My understanding is that the SEC suit was a regulatory enforcement action by the SEC and not on behalf of actual shareholders. It wasn’t a class action suit.

So it's a negative. But then again it might be a positive. Got it.

My hat's off to you @bhzmark for tackling this. This is indeed an interesting dispute but it is way over my head. I'll check back every now and then to see your progress. I ended up poking pencils into my eyes before I got through your two posts.

The point of my post was not about finding a place with ev charging. I found that easy enough on the Tesla web site. I was simply trying to give folks a heads up that even though the hotel confirmed it had a Tesla Destination charger, it wasn't helpful because it only charged at 12 amps.

I am currently on a 6,000 mile road trip. In the first week I used Tesla's site to find a hotel with a destination charger in Liberal, Kansas to bridge the supercharger gap between Clayton, New Mexico and Wichita, Kansas. Before I left on the trip I called the hotel to verify that they had a...

5 may be the magic number @SmokyPeat, what do you say to that?

Those links make it sound like EV chargers have made it to the national parks. I just spent 4 days in Great Basin National Park and there are none there. Ely Nevada is the closest town of any size - 70 miles away - and there is no supercharger in Ely. As a result, I spent a total of 7-8 hours...

That's some impressively fast charging. Given how little posting is going on today, I think you should post photos of the dog.

Ha! It didn't occur to me to check it out. I may do that the next time I'm out that way. But here is a 2/28/2021 video that actually surprised me a bit. I think subconsciously I have dismissed them from being real.

For what it is worth, I took a drive out to the Lucid factory today. I think it was about 6 months ago that I was last there. It really looks finished now. There is a nice entrance off of Thornton Road and at 3:15 pm it looked like about 300 cars in the parking lot. The parking lot had a section...

Thank you for sharing this! I found my way to Bainbridge-Ometepe Sister Islands Association and bought some coffee. Best wishes to all of you involved in this project.

TD Ameritrade will transfer your shares from your IRA to your Roth at the closing price of the stock on the day before you initiate the transfer. I did this recently and on the day I initiated the transfer I called TD on the phone and asked them to expedite the transfer. They processed the...

I received another GoFundMe email for this project today, so I added another contribution. I forwarded the email so perhaps others that I shared that email with will also donate.

And to finish off this conversation with myself, I replied to the above text, saying that I prefer to hold off for the LR RWD and asked if they had any idea when it would be available. Response: "We are still waiting for more specific info on that but we will definitely let you know once we...

OK, here is a bit of closure on the text I received. I got a reply text back this morning saying: "Taking a closer look at your order, it looks like your configuration is the Long Range Rear Wheel Dive, we currently are still working on getting that into production so it will most likely take...

I posted the text because I was surprised that no one else had already received and posted the same information. I'm not in a huge hurry to get my Y (already have a 3) so I didn't bother replying at the time. Now that I see that I'm the only one so far reporting receiving the text, as a service...

I did not reply. I'm not interested in taking delivery without more information. Instead, I went to Tesla.com and chatted with a rep. He didn't know anything.:rolleyes:

I reserved a LR RWD Model Y at the time of reveal and paid the $2500 deposit. Saturday I received a text from Tesla saying: "Tesla Update - Your Model Y order is on hold but can potentially be delivered this March! There is no better time to take home your Model Y. With Autopilot and...

You probably ought to check out the investment thread that already exists. You will find lots of folks there who have become "teslanaires" by investing in only (or almost only) TSLA. Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

I got my heads-up from @AlMc in early September. It was trading at approx. $16 then. I bought a bit but later sold half for a small loss because I didn't think it was ever going to amount to anything. :rolleyes: Was prepared to sell the other half but it keeps going up.

Thank you for the link. Just donated.

I'm glad I found this thread. I've been wanting to take a trip to Carlsbad for a while now. Donation completed.

What part of "Not an advice" did these adults not understand? :rolleyes: And since you have mentioned twice now that people "were mislead because of bad information," I don't recall anyone reporting that. Wasn't you, was it? ;)

We are all adults here, capable of evaluating posts and making our own decisions.

This comment is troubling to me, as I've been known to tell people that I would drink Elon Musk's bath water. :eek:

It may depend on what kind of phone you have. When I first got my 3 two years ago I had a Motorola Moto G phone. It didn't work well as a key for the car. My wife's iphone worked fine. I eventually gave up on the Moto G as key and went strictly with the key card. I was pretty happy with that...

Weak Long! Branded! :eek:

Done! Thanks Gene.

Here is an Insideevs article about the Chen petition. From the article: "The NHTSA has a 120-day deadline to respond to defect petitions. The agency is said to fail to comply with this deadline most of the time, but it has taken exactly 38 days to address this one. The attorney Edward C. Chen...

I doubt that anyone could be much more unsophisticated in investing than me. But I loved reading TT007's posts because of his enthusiasm and my perception of him as a nice guy (based on DaveT's interview). But I never traded on anything he said. Because I am an adult and know better than to do...

Even though Kingman isn't my favorite supercharger, it isn't so bad that I wouldn't do the trip. I make the Phoenix to Vegas trip 4-6 times a year. I have only had to wait one time, and that was for a short period. My last trip was at Christmas. On Christmas day we got there fairly early and...

My passenger would like two things: 1. Grab handle above the front passenger window; 2. Ability to save her seat adjustment profile like the driver can do.

I've driven out there twice. First time on 11/8/2019 and the second on 12/22/2019. They are definitely making some progress. The site seems huge to me. Here are some photos I took and posted in the Lucid Air Base Price $52500 thread: 12/22/2019 visit

Drove out to the factory site again yesterday, 12/22/2019. They have made some progress since November 8, but they better get a wiggle on if they want to start producing cars here in late 2020. Looks like some trusses are being stored on site.

Kingman supercharger wasn't too bad. Was there around 9 am and even though all 6 slots were full, I didn't have to wait. Got to Vegas and went to the High Roller. The app said 11 of 24 stalls were available. Of the 11 available, there were only 4-5 people charging. When we left at about 10:45 am...

As I left I noticed that two cars had gone without me noticing. That explains why I got 98 kW. All in all it was a good day at the Kingman supercharger.

I’m at the supercharger now (9:15 am thanksgiving day and all 6 spaces filled. But I’m getting 98 kW so no complaints.:D

I'm sure it is because of your use of the phrase "I have a huge crush on my car!" When you said that I realized that is exactly how I feel about my model 3, and I continue to say it every chance I get. Thank you.

Rotated my tires today and always looking for an excuse to take a drive, decided to drive out to Casa Grande to see the Lucid factory site. It is big. There was quite a bit of activity. Not a beehive like the Tesla China factory, but there were people working and lots of earth movers parked on...

I make the trip from Phx to Vegas 4-5 times per year and Kingman is my least favorite supercharger. I once made it all the way to the Henderson superchargers (love those!) and bypassed Kingman, but my wife doesn't really like cutting it that close - arriving with 15 miles on the battery - so we...

I get the concept. And if it turns out that my bird strike noise is simply that, I'll be gobsmacked. :)

I wonder if there are two different noises. I have one noise that I call the bird strike. It does make me jump as it sounds like something just hit my car. It is like a small explosion. After this noise manifested, I started to hear another one that sounded more like the "TeslaBjorn thunk" when...

I listened to the sound that TeslaBjorn recorded and that someone posted above. The sound I'm hearing is MUCH louder and sounds like it comes from above. It is possible that it is a noise that is generated at the floor and "sounds" like it is coming from above. I have previously driven in high...

At the risk of carrying on a conversation with myself, here is another update. I just received a call from Bellevue Service (even though I am now in Southern Utah, on my way home). I had a long conversation with a very nice woman who first explained that they did not put 180 (the invoice...

Well, this is disappointing. For anyone following this thread, I dropped my car off at the Bellevue Service Center while on my way to Vancouver Canada (continued my trip in my friends' car) so that they could fix the "floor flexing" problem. Tonight I received an invoice from Tesla (paid in full...

Today I stopped in at the Bellevue Service Center and described the problem. At first the guy thought I had an X and he was ambivalent about whether he could help. But as he took my details he realized I had a 3 and he said, "Oh yeah. This is a known problem. We "may" be able to help you out."...

The first time we heard the sound was on the way to Twin Falls Idaho. Probably around 4,000 ft. Later at the Pendleton supercharger, which is 1200 ft. elevation. You may be right about the oil-canning.

Thank you for the reply. I am a couple hundred miles from the closest SC, so I will call them this morning. Interestingly though, when I opened the driver side door this morning I heard a "pop" sound and then a thunk, which sounded like it came from the floor area. Both of those sounds are...

I am currently on a road trip from Phoenix to Vancouver, BC. On the afternoon of day 3, in Idaho, at about 80 mph, we heard a loud sound that sounded just like a bird slamming into a window. We thought something fell on our glass roof, but there was no contact. It was very unnerving. We...
