Ahhh. Thanks. Here's to wishing and hoping they list the SR for $49,999 by the time I take delivery.

I'm a bit confused. When reading the website it says the MSRP limit is $60,000. Shouldn't the Y qualify? (f) For a light-duty zero emission vehicle as defined in 340-270-0030(8)(d)(B), that was purchased or leased on or after January 1, 2022, has a base manufacturer’s suggested retail price...

Just fyi, with large stranded cables, like 6 gauge on a 60A breaker, when connecting them to the breaker, you'll want to wiggle the wires back and forth, torque down the screws, wiggle them back and forth again, torque screws, and repeat until very snug. The stranded wire tends to flatten out...

Try burnishing. You'll probably need to disable regenerative breaking first. Or, you could skip the burnishing process and just disable regen for a week or two. Break pad burnishing process.

When I was in the Bay, my last car was broken into two times in broad daylight during lunch. Smash and grab both times. I guess they really needed shorts. One time was at an In N Out parking lot packed full. At least In N Out was sympathetic and gave me 10 free meals. The thieves are...

Yep. I experience this one in 15-30 songs on average. Sometimes it can be subsequent songs, other times I won't hear it for a few days. Pausing and restarting the song has fixed it, but it is annoying.

Took my M3 in a week ago for the brake issue. Hopefully this FW update fixes it. Here's what the SC diagnosis was:

Here's a paper evaluating SiC MOSFET's in auto inverters. Here's a presentation from last year that has some market info of where SiC will be headed. Pages 6-12. It's interesting to me that the power BOM is $387 and the sense BOM is $77, total $704. As economies of scale build, it's obvious...

Yeah, it's only 8:14pm. Does anyone think Elon is in Hawaii? It is only 5:14pm there.

Around Irvine, I still see more Maserati than M3. I only see a M3 2-3x per week and there are thousands of nice cars here. I think the numbers you are seeing around the SpaceX headquarters and Bay Area are most definitely skewed, but is a good example of what is to come for the rest of the...

I thought there was an actual defect from your title. They just screwed up and installed the wrong camera.

Most expensive by double because I can't find any big reasons not to buy. It has technology and design that will make my day to day life better and I'm wiling to pay for that now, much like the iPhone 4 when it originally was released.

Sounds like you've been busy looking for evidence to back up what you feel and you've found it. The internet is good at that. “Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.” ― Ben Hecht

Check this out at 16:00. Tall Dutch guy 6'4" laying in Model 3 with seats down.

Doh! Thanks for the info. I was excited yesterday so I went to eat a carne asada burrito and ponder what config to get. Now I'm a little depressed so I'll go eat a carne asada burrito later and again ponder what config to get.

WOOOOOO!!! Got my invite. Pre-reveal online reservation 3/31/16, SoCal. Dual motor now says Mid '18 instead of late.

Did you rebate ever come through?

Try another phone? As a software engineer you know this is a good idea even though you know your phone works.

No invite for me yet. Reserved as soon as reservations opened on 3/31/16 in Bay Area but am in Orange County now.

Anyone but me tune in just to get a glimpse of robots making batteries and cars? Unfortunately there wasn't much of that. Sigh. Best part of the story was when he said less automation!!! This means more agility (humans) and easier implementation of AWD into the assembly line. Give us AWD!!!

I would volunteer my time for free if given an invitation to sleep on the factory floor -- for a day or two ;). As I recall, he did this for the X also. Fixed the problems and still no unions. I think Musk is more of a hands on engineer than a Six Sigma black belt. The style has worked thus...
