    Possibly saw Tesla Bus model being carried into Design Studio

    That makes sense, and I thought today it would suck in cold weather- If practically half the car opens frequently to pick up/drop off passengers most of that heat is going to evacuate quickly. Two sets of FW doors it would have to be.

    Possibly saw Tesla Bus model being carried into Design Studio

    Wish I had more details! But as mentioned I had thought it was a cutaway to show the interior, but realized today it may have been to show how wide the theoretical large FW door opening would be. No ajar door above it, just a large empty spot in the top and side. Again, this is from a collected...

    Possibly saw Tesla Bus model being carried into Design Studio

    tl;dr possibly saw Tesla Bus model being carried into Design Studio on 12-14. Possibly uses giant Falcon Wing doors to access 4 rows of seating. Hi everyone, I don't post here often but felt I have a little info some may find cool. A few weeks ago I took my family to Disneyland for a vacation...

    Borrowed Model X for my first driving experience

    And good god this is amazing. Borrowed a 90D from the Turo app. I'm perusing the areas between Anaheim (doing Disney with family) and Venice. Where do you folks get a chance to absolutely floor it other than freeway entrances, of which I still haven't gotten an opportunity to due to traffic. I'd...

    Oct. 17 - Model 3 Reveal Pt. 2?

    Hasn't he been much more punctual lately with Tesla news, with the exception of being interrupted by the Falcon 9 explosion delaying that blog post? Honestly I was quite shocked the Model 3 part 1 reveal began right on time.

    Dramatic S sales increase for Q3?

    In my area I have observed many, many more new MS over the last few weeks. I, like I'm sure many of you, always keep an eye out for Tesla's on the road and can spot them a mile away. Previously I would go weeks or even months without seeing one, but every day this last week I have seen AT LEAST...

    Model 3 wave

    I've been doing exactly this (holding 3 fingers horizontally out the window at each Tesla I cross paths with) since March 31st. Had in fact considered starting a thread asking if it was lame and if I should stop, then realized it may be lame to start a new thread asking this. Thanks for taking...

    300-plus kW inverter for M3 -- implies MS equivalent performance

    Apologies for veering off the current discussion, but I recall someone (Consumer Reports or a gov't agency) showed during a tear down of a Model S some years ago there was still a surprising amount of empty space for a greater-sized battery. It comes down to cost though, which is why we do not...

    What is your true Model 3 budget?

    My Model 3 budget = To infinity, and BEYOOOND! (It's the American way after all.)

    Tesla makes offer to acquire Solar City

    Anybody know of ETFs that hold a good amount of TSLA? With them dropping due to this deal it would be a good time for a newbie investor such as myself to get in. Buffalo NY solar plant comes online around the same time Model 3 comes out, maybe we'll see package deals? Get your energy source...

    Any Oregonians who would pick up from factory if sales tax exemption fails?

    Just curious if there are any other Oregon residents who would pick up from Fremont if SB680 passes and allows us to pay no sales tax on our Tesla? I'm guessing interest will come mostly from Oregonians since we do not have a sales tax already. It's safe to say no Oregonian in the right mind...

    Cars to Buy or Lease While Waiting for Model 3

    If you were an early reservation holder for the Model 3 go for a two year lease if it is offered, so you can return it shortly after taking delivery. Payments will be slightly higher than the advertised cost of a 3 year agreement but it gets you driving emissions free immediately, which is the...

    Speculation : Tesla will start production of the Model 3 earlier ?

    Well, the webcast of the unveiling actually began on time. So far, so good.

    What type of car is Model 3 replacing for you?

    2014 Chevy Volt... which hopefully can be sold privately, and for a decent price given their recent upgrades. Probably not though. Wife's 2013 Leaf lease expires in July. Unsure what to do. Don't want to be stuck on their 30 kwh battery until mid-2019 when even Chevy (which after their press to...

    Education resources for learning electrical?

    I forgot all about this website! Even if it does not specifically provide what I'm looking for right now, there will be loads educational materials for me. Thanks!

    Education resources for learning electrical?

    Been lurking around these forums for quite some time, but my first post isn't about Tesla. Odd. EVs have been at the forefront of my mind for years, since watching a lead acid one-seater someone built in my small town drive by as a kid. I have had a Leaf since 2013, a Volt since 2014, and have...

    Model S potential buyers - what are you waiting for?

    Waiting on getting over that feeling of my chest tightening at the thought of committing to a mortgage-sized payment for personal transport.. Albeit ridiculously safe, stupidly fun (reportedly- never been in one), futuristic, sex-on-wheels personal transport. Okay, I'm hitting that Place Order...
