    Tesla branded tire repair kit?

    I'm in the Los Angeles / San Gabriel Valley area and would recommend a patch if you have a slow leak, especially if the nail or screw is in the surface of a tire with a good amount of life left. Sealants and other generic repair kits don't do a very good job, especially if you don't have the...

    Hi, I’m a short seller

    I challenge the shorts to justify to their grandkids the reason to short a company like Tesla. There are many other companies to short in the stock market. But why Tesla? Why do you want Tesla to fail? Is making a few dollars all that matters? Should our aspirations to an self-sustaining world...

    Model X Crash on US-101 (Mountain View, CA)

    while any fatality is tragic, this driver may have turned off those warnings. i hate all beeps, bells and chimes on my teslas and generally turn them off. some objects can appear faster than the brakes can be applied. what's salient here is that aeb, abs, or your air bags do not prevent car...

    Let Tesla know what features or tech the Roadster should have to make it even more awesome?

    track credibility is very important. if i were elon, i'd hire randy probst, chris harris and Walter Röhrl to help tune the suspension. sub 7 minute ring times are crucial too. tires, battery cooling and even braking are also huge concerns for me. i'd also need some sort of automatic fire...

    Tesla to Inject Capital Into Model Y SUV Program, Will Leverage Learnings From Model 3

    From a cost standpoint, falcon wind doors (FWD) should be replaced by standard doors to better compete with competitors by 2021 or 2022. Tesla's AI and supercharger network will differentiate the Y from the crowd. FWD are great for moms with toddlers. Car seats and kids are so much easier with...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    As a Porsche 911 owner, your friend probably could have benefited from a test drive or a turo rental prior to purchase. 911s are fast if you get the turbo s or gt2 variant. My S and wife's X are American hotrods. European sports cars are too fast for most crowded public streets and freeways to...

    What Exactly Happened with the Battery Assembly Automation?

    My take from Elon's explanation was the automation worked but not at the required or specified rate. Building modules at 1k per month is not the same at 10k per month. While the process can prove to work, at volume and full production speed, any one glitch can cause the entire module line to...

    New 60 can be charged to 100% daily without harming long-term battery

    I would stick to 90% for warranty's sake. Tesla has records of every time you charged to 100% and pressed the screen to ignore the warning. So if you were to ever need battery service within the 8 year time, Tesla may have the option to not cover you due to improper use. Just pay the 2k and...
