It is cat & mouse; absolutely - the difference is Tesla can do what almost no other OEM can - rapid updates to fix security holes. There is a fool-proof way to allow people to disable their cars (you could also just set the speed limiter, already implemented, to zero) if they so choose. There is...

Jesus - that's sobering. Time to glue the connectors in and some other stuff. It took longer to hotwire Metros in the 90s :(

Problem is that there are a ton of cars with MCU2 that have either been upgraded from MCU1, or were of the year where MCU2 started being rolled out - and so thieves won't know until they've smashed the window. If Tesla won't/can't fix this directly, then fine - but give ALL owners more security...

Not sure if this made it here already, but there's a new planning application in for Sheffield Meadowhall Retail Park (NOT the big shopping centre - but 2 mins from it) next to IKEA and Pizza Hut etc. Looks like 18 bays. Will be very handy and, one would assume, spell the end of Tankersley.

How sure are we that this latest issue is MCU1 only? Also, the owners club really need to kick Tesla to fix this - I've long asked for a time-based immobiliser, so you can say, 10pm to 6am or whatever, the car is utterly undrivable. Won't respond to keys, won't do anything.

I met Rod, MD of WB, earlier this year and he confirmed that it was going ahead. As pointed out, planning permission has long been granted (July *last* year!) so they need to get a move on - unless it has been shelved in favour of Ferrybridge or something. In any case, we are seeing Woodall SB...

Another bump with an eBay link, my wife has been nagging me so they need to go. Happy to discuss price and delivery/collection on here but the eBay link has it all. Tesla Model S Arachnid 21" alloy wheels and tyres (new) | eBay Cheers (and sorry for the bump)

Bumping this thread - wheels still available. Price negotiable as they need to go (she who must be obeyed has decreed....)

Wouldn't be a good start for the Tesla-China relationship with GF3. My guess is the Chinese govt will make some exceptions, and you can bet the Tesla China team are already talking to the necessary people in the Communist party. Either way, this trade war is going to get ugly and Trump will lose.

Here in the UK, I got a trade-in valuation from Tesla for my late 2016 facelift S75 with AP1 with 50k miles - cost new £65,000, Tesla offer was £26,500. Selling privately I could get roughly £40,000 for it. So it is clear Tesla don't want the cars back...

We know for a fact that around 4500 orders have been placed so far, possibly more. That is from a reliable Tesla source.

I am on my 3rd MCU (MCU 1, July 2016 car..) and the last one was replaced due to the yellow banding issue which was pretty terrible. Tesla have agreed to replace my screen when the new unit is available - hopefully this year. Good news as my car is about to run out of warranty... I would be...

100%. I use Twitter all the time, but the amount of problems it has created and/or perpetuated is absurd. Leave alone Trump's use of it, and just look at the fake accounts issue. Someone/something has been scraping academic websites for names of Phd holders and professors, creating accounts in...

Hi, sorry for slow reply - yes they are indeed !

Would appreciate the electronic Owners Manual actually working. Latest firmware has broken it entirely - not that I read it, but you know, it is something that should just work...

Hi Sorry for slow reply - they have Michelin Pilot Super Sports on, and yes all 4 will fit in the car, but you just need to fold the back seats down. They're wrapped in plastic, but in any case, but they are brand new so no dirt anywhere!

Hi All, Got a set of 21" Arachnids with tyres for sale - never used - £4k ONO. Collection from South Oxfordshire or sunny South Yorkshire, or can meet at a Supercharger somewhere maybe! Cheers Ed

Agree, there is no chance. I think it will spike to 340 and settle at 320 ish - if we get even $1 profit announced on the earnings call tonight.

I find it amusing that the shorts are all turning on Citron, some in a very unpleasant way. Maybe he'll see what these people are really like and reconsider his positions in future.

Jesus H Youknowwho. A positive Seeking B*llsh*t article. Tesla Sales Soaring, Competition Failing - Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) | Seeking Alpha Wonders never cease.

Any Democrat gain is a good thing from an environmental perspective and that plays well for TSLA. If the brakes can be put on any attempt to remove federal tax credits for EVs you have to say that's a positive. Those of us over the other side of the pond are watching and praying that Dems can...

My W-8BEN cleared - got me some TSLA ! #GoLongOrGoHome

I also left my car for 5 weeks mid Dec-mid Jan. Charged to 80% and when I came back, I had lost 100 miles. I didn't switch off always connected though, which was a bit silly. In any case it wasn't an issue.

Hi All, Met the guy who works for (or possibly owns, judging by the car he was in..) the firm who maintains the charging points at Meadowhall shopping center in Sheffield yesterday. Had a good chat with him and he said that they have plans to add 50x type 2 chargers to the Green car park, but...

Yeah I've done this 100 times - a week is fine. Charged mine to 80%, drove from Oxford to Gatwick, left it 7 days in late Jan (when it was very cold last year) and lost about 4 miles a day. As other said, switch off the always connected thing to save juice.

Had my GoLuk front & rear fitted by Shield IT (recommended by UK owners club) and have to say they are fantastic, despite the app being a bit Chinglish. Quality is top notch, 1920x1080 front and a bit less rear. I think it was £350 fully fitted at my office.

Funnily enough I was behind a Scooby-Doo (UK speak for Subaru) yesterday and I thought, now there's a car maker you hear little of, and who will probably really struggle with the EV transition. They only have 2 factories (Japan and the US) and churn out 1m cars a year.

Waiting for my broker to sort my W-8BEN form so I can pick up some stock. Great to know the IRS now has my details :(

Thanks; appreciated. The website listing all the cases he's trying to get CA's on doesn't list Tesla, and an educated guess at the URL for info on the suit (following the same pattern as other cases) yields nothing, ergo, he's out of time. Law Offices of Howard G. Smith

I wonder if Tesla (or Elon) just said, one day we are going to advertise - not today, not this year, but one day - and when we do, we will remember who printed all that FUD and lies about Tesla. Those that did will get $0 advertising dollars from Tesla, but those who print fair and balanced...

This pinged up again, Howard G Smith ambulance chaser stuff: The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) Can anyone confirm if (and I'm in the UK so potentially different meaning) they don't have a lead...

I took part in a piece about Tesla, what it is like to own one, experience of living with an EV etc for a major international financial publication. Tesla gave a car to the journalist for a week, and whilst he didn't give much away during my interview, you could tell he was impressed. They've...

Would also point out that all markets are trading lower, everything's in the red today on all sides of the pond, thanks to rising interest rates and a pull back in equity markets, China trade bun fights and stuff. All in all, it's a bit of a bad day.

Let's hope those Q3 results are as good as we hope them to be. The way its going we'll see a 52wk low soon. Problem is obviously, with the stock reducing, the shorts and FUDsters have a field day with the news and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ha :) I'll tell them. I thought some points very salient, actually.

Gerber especially needs to go see Elon and just chat over a coffee. Whatever happens, Tesla needs that COO now more than ever, and lift some pressure off Elon's shoulders. Even Elon's mother is saying that she's fed up of the FUD spreading so it is clearly taking its toll on the family as a whole.

Copied from another forum I am on - Speak EV - apols. to authors if also on this forum; I thought they merited discussion here: "One theory I've heard for the tweets is it's what Elon wants now he sees he's backed into a corner: i.e.: "Death by bureaucrat." Certainly IF the financials are in...

Holy smokes, that's a big chunk of that segment swallowed by Tesla. The Germans won't be happy.

Yeah, what I meant was, other than a cursory "hello" I hope he stays off the call. He can use twitter to explain what's happening. The earnings call needs to be as boring as possible, and let Deepak deal with it. Otherwise you know what all the questions will be; just leading him into...

Reports of 6.5 Billion in revenue in Q3...

Would be good to get an update on reservations. Q3 call will be fascinating, and hopefully extremely boring since Elon won't be there. I hope he's on the factory floor during the earning call.

Assuming individuals have had their fill, it's trading around $310. Guess we need to wait for production data to see a bump, probably be a $10 to $15 event though who knows.

Roll on production figures later on today...

IMPORTANT SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Labaton Sucharow, Counsel to Citron’s Andrew Left, Announces SEC Tesla Update Can see pre market tailing a bit, but let's see how it unfolds. I think I missed the boat on this too...

Could be a minimal shareholding. No big issue, Elon and Kimble can take a bit of a haircut.

Will they get burned? Aren't the media just going to double down on the FUD come opening on Monday? I can see the headlines now... But - looks like M3 deliveries are through the roof. I heard of 300 deliveries in Toronto today alone. That's INSANE.

Quick update that Woodall NB has planning permission granted, so hopefully they'll crack on. Interesting that the council put a condition on which requires a footpath to be constructed prior to the site going live, to stop people walking down the lorry route. Also this might be the only...

There's a large trench been dug on the NB side, possibly something or nothing to do with the SCs. I use this supercharger every week so I'll keep an eye on it. Still waiting for planning consent, so nothing of substance can start until that's decided.

Hi All, 32, yes, THIRTY TWO chargers to be installed at Woodall M1 northbound! Planning application should be approved imminently. In fact, they do appear to be doing a lot of groundworks there which looked remarkably like laying of cables in a trench, as I spotted yesterday. Amazing! Check...

Just joined Direct Line via the Tesla link and my premium is £400 less than I paid last year with NFU. Excess is slightly higher but not much.
