Has this ever been implemented?

We ordered at end of April, got a delivery estimate of May 22-June 15. Since slid to June 14-30. We haven't filled out leasing credit app because the 60 day window seems precarious with slipping delivery dates. Are we actually making it worse by not filling out the app? So far, we have not...

So the reality check (and hugely unpopular opinions) here are this: 1) Tesla is objectively bad at some of the basics of building cars. Panel fit and paint are two notable areas where the "world's most advanced car company" isn't good at stuff nearly every other automaker is good at. The...

Mine was 6k+ below the honest buyers of the car.

Probably the reason Tesla doesn't fix stuff. Because literally most people don't believe that the build quality is really far below industry standards. The more attention drawn to this, the more it will become an issue for the company and the sooner it will get fixed once and for all. Not just...

I should've mentioned we are leasing and so EAP is <$100 per month, but no way to "cancel". The idiotically named "full self driving" is $200 / month with the subscription, but then cancellable. I think we will stick with EAP. Thanks!

Should I delete enhanced autopilot from the build given things like parking assist are "1980s Atari" level?

So do I, however... ... it would absolutely not be an SEC violation. They can show the prototype to whoever they want. They have announced the product, for years. There is no material non-public information from showing off the design. If they gave SolarCity employees material non-public...

It's legal today in California. And it works. Google rides every day on trafficky crowded freeways with a freeway-capable self-driving car. Every day. In normal lanes, with other cars mixed in. Also, GM is bringing SuperCruise to market on a 2017 Cadillac.

Thanks. I will follow up when Tesla does.

If anyone has crashed their Tesla and would be willing to chat very briefly for a post on my Forbes blog, please shoot me an e-mail: forbes at rogo dot net... If you leave a number, I'll call you as soon as I see the mail. I don't want to make a big case out of this, but rather am doing a post...

I don't believe the Gen III can be accelerated with money. I believe the "gating factor" is waiting on battery costs / battery performance to come into line with the target for the vehicle (which seems to be essentially a 60 kw/hr battery and is a $35,000 base price without any tax credits). The...

To clarify: Tesla's price target is $35,000 without any tax credits. I got this information (along with many other reporters) from Elon Musk, who stated it unambiguously in the press briefing at the battery-swap announcement. Musk suggested there would be no tax credits to have by then; but I...

Thanks for linking to my piece Dave. I have a follow up slated for Friday morning comparing the Tesla offering to Better Place's battery swapping.
