    Seeking advise and interest?

    While in general I agree with Hiline. I would add that some examples in findmyelectric and onlyusedTesla has been closer to 29k with similar 80k milage in the last month.

    Supercharger - Reno, NV

    I have noticed several occasions that the J1772 people just use the connectors across from that stall and in certain vehicles the connector will reach even as parked at the other side of the curb.

    Tesla loan comparison spreadsheet - auto updates hourly

    I tried that last week and their reply was: the Arts Council updated their terms recently to limit only local patrons can join Riverland. So at least for me, this in essence eliminated anyone out of area to be eligible to open Riverland FCU. It took them 5 days to respond with multiple phone...

    Does the model X make your passengers car sick?

    My family had gotten car sick from both 2nd and 3rd row on different occasions. Having a 6 seater, our working theory is that it has something to do with how far the seats are located from the center of the car rotational axis. 2nd row are pushed farther sided ways and 3rd are further back from...

    Tesla Gigafactory

    No I don't. Several of my friends do (technically also for Panasonic, I guess) but I can't speak for them. I can only try to share my perspective related to the peripheral situations.

    Tesla Gigafactory

    I agree , i doubt it would be a problem for Gigafactory people at work. It is more of a problem when they chew up your trees in the yard and leaves giant dropping on your porch, like after they return to their rental houses...you just have to lean to work with the horses. Okay, okay it is more...

    Tesla Gigafactory

    Speaking as a newer transplant here in the last 5 years. The Reno-Sparks region has experienced new construction housing boom before the gigafactory announcement but the pace has accelerated drastically since then. Apartments are in really short supply. They are in a housing competition with...

    Tesla Gigafactory

    Does your brother in-law works for the Panasonic plant that you linked above? I am curious in which metrics you define as bigger than Tesla's?

    Speculation - New charging plug?

    From the stall availability report on the S/X navigation system and the headquarters supercharger dashboard, I assume they have real-time data collection.

    Tesla Model X is and Is Not!!

    I agree with you on the subjectivity of these type of comparison. Cayenne is on the smaller side of mid/fullsize SUV though. Mercedes-Benz G-Class Length 187.6″; Wheelbase 112.2″ Porsche Cayenne Length 191.4″; Wheelbase 113.98″ BMW X5 Length 192.4″; Wheelbase 115.5″ Toyota Land Cruiser Length...

    Retractable spoiler not available for P100d

    I am fairly certain JB was referring to the difference theoretically to have a P90D with fixed spoiler. (Via computer simulation I presume, if it was ever produced internally. I am not aware of any production P90Ds to have a fixed spoiler) 2.5 miles of difference is too small for any...

    Retractable spoiler not available for P100d

    I recall somewhere along the line JB mentioned in an interview that active spoiler improves 1% range in P90D.

    Was the Model 3 Trunk Opening Changed at All?

    I agree shortened rear big window is the most likely way to increase the opening height. I just can't see that from the sighting pictures though.
  14. Q

    No AWD for Model 3 until next year confirmed

    I agree this is a possibility. Along this logic, it would also mean by the time the 3 ships to general public in meaningful numbers outside of Tesla/SpaceX employees it would be 6-9 months later (Assuming this timeline he talks about is so important to success that it's no longer in Elons time)
  15. Q

    FWD won't open and driver's door opens slightly

    My passenger side falcon wing door has similar issue before and it was the dynamat inside falcon wing door is loose. The reason of it also affected the front door is that the front door uses the falcon wing door sensor to determine how wide it can open so when it thinks falcon wing door can't...

    Model X P100D 1/4 mile Time

    I am hoping to see some laptime on a longer track like the Nurburgring to prove the factor of thermo limit are no longer an issue (I would think with tow rated radiator it would be much better).

    Chevy Bolt EV wins Green Car Reports' Best Car To Buy 2017 award

    I hope GM would market the car properly. To be fair, Mr. Voelcker mentioned earlier in the article for the Chevrolet to achieve Tesla-type of range with half the cost is remarkable only 5 years after the first Model S rolled off the line.

    Oct. 17 - Model 3 Reveal Pt. 2?

    Tesla OS Interface is 8.0. I think the autopilot 2.0 is mainly referring to the updated hardware with associated software changes.

    Which EVSE to buy now that will also work w/ Model 3

    My bad, 50 A breaker for 40 amp continue draw. On the topic of home charging infrastructure with Tesla recommendation uncertainty, I recalled that Tesla also would not recommend buying model S UMC or HPWC for model X prior to its production release. In the end there are some price drop and...

    Which EVSE to buy now that will also work w/ Model 3

    I agree with AZ. Yes, the universal mobile connector as they call it will likely come with the car and all you need is a NEMA 14-50 plug with 40 amp breaker. My opinion will be not spending a lot on a EVSE and just get a cheaper ones, even similar to this Go Cable™ is THE 20 amp J1772 portable...

    Supercharger - Reno, NV

    I imagine besides that Atlantis maybe shouldering some building costs, it could be that to avoid sand build up? How is the NM, AZ supercharging electronic housing designed in the sandy area?

    SolarEdge does not see big jump in residential batteries

    May I ask what kind of installer problem, if you don't mind. From a customer perspective what I see in Nevada is the changes implemented to net-metering has killed residential solar installation. Please note its both on solar system purchasing and leasing. This is not just Solarcity/Sunrun...

    Pure BEV Dogma

    Okay, I am lured back to break my promise of not posting in this thread...:p My point is that mold can be broken in different ways, as the term "hybrid" is being hijacked by Toyota who won't allow it to be broken from their mold. Dealing with human nature is a lot more complex then dealing with...

    I hope so, mentioned to Lennar's regional personnel and their reply is that no consumer demand.

    Pure BEV Dogma

    We will have to agree to disagree. The pure mechanical definition of EV is clear and I am not disputing that. This was why I posted my original argument on experience in the Volt thread but got diverted to this thread titled as "BEV dogma." But I digress... A "human experience" is not perfect...

    Pure BEV Dogma

    I am referring to the narrow view of "EV/Hybrid Experience" not the mechanical definition of such. There are 69 pages of the pure definition back and forth that I don't think there is any chance that either side is going to back down. I was jokingly using fish tank as an absurd reference of...

    GM Chevy Volt

    That is a very narrow view of what the definition of your "experience" is defined. To me that's very fundamentalists way of casting greater proportion on how an item is used. When the "hybrid experience" as defined as when the ICE heater (used physically) or range anxiety extinguisher is...

    any regrets on cost?

    I echo CmdrThor, financially a Model X almost never makes sense. I would think of the reasons why Prius doesn't cut it for you and then choose the vehicles that is right for you base on those answers.

    Rear spoiler ?

    I appreciate your response, now I have to figure out a way to convince my service center it is an issue that can be fixed. BTW, I did the reset-like technique in the reset thread and now my FAS doesn't wag its tail occasionally as it was before.

    Rear spoiler ?

    Mine does the same thing as Gwgan that is fully up after unlock then at 45mph went all the way down and cycled all the way back up again. No aero position at all after the OTA 2.20.45. Not fixed after subsequent 3 updates and my service center manager said they never heard of any reset...

    Included Mats in the Model X?

    No, I was under the impression that only the very early VIN 6 seater that was delivered with 7 seater mats. If you got that but delivered recently. Talk to your service center to make it right. My vin is in the 2000 range and mine comes with 6 seater mats.

    TMC Connect 2016

    :(Wow, just got yell at by a hot head in a red S in convention center parking lot with racially charged slur. Hopefully not a member here. While it is human nature to insist one is always right, that does not make it right to throw around stereotypical accusations...:mad:

    Carpool to gigafactory opening from Reno please

    No response from Tesla yet. @ Tardis. This is probably the only time I wish to have 7 seats. I am OK with doing 2 runs, time permitting. From my calculation, unless we have the your guest in smugglers mode (sit on the floor) we will have to do third run...

    Carpool to gigafactory opening from Reno please

    Never been to any Tesla event so not sure if there is a typical routine. Can you go out and get back in after initial checking in? I plan on taking 6 initially. From Atlantis/convention center heading east to Gigafactory site typically is 30~35 minutes maybe add 5 more minutes for typical...

    First Post - Help me decide X vs SQ7 vs Range Rover Sport

    I only had older X5 to compare it with. In my opinion, interior quality is a composition of the trim pieces quality and the assembly quality. My X was delivered during the end of 1st quarter rush. Fortunatly my copy actually has a pretty good interior assembly quality. I don't have any rattle...

    Is this call legit?

    Add to Utahken's point. It's not just any solaredge model inverter. I was told it has to be a SE7600 manufactured after December 2015 in order to be compatible with Solaredge firmware update to bring it to able to accept powerwall. I have a Solaredge but wrong year and model so we will have to...
