First, a coast to coast demonstration is not realistic. Automatic charging would be required. Next, with all the construction that is going on, and many construction sites that do not follow "rules of the road" with proper lane marking, etc., the country (US) is not yet ready everywhere...

If Tesla decided to advertise, the best approach would be "education". Maybe the best start would be with "can your electric car do this?", followed by a simple demonstration. Remember, the public can only learn one thing at a time, and any competition may be forced to lie with the answer. Now...

First, I had a similar experience dealing with several police over reacting to a complaint about me from a city part employee. I even was handcuffed for the first time in my life. In my case I was lucky that several of the responding police were sane enough to quiet down the first responding...

I hesitate to say this, but we need to understand. First, expect that to drop off again when the Covid-19 cases spike again. You can't turn careless humans loose without expecting to infect larger numbers again. However, many of us have learned from the past and may need to enforce things like...

The study is biased, because there is not a large enough sample to predict how the whole population will perform. There is also a learning curve for owners, service facilities, manufacturers, etc. that will eventually show a very different legitimate cost to insurance companies. If they want to...

Great news. I hope this is an example we can follow.

Stiff ride is necessary in any performance car to hold the road. Wind noise is only noticed because the rest of the car is so quiet, especially compared to an ICE car.

Thanks for sharing. We need to get the attention of these inconsiderate people.

At this point, how can you assume anything, then complain.

Many years ago, I learned a somewhat crude expression that says it all "It takes 100 at-a-boys, to make up for one awe-sh.." I think the angry emotion seems more vocal than the satisfied customer. Divide the angry complaints by 100, and you get a more accurate ratio of reality. Just look at...

Try speaking from an informed position and not just one trip from sunny California. Spending some time in Norway, with the people who understand Tesla in cold weather, might help you.

I agree. And I wish them luck.

Let's see: 10,000 pre-orders vs 450,000 pre-order in 2016. What's wrong with this picture?

Sometimes, in life, it is best to just "do something", rather than putting the responsibility on someone else to "approve" it, especially when your are sure it will not harm others. This is especially true when you are willing to set a "precedent", which will help others and maybe even set a...

It sounds to me that you do not know what "beta" means. This was a lot of work to complain about something. I'm glad Elon had the guts to let us test this, knowing there are people like you around.

Way to go, Tiger. Let's keep them all honest.

I agree completely. I also have a Model S and would never go back to any ICE car. I even traded in my Porsche for my Tesla. I have to warn everyone "do not take a test drive in a Tesla unless you are prepared to buy one". You will never go back.

I think this was one of the better sessions. Elon knows what he is doing. I particularly liked the YouTube questions and the honest and informed answers. I look forward to more of these kind of interactions.

I you trust Elon, as I do, I think our investment will be worth it. He has not let me down yet.

I think Dale Carnegie said that “Nobody kicks a dead dog”. Tesla is changing the world, and a lot of people feel threatened. I love my Model S and would never go back to an ICE. A little boy once asked an old fisherman why he did not cover his bait bucket to keep the bait from crawling out. The...

I have a day one reservation for a model 3. However, 6 months ago I test drove a model S and immediately ordered one. I've decided that some people just are not ready for a Tesla; however I haven't met any yet. I warn people to not test drive one unless they are prepared to buy one. It is the...

Why can't they be charged from a generator? If I can charge my Model S from my home, that has a backup generator, why can't I charge a powerwall that is in my home? That way the generator does not have to run all the time.

It is interesting that you found so much wrong with your (almost) Tesla, but can't see anything wrong with your written words. dont, knwo, etc. I guess we all have our priorities.

I took a test drive, then ordered a Model S. When it arrived it was not what I expected; it was better. It continues to get better and better. My model 3 reservation was on April 1, 2016. If you expect Tesla to freeze some configuration you think you want, you are shopping for the wrong car. You...
