    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Can we please stop with the Tesla/Musk "likeability/favorability/popularity" affects Tesla purchasing debate already? First and foremost, we've beaten that dead horse to death 100x over. Second, it's not an issue. End of subject. We've gone into the depths of idiocracy relating his political...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I gave a disagree because your post is one of the more unsound, anecdotal, and speculative arguments I've heard on TMC in some time. What I gathered from your post is the following: Tesla may not be able to produce the Cybertruck as previously promised because: (1) Its been a really long time...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Yes, I tried to have a civil discussion with a mod last night and found his reply to be downright rude, condescending, and borderline threatening. So, the "can't you people read" tone is unsurprising. I think the censorship on TMC has taken a turn for the worse and the community will suffer...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Quick question for those more knowledgeable. As the fleet grows substantially and higher levels of self driving are reached where human driver needs only intervene when FSD is stumped, once one human driver intervenes and shows how to handle weird corner cases, could this trouble spot be flagged...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Tesla could roll out the Tesla Network rideshare app, with a Test-drive Request option. Owners could sign up to be rideshare drivers and/or test-drive agents/ambassadors if they so choose. Owners would get paid higher per-mile rates for giving test-drives vs rides and Tesla could consider these...

    Tesla Updated Software Kernel? Could tie into HW3 update and/or Apple or some other partnership. Just throwing a wild guess out into the mix.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    "Gaming" the map area made me think..... As Tesla improves highway Navigate on Autopilot, given the close proximity of most superchargers to freeways, Tesla could prioritize mapping in great detail the small areas surrounding Superchargers to enable Supercharger stops as part of highway...

    Customer Service is Dead

    Unless I've missed something, why would you need a service appointment for a firmware update? Is this for the uncorked update? And it sounds like they lived up to their promises of a "loaner" vehicle. Sure, it wasn't a Tesla, but it doesn't sound a "loaner Tesla" was promised. I suppose posting...

    Extended warranty denied because I did not do the scheduled inspections

    @joer00 Did you do any of the scheduled maintenance? If so, how many and at what mileage/years of ownership?

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    If it wasn't rash and hastily put together, then why was the language of the official Tesla post modified, via tweet I might add (and not even the Tesla account, but the CEO's account), within hours of releasing the policy? I also disagree that most of my bullet point list is very complex. Ten...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    Covered this in my previous post. To rehash, if a maximum of 5 minutes grace is required then Tesla has a supply problem, the owner is not the problem. The three-hour parking cap would be primarily to stop overnight or multi-day parking. Perhaps this could be a shorter window, such as two hours...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    My biggest issue with this whole announcement is that once again it seems like a rash, reactive, hastily put together, and poorly thought through policy by Tesla. While I'm glad they listen to customers and modify their policies as appropriate, why were scenarios such as deserted superchargers...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    I feel you are missing the point. For example, you may be fully aware that your charge will take about 30 minutes. You walk ten minutes to grab dinner. You barely have time to order before you have to walk back to you car, which sits alone next to 7 empty stalls. This completely goes against the...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    No, because you would then get charged since it filled up to over 50%. Could even easily have a notification in the app that tells you chargers have become mostly full and you need to unplug or you will be charged money. The parking issue isn't a problem for most of the SC locations across the...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    While I support the idea, I think it could be implemented with more flexibility. For instance, the fee should only be invoked if a SC site is at least, say, 50% occupied. This will be frustrating in SC's where there are currently very rarely more than one Tesla and you're having dinner far from...
