I’m a relatively new owner who is a regular here on tmc. Lately there has been so much controversy over autopilot and what the video and Elon promised it would be, that I went back to watch old videos for fun. I’ve discovered that this is not unique. I found videos on supercharging and the...

After the WSJ article was released, I went looking for the thread where we were discussing what Tesla and Elon actually knew when they released AP2 hardware. I can't find it, so maybe it's been removed? Obviously, there are now first-hand accounts that Elon knew that 'Full Self Driving' was a...

Tesla engineers are reportedly jumping ship because they don’t believe Autopilot 2.0 hardware can meet the fully self-driving promise that Elon Musk proudly touts. The Wall Street Journal says Sterling Anderson, previously the Autopilot director, decided to leave Tesla in December in part...

"We're able to get usually the A team at the A supplier for Model 3. It's rare that we're not able to get that. Whereas, particularly for Model S and to some degree for Model X, when we were trying to get suppliers for Model S, a lot of the top-tier suppliers wouldn't even work with us. They...

My Road & Track magazine came today. It did not particularly interest me because it was a special issue devoted to Japanese cars. But I paged through it anyway. The last page is always the monthly "Far Afield" column by the irrepressible Bob Lutz. His topic was how "Mark Fields, Ford's...

http://www.fairfutureattesla.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2017/07/Tesla-Board-Members-Open-Letter.pdf My guess is that the UAW is trying to ramp up labor pressure in the critical period of getting Model 3 production off the ground. I also suspect that the "committee" speaks for very few...

Does anyone know when they brought the prices down? Just saw the Model S has come down £1500 and EAP down by £300. Gutted as only ordered my Model S 75 3 weeks ago and really stretching myself. These reductions would have brought my monthly payments down by £22 per month which would have made a...

Hello all: Now that the Model 3 is in production, I thought it might be interesting to see what Japanese owners/reservation holders think. I ordered 3/31/16 (U.S. date) and see early 2019 for delivery of any model I order. Patience for us, I see, is necessary. The car looks great. Since I...

I'm starting this thread to provide a jumping off point from some great new info provided by @verygreen The coolest thing I learned from attending model 3 delivery (in the referral program Any additional info out there anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

When I first saw Elon's presentation on the Boring Tunnels and Car Elevators, I loved every part of it but one. I had real issues with how the elevators integrated in with the city streets. The solution presented seemed half baked at best. Here are my ideas for improving it.

Trying to sort things out. There is a story of Mark Fields bringing a fleet of Lincoln Navigators to a meeting at Google. It was a near final step in an agreement for Google to close a deal to provide self driving technology to Ford. Mr. Fields, and his posse, were excited about how Wall Street...

I'm a big Elon Musk fan. I even hugged him once in a bar. But he has said things about the Model 3 that have been deceptive, given last night's event. Let's list some of them. Please contribute if you know of others! Model 3 reveal part 2, which is going to be closer to production, will take...

I'm not a scientist nor engineer but with the huge roll out of Model 3, the future of autonomous driving and considering the current state of global turmoil wouldn't this make total sense for Elon's next venture: "Missile Command Co."? This is how it would work: Once full driving autonomy is...

I'll admit to be very disappointed tonight. After paying $5000 for my S75 battery upgrade, I assumed a 3 battery upgrade would be about the same cost. I also thought EAP and FSD prices would be reduced for all Teslas as soon as 3 came into production, but Electrek says that's not happening. I...

Burn. Zing. Zowie. Elon Musk says Mark Zuckerberg's understanding of AI is 'limited' I don't know why but I find the back and forth subtle twitter burns by these two genius egomaniac billionaires to be quite hilarious.

From a resource availability and neutral cost perspective, do you think Elon could build out a 90% renewable Western Interconnection within 6 years and the whole country within 12? Assuming we gave over total control of the grid and all policy while guaranteeing roughly the same $/kWh revenue...
