    What other tech stock to consider?

    As a young person who has worked for Tesla and now drives for Lyft, I can see where there is a utility in how people will compensate for driverless cars one day. The easiest way to make payment for anything these days is cash or Venmo, which PayPal owns. I also think there is venmo utility...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I see where PayPal is going public next week. They say opening at 38 with a buy up until $50 for regular chumps like me. Seeing as how the own venmo I think PayPal has big upside. I know nothing about the financials. What say you?

    I've been a stalker for over a year...now I am an owner as well

    Great Curt! How much did you spend? I'm also in the market for a used MS and am looking for a reasonable range since prices are everywhere. It doesn't help that Tesla's offers unreasonable amounts on trades. It's really of no fault of their own. They're a business and have to make money.

    Driving in the future, imagine lots of Tesla-like cars

    More pedestrians will get hit by EVs as they don't hear them coming. In the future, future, you would see less gas stations on the side of the road. Less stains on roadways, since the only fluids EVs drip is air conditioning condensation. Less mom and pop lube/tire places due to less...

    Rumor: Apple buying Tesla

    Maybe the apple stickers people put on their cars that comes with all their gizmos is a sign of things to come... Not

    Which car to buy? - New to the forum - need some opinions!

    I would get the brand new 2015 85, the way you like it. The pano adds more to the interior spatially, especially for rear seat passengers. If you ever want to put a roof rack on the car, you'll you need the pano as well since it has the bolt holes. You'll be less tempted to do acceleration...

    New Blog: Driving Range for Model S Family....

    You can leave a deposit with me. Delivery expected sometime end of Q1, more likely Q2, maybe. Can't guarantee the robes will fit and that the chants won't get better after that. :-D

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    Their confidence will be back the first time you go around the block with them in the car. It's easy to fret about delivery timing, but shlt happens when a company moves as fast as Tesla. You have the added hurdle of being in Canada when the car is built in the USA. There are plenty of inferior...

    Squeaky brakes on new P85Ds - How many have them, and what's the solution?

    High performance brakes are louder in cold climates as well. I forgot the exact reason but know this to be true. The advice offered is sound; give it some time for break in and bed the brakes. This is most folks first super car, so it's understandable to see the concern. If they are still loud...

    "Soccer moms" and other outdated idioms

    This is too funny to pass up. In my opinion, it's silly to acknowledge something as cliché simply because it is true. I think we can agree soccer moms prefer the utilitarian nature of an SUV. Hence, a soccer mom is more likely to drive a Model X. OP conveniently left out the frame of reference...

    New Blog: Driving Range for Model S Family....

    Welp, that's good news. I was in the midst of feeling the need to reply that Jerome is probably the wrong person to be contacting about the range issue; that it should be JB, CTO. Jerome doesn't seem privy to technical aspects as one would expect or it could have been included in marketing...

    P85D damaged in transit / paint issue?

    It's hard to tell the discoloration by the video but this appears to be factory defect, not transport damage A simple sanding down and respray will fix things. Apologies, since you had P85D highlighted red in your signature, I thought that was the color. White is much easier to match. The...

    Let's say thanks: Pizza for the factory employees

    Since Tesla ended up covering the pizza,everyone should treat their local SC. I would probably skip the simple carbs though. Just sayin

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    Has anybody here raised issue with a sales or delivery manager? I'd be more interested in what they have to say rather than bear (false) witness to an Elon tweet. I suspect they are closer to the truth. I wonder how much blowback there is given folks who don't have the wherewithal to visit...

    P85D damaged in transit / paint issue?

    Must be a Canada thing. Best of luck on the color match. Traditionally, red is the most difficult to paint match. I have faith Tesla and Co will make it right.

    P85D damaged in transit / paint issue?

    This happens all the time. I still can't believe 100k cars are shipped open carrier across the country. It will be worse in Q1 when winter is in full force. Either way, it seems minor. Definitely request pictures before it is fixed. As far as affecting value, collectors are the only folks...

    Great write up. Sending a PM in regards to Supra.
