I remember in older reviews one of the major grips about the center 17" touch screen was that it got really distracting at night. Well I have a solution! If Tesla used an AMOLED display, they wouldn't have to light up the entire screen at night. From my understanding, that technology allows...

I was watching a Volkswagen commercial (not willingly, it was an ad) and I was wondering why Tesla doesn't take advantage of other car companies lacking tech offerings? Model S literally has a large tablet in the center console. I guess my question is why do cars insist on connecting to your...

Oh I stand corrected about the lights. (Still think there placement/ implementation could be better but....) But the Parking Sensors are new correct?

Is no one going to comment on the Parking Sensors? Seems like that and the heated rear seats are the big updates to me! To be honest, the lights look a bit tacky. Like they were placed after-market or something but other than that great improvements. When will these hit the US?

OK thank you everyone for your replies. I think it makes more sense now that it's not 2am.

Is this going to hurt Tesla's supply of battery supply line? I don't think $56.5 million will put Panasonic out of business but I heard they were expanding there operations to provide more (and hopefully cheaper) automotive grade lit ion batteries. Sounds like a few top executives are going to...

Ok that makes sense. I don't know what I was thinking. Should have thought of that! How much do you think they would have to charge?

Good point but what I meant was that Tesla created a car that is worthy of it's target markets attention. You can't convert everyone, but it's telling that in his mind (even if he didn't really want one to begin with) that these were the two best cars in the price range he was looking to...

This guy is clearly out of his mind, but he got the car he wanted. I think what we should take away from this is that Tesla MS competes favorably in (and out) of it's class. This is the type of guy that Tesla will have to convince with it's next iteration of the MS and it sounds like they're...

Saying that you can't drive on the track for insurance reasons? Are you thinking that now that they own the track they'll have more coverage if one of you guys hurt yourselves (or eachother)? I would think they'd have to buy more coverage to cover any sort of non-employee drivers on the track.

Well I think until the event A LOT of questions will have to remain unanswered. But from my understanding of the way Better Place did their system in Israel, is that it's sort a car wash type thing. My real question would be how they will make this system work in a country as big as the US...

My feeling is that these dealership organizations are deep pocketed and don't want to lose as much as Elon wants to win, Am I right? I guess my question is will Tesla have to continue to fight this battle when they begin to sell more and more cars overseas? Do they have similar laws?

I think even then they should be hoping to get a little more money. If that projection is his honest bet on the future, I should be buying stock right now!! That would have to be huge profits in each quarter! I'ma HUGE fan but I don't think that reasonable considering the amount of the stuff...

In this talk with Bloomberg, Elon said that he didn't expect to have to raise capital for the Model X or Gen. 3 launch. He then went on to say that it would take a billion dollars to launch the Gen. 3.......:scared: Am I misinterpreting that or does that mean that Elon expects to store up a...

With Tesla raising close to a billion dollars what does that mean for the pace of expansion at Tesla. I'd love to know your thoughts on how this affects future models and superchargers and other projects Tesla has planned.
