ah yeah i usually do that but i'm used to cast iron which is pretty tough. this 120nm on aluminum threads makes me pretty nervous.

how much do you back off the torque wrench? i've always wanted to know that as i frequently put permatex anti seize on stuff thats likely to get corrosion.

interesting its very similar to my list jason bishop on Twitter Mazda Subaru Ford Fiat BMW Honda

depending on what pressures you run might add few pounds to the fronts. it helps with keeping the edges from from rolling over. if the 3 has camber curves at all similar to a miata it should do really well. try not to bomb the tight turns, the power will just positively hurl you to next turn...

not brave. but you forgot potential AP demo. I have aug 450's and 500's in case la -> ny demo happens. then waymo evaluation becomes a comp in addition to everything you mentioned.

ok i'll bite. i saw the ipace last weekend and its a nice piece of kit. what is the competence ratio between jaguar and magna? was it mostly magna?

I can tell you why. for same reason that tesla gives really nice loaner cars. they aren't scared of comparisons or the truth. btw: when they start making the 35k car what will you complain about next? have you already picked something or will you just make it up as you go?

ikr. gasoline powered bedrooms are not a thing. why does everybody keep doing that.

I guess i have balls too but it was just me being naive. so far (30k miles/1.5yrs) my biggest complaints are wind noise (driver side window), FWD rubbing on the body, and acceleration shudder. (oh, and wire wear). (btw, i'm suspecting acceleration shudder is very dependent on front tire...

i think its fun to follow the tech and stock market battles regardless of owning anything. audi responded to tesla today by going into production. tesla will respond in turn. lets see what happens.

forgot to mention. plexi was $38.

Sadly, my FWD window was broken by a vandal couple weeks back. I really like this car so I'm a bit sad about it. Combine that with insurance company making noises about the rental car because the parts are still on order. So I figured why not try to rig up something temp. I got some 1/8"...

i think > 100kwh is hard. my p100d is right around 6000lbs, which is max weight for some parking garages. i think they have to move to 2170's to get a capacity increase.

realllyyy.... ok, i'm going to go in my closed garage and turn on my car and sit in it for 30 minutes. you do the same and report back.

is this true? whenever we take road trips there we never see any teslas prowling around like in bay area.

is true? i hardly see any when visiting down there. but LA is bigger than bay area i suppose. i would have thought never having to sit in a hot car would be enough alone to get wide adoption...

this + thing interests me. if you take the fastest line making the 3 and make all the lines that fast do we get to 7500/wk? i know elon set expectations for next year for 10k, but i'm suspicious....

@SMAlset nice writeup. thank you for doing that

if you ask me he shut down the analysts who are pushing the narrative that tesla needs to do a capital raise - because wait for it - so that the banks these analysts work for get paid fees by tesla.

i want to see if jag heat pump has advantages over tesla resistive heating. competition is cool.

4 white X and then me. Almost as cool as driving down Niles canyon following a S with a 3 following me. Eventually i'll get S3X just a matter of time

I would not write off negative articles on click economics too fast. SpaceX is illustrative of why. SpaceX imo has largely been given a free pass on negative press, even on subjects which it is vulnerable to. LA Times wrote a hit piece that Elon has $5b of tax payer money via EV credit this...

I use flat EQ also, no dolby and I agree its the best automotive audio i've come across, especially from the front seats. Until my usb stick died I was playing from flac files with embedded cover art. kudos to tesla for supporting lossless audio codecs. I should try it again with new update...

thats not good. on my X I brought it in for a front suspension clunk on U turns. Tesla diagnosed it as front tow hook in the frunk. apparently i had forgotten about it in there and it was sliding around and making clunking noises. opps my bad. i hope it didnt' damage anything, i should go...

where are u located? i dont mind showing mine. it is a 2017 feb build.

heh, im looking forward to day when tsla price action does what I think it will and I can tweet suicide watch @ montana skeptic.

this is absolutely true. the climb to tahoe in 20 degree weather will get up to 760wh/mi for me. this is more than twice the regular draw and the estimate is very accurate. i also only use percentage on battery monitor. the RM display doesnt match what i do so its laughably wrong.

I have 20k miles on my X now and I find your situation very weird. Im in cali so not really low temps - maybe 22 degrees lowest. but i have done climbs such as tahoe and yosemite high country. i have never seen the computer change its mind like that. its always within a percent or two and i...

I'm built differently. After purchase first EV 1 year back i dont think i'll be purchasing any more ICE. I may occasionally drive ICE I already own but thats probably the extent of it.

sold in december or now? better to wait a month or two. i think 1 btc == 1 M3 is soonish. (i admit to being a bit of a bitcoin maximalist)

out of curiosity, who thinks we can get something like 1745 passed? i dont think its particularly controversial when it comes to actual implementation. how many ice will there be in 2040? as a message to auto industry i find it quite helpful.

when i first saw mention of this in jan my first thought was 2040 is a long way away. but then i warmed to it after listening to brown speaking at various climate change conferences. essentially 2040 is emerging as a united front of states/countries for a sustainable future. the date is less...

oh, yes i had same problem. i had problem where window would pop out from frame at 35mph if windy outside. i took it in and they replaced some stuff and freeway speed non-windy day is much improved. waiting to test windy day.

very close to end of owner line (at least through october 2017 as of this afternoon). keep the faith elon loves you

october 24 2017 reservation and got invite to configure just now. (owner, cali). spreadsheet is pessimistic by couple weeks for me. non-owners are coming up soon!

make that october. just got config invite.

i'm one week away from 1yr mark. 17680miles. thats higher than i anticipated especially when this was a 1yr experiment to see if an expensive car was a bad idea. i'm positive at this point from depreciation point of view 17680 miles and expensive is bad combo. but i'm also completely...

i reserved last oct. nope.

i'm bullish on btc this year. lots of work behind the scenes i thiink will eventually result in price action. but i'm not sure about reducing your eth. i sold mine back to btc after riding it up 2x but looking to get back in if opp presents. i have some alts but its going to take a strong...

maybe koch brothers is larger than life in my brain, but i worry that solar tariffs will hurt jobs but they will do it anyway. cannot admit there is any solution other than fossil. as for tesla, i'm super impressed with something i heard the other day. rocklin (cali) superchargers before...

Haven't tried, but I did buy this one AC Connectors EVSE RV/ Generator TT-30 Power to 50-Amp Electric Vehicle Adapter for Tesla https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHDRBBT?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf Works, but the right angle interferes with the little electric box at some sites. And I had to manually set 24...

i reserved oct 24 2017 and havent gotten invite yet. also bay area. lets see how many days after you until i receive. i'll guess about a month

you are quite wise. since ether has been quite flat i think alot of people lost little bit faith in it. its day in the sun is coming. its at $750 as i write this...

merry christmas ripple 62 cents on bittrex today

oooooo thats a good takedown. should be required reading for seekingalpha contributors.

oh boy. yeah tether is a ticking time bomb. a $800m time bomb i think...

i disagree with amway comment. agree with risk. sovereign gov and central banks will fight back. we are at 500b market cap now. i would expect some response before 1t. it might just be in form of cryptoruble, who knows.

your friend is genius. i had a friend say this to me too at same time. its been pretty wild since april. i just wish i had bought more initially and didnt touch it. that was right answer. who knew.

i got out of my puts today too. my tesla 3 reservation estimator thingy moved my date from late 2018 to december 2017 to feb 2018. sounds like time to go long...

Stripes are done. Yay for convenient charging
