The majority of owners have relatively new cars. It shouldn't shock anybody to know that a brand new car works correctly. What is more relevant is how long a Tesla will last. There simply are not enough 10 year old Teslas to know this yet, but if anyone with an older Tesla gets shouted down the...

is it ok to call people criticizing the company 'crybabies' though?

is there any point to discussing the customer service of tesla in the tesla investor forums? is that a joke? christ, no wonder its so bad, if even mentioning an area tesla is not perfect at gets this kind of reply, they are not even going to realize how bad it is. This should be an investor...

Are we really back to calling people who mention poor service 'crybabies'? This is embarrassing. It is WAY too early to be smug about Teslas long term build quality. I own a 2015 model S. An amazing car, but with terrible panel gaps, the fancy powered door-handles broke and needed replacing...

The real excitement here is the relative Y/3 production. I get the impression that the actual production cost of the Y is not really much more than the 3, but the price is way higher, and the margins thus WAY better. Once they really have casting sorted, I suspect the production cost of Y may...

Regarding federal incentives etc... two possibly underappreciated points: 1) This only applies to US customers, which are getting to be less and less of a major factor in Teslas sales. Other markets exist. Many posters here are from the US and may forget this applies to *one market* for *one...

Thats unforgiveable. Its truly worrying as an investor that customers are being treated this badly. Tesla sell every car they make...for now, but they are destroying their reputation with this lack of basic customer service.

I know a lot of people who have bought a taycan. I guess they are established porsche fans who hate tesla, or perhaps want to be different. The taycan IS a very LOOK AT ME I AM COOL car, whereas the model S looks like a jaguar. Nice... but not trying to turn heads. They do all complain that...

I went from a lexus to a model S. The interior of the lexus is unquestionably more premium feeling than the tesla, even though the s was twice the price. Tesla really could do with upping their game on the whole luxury interior front. Right now, they sell every car they can make, and its a non...

its only a matter of time before those car transporters are modified semis :D Assuming there are some routes (maybe from factory to port?) that are not perfectly suited to train transport, it might make long term sense to stick some megachargers along the route and use semi-transporters to...

lets not pretend all cell phone or tablet batteries are safe though. I went on a short helicopter trip recently and they insisted laptops be in the cabin with passengers, not safe to go in the cargo hold. We tolerate the explosion risk of laptop batteries because they are small and not...

Since march 2020, steel prices are up 215%. There is a lot of steel in a tesla. https://fortune.com/2021/07/08/steel-prices-2021-going-up-bubble/

Don't forget that the price rises in recent months may well be related to cost of materials, which have been rising all over the world. No guarantee these will lead to a rise in profits,

also re...enforced FSD. Economics will fix this. Cost to ensure car with FSD: $1,000. Cost without FSD: $20,000. Problem solved. a de-facto ban on manual car operation. Insurance companies are data focused and not interested in any war between one car company and another. The data will force the...

i am in no hurry for tesla to recognize fsd revenue. Firstly i think doing so before there is regulatory change will look dubious, but secondly its not like they *need* the money right now anyway. Why show all the competitors how profitable autonomy can be before you need to? why give more...
