    EV Car/My Tesla - An Alexa skill for Amazon Echo / Tesla integration

    Exactly. Is the code for this skill still not public?

    EV Car/My Tesla - An Alexa skill for Amazon Echo / Tesla integration

    I'm wondering if it's feasible to learn charging speeds. To reduce complexity, it couldn't only work for one charger (assuming whatever you use at home). The user could tell it to learn the charging speed (ideally starting with a low SOC). Then it could poll the charge level until full or...

    Motley Fool story - Tesla Replacement Part Delays

    I was thinking before it got posted actually. I can imagine Elon pointing out the blog in question and telling Jon "Fix this *sugar* NOW."

    Motor Trend buries dramatic "Tesla wins" results in new self steering comparison

    I can't say if the writers at Motor Trend have an anti Tesla bias, but their readers sure do. Just go to the Motor Trend or Car & Driver Facebook pages and look at any post having anything to do with Tesla. All of the false arguments concerning EV adoption or Tesla in general undoubtedly come up.

    Will the Model 3 support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

    Like most other modern cars, Teslas don't just have a single processor or operating system. The ECU and Infotainment system are completely separate systems that likely communicate with CANbus. Also, when a manufacturer decides to support Android Auto or Carplay, its not like the car (or...

    Waze Maps should be coming soon

    I personally think that releasing any sort of SDK or integrating apps into the Tesla UI in a custom manner is the wrong way to go. Tesla really needs to implement Android Auto and CarPlay. Then adding Waze or Google Maps (or any other supported app) would use that interface. Developing...

    Different Door Handles...

    Lefty here. If using my left hand, I would push with my thumb palm-up and grip the handle from underneath. Or just use my right hand....

    Am I supposed to receive an e-mail confirmation or?

    I believe that Tesla employees were given Friday and Monday off in celebration of the release. So I suspect that those of use that didn't get confirmation emails may have to wait until Tuesday to get an email unless someone comes in on their day off.

    How's your line?

    Wow. I was planning on going later, but the line just seems to be getting longer and longer....

    Current non-Tesla owners who plan to buy a Model ≡ ; Have you test driven a Model S?

    I have not driven or ridden in a Tesla before. As a matter of fact, I have never even ridden in a hybrid before.

    Tesla could give employees early access to Model 3 preorders

    The article in question said that emplyees may be able to reserve around March 23-25th. I'm not a Tesla employee but my understanding is that the internal email that was distributed said they could reserve as early as this Thursday (March 17).

    Tesla's response to me leaking info about the P100D?

    Has anyone actually asked for the source? IIRC aren't required to freely post it online or anything, but they must respond to requests for the source. Even then, they can still charge for the release of their modified (or unmodified for that matter) source.

    We want some Model 3 Leaks, renders, sketches !

    I don't think this is news to many in here. http://fuelfix.com/blog/2016/02/25/tesla-focusing-on-cutting-price-of-cars-executive-says-in-houston/ We already know it was supposed to compete with the BMW 3 series and that it would be 20% smaller than a Model S. This eliminates in my mind any...

    Model 3 Feature Requests

    This may be a deal breaker for me. There's no reason for a modern car (especially one 2 years out) to not come with this.

    Looking Forward to the Model 3 Debut

    What time is the reveal expected to be? Weren't the others at 8PM PST? I made a countdown clock on timeanddate.com and its about 2 hours earlier. http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20160331T20&p0=822&msg=Model+3+Reveal&font=sanserif&csz=1

    March Model 3 Unveil just drawings? No actual car? Disappointed.

    Edit: I can see how it can be interpreted that he wasn't talking about having a car or not. He may only be answering the second portion of the question.

    Q4 2015 Conference call discussion thread

    I was pretty surprised to hear him say this. How can they possibly not show a car?

    March Model 3 Unveil just drawings? No actual car? Disappointed.

    Elon, just stated in the conference call that they haven't decided if there will be a full car at the reveal or not. Color me surprised.

    Attn Tesla! Preorders for those who already own or have on order!

    When I originally made that post my friend had told me that he was promised these things by his recruiter. I asked him about it again and he said nothing has been confirmed. It IS just a rumor at this point.

    Attn Tesla! Preorders for those who already own or have on order!

    Regardless of what my colleague was told at hiring, even he confirms that it's still a rumor until it's officially announced.

    March Model 3 Unveil just drawings? No actual car? Disappointed.

    I came in here to say exactly this. At the very start of the video he says that he literally only had a couple hours of sleep in the past 48 hours. There's a lot of overreacting going on in here.

    Early Bird Gets The Worm or Patience Is A Virtue?

    I'm expecting higher end models to be produced first and at a higher volume than the S and X. Since I'm planning to buy a 3 closer to the base model, I think that I can reserve ASAP and still have the opportunity to test drive and see what bugs occur on early models. If I were to wait a while...

    Signature or Production

    I have a colleague who started at Tesla a few months back and he was promised by their recruiter that employees would get first dibs on the Model 3 when reservations were opened. I think they were also told they would get interest free financing also.

    Lo-Drag: Cd < 0.2

    I think thinks like body panels over the rear wheels and a conical rear end are very unlikely. I have a colleague that works at Tesla and while he can't tell me anything specific, he has told me that the Model 3 looks really nice and he thinks a lot of people are going to like it. I think that...

    Update: Model X has a single charger, but only 48A capable

    What makes people think that that Signature cars will be limited to 48A? The messages that FlasherZ posted seemed to indicate that you can charge to 72A with a HPWC.

    Update: Model X has a single charger, but only 48A capable

    So I've skimmed through this thread and I can't seem to figure out what the consensus is on this issue. My understanding is that if you have a NEMA 14-50 outlet you are limited to 48A (by the outlet). But if you have a higher current outlet, like with a 100A HPWC, the MX will accept up to 72A...

    Model 3 reservations -- How does Tesla handle reservations?

    Believe it or not, I actually agree with you. If there in fact aren't any credits left by then, then the point is moot. But if there are, then IMO those that would otherwise not buy a M3 would be best served by taking advantage of the credit. Unfortunately, there's no practical way of...

    Model 3 reservations -- How does Tesla handle reservations?

    I'd just like to remind all the MS and Roadster owners that think they should get priority for M3 reservations, that for each one of you that gets an early M3, one less person will be able to get the federal tax credit. I hope I can speak for the rest of us that can't afford a MS when I thank...

    300+ Mile Model 3?

    It just occurred to me that would result in a battery line up of 50, 70 and 90kWh. I realize that my desire to look for patterns in numbers has left me biased. :)
