The 2023 Investor Day included 2022 data for the entire Tesla fleet. I should have included this above. 1.9 million total charges sessions per day for entire fleet. ~214,000 per day were Superchargers. This is about 11% of all charging sessions on SuperChargers so 20% in the calculation is...

Let’s estimate how many Superchargers will be needed in the US and project the needed growth rate of the network to accommodate all cars. 3 x 10^12 miles driven in US per year. Unclear if this number includes non-passenger trucks and buses. Alternative Fuels Data Center: Maps and Data -...

Elon has spoken several times regarding the value of FSD and robotaxis to the future value of TSLA. This includes the predicted 5x utility if the car is self driving and out earning money. One unknown I would like to understand better is how we expect the liability to be managed and is the...

I have used Firestone 280 just east of I459 for the last four years for two different Teslas. The original mechanic familiar with Teslas is Mike. They seem to work on plenty of Teslas including alignment.

I had a failed 12v battery in model 3 and could need get car going with lithium jumpstarter. Mobile tech said that is sometime the case. He had one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H8N99YU/ref=twister_B016VWYQZA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&tag=tmc064-20

From my recent Petersen Museum visit

Perspective My wife bought Amazon in the 1990s for a modest IRA investment. We held since then including the dot com crash in 2001 with almost 90% drop. I remember the anxiety we had at that time. Now I can barely see that drop on the chart. Part of the reason we kept these shares...

I am not an expert but it seems that the wait time for a car can be modeled using Queueing Theory. In my workplace we model the wait time for an expensive medical procedure using this methodology. When a resource (the factory or the medical equipment) is fully or nearly fully utilized, small...

Interesting that I have at least two service events in 2020 that are now gone. Oldest is 10/2020. Thanks for your reply

2018 Model 3 out of warranty is missing service history older than two years. Wife’s Model S still under warranty shows older appointments. App is current version and all filters in the service history have been cleared. Anyone with older Model 3 missing older service history in the app?

Albany is on a 4 lane highway that is the major route from Birmingham (280) and Montgomery to I75s. Albany is a regional healthcare destination and is great addition to the Supercharging network. I agree with prior comments on North GA mountains. I was in Blue Ridge last weekend and there...

I am reviewing the EV tax credit bill. It appears that a payment can be made to a dealer (page 381) and that dealer discloses to the buyer that a tax credit is available to offset the purchase. The buyer may or may not be eligible based upon income limits. Is the buyer supposed to disclose their...

I have Kuat 2.0 with two or three bikes (with or without extra bike add-on) attached to Stealth Hitch on Model 3. With two bikes (no extender) I have been able to charge in seven of eight superchargers visited to date. It is usually very close. With the third bike I would have a problem more...

I had similar intermittent loss of USB power with Nomad. I had at least 5 visits and cables were blamed twice. Eventually I removed the Nomad and tested with two identical SSDs and two identical separate cables demonstrating an ongoing problem unrelated to the cable or SSD. The USB hub was...

My MCU was replaced. Had to sign up for beta again. At next release with score 97 I had FSD again.
