Let me get this straight. There's this feature on Teslas that differentiate them greatly from their competitors and has the potential to be both life-saving and life-altering. It's been in development for nearly a decade. The CEO says the company is worth zero without this feature. They figure...

Reducing the amperage isn’t for protecting the car, the charging equipment or the battery. It’s that 12A is the maximum continuous draw from a 15A circuit. The 15A is just the maximum for a short burst, not a continuous draw like charging a car. The risk of starting a fire, tripping a breaker...

Tripping a breaker at someone else’s place is at least an inconvenience for the property owner and at worst means you can’t charge if someone isn’t able to reset the breaker for you. I too tend to reduce the draw when I’m using someone else’s electrical equipment when charging if it’s not...

supercharge.info indicates it's operational. Plugshare indicates it's up. Most recent logged charge was March 7/24 and it was operational then. A few users last year commented there that it failed to show in their Nav screen, but was fully operational. That's likely what you're noticing. The...

Turn off sentry mode and cabin overheat protection. If you’re plugged in 10 hours per day you’ll regenerate 80-90 km range each day. Given how small the islands are and the slow speed limits, it should take you quite awhile to run low if you plug in every night. Furthermore, Plugshare shows...

Far, far more lives will be saved by ending the burning of fossil fuels than by putting FSD on every car produced.

The people storming Gigaberlin or the people in charge of a newsfeed titled “the brake.” who don’t know the difference between brake and break?

EXACTLY. So, there will be a new team overseeing future development of the Supercharger network in time. Likely in the not too distant future. Their goals will be more aligned with Mr. Musk's and they'll be a lot leaner and more efficient. I fail to see the cause for all the consternation by...

But what about all the other car manufacturers? Other BEV only players get hurt just as bad by its withdrawl. Don't the legacy benefit from the IRA by selling their hybrids? Seems to me if the IRA goes away legacy will be hurt worse by it's withdrawl as they're already admitting they can't...

I'm finding this in my small town too and there's probably only 5-10 Teslas (2 of which are ours) driving around. Places where 12.x struggled once and I intervened are not a problem the next time through. Interesting behaviour. Now if only I could get it to stop the malicious compliance with...

After a week of living with the lastest FSD a couple thoughts have come to mind: 1. When purchasing a new vehicle, would you rather buy the one that can chauffeur you and your loved ones around more safely than a human driver or a vehicle that will never have that capability? Not saying it's...

Figure out how to do the oil changes OTA so they’re no longer a time-sucking inconvenience and I’m in!

The "the stuff that makes Tesla, Tesla - the California/Texas company" clearly needed an emoji to make it apparent I was joking around by drawing on an old criticism of the company. Sorry about that ommision on my part. IF the low, recessed headlights are prone to becoming blocked by...

Yes, but the fact they’re recessed and low so therefore prone to getting filled with slush (not mentioned in this review) is also the stuff that makes Tesla, Tesla - the California/Texas company. This has the potential to be a significant problem here where we have a combination of few...

Still unloading ships from the re-routing after the Houthi attacks? Just a guess, but I imagine that takes some time and may still be in progress. As an aside, I’m visiting your wonderful country. The number of Teslas here in Amsterdam is mind-blowing. So many EVs of all sorts here, it’s...

Sounds like it's time to load them on a 🚢 and dump them in the 🌊 ...

So then why do you still use a diesel truck for towing? Range anxiety? ;) Before you reply, be sure to check my avatar...

I just bought a new home, deposit has been paid, balance of payment is due in a few months when we take possession. Don't want to take out a mortgage as I've got the cash on hand from recently selling a business. In the meantime I've set the cash aside in a high interest savings account as it's...

Clueless. Anyone spouting off about Tesla "launching a price war to kill off their competition" doesn't know the first thing about Tesla. It's right there in their Mission Statement and Master Plans. The fact that they're lowering cost of manufacturing to lower the cost to the consumer is all...

Yep, I've been getting it at times on dark moonless but otherwise perfect condition nights. This in a June 2018 vehicle and only over the past few months; never prior to that. I suspect it's something that will disappear one day with a software update. It doesn't affect my FSD. The only...

This is what happens when you prioritize getting re-elected over saving the planet. Ironically, I think this will hasten the demise of the laggards.

This is an investors' forum. Of course we care about the stock price. However, IF we fail to control climate change then the stock market will become irrelavent and all that will matter is bullets 'n booze and your survival skills. The mission comes first, then the share price so that I still...

In addition to the excellent reasons you've already received, it seems to me you've already somewhat answered your own question: As you say, the CT is critical to the mission. It's probably Tesla's most ambitious project since the initial Model S (although I'm willing to entertain...

Welcome to the forums here Cashmere. I can appreciate your dilemma, you've explained it well. I'll offer up some things to consider, but ultimately the choice is yours. With respect to the FSD, they both have the hardware for FSD. Sounds like Option 1 does not have the subscription for the FSD...

When I purchased my X it came with one year of Premium Connectivity. I subscribed to more after only a few months ownership and didn’t start getting charged until after the initial free year expired. Leads me to believe they’re capable of keeping track of this stuff and your free years will all...

A reminder for those who’ve been around awhile (and a tip for those new here): TSLA often goes down on bad news, down on good news, and skyrockets upward on apparently no news at all. I for one would not be comfortable parking my money elsewhere waiting for good news about Tesla as a reason to...

Wow! There sure has been a lot postings since I last tuned in over my morning coffee a few hours ago. Can't wait to see what exciting news everyone's talking about today...

Just pay for the Premium Connectivity. If you spend any amount of time in your vehicle it's a good value and far less hassle than the workarounds (that also have a cost associated with them: hardware and data plans). Or are you trying for something else such as a hotspot for your kids' devices?

Yes, but isn't 90%+ of our driving done close to home? Even long trips all start from and eventually end up back at home. A useful stat would be number of collisions per mile driven within a certain radius of home vs. outside that radius. Haven't ever seen that stat. Secondly, another reason...

Who exactly has been doing the escalation in this conflict? As I see it, one party is simply trying to go about it's business. The other has done ALL the escalation to date.

My hope is, it’s a percentage of all the monies the plaintiff lost holding those 9 shares since 2018.

Looks like right across (West) Hwy 97 from the airport. Should be a good location.

Maybe so, but should ALL compensation plans rely on impossible to achieve goals? If not, why should Elon's?

I’m feeling disenfranchised by this ruling. A judge has ruled that my votes don’t count. I took that vote very seriously (more seriously than most political elections I’ve voted in) and to have a judge dismiss it as she has leaves me feeling stripped of something important. It’s hard to put in...

Until every factory position on this planet and possibly others has been filled by Teslabots, the flat feet will do fine. By the time I get old and need one as a porter on my backpacking trips, I'm sure they'll have a more versatile foot option available.

Why am I getting the sense that an angry Elon running Tesla for the next 5 years might be an amazing thing to behold for the shareholders...

Thank you for your summary. I fail to see how this package didn't represent the shareholder's interests. My wife's and my gains from my $TSLA holdings that I had at the time I voted *FOR* his compensation package far exceed all the monies the two of us have earned in 40 years (each) of working...

How is a government service taking action against one of the parties in a labour dispute not government interference?

One of the primary motivations of the ____ Day events is recruiting. They're engineer limited for their upcoming products. They want to get bright minds intrigued enough to apply for work at Tesla. This works for exciting projects such as next gen batteries, robotics and A.I. and they have to...

Anyone remember a time when the most heated debate around here was whether to spend our gains on a mountain or an island? Yeah, sometimes I miss those days…

Really doubt Elon thinks that much about the stock price. He knows TSLA is under constant attack. He's advised everyone to not invest in TSLA if they can't handle the volatility. He's got plenty of things to work on that he has more control over and that move the mission forward; the day to day...

True, but also the fridge quickly depletes those batteries. Have killed mine off multiple times with long days towing and no recharging of the RV’s batteries from the tow vehicle, even with solar on the RV’s roof. I simplified by stating that the tow vehicle power supply is powering the fridge...

The P3 should work just fine as my P2 does since the brake controller doesn't draw power from that line. However, the X still doesn't supply power on that line so if you need that power for your trailer for some reason (power your refrigerator while travelling? charge your RV's batteries while...

So, extortion of employees in addition to extortion of employers. Nice. While in principle I’m sympathetic to the concept of unions, in practice, sometimes they do make it so hard to support them…

I, on the other hand, believe that should Tesla capitulate to the unions around the world then we’ve likely lost our last chance as a civilization to stave off the worst effects of global warming and there will be far more catastrophic effects that a few people’s sensitivities triggered by Elon.

It's rather silly IMO. If they really want to make the roads safer they should disallow any vehicles access to the roads until they've demonstrated active and passive safety systems as good as Tesla's or better. Instead they come up with this... 😡 (Edit: only half joking...)

All Seasons in bad winter weather = dangerous, ranging from inconvenient to damaging to your health and pocketbook or even death. Winter tires in hot weather = a little quicker wear (assuming you're driving sensibly, not racing!). For 3 weeks, I'd leave the winters on. The premature wear on the...

If I'm interpreting that rough translation correctly, IF Metall is making members at other businesses sympathy strike against Tesla while they can't even get their own union members that actually work for Tesla to go on strike?! That's got to be somewhat embarrasing. You've got to think they've...

Sadly, a lot of people have fallen victim to to the great amount of disinformation spread by parties threatened by Tesla. Since those parties happens to represent a very large proportion of the wealth created in the last 150 years, they're very well connected (media, politically) and funded and...
