    Audi etron in person, disappointing?

    Huh, so you want to pay $30K for better seats and UI? Not being snarky -- just hard for me to believe that people have such different preferences.

    Tesla Software Version 10.0

    Tesla is talking about Netflix or other video content as part of Premium Connectivity (only when vehicle is parked).

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Group, help me out here and see if I've got this right. Did you listen to the earnings call? The analysts all piled onto TSLA because they didn't meet a 20% gross margin target on the vehicles, but TSLA never issued an estimate on gross margin. They did 18.9% gross margin in Q2 (down from...

    Lobbyist for tesla/uber gave me the timeline for FSD

    Ha ha, yes. And there was some other discussion about autonomous parking recognizing ALL parking signs in the near future. I don't know which one is more whack.

    FSD price drop to $3000

    That is probably because you never bought EAP. It's $3K for EAP, then $3K for FSD (if you have the hardware). Tesla did a confusing job of messaging all this.

    Lobbyist for tesla/uber gave me the timeline for FSD

    I'm a huge Elon/Tesla fan, but I'm with this poster. My husband and I had a bet, I think it was back in 2017, based on Elon's assertion that they'd have a FSD Tesla cross the country with no human intervention, by the end of the year. Nope, I win, and still waiting. This could still only...

    I bought a 6 digit car...not a video game.

    I personally cut Tesla an enormous amount of slack. Are my MX wing doors a bit balky? Does my browser need to be reset with a soft boot pretty often? Did I think my AP would work a lot better by now? Yes, yes, and yes. But Tesla is succeeding at a world-changing mission by showing the major...

    Model S Photo Gallery

    Link not working? I was hoping to see one with the deep green they used to offer.

    Caught Speeding...

    You know, the good thing is that there is still widespread ignorance in the police force about Teslas. If they knew better, they would ask us to show the Energy Usage screen for any kind of traffic stop!

    Model S Questions (Urgent as I was going to buy tomorrow)

    The above is the right answer re the battery! Also, the software will continue to improve, but you are constrained by the hardware, so work on figuring that part out.

    2019.24.4 & Auto Pilot (not good)

    Didn't watch the whole video, but I did see how it crossed into the other lane on a pretty tight turn. My 2016 MX doesn't have the most upgraded AP, but I wouldn't even trust my husband's M3-P on something like that. You have to constantly watch it and be ready to take over at any time!

    Brand new owner have a question about a noise

    Once, this happened to me -- but it certainly wasn't just after purchase. Something had gotten caught underneath the carriage and was hitting the tire (but not all the time). Had to bring it in to service twice before they believed me and found the problem!

    Car still asks for key card even with key fob

    Not wild about the M3/key card situation. Half the time, I can't connect to my husband's car as the "thinking" wheel on the app just spins and spins, especially when coverage is bad.

    Tesla adding chess to the Arcade!

    Ughh, I definitely don't want to relax with challenging games -- my head is so full from my regular life, that I prefer the mindless. Waiting for Tetris.

    Model x payment for supercharging

    I couldn't tell whether you were being charged or not, but if you are only getting 28 kw, you need to move to another charger. Whenever possible, make sure that you aren't sharing a charger with another car (some have an A/B configuration), so avoid being next to another car if you can.

    Thinking about joining legal action on recent massive price cut

    Well-stated, poster! Sadly, though, nothing will stop OP from suing, alleging fraud and the like, as long as he can fund his own legal fees -- he won't be finding any lawyer willing to take this one on contingency! :rolleyes:

    Super Bulls Only

    Completely agree with the above. One analyst I was just listening to pointed out that there is all his hullaballoo, but TSLA share price is where it was less than 2 weeks ago. Very volatile stock -- not for the faint of heart, but I think it's for those who can envision the future and filter...

    Backup Camera Contrast Changes are Terrible!

    Yes, what happened there? Don't tell me I actually have to use my old swivel-neck muscles to back up!! :)

    Beep... beep beep

    Some new Easter egg? Ha. Nope, never heard of that on any Tesla forum or experienced it.

    Fast Charging & Supercharging Stations will be added at the Florida Turnpike service plazas

    I have always thought this would be a perfect place for SC's. We have taken two huge trips in my MX -- the first was almost 7500 miles in 2017, and this year almost 3500. We've SEEN the SC network! They should also do a deal with Cracker Barrel, since they are basically everywhere.

    Poll: Have you bought TSLA shares?

    Both my husband and I, as well as our two teenagers, own TSLA shares. We are definitely "long TSLA"! Travelled to the shareholders' meeting once and hope to do so again.

    Ludicrous Mode

    Sometimes owning a Tesla can be as complex as keeping all the settings on your laptop correctly set! Not complaining!

    Model 3 Performance - without performance pack vs with performance pack

    My husband has had two M3s now, one performance and one not (he sold the non-P one to a friend). As a driver and passenger of both, I can tell you that the differences are just the styling and the slightly higher 0-60 mph (though the non-P one "felt" faster and more agile than my MX -- it's...

    Elon Confirms S & X Are Chopped Liver

    I can only assume that you are not interested in buying an EV, as I can't think of any EV with even-near equivalent specs in terms of speed, range, charging infrastructure, and self-driving/AP. Are you going back to an ICE car with all their problems for a better HVAC, better windshield wipers...

    How does one justify it...

    It's definitely worth it. To replace the Volvo XC90 I used to drive (until maintenance issues at usually $3,000 a pop made me give up after 6 years), it would have been at least $65,000. We charge at night at ridiculously low rates here in GA, so that replaces the $4,000/year I was spending on...

    What's the likelihood we will see Speed Limit Sign recognition?

    The Mobile Eye patent has nothing to do with reading speed limit signs. It's all about calibrating actual speed: "Systems and methods may calibrate an indicator of speed of an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system may include at least one processor programmed to: receive from a...

    Implication of Free Supercharging on used S value

    That is very helpful -- thank you!

    A message to Tesla. Just look at the top Forum posts. Time for FSD

    I agree with Bballou. Software is hard, and EAP/FSD is an area in which the company must tread carefully. On the other hand, a lot of us bought MS and MX's that will never have those capabilities due to hardware issues, and that is just something we will need to expect. For one, I am very...

    Implication of Free Supercharging on used S value

    Hmm, I will be interested in any feedback you get on this query. One of the "drivers" (ha ha) behind my purchase of my MX in 2016 was the free Supercharging. Though I'm a lawyer, I didn't verify whether I had this in writing (my bad), but I've always thought of Tesla as a company that worked...

    Has anyone opted out of TM's collection of your vehicle's telematics data?

    I'm a privacy lawyer, Elon fangirl and wife of a devoted Tesla driver, and I'm writing on article on privacy concerns in connected cars. In addition to the hacking angle, I am interested in anyone who has attempted to limit the data Tesla can collect on you. From their privacy policy on...
