    Potential deal pending. Please note: I will always defer to selling to first comers/offers first even at a lower price.

    Vendor The Ultimate Carbon Ceramic Brake System for Model S Plaid

    Great info. One last question - are there any deletions of OEM functionality such as brake temp sensors or other characteristics that are altered or changed with your system? Thanks in advance for the quick clarifications! It is much appreciated.

    Vendor The Ultimate Carbon Ceramic Brake System for Model S Plaid

    Thank you - I'm wanting to run very specific tires and the ONLY diameter tire that is a good match for the Plaid's 28 inch overall diameter is a 20 inch size, so this means I can run a larger, stickier tire with your kit. Thank you very much for the assist. I will ask Forgeline to confirm the...

    Vendor The Ultimate Carbon Ceramic Brake System for Model S Plaid

    How about a 20 inch wheel? Maybe specifically a custom offset made Forgeline CF201?

    Heads up for Houston owners getting a wrap or detail

    Hey guys - sorry this is a first post from a non-owner...but a Tesla is our next car and after seeing a lot of Teslas at a local detail shop that did a terrible job on my car, I felt a heads-up was in order. The shop is Dynamic Autoworks off Stuebner-Airline road in the north Houston area. They...

    Blog Tesla Shareholder Meeting: Musk Remains Chairman, Promises a $35K Model 3 By End of Year

    I was really pleased. Musk was patient and gracious with all questions, even those from a younger girl who said she owned just one share. Overall, the information was good - but as always I long for more depth. But I do understand Musk's reluctance to provide much, given how Tesla is...

    New vs Old Rear Seats

    Hitting stationary objects in a Tesla - bad for your pocketbook, reputation, etc... Hitting stationary objects in any other car - might kill you, your wife/husband, children. etc I'll take the car that has the lower risk of injury or loss of life.

    New vs Old Rear Seats

    I know CR didn't seem to like the rolling improvements, but why? I know some early buyers might not get the "latest and greatest", but this is actually ALWAYS the case. The main difference between Tesla and other carmakers is that with other carmakers, and entire model year of people don't get...

    Blog Tesla Releases Info on Dual-Motor Model 3; Performance Version to Cost $78K

    Looking forward to the various head-to-head comparisons by various organizations like Road&Track, C&D, etc that prove or disprove that the Model 3 is in fact better on a track than the BMW M3 (let's throw Merc's AMG C-series in for good measure!). But I think the Alfa Guilia is probably the...

    Sudden Unexpected Acceleration today

    Not sure I agree with this. I have a car with nearly 1000hp (yes, it's a highly modified one...) and regardless of speed, the brakes can slow the car from pretty much ANY speed, regardless of whether the throttle is closed or 100% open. Brake fade CAN happen, but only if the brakes have...

    Jim Keller leaves the autopilot team

    I think you may be thinking about this wrong - the kind of people who will change the landscape aren't ones you "need to get up to speed" - they are the ones that come in and shake things up (in a good way). They are the ones getting the rest of your company up to speed. FWIW - Netflix is...

    Jim Keller leaves the autopilot team

    I'm with you - and I think for exactly this reason Tesla (i.e. Elon) will do whatever it takes to retain him, within reason.

    Blog With Lifted Restrictions in China, Tesla Can Own Its Own Factory

    Well - the story doesn't note this, but I thought there was a "by 2022, perhaps" timeline attached to this. So no - Tesla, nor anyone else can't own their own factory at this point or any time in the foreseeable future. Four years is a L O N G wait. And that doesn't count the time it takes to...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    Sorry - I should have been more specific. I'm looking at free cash flow, which is usually the common concerned raised about Tesla and the reason everyone seems to think they will be...bankwupt. And yet Netflix operates just fine racking up $300 to $600 million per quarter in negative free cash...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    I too would like there to be more of a plan. But many companies nowadays have adopted a culture where disruption is acceptable as long as it accelerates product development and production. At companies like Google, Apple, and many others, management AND employees accept that plans may change...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    I share your concern, but I also understand that this is common in many industrial settings. I think workers always knew that the production line would need updating, probably multiple times, to get things where they need it to be. But here's what sets my mind at ease about morale: Last year...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    First - if you haven't seen this elsewhere, here's a link, with pictures, from a driver who spotted a small fleet of test mules at a track in California. He didn't get much in the way of pictures, but you can see the front drive axle and the air suspension and other indications of a much more...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    Oh sorry - for a second there, I thought you were talking about Netflix! They just announced earnings - $2 billion loss this year, with a $3-$4 billion loss expected next year. And oddly, the BEST performing tech stock over the last 10 years. Go figure - welcome to the modern age.

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    Yeah - like a few other carmaker plants have had happen recently... But those companies don't have a few hundred thousand people queued up WANTING a car. These are first rate problems, for sure. But you are right - people are totally getting their panties in a wad over this. They get pissed...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    THIS! I didn't buy a Model S because while they are rockets 0-60, the braking and handling wasn't quite sporty enough for me. But it LOOKS like there might be a truly sports-car oriented Model 3 coming out - with track-worthy braking and wheel and tire package. And while I would prefer a...

    Model 3 Production Line Paused for Improvements

    What you call "behind" appears to still be years ahead of where other automakers are. I get the frustration - my guess is that like me, you are a Tesla shareholder. But if - in the larger picture - this turns out to be a 3, 6, or even 9 month delay - all while other automakers take years to...

    Saw a Performance Dual Motor Model 3 today at the track!

    Does anyone happen to know the tire size(s) that our OP saw on these test mules? Or the actual tire model - such at Sport Cup 2 versus Super Sport? That would tell us a lot...

    Saw a Performance Dual Motor Model 3 today at the track!

    Sure - cars like the M5 were designed with the track in mind. Right now Tesla has a limited number of models, and we know the Model S was intended to be a nice, luxurious car. The some engineer said, "Hey - if we dial up the amps, we can make this thing launch HARD!". So they did - mostly for...
