According to the Schwab web site: "In general, the option holder has until 4:30 p.m. CT on expiration day to exercise the contract. These times are set by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), the central clearing house for the options market. But some brokerage firms might have an earlier...

Tesla found the following issues: "VCFRONT_a249_coolantValveBadMode, DIR_a202_excessHeatUnavailable, DIR_a126_limpMode,DIR_a103_lowFlow. They drained the cooling system and evacuated the air conditioning system. They replaced the Super-Bottle, vacuum filled the cooling system and charged the...

Given that it is a 2020 model with only 17,200 miles I can't see how it wouldn't be covered by warranty. At least I hope so.

I have a visit scheduled with the Des Moines service center this coming Monday, November 1st. I'll report back on the results of that visit.

Last Monday (Oct. 12th, 2022) we were about 30 minutes away from the Dayton, OH Supercharger on the second leg of our trip from Maryland to Iowa on I70. The car started slowing down and a message displayed saying speed limited to 54 mph but that it was safe to continue to drive. Also, at this...

I am a Fanboy! That being said I found V11 painful to behold. Previous versions were not perfect but V11 was a down grade for me. In general the designers of V11 need training in Human Factors Engineering. It is an engineering discipline that is based on principles of human physiology and...

One other thing about putting off supply of parts to SCs in favor of production is that with Tesla's rate of change the resources for producing legacy parts may disappear. On the other hand, I live in a rural SE Iowa town of ~10,000. At last count there were at least 15 Tesla's here including S...

M3 LD DM FSD. Similar issue after first long distance road trip. Traveled from Iowa to Maryland over three days with 7 charges at Superchargers above 90%. Car software version is 2021.32.22. I’ve used both the in car and app controls for adjusting the charge limit. I just noticed today that...

Thank you for the update. The marks on the grass look fairly dated. Recent marks would be bright orange, yellow and blue depending on the service being marked. There also would probably be flags that have now been removed by lawn mowers.

I'm in Fairfield, Iowa about 23 miles west of Mount Pleasant. We own an M3 LR and before COVID had planned a trip to St. Louis to check out the service center there. At 215 miles it should be no problem for us on a full charge. Hearing that SCs are planned for both Mount Pleasant and Hannibal...

So well written! Our M3 stays in Chill except for demo launches from the bypass on-ramp up to the speed limit. My wife is just as bad as I am when some kid needs to demonstrate their vehicular superiority. Followed a very late model Corvette out of a restaurant parking lot on Saturday. He was...

Also makes more batteries available for solar storage.

The overwhelmingly positive response when we tell people that we have purchased a Tesla. The other day I met an old acquaintance in the grocery store. We were catching up on what we had been doing and it turned out that we were both retired. He asked me what I was doing in my retirement and I...

I found this Tesla Model 3 Road Trip Experience AWD video by Undecided with Matt Ferrell useful:

Futureproof is the exact reason. I'm hoping we get my wife one so that we are both off the gas. A friend of mine picked up his Performance M3 in Chicago on 12/22. I've been away since then and haven't been able to hit him up for a test ride yet. I'm sure it will happen soon though.
