    Who can catch Tesla ? They seem to be experiencing exponential growth…..

    Just going to put this here. timestamp 34:57 for 48V architecture comment. I'm just curious which of the Legacies will RTFM. The Chinese are probably already doing their homework.

    Tesla Unionization

    Do all IF Metall mechanics get paid the same rate and benefits no matter which shop they work for?

    Tesla Unionization

    So you're saying Tesla employees should put this to a vote? Not IF Metall members, but Tesla Employees.

    Tesla Unionization

    The question still has not been answered: What exactly does the union offer that's better than what Tesla is offering its employees? Whom does it benefit?

    Tesla Unionization

    I don't get it. If IF Metall wants a controlling interest in Tesla, why not just buy shares? If the employees want more of the profits the company makes, why not just buy more shares? As I understand it, the one with the most to lose is more likely to work harder than one who does not. Am I...

    Turo for Teslas, Experience, Trust, Results, Cost

    @Sig72 Has any of your renters ever leave your car at 20% or lower SOC or 100% over night consecutively?

    Is it really worth it getting a Tesla?

    Because cars are depreciating assets unless you know which ones to get. Even those that hold or appreciate in value have their own problems - insurance, storage, etc. What were talking about is not if Tesla is "worth it" but how to resolve your expectations vs. reality. I was in a similar...

    HELP!!! Adapter stuck.

    Or you can go to a Service Center and see if they have one in stock.

    Change in weather…tire pressure.

    Yeah, but if you really want to get more nitrogen in, you need to use winter air.

    Change in weather…tire pressure.

    You don't replace your summer air for winter air? I just keep my winter air in the winter tires.

    Change in weather…tire pressure.

    If you do have someone fill it for you, check to make sure the Schrader valve cap is on tight. They tend to rush and leave it on there loosely.

    Change in weather…tire pressure.

    I use the one Costco provides in their parking lot. I used to go to Discount Tire when it was on the way, but sometimes the line's long. I would suspect today would be one of those days.

    Change in weather…tire pressure.

    I fill it. Pressure is more likely to go down further as time progresses.

    Window regulator troubleshooting

    I've worked with rangers before. I think they can work on it as long as you give them the go ahead.

    Window regulator troubleshooting

    This was my brother's 2013 MS that I worked on. I think he paid $240 for it, but I don't recall on how long it took him to get the regulator from the service center. Sorry I can't be of much help there.

    Window regulator troubleshooting

    I think I used the extra hands for helping me keep the glass up so I could have access to the bolts to separate it from the regulator. IIRC, the bolts at the bottom wasn't our problem. We didn't have the assembly as far forward as possible. I think I had him apply that pressure while I tightened...

    Window regulator troubleshooting

    Just so you're aware, I had a non-handy family member help me with holding things steady while I made adjustments. Annoying part was taking door apart and putting it back together numerous times. I also had extra plastic clips for the door. Then again, maybe doing it late past midnight might've...

    Window regulator troubleshooting

    I did this a few months back. I couldn't see it until I removed the whole thing. Getting the assembly in and out was pretty much unbolting and bolting it back on in reverse, but adjusting it for the wind noise was annoying. Unless you're selling the car right after the repair, I don't...

    Important lesson learned. Don't trust Tesla routing for Superchargers

    I haven't done it recently, but I did it unintentionally with the 2016 MS. Didn't care to pass a truck when it merged into our lane. IIRC, I had it set to a following distance of 2 or 3. I only noticed it was doing something because the estimated SOC kept climbing up. Then a rock hit the...

    Important lesson learned. Don't trust Tesla routing for Superchargers

    My problem's the opposite. Tesla recommends stopping at a closer supercharger where I'll be charging for 5-10 min. I look at the map and the next supercharger will be exactly where I need the SOC to be - between 10% - 20%. Maybe there's a setting in there that I haven't looked? But my strategy...

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    Need Advice -- Tesla updated software on my 2013 Model S, Now im being forced into pricey Infotainment upgrade.

    Ship of Theseus OP just wants a cost efficient way of keeping his car optimally operational. I'm in the "Clear the cache / Factory reset" camp. I tend to do that with gadgets that have a memory - smartphones, tablets, PCs, etc.

    People who sell Teslas because they couldn't adopt EV life style?

    You have a valid point, but people selling to CarMax was probably because the situation was advantageous. There was definitely a point in time where you could definitely flip your old Tesla for more $$$ and get a newer one for less $$$. If one had two cars and could live with one while waiting...

    Meet the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT: an EV That'll Kick a Hellcat's Ass

    I change my mind on the artificial exhaust note until we have level 5 autonomy. I suppose it helps those still in the habit of using AUDITORY sensory input for acceleration. Hopefully this helps avoid more unintended acceleration accidents. Or at least put a third pedal like a clutch that would...

    Aptera

    The I can't charge at home & lifestyle market. Disrupting the same as Tesla - ICE. I'd say they're competitors in that one is for Right to Repair. Aptera is also trying to reverse the vehicles getting heavier trend.

    Model S Rear Folding Seats

    If I'm not mistaken, 3rd row was only available if ordered from the factory and could not be retrofitted. Unless your S had it from the factory, you cannot add on unless it did and was sold by the original owner. So if your S was not configured for 3 seats from the factory, you can't put one in...

    Need some quick advice on a used 2016 70D - 20kwh super charging speed...

    If you have access to the app, can you upgrade it to a 75D? Or you can check the actual battery sticker by the right front tire.

    Need some quick advice on a used 2016 70D - 20kwh super charging speed...

    Try it again at below SOC between 21% - 29%. I expect a speed of about 70kwh. Make sure to activate battery conditioning by either navigating to a supercharger or a destination that's not local but necessitates a supercharger stop. Why do I say "not local"? It may be just anecdotal, but when we...

    Who can catch Tesla ? They seem to be experiencing exponential growth…..

    Yeah, so you're telling me BYD can make batteries faster than it can put it into cars? Or is it more profitable for them to sell the battery than to make cars or any other finished products requiring batteries (Power Wall, MegaPack, Hybrids, or BEVs)?

    Really? BYD has access to more batteries than Tesla? Which other battery suppliers does BYD use?

    Mobile charger - held for pickup at UPS?!

    This looks like lazy data entry. Happens a lot with Amazon. Package delivered. Not on my doorstep. Get the package a little later, the next day, or at the neighbors. If the package doesn't arrive at your doorstep at the expected dates, then by all means follow-up with Tesla.

    Big price drop

    Big price drop

    That's the problem. Tesla's conversation is not with us, but with Wall Street (Analysts). They are not only talking to Wall Street, but showing their work (numbers) too. Tesla is not setting the pace, they're stilll accelerating despite being in the lead. If the sentiment is that the Legacy...
