    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    It says that Tesla is a major client.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    My Shanghainese wife just read it and agrees with the comment which says that Tesla has cut the order for a major supplier by 30% not Tesla cutting their own production.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Our cars had some Michelin for range when we got them. Sucked in every other way. Got the AS pilot sport 4's as replacements. Much sharper handling and wet traction, not as good efficiency. Now have Hankook EV AS aftermarket. Better than the original Michelins but nowhere near the AS pilot...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Congratulations on the decision. I've been driving for more than 60 years, always had a sports car (Triumph, Porsche, C5), always manual shift. The first EV I drove was the first gen Volt. I was so taken by the smoothness and instant torque that I bought one within a few days. Ordered the Model...

    Supercharger - Bishop CA - Rocking West Drive (LIVE 22 Sep 2023, 24 V3 stalls)

    This site looks great but is not very functional. We visited it three times this week, coming in at 30 to 40% charge. The first time we got 250Kw as supposed to be. The second we got 150. The third time we got one connection that was offline and two others that were 72. The other site in the...

    Supercharger - San Gabriel, CA - Valley Blvd. (LIVE, 20 V3 stalls)

    I was there a week ago and it was down at 8:30 in the morning. We went shopping at the market and when we came out around 10 it was operating and full of cars. So it may be intermittently operating. Strange, but the actual status at the time does show up in the car. Not a charger to rely on.

    Supercharger - San Gabriel, CA - Valley Blvd. (LIVE, 20 V3 stalls)

    This is a very high usage site. Very! Neither taking it offline for low usage or adding magic docks to increase usage make any sense, but maybe we'll see. It leaves a big hole in the supercharger availability in the San Gabriel area. It's closure on Friday was a huge inconvenience for me as I...

    Getting "Charge Rate Reduced- Wall Plug Temperature High"

    Actually, after further observations it is clear that the issue isn't the MC's, but the outlet as has been suggested. Pulling the plug out and reseating it fixes the issue for awhile. Both of our MC's behave the same way.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Discoducky, you are perfect example of a Tesla fanboy with a closed mind in this statement. I too have found that stories in the NYT, the WP and LAT have shown shocking levels of prejudice and stupid anti-Tesla screeds, but this story is actually quite positive about Tesla and its approach to...

    Trying to Make Sense of Recent Software Versions, Update Numbers, and Downloads

    I think this must be correct. We have two early 2018 model 3's with FSD and hit the "button" on both of them. They have been stuck on 36.5.1 since then. This is in contrast to the past where we are usually early in any cycle of major releases. We have the premium connectivity and good wifi...

    Getting "Charge Rate Reduced- Wall Plug Temperature High"

    I have been getting the same error message and reduced charging on a 3 year old mobile connector that is used several times a week. Started happening a month or so ago. I have a second unused mobile connector and 14-50 adapter from our second model 3. Although the message indicates a problem...

    Is Tesla only good for local driving?

    I can't believe that you have a Tesla or have driven one extensively. If a supercharger site is being heavily used, the car will automatically set to 80% charge when plugged in. The owner can override this on the screen and go to whatever charge they want. We have done the OR and N California...

    Passenger lumbar support missing from new MY

    You may not consider them luxury vehicles but I do based on the features, not the buttons and leather. However, it does look as though Tesla is moving away from positioning them as luxury.
