You mean some like Hurricane Sandy?? Unfortunately I am afraid it will take more than one or even 3

4680’s could go into the 3 effectively dropping the price 15-20% by getting the tax credit back. That would make a difference

I ALWAYS carry the Tesla Mobile connector with me and quality 15’ extension cord. My son, my In-laws and many hotels/VRBO’s do not have chargers but nearly everyone has 120v outlets. At 50 miles a night it is not great, but often just enough to make the trip worry free. PS I also carry the...

As with many people I was quite disappointed in the Q1 P&D numbers. So, it got me to thinking how could Tesla increase demand other than dropping prices. I am looking at low-cost options. As we have found dropping prices hurts margins, tarnishes Tesla’s “luxury” image and hurts us owners by...

I have and early 2018 with Enhanced Autopilot, not FSD. I have not gotten the free month trial at V11.1 (2024.8.9). Can I really upgrade to FSD for $2000 now as the app says or will I need to come in for a computer and camera upgrade that I hear could be $1500 more? With no people to talk to...

I have an early 2018, and no FSD trial yet. Do I need to upgrade to hardware 3.0 or better first and is so what is the cost for the camera and computer upgrades? Thank you

No sound logic and this is what Hyundai did to break into the U.S. Market with their 100,000 mile warranty. Another low cost thing I wish they would add is V2H by adding a few 120v or even a 240v outlet so one could power home essentials if the grid were down. Add value for little cost.

There are a lot that could be cut from a Model 3 starting with size as it is still on the large size for most sedans. Think Corolla or Civic. Then basic audio, no rear screen no rear seat heaters. Possibly cloth seats. Smaller tires steel rims….. the biggest advantage I see is getting a car...

True with net metering there is little to no ROI with batteries. And typically the round trip efficiency is worse than the stated efficiency. Often as low as 80%. If you want or need backup or can arbitrage time of use that helps. But ROI no with net metering.

The SAME normal variation applies. Do you weigh the same every morning?

All numbers vary. On a drive the range and watt/mile will change. When you charge bot the numbers will change. The changes you are reporting are well withing expected variability.

Same here. Nor sure if they are late or if our legacy cars do not support FSD.

Very predictable in my opinion as the price for a Model 3 effectively jumped 15%-20% with the loss of the Federal Tax Credit. I wish Tesla would pull out all stops to make the Model 3 qualify again,

Yes a Model Y type delivery van would likely sell very well, especially in Europe.

I am all for Tesla selling a cheaper car. But they have very few models so make an economy one. No need to cheapen the 3 or the Y. Or maybe offer a lower trim model 3 or Y, I am OK with that as well.
