    Yellen's idea to tax unrealized capital gains

    So this was a verboten subject in the round table because it's political but I was surprised to hear that in her testimony and I think it deserves discussion. On it's face it seems like a spectacularly bad idea that could destroy the entire capital markets. For example if they simply "marked to...

    Weird charge planning on my recent road trip

    My model S has version 2019.40.2.1 software. I took a trip to Hawk's Nest state park in West Virginia the other day, starting from home (Clarksville, MD). I didn't do any prior trip planning and I'd never been to that area before - I just put in the destination to the navigation. It came up...

    Plaid power train (out of investor thread)

    This is my "dumbed down" explanation post that @CorneliusXX asked for regarding my post Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019 Investors' Roundtable. My original post was trying to correct the mistake that @Fact Checking made about the plaid drive system having 3 different fixed gear...

    Fantastic Service Experience

    On Monday my passenger side rear door handle stopped retracting; I used the app to schedule service. I got an email the same day for a scheduled service appointment for April 10 at the Rockville service center; The next day I got a text message and email asking if I would like to have the repair...

    brake lights on screen rendering of car?

    I have a red model 3, so the car rendering on the display shows it as red. I never see the brake lights "lit up" on the cartoon display, ever. I wonder if this is because they are already red from the paint color so there is no contrast, or because I don't have autopilot, or maybe they don't...

    Bumping around on the screen

    One drawback to the touchscreen is that your finger is not anchored when you press a virtual button. Even a small bump in the road can cause you to press the wrong location. It's happened to me several times where I end up pressing the temperature setting (turning on the HVAC in the process)...

    any way to delete a driver profile?

    I've read the manual and poked around the touchscreen, but couldn't find any way to remove a driver profile. Is it possible?

    Replacement key-cards unavailable

    I had my wallet stolen on a recent trip to Florida only 2 weeks after getting the model 3. My key card, sadly, was in the wallet. Since I flew to Florida I really should have taken the key card out (and a bunch of other things), but I've never had my wallet stolen or lost before in my life so I...

    Side mirror fwd/reverse settings

    So I was adjusting the settings of my side mirrors for reverse and when I went back to drive, only the up/down tip of the mirrors changed. Tried re-adjusting in drive then shifted to reverse and again it only changed the up/down tip and kept the in/out tilt the same from drive to reverse. So...

    Passenger-side rearview mirror

    Quite good condition, a few light scratches on well-hidden chrome. From the date on the cable it was made in 2017 so I think it probably fits at least 2016-2017. I mistakenly bought this thinking it was a driver's side mirror. Asking $180 + $15 shipping to continental US. Mirror-l1600 by hacer...

    Where should I get my Eco-Hitch installed?

    I live in Maryland, which doesn't have any certified installers listed on Torklift's website. Anybody have a recommendation for a shop that installed your hitch?

    Locking charge port is a pain when auto-present is turned off

    So I've turned off auto-present on my car. I did this mainly to reduce cycling of the door handles when I go into my garage for something other than driving away. Anyway this means that the car remains locked until I press a door handle. When the car is locked, so is the charging cable. The...

    Speech recognition worse with 8.0

    Before 8.0 my Tesla virtually never made any errors with voice commands. Now with 8.0 it usually fails to recognize the command words e.g. "drive to" or "play" and isn't as good with the rest either. Before 8.0 I was blown away with the accuracy - it was better than Siri and Google. Now it's...

    Navigation gone nuts

    I don't know if this was caused by the last update the other day or not but the navigation is plotting totally incorrect paths. It wants me to go the wrong way on one way streets and goes to the wrong location. The map shows the correct street names but ends on a totally different street than...

    Slacker: No more songs available

    So I created a couple of custom stations in slacker (on my PC using my Tesla account) each of which had about 50 artists. My son also created one with only 4 artists. They were all working great until a few days ago. Then my two stations started showing: while my son's station continued to work...

    60 kWh car is a bargain

    The EPA rated range for the 60 kWh car is slightly more than 63/75 of the EPA rated range of the 75 kWh car. This suggests that when you buy a 60, you actually get a 63. For the 70 kWh refresh car (no longer available) the EPA range ratio is just about exactly 70/75.

    Rated miles vs Wh/mi

    I'm a new owner, model S 70D refresh (and thus an actual 75 kWh battery but software limited to 70); I've had the car 12 days now. I notice that every day when I go to charge my car that the rated miles consumed exceeds the actual miles, even though my Wh/mi since last charge always seems quite...
