    Flat Tire & Roadside Experience and Tesla Service.

    A couple of comments: 1) Most EVs don't have spares, it isn't just Tesla (for example, Nissan Leaf has no spare) 2) I have had Premier AAA for years. Their service has deteriorated a lot in the last 5 years. They use 3rd parties as well. My last two calls to AAA have taken: 1 hour (only...

    I can't wondering whether they will use higher quality paint in China production

    Big reason that Tesla has had such trouble with their paint quality is that the State of California forces them to utilize water-based paints where as factories elsewhere can use better quality paints

    Anyone know who actually does the Tesla loans?

    Given how they are perennially cash short, I imagine they are using some 3rd party to actually do the servicing

    Spare tire in Australia?

    Question for you Aussies? When I bought my Nissan Leaf 3 years ago, the big Leaf forum said that all cars sold in Australia had to have a spare tire. So Nissan basically mounted a spare tire holder on bottom back of the car. Is that still a requirement? Do Tesla's sold there have a spare...

    No VINs in October?

    I drive the Tesla plant every day. When they are shipping to Asia or Europe, the cars go by rail out the back of the plant. When they are shipping in Western US, the cars get loaded on "car carrier" trucks on front and I can see them. Once I see these (my guess late November), I will report...

    Tesla Fremont Gen 3 Production

    The other big limiter is battery availability. You may have noticed that the number of cars/quarter is stabilized. Panasonic has refused to do anymore investment at Gigafactory because they are losing money. Until they start getting batteries out of their Maxwell Tech investment, I don't see...

    Do I need to jacks to swap tires front to back?

    Probably rotate tires at home. Not hard to do. Question is if I jack from one jack point, will I lift car on that side enough to swap the tires? Or am I going to need two jacks?

    Couple of questions after placing order for Tesla 3 LR AWD

    Question on Tire replacement on 18"

    Two main questions: 1) are the foam inside tires just with 19", so repairs on 18" not an issue 2) I noticed in many tire threads just a few tires are serious discussed. When I go to Tirerack, they list quite a few other tires that seem to me Telsa 3 18" spec: a) Continental DVs06 50K warranty...

    I have a lemon! What do I do?

    I had a lemon law experience in California. As soon as I started to talk lemon law, they offered buy back with trivial deduction for mileage. They refunded unused registration as well. They would rather do the buy-back than have a car show up on their lemon law statistics which are public...
