This is an old video, but it pretty much puts into words why I'm buying a Tesla. Elon has outlined that Telsa isn't about the technology that's used in the car, if it has self driving, etc. Tesla's mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future. I believe in that future...

There seems to be a lot of 'reaching' here about usability (pun intended) that discounts the problem can be solved multiple ways with the phone. The focus seems to be overwhelmingly on how to use a phone as a dumb device to replicate a keyfob, where there is a lot more you can do just within the...

Thanks for the info about the Audi. As I stated earlier and others have said here, the unlock uses BLE RSSI and therefore can be quite precise in terms of where you're standing to have the auto unlock work. This is quite a well known and understood technology in other applications. Please stop...

Ah, I didn't realize they allowed up to three. This might be the excuse I need to buy the Watch 3 with GPS and upgrade my v1. Thanks for the info, this clarifies things nicely.

This is a good question. If you need the phone to unlock and you have a watch like this to use would you leave the phone in the car? This is kind of like the question someone asked with needing to leave her phone in the car because of her workplace policies. Not sure how exactly it would work...

My observations of drivers in california is that if you observe the 2 second rule, they will pull in front of you to get around traffic. It annoyed me at first but I think with EAP I won't get as bothered by it.

Wow, there seems to be a fair amount of 'get off my lawn' and 'damn kids these days' going on here. Life changes, sometimes things get better, sometimes worse, but you can guarantee what you did before won't be the same forever. As to using your phone, some technical info from someone who works...

I'll need to remember if I ever visit Iceland to not get any other car than an AWD. Sounds dangerous.

Compared to my current coverage and the quote I got from Geico previously, it's cheaper. Looks like a good deal

This is a great idea for a new 'Smug' South Park episode.

Why not Tesla underwear, both boxers and briefs and of course women's as well for the SO.

I was of that mind set when I first got my AWD, until I discovered that I really didn't know anything about how that helps a car vs the kind of tires you have on it. I ummed an ahhhed quite a bit, read up on what types of tires are and what they did and came to the conclusion AWD wasn't really...

Just as an exercise in seeing if driving a long distance in the SR would even inconvenience me, I went to EV Trip Planner and plugged in a trip from my home here in CO to Las Vegas (maybe I'll win a new Tesla Model S there!). That site is nice in that it adds in supercharger stopping times and...

Saving the $9K isn't the only reason to not get the LR. If you have the money, sure it's not a big factor in your decision, but saying it's the only reason someone would get the SR is discounting what people would actually use the car for. If money is no object, why not get a Model S? Why would...

One thing that hasn't been discussed in relation to range anxiety (which is mostly what we're discussing here) is that we are still in the _very_ early days of developing the EV market. I'm fairly certain when society started to convert from horses to gas driven cars that there was a similar...

Thanks, this is some great info. I'll check out Kirby. I did find the Denver Tesla Club page but it looked like they hadn't done anything from about May.

I didn't realize you were in CO as well. Lone Tree is also my local store (in Centennial). I had a similar conversation with them in the store and they signed me up. They mentioned it would be a test drive event similar to what they did with the Model X but at the time they didn't know when it...

Wow, talk about called out...

For all the fuss about taking the covers off, I don't think it looks any better than with the Aero covers on. To really change the look to be more 'chromey' you would need to go with the 19" designs

I was gonna say I had the oldest car that my M3 would be replacing, until I saw Tony B's post. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer with 190K miles on it. I've owned it since 1998 and kept it in good condition generally. For me, I was never interested in getting a 'luxury' car as it seemed like a waste...

I think the Blue looks great in this light with the Aeros.

Interesting. I hadn't realized that the screen stayed on when the car was parked. Good shot of the roof in those pictures.

Totally agree with this, not unusual at all for a software company and Elon has said as much that Tesla is not operating the same way as traditional car companies. He even said that's why they don't have model years and just upgrade things as they go. Elon Musk: Model S not a car but a...

I really like this pic of the M3 with the Aero's. The way the light is on the car to me makes the wheels not stand out as much as other pics.

If you want to really insult him, just call him an Australian and say the All Blacks suck. lmao.

This was pretty much my thinking about it, the Aero's will help in winter driving.

You bring up an interesting point. I don't know I've seen any pictures to date of the Aero wheels on a car that's moving.

I seem to have hit a nerve with some of you ;) Glad to hear what everyone thinks though, I wonder if Tesla is including the look of them in their initial employee survey of who got one to ask what they liked and didn't like. I wonder also if any of you had considered if you can paint the wheels...

I have been reading about the standard aero wheels vs getting the sport package on the M3 and I don't understand why people think it's such a bad thing. I get that some may not like the look, that's a personal preference. To me they don't look bad, and have some advantages. For example I can see...
