Sadly, another tragedy ... Tour bus catches fire in Taiwan, killing 26 but where, I mean WHERE, is the brand of the bus? Nowhere. MCI? Setra? Prevost? and on and on ... Had this been a Tesla bus, it would have been headlines: T3sla bus catches f1re in Taiwan, killing 26 (Don't want...

I wonder if the NHSTA will be investigating... Driver collides with tree while playing Pokemon Go | Fox News

I have got to figure out an easy way to embed images from my computer...

Has anyone seen this trailer yet?

At one time, I believe it was before TMC changed it's forum software, I was able to PM another member. For the life of me, I can't find the way to do that now. Can someone please jolt down a step by step instruction? Thanks much.

For soon-to-be owners of any Tesla, this is quite apropos.. Tesla Model 3 – Limited Edition "My Other Car Is A Reservation" t-shirt.

Somehow these reports always get suppressed. Maybe they make local news before they're hushed up by the fanboys. It's high time NHTSA did a systematic investigation. This car smashes right into the side of another vehicle despite an alarm and warning lights. Supposedly the car's safety...

Hi there! I'm conducting research on driving behaviors. I'm looking for someone that would allow my coworker and I to ride along with you for about 30 mins in Tesla. We would be observing, taking notes and asking you a few questions as you drive. We can meet you at a location of your choice...

I love the Tesla Motors Club logo. Has anybody thought about making hats and or t-shirts with it?

Johnny Cab autopilot v4, as long as your not running for your life.

Hi gang. I saw an ad for a contest yesterday. It was to win a trip to the Monterey car show and appear on the show, "Jay Leno's Garage". I entered by tweeting a pic of myself and my Tesla Model S 85 '13 in Hawaii and noted that the pic was from the end of the first ever 50 state tour in an...

Hello everyone, Recently my father (a retired software engineer for HP) passed away and left me his Tesla Model S P85. I will be picking up the car next week and making the drive across the country using the Super Charger Network as a tribute to my father, technology, and the pursuit of a...

A Transformers enthusiast commissioned a comic book cover for a new Autobot based on the Model S.

I can't believe Celgene named it Otezla

Since I'm a new member here I've been browsing the site eagerly waiting for my Model 3. One thing I've enjoyed doing is researching supercharger locations and reading up on ones that are opening. It seems to be a fun game of searching for new locations and documenting the progress of them being...

Oh man, this looks amazing. You could also make this about what Tesla and we (its supporters of clean energy/transportation) are going through right now.

The Panasonic stock is in the Tank even though Elon stated they would be the only supplier for Model 3 batteries. Income is flat, cashflow looks good. Anyone done a through poking at the stock? It's rated as an AVOID but so is TSLA.

I am the kind of guy that doesn't get excited about many things. Apparently, when I do, my wife says that I go "overboard." Remember, those are her words not mine. Well I have been waiting some time now for vehicle to arrive, and in that time I have come up with some ideas to "dress up" the...

Night Shift is definitely one of the more appealing features to be added into iOS 9.3. Certain switched on users have already been experiencing this level of functionality on iOS by using the very popular f.lux app that originally made a name for itself in the jailbreak world. Apple has never...

Led Zeppelin Appear in Court for Colorful Start of 'Stairway' Trial As off-topic as it goes, but interesting if you're old enough to remember these guys!;) Love the Wildings vs. Westeros High Court comment. How pervasive is GoT nowadays... BTW love that riff!

I'm starting to get really irked at the growing influence corporations have over our social network. The way corporations permeate their way through our network of friends. People we interact with online, and sometimes in real life. Some of it at first glance seems rather benign like the Tesla...

So I had a sort of specific question, but maybe I should open this up to a general discussion of how a short sale works. It's a little confusing to folks who are not deeply into markets. The idea is kind of a reverse investment, where you "sell" your stock for the market price without having...

Title says it all. If there is at least a small handful of people interested, I'll set one up and invite people! I know I've left it a bit late, but you'd still have over 24 hours to set up your squads.

I understand that a state representative from Fremont has entered a bill into the state legislature that would allow an out-of-state buyer of a Tesla to take delivery of the car, get a temporary license paper plate and have up to 30 days to drive the car out of state without paying sales tax...

So I tried ordering custom license plate frame that read " POOR MAN'S TESLA" to put on my Nissan Leaf as a joke. Order went through. Few hours later got an email that my order is canceled due to: Replied asking if they censored use of word "Tesla". Their reply: So there you have it. Looks...

Elon Musk and Axl Rose have the timeliness of a Swiss Watch by comparison: It’s been over a decade since Valve first promised Half-Life 2: Episode 3 2006 was before the first iPhone and before President Obama and the Tesla Roadster. SpaceX has landed multiple Falcon 9 rockets and Model X...

Well, at least now we know which side of the fence "The Donald" sits in regards to energy regulation, pollution control and global warming. May he never set foot in the White House. Make sure he doesn't have a chance to destroy all that we work so hard for near and dear to our hearts...

Has Tesla developed any protection against an EMP blast? If one occurs naturally or terrorist we would have tin cans. Sorry of this sounds paranoid but hoping there is some shielding.

Just learned of an outfit called Legion Solar that is running a Kickstarter: Legion Solar - A Better Way to Energy Independence They're claiming $2/Watt costs. Seems. . . hard to believe. I am curious what folks who've studied solar more than I have (but I'm always keeping my eye out for...

Patent US7053576 of Paulo & Alexandra Correa describes conversion of massless energy to conventional electrical energy in a device that could be placed in the truck space of an electric car. There would be no need to plug into the grid to charge. Tesla can incorporate this feature before or...

Summon allows for setting the stopping distance from the front wall to the front of the car. Why isn't there such a thing for when I drive the car into the garage. I would like the car to stop at 15" from the wall every time I pull into the garage. As it is now I need to creep up to the limit...

Being foreign I follow US politics but don't know the minutiae so was wondering when Trump is president (or is that IF....?), will he be pro-EV or anti-EV? Is he an 'oil man' or independently minded? Presidential decrees could influence the way EVs develop.... How does TMC see a Trump-led USA?

I was taking a trip to Tahoe and someone at the Roseville SC did not close their door completely They walked away but the door handles did not retract I thought about opening the door and closing it for them but I don't want them to get the wrong idea

Forget all those videos showing robots building Teslas inside the Fremont factory. This is video proof that Teslas are still individually and laboriously handmade: Now we know why they hired that guy from Audi to help them ramp up production! Or maybe this is the "token of appreciation" for...

I read a lot of tech websites and know more about computers and tech than the vast majority of my family and friends. Despite this, I have one of the oldest computers among those in use in my circles, still use an iPhone 5, and don't own a Kindle, GoPro, Apple Watch, Oculus, or FitBit. I...
