I use RV camps for my MS for some overnight stays as well. I'd guess the main issue with a Powerwall in an RV would be heat when the RV is not in use (and perhaps cold in the winter). Don't know if it's still true, but there used to be a relatively low max temperature (40C or something).
I don't believe S and X purchasers will stand for a dinky 15" screen. It would sure put me off.
V9 mainly. And the removal of the rear centre console in the X.
The incentive is great but I'd be surprised if the number of Tesla's sold is more than 2-3k per year. They'll still be relatively expensive. All extra volume is great but we are talking a couple of days worth of tesla production each year. The rural is in reference to the large number of utes purchased compared to Europe-that was just my shorthand.
Agreed. Most places in North America have wrecked any transit system (there are exceptions). However, North America is a big part of the success of Tesla, so what happens there is very relevant.
Oil receives far more handouts than EV owners. I think there's a typo here.
For those few who can live with the range of a five year old Leaf.
Plus the fact that even though the design is 7 "years" old the first few years were low volume so actual total number of vehicles on the road are still relatively low. Plus there was the front end change, and of course all the other tweaks and improvements.
Air BNB, that one website where people just swap homes etc.
It's possible. Really depends on the patterns of people and how smart the system is. Say I take a taxi to work in the AM, does that taxi stay busy downtown moving people around, or does it go back to the suburbs only to have to come back and get me to go home?
I certainly understand the impulse. My P3D is "my car" and I don't want strangers messing it up. But...if I could Robotaxi it and make it so that I have a free Performance Model 3, heck yeah I'd do that. It goes from "This car costs me $1500 a month" to "Hey, you can use his car for free". I think people will embrace the latter once they really process it. That used to mean something very different.
I know what you mean though. I think a lot of young people think of stuff as a burden. A simpler streamlined life, more forager then farmer. The idea of car sharing, or making some money off of their car, versus just paying out will be appealing. I’m a young boomer (old), but work from home. I’d rent my car out to reduce the cost of ownership. I need it one or two days a week. Providing a rush hour only cab service when rates are highest would mean I wouldn’t miss the car at all and even making 20 to 30 dollars a day means free car.
Since when is there a law about number of years before a style refresh? Tesla does not follow auto company rules. If they did they would advertise and not innovate. They are constantly updating the tech and not just at new year models. The car is still the most stylistic of any sedan out there. New tech for other auto companies is more buttons and complicated buttons and controls. Nobody simplifies it like tesla and the style still not duplicated by others. Would like modelS vents to be changed to the model3 style and functionality though
Bears often try to say the design is old and tired. Nonsense of course.
