That sheet is hilarious. Y'all must have hit some kind of critical mass in California for a guy to print off flyers and start putting them on cars. There are a lot of Tesla's in Austin but you'd be wasting your time wandering around looking for one. "Tesla 'Satisfaction' survey authored by...

Has anyone else had issues pulling their old NEMA 14-50 adapters off of their mobile chargers? I don't remember it being difficult to swap the adapters out when I first got the car (back in November) but after that, I plugged it into the garage outlet and never looked at it again until today...

Last i looked, they were a few million apart on customers, which isn't really a huge lead (we're talking in excess of 100 million customers each, here), but being the market leader isn't a reason to stop innovating. If Verizon wants to play in the connected car space, they're going to have to...

AT&T is one of those companies people love to hate (like Microsoft). If they had just kept the name SBC when they bought the original AT&T and took it's name, they'd probably be significantly more loved (as much as a phone company can be). Instead most people like to exaggerate their issues...

This is done via contract negotiation with the union (once it's powerful enough in the company) and the employer. The union requires the employer to sign an agreement that says they'll only hire union-represented employees for specific jobs going forward. Some contracts even require they fire...

Write your congressmen. Both of them. You can even do it online via their "your congressman" webpages. Tell them you're a registered voter and explain why you love this car and why it's critically important to you that we don't keep stonewalling it in Texas. A few extra letters from...

I think that kinda makes my point about individualism in my original statement. Unions are not for individual measurement and individual success. They want to put all workers in a single cohesive block so that you cannot identify individuals for promotion or firing. Not to try and make it...

The problem with Tesla and unions is that unions get tagged (somewhat fairly) with being anti-automation and protectionist. A unionized Tesla would have more difficulty leveraging new automation technology if that technology replaced (or i guess displaced depending on your viewpoint) union...

I could be wrong but I was pretty sure most super charger distances are based on the 60 kw battery (maybe at "max charge", but still...). In terms of 60kw vs 85kw, it really is going to depend on your requirements. I always tell people buy the car you need for 95% of the year. That last 5%...

Heh, my previous home had a Federal Pacific Electric box. They aren't kidding about how shoddy/dangerous it is. Nothing ever caught fire but we did notice once that the breaker never tripped on a circuit when it should have (luck in that specific situation kept the house from burning down)...

Just to echo the others, I couldn't justify an s85 either in terms of typical driving patterns vs cost. Of course, I live in Austin, so the only places I would ever drive to have at least one super charger on the way (Dallas, Houston, SA). A 60 works just fine for me (40 miles @ 80mph daily...

It really depends on the policy here in the US but from what I remember with my insurance agent (i asked a similar question years ago), your policy covers your car for collision/comprehensive and you for liability. So the person driving your car could cover some of the costs of the accident...

My expectations are probably not nearly as high as most folks on this forum, so i'm really just looking for an unexpected deal-breaker. I'm actually coming from another car designed by Franz von Holzhausen (the Tesla designer), the little two-seater saturn roadster i've had for 7-8. Sort of...

Yeah, I'm in Austin, which I think means I just missed the event here. I'm pretty much sold on this car but I just can't bring myself to spend this much money on something without at least taking it on a cursory 5 minute drive (just to tell myself i have). I wonder how much longer it will be...

Now that our state has gone all anti-capitalist and banned direct sales, what exactly is the process to test drive a Tesla in Texas? I've read that you can't test drive in the galleries because that would make them dealerships (somehow?), so I'm curious how folks are able to try one out before...
