Ha ha. I hadn't even noticed. Right. Yup the thread came up in a search result. What I found last night after I pulled into my garage was a very fine trail of fine dirt left by the car. No doubt because I drove several miles last night over a dry dirt road. The trail looks like what you might...

Hello. I've got a '23 M3P. I recently had a flat fixed at Schwab and had reason to believe that the lift was done incorrectly, so I took a peak at the underside when I got home. I found what appeared to be two popped plastic pins at the front of the (plastic) rear motor cover where it interfaces...

I've been following TSLA and SpaceX since 2013. I've never seen a bump in the stock that could in any way be associated with a successful SpaceX launch or landing, including the very first successful F9 landing on a drone ship. Sure, a successful integrated Starship flight will be huge for...

what's with the SP nosedive just now?

Most have prolly noticed by now, but us in the cheap seats using marketwatch to track the stock: that baby is waaay on the fritz, and rather maliciously in fact. Keeps taunting me with 309+ from an 2hrs or so back. Bad marketwatch.

I haven't seen this new Elon interview from Norway posted yet. Apologies if this is redundant.

Yup. I never set out on a road trip without the mobile connector, although, the only bit that I have ever needed (in an unplanned charging situation) is the J1772 adapter. When I've actually used it, the alternative would have been being stranded somewhere.

If we are talking about 3 flashing reds on a Gen 2 Mobile Connector this just may be the most helpful post yet in this thread. Thank you!

Right. Got it. Thanks for sharing, Elon. ☹️

I'll be very interested to hear what your electrician finds. Let me know, eh? Thanks!

It's actually going on three years now since I encountered this problem and I see that I never posted the followup. In short, we never did figure out the problem. After a number of unhelpful calls to Tesla Service someone pointed out a phone number dedicated to charging issues. A call to that...

I don't know. It seems to me that a better way to tax unrealized gains would be to tax loans that are taken out against unrealized gains. It might not generate as much revenue from a few billionaires in a single pop, but it would probably get a lot more wealthy individuals paying their fair...

After a day of "sporty" driving out in the "rur" of the Palouse, the score finally showed up. 93, dinged for "agressive turning". I'm gonna have to up my game. I know I can be more agressive than that : /

Another data point: I've got the latest ios app download and still no safety score, but the FSD button presented in the car and clicking it gave me the "in the queue" response, so pretty sure that the vehicle and/or mothership knows the score and the info displayed on the app is just informational.
