Just because it is cheaper to make, does not mean Tesla is required to lower the price... That said, the cheaper it is for Tesla to make a vehicle, the easier it is to adjust the price to keep demand high while fending off competitors and keeping market share.

People have been commenting 3 minutes (when you factor in a 8x speedup on the video speed as noted in the video)

Btw. The latest drone video of the giga-press area in Freemont shows stacks of two different large castings. I would hazard a guess that we are now looking at both front and rear single piece Model Y castings. Visible around 4:30

95% hmmmm.... wonder if the OP's car decided the batteries needed balancing. 95% is the battery balancing magic number.

I would have skipped Del Taco. I've found during cold weather, when you get that low if you stop, shutdown, upon return your remaining range drops further.

If it was me, I would tweet the photo at Elon. Might be the fasted way to get it fixed.

What I really wish these apps had was a list of all SC's along the route and distances to each. That way you could just glance at a table and adjust on the fly. That's what I do on long trips (more than one or two SC's). Tabulate the SC's on a notepad and adjust on fly.

73z, Your food options drop off exponentially the further outside of the 495 loop you live. Sterling has a Dunking Donuts, a Mexican place, Sandwich shop, and three marginal Pizza places with even worse wings. Now rumor has it that the local petting zoo just opened a BBQ place. Guess times are...

Coolmanfever, I just buy packets of those really cheap knit gloves for kids. They stretch to fit most adults. No worries if one goes missing. Thin enough not to interfere with driving. Mostly wear them on cold days walking the dog, only wear bulky winter gloves when actually seriously cold out.

So I started the day with at 70% SOC and a cold soaked battery. After two trips to UMass in Worcester, two additional trips to Walmart up in Leominster, and a final trip to Domino's it still has 42 miles of range.The only thing that needed filling was the wiper fluid. Was mostly in the car...

Keep mine in the center console. Toss it on the dash when it is needed.

Am I the only one that tosses my jacket in the backseat before getting in the car to drive? No, I don't preheat. Before leaving I might bump up the charge level on really cold mornings. Otherwise, why waste the electrons.

Once had a pan handler hit me up for cash. Another time watched a lunar eclipse while supercharging. The roof tinting was a bit too much and froze in the parking lot instead.

I waited in line March 31st, 2016 and had to resort to ebay for my diecast.

Last time I was in a service center, they stuck the car on a super charger. Imagine my surprise when I get a notice about idle fees while waiting for them to finish with the car.... Waived, only because it was my first offence.
