I would agree, up until they promise that the feature would be available specifically for my config through the release notes that appeared in my car. Once they promise it, I say they owe it and should either admit it was a mistake or fulfill the promise. I love my car and fully support Tesla's...

But... that costs money and adds to my clutter of things. If Tesla does what they promised, it doesn't cost anything or take up any additional space. Especially given that promise which I expect would eventually be fulfilled, I'd rather not buy a physical object that I would only use in an...

In the v10 release notes on my 2014 S60 without AP, it said HomeLink could be used from v3.10.0 of the app. I have that version and like many others here, the option doesn't appear in the app. I had been thinking about that feature months before I found out about it in the release notes. I...

Sales tax is the same as most everything else at 6%. So, that's $3,570 sales tax for a total of $63,070, provided the price you gave includes reservation/order fee (which goes towards the cost of the car). If Tesla somehow gets away with calling $35,000 the base price even though it's not...

I was coal rolled the same day. I doubt the truck knew he was doing it to an EV or he probably would have done it more than once while I was behind him. Here's the video: There's the south, and then there's Michigan trying to join the south. I regularly see trucks undoubtedly capable of...

Section 257.801(1)(p) of the vehicle code specifies the base registration fees and (7)-(8) specifies the EV fee. From that, here's what I calculated vs. what I actually paid: Formula for 2017+ base registration: =ROUND(ROUND(ROUND((40+6*(69-6))*0.9)*0.9)*0.9)+2.25+5.75 That's 90% the previous...

It's been a while. Here are some more videos since my last post here. This is actually a 3 year old video, but I haven't posted it here yet and only made it public last year. This was pretty much the final straw and convinced me to get winter tires. This happened on the first day of my...

Another shot of the fire behind the supercharger. [source] My brother (Model 3 reservation holder) lives about 4 miles from there and this kept him from going to sleep because of the noise and lit up sky. We weren't sure how close the fire was to the supercharger until we saw it in the live...

I was taking advantage of the Overwatch free weekend when my brother barged into Mumble (voice chat), after he said he was going to bed, to tell me it sounded like a jet outside and the sky was lit up. We got into Hangouts so he could show me and a friend what the sky looked like, and we could...

This is about as bad as it gets for a passenger vehicle. The entire car was torn to shreds and instantly engulfed in flames. They say the driver died instantly. Not easy to see the driver in the video, but you've been warned. [Russia] Old LADA explodes into a fireball after being rear-ended by a...

I noticed the permit on supercharge.info yesterday. That's the one supercharger I'm most excited about. Not that I have any intention to use it, but it would be the closest to home and in the same city as my brother. My brother has a Model 3 reservation and lives in an apartment complex near OU...

A local Chevy dealer (right next door to where my dad takes his Ford C-Max Energi for service, which I've driven him to/from) had a huge fire in its service center on Wednesday, caused by spilled gasoline and a spark from a floor scrubber. It appears the entire service section of the building...

Yeah, that is a shame. Hopefully you made it clear to them that the reason there aren't service centers here is because of a corrupt law banning direct service. Should also point out that Tesla still provides convenient and timely service in Michigan even with that limitation, thanks to their...

Any chance that's Auto Owners? Someone on reddit ran into the same issue. I have Amica and have been happy with them, though haven't had to file a claim yet, knock on wood. I have renewal coming up this month on the 18th and have bumped liability coverage from low/mid-range to the max for just...

USA - 2017 August 21 Total Solar Eclipse - Interactive Google Map - Xavier Jubier I've been using that and it's great. You can click anywhere on the map and get all the data as well as a diagram of what the eclipse would look like for that location.
