If you haven't yet taken a road trip with the Tesla, do it!! You'll love it or you'll hate it, but either way, you'll know. Personally I love it. Sure, you are constrained to stop at places with Superchargers but I don't find that particularly inconvenient. As far as the "fun factor" it's no...

100% agree with the idea of "rent it for a month as a party trick." After renting it for a month I have no FOMO. I may rent it again in a year just to see what's changed.

My experience with a flat was bad. I used the Tesla app to seek roadside assistance. But despite being in a densely populated urban area, I had to wait 90 minutes for a tow truck (to be fair, Tesla paid for the tow truck.) I had to take an Uber to my house while my car was towed to a Tesla...

It's a year later and... is this still broken for everyone else? It is for me...

As much as I like your idea, buying enough battery capacity to cut the cord is cost prohibitive. I'd need at least 3, maybe 4. Last I looked they are $8K each. In approximate numbers, it would take me 12 years of electricity bills before to recoup a $24K upfront investment. Oh, and that...

Thanks for the tip to check Plugshare. I have that app but didn't think to use it; I got focused on making the EVGO app work. It appears other people had a bad experience with this location communicated it via plugshare. My bad for failing to look :( I'll make a point to give feedback when I...

Wow, lots of conversation. I didn't anticipate that this topic would evoke so many and various responses. To recap, my "discovery" (which apparently several of you already knew) was that any adjustment using the thumbwheels will satisfy autopilot's requirement to keep your hands on the steering...

Gotta share this experience and I hope it makes you smile. I'm a charge-at-home guy so seldom have to use public charging facilities. Wife and I decided to drive about to the outlet mall about 120 miles away to do some early Christmas shopping. I noted that the mall had an electric charging...

When using autopilot, I have been mildly annoyed with the "apply slight turning pressure to the steering wheel" message. Too much pressure and autopilot disengages. Too little and the message persists. Completely by accident, I used the right thumbwheel to change the set-speed just a...

Sorry for the OP - you made a difficult choice but a good one. What I'm most pleased about is the tone of this discussion. 18-24 months ago anybody who criticized build quality or shared a similar experience on this forum would have been accused of having a short position in TSLA stock and...

There *IS* a serious question about how we pay for highway maintenance. Today it's through gas taxes. And that makes sense. The more you drive the more you pay. And except for lawn-mowers and mobile generators, gasoline consumption translates directly into road use. But imagine a world with a...

So sorry for the damage suffered. I live in Huntington Beach and drive a M3 also, so the picture of the damaged bumper with the intact bumper sticker hit me extra hard. I hope to see you back on the road very soon!

If I were in the UK I'd come with ya! See my post later in this thread and/or elsewhere on this site for a check list. I believe in you; you can do it yourself!

I also had a good delivery experience and LOVE driving the car. But I don't think it's a matter of putting "weight on either end of the teeter". I've referred friends BUT I've also advised them to avoid getting caught up in the excitement and go through an exhaustive check list before...
