Separate names with a comma.
and that is something that happens, I will not spend 80K dollars on a car I can not use 100% of the time. Other people think the same way, I...
Why are you all so up in arms about topics like this? Some people don't want to stop for 30 minutes every 200 miles on a road trip, and they...
I wonder when the IIHS will conduct their crash testing of the Model S?
Where are you finding battery swap stations in a Dallas to Florida route? I hope you didn't lie to them just to sell a car, they aren't going to...
Doesn't having to replace tires at under 10K miles seem counter productive to the whole less maintenance cost that an ICE? Not only are you...
I'm all for addressing the reasons people aren't buying electric cars, but let's be real. The reason people aren't buying electric cars isn't...
Q: When you return the battery pack, do you have to pay again for the swap? And next question - how is this technology better than Better...
Pretty weird that the best car in the world requires someone to do something like this just to get air conditioning in the back seats.
Not to mention the whole 2 door thing. I imagine a mass adoption car will need 4 doors.
yeah, that's not creepy or anything. I don't think limiting your charge based on where you live fits with the whole free charging thing. Free...
How exactly are you going to determine if the person using the charger is local or on a trip? Are you going to ask everyone where they live...
It has range. I love how everyone on this forum acts like an ICE car is so bad. Can buy 2 Prius and enough gas for 10 years for both or a Model...
Yes, but like was said earlier, 250 mile range while empty is going to be significantly reduced if loaded or towing. If they get a 250 mile range...
I'm just wondering how big the battery would have to be and how much the truck would weigh. Model S is over 4000 pounds with an 85kw battery,...
Claiming that a Tesla truck will crush all other half tons is a big task. With a properly configured F150, you can tow up to 11,000 lbs and have...
Yes, but the $30K base price is factoring in the 7500 tax credit, how many people that regularly buy cars 30K and below have enough tax liability...
I would agree, a car that has sales of around 100K in the US isn't exactly the car for the "masses".
2.8 million cars sold by Tesla, yeah I don't think they are going to get to that range for at least 10-15 years if that.
I really think any energy use while parked is ridiculous. My ICE car doesn't use any gas while it is parked.
For a company that is supposedly "green", these loses are really staggering when you think about the numbers. 4+ kW loss per day, that's...
Yeah, the idea that the government would reduce a tax already in service is laughable.
and you think the Republicans in the House give a flying crap what the President suggests? After his failure of gun control, he's going to take...
You all DO realize that even setting aside the fact that these are state laws, the President is NOT a king and can not set aside any laws, period....
Unless some other manufacturer gets on the EV bandwagon, Tesla is going to be the only dog in the fight. It took the Prius 11 years to reach the...
They would need to get Gen III below 30K to hit that goal, can't really count on people who buy a car at this level having enough tax burden to...
Model S, X, and Gen III 20K each would take over 16 years to reach 1 million. Let's say Tesla is super successful and sell 100K cars total when...
total EV sales won't hit 1 million until 2025
I don't think it matters either way, because the news reports said that the driver of the Tesla was admitted to the hospital with minor injuries,...
The idea of not filling your car up completely when getting fuel is foreign to most people. Having to stop at a certain point and travel to the...
Large screen aside, why would anyone pay the thousands for NAV then when my 300 dollar stand alone GPS will do the job better and I get lifetime...
I'd be really careful parking behind an ICE car trying to block them in, you might come back and find your 80K dollar MS dented.
You all do know that Tesla does not own these parking spaces and they can not forbid anyone from parking there? Talking about damaging a car...
Some conscientious buyers might choose the goods from environmentally friendly countries, but the vast majority of everyone on this planet, not...
So, how long did it take you including charging times to cover each leg of the 265 miles?
The whole "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" argument gets my goat every time. Just because you are a law abiding...
All that would do is hurt the American workers with higher priced items. Can't buy Chinese goods because of pollution, our economy would crash...
Good luck with that. Tell those countries emerging that are burning coal like it's going out of style that they have to stop. That'll go over good.
And how exactly are we going to "act" before it's too late? What can the US government do to change the climate? Answer, nothing. If...
Having to turn the heat down and drive below the speed limit just to make it to a supercharger, and a 1 hour or more wait, doesn't seem to me to...
True, and shouldn't really need saying. If you are already in the luxury market, then the Model S makes perfect sense and may save you money. If...
The only rationalization is that you want the car and can afford it. Savings wise, you can buy a new Prius and have enough left for 30 years of...
Nothing irrational about wanting your $80K car to be able to travel more than 200 miles in a single day without extending road trips by 2-3 hours...
Yes, but with the Prius there is no worry of running out of battery charge and being stranded without any charging available.
I know it's been said before, but Model S needs a battery life remaining display. It'd be a lot better going distances if you could see that you...
I don't know how many TN Tesla owners there are yet, but the middle TN area has a deluge of CHAdeMO thanks to Cracker Barrel. Shame to not be...
It makes sense to charge for something that should be done before the car is even delivered? This isn't something that broke and needs fixing,...
So, is this a new different car company? Sounds like all the other companies out there, nickel and dime.
What are people going to do when the door handle motors start wearing out? Of all the things that need replacing on older cars, why make door...
all of this talk of bags and blow torches and crawling through the back and everything else for a $80K car is amazing. It looks pretty stupid I'm...
It seems to me that the lack of a charge timer is a huge oversight on an EV vehicle. Even on one rushed to production to meet certain quotas and...
