I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination. However I have been doing a lot of reading. And one thing I red about module replacement is that the entire battery will get too much out of 'balance' after a few months of charging/discharging. So I'm curious to find out if this battery is still...

Will that stop Putin from claiming it as his own?

Don't forget that California was once Russian too - at least the northern part. Russian River - Fort Ross - Russian Gulch - Sebastopol . . .

First of all, the dying (murdering) will not stop. Just inform yourself of what is happening in the occupied regions. As Putin has stated a few times, he wants to eradicate Ukraine, make it disappear entirely. Second, to all I can gather Trump has no mind of his own, he does what Putin tells...

Picture this: The entire east coast of the United States including Texas are occupied by some foreign military power. They deport most children to some re-education camps, kill civilians at random, force everybody to speak their language and denounce anything that resembles American values...

It is my understanding that the Russians don't 'pay back'. They destroy everything they possibly can as fast as they can regardless of anything else. What Ukraine is doing to Russia has no influence on Putin's fervor to destroy them. For example if he would negotiate a peace deal with Zelenskiy...

As far as I can tell negotiating with Putin and/or Russia would be totally meaningless. Take a look at a map that shows the largest expansion of the Russian empire (1895). That is what they are working toward - now, in the past and in the future, by any means possible, but preferably through...

As we all know there is no agreements/contracts/promises/treaties . . . Putin will honor. So making any 'terms' with Russia is absolutely meaningless. Ukraine knew that it does not make a iota of a difference whether they keep their end of the bargain or not - it will not influence Russia's...

It is one thing to maneuver into a tight parking spot once in a great while. It is something entirely different driving on a very narrow road into a city with even narrower streets and impossibly narrow parking spots.

Who are you, where are you, what do you do, why are you posting here?

Unless you have al LFP battery, you now have the problem of having your battery sitting at 100% which is definitely bad for it. Find a way to discharge it to 50% as soon as possible. It degrades pretty badly if left at 100%. Even LFP batteries do not like to sit at 100% for a long time.

2daMoon said: "If the idea is to make the workplace, conditions, and salary better, then come to the table with examples of how the company isn't meeting those standards and work from there." To all I can gather from the info on this forum and other sources this is not the reason for IF Metal...

Look at what they are actually doing: Russia is obliterating Ukraine, the same way it leveled Grozny* and many other places it 'expanded' to . Is NATO obliterating Finland, Poland, Montenegro . . . ? There is definitely a big difference between the expansion of NATO and the 'expansion' of...

You might have a 'reed' effect problem. There is a possibility that some part of your fender liner - or any other movable part - is just loose enough to vibrate like a reed in an musical instrument (bassoon or oboe) to create the sound you describe. It would be wind speed dependent. Your...

If I recall correctly Herbert Diess (ex VW) mentioned that it takes Volkswagen 30 hours to make a EV but Tesla makes it in 10 hours. So, take your pick 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

Glad you asked this question. We rarely hear from those who have no problems - the silent majority. Mine is a January 2013 85 with 79,000 miles, 220 miles range. Rarely supercharged, normally charge to 75%. Got it used with 18,000 miles in 2016 @ 248 miles range. Had a big reduction in range...

See Moderator post below.

As far as I know Tesla does NOT replace modules. If a battery failed due to actual cell failure they are recycled. They repair the electronics/management component. Modules are individually matched to each other and can not be successfully interchanged.

There is one thing you and people who advocate a negotiated end to this 'war' are neglecting to acknowledge: Putin and his allies are eliminating Ukraines the same way Hitler and his henchmen were eliminating the Jews. It is not a matter of 'they will' or they are threatening to' - no they are...

For whatever it's worth:

How does that correspond to the fact that all Republicans in congress have been in lockstep with Trump when he was president?

Sorry this was not clear. The 'shame on you' is definitely for the article, not you personally - my apologies.

What an absurd article. Using the same faulty logic as is used in the article: There were 169 premature battery failures of approx. 325,000 Model S sold. That is 0.00052 failures per car. What car manufacturer can claim to have less than 0.00052 failures during the lifetime of any of their...

Does demand (or lack thereof) determine the price of a Tesla? The way I understand Elon (as far as Tesla is concerned,) his goal is to replace as many ICEs with EVs as fast as possible, i.e. replace fossil fuel burning with sustainable non lethal energy. Since Elon emigrated to the United...

It is a matter of personal tase, but this front end is really ugly! Why copy the ugliest part of a Lucid Air?

In my opinion Tesla is not maximizing profits but maximizing the number of electric vehicles being put on the road. Since they operate in a capitalist system they use the means of capitalism (profits) to achieve that goal.

For whatever it's worth: My Broker/Bank (US Bank) does not allow me to buy bonds that are not investment grade. Although I do not have any documentation for that, you just have to take my word for it.

Who wants to make a deal? Consider what is happening to the Ukranians in the Russian occupied territories. As far as I can gather they deport the children to be re-educated and given to Russian families (to be 'civilized'?). Adults who try to remain themselves (Ukrainian) are tortured and...

There is no problem if the stalls are drive-through or front drive-in. Then any car/charge port configuration can maneuver the charge port very close to the charger cabinet. No need for a longer cable or any other modification on either car or charger.

Not so fast: How about inflation? According to this CPI Inflation Calculator the price you paid in 2018 was about $86,000 in today's Dollars.

I'm suspicious that the glass roof is actually cheaper to make and install than a metal roof. The metal roof has to be welded in, painted and a headliner installed after the roof is in the car. A glass roof just needs to be glued in - 1 step for glass - about 3 much more elaborated steps for...

Looks like there is a coordinated effort by trolls/bots/Putin's minions (?) to derail this TMC thread. Let's hope they have the same success - or even less - than their army in Ukraine. Don't feed the trolls - don't feed Putin!

Some thoughts about the Roadster deliveries this year: I don't think there will be a Roadster 'line' - they will be mostly hand built - probably with a Plaid or modified Plaid drive train (from Fremont). So, the Semi is right now being hand built in Nevada - but not forever. Once the Semi...

Amazing how one Russian bot can occupy so many knowledgeable posters here. Arguing with Putin's disruptors is by definition futile. But then that is the whole purpose of the bot.

As far as I can see tweets amplifying Putin's agenda is pretty dangerous. After all it got us 4 years of Trump presidency and about 1/3 of the American people totally removed from reality (Big Lie, QAnon etc.) It also got us Brexit and most likely the fascist presidency in Italy, almost in...

Well, to the best of my knowledge “coup de grâce” is French - not English. 🤷‍♂️

Looks to me like eleison is a bot; AI generated debating points.

I'm right and you are wrong . . . no you are right and I'm wrong . . . no I am wrong and you are wrong . . . nope I am right and you are right . . . prove it . . . no disprove it . . . no I can prove it . . . no you can't prove it . . . no I can't prove it . . . your data is wrong . . . no...

The results are in: Wearing masks, getting vaccinated, social distancing is (at present just like in the last years) saving millions of lives worldwide.

Paraphrasing: "If you repeat a lie often and loud enough people will believe it." Could this apply to the truth/facts as well?

Well, Caterpillar is by no means the first one. Switzerland's electric mining dump truck charges itself - Autoblog And there is no problem charging this particular 600kwh mining truck.

And it got put back together by Putin; and now we see the results of that.

You might be on to something. On the next Covid lockdown Tesla can be self sustaining not only in car parts but also in supplying their work force with food produced right on the premises.

What I do not see discussed here is Putin's use of Twitter* to install his puppet Trump as the "Leader of The Free World". How is Elon going to prevent similar (ab)uses of the most popular platform? - - Free speech? less bots? subscription? censorship??? *This is my opinion based on my...

This will be interesting when Elon lets Putin back on Twitter. Brief explanation: To me it is clear that Trump is steered/manipulated/coached by Putin and his army of thousands of psychologists, professional manipulators, political and demographic analysts etc. Putin has been very successful in...

If Musk had used Twitter in the same manner as Trump (Putin) did, we would have much fewer ICE cars on the roads and a very much diminished fossil fuel industry. So perhaps Twitter is (or could be) very much involved in Tesla's mission and success - and the Stock Price 🤷‍♀️. Perhaps this is...

Hmmm . . . sending at least 15,000 soldiers to their death in less than a month is not suicidal? Well, perhaps the individuals are not suicidal, but the ones in power seem to have no qualms having their subordinates eliminated by the thousands (millions?). And they think they are safe in their...

Agree with the basic premise that blocking somebody from your twitter account does not show any support of 'freedom of speech'. On the other hand many of the criticism Reich voices here are either poorly researched (if at all) or just not quite true (SEC, etc). Also in my opinion (and the...

May I point to the divestment movement against the South African apartheid regime that had a substantial influence on toppling the white regime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinvestment_from_South_Africa
