2023 Model Y LR.

Stopped at these chargers on 6/7 travelling from Las Vegas in route to San Diego. Overall chargers were nice. Use the navigation and it routed me to these chargers. Lots of solar panel and good share which is nice for Barstow. I arrived with 14% charge but the charging rate didn't climb...

Which specific money did the US government allocate to SpaceX to subsidize the creation of Starlink? No, a US government launch contract isn't a subsidy.

I was surprised myself to find out a Y Long Range was built in Austin when I looked at the VIN and found a A for the 11th Digit.

Just took delivery of PA190xxx in Carlsbad CA. Model Y LR. The car was almost flawless, went over the car with a checklist the next day. Found one very slight issue with the right rear passenger door but overall very good quality. The lower part of the rear door seems to be a little proud of...

Not even close because I don't drive like they do for the EPA range test in my Leaf. Just like I have never owned a ICE car that got the actual MPG on the Monroney sticker. All it does is tell me the expected MPG using the EPA method so it gives me the same baseline to compare different...

As a Nissan Leaf owner I can tell you the Tesla Range meter is more accurate than the Range meter in my Leaf. I recently rented a Model Y and drove it 800+ miles in a week. I just used the battery percentage instead of miles of range and I found the battery percentage to be really accurate...

I am moving houses in Southern California and I currently have two Tesla Powerwall's. I have already told the listing agent to exclude them from the listing contract and we would be moving them to the new house. A couple of Solar Installers were not willing to move the Powerwall's. I just got...

14-years is long enough, time to find someone else.

Ok that makes sense. If the Tesla stock is lower, he will just have to put up more stock as collateral. From what I understand for every $100 value of Tesla stock he is allowed to borrow $20.

If the WSJ is correct, he faces a Margin call when the stock drops by 43% which would mean something below $600.

For those who don't have access to L1-L2 charging at their residence wouldn't we use the model of DC charging for them? For example DC fast chargers in a Grocery store parking lot so as they shop for groceries they can charge their vehicle.

I have lost track the number of times I have seen this picture pop-up lately with somebody claiming that this picture demonstrates that somehow Tesla and EV's are just a fraud.

See it all the time in the Wall Street Journal comments section for any article on Tesla or EV's. Thinking of Buying an EV as Gas Prices Surge? Just pursue through the comments section your will find plenty of FUD. The best one's are the comments that the batteries have to be replaced every...

I have seen some increasing FUD about EV's lately. I swear that as EV's become more practical the FUD level increases from some people. Gas price hikes fueling electric vehicle conspiracy theories Some social media users suggest that soaring fuel prices in the U.S. aren’t the result of...

In the discussion about the cost of charging at home. One thing that I really like about charging my EV at home is that the cost of charging is fairly consistent. Usually your per kwh cost of electricity is stable month to month with some changes year to year as new rates go into effect...

You are not able to logon to your SCE account and check?

At 4 miles per kwh that is $.08 per mile in energy costs. At $4.50 a gallon and averaging 30 MPG that would be $.15 per mile in energy costs. The Tesla will be about 40% less in per mile energy cost. I think that is significant.

The reason I defend Elon as a human being is because I relate to the struggles that he goes through everyday as somebody who is on the spectrum and having to interact with a world full of neurotypical judgmental people.

You claim opportunism in Musk's philanthropic endeavors but we really only hear about the ones that make the news. So yeah his philanthropic endeavors always seem to coincide with the news cycle because that is what makes the news. Do you see how this claim of yours can be a self-fulfilling...

So Musk buying ventilators and then donating them to Medical Facilities that need them is not a worthy cause?

A Engineering Explained video from earlier this year about this same topic. As usual he does a fairly good job of explaining how he did his calculations. If Gas Cars Are Banned, Can The Grid Handle Electric Cars?

I was over by the Mission Mall yesterday picking up some food from the food court. The SC's appear to be very heavily utilized with all stalls having cars charging in them on a Tuesday morning at 10am. The wife and I were trying to figure out why this site seems to be so heavily utilized. Is...

So if Tesla does roll out a wider beta of FSD in the next month will you acknowledge it or just move the goal posts?

I have seen much more than stopping at stoplights and stop signs on the full FSD beta videos on Youtube. Your car doesn't navigate on Auto-Pilot? Doesn't do auto lane changes?

Considering how many "experts" claim that full FSD if still at least 10-years away and requires LIDAR. I think a lot of the sour grapes about Tesla not meeting deadlines around full FSD can be filed under "If Musk promises you the moon in six months and delivers it in three years, keep things...

I doubt that charging is going to be cheap for these trucks. In your scenario of needing to charge overnight with a daily usage of 300 miles which means if we assume 2kwh per mile that would mean you need to charge 600kwh overnight. So if we assume 12 hours of charging available that would...

Musk was pretty right on with the Chinese Giga-factory timeline of when the factory would come online and the Tesla Model Y going into production. Remember if Musk promises you the moon in six months and delivers it in three years, keep things in perspective: you’ve got the moon.

Why don't you just do a test and turn off your service and see if you can get the Solar Inverters to kick on? Let the Powerwall's drop below 80% and see if the Solar Comes back on.

As far as I can tell Stormwatch is activated regardless if you are in a area that will be susceptible to pro-active blackouts because of the Red Flag conditions. I turned it off for myself because I know my area is not susceptible to these types of blackouts.

The 12V battery on my 2015 Leaf lasted about 3 years. The 12V died on me with no warning and left me temporarily stranded at a shopping center. I called AAA and within 60 minutes a battery tech came out and replaced the 12V and the car was drivable again.

More options the better. If you are driving during a congested time the route planning software in the car could suggest you stop at a certain location versus another to help balance out the congestion.

Multiple GM plants have reported infections of COVID-19.

Would you still be upset if Tesla would have waited until the County had given permission to re-open and workers still got sick?

So Tesla blatantly started the factory up and LE took no action to shut Tesla down. What type of message does this send? If you are a large enough company you can just ignore the order? Peer pressure from who?

How do you know this for sure?

So why didn't the Sheriff enforce it? At anytime the Fremont PD or the Alameda County Sheriff Department could have gone to the factory and enforced the order. However they didn't. Which could means the county has realized the quarantine laws could be on shaky legal grounds constitutionally...

Get out the popcorn. Looks like Musk opened the factory anyway. Personally I don't agree with this. It sounds like a agreement was in-place to open on May 18th. Musk should have given the county the additional week and had some additional patience. Tesla has already started making cars...

Musk probably cares more about the long term damage that humans are doing to the plane than actual people.

You think it is ok for officials to not return phone calls and e-mails from one of the largest employers in the county? Call me old fashion, but not returning phone calls and e-mails means to me that you are not doing your job properly.

Tesla Getting-back-to-work plan. It is a interesting read if you have some time. Getting Back to Work I have been told previously that not returning phone calls and e-mails is expected behavior from un-elected bay area bureaucrats. Contrary to the Governor’s recent guidance and support...

That is what I am worried about. It seems like there is many people on this board who don't understand how Bay Area bureaucrats make decisions. They think making money is bad but at the same time ignore the fact that people need to work.

I wonder how the negotiations actually went? Was it basically one sided with no give on the counties part? The CEO added that Tesla has been able to keep operating its castings foundry and other facilities in San Joaquin County, which located next to Alameda, despite the shelter-in-place...

#1- Newson claimed Tesla hadn't delivered any ventilators to hospitals in CA when Tesla actually had delivered ventilators to Hospitals who asked for them and confirmation from hospitals in CA saying they had been delivered. Musk went out and bought these ventilators in China and had them sent...

Were there any other large scale vehicle manufacturers that were impacted by this order in Alameda County? No, so why would you think the shutdown process would be the same as other much smaller scale manufacturers? If Alameda County Sheriff has a problem with production continuing until March...

There is so much rumors flying around I have a hard time believing what is being said at this point. On one hand you have the Alameda County Sheriff saying minimum basic operations yet Tesla is keeping 2,500 workers on at the facility. Which to me is far above minimum basic operations. You...

Based on reading a couple of different sources. The Federal Government has previously directed that National Critical Infrastructure continue to operate. This covers business sectors crucial to the economic prosperity and continuity of the US. This includes auto-manufacturing. During a...

It appears that people within Alameda County Administration were confused themselves about the order. You had some in the Administration saying Tesla could remain open and some saying they couldn't. My confusion is as follows. The order from the County clearly says that auto-repair...

Just supporting 250kW the same as the Model 3 would be good progress. Can V3 supercharging stations support anything higher than 250kW?

I wonder if this new pack for the S&X will support the same charging speeds as the Model 3 packs.
