Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Sandy Munro that suggested Elon/Tesla add a heat pump in the Model Y at the very beginning when he got an early version? So it wasn't really a problem they had to have, but now they do....

Probably not. That's part of the point. Bad press has a lasting effect.
True, he's mostly focused on right to repair for all products. Tesla hasn't been very good on that front either.

Heat pump is more efficient, but it has to work correctly.
I hope we can move this conversation to another thread as well...
I mean, I just saw some Tesla news on Twitter and thought it would be of interest to some here, so I posted it. I did not have any deeper insights to add than what was apparent from the tweet.
High voltage + flammable batteries + all controlled by complicated software..what can possibility go wrong when trying to fix it yourself? I'm sure this is what Tesla is hoping more of, electrocuted people and burning cars due to hack job repairs in the news .
One of 2M? Willing to bet my experience is more the norm than his? And with that, we have a firmware update. Back to our normal programming now.

Sure, let's promote the idea that EV's are more dangerous and complex than ICE vehicles. Many people have taken apart and repaired Tesla's with no official training, no electrocutions have resulted. Sorry, I don't want Tesla to be Apple.

Theres nothing wrong with the heatpump itself as far as we know.
its also not like tesla has washed their has of the problem either its likely their top priority thing right now.

Have to admit when I was considering which restaurant chain would be at the forefront of having EV chargers this wasn't my first guess...

Solar EV charging scheme raises $6.2 million in funding, coming soon to a San Francisco Taco Bell first, then 70 more!

Agreed on both counts. But investors are sticking their head in the sand if they think this kind of thing doesn’t affect people’s decision to buy cars. In Canada right now it is everywhere on social media, and even the local TV news... constantly.
I’m glad Elon stepped up and addressed it himself. Owners will do damage control over the next few months and try and explain that it’s not all cars etc etc. But we even have family members offering us rides in cold weather right now. (Our car has resistive heat and is working fine).

It does make plenty of sense actually.Have to admit when I was considering which restaurant chain would be at the forefront of having EV chargers this wasn't my first guess...

Oh no not the D word again…
Unless this would turn out to be an expensive recall, (which is unlikely so far), I don’t see any reason investor should worry about this.
From the WSJ article (not the CNBC or other articles about the WSJ article):
”At the SEC, the attorney had interviewed Mr. Musk during the agency’s investigation of the Tesla chief executive’s 2018 tweet claiming, wrongly, to have secured funding to potentially take the electric-vehicle maker private.”
This is absolutely standard procedure in Alaska's winters for all diesel-powered vehicles; most with gas engines do likewise. From the picture, this appears to be a gas enigne; it certainly is no Tesla.

I never considered that anyone could mistake it for a Tesla.
