Good luck with that based on Tesla's track record. ;)

I'm ready for the next EV day at the track! ;)

I'm ready for the next day at the track! ;)

From the 1Q22 Shareholder deck.

TLDR - The bottom line: EA system reliability and availability has suffered, while Tesla has not.

From the Tesla configuration site... the wording sounds pretty open-ended to me. ;)

Here's what I found: The survey methodology may be flawed because a problem is recorded when a system works, but customers don’t know how to use it. The J.D. Power U.S. Initial Quality StudySM (IQS) serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle quality measured at 90 days of ownership...

Interesting study... is the rating criteria the same for ICE and EVs?

Correct, carbon-ceramic brakes and the high-performance wheel and tire package are required for 200mph. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-plaid-track-package-wheels/

Can you create sentry mode footage on an AP1 vehicle with MCU2?

Here is some good information from the TMC battery expert... posted in another thread.

It appears that Tesla still maintains a sizeable 10x lead over EA in network size and reliability. ;) "As of their latest update, Electrify America currently has around 800 stations with 3,500 individual chargers. In comparison, Tesla recently celebrated the opening of their 35,000th...

You may want to give it a test drive... ;)

The Model S market is small and it appears that the H&R springs for the AWD dual-motor are the only game in town.

Post a price on the forums... this is not eBay.

The real lesson here... don't drink and drive! ;)

I've driven my Model S with traditional springs at the track and it performs. ;) Keep in mind that the current Model S has the EV track record at Laguna Seca. *(Faster than a NA Porsche 911 GT2 RS (991) driven by Randy Pobst) - 1:28.30)...

Life happens and you gave it a good college try.

Thank you for sharing this information on the 2012-2013 battery packs. Do you have enough data to form an opinion on the 2014-2015 packs?

Supercharging is still free for me as an early adopter of the Model S/X. Battery swaps not so much. ;)

Keep in mind that we also have the medical and education systems that produce the most innovative technological advancements worldwide.

This is the correct answer.

Thanks for sharing the wall of shame. I was surprised to see France high on the list with its massive nuclear power program.

Here is the video that details the repair of a similar coolant hose issue on a Model 3 - start at the 14:00 minute mark. Hope this helps.

Looks like Tesla may have painted over a panel that had some flash surface rust. Talk to a Tesla manager about this ASAP.

Nice looking lightweight wheels at 21.5 lbs... the OEM 21" Tesla wheel is 32 lbs Front, 36 lbs Rear!

Looks good... doesn't the PG&E E-6 rate plan start to phase out and transition to a TOU 4-9 pm plan on 7-1-22?

Here is the link to the referenced interview in the Electrek article. ;) During a new interview with the Tesla Owners Club of Silicon Valley, Musk confirmed that the Cybertruck design is now “locked”: We need to get on that [getting the Cybertruck to production]. At least, the design is...

Interesting video on the performance modifications for the upcoming Pikes Peak Hillclimb... narrated by Randy Pobst.

I agree... the prior stimulus packages drove the runaway inflation we are now experiencing.

Another factor to consider: Tesla needs a "Halo" car to continue to promote the brand image as the world's fastest production car... until the Roadster finally arrives! ;)

A while back Tesla decided to limit the commercial use of Superchargers after continued abuse by the Tesloop taxi service in LA. I think that the commercial use by Hertz employees would violate this agreement referenced in the Electrek article linked below...

I am surprised that no one has yet commented on the latest D&I news from Tesla. https://electrek.co/2022/06/20/tesla-lay-off-head-lgbtq-diversity-elon-musk-woke-mind-virus/

Complete nonsense... you continue to embarrass yourself and yet you keep digging. ;) The EA charging network has some serious issues related to reliability and maintenance.

Social Security reform as you proposed will likely happen in the next few years to keep the system solvent.

TLDR: Bottom line 26.1% of the charging stations in the study could not supply power - 19% were non-functioning and 7.1% were design failures. A shocking statistic by any measure. ;)

PG&E must have sent out a crew to remove the signage. No time for a transformer ;)

Yes, especially PG&E.

Here is the description of the work and part number in the Service invoice.

With that approach, you would probably be fired by Elon well before you had a chance to disrupt others and quit in protest.
