Supercharger demand is going to increase a lot over the next few years, even in places like Billings. I really like this layout, a station on each end of town for through-travel and one in the city for folks visiting the town itself. Now if we could just get a station or two up north, maybe...

Charged today, a little strange that the hotel seems to be trying to claim the chargers for their guests.

My wife feels it definitely helped her allergies when we had the S, and has missed it in the 3, so I'm glad to hear it will be in our new Y. The button itself is just for "Max Cleaning", the HEPA filters are working all the time.

It can be both. In fact it often is.

It makes much more sense for Tesla to increase or decrease the cut they take from the Tesla Network then it would be to make a 2-tiered pricing structure. You'd have a huge incentive to cheat the system, Tesla would have to put significant energy into policing these tiers, there would be false...

I think the used car market takes care of this issue. If FSD is the primary reason people of the future want to buy a used Tesla then used Teslas that lack FSD will be discounted by almost the full FSD price compared to used cars that have it.

That was a year ago. :)

Local corruption is bipartisan.

Based on the returns of hedge funds it is unlikely that they have a lot more information than we do. Frankly their continuing existence is amazing, but then again we've known that actively managed mutual funds are generally terrible for years and they still exist.

My 2011 Leaf has this feature. Honestly not sure what took Tesla so long here. Edit: Arguably the Leaf timer is still superior as it can set two separate timers.

If anyone's interested in a Solar Roof pricing competitiveness data point, I've posted my bids over in the solar roof thread.

Here's a data-point on pricing, my roof was totaled this summer in a hail storm and we got bids on a replacement roof earlier this year. Bids are from a reputable local company. 30 Composition: $13,607 Metal Standing Seam: $26,379 Tesla Solar Roof (11.1kW): $48,519 Tesla After 2020 Incentives...

I did. After a big hail storm this summer we need a new roof. Looked into metal roofs for extra hail protection but they seem no better then normal shingles- even if the metal is structurally sound after hail it can look terrible and insurance won't cover that. With an insurance check and...

Man it must be a slow news day. "Guys, please stop talking about health care right after I get in a last word on the subject."

So they should have figured out how to ramp up their first mass market car AND made sure that line was future proof too? I think the Tesla team is pretty amazing but there are limits...
