This game won't be over till Tesla falls into bankruptcy and some, with righteous indignation, will claim that they've done consumers a favor.

This just pisses me off more and more, the people that were happy until they read this set of threads. Are you kidding me? So you had an incredible car right up until someone told you you didn't? Did your car slow down last night? And the the drum beaters, hell bent on fomenting this...

The core of this entire issue is that Tesla produced HP numbers in the first place. They need to go Apple on it. Apple lost heavy ground when they tried to go toe-to-toe with other processors and shifted to the Motorola chip. It's apples to oranges and, in fact, is both meaningless and silly...

Blood in the water. How proud you all must be.

Unfortunately, Exactly.

Another interesting thought along that line is that a tweak was applied, but it's protomatter (ancient Star Trek ref). It works in a controlled environment but can't, perhaps for safety or car health, be released at this time. Could've been put in the MT car without them even knowing it. Of...

I don't have a P, eclipxe - are you saying that you definitely feel the difference, at all speeds up to 80? I had read, and was under the impression that the P was not really worth it, that the 85D, bang-for-buckwise, was good enough. Opinion?

There's a gentleman here in AZ (met him at a Tesla Enthusiasts event) that does it all the time. I don't know the details of your connector, but like Kandiru said, buy all the adapters if your concerned and you'll have a great kit for when on the road. I have all of them including CHAdeMO and...

Appreciated. In my experience, companies are rarely smart enough to actually orchestrate such a thing, and keeping that quiet would be even tougher. As has been stated by you and others, the more likely scenario is either screw up or caught with pants down. None of this, of course, excuses the...

You don't need to, you're in the thread. Fair, although I've not looked at the threads to see if there is any more to the story. If it's akin to this debate, then there are more angles than what is being presented here. MT disagrees. And the number of customers worrying would probably be less...

I would agree, if they actually had a plan to solve the infrastructure problem. Putting chargers at dealerships is hardly a plan - everyone I talk to about EV asks the same question about range, anxiety and "what do you do if you get stuck?" There's only one company out there that has...

In fairness, Tesla doesn't disappoint customers before delivering. You, and several extremely vocal people have created much more disappointment and kerfuffle than perhaps would be out there. That statement is a broad brush and reflects your position as if it's a truism for all customers...

Spot on, Petra. I believe that people completely miss the real Killer App of the Tesla: the SCs. Tesla brilliantly noted that adoption of a (relatively) new paradigm will take an infrastructure that eliminates range anxiety. Certainly, the time to charge is a downside compared to anything that...

WOW didn't know/understand that. HORRIBLE. Cheers Max thanks for the clarification.

Man, what a nasty story. Almost turns my stomach, seeing such a beautiful car that way (one of ours is black as well, so it hits too close to home) I guess I'm confused about one thing - even if they did damage the fenders during towing, wouldn't that then also get covered? I mean, the car is...
