I read an essay about salt. The author said that salt was valuable in earlier days, but a technological advance (refrigeration) rendered salt less valuable, and now we get small packets of it for free at cheap food places. That author wrote that oil is the next salt. Should I sell my few...

I picked up my Model 3 today from Buena Park Service. It needed a new motor after only 737 miles. I asked the Service Manager about bringing in our S90Ds for the 3-year services. He said that service had changed. On the way home I listened to Tesla Tidbits and to Elon Daily. I heard that...

The tow truck hauled away my new Model 3 today. Only 737 miles. Error message said it would not drive. I called Tesla Roadside Assistance, and talked with Spencer, and he put me on hold and came back and said he had no idea what was wrong and would send a tow truck to haul it to Buena...

I'm leaning towards RWD-- Rear Wheel Drive. I am thinking that the RWD gives a sportier feeling, with less weight in the front, not to mention the thousands of dollars less cost, and the greater (GREATER) fuel economy, with RWD only-- unlike adding AWD to the Model S, where AWD gives more fuel...

I'm wondering whether there are more Model 3's than Model S's by now. Counting production numbers, or counting sales numbers. Whatever. Which car is now the most common Tesla?

I'm thinking about my 2019 Model 3. I'd like ventilated seats, otherwise I'll buy a $20 cushion, the one that TEG posted. Any word on weather ventilated seats will be an option on the 3? First thing I did on my Model S two years ago was to buy an air cushion. Sitting on leather is like...

Today we picked up a Model 3 for my daughter, at the Marina Del Ray Distribution Center. In Pearl White. What a beautiful car. Welcome to the 21st Century! My wife observed that red did not look as good on a Model 3 as on the Model S. I'd never thought about that, but I tend to agree...

Everything about it was AWESOME! We must have had 6 or 7 one-on-one Tesla employee interactions-- front desk clerk, then Robert, then Nate, then Alexander, then the new kid to show the features (his first day!), then more ... Every employee was absolutely wonderful. The facility is a giant...

I can't believe how dumb this will sound but I just accidentally discovered that the car will park itself after you get out of the car, if you press in the parking stalk two times. I've been using AutoPark for perpendicular and for parallel parking every chance I have, and I use Summon in the...

I selected "Hold" about 2 months ago for the Model 3 that I reserved on 31 March of 2016. It's for my daughter, and she doesn't want leather. Now I'm thinking to go ahead and place an order for the Premium Big Battery Model 3. But what about the seats? Are they fabric? Do they LOOK like...

I'm thinking a 1939 Humber Snipe. But then a 1946 or later Porsche 356 might be the one. Or Elon's crashed McLaren. Or any Bugatti. We were at the Los Angeles Tesla Motors Club event last month, to tour the Peterson Museum, and the Bugattis on the 2nd floor were stunning. So what do you...

I have the money to buy a Roadster. I bought two Model S90Ds last year. I love to use Summon in the parking lot at my job every day. I am the local sales rep for Tesla. I could continue this with a Roadster 2. But I can't go 250 mph. I can't even go 125 mph. I maybe can go 62.5 mph...

Maybe wrong discussion topic, but we are in the market for the new Roadster. Concerns: Will it be so damn big, like our Model S90Ds, that we can't park both of them in our 1960s-built garage? Another concern: 250 mph? I need to go like 30 or 40 or 50 or maybe even 60 mph to work each...

Could have had one in 4 weeks . Did I want HEAT on the seats, HEAT on the mirrors, for FIVE THOUSAND dollars more? Not so much. I live in Los Angeles area. Maybe Elon thinks we all live in Norway? What is with the loving of HEAT? How about a COOL WEATHER PACKAGE? All it would take is...

Been checking every day. 30 or so Model 3 Teslas were given out a month ago. Thinking that we have 100 or more given out now, a month after the 31 July Release? Any news on those? Any of you all have a Model 3, produced at Fremont in August?

Seriously-- how about a no paint option? Should save like 3 thousand dollars. All this time and effort and materiel and labor is spent on paint. I just now watched another YouTube video on Model S production, and it showed all this labor, and time, and 6 hours waiting for the paint to dry...

Downey and Commerce, interested in seeing their progress. I'd post pix, but google maps just shows empty space next to the Burger King. For all superchargers, can we agree, Tesla should charge going rate for electricity, like 48c a kW, during high peak times, when you charge within an hour of...

Saw the film last week.  Nice work by Chris Paine.  I'm sure he is right in assigning guilt to each of his list of suspects-- U.S. automakers, oil companies, the U.S. executive branch of government, California's Air Resource Board, the American car driver, and whoever else was on his list. ...

Check out my power company's web site:  http://www.sce.com/PowerandEnvironment/BetteringEnergyEfficiencyPowerSources/ Here's some words from that site.  The link is on the Tesla Motors site.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Southern California Edison is committed to supporting the introduction...

This car looks to me something like what Tesla is talking about for their Model 2. The Honda sold for $53,000. Only 300 were sold. As far as I know, there was no great conspiracy to keep people from buying it. Anyone know more? Thanks Vern

Anybody know who will get Tesla Roadster Number 1? Number 2? Did Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sign up for one? Has Jay Leno said anything about the Tesla? Inquiring minds want ... you know the rest. Vern
