    Major traffic incident on the way to work! (dashcam included)

    Had a major slowdown on the way to work today. (At least a major slowdown relative to my usual commute.) I only wish I had paid better attention to how the obstructions showed up on the autopilot display.

    Market reaction to Model Y unveil

    TSLA stock has gone down after the unveiling of the Model Y. The little bit of commentary I've looked at speculates that investors were "underwhelmed" by the unveiling. I agree that the presentation itself lacked showmanship and focus on the Model Y (only a brief drive it out at the end and a...

    I bit the bullet and installed 14-50

    I have a pretty short commute (14 miles roundtrip) and used the 110 V outlet in the attached garage for the first 5 months of ownership. To be honest it is just fine 97 % of the time. But occasionally I drive to a nearby city about 240 miles round trip. I found that if I drive more than usual...

    I don't care!

    Remember before the Model 3 started shipping when people on twitter were asking Elon Musk if there was going to be a center display and he responded by saying no and "You won't care?" Elon Musk on Twitter After owning the Model 3 for a couple of months and getting used to driving it, the...

    Tesla owners have driven 1 billion miles with Autopilot activated Looking at the numbers in the article, 10% of miles driven to date have been on autopilot (including miles from cars delivered prior to autopilot and cars without autopilot enabled).

    Frunk reactions

    I picked up some pizzas last night and decided to put them in the frunk. (They fit great there and don't slide around much.) As I was putting them in the guy getting out of a pick up says, "That's a funny looking engine you've got." What else could I say except, "Yes, and it runs on pizza!"

    Should I test Supercharging before a trip?

    I have had my Model 3 a couple of weeks now. Charges great at home. I have not supercharged with it yet. I am going on a trip in about a week that may or may not require a short supercharging stop to make the complete trip. Should I take the time to test supercharging in my car locally...

    Will Tesla "unlock" AWD to P for hurricanes?

    Since it sounds like most or all AWD model 3's can be software unlocked to P performance, do you think Tesla will or should unlock the AWD cars to P so people can get away from hurricanes faster? After all, they unlock battery capacity and give free supercharging.

    Avoiding end of year hell

    It would be hard to argue that the end of the 3rd quarter was hard on Tesla’s employees and customers. I can imagine things could be even worse in December. On top of the usual end of quarter rush, Tesla will be faced with the holiday season and the possibility of more weather related...

    California Home Delivery??

    I read on the 6/27 invite thread that several people in California placing orders were only being offered home delivery despite being near a delivery center. Perhaps Tesla is seeing delivery centers as the next bottleneck in production. Doing more home deliveries would speed up the process...

    Not a Tesla semi rear ends Stopped truck

    You know that once more Tesla semis are on the road every accident will be national news, so why not start a thread early with reports of not a Tesla semi accidents. (which don't make national news) Drivers in 6-vehicle crash on 1-84 identified

    Tesla service 2019

    Right now there is not any Tesla service centers anywhere near where I live. That might change when Model 3 deliveries start, but here is what I hope the future Tesla service experience is like. I set up a service time. Tesla sends an autonomously driven loner vehicle to my house. Loaner...
