    No Loaners at Tesla Service "Bring back the LOANER CARS!!!!"

    And they do. So many new Tesla owners now especially where I live, It's very common to see a Tesla on the road here. Luckily for me I've always had a (Tesla) loaner but a friend of mine who just took his P3D for a warranty service was loaned... wait for it... a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid from...

    Model 3 stinks ....

    Well, mine literally stinks, as in HVAC blows stinky air - I've had air filers replaced and kept the car extremely clean... no one in my household wants to ride in it now because once the ac blows air, stinky air fills the interior and quite honestly very off putting and I dread riding in it...

    A Tesla Nerd's Road Trip

    Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. We're planning a roadtrip to Grand Rapids, MI in a few months - from Sunny SoCal. Anyone have any further tips?

    Thinking about joining legal action on recent massive price cut

    Agree. Also LTE service and other EAP features not available on the current AP offering. I have Summon and Navigate on Autopilot which the current AP offering does not have unless you get the FSD package. I also have premium audio and lifetime LTE service all of which will cost extra now. So...

    Supercharging Nightmare Begins

    Just like you, there are many other Tesla Owners (Model S, X and 3) who have no other means of charging fast enough to get to their desired state of charge. This should not be viewed as a negative - these superchargers are not reserved to Model X or Model S, the last time I checked. I have...

    PSA: Check your signature lights if it's not working

    Just noticed it on mint today as I was following a shiny new truck in front of me. I thought I was just not seeing it at a correct angle but as soon as I was parked safely, I turned off the headlights and just kept the Daytime Running Lights on and sure enough, one of the signature LEDs were...

    Model 3 J1772 Unlock Issue

    Help! My issue is a bit different. My adapter keeps getting stuck on a VOLTA handle - 3x it has happened in the last 2 weeks on 3 different VOLTA stations. VOLTA customer support says their handles have been updated but it should not have issues with a Tesla adapter - I find it odd that it...

    Good day to have a Tesla

    While this maybe true, it is not as easy (or as cheap) with other cars. I still have ICE cars ( which will soon be removed from our garage permanently) and they have "remote start" and "remote AC controls" but I have to pay an annual fee on each of them to the tune of $350/each and the fact...

    Light patch on paint just showed up today!

    I noticed a few small paint issues on mine too. I was contacted by Tesla Service when I e-mailed them about it. My car's been on the shop now for over a week and have not heard a pip from my service advisor. On the flip side, I am driving a Model S 85 as a loaner - this thing's pretty sweet...

    Red not the best color for Model 3?

    I agree with the Aero wheels. At first I picked the Aeros because I was intending to upgrade to an aftermarket turbine wheels, then when I took delivery and saw it in person, I was sold that it was the perfect match to the "Tesla Red" paint. I'm still grinning ear-to-ear at how beautiful the...

    Blog Tesla Competition: Culture Eats Strategy!

    If we look at earnings and figures alone, then it looks like TESLA IS doomed - however, Elon also did well buying these factories from GM and Toyota when the economy was down and the car market crashed so it will be very hard for another startup EV company to replicate Tesla's success in...

    Red not the best color for Model 3?

    I picked up mine at the Marina Del Rey delivery center too - and that day I was one of 3 reds in an ocean of grey and whites. The red with the Aero wheels for me - a personal preference - is the best combo. The red stands out yet not overwhelming since there's not much painted area and it...

    Blog Tesla Competition: Culture Eats Strategy!

    Totally Agree! . Tesla developed and created their supercharger network to ensure that every Tesla vehicle can travel the distance that any ICE vehicle can cover in a fairly decent waiting time (1hr at most for "topping off" a 310mi range) - all this without much fanfare and Supercharging...

    A day with the Model 3; got 227 wh/mi

    I love the screen on the Model3 - something I thought I'd have an issue with, but it turned out to be just fine. However on a recent hot day (here in Los Angeles) my screen froze - can't access any icons nor swipe... the bottom part of the screen where the fixed "apps" are felt a bit hot to the...
