    Texting from car.

    I have exactly the same problem! Have you learned anything new? Found any solutions? My texting function worked fine in my previous car (model 3), just as yours did. I have an android Samsung Galaxy S22. I have spent literally several hours collectively on the phone with Tesla tech support...

    May Reject MXP Delivery Today

    Loved your disco ball reference. And so very apt. In truth, the BMW i7 actually had strips of prismatic crystal glass and several of the levers were the same glass. It was way too gaudy for me or my wife. I'm sure it did well in focus groups and I'm sure there are many luxury buyers that like...

    May Reject MXP Delivery Today

    I guess it totally depends on what's important to you. Agreed BMW or Mercedes or Audi have xlnt build quality and Tesla needs some help in that area. But I recently went through the process of comparing all their top EV's (BMW i7, MB 580 and Audi GT) and IMNSHO none were even close to the Tesla...

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

    Maybe we'd get a CEO that wasn't setting the house on fire.

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

    I was merely stating a fact. His power on the board is pretty complete. Would you disagree?

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

    I don't disagree at all about Wall St. But with Elon's shares, and the shares of his family and friends, he's pretty close to being able to appoint whoever he wants.

    Blog Musk Touts ‘Quantum Leap” in Full Self-Driving Performance

    I understand some of the anger because FSD isn't here yet, but seriously? It seems like no one has ever written software or designed hardware, let alone both. I know many of us have written or built stuff, and you should know it doesn't always happen as quickly as you think. And do you remember...

    I absolutely Love driving my Tesla

    Definitely love my M3P, and when I've had to drive an ICE, it's just so primitive. Can't imagine ever even considering an ICE in the future. And for now, any other EV but Tesla. Have you driven a Bolt? Or a BMW i3? Or the Jaguar iPace? None of them are even in the same league as Tesla. It's not...

    How many model 3s will take deliver in q1

    Model 3 production should be up but deliveries will be down. Bloomberg's chart shows nearly 60,000 manufactured so far in Q1 at 5688/week. BUT, shipments to Europe and China will dramatically cut into actual deliveries. I would think there will be a month between transit and customs.

    3 LR AWD vs. Model S 100D vs 3P (performance differences)

    I don't have experience with the 100D, I originally bought a Model S 85 in 2013, and then a P85 in 2014. There was a very noticeable difference in acceleration. My wife got a Model 3 LR RWD, and it was noticeably slower than my P85. But like you, I had always driven smaller cars, and the Model...

    Parked next to my friend’s Vette...

    On Sept 30, they had the Roadster 2020 on display at the Tesla Design Center on the SpaceX campus in Hawthorne, CA. They were using it as a venue for Delivery for the boatload of Tesla's sold that day. I was admiring the Roadster when this big tall guy came over and introduced himself as Franz...

    Blog Jaguar Delivers First I-PACE In U.S. – Owner Not A Fan Of Tesla’s Style

    If he's had that many Jaguars, I wonder what his regular car is? The one he uses when the Jaguar is in the shop.

    tires at costco

    I had all four tires replaced at the Costco in Van Nuys, CA. The tire guy didn't flinch and knew exactly what to do. Replaced with the exact same tires as the original: Michelin 245/45R19. Cost was about 25% cheaper at Costco than the Tesla Service Center 2.5 miles away. But there was no coffee...

    Change log for Model S?

    I'm trying to find a list of changes and when they happened. I seem to remember reading a thread a few years ago listing changes and the dates they happened ??? but I can't find it now. I read through the thread "How has the Model S changed since the debut?" and there were some links, but all...

    Am I the only one who couldn't care less if my Model 3 headliner is cloth instead of fake suede?

    Me too. Until reading all the complaints, I hadn't noticed anything about the headliner. There are so many differences between the S and the 3, I guess headliner never even entered our thoughts.

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    Maybe I don't understand it, but I would seriously question that chart. For January - November, it shows Model S and Model X sales totalling 40,100 for both. I think I've read Tesla has delivered 73,000 through September. Does it make sense they've delivered only 40K through November if they're...

    Even more discussions about Model 3 and Tesla competition

    We own a Model 3 and Model S and used to own a Nissan Leaf. I've driven a BMW i3, a Mercedes B200, a Chevy Bolt and a Ford Focus Electric. To compare these cars is to compare something designed, engineered and built in Silicon Valley to something from Detroit or Munich. None of these cars can...

    It's an H. No idea when it was made. But I'm sure of the VIN and when I got it :) I wonder if they made an delivered a lot after mine?

    Two days with Model 3 impressions/review- This is not a mini model S

    What shokunin wrote! I think the point shokunin made about the trunk is very telling. The 3 trunk opens and closes like most cars. Muscle power. Nothing wrong with that. But the S is very elegant and powered. Both when you click and it opens to pushing the button to make it close. The more...

    Two days with Model 3 impressions/review- This is not a mini model S

    We took delivery of a Model 3 four days ago, and I've owned a Model S for nearly five years. My current P85 is 3.5 years old. So it doesn't have AutoPilot. The Model 3 is a great compact car. It's light. It's very nimble and handles turns beautifully. It has a great turning radius. It...

    I was there yesterday about 7pm. One stall was being used when I arrived, and after eating at Chili's, it was gone and a Model X was charging. I was getting 332 in stall 1A :)

    Charging at Golf Courses

    Thanks for the suggestion Andre. I can approach them but if they put in a Level 2 J-1772 there's a whole flock of other cars that can charge. With destination charging, does Tesla require a 50amp or greater line for the HPWC?

    Charging at Golf Courses

    Seems like a natural. You're going to be parked for 4 or 5 hours. Since a charging station isn't all that expensive, you'd think golf courses would want to offer it as an incentive to play there. I only know of one location where there's chargers. The Los Angeles City owned courses at...

    How long is your wait at a supercharger?

    I have visited 38 different Superchargers and have never waited. I've charged 5 times at Barstow (before it was expanded) and twice at San Juan Capistrano. When I traveled cross country, I only saw one other Tesla charging between Colorado and New Jersey. re: Model III, I wasn't aware Tesla had...

    Supercharger stations

    At a Supercharger, twin chargers have nothing to do with speed of charging. Twin chargers only come into play if your charging at a 220 line (Nema 14-50, Level 2 J1772, etc.) that is more than 40 amps, i.e. a HPWC. Charging at a supercharger is very fast up until about 220 miles of rated range...
