No,wquite ite the contrary

Would love this in Germany/Europe. Would need to transfer FUSC and FSD Nice incentive to get more new cars on the road.

In Germany: The Tesla factory has a workers council (Betriebsrat). Currently the metal workers Union (IGM) is trying to get a foothold in the factory. There have been reports in the media about bad working conditions in the factory, a lot if accidents, injuries, a lot of pressure and a lot of...

There is a supercharging fair use policy. https://www.tesla.com/en_ca/legal/terms#supercharger-fair-use-policy It includes: Supercharger Fair Use To help ensure that Superchargers are available for their intended use, unless you charge on a pay per use basis, we ask that you not charge your...

An example for the need of education: Several Superchargers here in Germany are open to all EVs. But not many people know this. I made it a habit to walk up to EV owners charging at other outlets nearby and talk to them about the available to all Tesla chargers. Today I learned a poor guy was...

Yes, last month they replaced my Roadster battery with the new one after close to 3 years. Because the car stood so long, it needed a break job and new tires. Now all is well. Total invoice was 34,700 EUR plus change.

Depends completely on your strategy. This is what I do: I like to take about half the stock price for a leverage of 2. Not technically LEAPS as I don't like to commit past the year end. For example +Dec23 135 @$138 (time value about $2.60). Delta is about 98% so these behave like stocks...

Good luck - really. See you back some other time.

My personal opinion: The 2013 MS mostly had lifelong free supercharging. This is a valuable car. My own MSP is from 2014. We put in a new battery because it was slow to charge - only at the supercharger. Otherwise it is great, even after 450,000 km. This is the kind of car you hand down to...

Yes my Powerwall gives me the Server Maintenance message once in a while. Usually comes back in minutes, not hours. The past weeks it has been more frequent. But does not seem to lose any data.

Report from Germany: If you order a Model 3 now it says expect delivery Jan-Mar. But if you look at the immediately available cars (58 of them) they are offered with a price adjustment of EUR 3,000 to EUR 5,000. Inventory for Y, S and X are zero, so no price adjustments, delivery also Jan-Mar...

These are extremely good numbers: - production on track for 50 % growth YoY on average - unwinding the quarter end rush is good for cost management, people management and customers - less than 2 weeks between end of production and hand-over to customer is extremely short - impact on profit is...

Finally picked up my MS Plaid ordered 2 years ago. Car was perfect. They give us 48 hours to file any issues via the app. So it was fast in - fast out. By 1 PM delivery center was almost empty. Last delivery for today was scheduled for 2 PM. Some cars had not made it to Regensburg on time...

1 cu.ft. of water weighs about 62 pounds. Your math must be off. OTOH I am too dumb for the non-metric systems; I need to google this to check it. I guess Pepsi must be a lot heavier than water, cause of sugar. Not sure about diet Pepsi ... But I digress. Anyway: Semi can carry plenty weight.

I have two Model S Plaid on order in Germany. Yesterday the invoice was ready. The cars are to arrive at my Service Center on 12.12. with pick up to be scheduled shortly thereafter. I hope you can sympathize with how happy I am. I expect it to be a HUGE upgrade of my 2013 MS 85P. How is this...
