I hope we see it stay at current pricing with significantly improvement in capabilities. A recent European price increase might be indicative of a $5-6k increase for U.S. buyers. This could be well worth the added expense depending on improvements. I'd like to see a 435+ mi range, return of the...

I hear ya. Although their cameras seem to be pretty reliable. Now if we can just get them to improve their MCU reliability. While I wouldn't burn $27 in the street, I'm buying an almost $100k car, so the cost savings is not my primary concern. I'm much more interested in increasing maximum...

Despite my post, I'm actually most interested in functionality over form. So if it has some incredible range and or charging speed improvements, even if it just looks like the suspected test mule above. I'll probably be buying end of this year once all the bugs are worked out. Almost at 200...

Fair enough. I would like side view cameras.... and I'm not alone. "Some estimates say that by just getting rid of side mirrors, aerodynamics could improve as much as 5% overall." Tesla Wants To Eliminate Side Mirrors

Boooooring!... ;-)This body styling has for the most part been in production since 2012 and is getting a bit stale. I mean I still like the current S and think it's a good looking car, but I sure hoped for something that looked a bit more exciting like some of the renderings. Hopefully this is...

Do you ever read Elon's tweets? Elon is obsessed with profitability. What else is constraining them? Tesla is hugely valuable and now worth more than the next EIGHT largest auto companies combined. Toyota + VW + BYD + NIO + Daimler + GM + BMW + Ferrari = $738 Billion Tesla (just Tesla) = $774...

Some of us are not "tourists" and need to go through the 4 corners region to run businesses and to provide healthcare. Others would like to drive between Flagstaff and SW Colorado in a relatively straight line, instead of adding 54 miles each way . We currently have to take a very indirect...

The removal of Kayenta from the map without a suitable replacement is disappointing! I bought my S in 2017 with Tesla's commitment for a SC in (or near) Kayenta. We love the Navajo lands and SW Colorado. We've tried to be patient, but not only have they not built a SC here for 3+ years after...

The more kW the better, but if the additional SC’s are providing 72kW it would be an improvement here. Previously just 4 V2 SC’s and often very low kW... Tesla Roadside Assistance claimed the low kW was a known issue with the electrical provider’s capacity to this site. I hope to see 8 or more...

Now showing 8 SC’s at Gallup! Any reports what max KW people are seeing on the new chargers?

For anyone doing the trip, disregard my previous advice to drive from Phoenix to Telluride via Blanding. While this routing does makes sense when starting in Flagstaff (as I usually do), if starting in Phoenix, the Payson - Gallup route is probably better. If doing the Gallup-Telluride and you...

Your Tesla nav estimate can easily be off by 10% due to headwinds, extreme cold or precipitation, even more so if you use cabin heat. Here are some good efficiency techniques you can use (incase you don’t already know these): 1) Drive 5mph slower than posted speed. 2) Dress warm and minimize...

If you do go to Telluride via Blanding and it requires significant L2/campground charging then on your return trip to PHX do consider going via Farmington and Gallup. The return from Blanding - Flagstaff uses a bit more energy due to much more uphill into Flag and you’re often going against the...

If it were me I’d skip NM and go via Blanding. There are plenty of campgrounds and L2 along that route (*Tuba City*, Kayenta, and Bluff, have a look at the Plug Share app).The extra time these will take, if you even need them, are probably equal or less to the time you’ll spend going to...

Consider traveling via Blanding if you can make it from Flagstaff. The Gallup SC I can be very slow. According to Tesla it’s a problem with the energy supply so out of their hands.
