I think this was an error in that video. All others are saying staggered (widths) 20’s all around

Ludicrous speed software unlock to be announced. The writing is on the wall with the pricing to take advantage of the tax credit, the badging that has no meaning otherwise, the fact this was an option previously on the 3/Y and how it played out on the Ludicrous S.

Some serious discussion here. Pretty simple: If you've driven a Plaid S, the pull is absolutely bonkers from almost any speed, seriously feels the same from 0 as it does from 50... I think we can all agree we want that kind of consistent power band in the new 3. I think there a disconnect...

Am I reading too much into the Jay Leno 24 Model 3 special about the suspension? Start at 22:09 They discussed the suspension/dapening/shocks then Lars specifically called out the single and dual motor cars. Maybe it is possible the performance car is getting something similar to what’s in the S/X?

Another thing to consider is Elon has stated several times that he believes a recession is near/2023. Not a bad time to sell some shares. Unlike uncle Bill, I don't think Elon gives a about shorting the market or even money in general but this may be a good time to free up some money if he...

Many of these vehicles go to things like training first responders. How can I be so sure?

All this talk of not knowing where this will go, $2000-3000 etc. The thing that is different this go around is the current valuation. This company has literally changed my life and I‘m a hyper bull not doubt. With that being said what we’ve witnessed here going from 800B to a 1T company in...

Not a bad idea but likely not needed as Teslas just don’t have a problem with randomly catching on fire.

Wow, this is just the video I needed to watch to get just incredibly pumped for tomorrow... A great reminder of this journey! Hats off to the creator!

Yes as a Firefighter who has actually taken Tesla sponsored extrication classes, teaches them and who has actually cut on Tesla’s with late model Edraulic tools including on the Model X with high strength Boron steel in the B pillars, it comes down to a lack of training scenario for this...

I’m just not buying it. The S is beyond due for a refresh, the shutdown, calling to remove/sell all inventory, skate boards etc. Dropping S price to compete with Lucid, the other fresh EV’s (not competitive) hitting the market etc.... I really have a hard time thinking Tesla would miss this...

I don’t see the checkbox. I’ve wondered about this, is there a discounted price? Seems like a lot less labor (lack of tear off) for a new build.

As much as I hoped for a refresh my feeling is someone would have seen something by now (if you’ve driven by the Fremont Factory you know what I’m talking about). There’s no reason to hide vehicles when they could just as easily announce a refresh. Q4 is over, what’s the risk in announcing...

I have a used (perfect) one in Vancouver, Wa $250 local sale only

Boosted Board - Longboard Surron Black edition - Bike/Motorcycle Lift 5’0” - Efoil All powered by the sun! Love them all but the Efoil is my newest fav! What else is out there that I need?

Over 200kwh per engineering explained YouTuber who spoke with GM engineering.

You’re talking about a computer that can maybe at Max use say 2000W vs a car that can use 500,000 watts during a heavy acceleration. Simple answer no, however AP and FSD definitely use the brakes more than they do effectively use regen, this would be where any losses come from.

RoboTaxi charging solution simple... Tesla knows who’s at the superchargers at all times. As the RoboTaxi arrives you send a message on the MCU and App to everyone already there asking for a plug in, you do the same for an unplug. In return you offer whomever accepts and does it within a minute...

In the last two days I convinced my in-laws and a Co-worker to upgrade to AP and I did my part to add FSD to my car. $7k to Tesla, you’re all welcome! Seriously though there is a lot of us taking advantage of this “discounted” opportunity and I think it’s going to make a seriously surprising...

LOL, like a few months ago?

Any chance we can get the $1900 price again, looking for the 19's? I see there's currently a group buy going on the S/X.

My 2 cents 1) Start at 1:15, what Barbara says makes a lot of sense to me. With the right controls in place construction or a factory can contain this. I’m a Firefighter, we are the ones responding to these COVID patients, we live in close quarters for 24 hours at a time, eat together and...

Well Sir I took your advice on the 690 calls back in September and all I have to say is thank you... I would listen to whatever this man says! Thanks again @Green Pete

There’s a lot on the line when it comes to dog mode. Maybe Tesla should send notifications to your phone every 5 minutes with with the time since activation and current interior temperature.

Ok, I’m obviously biased as a two Tesla household but I have owned many Subaru’s in the NW, I’m a technician by trade and I own an automotive pre-purchase inspection service local to Portland. We inspect them all of the time, yes they are good cars, are the newer ones are more reliable, sure...

Not the way I remember it happening, I was on my computer with my mouse hovering to sell about $80k in weekly options that very quickly turned to $40k. I had a limit order in, when the price dropped from 968 to 962 I went to change it to market and it just fell. I have no doubt this was manipulated.

Except I can’t remember a Friday where the stock wasn’t capped at an exact preplanned value like 800.03 last week. I’m hoping for 900 tomorrow so we can sail into 1k next week.

So my 5000 mile referral from June 2019 went away around the beginning of the year (6 months). Today I checked my loot box and slit again shows 2700 miles remaining. Anyone else?

Just get what works best for you. Two different cars, I have both, the S is my company car because of the hatchback/space. I am an Automotive Technician who visits used car private party sellers and dealers to perform onsite prepurchase inspections. I pull up in my S and perform the inspection...

Yes, insane to think they would sell even 1 for that price. You could buy a tri motor CT have more power, play longer and likely even be more durable for $10k less!

Correct, from what I can figure: Pump Power Requirements - Fire Apparatus “For example, a 1,500-gpm pump at its best requires 186 hp.” 1KW = 1.341HP 186hp = 138.7 kilowatts Here lies the problem in reality the pump needs to run no more than an hour for most fires. What about that rare 4-8+...

My thoughts exactly! And even more shocking when you think about how policies related make it through with such clueless and OBVIOUSLY biased people at the table. CNG vehicles are the future, really?

OMG WOW... “Tesla is done”, “All the manufacturers have caught up”, “Natural gas vehicles are the future”, “Everyone likes gasoline engines, big engines” This is disgusting, these people are absolutely clueless and there’s definitely no industry bias here... Completely agree, everyone must...

Unfortunately yes, mostly due to the current futures, and let’s not forget Shorty is expecting all of us to go in strong so they may try to make a statement right off the bat. I’m hoping for this - BTFD

I’m one of these people. This week I took some of my profits, turned my MR into the P3D I really wanted to buy last year. The previous owner of the P3D bought an inventory X and my MR was sold to my coworker who was going to buy a $20k used Bolt. He is not a car guy by any means, just smart...

Going to bump your post. I have the same deal jn Portland, Oregon if anyone is interested.

You need to refer to the maintenance manual that came with the car and follow that. The only thing likely needed at 45k would have been the tire balance and possibly an alignment. You were taken for the rest. This is the typical dealer model and why dealers don’t like to sell electric vehicles...

Yup, works very occasionally and I did the restart thing on both of our cars

All these comments for these articles are killing me... I work as a firefighter and get the same pushback from my coworkers UNTIL they actually drive one of my cars, and then they get it. The ignorance and spreading of misinformation is embarrassing. The parking lots at our stations are 80% big...

I still feel like we're being punked here... No way the 3rd most valuable automotive company would allow Rivian and Ford to beat them to market with a great truck. And the glass breaking, really? Can this all be for marketing/attention?

Not in the same league but the MR RWD has also gained over .4 second and +3MPH in the 1/4 mile since new. Original 5.5 best 0-60, now 5.2 Original (after first power increase update) 1/4 mile 14.0 @ 99.21, now 13.62 @102.45 They are still really sandbagging this and likely the SR+ from the start.

F$c$.... waitlisted at 2:33

This seems so easy and so important to bring to parity with the technology superior Model 3 /S. One of the biggest things I wish they’d folllow through with. I don’t know why some people have issues with this and others don’t. I would say my wife and I’d phone keys on our iOS devices (and...

This seems so easy and so important to bring to parity with the technology superior Model 3 has to offer /S. One of the biggest things I wish they’d follow through with.

It’s 5% power, not range.

Still a lot of misinformation here. From Tesla's own first responder guide for Model S: "NOTE: When an airbag inflates, Model S is designed to unlock all doors, the trunk, and extends all door handles." "NOTE: If the door handles do not function, open the door manually by reaching inside the...

Most don't comprehend what will happen to loose items in the car after an accident. Unless it's in the glovebox or a locked compartment, it's likely not going to be there after most accidents or god forbid a rollover. Accidents are violent... You are correct, having one is probably your best...

As a FF/Paramedic in my opinion these escape devices are a complete waste of money. First, after one or more impacts the device is not going to be where you would expect it to be. Second, anybody that involved in an accident is going to be less than calm resulting in the lack of ability to...

Although I complete agree with all the other wasted junk including games. I'm a bug fan of YouTube and Hulu for charging though (game changer for parents with young kids). However this would hands down be the cheapest advertising possible. This would be peanuts for the engineers to program...

I have, I can guarantee there is no special glass on Tesla’s as this is me taking the rear glass on an X Tuesday. All side glass on all Tesla’s is tempered. As a FF/Paramedic in my opinion these escape devices are a complete waste of money. First, after one or more impacts the device is not...
