Even back in 2017, my MS was delivered with the front plate on and is not required in MI. Luckily it comes off with no permanent damage.

The only time I felt this is when my car was slowing down on regen, hit a bump and regen briefly let off…which then “felt” like an acceleration.

That’s supposed to be available in a month.

I use my local Belle Tire for my MS for tires. They work on Teslas all the time.

I live in MI. There are 2 service centers. East and West side of state. But if one lives in Northern MI, that’s a longer drive. Service can be bad for some. I have owned a Tesla going on 6 years and when I first bought it, NO service centers existed in MI. But they do have mobile service...

I haven’t done that specific route but I just finished a 5,300 mile road trip and I strictly used the in car NAV. Since it’s your first time, err on the side of over charging (the NAV is good about giving a decent buffer) so that way you have less chance of a range anxiety situation. Once you...

There should be some Model S vehicles available for test drive by August. They were probably all recently sold due to end of quarter push. Test drive one for yourself to find out for sure.

I don’t see where your article or talking points refute what I stated.

Quicker delivery perhaps…

Bummer…

If I didn’t like the yoke, I’d probably go for this… https://pimpmyev.com/products/custom-traditional-circular-round-steering-wheel-replacement-for-model-s-or-plaid-2021-2022

The Plaid is quite different from previous versions.

Rebalancing. But I’m not counting on a huge move. https://www.finder.com/tesla-topples-meta-as-fifth-largest-stock-on-russell-indexes?amp

Maybe button stickers for turn signals and horn would help. https://teslanorth.com/2022/04/04/tesla-model-s-plaid-owners-are-adding-sticker-buttons-to-the-yokes-horn-button-pics/

Yes.

What qty of people are having to replace their batteries? Are you suggesting that every Tesla will need this replacement every 8.5 years?

If they are still working and able to accumulate shares, I’d d welcome low share prices. I remember an employee ranting in a video a couple years back how she was upset with Elon, etc for knocking down the stock price. Within a handful of months, the SP was at new highs.

I have both. I bought the 4 dashcams prior to getting the dashcam feature but I like having both still. Higher res and wider angle if needed. Also a good backup in case one or the other failed. For the two side cameras, I have them in the back seat tiny window but facing forward. Gets...

Nice. I just finished a 5,300 mile road trip from MI to WY, MT and CO and the states in between. Went very well using the Tesla superchargers exclusively. Also can EASILY drive over 1,200 miles in less than two days while stopping for meals, only driving during daylight hours and staying in a...

I just finished a 5,300 mile road trip from MI, through MT, CO, WY and states in between. Not once did I have to wait for a supercharger location. And I strictly used superchargers. So in areas like CA and east coast, yes there needs to be more added and soon. For much of the rest of the US...

How is it not relevant? Several car makers are going this route and appears to be the trend wether you like it or not. Certainly not just Tesla. So you better have a plan. If you are that concerned, you should always carry a glass breaker tool on your key chain. There’s a chance that the...

It’s the type of door lock. Not just Tesla. “Four years ago, the 75-year-old owner of a 2006 Cadillac XLR was trapped inside of his vehicle for 14 hours after its battery died, leaving the electronic door releases inoperable. He could have immediately released himself had he known the location...

Short lived it seems… https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2022/04/13/biden-gas-supply-climate-change-00024776

Or they can’t afford to build them. Even being made in Mexico, they are now sold at a loss. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E Profit Wiped Out by Commodity Costs

Just finished a 5,300 mile road trip strictly on supercharger network with my 2017 MS. Absolutely flawless. Every stall worked the first time. Never had to try a different one. As far as EA charging network? Still a LONG way to go in comparison to Tesla. Edit - TLDW - EA network stalls...

Exactly! I have saved over 1,200 in 3 weeks.

I’m on a 5k road trip right now from MI through the west. About 3.5k miles so far and been fantastic. I use Tesla NAV for the entire trip but I often manually pick a Tesla supercharger if I want to avoid a busy town or some other reason. The waypoint and edit trip is great. I have stopped...

Headlines are often horribly misleading.

Do you honestly believe the OTA is the true fix that will correct this issue?

Rob did write this: “Anyhow that whole battery thing was shady also” I wouldn’t call that “side with Tesla”.

An EV would be GREAT for plowing since no transmission and high torque. And most likely would have enough range to last the day.

Meh. Let them eat their own dog food.

Would be great if they are software limiting until the entire line gets switched to 4680 at all factories to prevent people from wanting to Osborne the product and wait. Then once Tesla is producing all model Y’s and 3’s with 4680, crank up the charge rate.

Correct. By law. Same is true for any other carmaker in US although rates can vary. Even if picked up at the factory. “The United States government requires it. That's because destination fees get based on direct costs. These costs are above and beyond the overhead companies must incur in...

This appears to be it: https://onlyusedtesla.com/listing/T1L2S

I just consider TSLAQ as “useful idiots”. We eventually get their money. Most like to brag about a single trade where they made a killing but then fail to mention how they end up losing all and more on the next.

Not for me. After road tripping in my Tesla cross country with AP and the fun of the car even after 5+ years, I find it MUCH more enjoyable than doing this in my gas car. In fact, on another trip right now. Also can cut down the stops by staying at hotels with chargers and timing with eating...

Even if he didn’t have dinner with Tucker, I have seen several posts from politicians with less than accurate accusations.

Exactly. Had she not written the “like I said, ego problems”, then I could have “maybe” believed her. But nope. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10770747/amp/AOC-responds-Elon-Musk-joked-hitting-following-Twitter-purchase.html

He has always been for a carbon tax. And never pushed for an EV subsidy. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/02/12/elon-musk-reducing-greenhouse-gas-emissions-with-a-carbon-tax.html “More recently Musk said that all subsidies should be eliminated, including those for oil and gas.” And in 2015...

Dude, please. He’d be foolish to leave them on the table.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/12/07/tech/elon-musk-wsj-government/index.html

Yes but Tesla/Elon never “wanted” or “needed” the subsidies to begin with. He has always been for a carbon tax. But he’d be foolish not to take them. https://www.geekwire.com/2015/elon-musk-explains-carbon-tax-necessary-garbage-collection-fees/amp/

Farther down in the article… “Like I said”. Sounds like it’s about Elon to me.

That’s not the part I was referring to. This is: “The exchange began when Ms Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Friday that she was tired of a “billionaire with an ego problem” who controlled a “massive communications platform” for enabling the right, but did not name the person or company behind her...

She’s had passive aggressive tweets too without specifically naming Elon. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/aoc-elon-musk-tweet-deleted-b2069059.html?amp

Here’s my take: (not that you asked me and probably don’t care but here it is anyway ;) ) What is Elon’s goal? To get everyone to switch to EVs and sustainable energy ASAP. NOT to just buy a Tesla. Tesla has plenty of business. Dems already will buy EVs. Republicans are a bit less likely...
