    CT Owners - This is about as easy as it gets to contact your state senator ...

    There is not much the white house can do really. It falls outside their power, in best case scenario into a grey area that they would be hesitant to enforce. The only one who can do anything at federal level is either US congress or the supreme court. I also understand that contacting locally...

    CT Owners - This is about as easy as it gets to contact your state senator ...

    Guys/Gals, for those of you who are wondering what can be done other than contacting the local senators. It is also important to pitch the story to the national media. Historically speaking, national pressure has had a huge impact at getting compromises going even when odds were against Tesla...

    Connecticut OK's Tesla Sales

    The bill is back from committee, show your senators and representatives support for the bill so the same does not happen, and keep an eye out for hearings: Tesla Bill Passes Transportation Committee I think the bill is SB-3 (not sure if this is the final name) Connecticut General Assembly

    New Forum Design

    My complaints are as follows so far: 1) The top is taking up too much space. It shrinks after scrolling, but is there a reason we need the larger view on top? Effectively before I could read the top post without any scrolling, now I have to scroll to even read the first post. The top also has...

    Guy Imports Model S into Singapore, Takes 1 Year for Licensing, +$15K

    There seems to be an update to all this which makes less sense by the minute. The weirdest part in bold and underline. UN body on Tesla: Singapore likely to be only nation factoring carbon emission from grid for EVs - Channel NewsAsia

    Denmark: P90D sticker price to increase 180% on Jan 1 2016

    I wonder if Tesla could still do something about that, for example. Let people buy the P90D but software limit the ludicrous mode. You would then pay 10k afterwards to get it unlocked. (Though Tesla might need to make it 12k or something like that to hedge against people deciding against it...

    Dissing Tesla Reliability

    Consumer reports actually did put out a number, at least they did in 2013. So it might be larger now. That number is over 600 owners. Tesla Model S Recommended | Car Reliability - Consumer Reports News

    Elon Musk says some unwise things about Apple and their hires from Tesla !

    This kind of response is not strange for Musk, he made a similar responses in the past. That is Musk being fed up with the media response. He gave a similar response about Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic despite both of them being friends. The reason was because the clueless media keeps trying...

    My biggest surprise? They didn't show the seats folded for max cargo

    From Jalopnik: Tesla Model X: This Is It As for the wire stuff, any pictures? That said wires can probably be hidden easily enough, I have seen small wires fitted into things that are almost invisible. But not sure of the cost or the reliability. (Automotive needs higher reliability than...

    The new nose

    I think that one is Tesla to blame, they have been hiding the front so much that when I saw it my first reaction was. They are still hiding the front? When the 2nd darker car drove in I thought that Musk was going to play a joke and say, joking here is the real front! It wasn't about it being...

    Volkswagen Is Ordered to Recall Nearly 500,000 Vehicles Over Emissions Software

    But as your article states, pretty much everyone was doing it. So not sure how it is pulling a Samsung. Realistically speaking, benchmark cheating in the GPU world has been going on for ages, Nvidia, AMD/ATI, Apple, Microsoft and etc were all at one point caught cheating on benchmarks. So again...

    Volkswagen Is Ordered to Recall Nearly 500,000 Vehicles Over Emissions Software

    I can't wait to see how Lauren Fix is going to "fix" this, I remember her bashing Tesla clamoring for "Clean Diesel". Pulling a Samsung? What does that even mean?

    Shareholder message: Raise $500M?

    This announcement makes no sense to me really, why now and why so little? If they really wanted to do a stock raise they could have delayed lowering of forecasts to Q3 and did a stock raise for much more at a higher price. Since they had a credit line, one would have figured they would have used...

    Assuming they are not rounding, Tesla plans to install level 2 chargers at 24 garages in Manhattan Log In - The New York Times I wonder if they plan to do the same in other major cities.
