Interview with president of Grüne Liga Brandenburgs, Heinz-Herwig Masche: (Google translate is your friend) Interview | Grüne Liga Brandenburg: "Tesla besitzt keine Baugenehmigung" - Brandenburg - Startseite "We don't want to stop Tesla"

A bit strange they only show numbers after May 2017. Why? Could it be because so many ordered the Tesla Model 3 in the year prior to that that these later numbers doesn't matter in comparison? Show us the numbers of May 2016 for scale!

Did we witness a delivery event - without any actual, you know, deliveries? :confused:

Were any Tesla Model 3 actually delivered to anyone today?

That's it?! We didn't even see any actual cars being delivered? Well THAT will start all kind of conspiracy theories...

I certainly hope I don't need to order a third Model 3 to watch. Can't see any bl*dy countdown :mad::mad::mad:

@kdday: do you have bought fully autonomous drive or just the enhanced autopilot? Because it could be different boards for those two with one or two GPU-s.

Batteries are not especially heavy. 1 kWh of batteries is enough to store a day's production of electricity from one m2 of solar panel. That is about 5 kg of added weight to a solar panel typically weighting about 15 kg/m2 already. Plus about 5 kg for the cooling. Results in 25 kg/m2 instead of...

What if we should read the master plan literally? "Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage" Imagine this: a solar panel with batteries attached to the back of it. Thus it can "provide power" even after sunset! Between the solar panel and the batteries coolant...

Part 2 of the master plan got delayed, because:

At Tesla Club Sweden our member Wahll came up with this brilliant prayer: (if anyone gets offended please accept our apologies) Tesla's Prayer Our Tesla built in California, hallowed be thy name. Thy made in your factory. Thy will be driven on roads as it is in navigator. Give us this day...

In Europe, where we love towing stuff, Tesla has a different setup on (some of) their Superchargers: some do not require the driver to reverse into the charging spot, thus trailers can remain attached.

Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to emission test an electric vehicle?! Every time they try they don't get any readouts! :biggrin:

You get two 60 kW chargers for €60,000 - including installation.

Read more about the Karlskrona Fastcharger at Tesla Club Sweden: Google Översätt They are privately owned, but free access to all Tesla owners. They are limited to 60 kW due to simpler mains connection (100A 400V three-phase). The TCS article also describes how to order your own, they cost...

We handled it in our own little way: We BEV-d a gas station :biggrin: Last Saturday suddenly a dozen electric cars -silently!- appeared out of nowhere and occupied all available pumps at a gas station in Stockholm, Sweden. Read the whole story at BEV-ing a gas station - Tesla Club Sweden

It is a custom wrap. Hexis blue metallic. More pictures of the car at teslaclubsweden.se

We had to quickly add some extra CPU-s to it. The first peak shows how high load our server managed to handle before it got overloaded: Tweet from Elon Musk = DDoS attack :biggrin:

It IS already in a separate thread here at TMC: Test drive of a petrol car

The Nissan LEAF emits such a noise. I have a LEAF and can testify that nobody NOBODY is alerted by it. People are not even alerted by gasoline engine noise any more - unless you step on the pedal so the motor revs up. Not being able to do so with the LEAF noisemaker renders it useless. Oh...

This is what many Swedes and Norwegians have been laughing at this week: Test drive of a petrol car - Tesla Club Sweden

As a Leaf owner with an annoying artificial sound generator I can affirm you it does not help at all. People still can't hear you coming. They are used to move aside only if you roar your engine :-(

They will obviously release a new firmware with the words "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters on the center screen :tongue:

Tommy Rojas tweeted this pic: tommy rojas on Twitter: For me it looks like a dual-motor Model S with wheel sensors hauling a trailer loaded with test load. TM doing some testing of a trailer hitch? The D versions of Model S do have the same motor combination as Model X, that will be...

Yes, it is a smartphone app. See their press release: ​Henk charges his Tesla when electricity price is low

SpaceX rocket landing pad! :D OK, serious now: if you are going to build a hundred wind towers it is easier on flat ground. Moving cranes and equipment around. You don't do it for one, but perhaps you do it for one hundred.

One thing strikes me looking at the pictures: why ONE building instead of several ones? If say a fire starts in the factory isn't it easier to contain it if the factory is split up in say 8 large buildings, instead of one HUGE?

Something is wrong with that back door. Isn't it properly closed, or what?

So they managed to put it back together again? :wink: Obviously it was an early Tesla they bought for "engineering evaluation" meaning buying a competitor's car and dismantling it to pieces to see how it was made.

Secret Model X test mule? :wink:

A bit confusion right now. According to Auto Express Elon Musk said "three bars", according to Tesla Motors tweet it will be "Model 3". Anyway, it was easier for me to horizontal flip the upper part of the "S" in MODEL S in the picture and thus create a "3" than make three bars.

The badge on the car:

Breaking news: Model X passengers will get wet in the rain after they have left the vehicle!

I loved the cartoon too, but wish he didn't bring the fires up again. People have actually already forgot those fires. During my conversations with people noone mentions them any more. So why bring it up again?

I don't care what you are calling it, just sell me the darn thing already!

I would like to know what has happened to the European Supercharger rollout? According to plan, around a hundred of them will be installed this year. But after a third of the year gone we still only have the same 14 of them we had at the beginning of this year :-(

If they cost the same I would definitely take the used S. At least the first year, until any issues with the Model E has been worked out. Aand apart from early issues, the Model E will have lower specs, both in handling and range.

It is simply solved by the fact that the Model X has a B pillar...

It seats 6, not 9. And if you look carefully at the video you will see that the left rear door fails to close properly first, only on the second try. :smile: The driver gets so stressed he drives aways without waiting for the front door to close properly. I wonder if the rear door can be...

I don't know about rear-view mirror usage in the USA, but here in Europe you are thought in driving school to look at your rear view mirrors every 5 seconds. You can't rely on any switches then for the images to appear - they must be visible at all time.

On the center screen.

Sure, why not. No can do. Your customers are not the people buying the cars, but the resellers. And resellers WANT people to bring in their cars for expensive maintenance. No can do, for the same reason as above. Resellers WANT people to abandon perfectly working good cars just because they...

The picture you are referring to actually already shows the rear mirror camera images to the left and right of the spedometer. I recon the information that was shown next to the spedometer in Model S will be moved to the center screen in Model X. Only the spedometer will remain in the...

Several Swedish car magazines have complained about the poor design of the Tesla Model S headrests. They offer no whiplash protection at all. (You know, Volvo-country...) However, as the European crash test EuroNCAP do check for whiplash protection we certainly hope Tesla Motors will improve...

Perhaps ALL 2014 Model S will have 4 wheel drive! :cool: I mean, all Model X will have 4-wheel drive, so why not all Model S too?

Toyota needs fuel cells because they realize they simply cannot get enough batteries for all their future vehicles. Tesla Motors will need to build the largest battery factory in the world just to supply batteries for their expected volume of 500 000 cars a year in the future. Toyota makes 10...
