Annonced today, in a kind of sneaky way: mentioned on the order page under details for the new AP options: Please note that using a self-driving Tesla for car sharing and ride hailing for friends and family only is fine, but doing so for revenue purposes will only be permissible on the Tesla...

Night Shift is definitely one of the more appealing features to be added into iOS 9.3. Certain switched on users have already been experiencing this level of functionality on iOS by using the very popular f.lux app that originally made a name for itself in the jailbreak world. Apple has never...

After the update I can't seem to find any link to follow in order to donate to TMC. Where is it?

The SpaceX Launch Control center is now called the SpaceX Launch and Landing Control center. :)

Almost at the level of the "Mirai - runs on bullshit" commercial. C'mon Volvo - we're not stupid. The cars passing over the mat are going to increase their energy use for a short while, this energy is somehow converted in to electricity. I suppose the efficiency of this system is something like...

When the site was down there was a temporary chatroom. Would the current forum software, or some addon, allow for there to be a chatroom open a bit before and during the event. I would think it would be a good alternative to a thread with a large number of chat-like postings. Just a thought. Or...

After updating my iPhone 6S to iOS 9.3 Safari keeps freezing/crashing more often than not when I click links. I've read online that this is experienced by a lot of people on newer devices, including iPads. My question to those in the software industry is how can this be possible? With Apple's...

Let's have play-by-play the discussion here? Elon sounds confident! Really putting things in perspective.

SpaceX Getting Ready To Mass Produce Falcon 9 Rockets | Threwns 30 Falcon 9s is at least 10 Falcon Heavy (1 Falcon 9 + 2 stage 1 boosters).

Very interesting video presentation by nVidia as to what inputs a self driving car actually is getting from cameras, Lidar, radar and GPS etc.

I know this may be a controversial topic to raise, but could it be that Elon's goal to very soon populate Mars is a foolish goal? My main reasons for thinking this: 1. I have never heard or read of any technological concept that would allow humans to live for extended periods of time on Mars...

Read this article today: Teslas självkörande bil granskas i Sverige - Göteborgs-Posten A representative for the Swedish Department of Transport (Transportstyrelsen) says: "Our initial assessment is that Tesla's autopilot does not comply with the definitions in the regulations regarding...

Initially The model S was marketed with i'm on board hard drive that would be accessible to the owner to store for example music. Later these statements were retracted and there hasn't been much mention of the on board hard drive in the last year and a half. Now with the advent of autopilot and...

I came across a really funny post by woof today that I believe deserves to be preserved in the annals of history. So I created this Hall of fame thread. But please anyone feel free to post here :) - - - Updated - - - Supercharger idea - Hidden WiFi Access and video permitted while supercharging

Read today about a concept bus line starting June 15th in my home town of Gothenburg. Some interesting info: (Volvo used to be a Swedish company based in Gothenburg. It's now a Chinese company but they still have a factory in Gothenburg and a lot of design and development there) Energy storage...

So I've been giving this a lot of thought after the ER. There are many things to consider: the current yield market where there is a lot of money looking for a good investment, the words of Deepak about beeing free cash flow positive and self-financed from Q4 but at the same time the...

Last night before I went to sleep I was thinking about battery swapping from a different perspective, an investor's perspective, and when I woke up I had apperently reached some insights during my sleep. So I thought I'd post it here and see if it makes any sense. First off, I don't think the...

In browsing the TMC forum I feel I see too many posts quoting someone else and adding "+1". I believe this should be discouraged. You can instead use the "add to reputation" function if you only want to voice your approval of what someone else has posted without adding any new information...

Imagine if Tesla grows like projected, gen 3 in place etc. Later customers may not have as many enthusiastic owners but none the less there will be quite a few joining TMC. This site may grow really big! And it will be really cool for the Roadster owners who where here from the start! ;)

Just thought I'd create this thread for recording the discussion following the release of the Earnings Report and the Call that follows. Web link to the webcast (Wednesday, November 05, 2014, 5:30 pm EST = 2.30 pm PT) 2014 Q3 Earnings Report Alternative link (Dropbox) to the 2014 Q3 Earnings...

Thought this might be of some interest to Tesla enthusiats everywhere. FUD is a global tactic as the following shows: In Norway there is an organization very similar to AAA in the US called NAF. It has over 500.000 members which is rougly 10% of the Norwegian population. (AAA has 54 million...

Ok so after getting in to EVs and getting my S a year ago I must admit it's been a lomg time since I saw a combustion car and thought to my self: "I want to have that". But today was such a time. I heard a beatiful rumble from my next door neighbor. Look what he just brought home from Germany :)...

I had to fill up the old gasser today for tve first time in 6 months. It's a very nice Volvo V70 2.4 liter diesel that I will sell when tve X comes. I almost had a shock at the pump. I haven't been following the price developments for petrol and diesel. 800 NOK = $127 60 liters = 15.85 US...

In the last year I've become more and more convinced, as probably many others on this forum, that our global energy future will be heavily dominated by solar. Sure, in some places not but I think in 30-50 years solar will provide the majority of electrical power generation globally. Now, I'm...

I've been thinking some about a feature I would love to have in my car. This feature would be sort of a feature for an "advanced user" and would perhaps best be in a submenu of the Driving tab. The idea would to be to allow for user definable accelerator pedal mapping. First of all, the way in...

So, I've seen people posting on the audio threads about how SSDs and portable harddrives do work, at least up to 256 Gb. I've seen in other threads, such as the dash cam thread, that people have tapped in to the 12V outlet under the screen. So my thought is around the possibility of permanently...

An official e-mail from Tesla invites Norwegian customers to the offical opening of 6 Supercharging stations throughout Norway on Friday August 30th. Tesla have shown tremendous follow-through on getting these stations approved, built and ready in such short time. Actually quite amazing...

My favourite classic car has always been the early 70's Corvette Stingrays, you know the one's with the really fat hood and the ridges over the front wheels? I want to seriously look into the possibilty of buying one of these, converting it to and EV and have it shipped here to me in Norway...

After four days back in my home town with my wife and two kids visiting friends and family we were all ready to go home last night. The kids (10 months and 2,5 years old) and the adults were all fed, the car was filled with luggage and baby strollers, the boys were strapped in and we were ready...

I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where we could put news, rumors etc. regarding future investment oportunities in SpaceX. I'm absolutely thrilled with the progress SpaceX is making and how they have been able to win contracts and deliver the way they have. With Elon's unique...

So, it seems Nick has replied to Juliet's(?) last message. See this these posts on how the message was found. And the message reads: So not Conical but Comical lab huh? And the nutty puns keep coming. And he still needs his parts.

New drop.png is up! It reads: Ma-eDibeh-yazzieTkinMosaiKlizzie-yazzieGah-MosaiNe-ahs-jahNa-as-tso-si/ Bi-sodihLinNe-ahs-jahThan-zieNe-ahs-jahDibeh/91461024@Nesh-chee06/ ... Guess there's and e-mail adress in there (the part with the @). Now looking at how this might med crypted/scrambled. The...

Last year I made a little donation to this site. Today I made another one. I know there are a lot of us who are on this forum every day checking for news, rumors, learning new thing about the company and the cars (in my case about the Model S which I'm still months away from owning) and taking...

We all know that the Signature cars have been limited in options: Only four colours to choose from, most other options mandatory including only 85kW battery. US production cars are now in production and there are reports of 60kW cars going in to production early next year. For the P cars all...

Sadly journalism nowadays is a lot about creating "content". By the way, "content" is the stuff that fills out the void between the ads.

Okay, so I know it's a long shot, but people on this forum are smart and helpful and it wouldn't be improbable that there are some Apple folks here... I'm extremely frustrated with my Iphone 4 and it's randomly occuring bug: it is locked, a call comes in, "slide to answer" fails to work...

Today I put myself on the waiting list to upgrade to signature, should a spot open up (otherwise Europe P 553). My rep could not (would not?) tell me how many were on this list. Anyone heard anything about that???

I've understood that Tesla (and other EV producers) discourage the use of extention cords when charging. This must be a safety issue?* For example: if I charge from a 220V 16A outlet and I use a cord only rated for 10A it could get hot and start a fire. The way I've understood though is that...

For starters: I have reserved a Model S but now also a Model X. I'm not getting the Model S (but keeping the reservation as long as possible in order to get a test drive as soon as that's possible here where i live - Norway). The X just makes so much more sense - AWD (crucial in our long...
