Before the Tesla I owned a BMW with a ... bigger than necessary engine. I loaned it to a friend who had just started driving, the clutch was smoked in one (!) afternoon. With great power comes great responsibility. I would only loan it to people I KNOW are responsible, fresh drivers, or in my...

Several reasons they roll it out slowly 1. Mistakes happen, if only 100 cars are affected instead of 100'000+ thats better 2. Bandwidth.

Tunnels, its horrible in tunnels, it tries to avoid the wall and pushes you outwards into traffic (this picture taken in a tunnel with 2 lanes going my direction) Most highways here have a center divider that is actually a physical fence/wall/whatever. If you're in the left lane (most highways...

My trips (me being in Europe) are mapped to the California area...

Most likely, I had to correct the parking (reaaally tight space) and got another extra trip for that :P

Looks great and simple. Just can't relate to miles and °Fahrenheit :)

Wow, be happy you're not European then, you see "ordered" then "being built" and then 2+ months of "being delivered" with no further updates available... Oh and communication is non-existent. Good car, bad service is my experience to date.

Interesting, your complaints are some I've seen before, like the flimsy front lid. I lack a comparison with other cars in the seat area. You have a good storage box that fits into the tesla? Is that available somewhere? Its nice to see tesla gaining ground in China as well :)

I guess OP's car has a "floor counter" so after 100 times being floored the bottom falls off or something, oh and it wasn't floored, valet mode ftw. Recording without someone's knowledge is being a conniving little (expletive) which is where I have the issue. He probably has the "recording"...

Wow just wow. So you hand the car to some shop. Most shops have a standard "test loop" they drive, just to be sure. This didn't seem like a long drive. These are car guys, so they'll enjoy a nice car, and are interested in the mechanical side (frunk). Not everyone knows Tesla. As a car guy you...

The usual :)

I once bought a high powered BMW, and loaned it to a young guy, he managed to fry the clutch in one day. Lesson learned, power and young guys lead to very high temptations :)

You also run into those weird tailgaters? Are those flashing lights are supposed to impress me or something? Sheesh

In German, but something like this would probably take off in english too supercharge-me - Bewertungsportal zum Tesla Ladenetzwerk Basically there's reviews for each location, and some ideas what to do at each. User driven.

Think you can drop coins in there or something? Or a shot, might be hard to get at the contents after the pouring though.... also on a P85 after a launch....

Not sure about that, don't own one. I think from how the lower one looks it only contains rarely needed stuff? But yeah dunno about that bit :)

Mittelkonsolen - Center Consoles - e-driver.net - THE HOME OF ELECTRIC DRIVING not sure if they deliver to the states. The cupholder is new, coming soon according to the designer. From all the options this one seems to be the best designed imo, also fits perfectly and can be mounted by anyone...

I asked my landlord if I could use the existing plug to charge, and move my spot to the one next to it. Both were okd without any issues. I think its best to inform, instead of having to react to issues when someone complains. If you do use power from a shared garage and don't pay something...

Haha just having this snafu in a project right now, despite FROM THE VERY START it was clearly stated DST will NOT be an issue as we thought of everything.

My biggest issue with a Tesla vs a ICE is pretty much long term, repairs outside warranty etc. It will not measure up to a fully equipped BMW 5 (similar class) except for the electric bit... and we are talking the more expensive hybrid BMW that does a lot of electric too... so yeah :)

Yes significantly Something everyone needs to know, around the 15th Jan the Swiss Frank significantly (20%) gained value vs ALL other currencies. It has nothing to do with the euro.

Rheazombi, on each contract for a car you can pull out of the sale by forfeiting the 2500 (in Switzerland) The prices dropped by MORE than 2500 for each car, so for every customer it would be CHEAPER to just order another car, leaving Tesla stuck with a car that is worth less (due to the prices...

I agree, so I cancelled, since that saves me money and costs me nothing, can't say the same for Tesla. People not accepting their cars? People save money (lose a little though) and Tesla loses more due to losing the car value AND having another unsold car on its hands. Both ways Tesla ****s...

I was debating if I wanted to write something about the bad experience I had but this post encourages me to do so. After checking my budget, and trying out a tesla, I decided to buy one. This was on the 15th of January, then the Euro crash happened, well its more like the Swiss Frank suddenly...

Because for people like me who actually travel in Europe, having a SC network is a prerequisite for buying? Any vacation I take with the car would require these. If there weren't such a nice network in Germany I'd not even consider a Tesla. There's only 1 supercharger around Thun/Interlaken...

How do you press the brake and the accelerator with the same foot?
