The big difference here is that we have a CEO who apparently fired the whole department at his whim due to a disagreement with the leader, not because of pure incompetence and actual damage to the company. The parallel situations people in this thread here are using to trying to justify Elon's...

There was the term Reality Distortion Field that was used a while ago to describe Apple and Steve Job's hold on their fans. It is especially strong in here to describe the firing of the entire team because of the apparent refusal to do a targeted layoff. I cannot believe that people are trying...

Your point still doesn't prove anything about the state of the supercharging team especially as it relates to OEMs. At least GM still seems to be moving forward and not haphazardly dropping their entire charging team. At the very least this may show that Tesla may still be picking up the phone...

Official or not, that should have worked regardless of the official status of the adapter, given that other people have used unofficial adapters before on eligible cars and that they're passive. There could have been a variety of reasons as to why charging did not work that isn't tied to the...

I did some googling and Illionis recently passed a law requiring ev charging to be allowed to be installed. They'll probably still find some way to try to block install but you now have the law on your side (seems to have gone into effect as of the beginning of this year)...

Given that they've been shipping cars from China for quite some time, wonder why it has suddenly appeared. Was it caused by some delays, bad procedure, or something else? They are using different tires this time so wondering if that has something to do with it. Even those the OP hasn't updated...

The post I linked to the person used an older Gen1 mobile connector and wired it to 277V. As far as I know no dip switches or soldering was done in that UMC, just made a custom pigtail to hook it up, so no dip switch involved. Getting an older UMC might work, one could also try to wire an older...

I am surprised as to why it needs a split phase. Unless the UMC is different internally or there's something in the adapters, it should work in a 240-0 scenario (think Europe/South Korea). People have brought their cars overseas and L2 charging definitely works. Funny enough I remember...

Got it installed yesterday, tested today, works perfectly. CCS charging is expensive compared to Tesla supercharging (at least where I am) but I mainly did it to test it out. 2018 Model 3.

At least for the US the $7500 tax credit being available just for the Y which will skew things, so I'm not sure how much we can rely on such a ratio. However maybe data from other regions will be able to shed light on this (where highland has been out in greater volume anyways).

I already said it in this thread, but it will be hard to plot an overall lost sales due to stalkless controls due to it being largely confined to the S and X at first. However with the rollout of the highland 3 finally underway worldwide we'll get a better sense of things over the next few...

The context here I feel is relative to how people expect to drive cars today. Having to push a button now to invoke certain actions is certainly not intuitive as using stalk or buttons, as people in general have a sense of how certain basic actions work given how other cars works. New tech of...

The devil are in the details. The quote that I keep seeing tossed around is this: The key word to me here is intuitive manner. I am not sure if the buttons for turn signals would fall under such a manner despite being physical buttons. There probably will be additional clarification about...

Kinda presumptuous to assume that I was unaware of any of Tesla's early history with charging... What I said does not contradict Tesla's early experience, as type 2 / 3 phase plugs is not something that could have been ever solved with the current NACS connector. Either they would have to...

It now is back to the retrofit availably only for s/x. I guess once they change the availability message to actually include the 3/y the retrofit can be scheduled.

If OP really wanted to do this, you could get a BoostCharger from freewire as it uses battery storage to allow a lower power input; it can also take split phase power as well. https://freewiretech.com/

With regards to the OP, my understanding is that technically the paper plates for Texas from Tesla aren't dealer plates (given the rules about Tesla and dealerships), and taping it to the rear windshield is actually correct. One would need to look at the temp plate to see what kind they are. I...

F) 3 months maybe, 6 months definitely But seriously, I would think Mid 2024 at this point, but I do not have high confidence in that either.

Victim blaming does not solely mean someone adversely acted upon the victim. It also extends to areas of where the victim not necessarily doing anything wrong or maybe having a percentage of responsibility, but putting 100% on the person instead of other forces. ex. if you google "victim blaming...

There's two aspects to this: whether the end user could have done better whether Tesla could have done better Some here are focusing so much on what the end user could have done better, just because "they should have known better." But I think some of it could at least be mitigated by Tesla as...

Are you referring to what the poster posted? This? If so, do you realize that's a link to a tweet, and not a screenshot? This isn't deceptively edited but pulled directly from twitter/x's servers? Looks like you were not the only one to realize this. (I'm purposely focusing on you saying this...

There's still a lot of variables in play with that where I don't think that can be used as a true indicator of stalkless acceptance given the nature and price of the car; we'll have to look at overseas sales of the highland model 3 to see what happens. It will be interesting to see if stalkless...

with the advent of the trunk retrofit being made available (https://shop.tesla.com/product/model-3-powered-liftgate-retrofit) it would be good to kill 2 birds with 1 stone so only 1 trip to the shop is required. hopefully they say something about CCS retrofits in the near future...

1. it might not be that often, but when it's needed, not being able to hit it easily would be difficult given the position of your steering wheel. also depends on where you are, seems this would be a much bigger issue in europe. 2. this is a dumb argument because it speaks nothing to the...

I wouldn't be surprised if the usability testing group was size N=1, where that 1 person equals Elon Musk. Kidding aside, I would imagine that there may have been pushback and an actual larger test group, but Elon being Elon he probably rammed this through. Only when the actual demand problem...

The volume of S/X compared to 3/Y is a pretty big difference. I think there's still a big enough market for people to put up with no stalks for those cars but 3/Y is going to be a different ballgame. We'll see what happens over the next few quarters as this starts rolling out more and more. I...

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/tesla-semi-interior-review/?galleryimageid=726a3725-a743-4343-94d1-858c62ff71c8&test=treatment I recalled the semi having stalks, and it does. It does looks similar to the S/X/Highland 3 steering wheel. So if they have to backtrack, they have a base design to...

Have the Pirelli Elects after two rounds of the MXM4. Efficiency is comparable so far after 6000+miles (maybe a little worse but hard to tell as my driving pattern is different now). Sound is comparable though I have some tire noise at highway speeds for some reason, but only on certain road...

Nice deflection you got there. Elon came in because I was pointing out the obvious contradiction that some of you have with green vs him. If you really had the same standard for him as you did with green you would have "cancelled" Elon long time ago. But I digress. We're not going to agree...

Ah, about opening your mouth without knowing what you're talking about (looking at Elon again). But sometimes Elon gets things right; I won't deny and not give credit where is it appropriate. Same with green, I think we can agree that he has hits and misses, but my view on him is that he has...

Ehh, that's just like saying "what have YOU done lately?" when someone levels criticism of someone higher up when the person speaking is someone lower on the totem poll. You're essentially saying "He's Elon, therefore your argument is void." I could ask the same of you. I would also argue that...

Pot, meet the kettle (Elon)... In principle, I can agree with you on some of the things that he has said (especially around HD mapping). But you pointed conveniently ignore all of the other things he has reported on and said that do carry weight and truth. If you're willing to put up with...

Adapters won't work because the car probably doesn't have the CCS chip to do CCS charging as the earlier model 3's don't have it. You can try to follow this (Retrofit CCS compatibility onto earlier (NA) Model 3 - DIY approach). However the guide above was for NA cars and it is unknown whether...

I find it very rich that people would complain about people being petty / causing drama / etc. when of all people you would defend Elon would be very guilty of the same. But let's take a step back. Instead of dunking on green because his feelings were allegedly hurt, has anyone taken a look at...

You do not need to be a standards body to call something a standard. If you want to be particular about it, you can say it is an unofficial standard. But Tesla as it is today now calls it NACS. (Opening the North American Charging Standard | Tesla). Maybe it is kinda presumptuous to have...

You forget that despite the connector difference + cutout in the original AC/DC Tesla charger, you forget that Tesla themselves could have been subject to such a failure condition. The fact that they originally used it with no issues (plus continue to share AC/DC in NACS) seems to disprove the...

Elon mentioned wanting to originally have NACS everywhere, but obviously 3PH would have been an issue. If they had made a variant of NACS that supported 3PH then maybe we would be somewhere (or maybe even a plug where the 1PH and 3PH could still fit in each other ala Type 2, but maybe with less...

I think it is possible say this won't kill the company but also say that they should have better planned for this. Unlike other events and such this could have been more easily tested and anticipated, especially for something like this. People here are too black and white about this.

I disagree with you on many things, but I agree with you on this to a certain extent. Some other sites liken this to a SpaceX rocket exploding (forgetting the process by which SpaceX does things) and trying to say 1 rocket exploded, therefore SpaceX sucks. That being said, if that N=1 event was...

For a personal residence, I can definitely understand that viewpoint (though I still think permits have their place where needed less people do shoddy DIY work because they think they know it all). But for an office commercial building, for someone else, especially high profile? You bet I would...

Are people here really that daft? Everyone seems so attached to the contention that Elon wanted to have a restroom closer and/or en suite, somehow ignoring what I feel is the main alleged issue with the request, that it be built without permitting, which is why I think the issue was mentioned...

That is so rich coming from the likes of that person (along with others like the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley). They think they're in the 3rd column when they're more so in the 1st or 2nd.

I had a little more time to think about this... I already stated this in my thread (that Elon doesn't do any fact checking before posting), but what I come to realize is that he's becoming the very thing he hated, that is he's doing the same the click-baity gotcha misleading stuff that TSLAQ...

I wonder if he is conflating Buzzfeed the organization with Buzzfeed the news. Unlike the org I did not hear the same level of criticism about the news side of things. Wouldn't be surprised if he mixed them up.

Your problem is that you're trying to apply the "own the libs" mentality to the flip side, except that they don't see it that way. You make it sound like that they want to own Elon, everything else be darned, even if it means dooming their own business. In reality, if Twitter were to disappear...

I think so far Twitter has proved to be a bit more resilient than some have anticipated (recall people saying Twitter was going to collaspe from lack of maintenance and infrastructure changes). I do not think any one change (including this one) is going to kill off the platform. Rather, if it...

So this had actually happened to me with the previous update... what worked for me was to do the two-button steering wheel reset in the car and that seem to clear it out and allow new updates to come down (if available). Now I'm not sure why that worked as I have let the car go to deep sleep...

I still think Elon and others don't actually realize the power of reach that they have. (Or maybe they do but they don't care?) The rush to own is such an addictive drug to some. One day it's going to cause a lot more serious consequences for someone. edit: and of course nuance. with the longer...

what is this? I did not say that they have to carefully manage on 120V. I said that if they could manage on 120V, then they can go with 120V. If they determine that they need L2, then get L2. Obviously someone who drive like 200+ miles / day is not going to get by on just 120V charging. You're...

I seen this pattern of behavior from others like you before, where people were so highly convinced that if you did not have access to L2 charging at home that you must not own a Tesla. Again everything is dependent on your situation, and you even touched on that yourself and almost got it, but...
