BLW2, I'm planning to wait and see. Musk says the price will continue to go up, but the history of Tesla upgrades show that they eventually come down or become included. When the S70 and 75 co-existed, you could pay $3,250 to "unlock" the bigger battery that was actually in your delivered car...

Actually, I'm interested in the actual answer to this question, too. Let's say that someone *does* ding the door or scratch the car. Do you write it off to people are jerks and normal wear and tear or would you actually confront the other driver. "Excuse me, you damaged my car." But then what...

It's a mostly frightening reminder that if the renders show what the Tesla "understands" about the vehicles that are stationary in real-life then the vision-based self-driving suite is a very long way off :( I constantly notice that the cars are not rendered in the correct location, identified...

Stopped here on August 9th and tried 5B and got 71 kW then moved to 1A and got 64 kW. Only one other Tesla at the SC around 10pm.

I agree with other posters: this is one of the few stations we've seen at or near capacity. There are many routes that go along or between 77/81 that send you through this station. Hopefully they add more stalls in the future. When driving from Virginia to Georgia, we usually make this our one...

The system does significantly reduce cognitive load on long drives with few obstacles/maneuvers... so there's that. But complex situations are still way too complex for the system.

I too have disabled NoA and recommend this to everyone. It's a cute parlor trick to be able to automatically change lanes, but it's not really a function I need the car to perform for me. As for cognitive load... you're right, but the cognitive load is *different*. We grew up learning the...

Dude. You have got to read the instructions before you ruin it for everyone. The instructions... the ones that you clicked "accept" to... say that Autopilot DOES NOT YIELD WHEN MERGING. It very clearly tells you on the warning screen that the car does not stop for red lights and does not yield...

Your head should also go back to 2001 and read about a little company called amazon that had stock that fell from $120 to $3. This is normal. The news you are reading is to generate headlines. That doesn’t mean it’s true. Yep, they have challenges. So does IBM.

Unfortunately, I had a similar problem. My 2017 Model S was taxed in 2018 at *greater* than the purchase price from 2017. The base price of the MS was lowered in April 2017, but the NADA guide didn't reflect the fact that the base price of the vehicle went *down*. All the pricing changes for the...

2020 in Musk terms is probably 2022 but Tesla almost certainly has a new battery tech up their sleeve because both the Roadster and semi don’t “make sense” with current tech. One possibility is they are just lying. A more likely scenario is that there is a new battery tech coming within a year...

I had mine replaced and the tech said there was a defect with the screen... it affects almost all the screens, and that eventually there will be an aftermarket fix when it is designed. If it's fixable with firmware - which would be impressive - that would save them a lot of $$.. I think the...

I get that the M3 is the new hotness... but it does seem like Tesla has abandoned the Model S and Model X. I read an article about a new feature and it's going to the lower-priced M3. Next time around, I will definitely NOT be buying the "flagship" vehicle in the lineup. (feeling very left-out...

For continuous long-range driving, you will want to consider a vehicle that has Autopilot 2.0 or 2.5 hardware and software. Remember that the AP upgrade is $5,000 at the time of purchase, so you should expect a newer 75D with AP2.0/2.5 to be a little more expensive than an older 90D without. The...

You get about 3 miles per hour charging off 120V, so I would be surprised if you got a full 40 miles off a single workday. When accounting for losses, temperature, etc... that wall outlet puts about 1 kW into the car in 1 hour (1 kWh). If you live in a low cost energy state, you can assume that...

Popped up in email as a popular post so I needed to get my flamethrower.

Given the functionality in the Performance Model 3, you shouldn't be surprised to see a few years old Model S with AP1 to be basically worthless. People in the market for a $100k car would rather have one new. When Tesla updated the Model S with AP2.5, they also increased the acceleration...

It has become ridiculously clear over the past six or so months that Tesla's "A" team is working on the Model 3 with no significant updates to the Model S/X... well, I guess they're "done." There have been queries to Elon about when a "major refresh" is coming... but no news. I have been...

Don’t bother. Just wait. I used executive escalate and finally got a reply. It took 3 weeks to get be part and schedule the install. The Tyco rd service center said “this is the first one we’ve done. These aren’t supposed to roll out until two months from now.” Not a good sign. They gave me a...

Heard a similar story from Tesla on Tyco rd. 40 on the top deck of the garage by Nordstrom. Will be the 3rd largest in the world at the time
