Separate names with a comma.
I could possibly be interested, but I would want to understand more about it. I have been away from this forum for years, and do not monitor it...
That is pretty cool. I wish they would have train car ferries here which would do that. I would love to drive to San Jose, put my car on the...
There are other options besides Star Shield, btw. Having some sort of paint protection is definitely a must - but one drawback to the Tesla...
Have we heard officially that the number of Roadsters has surpassed that of the EV1 leases, yet? It probably has happened, but I have not heard...

Interesting to hear his point of view on this. With needing to pay $170,000+ per month in legal fees it shows I obviously should have become a...
Yes, it will be curious as to where Tesla batteries go from here. 18650 batteries have far far more competition and volume which keep the price...
I like this new page! Especially the new graph: [ATTACH] I wish they would have included the Volt in here as well.
This was a good interview. I thought he handled himself very well. Didn't like the commercial interruptions, but *shrug*
Yeah... last I heard I was still the owner with the most milage: around 30,000 miles No significant difference in battery that I can tell at...
Maybe it was just so quiet you were hearing the car in front or behind it :-)
Make sure you let Tesla know this. They do listen to their customers and potential customers. I am sure many of their decisions on where to open...
The SLS looks very nice. It would be good if they could increase the range a bit, it is sad that 2013 Mercedes doesn't come close to the 2008...
Well the Fisker certainly had some sort of engine in it for its day at Laguna Seca. But I can believe it may not have been the final drive...
Based on the numbers given by Motortrend, Elon does play it fast and loose with the "Faster than a Ferrari" tag line... but what I want to know...
He is very pro-hydrogen at the end. But it is a good read regardless. Very exhaustively researched and interesting. Even if you do have to...
That has been my understanding as well. What I would like to know is: Do they still own the track?!
This is true! I am curious if this is all the video there is... Tesla filmed at our house for a good 2 or 3 hours - and I assume they spent...
Betting on a new car company failing in the US is always a good bet. However, it is not correct to say that because a CEO of a company is...
Yes, I was very surprised at this too. Especially so long after my original purchase. I wonder what prompted this?
September 2008 I think you meant. Yes, dog and pony show is a good way to put it.
An interesting and more in-depth look at the Ford-Edison relationship is in the book: Internal Combustion by Edwin Black [ATTACH]...
I am surprised that Dan Niel didn't mention Tesla at all when talking about American car makers. Was their display truly not mentionable compared...
This is now available on iTunes for those who wanted to see it but were not able to before. It is Episode 63 in the Episode list: iTunes...
Oh! That freaking rocks! I want that Smart!!! I wonder if it will be sold in the U.S.? I wonder how it compares with the Smart Tesla has...
This is great news too. I hope with the Gov't loans, Daimler and Fjord it means that the Model S production release date will not be as...
That is great news! I am a little surprised they are only at 700 though. Wasn't 500 way back at the beginning of June? I know there was a...
Ooo! I wonder if they are truly scuff resistent (which is not a given with CF) or there will be the same problems in a few months with them as well.
Totally agree with your analysis on this, doug. I would be much happier if they went through a standard DOT automotive safety rating, and could...
For the owners with iPhones: I have been playing with the TomTom application which gives a speed readout as well (as certainly a dedicated GPS...

Work is just shy of 50 miles one way, so I do about 100 miles a day on my commute. But I also have a second home in Sacramento (about 150 miles...
Ha! Driver's time gets better throughout the evening as the driver loses more and more weight :smile:
Ooo! I wonder what their definition of "Good" is. I am sooo glad that they unbundled my floor mats so I could pay $150 for the privilege of...
Received it! Thanks! I have been playing with trying to coil mine on top of one of the "high sides" as you call them to leave the rest of the...
Yes, it is actually a bit disconcerting once you have gotten used to the fairly agressive slow-down at low speeds that regen gives. When you are...
Still waiting on my charger... SByer, what is the white car parked behind your Roadster? The black rims look awesome on your car, btw. Edit to...
Interesting. I thought Lotus usually sourced their motors from Toyota. Do they have experience making this kind of thing?
I hope Dan Rather figures out that the company is name Tesla, and not Telsa before he speaks it on air
No... or at least not more than any of my other cars :smile: I did yank off the ridiculous vestigial sun visors, though. Even "up" they caused a...
Congrats, Shark2k! Long time coming! I know you will love having it.
I wonder what Chris Paine thinks of this?
While every person is different (length of legs vs torso etc) I do fit just fine in my Roadster at 6'4"... getting in and out is still humbling -...
I would love to move his LED display off to the side, and see if a controller could be rigged to make the original rolling numbers go by instead:...
This is great! It would be awesome to have this as an option to the Clipper Creek!
Err... there is a quotation on the page linked by vfx. This was a bit of paraphrasing the email I had sent them, and not an exact quote. The...
Oh right! The "Mystery Spot" is near my place - perhaps I should be charging my car there...
If Roadster owners are worried about their car being too quiet, they can just turn on the Air Conditioner. The blowers that turn on in the front...
I am 6'4", and both the Model S (in the front) and the Roadster work for me. But as Tdave says, the current prototype interior is not indicative...
Congrats, James! This is very exciting!
