I was told that big data, AI, blockchain and nano-particles would solve the problem. :)

True that. Worlds most expensive Atari console!

Can't tell from the pictures what is actually damaged but as Sprandt23 mentioned, you can get to $10K+ in damages pretty quickly with what appear to be relatively minor "wounds".

I will add that there is also a switched 12v supply available from the cable harness in the back of the rear view mirror. You need to tap into the top wire in the din connector but the wire can be fed from the same panel where the continuous 12v supply is available so the wiring looks just as...

Good for you taking this on. Please keep us updated.

If Elon told investors that it would take 24-36 months to get things right then the stock would be worth about two thirds of its current price within a day. Unfortunately we live in a world where investors have very short attention spans and as long as the markets allow Elon to keep making...

You are right. You can take the car to any body shop you want but Tesla will only sell certain parts to shops that they approve.

Well I fear that the development effort right now is in the model 3 firmware. I think that if Tesla delivered what they now call EAP with the model 3 then a good portion of those 500K pre-orders would ask for their deposits back.

I think that the key here is that "the car was out of warranty". Honestly, I have come across very few dealerships that will provide a free premium loaner for an out of warranty repair.

I don't think that anyone expected EAP to be perfect the day it was released, but the slow pace of improvement certainly is cause for concern. Tesla developers are working on 3 versions of AP (including the model 3) so you have to wonder if resources are spread a little thin. My big worry is...

You could very well be right, but a reminder that you have one side of the story.

Most people would have learned after the first time :) I happen to live in a town where we have an idiot Mayor who believes that every car will be self-driving by 2020 so there is no need to maintain parking as it won't be needed anymore. If nothing else Tesla is proving that we are still a...

If he had spent his money on a car rather than losing it shorting TSLA stock then he would be much happier :-)

^ Well if the gauges reported low then someone would want to sue over that claiming that they had higher evaporation due to having to buy more fuel! You can sue anyone for anything, you don't even have to have a logical argument. Got to love how the system works. Of course what the lawyers...

Hmmm. Sounds a little fishy to me. If he signed an NDA then presumably it would cover the existence of the entire agreement and not just the price.

Agreed. I often wonder if the people complaining actually own cars and if they do if they can read. When I activated my car there was a big disclaimer telling me (words to the effect of) that the software was BETA and that I should keep my hands on the wheel at all times and remain alert. If I...

I had a $12K hit to my car and Tesla took it on trade at full value. As long as the repair was professionally done and was not structural then why would anyone care?

That is the whole point of posting these fake stories. Far easier to get people to trade stock out of fear. There is an entire industry dedicated to making profits off of fake stock news and reviews. The only thing that stands out with this attempt is how poorly done it is.

Tesla stock hit a new high this morning. Whenever that happens shorters flood to the forums to relate their 'problems' and 'horror stories'. Don't even waste time responding to them.

If you have the time and the patience you can do an adequate job of this yourself by using filler, touch up paint, clear coat and polish as others have suggested. Lots of youtube videos to show you how and what to use. Contrary to what some of the products themselves claim, it is not a quick or...

That is a real mistake given that the flat rate is 520kr or about $70 US! Thing to bear in mind in Stockholm is that different taxi co's charge different rates. You have to look at the side door of the car to see what the rate is before you jump in.

I have said this before and sadly it is based on experience.There is a large short position (> 30M shares) against Tesla yet the stock price is near a 52 week high. When this happens you start to see all sorts of fake stories and posts about problems at Tesla and issues with vehicles in an...

What are you complaining about? You bought the S60 for far less than the S75 at the time and now you can upgrade for a fraction of the original differential. Even if you choose not to upgrade, everyone has figured out by now that you can charge your S60 to 100% (since it is a 75 battery...

Agreed. I have had a call from the dealership towards warranty expiry on every car I have ever owned. It take a lot less effort to sell a product to an existing customer than finding a new one.

Why not wait the day to see what they do before creating the thread in the first place or spend your energy dealing with someone who can actually solve your problem?

Good news, you are incorrect in your assessment. I traded in my pre-AP1 car in December 2016 and I received a very fair trade in value from Tesla. I think that all of these valuation concerns are way overblown.

I haven't been able to use AP2 for more than 5 minutes without the car trying to kill me but then I saw the fate of the Furious so I think I know what is happening!

Someone offers you a price for your stock at a premium to its current value and the stock price goes up. Funny how that happens!

You would have to own a Tesla to sue! This is getting tiring, a few people set up new aliases every few months and start posting rubbish. When they eventually get called out they just turn around and start with new names. Best to ignore.

I think that it is straight forward. If Tesla has identified self driving technology as a key market differentiator and core competitive competency going forward then it simply makes sense to bring the technology in-house and lessen reliance on a 3rd party. Happens all of the time.

Sorry Mike the tires just sold to a local buyer here in Victoria.

Bear in mind that Tesla will only sell certain parts to authorized repair shops. You will want to make sure that you get an estimate from one of those if you go that route.

If you take your car into a tire shop they will tell you to replace the tire as a safety precaution and to avoid any liability. If you walked into the same tire shop without the car and asked them if their own tire had a chunk out of it that didn't expose the radial band then they would tell you...

In order not to use AP he would need to own a Tesla! Likely a paid basher by an organization who has a large short position on the stock. Short interest is near its all time high and folks are panicking as the price rises. Watch for more and more of this to occur.

I think that the authorized repair centres that Tesla has chosen are good and I have had no issues with quality. In my opinion though there are not enough of them and the ones that exist are very busy. The best way to keep costs fair and delays minimized is to have competition. I am sure that...

According to Wikipedia, the curb weight on an S is between 4300 and 4900 lbs depending on battery size. That is still very heavy but in line with many luxury vehicles.

Even cars that I have purchased that have spare tires have 'emergency spares' which are not full size and which are usually recommend for 40-50 miles or less. If you are travelling, the issue isn't the 40-50 miles to a tire shop, it is usually finding a shop that actually stocks a tire that fits...

Amazing that for someone who hates Tesla as much as he/she clearly does that they rent an X and have a '3' on order :-)

The cover for the tow hitch is in that area. If we are talking the same thing it might just not be seated properly.

I think that people are reading a lot into an off the cuff comment made by Elon. If at some point a second CPU is required and the car is not already provisioned for it then I would expect that Tesla would provide the necessary upgrade for those people who paid for FSD. It is not like the extra...

I don't think that it is anything that Tesla has done, a couple of tire manufactures have been offering these tires for a while now. They can be fixed by grinding or removing the sound deadening material but a lot of tire shops still won't touch them for repair.

Don't be too quick to complain. Those of us who were S early adopters would get an annual gift from Elon followed shortly thereafter by a notice of a price increase :-)

My 2005 Maserati still has a nag warning whenever you activate the display. I wouldn't count on Tesla's going away any time soon!

I completely understand your frustration and I certainly think you should have the option of a refund or moving your deposit to another car. What impressed me though is that they disclosed everything to you up front. I don't know your age or experience purchasing vehicles but trust me in saying...

And our $.08 and $.12 are in Canadian dollars :-)

I find the running a fridge and the smart meter itself are enough to trigger the step 2 rates!

If your warranty is expiring and you are concerned about maintenance why not just purchase the 4 year extended warranty?

Since I bought an inventory car just before Christmas I was checking the site daily. You are right that the P100's were discounted. I think that if you looked at the details of the cars that appeared to be discounted substantially more than $10K you would find that features were disabled and the...

Agreed. IF A2Sirbill has a legitimate issue then I certainly hope that he/she gets it resolved quickly. Join the board Dec 26th, take delivery of a car on the 30th and then start posting inflammatory headlines and comments 4 business days after the scratch / dent was recognized? That is hardly...

I compared ICBC to 3rd party coverage when I purchased my car last month and the private insurance was substantially more. The difference however is that I live in Victoria and ICBC generally has lower rates for folks who live outside of Vancouver.
