Oh, so just because he has a ‘performance’ model he is allowed to drive like a maniac.

That’s the whole point of buying a performance!Oh, so just because he has a ‘performance’ model he is allowed to drive like a maniac.

I was kidding, earlier. I didnt notice that you had the perf model.
I used to drive very fast in my S60 when new. My first tires went after 15K miles. Since then, I’m more grandma, but still manage to replace tires every 25K.
However, I don’t like to launch my car at every start. Or maybe Tesla has gotten me used to a new reality where jackrabbit starts are normal. 
EDIT: my lifetime average in my 3 is just 235 Wh / mile. Most days it is 220.I am amazed your tires have lasted more than 43K miles.
Back to the original programming.

You have RWD which makes this easy.
Distributed wear across three sets of tires. So not that impressive.
I do try to avoid scrabbling those tires on the pavement like Elon trying to get out of the Twitter deal, though. (Best I can come up with to stay on topic. )

265? Wow, that’s where your issue is. I wanted to go 245 on mine, but chickened out because I care about that hallowed 220wh/mi number..My lifetime average is 315

I'm basically Mad Max then. 365Wh/mi on my P3D. Granted, I have larger rear tires now with 275/30s on the rear. Same tires as you PS4Ss.
Now that twitter purchase seems a done deal, I just want to share my $0.02 as a TSLA shareholder.
The purchase, although not exactly the most popular thing among here is super significant.
Think of how and why Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, it’s all about narrative influence. With Elon at helm att Twitter, you can bet the narrative would stay more center rather than left or right. And that already changes a lot.
Many people nowadays are easily influenced when it comes to important decisions. Many turned to a more progressive or extreme left (or right) because their point of information is heavily skewed toward a certain direction.
With the ability to more or less adjust the flow of information, Elon has become a giant that even Bezos can only dream of.
It might sound a bit devilish. But I think it’s time for someone to keep a perspective instead of opinion bias of certain parties or group of people.

Wasn't taking steps to eliminate various forms of narrative influence the repeatedly stated purpose of buying Twitter?
Slightly off topic, other than the overhang lifting- but funny nonetheless:
Also quite the interesting tidbit from Karen about the media ignoring the Wright brothers first flights. My father grew up in Dayton OH, and his father worked at Wright Patterson AFB. I was raised on stories of the Wright brothers bicycle shop and their early experiments in aeronautics, yet somehow this information had eluded me. Fascinating.

Oh Elon please don't reply to this Wall Street Silver *sugar* we almost made it thru Twitter overhang no need to get deep into Chinese political parody
Personal View: It is actually pretty funny
Ahh, problem people with the wrong perspective. And so it begins.
Ironically, the ultimate way to keep narrative freedom is to impose a narrative influence in place.
Either way, I just wanted to continue with my post on Twitter's purchase. I was typing on my phone while waiting for kiddo to finish his class and let's just say that as a person reaching the 40s, typing on the phone isn't my forte.
Elon has said many times that he wants X to be the everything app. And I believe many mentioned that he's taking WeChat as an inspiration.
For those who aren't familiar with how dominant WeChat is in Chinese citizen's life... I am going to give a few clues on what X is going to do if WeChat is the inspiration.
WeChat can connect directly to your bank account, acting as a payment solution that costs little to no fees. Not sure what US is doing, but Canada has recently allowed merchants to add fees to accept credit card to cover the CC fees. And to be honest, there's absolutely no reason for credit card to charge any fees to process payment as the actual transactional cost via network is little to nothing.
So, I'm going to guess that X is going to do a revival with what it originally did, but sans credit card companies and instead a credit system of their own (working with banks, just like how it's your bank who issues you your CC), or simply acting as an e-wallet. But it's more than that. WeChat, and consequently X, as it's taking inspiration, allows certain API access to facilitate everything from subscription, user account, payment, business card transfer, IDs... and everything you can imagine that goes into your wallet. And this is what I truly believe where the "everything app" comes from.
Many might think, where does X make money then? It's still data. Think how Google and Meta make "guesses" with your browsing history and online behavior, X will have a direct access on consumption data. Given enough data, X can get to the source of what you actually spend your money on. No more guesses or whatever, but a direct look at how, where, and how much you spend on anything.
Then, given access on what you get connected with, as X would basically serves as your digital passport on the WWW, combined with your spending data, X can probably know you better than your mom does.
Edit: misclicked on post before finishing...
And where does Tesla tie into all this? X gets all the data (soft), TSLA does all the manufacturing (hard)... they will be able to come up with products that entice to more customers than those customers even realize.
Isn't what Apple Pay and Google Pay already do? I use Apple Pay extensively now.Ironically, the ultimate way to keep narrative freedom is to impose a narrative influence in place.

I’m sure MSM articles will come out saying that Twitter wants to sell your data.
