    Sorry, I never drop in here...but what are the thought on the $25K Tesla that was going to be built..all I have heard is that it will not. Any other news about it? thanks..

    Local Electric Company wants EV owners to pay for upgrading neighborhood infrastructure.

    Reading the info that our Electric Company has under policies, a new EV customer wanting to install a level 2 in home chargers may have to pay $4,000-5000 bill for upgrading electric service to their neighborhood. What is not said is under what circumstances that may happen. I have a phone call...

    Depressing trend in EV's..

    Yeah....a $25K EV might help..no pointing fingers at Elon..low priced would make an impact.

    Depressing trend in EV's..

    At the moment we seem to be losing the battle for EV acceptance among the general public. How best to change the direction of the conversation? EV Ownership Ticks Up, but Fewer Nonowners Want to Buy One

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

    I think Elon's days as a visionary sooth-sayer able to get the 'I want to believe' crowd to stump up are over - at least as far as EVs are concerned.Is it in the company's best interests to pay him another $56B or hire a full-time CEO who is ideologically-attuned to Tesla's market for a fraction...

    what is this?

    In my semi logical mind...it would seem that the plastic bolt and nut would..should be reversed...Bolt head seen in the wheel well, not the threaded part and nut. Then ..why would anyone get that wrong in the installation process?

    Prediction: Coal has fallen. Nuclear is next then Oil.

    ENERGY Trump’s goal, he says, is for the U.S. to have the lowest-cost energy and electricity of any nation in the world, including China. Under the mantra “DRILL, BABY, DRILL,” he says he would ramp up oil drilling on public lands and offer tax breaks to oil, gas, and coal producers. He would...

    Beginning of the end for Tesla

    The goal is to produce 250,000 Cybertrucks a year, or about 62,500 a quarter. Musk says that the rate can be reached at some point in 2025. In the first quarter, Tesla probably made and delivered in the range of 3,500 Cybertrucks. Analysts use vehicle identification number registrations and...

    Beginning of the end for Tesla

    Love our M3. Couple of questions from a sometimes TMC viewer. IF..if Elon had pushed to get the so called "$25K" EV produced and out..And not produced the CT, would things have been different as far as layoffs? Uninformed and wondering.

    Yeah, Elon is no my hero. Not even a dawn surprise. The internal email was sent close to midnight PT, per a timestamp seen by Business Insider. In the memo, obtained by BI, the Tesla CEO said that there has been a "duplication of roles and job functions in certain areas" as the company has...

    psi reading on my tires is not accurate, car says they are 37-38 psi, I connected my compressor to it and it says 33.5 psi

    If tire pressures are 1>2 lbs. off, does that really matter at all? I struggle to get them all the same according to the onboard system. Example...fronts...42, rear,one at 42,one at 40.

    Curious..how far away are from a Tesla Service Center?

    All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership

    Now I remember..I think......we live about 100 miles from the Tesla service "station", so "out of the no cost mobile area? Just guessing because of bad memory.

    All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership

    So when I called Tesla in Salem, Oregon..why did they tell me minimum $150 an hour?? ( did that about about 6 months ago)
  35. RSpanner

    All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership

    $58? for the whole job? Filters are $26 and Mobil service in 2022 was $150 per hour, minimum charge. Look it up.

    All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership

    Well, whatever. I had no problems. Not 6', but 5'10" 176lbs. and 72 years old. Took about 1/2 hour because I used the spray can cleaner and tube that goes down were the filters go..to clean it out. But you, unlike you, perhaps..I am retired and bored most of the time. $58 really?

    Oregon has an optional program where you pay as you go. I did not know about it until after I bought my M3. Too late for me, Telsa signed me up for 4 years on the regular program..kinda pissed me off. The pay as you go>Oregon Department of Transportation : OReGO: Oregon's Road Usage Charge...
