    How does the BMS treat the 60D with nerfing and degredation?

    So the 60D is actually a 75D right? So Charging to 100% every day should be fine correct? With battery/charge gate going on with nerfed batteries, and people losing range from regular battery degredation, will the BMS keep allotting more battery to keep the 60D at 200 miles of range, or...

    Windows framed or not?

    Polarizing design aside, did I see non framed windows again? Please tell me they are framed. Your tough cybertruck won't look so tough when you are fumbling around trying to open or close the doors in the winter.

    What's it really like to own a Tesla in New England?

    Long time lurker here, I have been waiting/saving for a Tesla since 2012 and have watched the evolution of the cars and the company. The initial lust I had for these cars has faded over the past year. Reading about terrible service, refusing to honor warranty issues (yellow screens, broken MCU...

    Why the move to electronic latches?

    What is the benefit of moving to electronic latches? I noticed that the new etron has them too which I find disappointing. It certainly isn't to save weight or complexity because it seems as though they are required to still run an emergency latch mechanism for power failure. So why even...

    Maine owners, do you have to get service in Dedham or can you get a ranger?

    Just curious about how current owners get service work done? Will rangers travel to Maine for simple things (door handles, trim repair etc)? Obviously larger work would require a garage but I don't want to drive to Dedham for every little issue. Thanks!

    Portland to Providence minimum battery size

    I occasionally travel from Portland to Providence for work and am wondering if a 70D could realistically get there in the worst case conditions in the winter? It looks close on EV trip planner depending on the parameters so I was wondering if anyone has some real world experience with this...

    Does the regular (not air) suspension have issues?

    I am a fan of air suspension in theory, but not in practice. I have owned an Audi A8 and vowed to never own a car with so many bells and whistles again. So I am a bit annoyed that Tesla chose things like falcon wing doors, frameless windows, and silly door handles but I digress. So does the...

    Will there ever be a Tesla with framed windows?

    Love the cars, HATE that they haven't followed KISS with their engineering solutions. Do you think we will ever see a Tesla with framed windows? This is really a deal breaker for me living in a snowy climate. Elon, please please please give us framed windows for the Model Y!!!

    Cross winds for your Model S vs previous cars?

    This spring, we had exceptional wind in New England, and on the highway I felt like my car would dance all over the place (currently a venerable Camry). Previously I had an A8L, not a light car, and it still had similar issues but not as bad as the Camry. I am wondering how well the Model S...

    Buy a CPO from Canada?

    Can you purchase a CPO car from the Canadian inventory and have it shipped to the US? Some of us are pretty close to Canada, and it looks like there is a small service center transfer fee. If the car has never been registered in the USA, would it qualify for the $7500 Federal tax rebate even...

    Any long term owners in New England? Question on non-framed windows and air susp.

    I know, long term is relative... two years max? Anyways, I am looking for people in our harsh environment that have had the car for a whole winter or two. The two things I am worried about in the Model S are: 1) Non-framed windows. I absolutely hate that the car is designed this way. I...
