Use Case: Any BEV Requirements: Home Charging w/ Garage Materials: PVC pipe and elbows (1/2") Tools: PVC Cutter & Glue Difficulty Scale (1-10): It's wonderful in the BEV world to be able to charge at home. If you do, you probably have an outlet or a Wall Connector. And that's great for...

Tesla is losing???? These excerpts crack me up: Who has heard of Tesla? My, my. Reminder, don’t click and complain. You’ve been warned. https://www.stansoftcorporation.com/news/is-tesla-losing-its-mojo/?fbclid=IwAR1aG30RgcJ7yRvnjk7YGcW1952gsv-6W9bykg4hVqYLBl_DtnUYoRVqjME

Ford CEO. Doofus. $5k more for Prius with HOV sticker was not for the 5 minutes he saved via the commute lane. That’s not the ’cost’ of five minutes. You can’t just linearly extrapolate that value for 45 minutes for another commuter. Ugh. Monroe. Bewitching?. Cow towing to the ‘Built Ford...

Another funny…. “All that electric power is fast and exciting off the line. But the overly minimalist interior and the lackluster exterior styling make Tesla a strong contender for this list.” Don’t click below!!!! :)...

It’s an old article, but #3 and #1 had me in stitches...

I nod at Y, 3, and X drivers. Then carry on. I grin at Ss. Then gun it. :)

The S and X are indeed halo/flagship/top-of-line cars for Tesla. They still turn heads and make other Tesla owners smile. There isn’t a day I park in a public area that I don’t get some indication that it continues to stand out. And this in SoCal. Land of Tesla gigadensity. In addition, they...

On Delivery Day, Elon himself stated no 4680s for Plaid for years to come. Heard it firsthand in person! :)

How are the puddle lights and other replacement bulbs coming along?

Holy crap. That’s got to burn. Interesting that the author owns less than a single share. https://www.teslarati.com/tsla-short-sellers-lost-1-55-billion-30-days/

And so it goes. On and on. Good path by Tesla? Copied by Ford…” This is a move that Tesla started to implement last year and by the first quarter of 2022….” https://electrek.co/2022/07/21/ford-secured-60-gwh-battery-supply-achieve-production-600000-electric-vehicles/...

FOBs Never use with our newer cars. Had to with ‘17 S&X Phone works 100% (once in a blue moon I have to submit a slight jig). Key card in wallet. Valet card hidden in car in sleeve with key ring for attendants to hang/identify. Color matched to car and with Tesla logo. :) Do not miss it. Would...

Sideshow product? Dude belongs in the freak show. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-niche-not-like-ford-f-150-170217506.html

This is messed up. Which is it? 105k or 10.5M??? https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/jury-finds-tesla-just-1-liable-owes-105-mln-over-fatal-crash-2022-07-19/

How so? Always running on our iPhones. Much like a ton of other apps.

Bazinga! https://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-registration-data-shows-how-tesla-is-doing-among-luxury-cars-and-evs-heres-whats-catching-up-11657810861

?? I leave one of my key cards for the valet. Never take mine out of my wallet. What I really want is to tie the valet profile to my designated valet key card. Not hard at all. We have a ‘22 SPlaid and YPerformance. No issues. My phone opens both cars wirelessly and my keycard works on both...

Yes.

If they could do it at the panel level, the complexity would be significantly less. One of the biggest challenges with current wraps and PPF is working around the joints, moldings, handles, lights, trim, etc. on a fully assembled vehicle. You remove what you can and cut around what you can’t.

Almost everything. Depending on the 3rd party app you use. Even keyless driving. But it does not use NFC or BT so you do have to use the app on your watch. Tesla does not have a watch app yet. However you can use apps like Stats, Tessie, and EVwatch. See above for what you can do. Not...

Phone is ubiquitous for us. Just stays in the pocket or her purse. Unlocking and driving is hands free. We sold our ‘17X back in October. My memory is a bit hazy, what could you do with the FOB that you couldn’t with your phone or watch? Same. I have yet to take them out of the zip lock bag...

Hmmm. Will the physical card key not do the same for you? I keep one in my wallet. Granted, my wallet is usually in my car, but the iPhone works 100% and have the watch as a backup or primary if at the beach. :)

I don’t get it. The FOBs were cool some time back. Seem dated to me now. I have the phone and a physical key card. My FOBs were great for our ‘17 S&X that didn’t have either of those (you would have to use the app instead of it being touchless and requiring only proximity to the car). For our...

Disagree 100%. We owned ‘17 S and X. Now own ‘22 S Plaid and YP. The Pallidium S is much better than the last generation. The Y in many ways is better built than the S and the X. No perception of it being cheap in comparison. The molding is better. The panel fit is better. Sure ride is a bit...

Paid to be stupid. Or just a shill? https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-gm-electric-vehicles-51657145834

What absolute rubbish. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-overtaken-ford-gm-elon-musk-car-wars-boa-report/

We took a mini vacation this weekend. Three Teslas. Me, Plaid. Wife, MYP. My sister, dad’s older Y. Only about 250 miles total for first two cars and 175 for other. Both Plaid and MYP charged to 100% just before departure. Y was 30%. Sister’s first time long drive in Tesla. Her first charging...

Two of many things Elon said on stage at Delivery Day that I clearly remember. Pallidium S is less expensive to build than previous generation. No 4680s for S for several years to come. Also recall the following from Franz when I asked him directly. No active spoiler (so far) No matrix...

Botched would have been a car that nobody wanted. Far from it. People are waiting & paying upwards of $20k more from initial release units. My ‘22 Plaid despite its delivery day tribulations is the best car I’ve ever owned 3 months into it. Everyone that has seen it, red with Stealth PPF, loves...

Ah, there it is. https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-deliveries-q2-tsla-covid-51656778721

Anything originally come out of these dimwits? Charger Aesthetics OTA (yes, this one is a bit weak) Lease Terms The only thing original (and so abysmal) physical volume dial on a digital screen. Ugh. https://www.thestreet.com/technology/ford-makes-a-major-change

Certainly can’t disagree with the winner, but how on earth do the Ford and Volvo beat out the rest of the Tesla line-up? Particularly the 3? Best EV!

My gap was similar. But because the clear coat basically peeled off my trunk, a trip to the body shop was agreed to by Tesla. While there, they fixed virtually every panel and had to reshape the trunk to make it follow the curve of the quarter panel. It didn’t come out perfect as I did not...

I ended up with a Plaid for precisely $20k less than current pricing as I was locked if for what seemed like a decade. Only thing it doesn’t have is the swivel/tilt. I grin every day to work and back. I grin just looking at the damn thing and knowing what it is capable of. I grin every time I...

Bias much? https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/teslas-run-record-deliveries-may-be-reaching-end-road-2022-06-30/

PM and we can chat. :)

Nice start. Read elsewhere that the costs including charging are paid off first week of every month. https://electrek.co/2022/06/28/tesla-vehicles-uber-drivers-hertz-deal/

I set to 5mph less than posted speed limit. In my opinion, FSD drives like a speed freak. Biggest problem with it is inconsistency. One second I am astounded by its brilliance, the next I’m frantically disengaging to save me/car/other from an imbecilic move. Whole heartedly disagree. Love the...

I’m a fan of the black seats on the S. Not fond of perforated in white. My personal opinion is black on black is super sexy. I’d get a seat protector for the car seats regardless. There was a Lion brand I really liked for our kids some two decades back. We have the larger wheels on both the...

Pretty obvious. To us. :) https://www.teslarati.com/teslas-ev-dominance-secure-vs-competition/

The split was on the Model Y. Front dual. Back not. Refresh S has all dual. Assume X too.

You can either edit current one via app text back when they confirm appointment/reach out to you & request they create a second appointment

Did they really need to add the idiot at the end to negate the overall message from Credit Suisse? https://www.cnbc.com/video/2022/06/24/credit-suisse-cuts-price-target-on-tesla-still-positive-on-the-stock.html

My goodness. This became my primary go to thread a while back. But man, talk about degradation. Seems like FB or Reddit in here lately. Certified nut house. Skipped a bunch of pages to land here. Has it gotten any better? I’m afraid to look. I think I’ll go elsewhere for a few days and see if...

Skipped a few pages to catch up. Not sure this has been posted. Possible. Not probable. Probability <=2.0%? https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-will-lose-crown-biggest-electric-car-maker-2024-study-2022-6

Had to highlight the funny word that made me giggle a bit. At least in the MME’s current guise. Not a Ford hater either, we had a Fusion Hybrid and an Explorer prior to the switch to Teslas in ‘17. Also had my eye on the GT.

Good to hear. I’ll remember that name. Actually, I think he came out for my old S. Interestingly enough it was to replace my steering wheel. As for SVc’s im bailing on Camarillo and going back to Agoura. They were and probably are still the best out in our neck of the woods.

1. I would like to be able to link a card key to the valet profile so I can just hand over the card stored in the car and not worry about it. 2. AFAIK the messages are no longer displayed as text like they used to on the cluster screen as previously. Just audio.

You’ve got the doves? I thought that bird house got demolished several SW updates back. Are you still in factory island release mode?

I had to take a car that fell through to ensure I kept my 1.24% with DCU. Different colors inside and out. Though @aerodyne and I went over it with his calipers (kidding) for hours (not kidding), it ended up in Service/Body Shop for 3 weeks. It was an aggravating ordeal. But I now have a near...
