How much of this road noise is relative? I mean, are others not hearing road noise because the mechanical ICE noises mask it? No engine noise, so I wonder if the unmasked road noise just seems louder or if it actually is.

Aloha All, Is there a consensus here about whether FSD makes sense to buy for Oahu driving? I am trying to decide whether it's worth adding now (or ever) for the M-Y. Interested in perspectives from those who chose to do it (unless it was a money-is-no-object sort of choice) and those who...

OK, Let me add one more uncertainty to the calculus here... When HW3 came out, it was upgraded for free for those with FSD, correct? A new computer is under development, purported to be 3X performance. If one has FSD when it's released, maybe it will be upgraded without added charge. Buying...

The other brands won't have a HW3 equivalent for years, though, so a huge piece of their struggle. Also won't have the data. Tesla is likely to have a significant structural competitive advantage for years to come. And I think you're right that this will more likely come down in price as it...

I understand all cars now come with HW3, and are endowed with all the hardware for FSD. Does that mean that the upgrade is just a software switch/upgrade over the air, and that there is no other hardware required if I don't buy it up front? 1. I like driving. I think I'll LOVE driving this...

OK, it looks like he's going to be named "Herb-Y the Love Bug" (Love BEV is still sort of in the running--what's your vote (BEV v Bug)?

Living near the beach, we've found rubberized/all-weather floor liner with raised edge contours invaluable for dealing with sand & wet gear. In our minivan, though, our mat is a contoured, full-sized beast in the back, and we can only use it when not using 3rd row seats. For 3rd row in use, we...

Wow, these really do look fantastic.

I see a lot of Teslas around with no front plate mounted. I like the look, but wonder how these pass safety inspection. Aren't front plates required by law and checked in safety inspection? Tips on this?

I'm torn between the ironic (something like Bertha or Agnes), or a tribute (Ada). But my leading name at the moment is Nicky (Nikola - Y). The only other car I've named was my 1970 Datsun 240Z ("Jake"), but this definitely feels like it REQUIRES a meaningful name.

I have been reading about "coming" Supercharger for I think 2 years now. I'm sure we'll have some on Oahu some time this decade. Anyone have any credible update on that? Is there any option to charge at Tesla showroom at Ala Moana?

Same with my local showroom. My bet would be the Model S gets the boot. They do have a back area, so maybe they'll punch through that wall and show the whole S3XY lineup.

What is typical timing for models to show up in the stores? Will they keep them to the waitlist only for a while, or will showrooms get Model Y soon, too? Anyone know how this went down in for the Model 3?

What about charging networks to join? Is there any downside to joining charging networks?

Thanks. We're renting, so can't install a new plug. The current service would do the trick, but not through the current panel (as I understand it). I've approached the property manager to discuss a solar project with the owner, as I think that could be VERY win/win. If that happens, we'll...

I've got a carport 110v plug, but no EV charger. What is your strategy for that situation? I figure that I: 1. charge it at night to +/- keep up with commute demand, and 2. top it off from time to time at ??? when it falls behind or for extra driving, which I hope to do a fair bit. 3. Buying...
