Chargepoint's EV clients are people who pay them money. "Terrible" is trolling a company on the internet simply because it will not give you something for free.

The problem is that many are afraid that their ICE world is going away, especially in oil-based places such as Texas. As I'm sure you've read, Teslas have very good quality overall. The delivery issue will be known at the time you order the car. Therefore, there is no problem.

At least in my experience, not as "bad" as driving a BMW 5 series or other high-end ICE. With the BMW, I just had the occasional "stigma" of dropping a lot on my car. With the Tesla, the cool/save-the-world aspect mitigates the money issues. Some people still think of you as the rich guy, but...

If you think of it as a car, I would sell it in a heartbeat (and I've enjoyed owning 5 BMWs over the years). On long trips we have chosen to Supercharge the Tesla rather than take our Audi every time. If you think of it as a really expensive high maintenance toy, and you don't mind the cost...

Whoa--let's not get too excited here. One of the terrible things about our political system is that if you want a politician's attention to your cause, you need to donate. Musk needs their attention desperately for both Tesla and SpaceX, so it does not surprise me that he is a large donor to...

I agree that Tesla's strategies and business performance are fascinating and important. This is different than the investment discussions, but I think the two of us are close enough. Cheers!:)

I think that they are a superficial distraction. For example--investors care deeply about the speed of the Model 3 ramp up, and have moaned endlessly about missed deadlines. This is understandable because they're driven by daily stock prices. But when we put those deadlines and delays in the...

As a professional investor and Tesla owner, I have to say that I have ZERO interest in investment discussions on this board. This is the Tesla MOTORS Club. I'd prefer the Tesla INVESTORS Club meet elsewhere.

You should only accept an answer from the licensed electrician who (presumably) installed your charger

Sorry to see folks terminated, but let's hope they are changing their solar management. I tried to buy my solar from Tesla (twice), but the local competitors ran circles around them.

Yes! This is EXACTLY my point--what kind of world do we live in when 300HP for the average Navigator driver is not plenty? Ford should have delivered the 2018 model with 300HP and, say, 26 MPG. Instead, they made our trips to the mall even more over the top excessive.

Yes, you're right. My response was rash, and for that I apologize. To the point though--Navigators and the like are kind of symbolic of why we're in the environmental mess we are in. None of us are perfect with respect to carbon footprint, but there are probably a dozen excellent vehicles...

One of the worst? I've never been able to speak with tech folks from BMW, Audi, Honda, Toyota, etc with a simple phone call. Let's skip the histrionics

Navigator? I guess you didn't care that much about the environment after all...

5 consecutive BMWs. But the big difference is not the repairs, it's the maintenance. Toyotas and (most) BMWs would have required 3 to 5 oil changes over 25K miles.
