    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    This management technique is generally referred to as cutting off your nose to spite your face. Rich

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    Your comments are spot on. Speaking as a retired head of a small police agency I was taught (and learned) that voicing my views on subjects not directly related to my responsibilities was a losing proposition. Rich

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    Yes. I voted a few days ago (eTrade holds my shares). Rich

    FSD take rate after free trial 2%

    Valid question, one my wife and I have mulled over. Here's the dilemma. Tesla, as a company, is pretty flaky price-wise. Prices move all over the place, often with no warning or even logic behind the moves. If Tesla had a track record of being more stable in its pricing policies, then, for sure...

    FSD take rate after free trial 2%

    Interesting reading the comments and observations on FSD. Kind of all over the place, much like the phantom braking issue. We have two Teslas, MY LR and M3 SR. Subscribe now with the MY after trying out the new FSD version. Will likely buy it for $8K in a month (after doing a trip from south of...

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    Musk has demonstrated he is mercurial, unreliable, prone to make snap judgements which are harmful to his own business and the EV industry as a whole. The decision to wholesale fire 500 critical employees (how the heck would there be time enough to vet a group of this size prior to terminating...

    FSD (Supervised)...anyone else noticing less "Nags" ?

    Just home from a round trip of around ten miles (pizza run). Used the newly downloaded FSD in our M3 SR (August 2022). FSD all the way. No nags (I was experimenting...). Full disclosure: I was barely touching the wheel, often not. This is what I've been experiencing over the past few days using...

    J1772 adapter stuck

    What about using the plug release inside the trunk area on the passenger side of the car (kinda hidden but it is there)? Rich

    Extraordinarily Expensive Repair

    Wow. If it's your Tesla and not a lease then why not try a local reputable paint and body shop? Ya never know. Rich

    Long-Range M3 or Long-Range MY for local driving, no commute

    MDrew, for the record spouse and I own a 2022 M3 SR LFP model and a 2023 MY LR AWD version. Like them both. For local driving I'd at least look at the M3 SR LFP model. Great practical fun to drive auto. We use our MY for long road trips as well as local driving. Heading out to Cape Cod from...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    What I think we are seeing is the Henry Ford coming out of Musk. Ford created an industry, showing the world you can produce ICE vehicles on a mass production line relatively inexpensively. Several decades after his initial success his rigid micro-management style and refusal to change came...

    Long Road Trip - Is it possible to customize charge duration during stops?

    Brian: Model 3 from Hertz(?), must be a Standard Range LFP model. Real world road range (depending on your speed and the weather) will be around 220 road miles (EPA says 260 miles, wanna bet?). Don’t bother to charge past around 70% at Superchargers when traveling (takes too much time past 70%...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    Three Teslas, two MY LR AWD used for AZ~Cape Cod~AZ yearly trips. 70% of stated range at around 75 mph on the highway is about it. Rich

    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    Find the various views on FSD interesting. Been using current version on our MY LR for the past month. Like it a lot. Funny thing is, we're located just south of Tucson (where the OP is located) and have used FSD on a couple of 80 mile round trips into and out of the city (Green Valley to Lee...
