my opinion only - investing privately through these services is hard as the reality is that you don't have a way to determine that the value you're paying is remotely correct. You're likely buying common shares sold by an employee or ex-employee - so bottom of the Cap Table - and you have no...

in my experience once the car hits 20% battery, it shuts down a bunch of systems and uses a lot less every day. You would’ve been fine if your trip was delayed a couple more days.

I'm not in your area, so can't make a recommendation - I'm in Chester County, PA. But you won't need the emissions test, just the inspection.

I haven't utilized Tidal so I can't compare the services - we do have a family Spotify subscription which is only a few more $ per month than an individual account.

you'll need a Tidal subscription to use the in-car integration. doesn't work with a free account. you need a Spotify family plan where everyone gets their own login, playlists, preferences, etc. that will solve the issue you're having with Spotify.

my recommendation would be to just Uber back and forth to the airport and leave your car at home. granted I fly out of PHL regularly where its near impossible to park at the airport now - but it also saves on all the planning and hassle as you're dropped and picked up right near checkin /...

average your maintenance costs over your 9 years of ownership. including this expensive repair. is it really much different than any other luxury sports sedan in the same price range when viewed in such a manner? I don’t think so. so, you’re upset at the lumpiness of the maintenance cost...

just route yourself to your final destination without supercharger stops and then add the supercharger you want as a stop on the way.

I left on 11/18 with ~ a 240 mile charge on my S - I left it unplugged. When I returned home on 12/12 I had ~ 170 miles remaining. I do have sentry mode off when it's at home in the garage. I've plugged it in on similar trips in the past and it will top up the charge once in a while - you'll...

Yes. It's a streaming service built into the car - just like Slacker. Looks like there are some stations that have been removed from the platform (see above) but all of my local stations are there and I listen to them anywhere even if I'm out of the area. Don't use it much but definitely not...

all the FM stations I would listen to and more are available on TuneIn Radio.

I have to log back in once in a while (scan the on screen QR code, login, and authorize vehicle on mobile) and usually works again after I do so.

have no idea what you're saying given the very short message with no details as to the problem. try this: set up your TuneIn account via web browser on a computer. log into that account in the Tesla.

I am correct - I've worked for banks for 25+ years including starting one we grew to be one of the largest ACH originators in the nation. I know the rules extensively. Call your bank and tell them that you have an unauthorized transaction that posted to your account. yes, there is not auth...

it's actually in Regulation E, which Wells Fargo is obligated to follow as is every bank in the US. I have accounts at Wells too and know they do, in fact, adhere to Reg E.

It is something one can do. a consumer can reject the second charge - all they have to do is contact their bank and notify them that the second transaction was unauthorized. the consumer will likely have to sign an attestation stating that and the bank will return that second transaction...

quite familiar thank you - how does that compare with the energy consumption of a dedicated private centralized ledger? how many of those decentralized ledgers that are updated are shared vs dedicated hardware platforms? how many are virtual? how much energy does a token in cold storage...

first, not all crypto is mined. some tokens are (like Bitcoin), but not all, so the dynamic you note is not the same across the whole space. second, once a token is mined it's been mined. no more energy necessary. denying the future because of the already absorbed sunk costs is not logical...

if you do a search you'll find that others have reported similar rates of battery drain when parked underground or in areas without cellular connectivity to the car - so, I think that is likely the cause. Not certain if there's a solution.

they didn't know about your modifications to the car at that time of the original estimate that they will need to reverse to eventually sell. It's really pretty simple.

as far as I can recall, the car has always required a wifi connection to install updates and they've never installed through the car's cellular connection.

this just worked for me in fixing the TuneIn issue - I logged out of my account in the Tesla and logged back in. the login procedure was different now vs when I originally authenticated myself using username and password. now is done by QR code and the mobile app. re-authenticating in this...

they also must assume that everyone has access to faster broadband - lets face it, 12 / 3 / 1 / .8 Mbps upstream is not fast. I recognize that in some areas people have no choice as that might be all that's available. but, at 300 Mbps upstream I couldn't care less about when they upload data...

I think a reasonable question and info you might provide to the community to help determine might be: what is 100% of your upstream bandwidth? for all we know you’re on an old slow DSL connection in some very rural area.

same experience here yesterday - Bloomberg Radio + TV channels working but not CNBC

Devon, PA has been my home center since 2015 across two Model S' - an 85D and now a 100D. They've always been great. Can't comment on Cherry Hill as no experience there.

sounds like a lot of over-engineering to fix a simple outlet problem you have with your specific configuration - which you could fix far easier then all of that you suggest. further, don't know how long you've had your Tesla, but, you didn't know to turn off cabin overheat when you're taking...

Really not comparable at all - Apple was a much more mature company when Jobs passed than Tesla is right now. Being a mature company with significant market share and an ecosystem that was difficult for competitors to crack provided Apple the ability to build onto what Jobs started by offering...

A liability? No. But, you take the bad with the good. how bold would Tesla be without Musk? would anyone else have pushed to deliver what he has in the short amount of time its taken? would anyone else continue to push the company forward as fast as him? Where would the stock be trading...

or it didn't happen .....

unlike 2011 auto sales have since peaked and are now in decline. Jobs would not have entered a market with the wind in his face - he created new markets he owned or entered markets with the wind at his back. quotes from 2011 just don't hold up given the market shifts he obviously would have...

iPhone v.1 did indeed require iTunes regardless of platform (Windows / Mac / etc) to install music and other services - the app store wasn't even available then and over the air syncing and install didn't come along for a bit. and, I'm sure that you are completely incorrect. building a car is...

Automatic Garage Opener

even Jobs knew he had to 'Microsoft' it on occasion - sometimes successfully, sometimes not. ie: the predecessor to the iPhone, the iPod, might not have blown up as much without iTunes on multiple OSs (Windows specifically). Further, Safari for Windows got no traction at all. I think you...

sentry mode turned on?

same - two + years. just have to get the settings right.

If you've never heard of it I'd suggest that you read some threads on this forum as it has been a common practice to schedule your car in for maintenance to get the next software upgrade. There has been no change in policy whatsoever. further, I don't disagree with you that you should be able...

my family has a BMW, Jeep Wrangler, and I drive the Tesla - every dealer upgrades the software of every car we have when it’s in for service. maybe you could have noted to the service team if you didn’t want it updated as it’s a pretty standard practice across all brands.

I use Teslafi and my car sleeps just fine. you just need to follow their detailed instructions and set various options appropriately.

Every time you use the app it wakes the car up and it will stay awake for some time after that before returning to sleep mode. stop checking it at all and see what your loss looks like. If you subscribe to TeslaFI or a like service you can measure this.

I’m on my second model S - first one was a 2015 S 85D and upgraded to a 2017 S 100D at the end of ‘17. Personally, I’ve experienced nothing but excellent service and communication for the service center in Devon, PA.

I paid in full in advance by ACH so nothing more was due prior to picking up the vehicle. I can't recall how long in advance I sent the $ but I would expect that it would have to be settled far enough in advance that they are comfortable.

looks to me like registration is still working fine ....... also, this is far better: A Better Routeplanner

not if they don't reveal who owns or is in the other vehicle, license plate, etc - just that it's a Tesla. there is no privacy issue with that whatsoever - nothing identifiable at all. as I noted, they already do this. you didn't seem to recognize that in your original post.

Read the T&C's - they already track location of the vehicles although access the data is restricted.

I think that you missed insurance in your annual expenses.

any impact on range in making this change?

Elon Musk Gets Embroiled in Crypto Scam That Offers Tesla Model S

broader and faster charging network, more range per charge, better comfort and performance from the vehicle ...... anything lacking from that equation and I'll stick with my Tesla (or future Tesla's).
