    Forget the truck (please), can we talk about that trainwreck of a reveal?

    Then why demo it live? You would assume they tried this 10 times before the live reveal.

    Forget the truck (please), can we talk about that trainwreck of a reveal?

    What? The Mach E showed a decent exterior with a beautiful interior. We didn't even see the interior of the cybertruck. No one cares, except drug lords, if the glass is unbreakable. The Mach E is a car most people would buy. The Cybertruck is only for extreme niche fanboys. Go read Reddit...

    Teams is what they are hoping will work. I just got off a Teams conference with a colleague in Tokyo and 25% of the time I couldn't hear him so they have a long way to go. I was in Tokyo 3 weeks ago, got home and now if the issue we are having isn't resolved soon they want me back there a week...

    Reducing noise and keeping the door sills clean

    I did this today to our 3. Not sure if it is actually quieter but closing the doors sounds much better. It is worth it for just that IMO.

    DIY front mud/splash guards

    Thanks for this information. Is it safe to drill with no chance of hitting anything bad? I haven't inspected the plastic liner to see what is behind it. Thanks

    If they total it hopefully you can get a new one before the end of the month. That way you get the tax credit again.

    Somewhat OT but this week is car week on Price is Right. I watched yesterday and was hoping they would have a Tesla. Very cool that they had one today. They should have an X in the showcase showdown.

    Somewhat OT but I typically for years have gone to Yahoo for finance news (old habit) but the constant TSLA hate is irritating. Where should I go for balanced financial news covering all companies? I do want negative when TSLA messes up but the FUD makes me want to stop giving Yahoo clicks. TIA.

    And they are being parroted all over the Internet. On a tech forum I've seen people say they are holding off on buying because they are now scared. Tesla needs PR to correct crap like this. "No, that is not what Elon said" and correct them. Of course that probably won't get much press but it...

    I know of two people that are holding off on buying a Tesla in Illinois because of this. I'm sure it will be negotiated down to a realistic rate, but they are being cautious. Anecdotal but I'm sure it is having an affect on sales. I wrote to all of the members on the transportation committee...

    No audio after using reverse?

    Try doing nothing and see if it changes on its own. It seems that in reverse it is quiet, then when we go into drive it fades back to the old volume level. My daughter joked that it does it so you can concentrate on driving.

    We had this issue but a reboot of the screen has fixed it. They need to reboot the car after every software update. I don’t understand why they don’t do that.

    Sentry Keeper- free Windows software to manage your Sentry videos

    "The software will automatically detect the 1st removeable drive with TeslaCam videos." This isn't working for me. I have a 6 bay external NAS and I plugged in our 128 GB external USB hard drive. May I suggest that you add the ability to select the drive letter? That would fix this issue.

    I live in the Chicago suburbs and in the last year we have had 6 solar roofs installed on our block and I’d bet they are all Sunrun.

    Another new service center: David Kenney on Twitter They maybe should have mentioned that they are fixing the service issue on the last call??? That is one thing that holds some people back from buying. This company needs to communicate better.

    I actually asked when we bought our 3 in Chicago if they had ever sold a 3 as a present to a graduate and they have, to college grads. For kids in college, as you stated, an EV would not work. Plus it would sit all day doing nothing sitting next to a 1999 Camry and would probably get damaged...

    My 2019 SR+ will sometimes do that. They need to fix it or explain it because with “guests” in the car it looks amateurish. When driving people are amazed at how much more you can see by quickly glancing at the screen.

    Garage necessary for DIY Ceramic Coating?

    I used two coats of GYEON quartz Cloth MOHS and it took two days to fully dry. After 24 hours if I touched the car it would leave a thumb print. I love the results. I can wipe down the car in one minute and it is shiny and looks like I just spent an hour washing it.

    All local inventory is GONE

    If inventory is 0 that is a great thing for Tesla. If cars are sitting and not selling then demand is soft. Or people just don't want the cars as configured. In Chicago most of ours that were in stock were black.
