I went w.ith a neighbor on a self-demo of a MY. It was a disaster. The car was dirty. The phone call with the Tesla employee who gave an overview was over-complicated and my neighbor and his wife were intimidated. The wife refused to drive it, too complicated. This was an abject failure.

Tesla probably knows the answer.

I can picture a pointy cover for the receiver that locks into the hitch the way the trailer does, but points forward with a bike rack type of lock. We could probably scale the manufacturing and get the break even down to about 87 years.

I had the same thing. Ranger could not get it open to fix it. I drove it to the Santa Barbara service center, about 80 miles. They fixed it in about 3 to 4 hours. There was a part replaced. Santa Barbara Tesla has always been a well run operation.

The pin for the first San Luis Supercharger was also downtown. When they pull the permit, the location will be correct.

Is that your nose on the floor?

I have not seen anything in writing that indicates the LR version has a different interior other than the software displays to make plaid selections.

I don't regret Ceramic Pro or adding the Tesla Extended Warranty. I'm will not be buying FSD on my new X on order. Autopilot is just fine for trips and divided highways. I'll drive my own neighborhood myself, but I have it on the current MS and am looking forward to it rolling out.

I don't know why they are forcing people to pay for a rear screen that they don't want and may never use. It should be an option.

Note that there appears to be SC parking on both sides of the chargers. I have not seen that before.

All of the equipment seems to be there. Just need to wire it up. The movie theaters, now closed, are in the background. The chargers are between the theaters and the previous Starbucks location. It's too far to walk to the new Starbucks, but there is an In-N-Out, Blaze Pizza, Palo Mesa...

These chargers are behind Dick's Sporting Goods. El Pollo Loco is a short walk, with Olive Garden just a little longer. If you want to cross the highway, the Whole Foods makes good sandwiches, and, of course, you can get an all-beef hot dog and a large soda for $1.50. This is a pretty good...

I bought Advanced Autopilot with the car and added FSD for $2K when it went on sale for about 3 weeks in 2019. I use the AAP on freeways but have heard about too many scratches, etc. using Summon and parking. No way FSD is worth $9K or $10K just to steer around the neighborhood or get off of...

If they don't know how to drive it, I would not have them work on it.

I have the yellow ring and have MCU1, but being upgraded to MCU2 today. They are also replacing the center screen.

Took mine in for MCU2 yesterday and picking it up tomorrow. They did HW3 a few weeks ago, but the MCU2 parts got hard to get. Appreciate the tips when picking up the car.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where to put it. Admin may move it.

Moderator note: This post plus the two immediately following were merged from another thread. After intermittently only opening a foot a couple of times, the hatchback door finally didn't open, but it showed as open on the center council of my 2017 75D. I called Tesla Service and went through...

Great location. Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf about 25 yards South and across the street. Starbucks about 50 yards South. There are several restaurants very close.

When a business talks about taking action with something in mind, it is not just a thought, it is a mitigation action item. Keeping something in mind means that you modify an action based on the facts of the subject kept in mind.

Smart move on Tesla's part, letting everyone see the safety measures. If they start setting up a paint shop in NV, then the move is underway. Since they set up an assembly line in 3 weeks for the M3, it won't take too long to get one going in NV once the paint shop is ready. Getting out of CA...

So glad we got this straight. The first thing I thought of when I work up this morning was, "I wonder if the Cybertruck will float." Now that we got this straight, we can solve some global problems.

Obviously, Mr. Ruffo does not like Tesla. He probably never owned one.

I think they added it in the Fall of 2017. I have a 2017 75D and it was the first new feature I got over the air.

Use the easy entry feature to set the seat back pretty far. After you get in and step on the brake and buckle the seatbelt, you're in business.

I've seen scrambled characters on this screen on my 1917 MS 75D

There was no recommendation about the way the lanes split and the "gore area" that led the MX into the barrier. The two car pool lanes split and there is a center area that can even confuse a human since there were multiple crashes at that site, double the average. Something should be done so...

When we bought our solar panels about 2.5 years ago, we wanted to lower our cash flow due to retiring. Everything I read indicated that it took 6 to 10 years to "break even" on solar. Here's how the economics worked out: Solar cost: $15,000 (2 panels more than required to zero...

This is definitely old news. Is it being recycled by the short sellers?

I would hope, but Tesla really seems to be infatuated with the M3 when the MS has been their foundation.

I'd have to see the HUD. Door pockets would also be a big plus to update. Four hundred mile range and a tow hitch (for bikes) would be a big attraction.

If they take away the driver's console, I won't be updating. It will just be a bigger, more expensive Model 3.

This article should not have been written. It's a chopped Model S, a Frankenstein.

Stupid and juvenile. Not what I'd expect from a luxury car maker.

Add 10 minutes for each fill-up if you Costco!

You see all of these stats about an EV charger being within 2 miles of 85% of the homes, but what people new to the EV world don't understand is that a vast majority of these (excluding Tesla Superchargers) are L2 chargers and that it will take 4 to 8 hours to get a Bolt or Leaf back on the road...

If it sent a text to your phone it would really be cool and worth buying.

A great piece of technical writing. Thank you very much.

Yup. Kick the tire, light the fire, and go!

So, cut it in half and it still looks good.

A great school for AG, Architecture, and Computer Science. Hope he loved his first year. Grads get very high paying jobs.

But, where there two? LOL

Now those wheels are the first I've seen that may be worth the extra $. Very nice.

They are right near Bed Bath & Beyond.

Can't have an easier off and on to 101, especially if going South. The SC's are about 25 yards from the on and off ramps. The stop lights at the intersection on the left of the picture are the off and on ramps for 101 South bound.

Couldn't you have purchased the extended warranty?

Based on my personal experience with putting in solar, and then analyzing my power usage and switching to an EV rate schedule, PG&E seems to have their act together. They also give a $500 rebate for anyone buying an EV. You just fill out a simple form and send them proof, such as a copy of the...

There are 2 - 6KWh in Pismo Beach at the California Fresh Market parking lot. Can also give you a bump on the way to Buelton. They are also free.

Like an army prepares the battlefield, Trump prepares the negotiating table. You see it beginning to work with N. Korea. The tariffs are just pre-negotiating prep. You can see it as a card to play with NAFTA. It could also be a card to play with China on NK. There will be some tariffs, but...
