Don't believe that would worry me.

Have cream seats, and they clean up easily. Have not seen any stains, even from Blue Jeans. Please be observant for your individual circumstance and take action quickly if you see them getting dirty or stained. Tesla service has products they use to clean seats. Contact them to see what they...

Believe Boeing strategly builds their planes and rockets in various Congressional districts to gain political cover and support at a National level. No congress person wants them to leave their districts, so they lobby for Boeing. They get wings from one place, fusilages from another, still...

Think Elon is better and smarter than most. Seems that he can do a thousand things right, but if he does one thing you disagree with, you will focus on that one thing and say he is terrible.

Insane mode on my X significantly increases throttle response and max acceleration. Makes the car feel much stronger.

Believe the ultimate benefits of FSD will happen when most all the cars can not only react to their video systems, but also communicate with other FSD vehicles and drive on roadways redesigned to take advantage and support all those systems. Will be like Autopia at Disneyland. Some will still...

Interesting how efficiently and effectively our American system of politics has fleshed out all these issues, and shone a light on the capabilities and weaknesses of our candidates. People are a bit more aware of who and why they are casting their votes. The ball is now in the Democrats to...

Cybertruck on a tight autocross course would initially be considered a fish out of water. Heavy, with large off road tires would normally be considered a disaster. Taking a 2nd look, a good driver could take advantage of the instant massive torque out of the corners, strong brakes, backed up by...

While the styling change will have different opinions on looks, it is designed to offer better aerodynamic benefits, speed/cost of construction and better pedestrian safety. Most (but not all) feel the new styling is fresher and more stylish. Duck nose is gone.

Tesla is a cashless company. Elon was raised on PayPal. Taking cash is a huge hassle for a large company. While your fear of Credit Card fraud is real, Tesla has tons of safeguards in place to process your payments descretly. Tesla will also not take cash for new vehicle purchases. All must be...

I do not consider Tesla predictions for future products as lies, but as rolling out their plans and objectives. Many of these predictions are for products that do not exist yet, but expectations of an optimistic leader. The case could be made that if Elon was not optimistic in nature, all these...

Had my pealing yoke replaced about 4 months ago, under warranty. Seems like nicer quality. Have not had the need to use the center horn button sense. I can go for years without needing to blow my horn to anybody.

Tesla is aware that issues like this will come up from time to time, so givers 5 strike warnings prior to turning it off. This is a learning period for the owners, so they will learn the capabilities of their systems. Having one strike is not a biggie. It just grabs the awarness of the driver.

I always charge to 100% prior to a long trip. Gives me more options as when to do my first on the road Superchage.

If Tesla does not have an answer to you, they have little motivation to contact you and go back over everything. If they have a resolution, they will reach out to you. They want to deliver your car as much as you want to take delivery.

OP is talking about charging at home 240V charger, not at a SuperCharger. They taper effect is much less when your charging current is relatively low.

Seems like using Nuclear would be problematic as the prevaling winds would sweep atmospheric fallout into Russia.

Model S is better looking, rides smoother on air suspension that can also raise and lower the car. It is quieter, more powerful, longer range, better sound system, more room for comfort, very handy hatch back design for carrying more stuff, can tow, has all aluminum frame and construction...

Time to get it to a mechanic.

If you are looking at economics, simply keeping your Tesla for another year would be best financially. After another year, take another look at what is available. Tesla Model 3 Performance is a dependable and fun ride. If you are buying for emotional reasons the Lotus could be your new love, or...

A real game changer would be if the US sent stealth technology to Ukraine. They would be able to inflict significant destruction to Russian territory. Stealth fighters, bombers, cruise missiles etc could strike most anywhere.

Good point. Biggest needs for China is energy, water, food, weapons, technology and oil. Easiest way for them to become self sufficient would be to take those lands, next to them, from Russia. The main reason Japan waged war against America is that we cut off their essential oil supplies

I believe it it Trump's position that Putin did not invade Ukraine when he was President, and that he would not have invaded if he was re-elected again as well. NATO excuse does not hold water. NATO nations have never invaded another non-NATO country. They use their combined military strength...

Conventional RVs are often purchased with similar flawed logic. Retiree cashes out his home, and buys a traveling RV. Sleeps overnights at free Wallmarts etc. Spend daylight hours adventuring and seeing the USA. After a few years he has had enough, and wants to go back to his old neighborhood...

Seems like every vehicle has a sweet spot for one parameter or another. Some will corner at over 1G, have a huge range, carry/tow a lot, be fun to drive, connect with the vehicle, have great looks, inexpensive to run, fast on a track, fit in a garage, lots of charging stations, prestige...

I live in a golf cart community. Lots of residents use their carts for travel inside. Of course we use them to play golf, but also to visit friends, shop at the local shopping center, go out to dinner, down to the pickle ball, basketball or tennis courts. We haul our paddleboards or kayaks down...

Dual pane side windows are more designed to reduce outside envirionmental noises from getting into interior. Not so much effective at reducing wind noise, that seeps through gaskets. This aside, the new Model 3 is much quieter inside than the previous design.

Often, when glitches show up in an update, they are fixed in subsequent updates.

ICE vehicles can also catch fire, if their fuel tanks are pierced. Newer Tesla battery packs are designed to reduce this issue. Foam insulation is also placed around each cell in the newer configurations.

Tesla wants to keep the reservation lists strong. Don't want them to switch to other options due to far away delivery dates. All the Cybertruck owners I have met seemed very satisfied with their purchases.

Why would anyone care enough to post how someone elses truck looks? Vette owners called Vipers, Clown Shoes. Porsche owners called Vettes, Tupperware.

FSD currently does not drive to please every owner. It will do things differently than an agressive human would, but the take away is that it does get the job done. Gets you to your chosen destination without crashing and close to the predicted time. It may make you feel uncomfortable or do...

Biggest issue seems to be that Lucid sells their cars below their cost of production, losing $ on every car they sell. Tesla sells at market leading profits and are very profitable for the company. Seems like Tesla will have a much better chance of surviving the competitive days ahead. Tesla...

This bass heavy approach is what typical buyers want from their car stereos. Solid bass is more desirable by most, than a purely accurate rendition. easy to adjust out the heavy bass if you wish.

Uber drivers will love this location.

All communication has an agenda. Just using "posting the truth" as a cover up.

Using glue, instead of fasteners, will make it unserviceable in the future.

History has shown us that "free money" is rarely beneficial. People become dependend on this dole and fearful that it will end. They lose their pride and independance. Stop being productive and lives without accomplishment lose meaning. Lots of stories of people blowing through vast lottery...

Not sure what would be the benefit to the OP by optimizing the weight of his brakes, compared to the cost and change of feeling he will experience with very expensive Ceramic rotors. Maybe better to just purchase some lighter weight rims or tires.

Since the very beginning, there have been lots of posts showing how heavy rain, or water on the road will decrease range. As you drive, your computer will let you know how your range is decreasing, and recommend earlier charging stops. Headwinds, elevation changes, speed, towing, heavy loads...

Believe you are way overthinking this.

When you plug in your Tesla, the center display and your app. will show your charging rate and estimated time till complete the charge to your set level.

Get the new car. They charge faster, have lots of updates and improvements. Max acceleration is the only benefit (although significant) to the plaid. New model X will still come with Chetah launch and ludicris standard.

Sounds like sellers are done with the car, and are offering it at a bargain price to avoid doing all the work to make it perfect.

If you owned a company and one of your managers refused your direction, would you keep her?

Word to the wise. If you are out "testing" your autopilot, and see a large boulder on the road, take over manually and avoid the bolder.

When Pearl Harbor was sneak attacked by the Japanese, American fought back with terrible vengence. We fought and killed until they were unable to attack anymore. Israel is just doing the same thing. People and countries are allowed to fight back when targeted and attacked. They need to protect...

With Tesla, there is always something new on the horizon. Buy a new car when you need a new car.

Most Florida electricity rates are much lower than the National average. Just check your electricity bill to determing the rate plan you are on, and charge accordingly.

Believe the Tesla roofs are coated to repel UV. Tesla recommends agains the use of rain repellants, especially on the windshield.
