    Poor communication and customer service for delivery

    I own a Model S 75D and I was going to pick up my Model 3 LRD tomorrow. To say that my experience has been bad would be an understatement. My delivery specialist is on vacation right now, which I understand, but there's no one backing her up. I still don't have an estimate on a trade-in or the...

    Let's discuss Dual Motor range

    Why different results for the LRD 18" vs the P with 18"? Without the performance upgrade package, isn't it the exact same vehicle except for binned motors/inverters and software?

    Red or White Model 3?

    Red. Absolutely red. I own a white Model S (the base white which is no longer sold, not the pearl white). I love the way my Model S looks, much more so than the pearl white that seems to be more common. The pearl white seems to be more a cream color. I went and looked at a red Model 3 over the...

    Long range 3 has 48A charger!

    More speculation about the charger... The Model S/X have a modular charger design that features 24A modules. This enables 3-phase charging in Europe (3x 24A modules), and in the US it supports 48A charging (2x 24A modules in parallel) or with an upgrade (now standard) it supports 72A charging...

    Model 3 entry via ... keycard & app. No fob.

    In all likelihood, the Model 3 isn't using Bluetooth it's using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). On both Android and iOS, BLE scanning uses negligible power, and it's on by default on both for location (iBeacon or Eddystone). I think it's safe to assume that you won't need to get your phone out to...

    [Speculation] Model 3 0.237 kwh/mile!

    Keep in mind that the charge rate figures need to include the energy lost in charging the battery, which could easily be 10%. I believe the EPA numbers also include the charging inefficicy. 259Wh/mi for the Model 3, including charging inefficicy, would put the Model 3 between the Hyundai Ioniq...

    Tesla drops solid white as a color choice - speculation as to why?

    I have solid white. I agonized about pearl white vs solid white and I was never able to see the solid white in person before I ordered. A few days ago I saw both side-by-side. I am so glad I got the solid white. The pearl is nice but to me the brightness of the solid white stands out. I...

    AP2.0 video

    Calling it "Titan" seems a bit silly to me. Titan is just a brand name that NVIDIA applies to a variety of GPUs, including GK110 (Titan/Titan Black), a dual GK110 card (Titan Z), a GM200 card (Titan X), and now a GP102 (Titan X Pascal) card. Drive PX 2 has two "Parker" GPU/CPU SOCs, plus...

    AP1 owners take heart

    I took delivery about 2 months ago on a 60D. I paid $2500 for AP 1.0. Regarding Enhanced Autopilot: At the end of the day I am not sure I would pay another $2500 to make AP a bit better. To be blunt, Autopilot is nowhere near a self-driving system and anyone who thinks so hasn't used it. There...

    [Poll] - are you mad that your new Tesla just missed Autopilot 2.0?

    I don't feel too bad. I have a Model 3 on reservation and took delivery of my Model S 60D about a month ago. To be honest "Enhanced Autopilot" doesn't sound a whole ton better than what I have right now. For $2500 more than I paid for Autopilot 1.0, I am not sure I would pay for the improvements.
