I live in a condo. Some of my neighbors are watching and waiting for my car to burst into flames and burn the building down. I am considering getting a fire extinguisher. My only question is whether it will serve as a reminder, of all the misinformation they have consumed.

Perfect! Thank you very much!

That would be cool if it’s not too much trouble?

Did anyone get a picture of the fire extinguisher?

I got 17,000 on my first set of tires. I let many friends test drive it, and there were a number of ’spirited’ accelerations.

I charged here today!

Agreed.

Can she share where she got the mug?

Yes. It was packed when we went through last Saturday.

The Titusville chargers are on. With caveats!! I only saw 60 Kw. I got the same result on both sides. The power meter is still not installed. Until this happens, I would not bank on this site being on.

Pictures from last weekend

can someone double check my photos? The construction is in the Target parking lot. I count 18 total stalls? The stalls are divided into two banks. One bank is where Larry circled on the map. I count 10 platforms? This is in the third picture. The other bank is in the L shape of the parking lot...

Fantastic! This is directly on 405, the road to the NASA visitor center. It is maybe 1 mile off I-95. I have suggested this intersection to every one I’ve talked to. I really worried about long lines at nearby Superchargers at the next major launch. We get wall to wall Tesla’s in town for...

Well, me! I just bought my second one. Best car in the world!

FYI I’ve seen around 190 kW at a 250 kW station. I have a 2020 model S, a long range plus. It only lasted a few minutes. This car does charge faster than my 2017 model S 100D.

My flight is officially Canceled. Without a refund. I will get a credit for a future flight. We will probably book on IcelandAir. We will decide in a few days.

Miss you, too! I RSVP’ed just now. Fingers crossed flights will be back by then.

Carol and I bought our tickets. I haven’t RSVP’ed yet. I’m optimistic. How do we elect @KarenRei to be a mod?

Does my experience at Tesla compare with others? Carol and I went to the Orlando Tesla sales and service location. We went Thursday to drop off her model 3, and picked it up yesterday, Friday. No handshakes, which was a little comical with the sales team. They were having to think about it...

I see a lot of guesses about how long this will last. I know from studying history how the 1918 flu affected cities. Generally once cities completely closed down, the epidemic lasted about two weeks. Spitting on the ground would get you a fine equal to a day’s pay. Getting onto a streetcar...

Do I have this right? Head shops are essential in SF, but Tesla isn’t? Pot is legal in 47 states, but Tesla is only legal around half of US states? If so, What A Country!

Wow! I missed any reference to 2009. I said 1987, the day of the single largest percentage drop of the DJIA in history. It was a surreal day, going to interviews with people trying to call their brokers instead of interviewing college kids. As far as I know, we all got form letters from those...

My college career day was the day of the 1987 crash. I had interviews all that day. I put graduation off a semester and had a redo in the spring. I got a number of offers and had a successful career. Best of luck to you.

I’m wondering if we can limit the trash talking? Aren’t there a number of web sites where you can talk about ‘libs’ to your hearts content? edit: typo

College wrestling championships were held over the weekend. From the Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/03/16/emphasizing-faith-rather-than-fear-college-wrestling-tournament-went/ At the bottom of the article, the Liberty University Coach is quoted as saying the virus...

Can I take a moment and thank the health workers on this site for what you are doing?

The full report is here: The U.S. Government and Global Health One line in the report: Total U.S. global health funding was $11 billion in FY 2019, up from $5.4 billion in FY 2006; the current Administration, however, has proposed significantly reducing global health funding for FY 2020...

I’m early 60’s. I have a pension and will get Social Security. I have no debt. I will keep a nest egg that will cover two years expenses if everything goes south. I don’t expect it to. Other than that, I’m buying.

Since the teenagers are also out of school, there are a lot of potential babysitters. I think this work out fine in the US.

I bought a few more at $562. Already down a few bucks on them. I’ll never catch the bottom. I won’t sell for years. I think the panic will end.

Hi Karen! @KarenRei Are there any changes given the Coronavirus outbreak?

That’s the world wide number. The US number is ~100 per day, or ~36,500 annually

Looking here in Florida, the only inventory cars with $1K off have more than 1,000 miles on the odometer. This looks like normal pricing to me.

I would suggest fear is causing the markets to tumble. Greed will return. I’m buying. Not an advice.

Bought a few when the price dropped below $630. The price immediately dropped. I bought a few more when the price dropped below $620.

Even Carol bought a few. She loves sales!

Bought a few at ~$717

Bought a few at ~$730 at the open.

OT: #changingchina A friend in China is predicting a baby boom in China this November. There are a lot of people stuck at home with little to do. #newcustomers

Agreed! Flying 3-5 days a week did it for me!

The quote often cited but bears repeating, We launched the largest revenue consumer product in history (model 3) , with an advertising budget of zero dollars.

I think most car manufacturers would disagree, if you ask the question right. They will tell you the hundreds to thousands of parts in the engine complex and the transmission are the important bits of a car. That’s why they outsource almost all of the rest.

I love the smell of squeezing in the morning.

Can we agree we are in squeeze territory now?

Ralph Nader launched his career attacking the Corvair. Unsafe at Any Speed - Wikipedia His book revolutionized people’s views on vehicle safety. And it was mostly wrong. The Corvair had average safety for the time, which was quite terrible. He loved the attention. He ran for president in...

Any chance “include potential savings” is now selected?

Zach Shahan points to this 2010 article: Volkswagen Plans to Sell 300,000 Electric Cars a Year by 2018 In 2010 VW was going to be the largest EV seller in 2018.

I was planning to sell stock in 2017 to buy my Model S. When I talked to Carol, she said “What! Don’t sell any stock! What about a loan?” I looked into a loan. Tesla offered 0.9% financing. Can we all agree I’m the second smartest member of my home team?

A few more 10K’s to wait for: 10K vehicles per week out of the Freemont factory. With model Y, this should happen this year 10K vehicles per week out of GF3. Likely 2021, but I won’t bet against them building out the factory quicker. 10K vehicles per week out of GF4. Likely 2022. After that? My...
