Yes, all Musk companies are part of the Mars/Multi-Planet mission -- Space X for rockets, Tesla for ground vehicles, Boring Company for digging ice and shelters, Gigafactory for energy storages, etc., etc. The Cybertruck is a Mars Buggy that we can buy and drive on earth, pretty cool to me.

I hope the Tesla Cybertruck is not too long, so I could park it inside my garage for charging overnight. Not a must, but would be nice.

Ford Model Y. :)

The clones by Neuron EV. Could it be close to what the Tesla pickup looks like? https://www.carscoops.com/2019/11/neuron-evs-t-one-pickup-and-torq-semi-truck-visibly-target-tesla/

My car (Raven Long Range) just updated to 2019.36.2.1, so I decided to drive it just to feel the 'Hold' Stopping Mode (that's what I told my wife.) When entering the freeway, the moment I stepped on the pedal I could definitely feel the power increase. The acceleration was now like explosion...

My Tesla app just prompted me for 2019.36.2.1 software update (2019 Model S 'Raven' LR.) It was nice to see the Release Notes stated that my car's "power has been increased by approximately 3%, improving acceleration and performance." Don't know if I can feel the 3% power increase, yet it made...

Congrats to everyone ordering your new Tesla. I was at the Tesla Factory Tour earlier this week, I might have seen parts of your cars (motors, body panels, etc.) at the assembly lines over there. :) The factory is an amazing marvel..... It is sitting on 370+ acres, has countless robots and...

Search ‘Curb Ramp’ or ‘Curb Bridge.’ There are a few choices on the market. Not too pretty, but will do the job.

Does the Model S/X Raven 3% Power Increase apply to both Performance and Long Range?

I have been driving manual transmission cars my whole life, from Jeep Wrangler to Porsche GT3. No regret getting the Tesla, its non-stop instant torque is really something else.

I can hear Clarkson screaming somewhere... :)

It sounds crazy, but I dream about building ‘Spaceship 3-D Printing Factories’ in orbit — to manufacture much bigger size spaceships that would have been too big/heavy to launch from the ground. Use SpaceX rockets to carry raw material (e.g. filaments) to the factory in orbit, and then the...

Just one minor point to add.... when the steering turns, the camber of the front wheels change (see picture below.) The effect would be more significant on wider/larger tires, like the ones on the Tesla Model S/X. If the 'regular' driving involves a lot of steering (around city streets, curvy...

It seems the Tesla.com website now shows the Model S Long Range has a 373 miles range (3 miles more than before.)

2019 Model S 'Raven' LR. My wife and I drove the car to dinner last night, and tried out the 2019.32.12.2 with NoA. To me surprise, the car ran just fine on freeway, even with decent traffic during dinner hours. NoA was stable on freeway, and Auto Lane Change worked smoothly. Just want to...

I have a Model S Long Range (with FSD.) I took delivery of it at the end of September. The car was set for 80% Charge Limit from factory, and I haven't changed the setting since. With 80% it showed 325 miles range. Overnight it would lose 1 to 2 miles range, if I tried not to wake it up. I...

Just realized there is a Model S Photo Gallery..... 2019 Model S 'Raven' Long Range.

The dust happened on quite a few of cars that I've owned. To clean them, I wore a pair of disposable latex gloves and grabbed a disposable microfiber towel, then I just gentle wiped the dust off the wheels. Both the latex gloves and microfiber towels can be bought at Costco. Just want to share.

I got it from Tesla.com. I used the 'Email me when this item is restocked' function, and it emailed me the item was available. I probably got the very last one in stock.

When I was waiting for my car, I spent a little time to setup the Tesla Wall Charger at home. Installed a 240V 50 Amp circuit with 14-50 receptacle. Ordered the (now discontinued) 14-50 Tesla Wall Charger. All plugged-in, ready for the car to be delivered. And wait. :)

Glad you are okay, OP. I also have a 2019 Model S, thanks for sharing your story. Ironically, it says "Safety First" on the hood of the truck that hit your car...

Does anyone know who makes the battery for the Porsche Taycan? Or Volkswagen AG has its own battery factory like the Tesla Gigafactory?

Congrats! You will love it. We just got our Model S LR a few weeks ago, and it's an amazing car.

The lines at the corners looked much smoother, compared to last month. Can't wait to hear about the new lap times.

Wheel bearing? Jack up the car and check the wheel bearing.... Please see the video below.

Does anyone know if Porsche has something similar to the Tesla Autopilot/FSD on the Taycan?

Eager to hear what lap times they will run this time.

Some good points in this article.

2019 Mode S LR (Raven) with FSD -- This afternoon the car just updated to 2019.32.12.2. Since then I just drove the car around town (without freeway.) It seemed still missing the NoA icon.

Yes, I used an hair dryer to warm up the stickers, and then applied a little goo-gone to remove them. I did it slowly and gently. No problem at all.

Wow.

Took delivery on 9/26, went through a few software updates. This afternoon, it was updated to V10.0 (2019.32.12.1 641e9fa)

Just updated to 2019.32.12.1. Could not tell if there is any difference yet.

Same here -- No NoA. I did the reboot, turned on-off NoA under Autopilot screen, etc., etc. No luck so far.

Some pics here. And yes, I think White interior looks amazing with Midnight Silver Metallic.

This works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D12RPHX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I currently have a Mercedes S550e Plug-in Hybrid, and Porsche had loaned me a Panamera 4 E-Hybrid for a couple weeks. Both are with similar layout of tech -- twin-turbo V6 with a small lithium-ion battery and electric motor. Their 'real world' electric-only range are around 16-17 miles. And I...

Tiff did an acceleration test from 50mph (5:30 into the video.) They were using a Model S P100D and a Mercedes AMG GT63, yet it was interesting that..... while the Mercedes was kicking down the transmission, the Tesla accelerated with instant torque delivery.

Took delivery last week. Couldn't wait... The Model S still looks futuristic as it is.

This is our first Tesla, I really have no idea how that all worked. Probably we were lucky at the timing. The car is beautiful, and we couldn't be happier.

Just installed 2019.32.11.1. No problem. The Software Update notification on my phone said the car might lower its suspension during installation, so I guess it was handling related....?

I use this (Samsung 256GB flash dive) and it seems to work well. It is compact, won't stick out to block much space. So far so good. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D7Q41PM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Tesla also delivered our car last week by driving it to my office. It was probably due to the EoQ madness, they tried to deliver many cars asap. I was worried a little, so when the driver called I asked him please be careful driving the car. The car arrived without problem, and the driver was...

Just took delivery on last Thursday and the software was updated to V10 on last Friday. Car is beautiful, kudos to our Advisor. This is my wife's car that she drives to her office daily. The route has good road condition and her office garage has spacious parking spaces, it is easy on the 21"...

Just got my Model S 'Raven' Long Range (with FSD option) delivered on Thursday morning 9/26, and received the V10 update on Friday night 9/27.

Just took delivery today. Ordered 9/14. Delivered 9/26. End of quarter madness, and kudos to our Advisor for taking great care of us. 2019 Model S 'Raven' Long Range, Midnight Silver Metallic, 21" Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine wheels, all black Premium Interior, Full Self-Driving Capability...

Yes, I saw the news everywhere..... To be fair, FPD stated that the Model S battery charge lasted almost two shifts, and was not charged at the beginning of the officer's shift. I 'think' that is a 2014 Model S 85, with 265 miles range? If I were Musk, I would offer FPD to trade-in the 2014...

I guess this is the Chinese copy of the Model S? The company is called Xpeng Motors. Tesla is also suing them for stealing the Autopilot source code. (More details at the story below.) https://electrek.co/2019/04/16/tesla-clone-xpeng-electric-sedan/
