    Teslas for Females - Practicality vs Fun?

    She's not alone. We'd been planning to switch to an EV anyway, but if it had been solely up to me I'd have gone for the cheaper cars over the 3. For the vast majority of things that *I* use it for, something half the price would do just as well. Of course, I would most likely have spent the...

    Teslas for Females - Practicality vs Fun?

    Clickbait. Not only does he state women shouldn't be treated monolithically while doing just that, he cites analysts and gives no link to the raw data or the methodology used. It's unclear whether the registration statistics take into account cars registered under two names, how it compares to...

    Pros and Cons of Owning a Tesla

    All my pros have been covered already. My biggest con is that it's very hard now to drive an ICE vehicle. I have to re-adjust myself to the dials and gauges, the gearshift, the lack of a backup camera, and I have been known to stand outside our truck pulling on the door handle and waiting for...

    Help, One Electrician Wanted To Charge $1500

    Sounds like a scam to me. We paid $800 for a guy to re-route a line, and my parents are paying around $500 to bring a line up from the basement. It did not void our warranty. We're in CO, though, and we needed a permit. It cost about $30 and came from the county. I don't know what the...

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    I would appreciate something like this. I accidentally opened the front passenger window a bit once (must have hit the button without realizing it) and when I came back the seat was covered with snow. It wasn't a huge inconvenience and nothing got damaged, but it still would have been nice if...

    How Can I Politely Decline Speaking To Strangers About My Car?

    Sorry, I read through before replying and forgot that you'd said they'd block you in sometimes. If they do that, I would say something along the lines of, "I won't talk to anyone who's forced me to stay," and then tell them that you're getting in your car and if they don't let you out in a few...

    How Can I Politely Decline Speaking To Strangers About My Car?

    I'm usually happy to talk to people, but sometimes it's just possible or I don't feel like talking. I just say, "Any other time I would, but right now isn't a good time." Then I suggest tesla.com or one of the other forum sites. I've been considering printing out a short FAQ with my answers and...

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    VW GTI, don't remember the year. We were holding out for the 35k version, but the VW fell apart so we decided to just get the M3 rather than fix it. Still have a Suburban that mostly sits in the driveway and collects pine cones, and a motorcycle.

    Two Drivers, One Car: Access Differences Between Accounts

    The sharing is already set up; I am able to drive with my phone, and am a secondary contact on my spouse's account. I apologize if that wasn't clear in the original post. The issue is that my account is not able to do the same things with the car that theirs is, namely manage, schedule service...

    Two Drivers, One Car: Access Differences Between Accounts

    When my spouse logs into their Tesla account, there's a little box that says "Model 3," has the VIN, a little picture of the car, and a Manage button as well as a referral link. When I log into mine, I don't have any of that; just a pictures of an S, X, and Powerwall with a couple of buttons to...

    Model 3 stinks ....

    I hear you. We also have a Suburban, and every time I have to drive it now there's an adjustment period. The cab is so high up! What do all these dials and gauges do? Why doesn't it just *go* when I step on the accelerator? --m
