    Devaluation of HW1?

    I purchased an inventory HW1 MS in 9/2016. The sharp discounts seen at that time were a clear indication that the new hardware was about to be rolled out. So I made the conscious decision not to pass up the savings. While I do believe that HW2 will surpass HW1 relatively soon, I don't regret...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW1

    I just finished a trip through the Blue Ridge Mtns on I-81 and I-77. AP (HW1) was very unstable on steeper hills and seemed to veer too close to trucks positioned adjacent to my car. Very unsettling to the point that I disengaged autosteer and switched to TACC only on the hills. This is...

    Have some of us been cheated by the Tesla sales experience?

    I agree that the sales showroom staff have very little knowledge reagrding the upgrade timelines. It is what it is. I have to admit, I initially felt the same way CarSam does when I heard the announcement fro the hardware upgrade. I placed a deposit for an inventory car at the end of...

    Elon: No Discounts !

    Well put Canuck. I understand the sting of those who narrowly missed out on a discount, but this was a limited time offer intended to boost sales for this particular quarter. I don't see it as a question of integrity. I would still rather deal with Tesla than any other dealership model...

    Canceling order due to autopilot death news?

    Agree completely. Has anyone pointed out how many accidents AP has prevented? It will be interesting to see the overall fatality statistics a few years from now. I expect the comparison to # of miles driven without this type of assisted technology will be favorable.

    North Carolina denied Tesla a license to sell in Charlotte

    If I'm not mistaken, the car can still be delivered to the Charlotte Service Center. The issue is that the employees cannot accept reservations and payment at that location.
