Could someone please post an update about this SC, the In-N-Out, and any other restaurants nearby? I may need to use this one in a couple weeks.

This delay again proves how hard it is to actually start a new BEV company and how lucky we are to have Tesla be as successful as it is.

Taking a cue from Mike, I should’ve been more specific: the next growth stage in my TSLA long position may be enough by then to cover the new Roadster price. ;)

That'll give me more time to save up the money... and pick a custom wrap.... :p

And on the "short"est day of the year, December 21.

Agreed! ;) I always liked the turbine-blade wheels since having it in my P85 from 2013, but after 7 years I wanted a change to make my next Model S a little more distinctive, and those Arachnid wheels deliver. I very rarely see in person any other Tesla with Arachnid's. While in Glacier...

Happy to participate, and yes I hope this helps show that BEV road tripping is real to show we can leave ICE behind and instead get a proper 21st-century car. Mine is a 100 kWh pack in a 2018 Model S, so with the Arachnid 21” wheels, we did this with “only” ~327 miles of range rather than 400+...

Thanks so much! It was a spectacular adventure. I took the pictures with my iPhone 11 Pro, which helps because it has a great combination of cameras and image processing on the fly. Then at home I processed them in Pixelmator Pro on macOS.

Hello my TMC friends, I am very happy to share how I took my family of four on a 20-day 5252-mile road trip entirely using my S this summer: Tesla Model S - Pacific Northwest Road Trip Our travels through the Pacific Northwest took us to see National Parks, beautiful sites, and scenic byways...

Seems like lighting could've hit the rocket if they had launched, and they knew because of measurements of electricity in the atmosphere, so a delay was definitely the right call.

"Little News"? Doesn't matter if it's "Little News". Millions of people who didn't know what a Tesla or a CyberTruck was now have heard of it via Jay Leno's show, so this is the best kind of publicity. Us in the know should NEVER scoff at efforts to inform the "unwashed masses".

Weather bad. Postponed to 3:22 pm EDT May 30.

Can't wait to see them pull an "I'm Spartacus!" Alameda Sheriff pulls up and says "Okay, I have a warrant for the arrest of Elon Musk. Which one's Elon Musk?" As Elon gets up to turn himself in, a line worker says "I'm Elon Musk", then another "I'm Elon Musk". Then a cacophony of "I'm Elon...

Well you're right about the tech and I hope you're right about the classic, because I'm original owner of one of those 2013 P85s, my first all-electric car, but it's in storage now that I bought a P100D. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with my P85 (see my profile pict). Keep it forever...

I'm glad they're: 1. driving out and exercising the Supercharger network 2. documenting where they go and posting statistics on the web as spreadsheets, bar charts, and dots and lines on a map 3. promoting friendly competition 4. expressing pride in their activity I have zero problem with that...

With all these electric road trips, why, why does the general public still believe you can't leave the city in an electric car? I have over 11k miles in all-electric road trips under my belt since 2013, so I'm with you guys, but when I was at Grand Teton in Wyoming a lady saw the California...

My car is the Model year that MT rightly bestows this great honor upon. That’s great! I wonder: Will it become a collector’s item? A classic?

We wish Rivian the best of luck. It's very tough starting a new car business.

Very correct post. The latest from the doomsayers is moving goalposts yet again. Now that the "demand cliff" is disproven, they talk about lack of profit in Q2 and wait and see about Q3 as a diversion from the naysayers' poor ability to forecast (or perhaps the naysayers' dishonesty).

About Tesla, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital said on May 7, 2019, “They face a real demand cliff...” In April he wrote Tesla is “on the brink of failure”. And yet Tesla achieved record deliveries in 19Q2, so remember how wrong he is every time you see Einhorn speak or write. Tesla...

So what was that about a so-called "demand problem"?

Another week passes, and the parties request and are granted another one week extension. What did I tell ya? As long as Musk doesn’t do anything unambiguously wrong, the settlement is essentially in limbo for these months before it’s done.

From two weeks ago: “At best the SEC and Musk may draft a letter-of-understanding in two weeks, and the judge will have no choice but to grant more time for a proper settlement, which then the judge will comb for any more ambiguities or abdication of power. This will take months.” Judge Orders...

Go to the horse’s mouth: at about 3:00 in the CNBC video is where Lutz says exactly that in Sept. 2018: Tesla is 'headed for the graveyard,' predicts former GM exec Bob Lutz Lutz flies other gems like Tesla “is headed for the graveyard.” I don’t like to give CNBC any ad revenue for posting...

Refutes yet another quote by a famed hater of Tesla: “Tesla has no … tech advantage, no software advantage, no battery advantage. No advantages whatsoever.” - Bob Lutz on CNBC, September 18, 2018

Thank you for the kind words and You're Welcome. I've argued for defendant or plaintiff in more court cases than I'd like to admit. The Apr 4 transcript is hard to find. Upon reading it's clear this Judge Nathan is damn smart! She saw more important problems in both sides that neither side...

I’ve read a more detailed transcript of the Apr 4 SEC v Musk hearing. The judge made it clear the root problem is a poorly-written September settlement, so defective the judge discovered a loophole Musk can drive a Tesla Semi through. The judge asked excellent questions of the SEC, exposing...

It looks real to me. Just got confirmation that my "vehicle qualifies for 3 years unlimited supercharging". Sweet! They said that it could take 2 weeks for this to show up in MyTesla account. Maybe because someone thought of the deal only a few weeks ago.... Works for me.

A rep at a Tesla store told me about this deal on Dec. 29, so indeed I did take delivery of a new S on December 30. As of today (1/1/19) the account shows "only" 6 mo. free Supercharging on my new S, but I'm emailing supercharger@tesla to see if I can redeem this deal. Having documented...

I have rear facing seats and pano roof in my S. I guess this makes my nearly 6-year-old electric car even more unique. I was thinking of getting a new S. My kids have outgrown the rear-facing seats, so I can let that go, but every car I’ve owned had a sunroof. I feel like I’m going to miss...

Thanks for the tips on this. It was helpful. Just past halfway through our 4647-mile road trip we were at Spearfish: Tesla Model S - Devil's Tower And it was the first Supercharger I've seen with squeegees, so I used one. I took your advice so my family had lunch at Devil's Tower Gulch...

Enough of this! I'm a TSLA investor. Can they please depose me so I can testify that I was not deceived by anything Elon or Tesla tweeted or said, from production to whatever was secured? Conversely I’m interested in participating in a class-action suit against the SEC for taking action...

Thanks very much. We're a family of four. My children were 11 and 7 during the trip. In sign language, we're signaling the "Hello" tones from "Close Encounters" here: Here are the children at Veteran Geyser in Yellowstone taking in a whiff: In many of the car pictures, they're inside the...

Thanks so very much! It was a great experience.

Please do! I hope it's helpful and educational, especially that it can be done. New chargers seem to be appearing all the time, making such trips yet easier. As I was proofing my web pages today, I checked the maps and found a new Destination Charging hotel in Tropic, UT, that I would have...

Thanks very much! Yes, good point! It's a long enough trip to fit in a couple car washes (it got super dirty in Durango), and they're documented, but you'll see the last week of the trip nature did a lot of "cleaning" for me. ;)

Hello my TMC friends, I am very excited to share how I took my family on a 20-day 4647-mile road trip entirely using my S this summer: Tesla Model S - "American West" Road Trip Starting from California, we traveled through 10 western states to see National Parks and beautiful sites including...

Christine Todd Whitman, former NJ governor and former head of the EPA, for Tesla Chairwoman. Her OpEd in CNBC about misinformation against EVs shows she is level-headed, stable, and sees the truth of what’s going on. Christine Todd Whitman: Oil industry is 'peddling misinformation' about...

Love it! Jay Leno is a great guy and knows cars.

OMG this is so ballsy! I'm okay if they do and I'm okay if they don't, but if they do it'll be yet another way Tesla makes history. It's certainly one way to evict and lock out the short sellers.

Can anyone post about options for lunch near the Spearfish Supercharger? Tesla's site speaks of only Phillips 66. I'm planning a road trip and I was hoping to feed my family there after visiting Devil's Tower.

70 years later and some journalists still don't learn from "Dewey Defeats Truman": Green Car Reports the morning of July 1.

No, that's you putting words in my mouth and taking my words out of context, hence proving my point about sloppy journalism. Enough of that. Nowhere did I say this report's author is a "Troll". Maybe you're thinking of someone else. I'm showing why your expectation of "transparency" from Tesla...

All of that doesn't matter because: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it." This has been confirmed in studies since 1977: Illusory truth effect - Wikipedia We live in an era of "truthiness", when fake news easily enters into the public consciousness. Just look at...

No that won’t work. Here’s why: Do you see the point? Writers, out of sloppiness, negligence, ignorance, or spite, will redact portions of Tesla’s statements in such a way to obscure the original meaning, suggesting a wholly different message that Tesla didn’t say. Ever heard of telephone...

We did see an increase in the reservation list for S&X, which supports that idea. In the Tesla quarterly call they said Tesla diverted labor from S&X to Model 3, which slowed down deliveries of S&X explaining the lack of a bump in S&X sales and contributing to an increase the reservation list...

Reading a glass as 23% empty? Why not read it as 77% full + upselling to Model S & X? The other thing that's missing are the numbers in absolute accumulated terms. If the total of deposits kept + 3's delivered is constantly increasing, why worry?

Checked it out May 27. Nothing so far.

Any news on this SC? I’m planning to take my S through that area by Labor Day so it would be nice to know if it’ll be online by then.

I personally look forward to the comparison to BMW M3, since I once enjoyed my 2001 BMW M3 until I bought my P85 S, and I find it ironic that the Model 3 I will be buying my wife may well be competition for today's BMW M3.
