    Tesla Takes Tug-of-War With Ford to Twitter

    Fair? Suppose you're out driving somewhere and want to pull someone out of a ditch? Which truck will be better and why? "Excuse me, sir, while I go find 2000 pounds to put directly over the driven wheels of my F-150. Then I shall be, possibly, just as capable as Cybertruck."

    Next generation seat retrofit, pics and tinkering with old seats

    Tesla store or independent shop? In the meantime I fixed my 2013 Model S seat comfort issue with a 2018 Model 3 (LR) which we use for road trips.

    Window Mysteriously Open

    Damn... not cool. Please let me know if/what they replace! I was also wondering if there was a way to remotely monitor window status or to close them. Doesn't seem to be available in the JSON API (Tesla Model S JSON API · Apiary) although I could check for random frunk openings though!

    Window Mysteriously Open

    Thanks for the link. I'll try the window reset procedure. At first I thought it might be related to a center console screen protector I installed yesterday but I can't even find a open window option anywhere. This thread on the Tesla forum says someone had a "a left side control computer...

    Window Mysteriously Open

    Well, it's a theory I suppose. My Model S never did that either, but it has shown 12V battery warnings on the console which her car never did.

    Window Mysteriously Open

    Yeah. So my wife comes back to her car after the gym and the passenger window is all the way open. In a rainstorm of course. Now the Tesla service hold time is "over an hour". So, like... WTF? She's pretty darn sure she didn't just decide to roll it all the way down and leave it that way when...

    What’s Next For Federal EV Tax Credits?

    Hmm... Maybe someone could mention to Trump that GENERAL MOTORS (& tesla) are US-American companies with American jerbs... so why should we gift our American electric car tax credit dollars to only FOREIGN automakers? That's just un-American. Also too: America.

    Very disappointing first week with Model X

    Interesting... this forum post showed up as a link on my Google news feed. Hope you get your car fixed. I had an X as a loaner awhile back and didn't notice these problems. The FWD hitting the seat sounds pretty bad, make sure you get a new seat!

    Phone as Key Issues

    Not sure if related but there was a message delivered to my wife about temporary Tesla app downtime. I think it was last night from 9 PST to ... ? Also too: not sure what changed but her phone-as-key mysteriously started working again after we returned from Italy 2 days ago. This is the...

    Phone as Key Issues

    Same here. FWIW Tesla blames Google for the borken BlueToof. To which I say... OK sure... but I'd still like to be able to get inside my car and drive it!

    Phone as Key Issues

    The Model 3 is my wife's car. Her point, and I tend to agree with her, is that its also not very safe to be in some parking structure late at night digging through your wallet trying to find the key card so you can get inside your car. The Google Pixel 1 USUALLY works immediately after...

    Phone as Key Issues

    This morning the phone "key" apparently half worked. It allowed the car to back up 15 feet, then everything stopped and it demanded the card on console. Tesla, we want a FOB. This is getting ridiculous. EDIT: Google Pixel ver 1. The ultra modern phone with the busted blue toof stack. :(

    Pictures of production Model 3s

    It's like someone asked, 'how much more black could this car be?' and the answer is 'None. None more black.' (I added the missing rear 3/4 view)

    Where are the Midnight Silvers at?

    East Coast Midnight Silver. On a slow train from CA should be here by end of the month! Has a VIN. That is all. Oh... ordered 2/25.
  18. arondaniel

    Might order my 3 soon, very begrudgingly.

    In addition to having desirable cars, Tesla also has a mission. Buy the car, buy the mission. At least to some small degree. What is the mission of Honda or others? Maximize profit and growth, I guess. That's fine but not good enough to get my money anymore.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    So I am not in favor of Trump. At all. That said, it might be possible a Trump presidency could help Tesla in one way. He says America will become "totally independent of any need to import energy from the OPEC cartel", and his stated plan to defeat ISIS is to "bomb the hell out of them" and...

    Letter to Mr. Musk from a 1-day old outdated Model S owner

    How so? IIRC, Tesla pretty much just said "Good news everyone! All cars leaving the factory as of last week have this sensor suite in them." I think the answer going forward would be better upgradability. I do hope that AP 2.0 was designed with more upgradability in mind because you know Nvidia...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    "Two things come to mind: Power (related to SCTY) and space travel." It did say "Working on Top Secret Tesla Masterplan, Part 2" though, so maybe no space stuff. Not that I'd mind SpaceX becoming the Tesla Space division. :)

    Next generation seat retrofit, pics and tinkering with old seats

    Hello, owner with original 2013 seats here. I was just quoted $5792 + labor for the "next gen" front seats. A bit spendy... but in-line with what others are seeing. For commuting distances the seats are fine. My issue is I get bad leg cramps on long drives that I don't seem to get in other...

    NV Power has a great racket: "You are buying less product than I anticipated, so therefore I must charge you more." For customer disconnect, according to the rules on the NV Energy website (Southern Nevada - Rules) they require 5 days notice. If you have time remaining on a service agreement...

    What's everyone's take on our nav system?

    @Larry "So Miss Direction was correct, but she mislead us by not displaying the traffic that she was avoiding." Yeah... apart from "the turn around and go back" thing I actually do follow Tessie's route corrections and find them useful. It has already taught me several shortcuts on my commute I...

    What's everyone's take on our nav system?

    Not sure if this was already posted but took my first long trip with the new route planner. This ain't exactly a Tesla feedback forum but for lack of knowing where else to post, here goes. First off, my trip has two major routes: I-95 or the Eastern Shore. I couldn't seem to find a way to say...

    Impressive? Shiny happy people B-roll clips, followed by spoopy music over some pretty lame animation. Not really all that impressive. Looks like a standard state representative lo budget attack ad fare.

    CBS This morning runs story on "Autopilot Abuse"

    Yes, Autopilot offers some new avenues for abuse.... but nothing quite like the potential of abuse from a 4000 pound missile piloted by a distracted, emotional and fatigued driver. Drivers with lousy reaction times even in the best of circumstances. If some idiot crawls into the back seat and...

    Discrimination at Car Dealers - Another reason for the Tesla Model

    Yes, information like how to negotiate well matters. Good studies will control for that. Like, send in two people who have the same knowledge and credit score. lo and behold, the woman or minority is offered a worse price, a worse rate, or more unnecessary repairs.

    Your help needed: "FOR" Votes for 2015 TSLA Prop 3 and 4

    Not sure if I want to vote my puny shares yes or no yet. Ideally Tesla would lead on this issue and switch to the best non-cruelty surfaces possible. Companies can and should lead. I believe Walmart, after all, said no to hormone in milk and voila... no more growth hormones in milk. That...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

    Yeah, it's depressing but another spill shouldn't surprise anyone. Spilling is in its nature and is probably essential to keep the cost of burning it reasonably low. I hope this motivates a few more people to go electric. Enough ecosystems have been destroyed.

    What Question Would You Like to Hear at the Shareholder Meeting?

    After last time, I would prefer they ask curated or up-voted questions only. The in-person questions seemed to focus on day trading and lunch dates. Very disappointing.

    Elon's demand "secret weapon" ...what is it?

    I like the free service forever idea but I'm not sure the service plans are really holding anyone back from buying. I would think a bigger concern is "how long does the battery last and how much to replace it"? Except that is not really an unknown to Tesla. I believe it lasts a lot longer...

    My vote is battery leasing too. I don't think most buyers are paying Apple $749+ cash for an unlocked iphone.

    Mercedes reportedly working on a bespoke EV architecture

    Guten abend. I don't think that credo is silly but I do see it and "The ultimate driving machine", "Vorsprung durch Teknik", etc. as a potential problem. My meaning is, German sedan buyers are not accustomed to 2nd best, and Tesla has set the bar very high. They can't be "the best" and...
