    Warranty

    I have not watched the video yet so I hope I am wrong. I see the warranty only covers 100k on drivetrain? As someone who cannot afford 50k$ car I have to wait for used and very disappointed that it's only 100k. If target is a million miles please keep model s drivetrain warranty unless raced or...

    Using the 2170 cells any guess how low they could get the total pack weight down to for a 40kwh pack? I am thinking of an off road application.

    Drafting.. range effect

    Hey so how far can the radar see when it's tracking what's happening in front of the car you are following? Seems this would make drafting a lot safer if it can "see" what's going on. If it does not feel confident it could increase the trailing distance.

    Manpower per car

    hi, I am curious if anyone knows what the projected man hours per model 3 will be? I was wondering if there's any data on how many man-hours per car it took General Motors when it was operating Fremont how many hours it took when it was Toyota GM and how many hours it will take with all the...

    Future charging trends

    Due to an accident I am considering leasing a bolt, assuming I can get one while waiting for the three. Ultimately I would see having two threes or a three and a Toyota ev. Wondering what's best to do for this situation charging wise. Should I go ahead and spring for 100 amp circuit now...

    Deer and autopilot

    does anyone know what a reasonable expectation is for deer avoidance? I know they are not going to guarantee this but what's a reasonable expectation? We had another deer strike today. It seems to be happening much more frequently and safety would be my main reason for stretching and buying a 3.

    Drafting.. range effect

    I was bike riding today and needed a break so I drafted for about a mile. I got to wondering how much of an effect this would have on range for a tesla and what autopilot setting would you have to use? I would only want to draft a tractor trailer on an interstate when the volume is very light...

    Extended warranty and pre-paid maintenance

    I see your point Toyota sells over a million corollas a year so some suppliers would not have been interested in working with a low volume company.

    Extended warranty and pre-paid maintenance

    Why are the service agreements so expensive? If they want reduced maintenance to be a selling point stand behind the product. I think I paid about a grand for timing belt water pump all the hoses and belts trans fluid and brake fluid when I did a 200k service on a ford and a Toyota. I wish...

    They should let FCA trade their 200k EV allotment to Tesla for the clean air credit or what ever it is that they have been buying from Tesla.

    Extended warranty and pre-paid maintenance

    I do appreciate the 8 year unlimited mileage part of the drive train warranty. I wish they would improve the warranty on the rest of the car. I realize in theory EV should be much more reliable so why not a 5/100 bumper to bumper exclude brakes and keep the power train warranty the way it is.

    I am curious how autonomous vehicles will deal with rail road track crossings without arms? I had watched a news program about rail road crossing safety and the next day I realized trees were obscuring the lights for a track I cross every day. I had not seen a train here at this time of days for...

    White House Petition to Extend EV Tax Credit

    Well I got a call from the Representatives office. They agree it's good to reduce dependency on foreign oil. They are a strong advocate for the keystone pipeline. No commitment for support of EV. I know how to vote now

    Tax Credit Clarification

    Has anyone written their senators or congressperson ? I just wrote mine to ask them to expand beyond 200k the full tax credit. I don't see this current congress doing anything that would deprive oil companies of $'s but it's worth a shot.
