    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    One more thing... Elon is “currently trying to convince shareholders to give him $55 billion – enough to pay the 14,000+ employees he’s laid off six-figure salaries for ~40 years.”

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-supercharger-team-member-insights-after-getting-rehired/ Some folks from the former supercharging team are being asked to return to Tesla. If I were in their shoes there is no way in hades that I'd return. The article says it's because of Elon's 5 Step...

    Direct 18" vs. 20" wheel comparison for efficiency

    I have a 2023 M3P. I ran the OEM tires for about 8000 miles and then had an encounter with a pothole that necessitated a tire change to DWS06+ as that was all that was in stock in my local area at the time. The DWS06+ were noisier and harsher riding than the OEM Pirelli's and after some...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    IMHO, Musk is feeling the heat over his ill timed and stupid/poorly executed decision regarding the Supercharger Team and now he's play damage control.

    DWS06+ or PS4AS or FK460

    Due to an encounter with a pothole, I ran 4 new 245/35-20 DWS06+ on my M3P for about 900 miles on stock Uberturbines. Compared with the stock Pirelli's they were noisier and did not ride as well (they were stiffer and seemed to be just generally harsher riding). I ended up going with a...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    https://electrek.co/2024/05/06/tesla-tsla-launches-another-round-layoffs/ IMHO, this is another fine example of why Elon Musk should not be the CEO of Tesla (or even the manager at the local Taco Bell, for that matter)...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    When the company is under stress? While yes, sales are down a bit. Tesla is still profitable. I don't think you could call it "under stress". It's not the friggin' end of the world when sales are down a bit. I think you'd find it difficult to find anyone who would call @RebeccaTinucci a...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    It's not about whether or not I like the my Tesla vehicles. It's a longer term view of what is happening with the company. I do not believe in any way shape or manner that Elon Musk is playing some type of 4 dimensional chess here. He's just not that smart. Look at his posts on Twitter/X for...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    It's been sort of a given that Elon Musk's association with the Tesla brand has both positive and negative connotations, but over the last couple of years it seems to have heavily tilted towards the negative. He seems to spend more time operating in tilt mode than he ever has. It all seemed to...

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Occam's Razor - The manbaby @elonmusk was pissed because @RebeccaTinucci would not lay off 10% of her Tesla Charging team, so in a fit of rage, he fired her and her whole team.

    T Sportline horrible customer service

    To get back on the subject of this thread, I also tried calling Tsportline on their posted number and it just goes to voicemail. I left a voicemail asking to cancel my order and provided my name and order number. To recap, I placed my order 1 week ago and have sent them 4 different emails to...

    T Sportline horrible customer service

    I buy quite a bit from amazon (primarily I.T./tech hardware) . and they don't actually charge your card instantly. The last order that I placed was charged in 4 different segments over three days as the items were shipped. In my situation, I've been seeing this same behavior from Amazon for a...

    T Sportline horrible customer service

    I'm seeing something similar. I ordered wheels 4 days ago and they immediately charged my Credit Card, but no other communication from them other than an initial "we've received your order" email. According to the rules from the Credit Card providers, they are not supposed to charge your card...

    Aftermarket Wheels on Model 3

    This a great look. Very unique in a "Taking care of business, No BS" manner. What are the wheels and their specs and how was the car lowered (springs or other suspension mods) and by how much? It looks as though the tire diameter is around 26.2 " (similar to stock) so your speedo should be...

    No LTE connectivity

    Update2: Visited the local SC (70 miles away 140 mi r/t) to get the connectivity board replaced. Was provided with a loaner (2020 M3 with 80k miles). Frankly I was surprised how well the loaner drove for having 80k miles on the clock. The replacement was completed later the same day...

    No LTE connectivity

    Update: After working fine for 4 days the LTE was not working again yesterday late afternoon, and a dual scroll wheel reboot did not help. When I arrived home and was in range of Wi-Fi I was offered and installed the 2023.44.30.1 update. That did not seem to help. This morning when leaving...

    No LTE connectivity

    I scheduled a service visit and they inquired as to dates and times where I experienced problems. They were able to verify in the logs and cleared map tile caches and other internal items and scheduled another visit to replace the LTE board (the part was not in stock at the SC). However...

    No LTE connectivity

    I have two M3's. A 2023 M3P and a 2023 RWD. Once they were updated to 2023.44.1, the LTE connectivity turned to crapoola, no matter where the cars are located. I'm thinking that 2023.44.1 is to blame here. Anyone else seeing this?
