I can't really, it's in a garage on another property with bad cellphone reception, I just checked in the other day and it happened to be charging and I hadn't started it doing so. Seems I'm going to have to find another longterm solution here, and that my experiment didn't really work. But at...

Well apparently I can't leave it on standard mode because it will continually start charging for no reason. I turned off scheduled charging and yet half the time when I check on the car, it's charging. Sigh.

Never ended up getting one, was kind of asking for curiosity. I do need to replace the headunit but I'm also considering selling the car, so might just let the next owner do it.

Nope, the car's at the beach. Gets warm sometimes but never all that hot. Currently 77º 👍 Probly going to charge it up to 55-ish and then leave it there but on storage mode, see what kind of daily drain I get. Usually get around .5% per day drain when I have it unplugged and charged to that...

Yes, the location the car is in only has 120v. I guess I'm just going to manually charge it at this point.

Yes, I have OVMS, that's how I'm checking charge remotely. What I'm saying is that I can't leave it plugged in without storage mode unless I want it to charge to 100%, which I don't. So that's why I'm asking what percentage it will remain at in storage mode. Because right now it just keeps...

Looking for a way to remotely manage the car's charge, rather than having to plug and unplug it myself. If I happen to be on a different continent for a time, for example.

Thing is, it gives that error but then it will charge anyway

I've never left my car in storage mode before, but am testing something out right now. I've got it plugged in, and every night at 10 I get an 1173 warning ("To gain the advantages of storage mode, car must be plugged in"). OVMS shows it plugged int, shows some voltage/amperage being delivered...

Interesting, wonder how it would look without the lexan. Nice to see that it all fits quite well though!

I know one of these exists, but I don't remember the model number or brand and can't find it for the life of me. There's a single DIN headunit out there which doesn't have a flip out screen (flip out screens apparently hit the wiper switch on Roadsters), and has CarPlay. I don't know why I...

Same thing happens in mine, same story with age and ear sensitivity and older people not being able to hear it. Was going to bring it up in service appointment but haven't brought the car in for one yet.

Are vegan seats still a thing?

Murdoch on the board is an outrage. He's the one who presided over the phone hacking scandal (Murder of Milly Dowler - Wikipedia). He should be in jail, not running this exciting company. All of us need to make known our dissatisfaction with this disastrously bad decision.

What was the 60->75 upgrade price before this update?

Model 3 will have gross margins comparable to S/X at 5k/week? That's crazy, thought they were targeting lower GM than S/X.

If this is even true (seems based on insideEVs monthly sales numbers, which of course are estimates, US-only, and always lower in the first month of a quarter), I wonder why a car with ASP ~40k might outsell a car with ASP ~90k? Gee I just can't figure it out.

Can we please get a service manual for Roadster too... :-/

Is it possible to get a hologram SIM in a store anywhere? It seems sort of absurd to spend $5.97 to ship something which would fit in a regular envelope, especially when the item itself costs less than that.

As ever, I'm going to step here and say what I always say: same team. The Bolt will benefit EVs in general, which will benefit Tesla, not harm it. Yes we can complain about GM's sales/lobbying tactics, but this is a good car which provides competition for ICE, not for EVs. And I've ridden in...

Haha, Kallo taking a dig at Chanos

Completely flat and below average volume going into an ER. How bizarre.

I'm going to hop right into this conversation before the hate machine starts spinning up (as it too often does) to go ahead and remind everyone here: same team. The Bolt is great, it's an accomplishment which deserves to be lauded, and we should all be happy and proud that GM is bringing it to...

Huh, well, there's a spike in volume and a drop at the same moment a headline about it was posted to Google Finance anyway.

Seems the small spike in volume and ~1.5ish point drop about an hour ago coincided nicely with Tesla getting SEC approval to buy SCTY. I really cannot see how that would drop the share price, like, were there people only holding onto stock because they thought the SEC were going to stop this...

@Thumper They did get the announcement on time, it was a press call at noon, embargo ended at 12:30, and the news is already out. It's 100kWh battery and faster ludicrous mode.

Speaking of waiting...

Seriously, if you guys have decided Chelsea is the enemy, things have gotten WAY out of hand. She is, and has been, one of the maybe top three most passionate and public EV voices, period. And yes that includes Elon and JB. I don't know how many times I have to say this: Same.Team.

Probably won't happen, because a) nobody uses it because it's not reliable or easy to use, b) those who do use it don't trust it so they pay more attention to the road, and c) even if something does happen, note how nobody points out individual accidents which happen with non-Tesla cars, because...

Hey, at least there's a little progress - acknowledging Tesla has positive gross margin, and supposedly in the teens which would still be higher than basically any other automaker? It's a start.

Didn't notice anyone mention this yet, but AAPL up 6% after hours on an EPS beat, which is a pretty big move as they often don't move a lot on earnings.

There will be multiple rim designs with the 3 just as there are with the S. That's a prediction, but I think it's a pretty obvious one.

Good. Jobs are not an end, they are a means. The end is prosperity. If we can achieve the same outcomes with a more efficient society - less people having to do the same job - that's more prosperity, that's productivity being freed up so that people can do something else with their time...

I think maybe everyone here needs to cut back on their coffee intake or something.

Earnings estimates will be calibrated based on what analysts know about the number of deliveries. I bet Q2 earnings will be pretty close to analyst estimates on the day of.

I'm going to go ahead and step in here to remind everyone, after pages and pages of crazy fever dreams about what the "secret" master plan entails, that the last "secret" master plan was not a secret, the "secret" part was a joke, it was just a blog post laying out Tesla's general intentions...

Tesla #1 For Repairs & Service? Consumer Reports Survey Finds It So…

In my area there is a separate service and delivery center. In all areas, service and delivery staff are separate anyway. Further, when my friend had his S delivered, it was done by a person who was hired through a temp agency. Finally, delivery personnel have definitely had times where they...

We've spent like three pages talking about a few members here. Is this a gossip forum or an investment forum? I can't tell. Stop it.

And well-fixed indeed, given the constant "but wind/solar kills birds/turtles!" from the anti-environment crowd, who only decide to start caring about the environmental impact of things when things with much larger environmental impacts are being displaced. Somehow you get these articles about...

Why assume? ISIS makes their money off of stolen oil, that's where a huge amount of their money comes from, full stop. Oil is a global, fungible commodity which means that demand anywhere is the same as demand everywhere. So some proportion of every dollar spent on oil goes into ISIS'...

Remember everyone, the last "top secret master plan" was a joke. It wasn't top secret. That was the point. There wasn't anything too particularly new in it, well, I guess building more than one car was "new," but it was all logical steps for a car company to do, so all this nonsense about...

Tesla has stated this to be the case. 2x safer.

Joined you on this one, papafox. Not sure why, seems optimistic. Will probably sell on Tuesday if the news is only neutral, but keep it if we go up more than 5-10 points.

The dumb thing about the horsepower complaint is that horsepower doesn't even really mean anything anyway. It's a pretty useless number and has very little effect on a car's performance except perhaps at very high speeds (and, as noted, the top speed was correctly advertised here). Also, can...

Yes, and that's precisely what I'm trying to do. Stop with the ad hominems. Stick to facts. You literally just said that this isn't about ego fights, so stop having one. You don't "expose the truth" by calling someone "low IQ."

Then please stop getting into them. These comments are getting too personal, once again, as seems to happen far too often in this thread. Can people just stop the personal attacks, like for a week or so, for once?
