    Supercharger blocking? Elon promises a solution

    "We envision a future where cars move themselves once fully charged, enhancing network efficiency and the customer experience even further. Until then, we ask that vehicles be moved from the Supercharger once fully charged. One would never leave a car parked at a gas station right at the pump...

    Elon about Model 3: "free long distance" Supercharging "not free local"

    Elon's comments are cryptic in nature. I think he doese this on purpose to get people speculating. I posted this on another thread but He's increasingly doing this more and more and my trust in what he says is slowly going down over time. I think he's got to be careful. especially over time...

    Elon about Model 3: "free long distance" Supercharging "not free local"

    This... I agree. I think everyone else is reading too much into his words. Free destination chargers makes sense as Tesla wouldn't be paying for that anyway

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    Thanks for all of the comments/replies to this post Some I agree with and some I do not. The fact that we can argue each of these both ways furthers my point. Elon's comments are cryptic in nature (especially on twitter) and one must read between the lines a bit to understand them. Now...

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    Elon's been known to play with words a bit and my level of trust in what he says is going down slowly over time 1. Supercharging will be "free for life" . Although technically true for all users who purchased a Tesla so far, this was obviously intended to give the assumption that it would be...

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    I don't think ANY of the base price was allocated toward supercharging with S, X or 3 which is why he indicated why the S and X price may have been recently raised. margins are already super thin as it is with 3, so even $500 is a lot of $ to have factored in for anything I agree that this...

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    Yes, I agree with this. and having it "option" will allow people that do not think they would ever user SC network to opt out of it completely and add it later if they choose to this may be why they indicate all Teslas will have the "Hardware" come standard (not enabled)

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    I agree. i am just hung up on the verbiage that they used. I am sure they have dozens of people review these posts prior to releasing them so I am hopeful, but still skeptical i guess. Anyway, I am a huge fan and i think the move is a good one.

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    I see what you are saying, but with that logic then self driving would also be free since all model 3 will come standard with the "hardware" for self driving? or maybe they have yet to come up with a business practice around that just yet Maybe i am a bit skeptical here but Elon has been...

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    Do you know this for sure? Do you have a source link anywhere? Just by the announcement today i dont think we can be 100% for sure

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    Correct. However, will you need to pay to enable the supercharging capability? They said all teslas will come with the supercharging "hardware", any time they say "hardware" i am skeptical a bit. Will we need to pay for the option to enable this supercharging hardware via a software...

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    Yeah.. Its a fairly predictable response and I'm sure Tesla expected this type of reaction from certain players. It will be interesting to see if Tesla is/was prepared for any bargaining or collaboration opportunities that may happen shortly and if they have a strategic response. Or maybe they...

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    This.. It's a foundation to build upon. Many many opportunitys will exist in the future to profit off of. Some we cannot even imagine or understand yet. But the foundation exists and it's the fact that those possibilities will exist in the futur to profit off of is what matters.

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    I don't think they are wearing blinders. I think they realize it's a threat. But I think they drastically underestimated how quickly it would be adopted and accepted and now it's on the verge of being too late to compete. So they are left to try and fight it. The ones that adapt quickly and...

    Interesting analysis of Model 3 Reservation holders

    Fantastic article. Pretty much spot on for me

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.. sounds like they are still on stage 1 :)

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    True. they could copy the car no problem. But they would not be even capable of copying the software. even if tesla provided all the details and blueprints I still dont think they would know what to do with them.

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    The $35,000 is not what will make it profitable. its the software / battery updates and new features hat will make it profitable. Give away the car at cost, sell the software later. $1000.00 for autopilot, $500.00 for summons feature, $ 500,00 for new feature 2 years from now..etc. they...

    Fiat can do it in 12!

    i think it was more of a back handed comment .. building the car is the easy part (well, ok relatively easy) The harder part is everything else.. Creating and testing the software to make it work, the OTA update backend,, battery..etc. There is no way that they are even capable of doing...

    How does the trunk work on the Model 3

    If you live in a snow prone area the way the trunk opens may be a problem?. Looks like you will get a trunk full of snow with the way the trunk opens in that picture.

    Model 3 preorder count

    This could really push Model S and X sales .. I would imagine that there will be a lot of people that reserved the model 3 that will spring for the model S or X to get the car earlier. Especially the ones that were on the fence between 3 or S

    Petition to remove the 200,000 US sales cap for the $7,500 EV Tax Credit

    The purpose of the tax rebate is to encourage the manufacturing and selling of EV's , So If 100,000 people sign a petition to extend the tax rebate on EV's, Then you could argue the the tax rebate purpose has succeeded and the extension is not needed..... But i want save 7500 so ill probably...

    Does it make sense to reserve a Model 3 asap if you want a base version?

    Long time reader, first time poster! I found this from the Model X reservation agreements. It looks like Tesla has the discretion to establish or change the sequence in reservations??? Maybe they do this for founders or early employees?... Does anyone know if they give you the sequence...
