    Tesla denied warranty for Upper control arms because of Aftermarket Suspension

    On 4/5/22 I had Tesla replace upper control arms under warranty and I have a MPP suspension. I've had 5 part replacements in 4 years. My request for an extension on my warranty was declined. No surprise. So I've decided to "go public" with all my DEFECTIVE part replacement issues. Over the...

    Yeah, I Bought A Digital License Plate.....sigh.....

    I purchased a Digital License plate from Reviver in July 2018 for a total cost of $1150 including installation and a 3 year service subscription. 9 months later, the plate screen became detached from the license plate frame making it not road worthy. On April 24th I returned the faulty plate to...

    Explain As If I'm Five: Could TSLA offer long term M3 rentals if there are HW upgrades every 18 mos?

    Car cozy not mine I'm afraid. I was in the parking lot of Lucas Films when some people "yarn bombed" their friend's car....

    Explain As If I'm Five: Could TSLA offer long term M3 rentals if there are HW upgrades every 18 mos?

    Actually I'm not looking for a special deal. I just don't want to have to go through the hassle of trading in my car every 18 mos in order to avail myself of the latest TSLA technology. Unless, that is, trading in my car every 18 months would not be a hassle. It would be a breeze right?

    Explain As If I'm Five: Could TSLA offer long term M3 rentals if there are HW upgrades every 18 mos?

    Thanks all for the feedback. Even though it's rather costly, I like where Cadillac and Audi are going with their car rental services ...... But for now, I think I'll hold off on my M3 purchase until the 2G comes out and then trade up every 18-24 mos. It feels kinda like playing double-dutch...

    Explain As If I'm Five: Could TSLA offer long term M3 rentals if there are HW upgrades every 18 mos?

    Correct. My suggestion was to return my used car back to their pool for use for car sharing or other purposes. So, my overall take away is that even though the technology for cars is advancing at a breakneck pace, the means for paying for them will never change. Ever.

    Explain As If I'm Five: Could TSLA offer long term M3 rentals if there are HW upgrades every 18 mos?

    I spoke to a Tesla rep yesterday and he said that leasing would be the more expensive option than purchasing. I'm guessing that at some point Tesla will evolve into a transportation utility rather than a product so people could just "borrow" a car indefinitely from their pool. When cars are...

    Explain As If I'm Five: Could TSLA offer long term M3 rentals if there are HW upgrades every 18 mos?

    I currently have my M3 reservation and now this planned obsolescence scenario kinda confuses me. Why buy a 1G M3 now when there's a better 2G, 3G, 4G down the road? Why can't TSLA just offer a long term payment plan like ATT's Next where I can upgrade every 12-24 months indefinitely? Buying a...

    Hyperloop Construction Starts 2016 With the First Full-Scale Track

    I was involved with HTT for a second and received a contract as a "Senior Project/Operations Manager". However, truth be told, I'm hedging my bets on Brogan Bam-Brogan given his background with SpaceX and significant funding/backing from Shervin Pishewar......

    2014 Annual Shareholders Meeting

    Advice I would give to Roy P - To paraphrase a bit of wisdom I received from a producer when I was working with musicians....."If you've really got something going on.....people [read: Elon] will be coming to you not the reverse"
