I recall reading the transcript to the call for the SR where he did say closing of stores that were no longer beneficial. He did not say closing ALL stores. That to me appeared to have been made up as a headline by media and because the call was not public, no one was able to dispute it until...

Big update! Leasing now available in the US BUT no option to buy at the end. The car will be used by Tesla in the Tesla Network....bodes for interesting event on Apr 22... Edit: Dangit...Mars Emperor beat me by a minute

A bigger potential impact would be the exchange rate used by Tesla to set the Canadian price. Should the Canadian dollar pop a bit, that could allow Tesla to re-adjust pricing once the budget actually takes effect. The Canadian dollar can and does fluctuate. A few years ago it was at parity with...

Can't get to the order page...keep getting errors. Bad site design? Or lots of interest?

Some additional datapoints, both my brother and I previously planned to wait until FSD was real before upgrading, but are now seriously considering upgrading our M3s to FSD. Likely going to wait until after the Y reveal and if they have reservations for the Y, we'd likely both be putting one in...

Interesting that v3 supercharger is an actual in person event from that leaked invite. The Model 3 SR was not. If this is an in-person event, seems a bit much to simply introduce the next gen supercharger. My speculation is either the v3 supercharger is massively improved with onsite demos...

What about announcing plans to build electric rovers based on Tesla tech for SpaceX for future moon/mars missions?

I fully intend to keep the NDA. :)

By the way, I will be touring the Tesla factory (Fremont) in early Feb. If there are any suggestions as to what to ask or keep an eye out for, please DM me! I expect I won't be able to share specific details due to NDA, but could at least keep an eye out and provide general thoughts.

I would concur that my service experiences at the Service Center in Toronto were top notch. Getting a hold of someone on the phone or response by email does take time though.

New motor trend article regarding today's track mode update. Pretty cool read. Tesla Model 3 Performance Track Mode (Release Version): Ludicrous Handling - Motor Trend

Funny story regarding other car company's and base cars. Back in Nov, my parents were contemplating replacing their 7 year old Benz C300 with a new C300 AWD. Although I had my Model 3 on order, we were not expecting to get the car until late this year. So my parents went to the local Mercedes...

I was wondering too, so I checked the Tesla IR for the compensation package. It says this: "Elon must remain as Tesla’s CEO or serve as both Executive Chairman and Chief Product Officer, in each case with all leadership ultimately reporting to him" So it seems to be intact.

Interesting note. My brother is currently volunteering with deliveries in Toronto. Tesla has rented the same convention centre they used during the June rush in Canada where we picked up our 3s. When we picked up our cars on May 31, they were hoping to deliver ~200 cars a day in June. My brother...

My M3 is at the service center for a minor fix, but the part got delayed. The service folks gave me a brand new Mercedes GLC 300 loaner. It's been a day and I already miss my M3. The acceleration, control, response, smooth ride, and tech is just so far ahead of the other manufacturers. Once...
