This topic is to discuss any SpC congestions (or lack of) in TX and surrounding states during busy holiday periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas and July 4th weekends. I did drive between Dallas and Houston and back on Thursday (Thanksgiving day) and the next day, Black Friday. Zero issues. Zero...

Seems somewhat similar to Internet squatting.. more than real estate flippers.

TMC iPhone App has stopped displaying Twitter links in posts. Here is an example. The Desktop browser has no issues, just the iPhone App.

NASA still using feet and miles. Just quite arcane and silly. Unless institutions like NASA start to completely ditch using these units, there is no hope to change public's mind.

I would think that even 2026 is a bit optimistic for human travel in starship. For humans to travel on starship they need to nail the landings more than maybe 50 times or maybe even hundred times and I don’t think SpaceX will get there before 2026.

I have had three people in my neighborhood who have picked up their Teslas in the last two weeks, come to me this past week and ask about how to get the charging setup done in their garage. Tesla provides them with a charging cable that has a 120V plug. They also provide a J1772 adapter. So...

Moderator note: The first 17 posts of this thread were moved out of the "Holiday Travel" thread in the California forum. All these makes me wonder, is it even practical to keep scaling like this, if there are 2x or 3x the no. of Teslas on the road in say three years? Or how about the volume on...

I have a week off, this coming week, and the thought of watching a Starship launch is exciting to me. There is no guarantee that the launch will happen this week, but I am willing to take my chances. My wife and teenage daughter surprisingly agreed to join me. Now that means more planning. It...

Left got burnt in Game Stop GameStop stock halts trading after Reddit drama

When the lane changes were introduced, I didn't think it was a big deal. Anyway I need to press the indicator stack, so in my mind I had minimized the value addition it brought. But over the period of years and tens of thousands miles driving in highways and city roads in Autopilot, I had...

In my Model 3, the mirrors always folded when I parked anywhere, and I even had an option to exclude the fold in my home location. This was great. I don't see that option in Y. Or is it hidden somewhere? Along with lane change, is this also an FSD only option?

32,500+ miles Carmax offer: $33,000 Tesla trade in: $31.400 For private sale I am looking for $34,000. You can look at the car, but not entertaining Test drives If it is not privately sold by next Friday it will go to Carmax or Tesla. Pictures in the next post.

Blue 2018 Model 3 LR with AP (no FSD). 32k miles. 315 miles range. In good shape. What is a good asking price, if I were to do a private sale? Car Max? Tesla trade in? thank you

I have had my L3 RWD for about 22 months now, and always had intermittent issues with my door not opening with my iPhone and it progressively got worse that around late last year the hit rate was less than 50% success. Most often I had to simply turn off and on bluetooth and wait for 15 seconds...

Any speculation on location? San Antonio? Use this thread to discuss topics on Gigafactory Texas. Elon Musk on Twitter

I am in a TXU plan that gives me free power at night from 8 pm to 6 am, with a 5c increased rate during the day time than the cheapest option. Basically the cheapest option is around 10c/kWh all time of the day, and the free nights plan is 15c / kWh from 6 am to 8 pm and 0c rest of the time...

So I saw this thread here titled, "Huge price increase in Model Y" and it turns out the poster was mistaken by going to Canadian website. Anyway that got me intrigued and I logged into my Tesla account and saw my configuration and price: But then I went into edit mode to see what new options...

At 12 months I called Tesla Service to fix an appt for maintenance, and I was told there is really nothing like an annual service, and I was asked to call back after 2 years or 25k miles. So here I am at 25k miles in about 19 months and so fixed an appt for service through the Tesla app. In the...

$2500 refundable to $100 non refundable. I am not sure how to ready this? bullish or bearish?

SpaceX Launch Certification to Face Review by Pentagon Watchdog Wow !.. smells like a witch hunt. I wonder who is behind this? Predictably Dana Hull and the shorts are ecstatic. Her twitter feed is light up with, 'catch the fraud boy'. This country is sick.

No one is sending any probe let alone humans to any nearby stars. Not in our lifetime or anytime in the future.... ever. This is one of those things we can say ‘never’ and be comfortable with it. Basic laws of physics.

So I went to Dallas Service Center which also doubles as a delivery center sometime around noon last Saturday.To start with i was not even sure if my offer to help is even welcome there and would they consider my presence as help or a nuisance. So I tried calling them ahead but it only goes to...

I was wondering, if someone who bought last year, could list out the documentation/proof that is needed while filing tax return to claim the $7.5k credit? Should i get something specifically from Tesla? or DMV? Also what is the IRS tax code or form, that I can let my tax accountant know, so...

I always suspected that 45 psi that Tesla recommends for M3 is a tad high. Although my car doesn't ride that harsh as earlier M3, it is definitely rough than any other car I have had in the past. My 130k miles LX RX 350 rides much more smoother and quieter. Almost all of that is tire noise and I...

Okay this is very annoying. This morning I was getting "Hold Steering Wheel" message every 15-20 seconds. I noticed that my M3 generally gives more frequent nags than my AP1 S, but it used to be spaced around a minute to two minutes. This morning the same commute, very little traffic, AP set to...

I am sure some of you have crossed 10k miles. Anyone near 15k? 20k? The first one to cross 25k gets a round of applause. How is it going? Post your experiences here.

I am manning a booth in a local Earth Day event this Friday and the theme of my station is: "EVs contribution to a green sustainable future". The plan is to have a few slides running in the background on the big monitor, that touts the greenness of EVs, while I explain to anyone who is...

Howdy ! After unsuccessfully waiting for a reasonably priced CPO S with AP, I got frustrated and ordered an M3 yesterday I know Model S & X buyers can use referral codes from other owners and get $1000 discount. Is this true for Model 3 also? What if I already own an 'S' and have a referral...

Nitpick, pet peeve and a side bar: The idiocy of the Americans still using Miles, pounds, gallons is only matched by the idiocy of the Europeans using a comma when they should be using a period.

It makes me wonder, does paint dry in vacuum?

We have had glowing reviews of M3 on the driving dynamics, exterior, interior, charging capability - but so far I haven't seen any report on how the range holds on the highway, long distance real-world driving on a full charge. 310? 320? Or more? One of the first things we all learnt about the...

My S85 was totaled last week (more on that later). Geico has come back with a $45K evaluation for my car with the following specs: 2014 S85 Leather Tech package with Autopilot No other options 52K miles on the odo. I bought it for $64k, 2 years ago with 19k miles on the Odo. Wanted to...

So I charged my car as usual to 80% this morning which gives me 207 miles rated range on the display just like every other morning. At the end of my commute of 36 miles I am usually at 290 wh/mile which would consume around 38 miles - 2 miles more - which is in par for a rated consumption...

I am surprised there was hardly any coverage in the US media, as signified by no mention in this forum either. I missed it too and happened to stumble on it on a BBC site. GSLV MK III nicknamed 'Monster rocket' is a massive 3 stage rocket that can lift up to 4 tons of payload to Geo...

(mod note: conversation moved from SpaceX Falcon 9 FT launch - CRS-10 - LC-39A) Can someone please help me understand the exact trajectory of the first stage from MECO to landing. I have replayed this over a dozen times and I am still lost. - When MECO happens how far downrange is the rocket...

With the upcoming Bolt and M3, I don't see the point why anyone would even bother with these 100 mile EVs? And the re-sale value? Probably in 4 figures? It amazes me to even think that Nissan, who introduced the concept of a viable every day EV, was sleeping at the wheel. All they did was...

Now that 100kWh S is in production, time for some reflection. Tesla introduced the 85kWh in 2012 and it took 4 years to get to 100kWh. A 15 kWh increase over 4 years. Or about 4% a year. Even Nissan and BMW were able to increase from 24 to 30 over the same period or about 6% a year. A bit...

So with 10k miles in my new tires I called the Dallas SC to see if I can get it done along with a few other minor things. Was very surprised to hear that it might cost me around $200 to rotate them (no balancing, just rotation) at $175/hour (or is it $150 I can't recollect) and 1 1/2 hours of...

Bartender, can I please have what Mr. Musk is having? Doubling of Superchargers and Service centers? Really how is that possible? May be if you throw a lot of money at it then.. maybe.. Tesla could conceivably double the number Service centers in 20 months, although hiring competent techs is...

I get this noise that comes only under 5 mph and stops completely around 6 mph. No noise if I switch to neutral. Here is an audio recording that I did from iPhone placing it in the trunk. Tesla Noise Recording.mp3 0:00 to 0:0.07 : you will hear the noise as I gently accelerate from 0mph. it...

Anyone know a good dashcam installer in the DFW area? I am not too comfortable doing it myself and would rather use a professional installer? thanks

I know the type, because I am one. You have a daily commute that stretches to an hour and most of that is on highways. You know the route every bit that sometimes you get the feeling you even know every lane stripes and every pot hole on the way. You have mentally mapped every section of the...

I am planning to do the reverse of Day trip Austin-Plano tomorrow. Advice for a quick charge in Plano/Dallas? and wondering if the veterans have some tips for me. Plano to UT Austin is around 225 miles and I will start from my home in Plano fully charged. Waco is bang in the middle. So I can...

[I am surprised that there is no mention about this here. If this is already being discussed, mods please merge] We all know that 2016 Leaf expected to hit the dealerships in Sept this year will have a moderate increase of 25 more miles range with the addition of 6 kWh bringing the total...

Another right wing Republican hit piece on a conservative rag - nothing new there, but what caught my attention is two things: - the lying and the hatred spewed here is a bit unparalleled and takes the 'Tesla should be killed' mantra to a new low - this piece came several days ago and...
