Perhaps. I just recall AIDriver or one of the CA testers stating that their drives have gotten boring. My few Wisconsin drives so far have been anything but that.

I just got the Beta in the “100 Score” wave. I am located in the Midwest. It functions pretty poorly, and far differently than most of the videos I’ve been watching on YouTube. I think Elon recently tweeted that functionality in locations outside of California would improve as more data...

It looks like I may need to sleep in my MY next week at a party. Not having much time to prepare, I'm looking for some help-- 1. I'm 6'3". Should I fit? 2. Will a Thermarest or similar basic camping pad be sufficient? Or should I plan for something more robust? 3. I don't expect camp mode...

It would be interesting to see one of the Beta testers recreate a video from a Beta 1 drive where the car had moderate difficulty and rerun the route on Beta 10, and post both videos.

Can someone point me to a good jack to keep in the trunk to help with a roadside tire issue? I seem to recall some people recommend a jack with a rubber point for the car to sit on. Thanks.

Here's the one I ordered. I'll let you know how it goes after this weekend's trip. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SQF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BM0oFb4T67V9Q

I think I answered my own question. Based on the calculator below, voltage drop at 50 ft would be 1.9V and at 100 ft would be 3.8V. That means that charging rate would be 1,417w vs 1,394w, assuming all else equal. That's negligible, which suggests that one longer cord makes more sense, even...

I am planning to pick up a 12 gauge extension cord for some destination trickle charging at 12A/120V. I dont know what the outlet situation will be at the destination this weekend or at other destinations in the future. I am debating whether to get one 50' cord, or both a 25' and a 50' cord...

I'm trying to get a better sense of energy usage. A few questions-- I've previously read that the historical usage statistics on the Energy tab only tracks energy used to power the motors, but ignores energy used to power AC etc. Is this correct? If so, do the projections adjust over time on...

Thanks everyone for all the help on this board. Tesla messed up my loan paperwork, but I took it in stride after everything I've read here about their lack of organization in some respects. Everything worked out fine in the end. Delivery went well all in all. The car is amazing. I went...

So if you use touchless delivery, and you notice some issues that need fixing once you get home but before the 100 mi / 72 hour deadline, how do you get a "due bill" to get those things fixed?

I must be missing a couple brain cells -- I cannot find how to chat with a Tesla rep. Can someone provide the link?

I am scheduled for pickup this Saturday. Earlier this week, my contact at Tesla via text was kind enough to adjust the price to reflect the recent decrease. However, they also changed the loan amount so that it now equals the gross price of the car (around $61k). After trade in and $2500...

Thank you both. Very helpful.

I have touchless delivery scheduled for this Saturday in Highland Park, IL. Tesla confirmed via text that they will update my pricing to reflect the price reduction, but other than that there's not a lot of info coming from Tesla. A few questions on the process: 1. Tesla originally connected...
