You mean some like Hurricane Sandy?? Unfortunately I am afraid it will take more than one or even 3

4680’s could go into the 3 effectively dropping the price 15-20% by getting the tax credit back. That would make a difference

I ALWAYS carry the Tesla Mobile connector with me and quality 15’ extension cord. My son, my In-laws and many hotels/VRBO’s do not have chargers but nearly everyone has 120v outlets. At 50 miles a night it is not great, but often just enough to make the trip worry free. PS I also carry the...

As with many people I was quite disappointed in the Q1 P&D numbers. So, it got me to thinking how could Tesla increase demand other than dropping prices. I am looking at low-cost options. As we have found dropping prices hurts margins, tarnishes Tesla’s “luxury” image and hurts us owners by...

I have and early 2018 with Enhanced Autopilot, not FSD. I have not gotten the free month trial at V11.1 (2024.8.9). Can I really upgrade to FSD for $2000 now as the app says or will I need to come in for a computer and camera upgrade that I hear could be $1500 more? With no people to talk to...

I have an early 2018, and no FSD trial yet. Do I need to upgrade to hardware 3.0 or better first and is so what is the cost for the camera and computer upgrades? Thank you

No sound logic and this is what Hyundai did to break into the U.S. Market with their 100,000 mile warranty. Another low cost thing I wish they would add is V2H by adding a few 120v or even a 240v outlet so one could power home essentials if the grid were down. Add value for little cost.

There are a lot that could be cut from a Model 3 starting with size as it is still on the large size for most sedans. Think Corolla or Civic. Then basic audio, no rear screen no rear seat heaters. Possibly cloth seats. Smaller tires steel rims….. the biggest advantage I see is getting a car...

True with net metering there is little to no ROI with batteries. And typically the round trip efficiency is worse than the stated efficiency. Often as low as 80%. If you want or need backup or can arbitrage time of use that helps. But ROI no with net metering.

The SAME normal variation applies. Do you weigh the same every morning?

All numbers vary. On a drive the range and watt/mile will change. When you charge bot the numbers will change. The changes you are reporting are well withing expected variability.

Same here. Nor sure if they are late or if our legacy cars do not support FSD.

Very predictable in my opinion as the price for a Model 3 effectively jumped 15%-20% with the loss of the Federal Tax Credit. I wish Tesla would pull out all stops to make the Model 3 qualify again,

Yes a Model Y type delivery van would likely sell very well, especially in Europe.

I am all for Tesla selling a cheaper car. But they have very few models so make an economy one. No need to cheapen the 3 or the Y. Or maybe offer a lower trim model 3 or Y, I am OK with that as well.

Possibly, but do they use any US made cells for PowerWalls or MegaPacks? If so can they redesign so Model 3 is prioritized? If I recall the main Panasonic production is in Nevada and Tesla can prioritize space and equipment for Panasonic. While Tesla may be doing all that is possible they...

Fortunately thanks to solar my electricity prices were locked in 10 years ago and should remain locked in 20 years from now. A very reasonable $.06/kWh

My Erie insurance went up $20/year or 3%. So I am not stressing.

Tesla Suggestions. As with many people I was quite disappointed in the Q1 P&D numbers. So, it got me to thinking how could Tesla increase demand other than dropping prices. As we have found dropping prices hurts margins, tarnishes Tesla’s “luxury” image and hurts us owners by depressing resale...

Yes my Roadster was similar, To me it sounded like the Enterprise launching into Warp drive, and it felt like it.

Curious how often do you sit on your patio with your favorite beverage and your neighbor comes out to mow his grass and you say ah the soothing sound of a gas engine?

Yes Q1 Toyota is up I think 14% while Tesla declined 8.5%. Overall vehicle sales increased in Q1.

Not if you are not tech savvy and the car is very different than from what you are used to.

I have heard from MANY friends over the last year that while they will consider an EV they will not consider a Tesla. I rarely heard that in the past and NEVER at this intensity. Then many people are put off with the strong push to on-line and the inability to talk to a service person or buy a...

I have been a Tesla owner for 14 years now and an investor for over 10 years. I am quite disappointed that production and deliveries dropped quarter over quarter, but especially year over year while most automotive companies saw growth. Plant investment has slowed and Elon seems to be bracing...

It is not worth arguing about. I believe plug-in hybrids like the Volt, and Toyota Primes are a gateway for many people. They also allow for towing far better than the Tesla options for that small segment of the market that does tow. To me the goal is to reduce gasoline use, not get everyone...

WRONG, here is a link to one study, "On average, owners of the Nissan Leaf battery-electric car cover 629 miles a month, while those who drive the Chevrolet Volt range-extended electric car go 60 percent further, logging 1,012 miles." The second link found that 82% of the Volt's total miles...

Yes a PHEV can be quite similar to an EV. In a study back in 2018 they compared the Chevy Volt to the Nissan Leaf and surprise the average Volt drove more all electric miles than the Leaf. We personally have a Model 3 and we had a Volt and now a RAV4 Prime, because trying to tow our camper...

I am now at 6 years and down 6% after 124,000 miles.

I am confused and maybe because I have a 2018 Model 3 but my app shows I am on 2024.8.7 which is later than most people are reporting but it says I am version 11.1 and no trial for me. Am I missing something?

You are correct here, and think if the Chinese were to arm the Cherokee to the teeth to enable that, similar to how we arm Israel. One difference the Cherokee were driven out some 300 years ago. The Palestinians this generation so the wounds are much fresher. And even if you were to go back...

So why not let them stay in the homes and land they have occupied for more than 2000 years? Why should it be OK for one group to take another groups land, mostly without compensation?

Not that I am aware of and I did replace the 12V 2 years back.

I added a hitch and inductive, wiring harness. I think this is what I used and no wires were cut. This was important to me as I had an early 2018. And it has worked well for 6 years now...

So one stop is definitely doable, but still for long cross country trips with a bigger trailer, I am not sure you would be using your X. I know I would not.

For me towing is the weak link with Tesla especially with their back in charging. 250 miles of interstate range drops to 125 when towing. Then you need to often unhitch to charge. So any tow over 100 miles we elect to take the RAV4 Prime. Just a log easier on a long trip especially if you...

Based on Elon’s past 8 years of FSD promises, very little unfortunately.

Except their #2 Model, the 3, lost the tax credit. That has to be a tail wind. One they can hopefully rectify at some point.

I am not sure the Model 3 ramp was that fast. I got mine in March 2018 and I was VIN 7700

With all the gloom posted this year along with the declining stock price, I took the time to compare the financials of Tesla compared to Toyota, GM and Ford. I would love for others to check my numbers for 2023, but after the exercise I am glad I am long on Tesla. Here are a couple of key...

I disagree, as I think Tesla has superior products and now the other EV owners will see that clearly each and every time they charge. As a Bolt person charges at 55kW sees Tesla's come and go they likely will rethink their next EV. As a Mach-E owner meets many Tesla owners, most again charging...

So how does that explain the sea level rise, in Miami, Annapolis, Charleston, Boston..................................................................

The biggest challenge I believe with rising temperatures is sea level rise. We built our society, our cities and ports to accommodate a sea level that has been relatively static for nearly 10,000 year. Whenever CO2 levels were over 1000ppm there was virtually no ice caps. No ice caps and sea...

$.06 thanks to solar which now half of retail rates.

People stopping to take pictures or even from a car used to happen all the time with the first generation Roadster.

No sir if ALL of Greenland were to melt that would be about 24'. The highest point in Florida is 345' Even Orlando at 89' is quite safe. A problem yes, but lets not exaggerate.

I have the FranklinWH and have been pleased with them and have installed on a few other homes. Their service has been great. After trying for over 3 years to get PowerWalls we gave up. If you want more details feel free to PM me.

In Tennessee racing to the next light can and has been called by cops. And if you press it and try to go to court saying you were accelerating “safely” versus the cop saying you were accelerating recklessly. I would not want those odds if I were not the cop.
