I just scheduled a service appointment for Th 11 Jan 2024.

Surprised that they didn’t take the opportunity to install some number of Superchargers in that HUGE parking lot.

Wonder if they will have an open house?

Here are some progress photos taken 31 May 2023. They have a gigantic parking lot. And all over the lot they’re excavating these oddly shaped cutouts. Could be Superchargers or lights or ? The large lot and building would support the Tesla Semi too. Jim

Here’s some in progress photos from the renovation of the old Pathmark supermarket into a very large Tesla facility. There’s a huge parking lot and they have excavated odd shapes. Rounded corner and a angled corner. Could be lighting or Supercharger stuff. Probably have a lot of space for...

So what would be wrong with a 100kWh Roadster with 300 mile range, significantly lower weight and more affordable.

No. H2 is a dead end technology for vehicles. Too many infrastructure problems and costs. Piping, pressurizing and storing H2 is just more trouble than it's worth. I was in that world for 2-3 years. What changed was the rapid (and continued) rise of lithium battery technology. All anyone...

Not to mention that major advances that the Tesla Semi will be with regard to the problem of jack-knifing. This alone will be a huge safety gain which will be enabled by computer control over the 4 wheel motors.
