Just another observation. I have new filters but they were changed by Tesla in April 2021, so more than a year ago. I also smell the sweet solvent odor, usually while it is raining, has rained, and/or high humidity. It's not too strong and often, but noticeable. I decided to experiment and...

I know it's more convenient to get it via Amazon and easier to return, but on Aliexpress, it's $190 shipped, and shipping took 14d from China to North America. So if you can wait 2 weeks, you can save $150, which I personally thought was worth it! And refunds on Aliexpress are very easy and...

Check out this thread for more info -- incl some initial data on efficiency. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6904791/

Here you go ...

I have a 2019 Model 3 and it fits these wheels perfectly. So it fits the earlier Aero wheels.

Interesting data just posted here: I am not affiliated with them at all. Just some interesting data posted as a comparison. Quick efficiency test: charge to 70%, go on highway to 70MPH for 5 miles. No hub $0.00 May need lug and cap covers, $60 Efficiency 267 Wh/mi, 65% battery left...

I have found that a lot of USA sellers are just getting their inventory from the same makers all in China, and selling at a much higher price. Going to Aliexpress cuts out this much more expensive middleman. What you gain is a large price cut. The risks would be longer shipping times and harder...

Here's a good video on these. They are pretty good. Can be gotten off of Aliexpress as was mentioned earlier. Some sellers offer free shipping, others add in shipping. But pricing regardless is around $190-200 USD or thereabouts. Not super cheap as you would expect from Aliexpress, but...

FYI ... USB audio artwork is back! On 2021.44.6 ...

I wonder what Christensen would say about Apple and the cellphone industry. To substitute his thoughts as applied to Apple... "Apple is not disrupting the phone industry, it's just making existing phones better..." Just because he's from HBS doesn't mean he's right. :) I think most would agree...

I like the minimalistic interior of the 3, so this goes in that direction. I really like it. The steering wheel is like the Cybertruck and Roadster 2. As with anything else, it can't please everybody. When the Cybertruck came out -- so many people hated it. Now, what's the verdict? Pre-orders...

On 2020.48.26, I would have liked the FSD beta graphic UI without any FSD, but I do like the new UI. It's bigger, more colors, better definition, and better placement. I don't have an external speaker, so those options aren't available, but that's no big deal to me. Overall, I can't complain...

If you are talking about FSD ... that was already discussed. Buyers should know what they are getting into and that has nothing to do with the affordability issue. So compare the SR+ with no FSD at $39.9K to an F-150 avg selling price at $47.6K. In that example, there's no such option that...

It's been said many times that Teslas are for rich folk. The lowest end Tesla is the SR+ which is $39900 USD. No other options. FSD is $10K extra so that would put it at $49K USD. That sounds expensive, yes? BUT ... the best selling vehicle in the USA is the Ford F-150. And according to Ford...

So much complaining about FSD and not getting it yet. If you knew anything about the technology and what Tesla are trying to do, then you should have known that buying this option upfront without it being available was always a RISK. Being an early adopter exposes you to such risk. Buying the...
