"This port isn't even... on the door that the speaker is mounted to (the inner door skin)." The port is definitely in the door. When you pry off the speaker cover, there's a big hole off to the side of the speaker. That's it. It's part of the door. "Did anyone do back to back testing (unplug...

Good point; a far more accurate headline would have been "More than 70% of Tesla’s biggest fans haven't bought a Model 3 yet". But there's another massive flaw with the analyst's conclusion: “If correct, this take rate would be substantially worse than predicted by our July 2017 survey, which...

The two are not mutually exclusive. There's no reason both cannot be offered as options. Different pricing structures appeal to different people and is often an excellent way to maximize revenue. As for Electroman's specific idea, obviously the $.50/mile figure was just made up on the spot and...

"The pricing for EAP & FSD should follow the typical technology curve. They will be more expensive initially when shipping in low volume, and go down in price over time, as the technology matures and volumes increase." Except the hardware is already being included in all Tesla vehicles, which...

Not necessarily. The existing up-front costs could remain exactly the same (or even reduced), and a simple per-month pay-as-you-go option in the $100-150/month range could be added. That would be the most obvious scenario, and would not make things "more expensive" for people who buy EAP...

"What material did you use to stuff around the speaker? The material has to be something which dampens any resonation to door card." I used this, cut it into about 3-inch wide rectangles, and stuffed them around the speaker and filled in most of the gaps. Basically I found that it did exactly...

Yes, I agree with that. However it's also simply not accurate to say that would categorically disqualify such a feature from being "life-saving" or "potentially life-saving".

Except it's not as if the moment the temperature reaches 105 degrees all humans and animals inside experience instant death. Simply because a feature may not be 100% effective in preventing death doesn't mean it's "not a lifesaving feature". It still improves the odds of survival if it keeps the...

In the case of many new software features I would probably agree. But this is a bit different in that it's a potentially life-saving feature, even if the likelihood of it coming into play is (compared to most features) very low. I think it makes sense to have it on by default and have a lot of...

So I performed "part 2" on one of my front door speakers by filling in the gaps around the speaker with acoustic rubber/foam. However, as opposed to filling in the bass ports (which made for a SIGNIFICANT improvement), I actually found that it sounded worse after filling the area around the...

Wow, huge thanks for discovering and sharing this. I can personally verify that just by stuffing the bass ports (I used some extra packaging foam I had lying around) it made a very noticeable improvement. Also while the rear door speakers did have some noise absorbing material already in there...

"I know this is isn’t a solution but a stopgap might be a Bluetooth transmitter receiver. It might be possible to plug the phones headphone jack into it and pair it to the car. I know that Tesla may not permit the pairing to occur so I wouldn’t suggest anyone buying one but if anyone has one it...

The problem with this reasoning is twofold: 1) Almost no specific Tesla feature--in isolation--would ever make or break a potential customer's purchasing decision. So to suggest that whether or not a particular feature/upgrade/fix/enhancement should be implemented depends on whether someone...

I'd like the ability to delete songs from the USB drive directly through the interface.

Would love to have different equalizer presets for different audio sources, or ideally for different streaming stations. Basically, some way to have different equalizer settings automatically for "talk" broadcasts (news, podcasts) and music. As it is, I have to change the settings manually when...

Lol. As of today they’ve changed the title. Still ridiculously sensationalistic, of course. Did Tesla Just Join the List of the Worst Automotive Industry Mishaps of all Time?

The body of the article actually affirms the premise of the title, i.e. that this proactive recall (involving a third party part which has had a total reported failure rate of ZERO thus far) is one of the "worst auto blunders of all time": "Is it as bad a [sic] the exploding pinto [sic], no...

Thanks, found it (assuming you're referring to this thread): Articles re Tesla—Fact or Fiction?

BTW this isn't the first time TheStreet.com has pulled something like this. From two months ago: Musk Pens Email to Employees, Stresses Importance of Work Environment Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said employees need to 'look forward' to coming to work each day. Then the actual quote: "It is...

I won't do them the favor of linking to the article, but here's today's headline from TheStreet.com (one of the more prominent investing-related news sites out there) regarding today's Tesla recall: "Tesla's Model S Recall and 12 More of the Worst Auto Blunders of All Time" That's right...

It's been back to normal since the reboot, but if it happens again I definitely will.

Hmm, yep that probably explains it. Don't remember but I think all of the prices were in the $200-400 range.

Yesterday while using the on-board navigation, my Tesla suddenly started reading out "prices" (in dollars and cents) instead of distances. It would go something like this: "In four-hundred thirty-two dollars and nineteen cents, turn right onto Heights Boulevard"... It did this for every turn...

In my case it did make a difference, though not by a huge amount. My 60 was automatically showing up as a 75 to my insurance company (GEICO) so I contacted them and had them correct it. The total premium then went down, I think by around $70 per year.
