    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I am not certain how I got involved in this discussion as I responding to you when you opined on my cancellation of my Plaid order however I shall say to respond to you as I did to another member. I'm afraid your thinking and reasoning is illogical at best and convoluted at worst. If a...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    This is my last and final post. I wish everyone well and I hope that in the coming years the choices in EV will so plentiful that the merits of a purchase will be solely based on quality, performance, style, and every other metric that propels this movement forward. I also hope that Tesla...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Truth has no version, perspectives perhaps, yet truth is not subject to versions. If you cannot decipher between truth and allegiance to any person over reality, that is something you must examine within yourself.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    A true believer? Right, Elon is not God, nor do I follow other men. I do not follow anyone. I believe in the mission statement, I believe in the achievement. However I will never abdicate my obligation to critical thinking because I admire someone.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Thank you for your question and this will probably be my last post on the matter, however since you enquired, I shall answer. First of all, I believe a CEO must serve as the brand ambassador, and whilst even the most popular of figures in the public domain will have their detractors, Elon's...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I'm afraid your thinking and reasoning is illogical at best and convoluted at worst. If a policeman or prosecutor commit the very crime they are entrusted to prohibit and enforce, does that make the provision and crime less applicable to protect society? It would certainly be hypocritical and...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    High standards? Hardly, it is merely called standards. You either suffer from reading comprehension or simply fail to realise what decorum, decency, humanity, and humility are and mean! I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in my formative years. I realised during my university years that my...

    Coronavirus

    I will have to respectfully disagree. My wife is a physician and as such what she and her staff endured during this pandemic has been far more than I could ever tolerate! Every entity, group, even this forum has rules of conduct that must be adhered to in order to remain in good standing and...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Not long ago, I was one of the many whom would vigorously stand in defence of Elon Musk, through all the tribulations, verbal spats, petulant undertones, "moron" tourettes, and whatever issue of the day that would cut his ever so thin a skin. I would argue that this genius of the present was...

    Small Bit of Black and White Rubber Foam and Mice

    Whilst this has not been an issue with my previous vehicles, I recently noticed small pieces of what appears to be black and to a lesser degree white foam or rubber like material under the rear wheels of my Model S. I initially cleaned up the pieces, perplexed as to their origin, however the...

    Unsworth Vs Musk defamation trial

    There is no question that basic human instinct dictates a natural defence of ones position however I suppose my position remains that one should elevate the discourse and not engage every halfwit in a gutter fight. That said I’m looking forward to next generation Model S. Cheers

    Unsworth Vs Musk defamation trial

    I admire Elon Musk, and not for his wealth or bravado, rather he embarrassed an entire industry that for decades said it could not be done and simply did not have the gumption to try. He has also made me a great deal of money. However this was truly unseemly. First to even engage someone in...

    Tesla App: Unable to Schedule Service

    I assume no one has experienced this thus far?

    Tesla App: Unable to Schedule Service

    I not been able to schedule service via the Tesla App since Monday September 30th, 2019. Once I choose the "Schedule Service" option I receive the following error message "An error has occurred while trying to load the page". I have contacted my local Tesla Centre and they said that they were...

    Unlimited supercharging disappearing from used/cpo cars

    Late last night I first noticed this at around 2 AM, and it was confirmed by the "Preowned Agent" via email that the programme officially ended on Friday. This is both a marketing and long term business plan error. Tesla seemingly makes these decisions by the seat of its pants. Even if this was...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    I noticed just after midnight that Tesla ended ‘Free Supercharging’ on it’s used fleet without exception. Admittedly I had already soured to the idea as the search had become exhausting, yet this was the final straw for me.

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    The only obvious advantage and one that was and remains to be is the warranty that Tesla provides with its vehicles. However after nearly 3 months of searching, I can no longer justify the time spent on this fruitless search.

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    Thank you, yes, I have noticed during the last several weeks the inventory has steadily increased, and I first noticed actual photos of the vehicle listed about 3 months ago, however the listings were not standarised, thus it seems as though they are attempting to improve their listing process...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    Unless this is merely a measure to sell used Model 3 inventory evidenced by the sudden influx of some 49 vehicles when the used inventory for Model 3 had been in low single digits, this could possibly signal a longer term strategy to preserve Model S residual value. By constricting the supply...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    Thank you for your comments, to be clear, I do believe that Audi is the benchmark for interior design and fit and finish, unless one delves into the ultra luxury marques. However I was simply underwhelmed as I expected better range and performance. The motors are inefficient by comparison...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    I am a bit perplexed by the aggressive posturing, however I am not disputing the fact that the terminology has changed and that Tesla absolved themselves of the legal ramifications of the norms within a CPO environment, however providing a "used" vehicle with 4 years/50 Miles coverage or 2...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    And thank you for addressing the other theories being floated about. I certainly concur that the limited inventory probably means Model S vehicles being reassigned to expand their "loaner" vehicle fleet. Lastly, I will try to find this thread you mentioned if you indeed have a link, I would...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    That information whilst being widely disseminated is incorrect. The CPO programme still exists, whilst the construct has altered. Telsa will no longer 'refurbish' the vehicles cosmetically, yet they are mechanically repaired and brought up to their 70 point inspection standards...

    Model S CPO Unusually Low Inventory

    I have purchased 2 CPO vehicles in the last 4 years, and I have never experienced the shortage we are seeing now on Tesla's website. I recently determined to purchase a 3rd Model S and I was astonished at price discrepancies compared to just a few months ago, yet more alarming still is the...
