Sorry you did not get the white interior. It’s stunning. The exterior color is beautiful. Enjoy.

Well, very sorry you opted to ignore the warnings provided by the car’s technology. You could indeed have crashed the car. The most important data bit you mentioned was about the 12 Volt battery. The battery is a key component of the Tesla and without it, with a faulty/failing unit, or any...

The next few years will tell but ordinarily speaking the US market for smallish vehicles is very poor. The statistics were enough for VW not to bring the ID3 to the US. The Model 3 is too small for many customers that are, or will be, choosing the Model Y. That size Tesla is hitting the right...

Please be mindful of speed limits and for safety’s sake, there a setting to limit the max speed of the car. Far too many cars have been totaled and too many killed/injured in high speed crashes. I understand your excitement and joy of ownership of a superior technology vehicle. However, it’s...

OH MD, you must be aware that equipment assembly requires parts. These are either procured or created. To procure requires a lot of steps and to create requires engineering, toiling and materials. It takes time. That’s as fast as humanly possible. If anyone can create things quickly it is Tesla...

I urge restraint and disciplined responses. Young guys with high HP cars have a tendency to crash their old technology chassis cars, specially Ford Mustangs, drag racing and u could be held accountable. Not worth the thrill. Please consider advanced driver’s training courses to understand tire...

Hi. There are two issues at CVG short term parking. First it’s the number, only 4. The second issue is there are L1 units. To charge for 8 hours yields little power to EVs and no one should unplug an EV unless the panel indicates charging is complete. For my $$, I park offsite that offers 6 or...

Is this “vampire drain” a myth? I have a Nissan Leaf and have left for a 10 day trip, car unplugged at home. The range was the same. I know Tesla EVs are more complex but to drain a 75 kWh battery on let’s say 2 weeks seems impossible. What is possible is the 12 volt battery losing charge due to...

I detect a larger issue than a car selection issue. You seem concerned as to your son’s driving safety. Sorry but all cars are inherently unsafe as engineers can only do so much. In effect, cars are engineered to pass a test. Beyond those parameter, well, there cannot be “standards.” The focus...

Sadly, the ancient 12 Volt battery technology has not been replaced and it should. On ICE vehicles even the battery icon purpose is not known by owners. Most, don't read the car manual. In an EV this battery is a weak link and, even worse, any issues, like yours, can be puzzling. Glad it was...

Well, I am wondering why you still drive a Tesla! Not surprisingly, a few other S/X owners have had serious issues with their cars as well. But failure of the company? Hardly. Sorry about your issues and I hope they are resolved soon. Good luck.

As a retired commercial pilot this crash reminds me of the first crash of an Airbus A-320, a fully modern computer controlled plane designed to minimize the most common of pilot mistakes. In short, the pilot violated many rules and the engineering saved all from crash injuries. This driver's...

Congratulations on figuring this out but past the title the reality is that a private citizen has zero use of this mode. By design, bio weapons are invisible and air filtration systems that can deal with the virus cannot work on cars. Still, extra filtration is welcomed in our increasing...

Procedures, steps, fact finding are parts of NTSB more in concert with ships, trains, planes than cars and buses. Anyone paying attention when driving knows drivers take chances, more often than not subconsciously, as part of habit patterns. Many depend on the other driver to participate in the...

Well said. I have to agree and still my financial advisors, as many have said since the stick was sub $100, do not recommend Tesla stock. Talk about an outlier company that sets its own rules! At a recent EV meet one person brought a Roadster upgraded in battery and interior. Sharp looking. Then...

I dream of a Tesla Model 3 as I push a 2011 Nissan LEAF an average of 60 miles max. While this range meets 90% of my needs thanks to DC Fast Charging, if I could have 100 mile true range, I could sell one ICE car. The 37 miles may get you were you never planned to go. That being said, the...
