    Loud screeching/squealing noise coming from rear wheel area

    This literally happened to me tonight. I am at my mom's house for Christmas and she has pebbly driveway. The car started making a very loud metal screeching noise. Didn't know what it was so I contacted Roadside assistance. After reading this thread, I drove down the street and aped...

    Tesla Supercharger - Acworth GA

    More photos of the new Supercharger in Acworth GA. @BlueShift I am counting 6 Supercharger cabinets and 12 stalls. Very excited to see a supercharger so close to my house, even though I obviously don't need it. I will see Teslas charging on my daily commute!

    “A specialist will contact you within 48 hours”

    Hey guys. Need some advice. I have ViN 32xxx assigned and my pickup is scheduled this Saturday 7/28. Last week, I purchased car insurance under a different company than the one I had on the Tesla portal. I sent it to my ISA last week, and when I spoke with him on Friday, he said he'd get it...

    Stop Elon From Failing Again

    You can do that, but can/will the layman? Does it though? Plenty of examples of the masses believing a carefully placed set of lies, despite being clearly contrary to the evidence.. See: Evolution and Climate Change denial. The public largely believes one thing despite of the science being...

    Tesla and Trump

    I am not sure there is any ambiguity here. Trump has said on multiple occasions, in a very clear and concise manner that he believes AGW to be a hoax, and for green initiatives to be a waste of money that he will roll back. Yes, it is possible that Tesla will survive this, they probably will...

    Leonardo DiCaprio's climate change documentary

    "Consumers prefer dealers over Tesla model"

    Even if he's right that the dealer model is better than the direct-sale model (and I am not saying he is), the only way to prove that would be to allow direct sales, let the two models compete with one another, and then see what consumers actually prefer.

    Has buying a Tesla changed your mind about Climate Change?

    Has buying a Tesla changed your mind about Climate Change?

    Evidence is evidence. The evidence of climate change is not determined by anybody. Not Al Gore, not the Pope, not the President of the United States, not even the scientists themselves have any influence. It is simply a fact that carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases, including water...

    Has buying a Tesla changed your mind about Climate Change?

    Evidence for climate change is there, whether or not you choose to believe it is up to you. This is a good video that debunks many of the arguments against climate science: With that said, I am a future Tesla owner (Model 3 reservation). But owning your car should have no bearing on whether...

    Model 3 Reservation Numbers Appearing in My Tesla

    My reservation number appeared in MyTesla this morning Model 3 RN1072xxxxx I assume the number doesn't mean anything. But still feels cool to have it. After all these years of observing the Tesla community, I will soon become part of it. (Well, 2018 or 2019ish, anyway) ;)

    Theory: 1000 deposit is to build supercharger network

    I don't think we can conclude that Supercharging is standard. From the Model 3 page, the "Supercharging capable" means to me that all the Supercharging hardware will be on the car, but you would have to pay extra to actually have the feature. Kind of like the old Model S60. As far as the...

    Elon tweets - count @ 198k & rethinking prod - east coast doomed?

    I was planning on waiting until Tesla actually started producing Model 3 cars before ordering. But with the surge of reservations, I was starting to get scared that I wouldn't be able to buy a car until mid 2019 or beyond if I didn't reserve. So I reserved today. I would anticipate getting...

    My skepticism resides on whether or not 1.5C of warming is even attainable at this point. Even if we did everything possible to move away from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the globe will still probably warm past 1.5C. That is because a certain amount of warming is "locked in" based on the...
