    Rivian Vs Tesla

    Wow this stream is amazing... All they nay sayers... you know what you sound like all the ICER's who said the same *sugar* about TESLA when they first started. As early adopters of TESLA there were no service stations, there was not a charging network etc etc... If you are true to Tesla and...

    Tesla, are they snakes or dumber than a brick?

    um i think you got it completely backwards, or don't understand what i wrote... I said there are incompetent people that you sometimes have to deal with, but to judge a company based on that one or two morons, like the originator of this thread is doing, is foolish. I have had great dealings...

    Tesla, are they snakes or dumber than a brick?

    well keep fighting it, good luck, every company has low level lackeys that are morons, hell even the higher ups can be morons. why would tesla be any different. what do you expect for low paying jobs? have you never encountered incompetence in anything else in your life? I could write books...

    Warranty coverage suddenly changed

    are you sure it said 100k miles and not "UP TO" 100k miles.... whcih is what thy typically gave for used cars... the old warranty for used was 4 years 50k miles (added to the miles on the OD when you bought it) for instance my car had 28k miles on it, so the 4 year 50k miles went to 78k miles...

    Service Records

    you should get an email invoice of what they did... but it sure is not detailed at all, and they always seem reluctant to give you any details as to work performed. certainly anything that they did for a previous owner... which I understand not giving details of previous owner, but telling...

    Buyer Beware Used Tesla

    Nice pick of the "hoover"... former Air crew or Single Anchor master race? There has been a lot of talk about this battery cap thing or what ever they did... to me its underhanded and seems to be more of a CYA, in the form of not wanting to handle warranty claims for th batteries... but I...

    6 Years - never heard this

    Well to be fair I have had this happen as well. (2013 ms85) some sort of deep sleep or start up software bug. earlier this week in fact. the car would not respond to anything. both screens dead. it took about 15 minutes for the car to wake up, and i tried soft reboot and hard reboot. seems...

    This Chargepoint is close to my house-Worthy?

    Insurance company claims no value to a new battery and other items

    did the warranty on the battery get extended past 2023 (original 8 year warranty)? is it in writing? if the answer is no, then it did not add value to the car. even if it is brand new.. if it fails in 2024 for what ever reason, the out of pocket would be the same whether it was 4 years old...

    Information about UV Blocking for Tinted Windows

    there is built in UVA in the glass already, specifically the Windshield blocks 100% UVA, but the side windows do not necessarily. Hence why your auto tinting eyeglasses don't tint. Great information! Keith

    Electrify America Fast Chargers - Huh?

    So based on this you paid about 29 cents per KW about 7 cents more than TESLA... from what i have read i find it uprisings that you are averaging 350 watts per mile for the ipace... can you provide any more actual data on your average use? that suggests its more efficent than the X, which...

    What battery failure looks like

    last week I went from 220 miles at 90% to now 200@ 90%, without a software update. 100% was 252, now its 218... yet remotely tesla says its perfectly fine... it happened overnight... not over a month or 2. seems like a small cell of 3-5kw has gone bad, does that seem logical ?

    3 + Y Pics Overlaid From Various Parts of The Car

    that's a really cool way to compare, however it seems a little off to me, i doubt the wheel base is actually different, that would add complexity to the build process and doesn't streamline assembly lines. the skateboard should be the same, and throw different body on it.
