    Was worried about MSM color choice

    Sorry you did not get the white interior. It’s stunning. The exterior color is beautiful. Enjoy.

    Total braking system failure?

    Well, very sorry you opted to ignore the warnings provided by the car’s technology. You could indeed have crashed the car. The most important data bit you mentioned was about the 12 Volt battery. The battery is a key component of the Tesla and without it, with a faulty/failing unit, or any...

    Blog Tesla Plans Original Cars for Berlin, Shanghai Factories

    The next few years will tell but ordinarily speaking the US market for smallish vehicles is very poor. The statistics were enough for VW not to bring the ID3 to the US. The Model 3 is too small for many customers that are, or will be, choosing the Model Y. That size Tesla is hitting the right...

    I get it now.....

    Please be mindful of speed limits and for safety’s sake, there a setting to limit the max speed of the car. Far too many cars have been totaled and too many killed/injured in high speed crashes. I understand your excitement and joy of ownership of a superior technology vehicle. However, it’s...

    Tesla to Start Production of Ventilators at Fremont Factory

    OH MD, you must be aware that equipment assembly requires parts. These are either procured or created. To procure requires a lot of steps and to create requires engineering, toiling and materials. It takes time. That’s as fast as humanly possible. If anyone can create things quickly it is Tesla...

    Warning!!! Model 3 will make you immature (again)

    I urge restraint and disciplined responses. Young guys with high HP cars have a tendency to crash their old technology chassis cars, specially Ford Mustangs, drag racing and u could be held accountable. Not worth the thrill. Please consider advanced driver’s training courses to understand tire...

    Towed Teslas at SFO, after getting unplugged?

    Hi. There are two issues at CVG short term parking. First it’s the number, only 4. The second issue is there are L1 units. To charge for 8 hours yields little power to EVs and no one should unplug an EV unless the panel indicates charging is complete. For my $$, I park offsite that offers 6 or...

    Towed Teslas at SFO, after getting unplugged?

    Is this “vampire drain” a myth? I have a Nissan Leaf and have left for a 10 day trip, car unplugged at home. The range was the same. I know Tesla EVs are more complex but to drain a 75 kWh battery on let’s say 2 weeks seems impossible. What is possible is the 12 volt battery losing charge due to...

    Model 3 Dilemma

    I detect a larger issue than a car selection issue. You seem concerned as to your son’s driving safety. Sorry but all cars are inherently unsafe as engineers can only do so much. In effect, cars are engineered to pass a test. Beyond those parameter, well, there cannot be “standards.” The focus...
