I received this $1,000 discount text for any of the S3XY models from Tesla because I am an early CyberTruck reservation holder: (For keyword search, I'll also include the phone number without the country code: 9498688955.) I think I put the reservation in within a day or a week of the reveal...

Why does Tesla winter test their cars in New Zealand rather than USA? USA has several mountains with snow on them, and several states where it snows a lot. It seems counterproductive to avoid working with the primary customer base and readying the local facilities and instead spend a lot of...

I thought this would be an appropriate time to inform others of what we see from this side of the wall. You can have your own opinions, of course. I just thought it was responsible to disclose it in case anyone ever blame me for "not telling them". This is representative of what we've been...

Right now my 5.6kW solar system (not a Tesla system) is generating 56 watts. That's how dark it is right now. I first saw this problem in my Tesla PowerWall app. It's showing 0 solar (I guess it rounds down). Today it peaked at 840 Watts. Mostly it has been low. In the picture, solar is...

I just have a general three paragraph piece I wrote to open people's minds up and clean out some of the crud that's collected there. Here's the post, which I copy below: Energy vs. Politics If you take the politics out of clean energy, you learn that all the political people on all sides are...

Elon Musk posted this poll, got this response, and replied in this way: POLL: "Build super safe, Earthquake-proof tunnels under cities to solve traffic" Definitely 66.7% Maybe 17.5% No, I like traffic 15.9% 1,414,176 votes, 1 hour left; link to tweet to see final results: Elon Musk on Twitter...

Does the Model Y have walk-in seating like pickup trucks and some SUVs have? How much back room and headroom is in the Model Y? I.e., can normally large men fit in it? Since I don't think Tesla is shipping Model Y yet, I guess this question has to be left to people who have access to the dev...

Merry Christmas!

It's raining with forecast wind in California, and the Powerwall Storm Watch is not on. What a pathetic company.

This is from the transcript Dropbox - Aaron Musk pdf.pdf - Simplify your life which is dated June 1, 2019, starting in page 40. === Shark: So do you have to have engineers involved in every installation or is that just engineers working on the concept and then those go into each installation...

Bjørn Nyland went 1Mm (1,000km) in Model 3 with 15% left SOC in only 10.01 hours including a lot of rain. Due to a few minutes he could have saved here and there, for all practical intents and purposes, the run was 1,000km in 10 hours. Within a few days, he will post his video at Bjørn Nyland.

Note that only European Teslas are bisexual; the North American ones only stay with their own kind. I don't know about China. They may be versatile as well.

Tesla has been improving on this matter, but it bears repeating. I think in the past Tesla put SuperChargers where ever they could. But one problem me and many others ran into is that at SuperChargers there were not normal fill up facilities, like food, coffee, and bathrooms, like at gas...

Would I be right Tesla owners would like a new feature of a parking spot sensor to sense when a car is blocking the parking spot to inform everyone of the availability? Maybe a camera could figure it out, or some device mounted in the pedestal. It wouldn't be necessary everywhere, but this...

What password? I don't have a password for my PowerWall Gateway.

From my Tesla app when trying to sign into it: "Sign-In Failed Server is under maintenance. Please try again later." I hope that is exactly what it says. I searched for it on TMC and on the Internet and found nothing. So: is anyone else getting that right now? Does anybody's work?

I'm having trouble changing my Tesla.Com account password. Apparently, it can only be done on a browser, and in every browser I tried, you can't use password managers' copy and paste function. Back when I had a car, I had a maximum length password which would take 5 minutes to type in a...

Still a problem: plugging in a car when your hands are full. Still need robotic plugs for electric cars. I just witnessed an elderly relative skip plugging in because her hands were full. We need to fix this. I'm not saying it has to be fixed for everyone right away, but it is a hole in the...

Wanted: an EVSE level 2 charger that is UL listed for USA and in good safe condition, 240 volts. I'll accept anything 12 amps or above. Preferred: Made in USA, or alternatively, a load balancing Tesla HPWC/Wall Connector that I can interface with my existing Tesla HPWC (because I actually...

Moderators: please delete this thread since I found a better category. Everyone else: See Wanted: Level 2 charger, 240 volts

How much to Chinese products pollute when shipped to USA? For instance, how much pollution do the ships that ship the products to USA pollute while shipping between China and USA?

This is regarding the USA considering accepting Greenland into our States.

Time for Tesla to put SuperChargers in Greenland.

Version 2019.12.1.2 update video for Navigate on Autopilot by Alex Venz:

I’d like an image upload button to auto blur license plates.

There is a rental special during April 2019 at Enterprise Rent-A-Car right now for $150/day for a Tesla Model S; check the Stevens Creek Santa Clara branch.

Enterprise Rent-a-Car has a Manager’s Special in the South San Francisco Bay area for April 2019 of $150/day for Tesla cars including Model S. I upgraded my rental while my car is in the shop, and I’m enjoying the Model S 75D right now. It is far better than the car I was going to get from the...

Broward county, Florida has a distortion field around it, so I don't trust anything coming out of it. I'm still suspicious, but I can't do anything about it other than to say STAY AWAY FROM BROWARD COUNTY AT ALL COSTS.

Part of this is letting the utilities come up with their own solutions. This allows the utilities to budget for grid expansion and solar panel energy expansion. While Tesla is still in its infancy, this allows the utilities to experience the trends themselves, so when they really have to do...

Energy used for freedom: Someday, we can do this with solar energy! Meanwhile, the old-energy concerns are duking it out, with the oppressors vs. the freedom lovers.

The recent announcement of CCS Model 3 for Europe and converting Europe SuperChargers to also have a CCS plug (https://electrek.co/2018/11/14/tesla-model-3-ccs-2-plug-europe-adapter-model-s-model-x/) makes me wonder if Tesla slowed local SuperCharger investment until they knew how they were...

Tesla, Today around 1PM, you can see I turned off my PowerWalls. Do you know why? Because I wanted to use more of my stored electricity during the evening when solar is not shining and use the solar energy available from the grid during the day during non-peak hours rather than fossil fuels...

Since I wanted to build in Monterey County once, I'm going to take this opportunity to see if anybody can give me further information, in case I ever get back in that position again. Are there any experts on how these fees work, for instance, if a "Coastal Exemption" is applied for and issued...

A politician bought by evil interests introduced a bill that goes way overboard in eliminating welfare for those who don't buy disgusting Internal Combustion Engine based vehicles. Oil (used to fuel gas cars), coal (non-solar), airlines (not clean electric drive competing with Tesla)...

Complete plastic wrap (glass roof helping reduce wrap area), or at least a high quality ceramic coating, are recommended. In the case of ceramic coating, my experience was that it allowed me to get the sap off with less potential damage to the underlying paint. However, sap is strong, so it...

I ramble on a bit here about that. AT&T has always been a horrible company in my experience. I think the reason Elon went with them is that the cellular network they bought in LA were originally the first company to build out every pocket of Los Angeles back when they were the unestablished...

CHAdeMO Adapter (North America) for sale. In Aptos, California.

Brainstorming: These ideas are good for a number of SuperChargers, but are thought of in particular for this one: This might be a good location for a professional service, such as hand wash exterior of the car. They could put a drive-through sprayer by the Safeway entrance, and if you want to...

Los Gatos has been targeted by those who want to destroy US society over the last 3 or more years, and maybe some of their new agitators noticed an opportunity, and called that in to their thief buddies. Whatever the reason, we now know that the infection of thought of stealing from that...

Ever since PG&E finally finished the paperwork of our PowerWalls, since we also have solar, we have been put into the following billing "rate schedule": NEM2MT B Net Energy Metering Multiple Tariff Here's a sample of the PG&E bill: That is the entire electricity billing page that is...

Tesla, It would cost you and your customers less money, time, and hassle, if you allowed Powerwall 2 customers to pay for their jobs in the online Tesla.Com system. Ditto for any other services and products you offer, such as Tesla Roof, etc. Sincerely, a Powerwall 2 customer who could not do...

I applied for work for them in 2007 but I suppose I didn’t meet their demographic affirmative action mandates. It’s ok: I think they’ve lowered their standards so much now that it would be unsafe for me to work there, so I’m no longer interested in working for mass death incineration forest...

Many communist influenced towns have enacted tough regulations requiring all parking stalls to be extremely narrow and tight and mandatory minimums for driving area width and parking spot size, and that coupled with the economic need to pack in more tight parking for more cars leads to a pretty...

Tesla parts are made in China, including computer parts. That means Chinese could hack any of those computer parts. I don't know what parts they have access to now. From Tesla suppliers start to see higher volumes from Model 3 production ramp up: We have to assume that any computer part is...

Lithium–titanate battery - Wikipedia I first saw reference to this in the comment section of A stunning new all-electric catamaran with massive battery pack goes into operation: Here's a quote from Wikipedia: They might seem well tailored for boats.

Here are some of the comments I made onto Electrek that it never published, using the Disqus system. Notice that "Disqus" is misspelled, so that means it is trying to fool us into thinking it's for discussion, but they don't want it to be for discussion. Tesla deployed over 300 Powerwalls in...

It might be easier for me to bribe the bartender, because I don't drink alcohol :confused:. I love the idea though. My father was an expert at that, and would gather intel all the time that way. He had lots of stories of getting information. If he were still alive, maybe he could teach me...

I don't know what "SXSW" is, but "SXSW 2018" and Elon Musk are together today at 10AM PDT, 17:00 UTC, 12:00PM local time in Texas with a livestream at SXSW Live Stream | SXSW Conference & Festivals: Elon Musk at SXSW 2018 [Ticket Information] His tweet: Elon Musk on Twitter Livestream...

I think discussing regular use practices of PowerWall systems with solar at home would make sense.
