    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Tesla doesn't report the bad stuff including battery fires this software is causing, after all they have your money, and your complete attention.

    Video: Watch Tesla’s Robots Build the Model 3

    I think ever since Elon started the business everyone has waited for his solutions to problems, this one is no different, if he says it's possible to get 1000 cars a day in two years, I believe there are many investors who would believe it. Don't forget he has a huge factory with lots of unused...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

Those of you...

    Blog Tesla Model 3 Receives ‘Superior’ Rating for Front Crash Prevention

    If you take the time to read the actual report you will read that she hit the brake pedal "fractions of a second" before the crash, that would have canceled any action the car was going to take if she just sat there. The part that astounded me was that because of the crash she only broke her...

    Blog Tesla Model 3 Receives ‘Superior’ Rating for Front Crash Prevention

    Yes but the report went on to say that she touched the brake pedal seconds before the crash canceling any automatic response the car may have done by itself, she was to busy looking at her phone before the crash. "Tesla issued a statement saying the company makes it clear Autopilot is not meant...

    Blog Tesla Model 3 Receives ‘Superior’ Rating for Front Crash Prevention

    I agree, the driver has the responsibility for the safety of himself/herself or their passengers, and right now I look at autopilot like I would cruse control, we set the speed but we keep our hands and brake foot ready for anything we don't yet see. The car sensors are not fool proof, and it...

    Blog WSJ: Tesla Engineers Lost Argument for More Autopilot Sensors

    I feel that autopilot is like what we have now with cruse control, but even though we can set the speed with it, we still have to keep our eyes and hands involved in driving, especially at highway speeds, traveling at 75mph which converts to 110 feet per second. When your in a car, how many of...

    Blog Tesla Model 3 Receives ‘Superior’ Rating for Front Crash Prevention

    The pictures I did see was of a black car crumpled into a firetruck, I'm not an investigator of accidents, so it looked like a model 3 to me. The article I read was of a model three saying it was listed as one of the best and safest cars on the road, so I assumed that they were referring to...

    Blog Tesla Model 3 Receives ‘Superior’ Rating for Front Crash Prevention

    I have the same questions and concern. 1. How do we know this driver is telling Tesla the truth about the Model 3 being in autopilot? 2. With all of these short sellers out there making up stuff, & with the knowledge that the Model 3 is the safest car on the road, how do we know he wasn't...

    Model 3: My car is in the shop on day 2

    They should allow you to drive it, charge it before you sign for it, if they don't walk away, they might change their minds after you ask for your deposit back. Tesla would be no different than any other car company they want or need sales.

    Model 3: My car is in the shop on day 2

    I know everything is different today with technology, but I would like to tell you how far the auto industry has come in the last 42 years. In 1974 I ordered my first Ford F-250 pick-up truck completed as a towing vehicle for a travel trailer I owned. It took several months for the delivery, so...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I understand that some of you feel that investors shouldn't trust Elon's words or dates when it comes to Tesla cars. Is it possible he believes what he is told and is just passing on this information, or do you think this info is coming directly from him? Reason why I ask is because in 2010 he...

    New Semi Truck

    They were saying in this promo was that they took a diesel semi and took the engine out, put in an electric motor and a battery pack. The only question I have is where did they get that electric motor, Is that a Tesla Electric motor?

    New Semi Truck

    I just saw a promo of a Semi Truck called Thor, they claim it will beat Tesla's Semi in mid 2019, should Tesla be worried about this or is the Tesla motor and batteries superior to theirs? One thing I think Tesla is superior was they said the mileage they get on a charge is 300 miles, if I'm...

    Musings on Model 3 'bottlenecks'

    In my opinion the bottlenecks were made up or fake news, if you ever saw the Fremont Factory in action you will know what I mean. The bottleneck if there is one is the 400 thousand orders, a problem other Auto makers WISH they had. I think anyone can understand how hard it might be getting all...

    Do you believe Tesla will sell battery packs to other car manufacturers?

    I'm not sure how many Tesla investors feel about this question, however I feel that Elon will allow battery packs to be created or modified for other car manufacturers in the future. I have been involved in Tesla (tsla) i.e. owning shares since 2012, and I followed Tesla before that, I believe...

    Random Ramblings on 20 Months of Model S Ownership - Part II

    I thought the black Tesla P85D with the silver wheels looked much better than the black one with black wheels, just taste I guess, but to me the silver wheels on the black car have a lot more class.

    Where is the Model X Test Mule? Is there one?

    I especially liked the photo of the Model X passing a gas station, was that by design or accident? It doesn't matter though, it was a great shot showing that the Model X or any Tesla doesn't need or require that stop.

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    How many moving parts in a Model S

    joeinslw I was watching a TV show on CNBC on day and the subject was Tesla Motors, the Expert said that a Tesla Model S has only 18 moving parts, and a regular gasoline engine (ICE) car has 2000, and he continued to say that is what truly makes an electric vehicle much more efficient and...
