    Anyone interested in my M3 production slot (now)?

    No, I reserved it a long time ago. It hasn‘t been configured yet.

    Anyone interested in my M3 production slot (now)?

    I’m not taking my M3, it’s ready for spec now with deliver in 8-12 weeks. If interested, pm me.

    Driving high speed on the Autobahn...not possible

    Just to clarify, I do not own a Tesla...yet. Reason for being is the ‘communication problem’ with Tesla. I drive Autobahn daily, and it’s almost always empty and unlimited. So how a Tesla would react to high speed driving is very important to me. I tried to research the forums, nothing. Called...

    Driving high speed on the Autobahn...not possible

    Sooo, After hours and hours of unsuccessfully trying to find a single post or thread about driving high speeds on the Autobahn ( or wherever else you one can do it), I decided to take a P100D on the Autobahn. The results were devastating. Driving higher speeds with the Tesla is a sad affair...

    The "Is Tesla Going Bankrupt?" thread

    nice clickbait, isn’t it ;o) Let’s just assume this happens... Tesla is just months from a total collapse, says hedge-fund manager What would happen to my deposit?

    What comes with the Founders Edition that isn’t available in the standard production version?

    Good point, I will go with a non founder, too. Is the deposit refundable? I couldn‘t find info on this either...

    What comes with the Founders Edition that isn’t available in the standard production version?

    Well, I can‘t wait to drive this thing...especially since I live in Germany now. But living in Germany also means that I will get this car probably a year later than US customers. And by then there might be not a big difference in deliver times between the few founders models that go to Germany...

    What comes with the Founders Edition that isn’t available in the standard production version?

    Soo, I‘m placing my order right now, but I‘m stuck at selection Founders Edition or not. There‘s no explanation what the FE is, if it comes out first, and why it‘s 50k more expensive. Well, actually a lot more than 50k when you calculate compounding interest on 200k for 3 years (or maybe, most...

    Elon Musk’s Trump Outreach Is Angering The Resistance
  11. S

    Elon Musk

    Yes, he is unethical. It doesn't matter what he has done before. And we don't know why he became part of the Trump team, for the better good or for $$$. But one thing is for sure, it's a fact: He's still part of team Trump, he hasn't denounced Trump despite that Trump and Pence stand for...

    Elon Musk

    Elon Musk is an unethical **************! Everyone who still supports Trump at this point is one! And no, I'm not a Democrat. Elon Musk has power and reach. He should open his mouth and protest instead of joining Trump. **** that little tweet, Musk has shown his real side by joining Trumps...

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    So one needs react to the visual, not audible nags. Pardon my ignorance, but isn't it way more dangerous to constantly looking into the dashboard than onto the road? Wouldn't it be a lot safer when the nag one needs to react to in order to avoid AP shut off, would be audible, so the driver...

    7.1 > 8.0? Seems like an update for Tesla's legal team, and a net loss for customers.

    Thanks for linking to the AP8.0 video, but unfortunately it doesn"t show much. I still wasn't able to find a single review of the AP upgrade that talks about the nagging. Either only 10% of Tesla owners actually use the AP (which I suspect), or it only has rolled out extremely limited. Dunno...

    What does "ignore" mean in 8.0?

    I'm so surprised that no one here has posted a review of the 8.0 AP yet. It's so heavily discussed, yet the only thing owners, who already received the update, discuss is the media player?

    Who has the boasting right to #1 updated to v8.0?

    Amallah, who knows. If batteries are good for 5-600 miles in a couple years, then how often do you really need to recharge your car outside your home...I don't think power or battery will be a deciding factor in a couple years. I think it's going to be autonomous driving...

    Who has the boasting right to #1 updated to v8.0?

    S4, I agree, except one point. The current AP worked amazingly, better than anyone else's, hands on the wheel or not. But with the hardware switch to radar they probably, no one knows yet, had to basically restart their AP. And it may not work nearly as smooth anymore as it used to. Or maybe it...

    Who has the boasting right to #1 updated to v8.0?

    Musk is not Jobs. No one has any idea how Tesla can become profitable. The opposite was the case with Jobs.

    Incorrect. Mercedes Drive Pilot does not require the driver to have his hands on the steering wheel all the time. Same with Elon Musk, before AP 8.0 he clearly stated that one does not have to have his hands on the steering wheel all the times. Keeping your hands on the steering wheel when the...

    Soo, the big news about AP are finally here ( not sure why it took him so long, other than 2 year lease option run out tomorrow ), and no one has a clue about the question I raised as my main concern. "There also a large number of important improvements. Something I think will be quite...

    Luxury is the wrong word, maybe High End is better. I don't think I'm a 'luxury' guy, my current daily driver is a BMW X6M and my (almost) daily EV (hybrid) is a BMW I8. Some of the other cars range from BMW Z1 to Morgan Threewheeler, not exactly Mercedes S Class Luxury Sofa Seat ride... Anyway...

    Thanks for the input. I'm referring to the price tag when I say Luxury. The 100 is certainly in the elite, luxury, 1% whatever you want to call it, class with its price tag. And why would this car not be right for me if I ask about the experiences of other owners? Let me tell you about my...

    Thanks so far, very informative!! I'm too very concerned about Teslas ability so scale, and I forgot to mention this concern. That's why I want to do the 2 year lease. This way I can change back to a BMW, whatever, as my ski mobile ( hopefully by then they have Ap, too) in case *sugar* hits the...

    Not so sure anymore if I should get the P100D when I read all these threads...

    So, I'm about to lease a P100D ($150,000) and I'm exited about it. Well, I was...until I started doing my research. I'm unsure for a couple reasons. The main reason is the delay of AP update info. IMHO this tweet by the CEO was completely unprofessional. But what's worse is that no one followed...

    AutoPilot 2.0 Updates Pending

    Well, as I said, for me it's all about AP. I go skiing every weekend and it's a 3 hours plus *sugar* show driving back...in stop and go highway traffic. I really do not want to hold the steering wheel at stop and go crawls. Honestly, I think the 100's interior and technology is a joke for a 150k...

    AutoPilot 2.0 Updates Pending

    Still no update, at least I haven't seen one. Now if some Joe Blow would tweet an announcement, who cares, but this is the CEO of one of the hottest and largest car manufacturers in the world. Maybe I'm old school, but I don't think he should have tweeted it from the beginning, but release a...

First of all, what an embarrassing presentation (of course all this is my own opinion). Way late, and no one...
