    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    So I am happy(er) to say that the Tesla service center here in Rockville appears to be listening. After taking my car in for an MCU replacement they volunteered that they had the daughterboard and could fix just the daughterboard. It took a week but they got it done and gave me a Model X P90D...

    Will Tesla ever allow battery upgrades?

    I don't think Chris meant to crash your car every time a new car comes out. Aside from being painful it would seem that insurance companies would get a little grumpy with you. I think he is saying that once that burn kicks in to upgrade most car enthusiasts will find a way to upgrade. Whilst...

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    Really disappointing turn of events with these MCU issues. My 70D blacked out last week as others are reporting. The really bad part is that Tesla support seems to consider this a "Oh, well. It happens" kind of thing. When you have a high degree of probability that 100% of the MCUs from this...

    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    I am hoping that happens for me too.

    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    Love Tesla but they need to outsource these presenpresent. Elon had to wait for slides way too often. As for CyberTruck.. this will not be a success unless they make a version that looks at all reasonable. Maybe give up on stainless steel. This would look better in all black. Anybody notice...

    Official Thread: Cybertruck (Cybrtrk) Event - Nov 21, 2019

    Is it just me or did the counter reset with 5 minutes to go? Wonder is this is going to be one of those super delayed events.

    Tesla Kills Standard-Range Model S Weeks After Introduction

    Totally my bad. This is what happens when you try to sneak in some quality TMC time during lunch break... yikes.

    Tesla Kills Standard-Range Model S Weeks After Introduction

    This article does not appear to be true. I just went through the site and got to last step in the order and the standard range is there and it is still $35,000. Where / when did you see this? -Bill

    TESLA Headed for Lack of Cash Again?

    I didn't say since the announcement. The stock went down due to a flurry of announcements from Tesla. The Model Y announcement didn't move the needle because it was exactly what everyone expected. The main concerns were Tesla's sudden maneuvers and the continued fears they are bleeding cash...

    TESLA Headed for Lack of Cash Again?

    Dude, anybody saying this is seriously delusional. The "investing community" doesn't agree with anybody on anything at any time or for any reason. They freakishly overreact to every piece of news and flip from hot to cold and back with each news headline. Luckily, I have a strange sense for...

    Navigant: GM Cruise, Waymo Lead Tesla And Others On Full Autonomy

    Navigant is silly. How many of these vehicles are actually being sold to customers? Correct me if I am wrong but it seems they are all operating in controlled fleets. Far cry from the real world.

    Model Y unveiling event 2019-03-14 (official thread)

    Hmmm... Did we go backwards? Now we are back to Stay Tuned ... Is that better than "We will begin in a moment...?"

    Long-Term Fundamentals of Tesla Motors (TSLA)

    I think the main thing you are missing in neroden's responses is twofold: a) Tesla lowering prices and accelerating delivery were intentional from day 1 and Tesla always said it would be aggressive and hard. It was. They did it though. Most people think it took too long.. you seem to feel it...

    Long-Term Fundamentals of Tesla Motors (TSLA)

    When I got my Tesla there were zero stores. I got my test drive via the service center and it was an awesome experience. The whole store concept never made sense to me. We had a stored in Tyson's Corner, VA that was just one mile from the service center. The store had nothing in it. Tesla...

    Model Y Production ‘Likely’ at Gigafactory 1

    Good hedge against California finding new ways to tax them into oblivion or adding crazy new labor laws too.
