I guess there will be some time before reservation count/interest is revealed. But how do you think the Model 3 reveal itself will affect the stock price? Personally I have a feeling we will see a significant drop at the reveal, and the days after. The expectations are through the roof, and I...

I sold my P85D because it's too big and expensive for my use. I loved the performance though, and I'm not sure I'm willing to upgrade my current $3000 car for anything, unless it offers as much fun as I had in my P85D. So I'm hoping the Model 3 will come in a performance version... What do you...

The nagging makes absolutely NO sense to me. My experience, driving on very bad roads for AP, is that when I drive on straight roads with clear markings, it tends to nag more often. I usually don't get nags when driving on horrible roads, with sharp turns and no lane markings. I don't get it -...

Spare tires? Does ANY new cars come with a spare tire? It's like 10 years since most manufacturers got rid of the spare tire. Which is good, because it makes no sense at all to drive around with the extra weight, and waste of space. And do people constantly blow their tires? I've been driving...

Tesla have now basically admitted that 700HP was misleading. They have removed any HP info from the sales page, and updated their website with actual HP performance numbers. Tesla now says P85D delivers 463 HP: Model S | Tesla Motors But of course - since the car is very fast, we are not...

That's my impression as well. It makes no sense to nag me when the car is doing perfectly fine. But when it's clear that the car has major problems reading the road and drives worse than a drunk, there's no warnings at all.

Has is the keyword there. It's clear that Tesla don't care about Norway at all anymore. Norway have by far the worst coverage of Superchargers per Tesla, at least in the bigger markets. They also have by far the longest waiting times at Service centers - around 5 month for warranty repairs and...

No it does not necessarily follow the lane marker on the left side. I have attached a picture showing the car's driving in both directions in this particular road (both would likely have ended with a crash since it wouldn't be able to correct itself at that speed when it detected the right...

Could you make the trips show local date and time? It shows US time for me... Also, the page isn't really optimized for the Tesla web browser. It would be nice if the page fit perfectly in the car browser.

Blue lines - nothing indicating that it has problems reading the road. I have .77 btw. My understanding was that unlike competitors, Tesla did NOT force us to put our hands on the wheel every x minutes. And reports from USA indicated that it wasn't the case either. Could it possibly be a...

But how can it end up in an oncoming lane unless it crosses the left line? If it sees the left line, which is the root argument here, it wouldn't risk ending up crossing it. Anyway, I also think this will be fixed soon. :)

I disagree completely. It makes more sense to keep following a steady left lane it reads perfectly, than it is to actively make a change in direction, and drive off the road to the right because the right lane disappeared. However, if it was even slightly uncertain about the left lane, it would...

I was under the impression that "Hold Steering Wheel" was supposed to appear when the car was having trouble reading the road. But that does not appear to be the case. Does anyone know what triggers it, and why it won't go away before we actually "hold" the steering wheel? Is it to meet...

So far I've only tested in heavy rain in the dark, on curvy small roads. The car drove like it was drunk and would have crashed 10+ times hadn't I taken control. This is of course normal and to be expected, but I'm very surprised that Tesla even allows activation of autosteer when the car have...

Nothing childish here. FYI, websites are not static. This morning, this case was the BIG TOP article, with a smaller article about TSLA share falling next to it. Right now, there's a new article pretty high up: Google Translate BTW, Forsiden - VG is the website with most readers in Norway, by...
