    100% this is announcement of iPhone 12 series w/ 5G. There is 0% chance Apple announces anything related to a car next week. Zero.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    That’s because this forum is pretty much an echo chamber. It should be renamed: Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 TSLA LONG Investors' OPTIMISTIC Roundtable (Bears, Shorts, and Realistic Expectations Not Welcome Here) :D Joking. Kind of. :p

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Well, if you believe "they" want TSLA at $445-$450 and can manipulate the SP to end where "they" want, I'd hold out for a little more profit. See? Up another $2 since you posted! (2:09 pm) EDIT: Now up another $1! (2:10 pm)

    Stocks go up, stocks go down. Investing 101. :cool: Also, TSLA is volatile and goes up and down for no readily apparent reason(s).

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Yep. If you can buy $1 million in TSLA you're *just* a millionaire. :D You have to have PROFITED $1 million+ in TSLA stock/options to be a "Teslanaire". I would also suggest that you cannot have had more than $1 million in liquid assets before investing in TSLA to be considered a...

    FINDING A PREVIOUS OWNER???

    There is no reason you need to talk to the previous owner of the car. You didn't buy it from them. You bought it from Tesla. Ask Tesla any questions you have. P.S. This is creepy.

    Nope. I simply don't trust Auto Open and Auto Close to do what it is supposed to do when it is supposed to do it.

    iPhone maintains connectivity but keeps losing text message synch

    Yep, have the same issue. Not sure which update introduced the bug, but it's not fixed in 2020.24.6.1. Not aware of any solution - I'm just doing without text notifications for now.

    back up camera updates - unimpressed

    That’s all well and good and an OK work around but it’s still an annoying and unnecessary extra step. I don’t see why in the “full screen” view they couldn’t have just left the top bar viewable - doesn’t take up more than 1/4” along the top of the screen. Obviously since we are discussing it...

    back up camera updates - unimpressed

    Yep and it pisses me off. Now I have to back out, put it in drive, and then hit the Homelink to close garage door instead of being able to hit it right after I clear garage opening but while still backing up. It's a PITA now. No fix that I'm aware of. Just sloppy implementation.

    2020.20.12 Unlocked additional range up to a "long range plus"

    So I decided to do a full 100% charge overnight after I wrote the above post. I can confirm that my November 2019 Long Range Model S at 100% charge displayed in car range of 405 miles after charging. Apparently, all of the required hardware upgrades for "Long Range Plus" were in place by at...

    2020.20.12 Unlocked additional range up to a "long range plus"

    My Model S Long Range, that I took delivery of on Nov. 2019, recently indicated in the car info that it is “Long Range Plus” after a software update. I only charge to 80%, which has been 315 miles. That would put my 100% charge at about 393 miles, which is 20 miles over the 373 miles it was...

    unique potential purchase situation-questions

    A) He’s your “best friend” B) He owes $52k on the car C) You don’t want to pay more than $56k Seems to me a “fair amount for both parties” would be $52k-$56k. You two work it out from there. CarMax IS going to be well below $52k.

    Progressive rating for MS: no blind spot warning

    I have Progressive Insurance and a Model S on my policy. I have no such “surcharge”. Also, Progressive had no issues whatsoever adding the Tesla to my policy, which went up about $50/month going from a 2015 Lexus 450h to a 2020 Tesla Model S. Full Disclosure: I have Progressive Home, Auto...

    New long range won’t charge past 361 (instead of 373)

    Does this contract you entered into guarantee you over-the-air free software improvements? Every additional feature/functionality you got from software updates after your car was delivered to you are not what you purchased. You are getting MORE than was advertised. Constantly. How about if...

    New long range won’t charge past 361 (instead of 373)

    Personally, I think it would be ridiculous to return the car because it charges to 10 miles less than advertised (about 3%). Seriously, how many of you would NOT have purchased a Model S LR if the advertised range was 362? Even if they were to change the listed range, they are NOT going to...

    New long range won’t charge past 361 (instead of 373)

    Similar here on 11/2019 built Model S Long-Range. I charge to 80% on a regular basis, which stops charging at 290 miles. When I did charge once to 100%, it stopped at 362 Miles. The 80% charge to 290 miles is consistent with the 100% charge to 362 miles (80% of 362 miles is 290 miles).

    Best Model S Interior Colors?

    Honestly, I really thought it would be "too white" and had pretty much discounted it as an option. But when I saw it in person, with black headliner/carpets/trim/etc., it looks really sharp. No one who has seen my car and sat in it has said "Wow, that's really white". I've gotten nothing but...

    Best Model S Interior Colors?

    I went with the white w/ dark ash because I hated the the look of the oak. Looked really cheap to me. If they offered Cream w/ Dark Ash or Carbon Fiber I would have been all over that. I really don't understand why they restrict you to specific combinations. The seats/panels/headliner are...

    When in 2020 to get a Model S... Check my thinking

    This is one of, if not THE primary reason I ordered a Raven Model S last month. I cannot stand the Model 3 interior and if they were to change the S interior to be more like the Model 3 interior I probably would not have purchased a Model S. I really hope they leave the things in the Model S...

    Is Tesla changing warranty terms again, reducing coverage retroactively? [Website Error]

    As posted in the other thread on this topic: If they want to change it for NEW PURCHASES going forward, fine. It goes against what Elon said, but what else is new? They CANNOT change it retroactively to cars already purchased. Period. That’s illegal.

    Delivery etiquette question

    Tesla employees are paid. They are not providing you a “service” that would justify a “tip”. Tipping Tesla employees for doing the job they are paid to do and delivering you the car you purchased is completely unwarranted.

    Premium Connectivity & Warranty

    I took a screenshot of that for posterity in case this isn’t a mistake. I guarantee someone will start a Class Action if they try to retroactively change the Warranty on already purchased cars.

    Premium Connectivity & Warranty

    Gotta be a mistake on the Warranty. They cannot retroactively change the Warranty Terms on cars that have already been purchased. Moving forward? Yes. Telling owners that their 8 year, Unlimited Miles is now 8 year, 120,000 miles? No way they can legally do that.

    $10 Month for Premium Connectivity

    There appears to be. Just looked at my account (have not received any email yet). It says I have free Premium until 11/29/2020. I picked up my 2020 MS LR on 11/30/2019.

    Return 2020 MS LR after front motor broke coming home from Delivery?

    RETURN IT. If the front motor blew out after less then 100 miles, who knows what other possible problems might exist with that car. I’d take that as an omen of a lemon and get rid of it while you still can. Not to mention the obvious cosmetic issues that already exist.

    Pros and cons of Model S Long Range AWD vs Model 3 Long Range AWD

    I would argue the reason is preparation for Full Self Driving/Autonomy. The cost difference between a 15" screen and 17" screen is minimal. With Full Self Driving/Autonomy, you don't need an instrument cluster and won't need to look at your screen much while driving (e.g., to check speed...

    Pros and cons of Model S Long Range AWD vs Model 3 Long Range AWD

    I’ll add a couple of subjective things that made me go with the Model S over a Model 3. 1) The styling of the Model S is a lot nicer than the Model 3 (IMO). It’s a beautiful car. 2) 17” Portrait screen integrated into the dash (Model S) vs. 15” Landscape Screen floating away from the dash...

    Just picked up. Car was in perfect condition. Arrival to out the door in about 45 minutes. Wanted them to transfer plates so they had to change that in the paperwork. So excited! I keep going out to the garage and sitting in it playing around. LOL
