I don't think this is right. :frown: If you look at the video from the left and right eyes, they are not focused in towards each other, but instead they pointing away from the center such that they together (when put side-by-side) create the full 16:9 wide image, instead of a regular-width image...

"frunk fail"? :)

GENIUS! It's working for me too!

Because I was a high school and college student the last 6 years on these forums, I didn't have any cash or opportunity to invest when the IPO happened. I noticed the news today right at 4 EST and managed to fire off a buy after-hours at $22.79, which I'm pretty pleased about. I'm in this for...

The alpha that was shown in the video released a few weeks ago was assembled in a week by only a few engineers. It was very rushed and, as the engineer I talked to explained it, "does not have the sexiness" of the final Model S. When the betas are shown soon, I think this will be more apparent.

The main reason Tesla abandoned the two-speed for the Roadster was that the shift performance was not good enough. The car would go 0-60 in just a few seconds, then you'd have to pause for an entire second while the motor spun down from 11,000 to 1,000 RPM. There is a tremendous amount of...

Hey All, I'm a student at the University of Michigan. We just had a trio of Tesla employees give a talk to students right before our career fair. They had a lot of information, and I asked a few pointed questions at the end, so here's a rough summary of what was discussed: TIME - NOTE 11:55...

Hi Everybody! I'm a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and we just had a trio of Tesla employees come visit to recruit new graduates. During the question-and-answer session, I asked if the nose of the final Model S was going to stay as that black plastic, and their emphatic...

Are we referring to the same car? Dark green exterior, light brown seats?

Speaking of the guy (one page back) who bought the one in NYC... I was just there about four weeks ago and saw the Roadster for my very first time (in person, dark green, VIN 281), and the sales manager told me that it was incredibly difficult to get the car in the showroom with two forklifts...
