Nah, I will just buy a #1776 and get the EAP system I thought I purchased in the first place. This whole system is about liability. I recognize that I am driving and liable. I am a big boy, and I wear my big boy pants so it's OK.

I LOVE that they call it the #1776. At least SOME people get that this country wasn't founded as a nanny state. Spirit of '76 (sentiment) - Wikipedia

They DID seem like more like ambien tweets. Especially the short shorts stuff. Been guilty of a few of those myself. I always turn off the computer BEFORE taking ambien now. Luckily I'm not a racist like Rosanne and not important enough to go to jail for my Facebook posts. :)

Have you seen his girlfriend? I am nearly certain she ingests mind altering chemicals. Is it really that far of a stretch to think she may be "turning him on" to them? Did you see his recent tweets? Bizarre.

Yow. I mean, I am guessing his girlfriend is probably not a great influence on him. https://jalopnik.com/was-elon-musk-tweeting-on-acid-azealia-banks-says-yes-1828307241

True, but one can choose to be as "clean" as possible. Up unil now Tesla was the best car company to support if you had morals. It was made in the mostly friendly countries. Japan, Korea, The EU, and USA provided most labor of the car. The fuel was mostly good old West Virginia coal. Now it...

We cannot control, nor can Tesla who buys publicly traded stock. But for Tesla to partner with them and grant them a very large, possibly controlling stake is very troubling. For the record I am against the gigafactory in China. But one factory is not the same as changing who "owns" the...

As an American let me first thank your government for not selling out its principles as ours has. Looking forward to watching the fanbois jump through mental hoops on why this is OK.

It is a plausible scenario. Who has enough money to buy all of TSLA at $420/share? It's a pretty small list. I never said it was "for sure" going to happen. I asked how everyone would feel about it if it did. I also stated how I would feel in the initial post.

OK, but they pretty much run OPEC. Also, they are probably the most repressive country on earth, save North Korea. If they are the source of funding to take TSLA private doesn't that bother you a little?

Would you still love the brand? The major reason I bought my car was to keep my money out of the pockets of backwards monarchs. Now this.... https://gizmodo.com/report-saudi-arabia-may-be-planning-a-major-bid-for-te-1828288394

So apparently my post was edited by the mods for offending red necks. The guy, girl, or non gender specific person could have had any color neck, and because God made him, (or them) they are beautiful. Unless you are an atheist, in which case none of this really matters anyway.

The real question is, where will you plug in once you get to Altus?

So, good news. The Tesla dealer tried but couldn't buff it out. They recommended a body shop. The body shop said it was into the the paint but they were able to buff it out using a "wet sander" or something. They said I got very lucky it was as close to the paint as it could get. Total cost...

My car gets parked in public due to my job. I have had it 2 weeks and it has been keyed. Never happened on any other car I have owned. I was taking it to get wrapped next week. Don't underestimate the jealousy and hatred some people have for these cars. (Mod edit to remove specific group...

Mine sounds like a bicycle with a baseball card in its spokes. It works great, just louder than I would think. Is it normal?

Vision based FSD is 20 years or more away. It will not happen without a hardware retrofit on current model 3s.

Spending half your attention tugging on the steering wheel isn't safer than hand driving. Every minute or two should keep you from falling asleep. (Since all it really does is check that you are awake, not if you are engaged mentally.) If I am so tired that this fails I should not be driving.

Obviously it's different, however if the automation becomes a distraction *cough* requiring constant tugging/ beeping every 25 seconds *cough* we are trained to turn it off. It is there as an aid. If it isn't aiding you get rid of it.

So, I am an airline pilot. I have just a small amount of experience with human-automation interface. Can you guess how many aircraft require your hands on the controls for the automation to work? Zero. One of the benefits of low level automation is the way it expands your awareness of what...

I f I don't know. Could you fuel your vehicle?

Keep telling unhappy customers they are entitled. I cant charge my $55k electric car. Wah wah. How dare I complain. Keep dismissing criticism. Part of the tesla "brand" has been its amazing customer support stories. Wait until thousands of 1 year post reveal orders get their cars and can...

So, your argument is that Tesla Service, (the people who work on these cars) shouldn't have common parts like these around? That holding, say, 2 or 3 of each adapter would be cost prohibitive? Keep in mind, these adapters are already in stock somewhere in the company. Thats cool. They...

It would be cost neutral. All NEMA adapters made by Tesla cost $35. Why wouldn't Tesla service: 1) Carry all accessories for sale. Its not like there is a huge amount available on the Tesla website. 2) Make whatever charging solution you have in your house available at time of purchase...

So, I get my car. I write a check the size of a college education. Flawless vehicle, but the delivery? Not so much. Two nitpicks. The phone chargers? One USB-C and one Iphone. On a $55k car, could we maybe just stock all the common types still in use and allow the customer to choose...

USAA aint what it used to be. Super expensive now. If you are a vet try navyfederal or penfed. Or, go with Tesla financing which was surprisingly the same. On a side note I switched auto insurance from USAA and saved $100/mo for the same coverage.

Dude, if you are a student pilot you should be driving a 10 year old prius. You are about to enter the ranks of the regional meat grinder, with, and I am just guessing here, huge debt. I am already at a major, and am having a tough time justifying a model 3. Unless you are one of those guys...

I put yes. I am a pilot, but my degree is in Aerospace Engineering.

Says the guy who is getting the tax credit.

*sigh* The "let them eat cake" argument from a model S owner again. What a surprise. How about this, they need to get the tax credit to make the car fit into their budget. Or, they need the tax credit to justify the purchase. Whatever semantics make you happy with the fact that the middle...

Mine got pushed back as well, March-May now. Day 1 line waiter. Good thing all those needy Model S/X owners will soak up the tax credits. Hint for Elon: When the tax credits go away its the non owners who will cancel their reservations. They actually need it to afford the car.

They don't need to know the difference. All they need to do is distribute the cars in the sequence they were reserved, within reason (i.e. logistically possible). Honor the wait list. Not that hard, but Tesla excels at making something easy into something complicated (*cough* gullwings *cough*).

You just described the consept of a wait list, then said we don't "deserve something special" like higher priority. Ever been to the supermarket? Ever waited in line? Were the people in the front of the line getting "something special"?

I don't blame people for taking $7500 they don't need. However, the smuggness is saying things like "If you can't afford it without the tax credit you shouldn't have it." All while gobbling up a SECOND $7500 credit for yourself. BTW you are not the first prior owner who has posted this...

Spoken like a someone who could afford to buy an S/X. Smug I think is the word. I am just hoping some other company can build out a charging network so my next car can be from a company that doesn't lie and play favourites.

That would deprive all those people who selflessly gave Tesla money for a Model S/X their rightful place in line. Those great martyrs didn't buy those cars for THEMSELVES! They bought them for Tesla!

I can tell you what it WON'T be. The ability to configure your Model 3 before anyone else.

Let the Let them eat cake, and drive a bolt.

Statements like this are why normal people hate rich people.

I suppose you bought your car out of cherity for Tesla? Or did you buy it because you WANTED the car? Thanks for funding the 3. You also got to drive a Tesla around for years when most of us couldn't afford to. I'm insulted that I waited in line, gave Tesla $1k to hold my place in line and...

Oh dude, I don't blame you at all. If I were in your shoes I'd be doing the same thing. It's Tesla that allowed the line cutting. You should order the second one and sell it while there is still a tax credit. Free market and all that. If people have a problem with it they can take it up...

They are hoping to capture the various tax credits. In CA its $10k with the federal credit included. It's illegal, but the IRS would have to catch them, then prove that they "intended" to resell. Also, if they are employees they have had the car for a few months now so it would be hard to...

T And that is the problem with allowing owners to cut. They already have at least one Tesla. They probably don't need another one. So AFTER they see the huge demand shown on the first day, by people who couldn't afford a Tesla before, they put in an order (or two now) in order to profit off...

Oh cool! I will just continue to look at my "thank you" card they gave me for standing in line for hours in the cold. Tesla is making me seriously mad not honoring the fact that people waited in line having not even SEEN the car yet. Now owners get TWO oportunities to cut in line?! I am...

More impotantly, the textile feels out of place. It is the cheapest part of the interior. Even if I had not read this thread, it would have stood out. From the top of the doors down its an amazing car, from the top of the doors up its a base model chevy. Completely incongruent.

Just got a chance to sit in one of the model 3s in the showroom. The headliner is CHEAP. The lady called it "re-engineered textile". I called it the exact same material in my chevy. The rest of the interior is awesome, which makes the really cheap headliner stand out. That and the vanity...

Tesla: Did you try to defrost your roof with boiling water? Owner:Yeah. Tesla: Are you a Model S/X owner? Owner:Yeah. Tesla: Ok, thats all that matters to us. It's covered!

I don't. Can you imagine if you waited in line for hours to get the new iphone, then when you got to the front of the line they said "Gee, we really appreciate your support! No, REALLY! Here is a card with a picture of an iphone on it to prove it. THIS phone I am holding in my hand is going...
