I could possibly be interested, but I would want to understand more about it. I have been away from this forum for years, and do not monitor it regularly.

That is pretty cool. I wish they would have train car ferries here which would do that. I would love to drive to San Jose, put my car on the train, and have it charged and ready to go when we get to L.A.

There are other options besides Star Shield, btw. Having some sort of paint protection is definitely a must - but one drawback to the Tesla factory one is that the cut outs never cover the entire panel. So the edge of the coating is visible, and attracts gunk like wax. This means if you car...

Have we heard officially that the number of Roadsters has surpassed that of the EV1 leases, yet? It probably has happened, but I have not heard an official number recently.

Interesting to hear his point of view on this. With needing to pay $170,000+ per month in legal fees it shows I obviously should have become a lawyer instead.

Yes, it will be curious as to where Tesla batteries go from here. 18650 batteries have far far more competition and volume which keep the price relatively low. Larger formats could be more efficient from a space and weight point of view - but at a high cost. Assuming Tesla would keep...

I like this new page! Especially the new graph: I wish they would have included the Volt in here as well.

This was a good interview. I thought he handled himself very well. Didn't like the commercial interruptions, but *shrug*

Yeah... last I heard I was still the owner with the most milage: around 30,000 miles No significant difference in battery that I can tell at this point.

Maybe it was just so quiet you were hearing the car in front or behind it :-)

Make sure you let Tesla know this. They do listen to their customers and potential customers. I am sure many of their decisions on where to open stores had to do with where existing Roadster owners are. Let them know where you are and convince people in your region to become customers as...

The SLS looks very nice. It would be good if they could increase the range a bit, it is sad that 2013 Mercedes doesn't come close to the 2008 Roadster. Especially since they now have Tesla technology at their disposal.

Well the Fisker certainly had some sort of engine in it for its day at Laguna Seca. But I can believe it may not have been the final drive train. Any more than the sample Model S's final drive train was used for that debut.

Based on the numbers given by Motortrend, Elon does play it fast and loose with the "Faster than a Ferrari" tag line... but what I want to know is: How fast and loose does he play with the Tesla numbers themselves? Has the 3.7s number ever been independently verified? What about the 3.9s...
