To any moderator - Can I get my account removed and all my posts removed please? I don't see a way to do this. I sent a PM but not entirely sure it went through.

Thanks everyone for bashing me! I'm not a victim nor am I entitled. i discussed openly the process I went through - apparently that's too much for the people here to handle. Stop attacking me - I'm leaving this forum so stop.

This is more like buying a computer and expecting to be able to plug it in to any outlet and not expecting it to need special charging. It's like buying a computer and expecting it to work, as opposed to needing to know programming to use it. I've heard people smugly say you should build your...

I see this was discussed here four years ago...and seems nothing has changed. Model S for renters (a.k.a. non-homeowners) / Renting creating hurdle for EV adoption Yes...I guess I was expecting the Supercharger network to grow and grow and to use it as a gas station. I didn't really think...

I feel that there's a certain smugness here. If Elon said that model 3 is intended only for people who own homes (and to a very limited extent to others who can manage to jump through hoops) I missed that. Can anyone point me to where he said this? I'm a huge fan of Elon and Tesla and feel...

There are two articles linked to in this thread. They indicate a very serious problem. Obviously, the vast majority of people on this forum do not have this problem. I feel that as a result there's an air of dismissiveness towards those of us who do. I rent an apartment. BTW, I used to rent a...

Tesla’s low-cost Model 3 sedan could make overcrowded public charging points even more crowded

No, we get it, we're not stupid. Tesla runs on electricity. We just didn't think through to the fact that it needs to be charged at home and if you don't OWN A HOUSE then this becomes a major obstacle.

How do you ask Tesla a question? I wish they'd see this thread. This is a big deal. This is precisely the sort of thing that Elon understands - you have to solve the whole problem to make the plan work. But what about charging for the common man/woman who doesn't control the means of...

I thought Model 3 was the mass market phase. I put down $1000 w/o thinking that I won't have anywhere to charge it. I'm not worried about the money, I know I can get it back. I've been lusting for a Tesla for years. It's my main ambition in life. It's become my main interest in life! I'm keeping...

Is the conclusion therefore that if you don't own a house then - forget about owning a Tesla? And that charging will require in the future loads of planning and so forth as it somewhat does today? And that you will never be able to go anywhere you want for as long as you want? If true, then...

Oh, OK. So what's the cost to own and operate a Tesla excluding possible supercharger cost?

I have no idea how I'll charge my Tesla. I've given it no thought whatsoever beyond thinking I'll charge at Superchargers, just like I 'charge' today at gas stations. I also gave no thought to how I'd charge my laptop before I got the first one, or how I'd charge my various gadgets before I got...

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. One of THE limitations to EV adoption is range, right? Tesla has to a certain extent solved that and with the expansion of the supercharger network it will get better and better. It needs to get to the point where you can go anywhere, just like with an ICE...

I don't care if the mirrors are falling off...or if the front looks a bit funny...I love the model 3 and want it...need it...imperfections and all...I'll forgive the looks and the falling off mirrors...just give me my Tesla already...been waiting a decade or so...

I haven't measured it but I probably drive 10,000 miles/yr in long trips and in addition more miles in shorter day trips, and I intend for the model 3 to be my only car. Superchargers are a necessity (I need a lot more then there are now) and if I need to pay for them - not seeing the problem.

I see. I didn't think about that since I don't yet own a tesla and sort of assumed I'd always go to a supercharger, without giving it much thought. Nonetheless, I still feel that superchargers are the key for me to be able to own a Tesla, since I take long road trips, and if I have to pay some...

If it will cost something around 2,500 to enable free supercharging for life (and this is made up by the OP, so it's a complete hypothetical), how does that compare to what you pay for gas? According to AAA an average family spends close to $10,000/yr on gas. Edited to add: about...

Post number 26 in this thread explains everything: Now you can see why I sold all my shares

So I guess I'm not imagining the absence. It was very weird to listen to. ELEPHANT here jumping up and down, yet nobody sees it.

It could be me and a lack of concentration but I just heard this bit on NPR (OPB) about electric cars and mysteriously Tesla seems to be missing from the discussion. I could be wrong, getting more attention deficited by the minute. Transcript attached. In Portland, Enthusiasts And...

OMG, that was wonderful! You win! You win the internet! Wonder if the people at Tesla have seen this.

No, I have no idea why you sold your shares. I can barely understand what you wrote there.

'I, Robot' can't have been a remake of Total Recall, can it? I don't remember anything about 'Total Recall', ironically, But 'I, Robot' was an adaptation of Asimov's story while 'Total Recall' was based on a Philip K Dick story.

Real ones. :) I wonder when they first appeared on film and how they evolved over the years. Another one is obscure and no one else here will have seen it - 'Cold Lazarus', a Dennis Potter TV series.

The Fifth Element. I think in the 'Gridlock' episode of Dr. Who where they're trapped for generations in a traffic jam.

Saw this about an electric self driving Mercedes bus. Actually maybe it's not electric? A city bus with the soul of an S-Class

Which films have self driving vehicles you summon up? I thought it would be fun to make a list, see how the concept was presented over the decades, and how it might relate to reality.

You misconstrued my intent entirely. Since in a way he's doing what he's doing for us - for all of us - I wanted to put it out there that we the people want him to take care of himself. For himself, not to ensure high stock prices. And as far as being driven - there are limits to every human...

The electric pick up is the best thing I've heard. The Ford pick up truck is the single best selling vehicle in the U.S.. The market is obviously there, if the pick-up can do what an ICE one can. Apart from the use for work, driving on bad roads to get to home or forests/rivers/mountains is a...

Not only is this article slanted as negatively as humanly possible, the 'related content' atbthe bottom of their page is negative all the way down. Elon Musk defends embattled autopilot feature in part two of Tesla 'master plan'

I don't want Elon to be our Moses. I want him to make it to the promised land.

Hi all, I'm not much of a techie but I know a thing or two about sleep and lifestyle. I am very worried that Elon's lifestyle is too pressured. I worry that he's not getting enough sleep, not getting enough downtime (if any), not getting enough exercise (though I have no clue if this is true)...

I do my Tesla spotting in Lake Oswego. Usually a trip there will lead to 1-3 sightings. :)

Saw my first Tesla Taxi today. It was one of these (photo from the internet), though it had a 'hat' on and was barely recognizable.

I stumbled upon this interview from a few years back. Interview overall isn't good but this bit is fun. A tired yet relaxed Elon exhibits musical talents at 12:45

Huh. It seems nicer than the Obsidian which was my number one choice for my Model 3. :(

What shade of black is that? Obsidian?

I was sure I'd get obsidian black...but now I'm starting to wonder about the blue. I have only two years left to decide. :(

Congratulations! But aren't cars female? :-) I'm guessing this is usage from a non-English speaking country...?

My second sighting - a red Model X on I-5 near Lake Oswego. We passed a car crash, with several police vehicles on the scene, at the same time, in case you're reading. No Teslas involved in crash.

Brilliant article. He articulated very well something that many of us feel. Thank you for posting.

Thanks! I wouldn't take this consumer watchdog seriously - who talks like that? They sound like idiots. But I guess they have pushed forward their agenda in the past (good or bad, no matter). It's good that the regulatory agencies are looking at this. Speaking as a future owner w/o actual...

To be clear, I was quoting from the link. I don't know where the quote icon is here... :( I'd never heard of Consumer Watchdog before but was astounded by their tone, which is why I googled them.

"consumer watchdog isn't a consumer group at all. Consider these facts: It claims to work for the public interest, but refuses to reveal who its funders are; Rakes in millions of dollars for itself from a self-serving "intervenor fee" provision it inserted into a ballot initiative; Has been...

I would ask with genuine alarm if there's something I should be worried about. Helps being female, I suppose.

I read what info's available about the deceased driver, Joshua Brown. He sounds like a great, great guy. Sounds super competent and nice too. You don't get to be a Navy Seal and a guy who dismantles explosives by being timid. You have to be really confident. Also, he was a techie and in fact...
