    Electricity is $5/gallon

    Do you have a gasoline line running in your house or did you forget to mention driving to the gas station then paying while you added two gallons? I haven't stopped for fuel in over a month. Every morning I wake up to a fully fueled car. Your move CritTic.

    Remove the 'Dislike' Button?

    Maybe change the "r" to a "w"? A "disagwee" sounds so much gentler. In slightly more seriousness I like the way Reddit does it of letting people add or subtract a point but I also like the way things are currently on this forum.

    Did Tesla just kill the Model S 75D?

    I have a family of four (wife and two kiddos). Many times I have taken grandpa with us on trips in our S. I have seen the backseat of a 3 - it would not work for our family. I suspect there may be other like me

    Tesla CPO Pricing

    Remember all those news articles about Tesla selling all those CPO's? Neither do I. All Wall Street is (currently) paying attention to is new car deliveries. I believe Tesla is responding to what they are rewarded most for. They don't want to risk cannibalizing new Model 3 sales with CPO sales.

    Regenerative Braking Behavior Poll

    Can somebody share the benefits of having the car coast instead of coming to a complete stop?
  6. Q

    Took Delivery of our X: Great vehicle, some frustrations. Also thinking about adding a 3 soon!

    Double check to make sure Summon is on in your settings. Not saying I personally would have ever over looked that type of thing.... that would be a lie.

    Regenerative Braking Behavior Poll

    I enjoy using one pedal driving and trying to mimic the braking behavior of the other cars. I really have to "ride" accelerator gently down to ease the deceleration.

    Auto Fold/Auto Tilt issues

    Sorry for not getting the exact wording... But service center told me the refreshed/cleared the cache or something similar. I haven't had the issue since.

    Regenerative Braking Behavior Poll

    Would you prefer it provides resistance / regeneration until the car comes to a complete stop instead of allowing the car to coast?

    Software Update 2018.10.4

    Way off topic @buttershrimp ...so how about a compilation of people rubber necking (soundtrack Sugar by Robin Shultz?)? I was sitting at the light today and three consecutive driver's where staring down my Family Joules as they went by.

    Is now a bad time to buy a MS75D

    We all felt the same way you did. Then you get it and forget all your worries. You may be in an iPhone5 but every one out your window is using flip phones.

    Software Update 2018.10.4

    Sorry if this posting is duplicate. But I didn't see it earlier. This update seems to allow me to request specific songs again. For the last several months when I verbally requested a specific song it would play similar songs- but not the exact one I requested. Now it plays the exact song...

    should i wait for the new porsche or i-pace to come out?

    I am also surprised to see so many posts so willing to switch brands. I am still in the honey moon phase and am loving my S but if in 4 years when I hit the market...I really would be bored buying another S if it still is basically the same car. This seens to be the dilemma of the OP. A...

    Long, Semi-Grouchy review

    TL;DR ...Model 3 sucks because I have to wear a seat belt to use cruise control. ....Model 3 sucks because it is not safe and I am all about safety (other than the previously mentioned seat belt thing, fried chicken and cigarettes rolling around my dashboard) Actual video starts at about a...

    Auto Fold/Auto Tilt issues

    In the past few weeks I came across the exact same issue as the OP. I turned off mirror autofold...and after I leave the car the mirrors autofold. In my case it is always both mirrors. To me this screams software bug. I contacted Tesla and they told me to take it into the service center...

    Article on EV Batteries from Autoweek: FUD or Valid Points?

    As far as the non FUD 5% of the article when 500-600 mile batteries are standard in 5+ years it will be interesting to see if we can swap out /upgrade the batteries in our "classics". Maybe by that time there will be non OEM batteries to choose from...just like laptops. Batteries used to cost...

    Need tip with snow driving

    Don't have an X...don't know if there is anything particular about it over my S or even my Olds 88 I used to drive in Cleveland. Here are my 2¢: 1). Never brake while turning. Brake before the turn, brake after the turn. If you brake during the turn in slick conditions (or in a go kart!)...

    Timeline for Referrals

    My 2¢: When you used your friend's referral code you did him a favor.... Not the other way around. You owe him nothing. Feel 0 guilt for how long it takes him to get the car. There are 10,000's who would have loved it had you used their code.

    I ordered a Blue Mini Tesla on July 20th (via the referral discount code). Still no car. I think I may be the winner here.

    Child Seats And Subzero Package

    I did go with the subzero package. Now that the occasional snowflake is in the air I am using the heated seats frequently. The seats don't only heat my bottom but my back as well. This has been great for my oldest who is in a booster seat - so he does get some benefit from the heated seats.

    Black Friday Specials on Tesla

    Elon's Musk "There can never -- and I mean never -- be a discount on a new car coming out of the factory in pristine condition," There are a ridiculous number of examples (a sizeable portion of inventory vehicles are in new and pristine condition) that represent discounts on new cars "coming...

    It works. Used a Tesla wall charger to charge the smart car today.

    So practically speaking... the ideal consumer state is a built out universal high speed charging network with plenty of destination chargers around until charging gets so fast destination chargers are obsolete. Hopefully we can all agree on that. It appears Tesla has made many overtures to...

    Saw the New Nissan Leaf 2nd Gen - Not a bad car at all...

    Fair or unfair lots of people have negative impressions when they see someone in a car they think cost $125,000 for (even if it was 70K after rebates). I could not care any less what strangers think.... but when a boss or client thinks it - it impacts my career and I do care.

    Terrible Buying Experience - Should I be as turned off as I am?

    Oh....it will cut it close - but Tesla goes crazy trying to squeak out every sale possible by the end of the quarter. In fact that is why they will offer the discount. You will get a 2017 delivery. That said although you will definitely get a better deal so they can get their end of quarter...

    Terrible Buying Experience - Should I be as turned off as I am?

    Maybe you got a blessing in disguise. If past is any indication...there should be some major discounts on inventory cars by the second or third week of December. Will save you much more than the missed $1,000 on the referral code. As far as customer service. I have heard a lot on both...

    It works. Used a Tesla wall charger to charge the smart car today.

    How did you come to that conclusion -did you ask them? I know Tesla has sometimes offered businesses destination charges for free...perhaps that's why they decided to install Tesla chargers? Maybe had the other manufacturers made similar offers to businesses they would have happily installed...

    Help getting off the fence

    @Joshuak172. You post a lots of the same concerns I had. As for autopilot, as others posted I cannot see how it will be anything but better than what you experienced. People are comparing it to what Elon promised and complaining. Fair argument but it is not like they have a secret super...

    Which model year are the current line of Model3 cars?

    Why doesn't Tesla sell an option that fills the "frunk" with a battery for more range

    So my tought was put a new battery connector up there. If you run out of juice tow brings an extra battery with about 50 miles that you drop in the frunk and pay $75/day to rent the pack instead of paying for the tow. Not sure how many people run out of juice... If it works really be a viable...

    Tesla says 7-13 miles range loss per day is normal

    Tesla says 7-13 miles range loss per day is normal

    My sales rep let me know the biggest drain on the battery is temperature. The battery will self heat and self cool to maintain 72F. The further from that temperature the higher the vampire drain. This is to improve performance and limit degradation. I wonder how that function compares with...

    Tesla Referral Program
