Walked out of my local Costco to be confronted by this minor emergency. And my Model 3 is sitting in a pool of water. Using Summons I was able to back it out about 15 feet to shallower water and I was able to wade over in ankle deep water and get in. This would've been a great use case...

Thanks for the replies everyone. It appears I have overreacted to the news based on the mistaken assumption that all those Zoe’s would have put Renault in a better position to benefit FCA - but apparently not quite enough. This is one time I am glad to get all those ‘disagrees’.

Looks like Tesla may not be able to count on income from the FCA/Tesla EV agreement. Fiat Chrysler and Renault are in advanced talks to merge the automakers Fiat Chrysler and Renault are in advanced talks to merge the automakers

I have driven to Santa Fe via Albuquerque several times summer and winter in my last 2 Model S's. Taking 10 to Phoenix then Flagstaff to Albuquerque has been an easy drive with plenty of Superchargers on the way. Bypass downtown Phoenix traffic by taking 101 north then linking back into 17 on...

I think Tesla's lease plan for the Model 3's answers that. Tesla will reclaim those Model 3's at the end of the program for reassignment to the Robotaxi fleet.

Just returned my 85D, leased early 2016 - original 100% range at 274 miles is now 269 miles after ~29,500 miles driven. 2% degradation. Supercharged ~50% of miles, rest with 14-50 10 kwH at home. Charging range 20-80% except when driving on trips between SC's.

Duh! I missed that check box for extended range... it was in the same position as Ludicrous mode and I missed in the Standard model page. Never mind :oops:

Well then its clear that the cover page is still showing 335 miles range was for the 100D - and that is the mistake. I didn't include the images for the other two variations of the current Model S. The standard Model S has 310 miles range, and the Performance Model S has 315 miles - same as if...

So the 335 miles range is a TYPO then?

Checking on the Tesla website today, the only reference to the Model S range of 335 miles is on the face page. But going further into the configuration pages - the range for the Model Performance with/without Ludicrous mode now has been reduced to 315 miles. The standard range of Model S...

No need to worry. The superchargers located at the Town Square are only about 6 miles away from South Vegas Valley. Just drop by, plug in, walk over to one of the restaurants/stores or relax and spend some time reading/surfing the net/watching videos in your air conditioned Tesla. If you...

Thanks CaBlue, Gavyne. Sorry for the late reply. I was a bit occupied with my new "Little Red Rover" :) SoCalGuy - "Little Red Rover" is red/white with Aero 18"s.

I am a 2 time Model S owner and a 1st day in-store Model 3 reservation holder. I held back ordering the Model 3 because the current Model S lease runs out in 2019 and was waiting for the AWD version. Then wife decided to replace her BMW (4 series) with the Model 3 (yeah!). Since 2018 is drawing...

Video segment in the link says it was a bicyclist injured. Subsequent news reports it was a pedestrian - and a fatality unfortunately. Uber is stopping self-driving car tests in all cities after fatal accident
