Very unlikely with the battery tech (cell and chemistry) he has right now unless he's about to announce something more advance than what they are inserting into the Cybertruck...

Estimate for those who placed a deposit (ie, the $50K), but actual full price for those who paid in full ($250K). The question is what legally can they do if the need to increase the price for those who paid in full... The first $5K of both was done through Apple Pay, and the remainder ($45K...

(1) No need to be concerned. They have multiple teams working on different products (current, next gen, future, R&D, etc...). (2) Tesla will release their low-cost vehicle when it's time and ready for it to be announced. Lots of moving parts for this one currently in motion. (3) You may be...

If it is limited run (maybe 5000 units), then it's possible that they don't depreciate but appreciate. As the number dwindle down throughout the years, the price goes up...

I'm thinking it will be well above the $250K. Maybe around $350K to $400K. Just look at what happened to the Cybertruck and it's nerfed specs for more $$$...

Also remember that Ferrari submitted the patent for this = Ferrari Files Patent for Gas Thruster, Pulse Jet Handling System for Supercars Also check out these Engineering Explained videos on the topic.

that is only achievable on a road worthy car through thrust in addition to acceleration, not just acceleration only. Just my guess!

Nothing to be excited for until he shows us the final design and tells us the final spec. Anyone can say anything just for social media impressions... 😉

If you get the Space X package there won't be any back seats, so it becomes a two seater, but if you choose your Next Gen Roadster without the Space X package then you get all four seats 😀

There are a few articles on the internet that exposed the issue. In short: ROW (outside of US/Canada) follows SAE J3069 as their standard for Matrix LED lights. NHTSA doesn't believe that is enough for the US market and is working on their own spec, following J3069, but with what they called...

My understanding is that the new US specification will requires updated LED Matrix which are part of Highland. The one on the legacy Model 3/Y does not support the new specification.

ohh yeah, and it wont' be $200K/$250K... Like the Cybertruck, it will come in much more expensive. I'm guessing $300K/$350K for those who want one. what that means for those who prepaid the full $250K, who knows... Better caught up another $100K 😀

If it does arrive the year... (1) Specs will be reduced considerably. It can't do 620+ miles (he will claim that no one needs that type of range). I can't do 250mph+ (he will claim that you don't need to go that fast)... and Ferrari owns a patent for air thrusters on a vehicle, and I don't...

Possibly. I think it's about 2 to 3 year out still. Engineering may be done, but the tech in the HV pack is not yet figured out to get you 620+ miles or even a 200kwh pack in such a small roadster...

Doesn't it have to be coded to work with your car?

I didn't ask for a deposit refund. I left my Roadster deposit there and ordered an 911 Carrera T spec'ed the way I want it... I figured two things: (1) Ruby Star Neo on the 911 Carrera T last appeared in the 90s, and it's going away in early 2024, so it may be another 30 years for it to...

Elon had mentioned that in the month of November he would share the final design or details on it with manufacturing starting possibly in the spring and deliveries next fall. With the current situation out there and remarks about inflation and interest rates, I suspect that we may be looking at...

In the car, tap on the car image on the lower left of the MCU/1 large screen. Then tap on Software from the left bottom of the menu and then tap on Additional Vehicle Info in blue and take a photo and paste it here. We can help you figure more details out with that image.

You don't need Plaid+ when the Roadster is coming one day in the future with better specs than the Plaid+... No one needs a Plaid+ 4 door 4 seater. We need a 2 door 2 seater roadster with specs greater than Plaid+

That special promo to transfer it was a Q2 incentive and ended June 30th. https://electrek.co/2023/04/24/tesla-triesowners-give-up-unlimited-free-supercharging-for-life/#:~:text=Current%20Tesla%20Model%20S%20or,X%20by%20June%2030%2C%202023.

Not given up... Decided to order an ICE ('24 Porsche 911 Carrera T) while we wait for the Next Gen Roadster to arrive. I need something to hold me over, plus I got an allocation for a 7MT 911-T with the options that I want. It may be a collectors item (in the distant future), if the 992.2...

Isn't this an alignment issue and not a failure of the tire? Maybe too much negative toe on the rear?

I have the following. Are you looking for any of these?

I may ave my pieces from my 2017 Model S P100D. Let me dig it up.

Here is the original manual for the 100amp Gen 1 Wall Charger. https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/high-power-wall-connector-installation-installation-a-b.pdf

The OG Tesla wall connector that supported a 100amp circuit is needed to get the higher speeds.

From what I understand, you'll get a different screen with different options if you have MCU/1 vs. MCU/2 vs. the newer Infotainment found on the latest S3XY... Time to do the optional Infotainment Upgrade Package upgrade (URL - Infotainment Upgrade | Tesla Support for details)

Print this out Infotainment Upgrade | Tesla Support and take that to them. It's clearly stated that it is available with or without the radio. There are two prices. One for pre AP 2.0 vehicles and one for 2.0 and above. Before you print it our or saved as a PDF to attach to the...

Well, while it's not confirmed, for all those who placed a deposit when it listed the price $200K/$250K that was an awesome move if you could afford it... Couple of thing to note: (1) There is no more Founders Edition reservations. Apparently all 1000 units for sales are sold out a few years...

PG&E publishes all tariff's at this link: Tariffs Expand "Electric Rate Schedule" and then search for "EV (Sch)" if looking for EV-A. If looking for EV-2A schedule to do a comparison, search for "EV2 (Sch)". Each will bring up their associated PDFs, and then you can do a comparison. It's...

Time to do the MCU/2 upgrade...

I believe you can get Tesla to run a report using the Tesla app (after a long enough drive). Tesla App > Service > Vehicle Range > Vehicle Range This submits the request for Tesla to download the data and do the analysis. Then you will get a report in about 30 minutes in the Tesla app. I...

(1) Cellular Apple Watch assuming you have cellular service nearby. Useful if you keep forgetting your iPhone at home. Just don't forget your Apple Watch at home. (2) Get an iPhone 14 and use the emergency SOS feature if you are stranded without cell service. Use Emergency SOS via satellite...

From past experience. (1) It will be remanufactured. If you want brand new, then you have to pay the delta and you need to ask them what it will be. Sometimes they won't offer brand new. (2) Range will be dependent on remanufactured or brand new. I think in some warranty document they say...

To help answer your question make sure to run the Vehicle Range after your trip but before you drive again. This will give you some pretty good details. You’ll find it under the service menu for your Model S.

The video of the Q&A and his response.

From past experience, any sort of cash rebate from Tesla, or incentive/referral money has taken about 6 to 7 months before the check just arrives in the mail.

Post your screen shot showing your efficiency and then maybe you'll get some valid responses. The screen shot would look like this.

For me, turn the base up the base on the EQ in the Tesla, and then check out songs from Migos!!! When the rear license plate shakes in a stock system, then you know it's amazing!!!

Ravens are all MCU/2. There is no MCU/3 upgrade at this time. Ravens are also considered Legacy now with the new Model S/X available.

Also found this URL. Not too sure if this helps or not. https://www.newegg.com/insider/genie-aladdin-connect-smart-garage-door-opener-grants-wishes-for-the-connected-home/

Hmm. Good point. I had no idea there were other garage door openers that were not owned by Chamberlin Group. I'm curious if your Genie supports IFTT, and if so, you can use that app to geolocate your home address and one you drive home, it can issue an IFTT with Genie to auto open your garage...

That tweet was in reference to "Wifi Enabled Garage Door Opener" support, which he did release. It's called MyQ. Tesla is just consuming they MyQ APIs and they don't control the cost of those. It's unfortunate, but MyQ is the only solution out there unless you build your own DIY solution. As...

(1) $20K is the discounted price if they keep the old HV Pack. If you want to hold on to the old pack, the price is higher. Most don't hold on to their old HV Pack. (2) There is a 3rd party option for HV Pack Replacement (especially since it's out of warranty). Check out Services | 057...

It's already supported. Many people have it already (assuming they pay for the MyQ service)... It's not yet available for older vehicles, but one ones have it. No ETA or even if it will become available for older generation vehicles (ie, non MCU/3 vehicles).

Picking up a Thermal DJI Drone for home use is pretty inexpensive vs. the cost of the solar roof. You should consider it and then let use now how it works out. It think you're on to something here with helping determining if a panel or string or solar roof tile or string is working or not...

Both both my 2016 Model X and 2017 Model S have received 11.3.4.

I prefer to look at Ideal being EPA miles, vs. what they achieve as real world... I'm optimist on that front, so with that said I expect realistic milages to be around 600 miles, and ideal or EPA two be more. I see the a potential CF tub, CF panels, CF rims, CCB all contributing to a low mass...

(1) He said 600 Highway Miles very clearly in the video. He also mentioned SF to LA which one could guess that means one the grapevine, so if that is true then 600 miles is a good number. EPA numbers are in extremely optional conditions. I betcha you he didn't have EPA numbers back in 2017...

Yup. It's was mentioned verbally in the 2017 Next Gen Roadster reveal video which is still accessible on most video streaming platform. Here's a link to the moment where he indicates it's a 200kwh pack. Now, this was probably in the 18650 or early 2170 days which is why the frunk was sealed...
