I wonder if Bjørn Nyland has done a 1000 km challenge with the SR+? I don’t recall seeing one, but has driven 1000 km in less than 10 hours in a...
Technically the whole stable would be SEXYR. :) The Tesla Roadster was THE 21st Century Car. It was the start of the revitalization [revenge?]...

Ask Tesla to be sure, but I think the following is (likely) correct: The 4 year bumper-to-bumper and the 8-year Powertrain warranties should...
@Sags224 I plug my cars in every night for two reasons: 1) The car can use grid electricity to keep the battery cool while parked during summer,...

I refreshed the page and now am hearing complaints about cobalt
I am still seeing the looped video with no sound
Deciding to get a Tesla now, vs. waiting for future improvements is difficult for a lot of us. I am super happy with my 2015 S and very early...

Where did you find a phone number for the parts department? Was this a centralized US or North America department, or your local service center?...
How do you contact Tesla’s parts department? Ever since the service centers stopped answering the phone, the only way I know is to drive there....
Tesla now has a new “Tegra Daughterboard” with 64 GB memory to repair MCU memory failures. This should have better life than the original 8 GB...

That would require a time machine. Mercedes already sold their gull wing SL “e-Cell” with separate motor for each wheel many years ago. Rimac has...
Check out the new two stage snowblower from Ego. Definitely not a toy. Ego still makes their less expensive single stage snow blower for...
@TheRFMan, Good point. Only a few very high mileage commuters will really need 48 A charging. No need to pay for what you don’t need. However,...
@univ, What an adventure! Great photos and storytelling. Thanks for sharing. GSP
Rather than install a 14-50, I recommend installing a 6-50 instead. This saves money spent on the unused neutral wire in the 14-50. Tesla...
@AMehta, Discount Tire offers good prices for Michelin tires. I bought 4 of the same OEM 19” tires that came with my 2015 S85D for less than...
This has also been my experience at the old Louisville charger for the past year or two. I can’t understand why Tesla does not fix it. GSP
I think it started in England with the Luddites. It never went away. Humans definitely can be myopic. GSP
I would ask the owner the questions for items that are important to you. I did add how to check for the ones that I knew how. GSP
Some options to look for: Tech package with Autopilot (AP1 is great for road trips and traffic jams) LTE capability? (if not, budget $500 for LTE...
My gen 1 and gen 2 Tesla HPWCs work great, and I like being able to open the charge port with the button on the plug. However, it sounds like...
You forgot to include the higher round trip (charge + discharge) efficiency of Li-ion vs. PbA batteries. All of the vampire drain has to cycle...
With a family of 4, the extra room in the Y will be appreciated. The back seat is more roomy and comfortable, and the extra luggage space is...
My service center told me they have no idea how long before they get their first Tegra daughterboards. They gave me the impression it would be...
The original Crew Dragon was designed for propulsive landing with parachute backup, so Elon likely would do just as you suggest for his supersonic...
@Etna, When the subject of supersonic VTOL aircraft came up in a published interview of Elon on other aerospace topics, Elon said he would reduce...
Someone local, maybe yourself if you are handy, can remove the Tegra board and mail it to @EV-Fixme (Tony?) for repair. My car is in warranty,...
No info, sorry. This is an extended warranty service with $200 deductible. I am hoping Tesla is gearing up to build a batch of new replacement...
I took my 2015 S85D to Tesla service for warranty repair for a black touchscreen. Instead of replacing the MCU with a refurbished one, they...
I am still waiting for a heated steering wheel option before exercising my second Model 3 day 1 reservation. In the meantime my Jan 2018 LR RWD...
@Aphinity, You seem knowledgeable and know how things work, and I am sure that you will be careful. The problem is other people can easily get...
Is that a good thing? ;) I do like the P2. It is great to have competitive EVs. I still prefer the Tesla 3 though. GSP
I would also like to know what is happing here. I really like Rich’s videos, and would like to see these “banned” episodes. I wonder who is...
Thanks for posting your real world experience with a fuel cell vehicle. I did have a couple of questions about this part: “Now of course, thanks...
Ouch. Do you have an option to install a 240 V outlet or HPWC on an outside wall of your house to charge the car in your driveway? If so, you...
I do this as well. I can set the speed where I am comfortable, and the all-to-frequent incorrect speed limits don’t affect me at all. Steering...
Max charging rate for the Model 3 Is 250 kW. Max rate for the Model S is 200 kW. As @whitex points out, charging at a constant 200 kW for one...
This is the way to go. The correct adapter will limit current to what is safe for the wiring and outlet. Using a 14-50 adapter requires the...
I had this same issue several months ago. I googled the problem and found a fix. If you log in to your google account using the web browser, then...
OK. It does sound funny now, but it was also true at the time. What was truly funny at the time (2010) was the news reporter not knowing the...
Interesting discussion, but “acoustic bikes?” Please! There is nothing very acoustic about a bicycle, electric assist or not. Not a good term to...
@Mousecop, I think the stealth performance is only available off menu. You have to call Tesla and ask if they are available or not. Sounds like...
@Mousecop, I have a LR RWD and it is plenty quick enough for me, better than most of the ICE cars from the past 60 years that I have driven. They...
