You are right and I specifically mentioned that, in this thread. I've tried agreeing with you but you and @Chaserr seem to want to fight anyone and everyone that don't have the same level of aggression and anger as you. it's tiring and I do not wish to do it.

Things like the class action suit are what I am referring to. Constantly bringing up this issue in other threads isn't helping anything.

I think are hyperventilating over this issue. Take a breath and wait for things to play out.

I've been loosely watching that thread but the post frequency is way more than I can keep up with. It's not he first time we've seen Tesla pull power after purchase. We saw similar behavior with P90DL cars back in 2017. It took a few months but Tesla eventually reversed course and opted to...

SHOTS FIRED!

I say it's your claim as you are currently asserting it on this thread. I don't disagree with you; I wanted to gain some context around Ludicrous owners losing power. If my 100kWh battery were capped at 80%, I would still have access to my full 575kW. My old P90D would have lost roughly 50kW...

That's just a link to a thread with over 5000 posts. I was really hoping you would link to the post which outlines your claim.

I doubt you'll notice. Any measurable difference would be lost in the variables outside of your control at the track. your times will likely vary by around 0.1 seconds regardless of what you do. Props for going to the track! Many people like to talk but not many actually go.

The problem with the Raven is the rear motor is still prone to overheating and the cooling system is not significantly different from my 2018 P100D. I can overheat that system in two consecutive 1/4 mile passes. This is simply not going to cut it over a 20km course running flat out. the Model...

LOL, ok. I'm not saying you are wrong but you posted about a bet and BOTH bettors stated that you are misrepresenting the bet entirely.

Tesla did EXACTLY what I said they were going to do.

Indeed. Props to Tesla for putting up something that is very impressive.

I think you are getting caught up in marketing speak. Maybe take a moment and breathe?

Are they? It seems to me that they are underscoring the conditions and results of their endurance testing. I'm not seeing where they are claiming a distance record... Taycan prototype convinces at endurance run in Nardò

This test in no way reflects real world possibilities, nor was it meant to. The Taycan test at Nardo was for endurance purposes. It proves the Porsche powertrain and battery can handle constant high output and charging.

I have questions around the battery system being able to produce enough power for the 3 motor setup. Will Tesla repeat the 691HP debacle?

I totally agree with you. It's not possible to prove or disprove a configuration in this situation as the public will never get access to these press cars. If The Model S gets a time better than 7:42 AND Elon tweets don't mention hardware modifications, I would concede the bet. I highly doubt...

If it was confirmed that the Taycan swapped brakes and pads for their Nurburgring time I would accept this as fair. I do not believe Porsche did so. As far as I can tell, the Taycan ran their 7:42 in production trim. For the purposes of this wager, Tesla needs to do the same. Yes, I know...

Lol, lucky for you, the supercharger network extends all the way from Miami to Austin.

I made the trip from Seattle to Washington DC last October in my P100D. The drive was delightfully uneventful.

I'll wager. I'll bet the current Model S will not beat the Taycan lap time in production trim. That is to say, no changes to hardware allowed, except tires. Software modifications OK.

Lol, don't try to play the victim here. You own your comment's and i'll own mine.

I look forward to more of your mental gymnastics next week.

I'll make a bold prediction of my own. Model S time will disappoint and many will perform mental gymnastics on how the results were not comparable or fair.

Bold prediction, but ultimately will not age well. Model S will certainly not beat the Taycan time of 7:42. I would be surprised if it we see better than 8:30, especially if they do not have reserved time.

I don't see how one could put the Roadster 2.0 in the same class Taycan. For one, they aren't the same type of car. Additionally, we have only paper specs and promises from Tesla to compare with pre-production examples from Porsche. Neither are reality.

I believe this applies only in the situation where the component is purchased separately. The above text specifically calls out that the warranty begins from purchase date of the part.

I suspect a judge would not look kindly on the appointment cancellation strategy. That said, you would have to get in front of a judge and that will almost certainly cost more than outright paying for a new screen.

@wk057 would this upgrade provide additional range?

Your OP is missing a lot of context that readers have to fill in on their own. It would have been better if you had written up your entire thought rather than simply posting a link and a picture. Moving to the topic at hand; the MotorTrend article is pretty clear that they were only looking...

Lots of bruised egos here. Remember that it was a primary goal to transform the auto industry from ICE to BEV. Don't get all pissy when it starts to actually happen. Porsche is doing exactly what they need to do in order to drive innovation. We should be championing these vehicles, not...

I do not understand what your comment is about. Are you trying to make the same argument I am? I feel like you are arguing for the sake of argument.

Within the context of my post, this is not true. There are not many people pushing the envelope of what a Tesla might be capable of at the drag strip. On Youtube, the vast majority of tesla drag racing is TeslaRacingChannel with a little but of dragtimes sprinkled in. All TRC has done is...

You guys are making assumptions that Tesla thinks this is also a big deal. I would argue that they think quite the opposite.

Maybe...? I don't think there is concrete proof either way. Regardless, this isn't a problem Elon is likely to address directly as it is not visible enough, nor is it 'interesting'. If we really want Elon to address the problem, we need media attention. We should perhaps start with getting...

Maybe, maybe not. The man must receive literally thousands of directed tweets a day. I have to think it's the digital equivalent of standing on a busy street corner and trying to pay attention to every conversation you hear.

As much as I want to believe Musk knows everything that is happening, I tend to doubt this is the case. Does he know that there is an engineering problem? I'd bet good money on it. Is he aware that the warranty department is attempting to deny coverage for this defect, probably not. I'd bet...

You are responding to an argument I didn't make.

I would have accepted this if I felt I could trust Tesla at this point. Before all this bullshit started, i would not have cared what they wanted to classify the fix because I knew they had my back. NOW, I care. The fact that they continue to state that they will not cover this under warranty...

Thanks! I spent some time thinking about it and had to dig deep to get a bit more into what it meant to own both cars. I've spent considerable time with the Model S as well as the 911. I say that you would have a fantastic experience with the S as your daily driver and the 911 as the weekend...

There is nothing that beats the driving experience of a 911. That connectedness to the road, that secure planted feeling, that raw drivers experience. It is truly a race car that has been adapted to exist in the real world. Everything from the seating position, the gauge layout, the roar of...

Maybe it's a freak coincidence, but I recently discovered that I had thrown wheel weights off two different wheels at roughly the same time. I had been driving around on 21" arachnids, mounted and balanced by my local service center for about 5,000 miles when I began to notice a shimmy while...

I'd question the legality of this. While it is a clear benefit to you, isn't it very illegal to perform undocumented work on a customer vehicle?

The best part about his is you didn't pay taxes on that feature...

I believe what AlMason is saying is that there appears to be a mismatch between the outlet and the breaker. this could be a hazard and should be inspected.

I could be wrong on this but doesn't the 5-15 adapter for the mobile charger limit draw to 12 amps?

If this was actually true, why go through the pain of refusing warranty. Not a delay, but outright refusal to admit the concern is warranty covered? Tesla deserves all the pain they get here, and it needs to hit their bottom line hard enough that they never do it again. Everyone who has a...

It's almost like Tesla should have just gone with this solution from the beginning instead of forcing customers to go to arbitration...

I'd be happy with an MCU screen that didn't have an ugly yellow border around it...

I would assume so. I have FUSC and I have received warnings at superchargers.
