Adding another data point.. I just bought the universal Autel sensors, and the TS408 programmer ($125), and was able to easily update the programmer via USB on Windows 10. I'm about to bring them to Discount Tire to get installed, mounted, and balanced and will see how it goes. They said...

I have a set of four Model 3 stock 18" tires -- Michelin Primacy MXM4 TO with 2,000 miles on them (switched wheel size), size 235 45R18. Excellent condition. $800 firm. I'm in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area and could deliver if needed. These are $278 at TireRack new...

Man, I wish you offered these in 18"... by far my favorite, but will need to look at other options I guess.

Sounds like a lot of data with no analysis. I'm surprised I didn't find "a majority of lane-splitters were X color". Follow me here: lane-splitting riders were less likely to have been using alcohol, more likely to wear full-face helmet, and driving at slower speeds... and they had less...

Allegacy is limiting the loan amount to 90% of MSRP only for Teslas... so that was me bringing $8K more of a down payment than the $3500 already given to Tesla. No thanks -- false advertising on their site since it says 110% of MSRP with no other restrictions on their website. I'm not dealing...

Yes, we do understand -- that there are less downsides than a secured loan. Not sure what you're concerned about with it...

I applied, donated the $10, and said $5 minimum and was included as well. I used my credit card to fund -- just looked at my CC activity and there's a pending charge for $5. I've never seen a member number yet.. only an email from them that said I'm now approved (I'm assuming it was the...

Where did you see that? Their join page has the normal local / business limitations. Edit: I see that on the application page. I'm assuming that they ask for verification of membership to some organizations or employee of approved businesses after you apply.

Agree with others that this needs to be a Wiki. It will be 100x more contributed to and valuable (without exaggeration).

I'm referring to no "charging up" though... arrive somewhere with no charging station, and it just stays lukewarm throughout the day. The corollary question is whether you can keep it warm enough to have immediate regen upon departure, and if so, what temp that is.

Non-Tesla owner (yet).. is it possible for short periods (say <24 hrs) to keep the battery warm, and the cabin at a reasonable temp (40F) in the very cold (below 0F) using just the battery? I don't mind losing the range.. I'm talking about for a normal commute during the day at work.

That's not what Ben saw on his reservation page here (start around 4:30): I have the same question as the OP based on that video.

If I start to say anything about Tesla, my 7-yr old daughter immediately pipes up, "uh oh, it's Tesla time!" like I'm the host of a cable news show.

I hate to say it, but these features are useful for about 1% of truck buyers. Those buyers typically mod their truck like crazy. Most American truck buyers (sadly) are asphalt rangers.. load up the couch or some lumber in the back. Even the commercial / fleet side doesn't need pretty much...

My wishlist is simple: 4-wheel steer, like my Quadrasteer Yukon XL. Once you backup a big trailer through an S-curve of obstacles on a street and get into places you could never get to, be able to U-turn in a residential street, and pull into a parking lot space easier than a car, you don't go...
