...So my father in law is here and we want to take the car for a drive. I have been driving it for a while but the car won't start now. I keep turning the "on key" but no noise comes on and we both think "damn, the car is dead".
We call road-side assistance, it is good to know that someone picks up the phone and offer to drive me to the shop. He thinks I live in Silicon Valley. I say I am in ATL he says "hah that would be difficult". I wait with some muzak. I finally realize 'wait, I have no engine, the car is not supposed to make any noise'. Tommy and I go back to car, I press the peddle the car takes off. I feel like a redneck. ...
Some people trail the car on the highway to take pictures, some make V signs. I am not used to that but could get used to it really quick.
“A favorite trick here at Tesla Motors is to invite a passenger along and ask him to turn on the radio. At the precise moment we ask, we accelerate. Our passenger simply can’t sit forward enough to reach the dials."
I think tesla should publish expected highway miles. Anyone that is pushing the distance envelope should be acutely aware from the beginning that highway miles are GREATLY reduced from the EPA range. Ie. if you have the 160 mile pack do not expect more than 100 miles on the highway. 230 mile pack do not expect more than 145 miles and 300 pack do not expect more than 189 miles. This will keep the customers well imformed enough to continue to be happy with the car. And everyone's expectations will be low so that customer satisfaction will be high.
