    Morons... what should I do with them?

    When I liked in Silicon Valley in the 80's, this kind of thing was happening. Ignore them.

    Just look at where Tesla now plans to put SC! Any complaints I have will be solved soon.

    If you were on the fence about solar now is the time to pull the trigger

    It is pretty bogus to support an argument with a set of chat room comments. You have something valid? You can use The Google and in 5 minutes you would be fairly up to speed.

    If you were on the fence about solar now is the time to pull the trigger

    I'm in Illinois with cheap electric rates, but maybe the best pro solar programs from the state. I got 3 estimates, 2 were about the same, 1 was $10k higher. Didn't do the Powerwalls, no fair counting $11k of powerwalls comparing prices. Payback is less the 7 years, percentage return on my money...

    90D AP1 -> 100D AP2 for $17k. Yay or nay?

    Same acceleration, you didn't mention needing the longer range, AP1 is better today, you already ate the new car depreciation once, and you want to do it again? If you have a spare $17k, I'm on the board of a couple of nonprofits that would put that money to good use.

    Many states require headlights on, if running wipers. Good safety feature.

    VisibleTesla: How Do I Dissociate or Disconnect?

    I would change my Tesla password. But, I wouldn't use a third party app, because sooner or later someone will hack them.

    Supercharger - Little Rock, AR

    170 miles from Memphis Supercharger? My S90D will make that easily. Will they need to put one in between, or is that a slow drive down 40 for a 60?

    Tesla CPO Process - Communication Frustration?

    it is interesting, you order the CPO car, and it isn't ready to go today. Tesla has to iron it out, then ship it to where you are, and some line employee gets the blame? I bought new, but doesn't this seem broken? Like a take it up with Elon kind of problem? If the car was ready, before it...

    Garage Door Close - drop down menu too small

    I use the auto open feature, but I'm afraid of the auto close. But the drop down menu isn't big enough, which nicely auto presents. My finger isn't a mouse, need a bigger target.

    Help - Ordered today but didn't get premium package. Is it worth it?

    I like it, and would get it again. On a dark night, the lit door handles are nice for example. The power lift gate works well, but I'm amazed people are so in love with it, but my other car is a pickup. It makes the car more special to me.

    Supercharger - Little Rock, AR

    I could find out this info with one call, in my little town. Find someone at city hall that is in construction services, like a code inspector, call and ask. If Tesla is building in town, they will know.

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    If Tesla had put on slower charging for locals, do you think our friends in California might have mentioned it on social media? The crowd will respond quickly and colorfully, if and when that happens. Lol

    Reliability of maps - are many of you also using your mobile phone maps as backup?

    Predictions: Model S 2017 luxury improvements

    I would like a place to store napkins, a drawer instead of the hole in the dash(when I hit it, my sun glass fly out of it), and larger sun visors.

    How about installing a bumper on the corner of your trailer? All tech always fails, sooner or later. It will happen again.

    Faraday will be dead on the water like most expected...

    If you want to break an industry wide open, it is helpful to be 10 years ahead. Tough going when you are a startup, with no magic tech, and you are years behind VW and Porsche. Show up with a better that is twice as good today, you have a shot.

    Next generation 2170 cell battery packs

    If they say a new, better battery is coming at the same price, in 2 years, what will happen to sales? They will just drop it via twitter someday, without notice.

    Cold Weather Package

    winter package vs pano roof is really the question? Plenty of battery or plugged, so you can heat the car on both ends of commute? Pano roof.

    blinding reflections from brushed aluminum interior

    The roads around Chicago are terrible. Last time I drove through there headed north, shook the fillings right out of my head. Lol. That freeze/thaw cycle, and poor state government are a nasty combo.

    More than 400V systems, where do things go sour?

    I'm a software guy, so be gentle with my stupidity. Isn't this about what happens to the batteries? We know they can engineer a system, and deliver that level of power, given time and enough money. It is a known problem. Isn't the interesting problem is what happens to the batteries, over...

    Phone dock with new cars.

    They preinstalled the lightening connector, micro USB in box. It isn't that great a feature, just connects a USB to the phone, out of eyesight.

    I'm skeptical: financial viability of Tesla-exclusive rideshare service

    Going to San Francisco, not renting a car. Will Uber or Taxi. I think Tesla's idea for ride sharing will work, at least in the city. Uber, without the human driver? That makes sense.

    Is direct sale really a better model than dealerships?

    I have been through a number of factory recalls on ICE over the years. 4 or 5 times, my car came back not working quite right. It turns out the dealer doesn't make any money doing recall work, so they like to introduce electric problems, like making your cruise control not work by unplugging...

    Hard time deciding between Model S and Model X

    In answer to the OP - wait a year, then buy a Model X. They will have the build quality up by then, your 7 year old will be too big for rear facing seats. It doesn't look as good, or drive as good as a Model S, but higher driving position and interior layout that matches your life is worth a...

    Nav System Routing, sometimes random? Shortest by default?

    I'm leaving the Miner, MO Supercharger, heading to Jonesboro, AR. The route is simple, you go 55, to 412 and follow the signs to Jonesboro. The system decides to route me on the farm roads, instead of 2 hours, that way is 2.5 hours plus. WTH? You have to be out of your mind to route someone...

    in Production 90d - Enhanced AP + F-S-Driving Capability?

    Now let's think what that means? All the features that are in AP 1.0, that aren't in AP 2.0? They will be added on the fly. Then, they will start adding the rest of the features. Until the regulators clear them, it can't park without a person in the car, but you know that demo video, "take...

    How much does Home Charging installation cost?

    If you are lucky, you have room in your box for the new breaker, and a chase from the box to your garage (after all, it has power), you can pull the new wire through. I would put the plug into the garage and not screw around with outside, given a reasonably priced choice. If I needed to...

    Can we now expect a 360° "birdview" parking camera ?

    I think you can expect to get dropped at the door and have the car park itself? Tesla says you don't need bird's eye. The argument that other manufacturers have better tech then Tesla is over. Lol

    Tesla as only car (poll)

    I drive the MS if there are Superchargers that support it. Will drive the ICE Friday because Arkensas doesn't have chargers that will allow me to move fast enough for what we want to do. Add Memphis and Little Rock, I'm in the MS on road trips.
