No, if they had known, they would have already fixed it.
No, the early production reference was regarding the suspension/ ride quality and wind noise.
He didn't say that. So this implication/ line of question has no basis.

GM KNEW the problem and let it go ... they were shitheads ... I certainly don't expect that from Tesla. Are you implying that it's not possible to have people in management that can understand this needs to be addressed fully and people need to be left with more answers than questions. Once again, people are saying that it's just discovered and Tesla need to address this BUT Elon's tweet suggests it's simply a software bug that can be "tweaked" .... I'm left with questions.

His response seemed perfectly clear to me. He acknowledged CR's findings. He stated that the company's own testing had different results. He offered another car for a retest. He stated Tesla's willingness to fix any problem that is found. Being typed out in a formal response on company letterhead sent out via certified mail wouldn't change what he stated. I don't get it.

I would expect a FORMAL response will be coming. Give them time to figure out what is going on. And BTW, I have over double your investment and I am not worried. Tesla always makes things right in the end. Compared to what Tesla has already surmounted, this is no big deal.

Just curious...what do you folks consider to be a FORMAL response? Radio ad? TV interview? Article in the New York Times? A response is a response. Sorry, I really don't get what the difference is.

Needs a new TPS cover sheet.
I've made the worst mistake possible yesterday. I had bought 100 shares @ $291. I was thinking it broke $290 with huge volume, it should start to go from here. Well well well, now I know I can call the top perfectly.
If your long you will be fine.
I just got back from Chicago where our family of 4 rented a Model 3 (MSM, EAP, 19”, VIN 4xxx) for 4 days. What TradingInvest said in their excellent post is exactly what my experience was. My prior experience with Tesla was with the Model S: one overnight test drive and a 6 day rental in FLA last Christmas break.
My only addition to TradingInvest’s comments is the experience of the wipers. I had a lot of experience with the wipers last weekend! When it rained, the Auto setting was perfect. When it was a super heavy mist or a large splotch of water fell directly into my line of sight from an overpass during a break in the rain, the auto wipers would not engage (or at least not quick enough for my liking). This necessitated a quick tap on the wiper/turn signal stalk. This took care of the issue easily. This also popped up the wiper menu in the card section (bottom left corner) of the screen. A couple of times in the heavy mist I chose to turn the wipers on to speed 1 rather than repeatedly tapping the wiper stalk every 30 seconds or so. No issue because the car was smart enough to anticipate my possible needs and bring that menu item up for me.
I was completely accustomed to the interface and had everything configured the way I liked it by day 2. And I’m 50 next month. All those car shoppers younger than I will find this interface to be very intuitive. Tesla has designed a brilliant interface that will continue to improve because you can do that when (1) the controls are on a screen (i.e. more malleable than physical controls), (2) you plan to issue upgrades that allow one to control as much by voice as possible, and (3) you issue regular over-the-air upgrades to owners.
Soon there’ll be enough Tesla’s out there that people will be able to see the FUD for what it is. Then the FUDsters will carry less and less weight in people’s minds, like it already does for the majority of us here. When that day comes, I wouldn’t want to be holding on to too much equity in the traditional ICE manufacturer’s companies. “Hello? Phone’s for you - it’s Nokia calling...”

Ohh kay.
"Early Production" was not referring to the brake test, but to the wind noise they reported:
You're welcome.

David gave $100M to MIT and for the last few years all you've heard from them was anti-EV anti-renewables drivel. Yesterday's headlines included this clean coal nonsense and an explanation of why rooftop solar is too expensive. Amazing and sad what a few dollars can do to once respectable institutions. MIT for god's sake.

Correct, they have more misgivings with the car as is than just the brakes. Tesla brand is strong enough to overcome a missing recommendation from CR. Model S also didn't suffer from a negative review.

The obvious bull response should be, "So what?" If Tesla is more profitable selling LR versions and doesn't run out of orders, as a shareholder, I don't have a problem with that.

I think it is going to be this way until we hit 5000 cars a week. Probably July sometime. The FUD gets thicker as the inevitability of the company's success becomes more evident.

They will also claim Tesla has burned through the backlog of expensive reservations.
Gee. I’m getting good at imitating a short
...if you ignore all those folks patiently waiting to buy a P for $78k.
See, we really don't need shorts here at TMC because we can carry on like this perfectly fine without them.
