I'd just drive with windows down while wearing a mask. Model 3's do not have a HEPA filter, so a COVID virus woudl jsut recirc in the cabin.

It was all virtue signaling. Never seriously considered. Especially after state lawmakers killed AB1999 on Thursday, a proposal authored by Assembly Member Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks (Ventura County), that would have established guardrails on how much the new fixed fee can jump in a given...

Did the Manager have a solution, or is being permanently out-of-spec ok? If they had just sold a car with those numbers under warranty, would they fix it for free and how?

A lot of bills are proposed with no chance of passing. That way the sponsors can claim that they "tried." Politics 101. But the obvious answer is the simple one: $24/mo raises a whole lot more money than $5/mo.

Vote scheduled for next week for customers of PG&E, Edison, and SD The California Public Utilities Commission will soon vote on one of the most contentious pieces of legislation that recently passed through the state legislature — Assembly Bill 205, which lowers rates but also establishes a...

yikes. thanks for responding.

agree with the others. When I travel, I usually check in, drop off the family, and then run over to the supercharger before the batt gets cold. (Or stay at a hotel with a charger so I can plug in overnight.)

I realize it was covered under warranty, but did you happen to see what the price woudl have been? Have a 2018 Model 3 LR that will only charge to 32 amp, when set for 48. Wall charger is fine, since my other car will charge at 48.). Since I'm out of warranty, thought I;d inquire about the...

I have no doubt that real car guys do such a thing, but 99% of the folks have never heard of it. So, no, no need. (If there was a need, we'd have heard about all the brake issues by now.)

Agree with Bruce. I drive The OC to Sunnyvale, and that only requires one stop, so I usually head to Kettleman for a break and meal. But it's not the fastest, which is shorter charges on I5. I also may do that shorter charge and take a meal break at Harris Ranch. Breakfast is ranch hand...

Per wheel?

these were mini desert pies, not pizza. Other than that.....

Or perhaps she likes driving through construction sites, to check out the buff workers? hahaha

Why? I've been driving for 40+ years and can count the number of flat tires on one hand. I have only used a spare in the 5 tire rotation; i.e., never put on a spare due to a flat. For those that prefer the security of a pump, Tesla sells that online. Why raise the price of every car a few...

if you are not one to keep yoru car for more than 4-5 years, why not lease?
