OP is very likely asking about whether Tesla will offer a well below market interest rate on a loan on the Model S. https://www.tesla.com/ currently lists 0.99% APR which is well below market. Automakers/their financing arm offering below market rates is a form of incentive and enticement to...

Is season 5 worth watching? I've held off since season 4 was IMHO a waste of time. :( I posted at ST Disco - getting a bit better, but still kinda painful.... "I thought Disco season 3 was ok except I didn't like the resolution of what caused The Burn. Really? Kelpian on a malfunctioning...

Laying off service techs like (at about 1:10) probably didn't help w/the backlog and service times.

I think you're pretty far off on your comparison of Mexico vs. US wages. The below has some 2022 figures. Of course, there was the UAW strike recently that will make US figures higher than these...

Thieves cut cables from Tesla charging stations in Vallejo, steal inside material I'm guessing is this location.

Watched "Toyota's record earnings clouded by EV challengeーNHK WORLD-JAPAN NEWS" the other day. At around 0:13, they mentioned that Toyota had just announced its highest earnings ever and the best ever by a Japanese company.

Of course they are "real" warranty repair issues. When sold as new and functioning normally, they're not supposed to have such problems. Someone needs to fix them to make them go away, preferably for free, under warranty. I haven't had issues like that w/any of the cars (none are Tesla)...

User error yes, but I think it'd help and it illustrates the safety aspect of creep that I've posted about numerous times like at Reverse made my car go forward..., namely it providing directional cueing to the driver. Read the section I point to for more detail. FWIW, I owned a '19 Chevy Bolt...

As I've posted about this many times, I enjoyed 360 degree virtual overhead view on my '13 Leafs (SV w/premium package) from July 2013 thru mid-2021. I had two such Leafs (leased then owned). It's Around View Monitor in Nissan parlance. My former '19 Bolt Premier also had it (Surround Vision...

Numerous US BEVs already charge at "800 volts" or more. Examples: HyunKia E-GMP vehicles like Ioniq 5 and 6, EV6 Porsche Taycan Audi e-tron GT Hummer EV Lucid Air at ~3:31 he stops charging. 55.67 kWh were dispensed. It was 18 minutes from 10 to 80%. - I probably didn't watch most of this...

Didn't watch. There isn't any for the US. I've had to go over this many times (at least once here and numerous times in other places): Gen2 Wall Connector Failed - Cannot Repair or Replace. Gen2 Wall Connector Failed - Cannot Repair or Replace has a dead link but you can see a copy at Motor...

I only caught this false claim yet again... I've called him out for this before, multiple times all before 2022 (year of the above post). See below: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/advice-to-my-sister-on-tesla-purchase.186103/#post-4505320...

No, but you can look at these incidents: Lightning strike while charging a Tesla? (per So, my car was hit by lightning at the Grove City, OH supercharger..., out of service for 1.5 months) https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/should-i-unplug-during-lightning-storm.72526/page-2#post-7021163...

Thieves steal high-voltage Tesla Supercharger cables from Montrose(Houston) charging station - I came across this on YouTube.

I've seen the Mercedes EQS - Fully Electric Luxury Sedan in person and it looks fine. There's at least one that was sometimes showing up to my work. I don't recall if if I saw The Mid-Size EQE SUV at Japan Mobility Show 2023 but we don't have any of these at my work. Looks ok to me. Along...

The lessee cannot file for the Federal tax credit in this case since they don't own the car. The owner (e.g. leasing company) receives it. It's been YMMV how much (if any) the automakers pass along to the lessee in the form of a cheaper lease. In the distant past, AFAIK, Tesla passed along $0...

Don't know what plan you're on. EV2-A for EV drivers w/o separate meter for their EVSE is at https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHEDS_EV2 (Sch).pdf. See page 2. Off-peak is 35.2 cents per kWh. Rest of day depending on when ranges from 52 to 66.4 cents per kWh. That plan has...

The video in Star Trek: Voyager's Tim Russ Hilariously Explains Star Wars is apparently at least 8 years old but I hadn't heard of it nor seen it until today.

I've had several white non-Tesla cars (including one I'm driving now) and don't have such an issue.

https://www.dea.gov/factsheets/ketamine - I hadn't ever looked up the drug until someone else posted this in another forum in response to this crazy axing.

Sorry to be somewhat OT, but have others seen and/or verified all the autonomy/FSD claims at ? Folks have asked where it's from and it seems there's no answer. Some of them are definitely familiar and covered in Elon Musk Today. Some of the more recent earnings call stuff, I'm not sure about.

... Indeed. I've seen various YouTube videos from various TV stations from around the US and at least one included service center layoffs. It's not like Tesla's known for great service any longer ever since Model 3 started being pumped out in large quantities. Indeed. He's missed all his...

TIL, so I had to look for it. I see Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team reporting this. Perhaps they're trying to outsource this? I know Black & Veatch has worked with Tesla before with their US Supercharger network but I don't know about the current and recent...

Ni Ph got a boost today because of https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/29/tesla-tsla-stock-up-after-passing-hurdle-to-china-full-self-driving.html (Tesla jumps over 15% after passing key hurdle to roll out advanced driver-assistance tech in China).

Wall Street (maybe due to a short squeeze) seems bamboozled by this news: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/29/tesla-tsla-stock-up-after-passing-hurdle-to-china-full-self-driving.html. Sure, they'll have a new source of revenue now (didn't realize that "FSD" didn't exist there) and it's the world's...

Folks who experienced this and are in the US should file a safety complaint w/NHTSA at safercar.gov. If you've had the repair(s) done, then at least you can also indicate what they did to try to fix the problem(s).

Hopefully Plugshare (app and web site) are used by folks in Japan. in the US, if you use non-Tesla public charging, Plugshare is an absolute must, unless you want to end up at a place with broken or unreliable charging stations.

hiroshiy at Japan was first I've knew of. He got one in Japan before they even went on sale in the US. If he's in Tokyo, you two may not be that far apart. (I've been to Japan 7 or 8x for vacation and of course have been to Tokyo. Have been to Yokohama a few times, including in late 2023...

I stumbled across these on YouTube: I've only watched parts 2, 3 and part of 4 so far. I totally forgot that the late Joan Rivers had this show. I remember her being a guest host on Johnny Carson.

Also, keep in mind that also Germany's annual new auto sales aren't huge vs. the US and China (much lower population is part of it). Germany is now the world's 3rd largest economy, as Japan slipped to 4th. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/ataglance/2960/...

Indeed. I'm not aware of any US states that have a mandated cooling off period on new or used cars. I got so sick of people posting misinformation on this so I started these threads for people to post their sources over 10 years ago...
