Also this controller might work better as the "brain" is installed up under the dash and the manual override and display can be placed in another location. This way you can still hard mount which is a lot safer, and use Velcro or tape for the other components. Hopkins InSIGHT Flex-Mount Trailer...

If you don't want to screw into the interior. Make sure you use very strong double sided tape. You do not want this controller to be dislodged from an impact. I wouldn't suggest Velcro, and in aviation we use high quality velcro a lot. 3M command hooks come with a sticky removable strip that...

Ya leaving home fully charged can negatively effect your whole trip. Hitting that first supercharger closer to zero can have a trickle down effect for every other stop. Assuming you route is entirely supercharger supported.

Wait... A Model X sighting in Victoria? And I missed it?

Highly recommend a sawzall with a metal blade, you will make quick work of removing damaged pieces, works exceptionally well due to aluminum construction of the tesla and can handle steel aswell. Also your hands tend to be further away from the sprung load when it decides to release. You can...

If it's only 15km/h and you weren't in a school zone or some other low speed area, your insurance shouldn't move. Unless you have a few others under your belt. Now if you lived in BC where the Gov also sells insurance, not to mention the 0.05 alcohol limit. or if they claim you were street...

Only because Tesla likes to release features after the fact. What if the rear seats are electric, they were having software problems until they realized the seats had a manufacturing defect. After the recall is done, software update allows touchscreen or seat button activation. Might be an...

In a severe accident they might just have to write the Tesla off. With the truck, they might write the driver off too.

Concerning the mentioned quotes only $100-$200 above other older vehicles. People think the premium is based on repairing the car, that's not the case. Cars are cheep to repair, In comparisons to humans. The f150 isn't 5 star rated, and the model S (qoute comparisons) doesn't flip. Basically...

Actually Porsche had a massive safety recall years ago because apparently spoilers are functional. Porsche dealers where installing only the spoiler for the aero kits and not the air dams. The cars where flying off the highways when wet, because of the down force exerted on the rear. Without...

Not a poor connection. The tanker truck is filling a large underground tank that was mostly vapor, the vapor was being displaced out the breather vent. Probably around 20,000 volumetric liters. Times that by the number of gas stations around the world and the frequency of supply refills. Add to...

Sounds like your guys election results

Try newspaper, will turbo charge your results.

Might pay more in taxes

Long but supercharger supported. And your Dollar works well towards our Canadian Paso's

Speed very much effects towing efficiency, if you towed at 55(90hm/h) (legal towing speed limit in many jurisdictions and usually tire speed rating) I doubt you would come close to using 2x the energy.

It's very possible yours needed hands on TLC. I think Elon ment that the first flawless Model X was produced that could just be handed over to the customer. Basically the robots where calibrated to the point of proper gap alignments and such.

Sharing is a communal effort. The biker was breaking the law, speeding and violating the traffic signal. The car was speeding and a bone head. Fine specimens of stereotypes.

As someone who maintains flight controls. The steering wheel will not be replaced by another form of manual input any time soon. Replace with autopilot but not replaced with another form of mechanical.

30 comments and yet not one is about the fact that this motorcycle drive felt above the law? Dude was acting like an @$$, speed limits apply to all motorized vehicles. I'm not talking about lane splitting which is legal is some jurisdictions. Yes the Tesla driver is a worthless specimen of...

16 years of driving, not a single traffic violation. And that's driving/towing in every province, territory, and almost every state in North America.

Two thing come to mind: 1) Elon roughly stated AP Miles vs non AP miles, 50% less likely to have an accident causing air bag deployment. He said "Autopilot" yet majority of the Tesla's on the road have the equipment standard for crash avoidance, so this is significant data. 2) Many commenters...

1) lithium is one of the most common elements on earth. 2) it's extremely easy to mine as if found in salt flats 3) a very small percentage of the battery is comprised of lithium so the battery pack cost isn't effected enough by Lithium commodity price fluctuations to have sizable significants

People need to really move past the Nicad era. Plug it in, the computer does maintaining your batteries for you.

That new car smell also causes your windows to fog up from the inside. The smell leaves a residue build up on the interior glass causing moisture particals to collect into droplets. HEPA filter does clean internal air as demonstrated by Tesla

Trailer I'm interested in: Airstream Aliner/chalet Bigfoot Escape/scamp Prolite Taylor coach Livin lite But we cherish our 73 Boler

I would really like to come over and see this after I'm done helping with the wildfires.

Oh we did, a select few disregarded things they didn't want to hear. When the Sky is falling that fast, it's hard to hear the truth for some.

It's been mentioned before, they no longer use blanks. Although this may be incorrect.

Apparently your new to around here and to Elon's ways. He leads by example and has a very long history of demonstrating just that. Not the first car he has inspected by hand on the assembly line. And not the first time he has let executives go on the 11 hour. sorry but Tesla didn't fall out of...

Working at his primary job? Over engineer? Maybe Should never had built? The market disagrees with you. letting unfinished products roll out the door and get delivered? This is what boils Elon's and anyone else's blood. If it isn't right, make it right, that was the guys job and after a...

Compared to other battery upgrades Tesla offers?

While watching the videos out of the Fort McMurray evacuations, I'm pretty much sold on a HEPA filter in my next Tesla purchase.

Milwaukee m18 Impact gun. That's another awesome piece of Li-ion engineering.

If Tesla was going to provide a different type of control, it wouldn't be in the mass produced model 3. This is one of the few items I could ever imagine that they would trickle down. The Model 3 is going to be Geared towards everyone being a passenger, not primarily around the driver. Who ever...

It was behind mobile wall panel, wheel were chalked, and no battery, lights weren't on.

Preheat car, or get auto presenting doors for your climate. Non tesla specific issue. But Tesla at least has options others don't.

The Mini seemed even faster, it vanished before your eyes. The wire filiments never really bothered me. They were so suddel and only visible when your eyes focus one the glass of the windshield instead of through the windshield. That was with my 28yr old eyes though. Probably no more then three...

Especially true in mountain driving.

Let's put this into perspective, If I replaced, repaired or disassembled a flight control on a Helicopter or Plane. I'm legally obligated to send the Aircraft for a Test flight before returning to service. How would you like it if I skipped that step? If they grab lunch while carrying out the...

I plain on getting the current blue being offered by Tesla on the S/X But I really want a true Metallic Cooper color, like a brand new Penny... or two. Just my 2¢ :)

I'm hopping they incorporate electric defrost in the Windshield like Mini Cooper does. One of the best features in the Mini that I missed

Tesla doesn't have a history in limiting

I plan on the Winter package as being a bonus feature. The model S and X come with heated front seats already. Which is my requirement. Heated wipers and steering wheel are easily wanted features (and I believe wash nozzles?) Now the heating of seats if offsetting cabin temperature can greatly...

Also to get full use of amperage on the Sun country 80A chargers you need to press the start button. Your car will automatically charge but at a lower rate if you don't press the button.

that assuming the Model S and X Stagnat with no refreshes. With battery prices coming down, Tesla can include more tech and features for the same price point. There isn't a lack of demand to warrant a price reduction. history disagrees with you point a view. 75D and P90D wouldn't excite if that...

I have always preferred cloth, and after our last car, the wife votes cloth as well.

Possibly Tesla didn't want to reveal the the steering wheel from the Model X prototype is slated for production. Could place the speed in one of the screens.

Need any local knowledge in Victoria just let me know.

120(75) is the highest posted speed limit where I live, general traffic maintains 130(80). So 80 isn't considered fast for many people in many jurisdictions. BUT it's not your car, it's Tesla's
