"Analyst Adam Jonas estimates that currently Tesla makes about 80 percent of the electric vehicles in the U.S." "Tesla's domination of the electric vehicle market is "unsustainable" and will soon be disrupted by start-up Rivian, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said Monday." How does one get...

Apparently there's a lot of interest in the Kona. I decided to "pre-order" one for my wife (which turned out NOT to be an actual pre-order) and got an error that the storage was full. I sure hope Tesla can hurry up and get the Y to market. I'm afraid the import SUVs with 250 miles of range are...

Almost everybody that posts on this site wants Tesla to win the battle against big oil, the legacy car manufacturers, the dealership associations, the people who spread FUD, the state govts and politicians who illegally ban Tesla, and all the haters in general. I used to spend tons of time on...

I noticed that the most common cars for sale on here are the 70 and 75 kwh cars (both RWD and Ds). Why is that? Are people dissatisfied with the range? I have always been curious of people who want to buy the lower range cars - especially when they say they have no need for the additional...

I have read that people have been able to retrofit the nextgen seats into older cars. I also understand that the premium seat has the adjustable headrest which would be non-working on any car pre-premium seats. However, does anyone know if the seats will actually bolt in? And if the other...

For 5 years, I have dreamed of owning a Tesla. For 5 years, I looked at EVERY single Tesla for sale on TMC, ebay, autotrader, cl, and others. I was doubting that I would ever be able to get a Tesla in the price range I was willing to pay. Then, with a stroke of luck, I came across a great deal...

I haven't received an invite from Tesla to configure my M3, but I went to my account and suddenly it told me it was ready to be configured. I was really shocked it happened so quickly. But, I kind of want to wait for AWD to start simply because of the few extra miles of range it will provide. I...

I'm about to get my cyclone wheels power-coated. Was going to get grey, but then I saw a set for sale that is black, very much a glass finish. It would be much easier logistically to buy a set already done and just sell mine, but I haven't seen any in grey (for a reasonable price anyway). What...

I was just thinking that Tesla should allow owners who want to wait on the performance or AWD model to "give" their reservations to a non-owner who wants a car now - without losing a reservation spot for the car they want in the future. There are a lot of pissed of non-owners right now and this...

Now that I am a Tesla owner, I want to reserve an M3. I went to Tesla's web page, signed into my account, and clicked on Model 3, and then "Reserve Yours". However, it is asking me for my name and information. I would have thought that since I was signed into my account, it would know that...

I have creep turned off so the car does not roll when releasing the brakes after putting it in gear. That's what I want. However, I thought that it was also supposed to bring the car to a dead stop when letting off the accelerator and only using regen to stop the car. My car will slow to a 1 or...

I think I'm going to have to start a "Questions about my Model S" thread and just ask everything there because, MAN, there is a LOT you can do with this car - I can't believe how much I have learned in 2 days, but still, there is so much! Anyway, I thought I read that with the app, you could...

If you want to buy the extended warranty, can you do it through your account online? Or do you have to call them?

So, what do I need to check on this car? Growing up, my daddy always said to check the oil because that would be a good indication of how the person takes care of the car. I don't think that's gonna work tomorrow. :D - What should I check? - Is there any way to see how many times the battery...

For those of you who own a 2013-15 car, does Tesla still do any updates? Not just AP1, but for the car in general?

2014 Model S 85 Blue Late December build AP1 Tech Package Air Suspension Panoramic Roof Power Liftgate Parking Sensors Leather Seats (not nextgen) Premium Interior Package (I think this is lighting, but I was only told "premium interior package" - ???) Power Folding Mirrors I have a deposit on...

If you were buying a Model S for the first time and could only chose one due to budget, would you want a car with AP and no performance, or would the performance be more important? I am finally at the point of buying my first Tesla and I'm so torn as to what I should buy. Granted, I'd love to...

I was just told by a Tesla service center that the VIN 62,xxx car I am looking at buying only has the "driver assist" hardware - and not AP1 hardware. He says the AP1 hardware can be retrofitted. As much as an expert as I thought I was on all things Tesla (from a non-owner perspective), I never...

For all of you out there that have experience with AP1 and 2, can you tell me if it is a bad idea to buy an AP1 car versus waiting until an AP2 2.0 car comes into my budget? I came across what I think is a great deal on a '14 Model S with AP1. I put down a deposit, but it is so small that I am...

Mods - having watched this thread for many years now, there is a common theme - new posters come on there, list their car for sale, and disappear forever, never answering questions or giving updates on the status of the car. My first recommendation would be to set a minimum # of posts in order...

I see so many people saying their car is rare or a unicorn. For example, many people think they should get more money for their car because it is a green P85+ car with AP1. Problem is, there is a reason it is is rare. It means that very few people wanted a green car when the P85+ cars with AP1...

Man, I have been waiting for a Tesla to come into my price range for 4 years now. I am OH so close, but my wife needs a new car BADLY. If I don't find a good deal on a Tesla in a few days, I'm gong to have to break down and buy a new ICE car - and I swore I had bought my last ICE car the very...

It's been 2.5 years since we did this the first time. I'm sure I don't have to tell most of you how good the supercharge.info site is. But, what many people don't realize is that the site is not run by a company, or a group of people. No, it is only ur fellow Tesla lover and TMS member...

Like $9.99 or $14.99. I know I would cough up 10 bucks for a good feed. And imagine how bad that would piss off the Musk/tesla haters if like 10 million people subscribed and put $100 million bucks in Tesla's pockets. Oh my, that would be so awesome!

I thought I heard a while back that Elon said an upgrade would be made available to upgrade the older 60s to a 75. This is interesting to me because I have found a super good deal on a 60 - almost no miles on it, and loaded otherwise. But, in the long term, I need the extra range. Has anyone...

With Tesla now offering 50-80k mile cars for $40-45k (with a 2 year, 100k mile warranty), it's going to be tough for people selling their 50k+ mileage cars for much above $35k. I guess Tesla is trying to shift some of the M3 demand to a used MS. Smart on Tesla's part, but not real good for the...

I recall in March 2016 that Musk said Tesla would double the number of Superchargers by the end of 2017. "By the end of next year, we will double the number of Superchargers and quadruple the number of Destination Chargers," Musk said at the Model 3 unveiling event on March 31. Tesla's...

Who can see what's wrong with this ad? compensation: Competitive Pay + Benefits employment type: full-time There's a lot happening at SolarCity, a Tesla Company Are you interested in a new opportunity to work with cutting edge technology? We're looking for State Licensed Journeymen...

When I looked about 2 weeks ago, they had 159. Today, I checked and they have around 250. So obviously a ton of trade-ins recently. I'm thinking this will cause a significant drop in the price of the old standard (non dual drive) S85s. Already, they are priced in the low 50's. I think with the...

I have been patiently looking for a used Model S for 2 years now. Well, I really should say that I have been researching used S's and waiting for the price to fall into what I'm willing to spend on a vehicle. With that said, the prices are finally getting to the point where I can get serious...

My neighbor just called me and said he saw an X and 3 Model S's all in a row headed up I-95 from Florida (he saw them in Georgia). To boot, he said everyone of them was driven by a beautiful lady!! He wasn't sure which he wanted to look at the most - the Tesla's or the ladies!!

So other than the people who could never let themselves dislike anything Tesla does, is everyone else pretty much convinced that the Falcon Wing Doors are a bust and it's time to cut the losses and move on? I have to wonder if the marketing folks (and all the VPs) at Tesla aren't telling Musk...

I monitor the X threads to get a pulse on how the X roll-out is progressing. I am not only interested as a fan of Tesla, but I also make investment decisions on how the company is doing - more than just charts and financials. This roll-out and the costs associated with the X will not affect...

We all know what a beautifully stunning car the Model S is. And, let's face it, there have been a gazillion sedans since the beginning of time. To design something that classy, sexy, and beautiful was nothing short of amazing. Then consider that the Model S was designed by the same person that...

I was trying to convince my neighbor to buy a Model S. I explained to him that the range for the 85D is around 285 miles per charge. He was impressed. So we went to Tesla's web page to let him look at some of the options. We came across the section that lets you chose your speed, temperature...

I haven't been a regular on this forum so I don't know if this has been brought up before. If so, I apologize. Given the passion and almost cult like following that Tesla has, I was thinking that Tesla should allow people to make donations to the SuperCharger effort. These donations could be...
