    Model 3's Ride Quality

    Count me among those who are disappointed with the stiffness of the ride. Judging from all the other posts, there really is no other way except tire choice to improve the suspension without spending a whole bunch of money and risking wearing out parts. Has anyone actually switched tires on the...

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    For me this gets to the heart of it. I have 50 days left on a trial for all of the features, and so far I haven't found a single one that seems worth thousands. Autopilot feels jerky when traffic conditions are changing and, unless I'm going to sit in traffic for an hour (which I usually don't)...

    Reduced price Autopilot & FSD for existing owners announced March 1st

    Might be time to stop blaming the customer on this one. The important complaint is not who's getting screwed and who's not, it's that ALL customers, past, present and future, need CONSISTENCY and CLARITY in the pricing scheme (sorry to go with all caps, but it's necessary here). Otherwise the...

    Homelink help!

    OK, thanks for the info Android... that wasn't made clear to me by anyone at Tesla. I have the Standard Plus, which has a "Partial Premium interior"... for a while I wondered what was partial about it, now I know. Seems pretty arbitrary, the kind of features they take out of the lower packages...

    Homelink help!

    Stupid question, but... what happens if you do not see the Homelink icon on your screen to even start the programming process? It is supposed to be in the top left next to the lock/unlock icon, and I do not see it. What am I missing here? I have a Genie Intellicode opener, with a remote, so I...

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    So he gets a pass on integrity and accountability because he's such a grand promoter? I don't get the argument. JG

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    "Every chance"? You really have learned from the School of Elon (say something without saying anything). If you're not sure why I have an issue with language like "every chance," then you probably didn't read my original post. Look, despite the fact that I feel Tesla has been too slippery on...

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    No one mentioned "fraud." Integrity. JG

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    Yes, a person of integrity needs to be careful about what he Tweets, whether he's the president, the CEO or Joe Lithium. Unlike financial documents, Tweets are actually read by the public and can heavily influence the market. Corporate financials are mostly bogus and just there for compliance...

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    Seems like splitting hairs, but fine, a prediction is not a promise. In the world of business, the CEOs who make predictions must be hold accountable for them... otherwise they're not much better than snake oil salesmen. You would have to find me an article from March 2016 or earlier where Elon...

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    That's funny, I distinctly remember a promise in 2016 that Model 3 standards would be in the driveway by today. In fact, "Early 2018" was even written on my reservation screen. By any measure, those people who stood in line on March 31, 2016 were promised that they would have the car before the...

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    Dolt-son, I bought one of the first Leafs and of course got the full $7,500 credit. But the fact that you think someone who doesn't want to pay 54K-60K for a car owes less than $7,500 in total federal taxes shows that you are pretty far out of touch. JG

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    With Tesla's poor production ramp-up (and nonexistent start date for the standard model, which is what I want), it's clear to me now that the company is literally taking $7,500 out of my pocket and putting it into the pocket of someone wealthier who can afford $54K plus tax for his/her Model 3...

    Online configurator preview

    I am still puzzled about the $49K number. There appear to be two ways to pay $49 K for this long-range model. The extra $5K could come from Premium Interior or Enhanced Autopilot. OR, are they saying (and I hope the answer is no) that you have no choice if you want a First Production car but to...
