    A thread for people with no problems

    We have had our MX75D for 9 months and 9k miles. It took us through a hard winter without snow tires, and occasionally pulls my neighbor's small utility trailer for hauling smelly, dirty or large objects. If you buy a Model X I strongly recommend the towing package, which is also available as a...

    Let's Speculate - What will happen if FSD isn't possible on cars sold with that option?

    Door problem blues in Boise

    I can't decide whether to be sad or angry, (probably both) but my new Tesla model S has a glaring quality problem worthy of a 1970 K car. Actually the doors fo the Plymouth wagon that I had during the K car era fit much better. (It had other problems, though, that were much more serious) So...
