We have awful construction, totally nuts pedestrians/scooters/skateboards/wheel things/you name it, bad traffic, people and commercial vehicles stopping... it just does an absolutely amazing job. Having said that... They've cracked the first really big complicated problem of robotics ... and...

I believe minor windshield divots and very small cracks are repaired with transparent resins. It should not be a big deal. Has anyone had this done by Tesla? What was cost/ time? Would it make sense save money to have it done 3rd party?

That's the point - I don't go to mammoth for skiing. I go to Lee Vining for climbing. Ya, it's more than 6 hours in winter, but OMG the drive is GORGEOUS. Not just around mono lake, but the Carson valley region is quite beautiful. -TPC

Thanks for reminding us about our brethren across the world. Solidarity in fighting climate change with EVs, a world problem for all living things on earth! Solidarity in getting Tesla to replace every last gas station with SCs, a problem for Tesla owners and anyone with compatible connectors...

OMG - I had no idea. Thanks so much for this. (Though it's a little crazy to have two in one town a couple blocks from each other, one really terrible and the other good.)

OK, first I have to thank you big time because I was not aware there were V3 chargers down the road from the awful ones. THANKS AGAIN! However, ... If I am only doing stuff at LV and north, that adds 60 miles of wasted driving every time I want more juice to tool around the area from my base...

In the UK forum there is a forum there is a post "Worst and Best Superchargers". We might just hope that Tesla would see one for the US and occasionally act on it??? Maybe someone could make this a sticky topic? Here's my kudos and complaints in CA----------- To be fair, many SCs are very...

Summary: ***We really need a set of good, modern 250 kW (no sharing) chargers in Lee Vining, CA***. The chargers in the region are terrible, and this is a very remote place, with no other real options, very long distances between the terrible chargers, yet, this is a very popular recreation...

No one's gonna say that AK is small. But to be fair, San Francisco to Moab is 967 mi, and that was basically a pandemic right of passage. ( @#)$^@(*#&$^ me because I didn't get my MY until long after.) It's much farther to Yellowstone, I believe. Also, consider drives in just one lil' 'ol...

Hey, thanks so much for your info on camping in the winter. I sleep in my MYLR AWD all the time. My partner and I sleep in real sleeping bags, and these are comfortable only in the 50's or 40's F. So, our problem is that the lowest temp you can set (60F? I forget) is waaaay above that. I think...

OK, then isn't the conclusion here that in cold climates, ride share companies, and especially the rental agencies!, should tell the rental drivers to get an LR AWD only? Isn't it really the fault of the rental agencies for selling the drivers on a cheap solution they shouldn't offer in...

Here's a Canadian driving around at night at -35 to -40 (C I suppose, but down there there's not much difference between C and F) going to not just superchargers, but to public chargers. They all work fine. What's the problem with charging EVs in the winter, eh? Faster than thawing your...

I have no doubt that all the teslas were bricked, and their owners are currently in the morgue defrosting! The guy here who *claims* to be driving long distances up to ski hills in Maine at the same temperature, with no problems, is probably a tree-hugger, faking it. (The picture was probably...

So LFPs do worse in winter? I confirmed that with a quick google, and I had *never* heard of that before. Thanks! The article I actually read was poor, and kind of implied that new CATL LFPs charge faster than NMC batteries in ideal temps. Is that true? Previous to this post, I had...

So WHAT THE HECK ***IS*** the story with the "Great Chicago Winter 24 Tesla Mass Fail"? BEV haters, especially Fox "news", were laughing 'til they wet their pants... and reported ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the way of facts or details. The only actual information I got from any of those reports was...
