    All US Cars capable of FSD will be enabled for one month trial this week

    For all you who received the v12 free trial, do all of your cars have interior cameras? I'm wondering if the free trial will ever come to teslas without the interior camera.

    Does it matter which supercharger I use on my 2017 Model S?

    My 90D charges significant faster today on V3 than compared back when I purchased the car in 2017 when speeds were limited on V2 split between 2 stalls. I hit speeds of 160 to 161kW now compared to well under 120kW back in 2017. Still pleasantly surprised by this old battery tech! Still got...

    Supercharging Speeds: Who, what, where, why, and when

    My 2017 MS 90D hit a max peak charge rate of 160KW today on a V3 in Oceanside, CA. Never seen it this fast before. I've been supercharging my car a lot over the past week and it consistently hits 143KW. I'm still pleasantly surprised with the old battery tech. Held up quite well and...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Michelson Dr. (Park Place, LIVE 19 Oct 2019, 12 urban stalls)

    This station is busy every single hour of every single day until about 10:30pm. The problem is that it is surrounded by large luxury aparment complexes to the north, south, east, and west. There are hundreds of teslas in these apartment units within a 1 mile radius and none of these apartment...

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Walnut Ave. (at Jeffrey Rd., LIVE 4 Dec 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    I just stopped by the east 5th street location. I was the only one there. Only 4 miles away from the other SC locations on Michaelson and FV. Sure beats waiting at those locations.

    Supercharger - Irvine, CA - Walnut Ave. (at Jeffrey Rd., LIVE 4 Dec 2020, 8 V3 stalls)

    How come no one uses the East 5th St. Santa Ana supercharger location? Fountain Valley SC, Michaelson SC, and the Walnut SC arealways packed but the Santa Ana one is rarely full.

    2017 90D vs 2018 100D - is it worth it?

    I had a similar decision to make back in June 2017. I narrowed it down to either a new 100D or a new inventory 90D AP2 (v3 battery) that cost 25k less after a significant inventory discount. I took much of the savings and invested in Tesla stock. It was the best decision I ever made on a new...

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    Ostrichsak...say you have to 2 options to purchase a 100k model s. Would you... 1. Pay cash in full today Or 2. Pay cash in full in 7 years 0% interest Based on your comments you would pick option 1. I just want you to realize 100k in 7 years is worth about 87k today once you account for 2%...

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    Ignorance is truly bliss. There is no "house of cards" as you put it. The cash is invested in risk free CD at 2%. If you dont understand how such a basic investment can guarantee a 2% return with zero risk then this conversation is clearly over as was the case when you would pass up on 0%...

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    My analysis was based on the assumption that a Tesla is simply a toy for which the buyer has plently of disposable income to spend. I would never recommend anyone to purchase a 100k vehicle unless they have the money to spend freely after all other neccessary financial obligations have already...

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    Also I need to add...some of the wealthiest billionaires in the world like Mark Zuckerberg still carry a 5 million dollar jumbo mortgage on his house in Palo Alto. Why does he do this? Because his rate is 1% which is less that the rate of inflation. In essence...its free money. Only...

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    As I mentioned previously, your suggestion of paying the car with cash in full completely ignores the concept of time value of money. Paying 100k in cash for a car today is not the same as paying 100k in 5 to 7 years from now (typical loan term for auto loans) after accounting for inflation...

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    Tesla offered financing through Chase back in 2017. My rate is 0.99%. This is the only instance where I wish I could borrow more than the car is worth. Like 100 million more.

    What to do?!?!? 2013 Model S 60 Battery fail

    Let's not also forget the concept of time value of money. If you can get a 50k or 75k car loan at 0.99% I'd take that loan all day every day without hesitation even if I could purchase the car in cash. Anytime you can borrow money less than the rate of inflation or under a typical CD rate...

    First World Problems: Display Range or Battery % but not both....?

    This issue has already been covered along with a poll of user preferences. Personally I prefer the range setting because most of us can estimate the remaining percentage by just looking at the green battery status bar. Knowing the exact percentage is rarely relvant under any conditions. Most...

    There are a whole bunch of ipace vehicles being tested right now in irvine ca on jamboree and michaelson. They seem to be going in a loop all day long. Saw it once in the morning and again after work. The car looks impressive in person. Love the sharp angular lines which is a stark contrast...

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll

    Nearly all BMWs dating back to 1997 and possibly earlier have had a range option. I'm certain all other luxury car brands have this feature as well. As I had eluded to in my previous post, the percentage is simply not important to many of us as we can still gauge the approximate percentage...

    Range or Percentage...a Simple Poll

    Range offers more information without having to do any math in your head. Anyone capable of eyeballing can gauge what the approximate percentage is just by looking at the green battery indicator.

    20" Model X Slipstream Wheels on Model S

    Tires and Wheels again 19 or 21?!

    Another possible option, you can up size to 20" Slipstreams from a MX. It's a nice compromise if you want a larger more aggressive wheel and maintain the OEM appearance and ride quality. Best of all, the wheels are affordable and you have plenty of tires to choose from in 20". IMO the offset...

    20" Model X Slipstream Wheels on Model S

    Mike-415, thank you for posting this informative thread! For the same reasons as you, I opted for the 20"s from a MX. It's a decent compromise between the style of the 21"s and the practicality of the 19"s while maintaining the OEM appearance.
