Today, Elon Musk tweeted a meme that was a photo of Hitler. Above him, it read, "Stop comparing me to Justin Trudeau". Beneath him, it read, "I had a budget". I can reach no conclusion except that he is an absolute a**hole. His anti-vax tweets and flirtations with conspiracies annoy me. But this...

I have a new-ish Wall Connector that was installed several months ago during a major renovation of my house. I moved back into the house about 2.5 months ago. I'm not driving much (COVID), so I rarely need to charge, but until yesterday I'd had no issues when I did charge. Yesterday, when I was...

It is clearly time for someone who cares about Elon to do an intervention.

YES! YES, IT IS!!!!!

Is there some Tesla Model 3/Maserati Giulia rivalry of which I'm unaware? Because if Maserati drivers think they're in the same league as those of us in Teslas, well....Coffee Lol GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY

I am the original owner of a 2012 Fisker Karma, so I know a thing or three about owning an orphan car. That is exactly why I leased my Model S P100D. And, after Elon stupidly stated in an interview a few months ago that Tesla fairly recently came within weeks of closing the doors, I was...

If you can take the money you'd spend owning a P100D, light it on fire, and still be okay financially and mentally, then I'd say go for it. You only live once. But if you wouldn't be okay with that financially and mentally, I'd say choose another Tesla. As the owner of a Model S P100D with...

I find it a little bit of a head scratcher. But you could program your car to require a PIN to drive if that would make you feel more comfortable.

To the OP: I don't blame you for holding out. I hate v9 with the heat of a thousand suns. It sucks.

Thank you! This was the problem. I'd never noticed that a light touch on the button that puts the car in 'Park' would leave the doors locked while a heavier touch on the button would both put the car in 'Park' *and* unlock the doors.

In the Vehicle settings for my Model S, I've always set the 'Unlock On Park' feature to the OFF position. This means that when I put the car in Park, it should stay locked until I open the driver's door, right? But that isn't what happens. For 2 years now, every time I put the car in Park, it...

I've been put in AP jail twice. Both times, it was because I was doing about 85 MPH in the left lane on the freeway when I noticed a car rapidly approaching from behind in an attempt to pass. And both times, there were semi trucks in the right lane preventing me from pulling into the right lane...

I think you should be glad you haven't gotten version 9 yet. I have it and I *hate* the new user interface with the heat of a thousand suns. It sucks.

Yep...I don't care about them at all either. Though if Aston Martin, Ferrari, McLaren and, to a lesser extent, Porsche (SUVs...really?!?!) start producing all electric versions of their cars, I could care again.

I just checked Tesla stock and see that the price is up $37.56! It seems I totally misunderstood the news on yesterday's reports. This is why I am not your stockbroker, accountant, etc... I am happy to have been wrong! (But I do feel a little silly.)

Ah! Now that I re-read it, I believe you are correct. @RayW, apologies for any misunderstanding.

Forgive me if I misunderstand you, but you seem to be implying that I am a short seller. If so, you should have read my original post more carefully; I made it perfectly clear that I have no idea whether or not I own Tesla stock because my portfolio is managed for me. I am NOT shorting Tesla stock.

Didn't even occur to me, but it's a good idea (although I do like reading forum members' reasoning better than simply getting a yes/no answer). Can any of the moderators turn this post into a poll?

I want to jump in and thank you all for your comments (and I hope others will continue to weigh in). @suwaneedad, as you correctly guessed, I am *not* in the financial field. But I am very appreciative of those of you, like yourself, who can help make sense of it for me. So thank you for your...

Okay, because I know I'm probably going to be attacked by fanboys for merely suggesting that Tesla might not survive, let me start here: *I* am a Tesla fanboy. I lease a 2016 Model S P100D with Ludicrous mode. I absolutely love the car. I sing its praises to anyone who will listen. And I love...

I can't speak to your question about 60 vs. 70 battery pack since I have a 100 Kw battery, but I just did a trip from LA through Nevada/Utah into Montana over to Minneapolis down to Chicago over to Denver back through Utah/Nevada and finally back to LA. Most of the Superchargers along the way...

I was nice meeting you @Half Dollar Bill! Sorry to hear the weather was not conducive to getting the word out about the raffle. Speaking of which, I need to mosey on over to the website and buy a raffle ticket.

Thank you, Doug. This is the best post I've seen so far on TeslaMotorsClub.

At no point have I criticized any part of my father's dairy operation. I merely stated that cows produce methane gas which is harmful to the environment. That's a fact. To put a finer point on it, the amount of methane produced annually by one cow is equivalent in terms of contribution to global...

I do have to admit that I occasionally run across someone I wish I could legally strangle. At this very moment, it's you for suggesting I have anything but total respect and admiration for my father. You're an ass.

I haven't eaten beef in 30 years. I don't own any leather furniture. The only leather goods I consume are shoes/boots, and I look for alternatives whenever/wherever I can find them. Cattle farming contributes to greenhouse gasses from the methane produced by the cows and is very, very, very...

So...whose car is it? If it is yours (or you will be the primary driver), then I think you should get what makes you happy. As for your wife's opinion that only leather seats are luxurious, I beg to differ. After 25 years of driving cars with leather seats, I bought a Fisker Karma four years...

I have the Ultra-White Vegan Leather seats in my P100D. I love it. It feels like the softest leather I've ever encountered. The color is striking. It's cooler than black leather seats would be. In general, it's easy to keep clean (though I have been noticing some transfer of color from my jeans...

I have no experience whatsoever with Tesla's CPO program, but I've definitely heard people talk about great experiences as well as disappointing ones and everything in between. If I were you, I would ask if they would allow you to pick another CPO car that you could inspect beforehand. If not...

Wow! You are under 300 Wh/Mile for most of those! I'm amazed because driving around LA I'm rarely under 400 Wh/Mile, and I don't even think of myself as having a particularly lead foot. I guess I'mg wrong. Thanks for clearing up the mystery that you were posting miles charged, not miles...

Thanks so much for that thoughtful recap! I'm looking forward to reading about your return trip. Maybe I'm daft, but I'm confused about one thing: the miles that you list after each stop don't seem to correspond to the mileage you drover from Location A to Location B. For example, you start in...

Thank you for all this information! I chatted with a Slacker Radio employee on their site a few weeks ago, and he told me it wasn't possible for Tesla owners to upgrade the experience because their contract was not with each of us individually but with Tesla Inc. He said since Tesla Inc had...

There is no way I'd take possession of that car (without a HEFTY discount). In fact, I'd be somewhat insulted that they'd think I was enough of a pushover to believe I'd accept a repaired car as brand new. My advice: Refuse the car and ask for the exact same configuration to be delivered as...

Studies of sleep deprived drivers have shown again and again that they are as dangerous as drunk drivers. I don't want to be the person who does either of those things nor do I want to encourage it. Plans are awesome. Unfortunately, sometimes external forces require us to adhere to a plan that...

For the sake of clarity, I should probably add that my brakes do still squeak after it rains.

Thanks for that explanation! :)

Just to check back in, when I received my Model S in December of last year, I was really, really bothered by squeaking brakes. It was *loud* and made me cringe. It was especially bad when I was trying to do a 3-point turn or maneuver into a parking space. I was thinking that it wasn't really...

Yes, I'm here to spread FUD because what I really want most of all in this life is for the value of my brand new $175,000 Model S P100D to plummet. All sarcasm intended. But seriously, no, I am not here to spread FUD. When I was a child, someone I knew died after being electrocuted...

Cleaning the contacts on the charging cord of a SuperCharger sounds...life threatening.

Chitty Chitty Shush Shush?! Can we be friends? Please?!

"This car is available for between 55000 and 6000 dollars. The best offer will be accepted An extended warrantee that can be bought from Tesla. Make an offer!" I'll take it for $6000. Heck, at that price I'll even throw in another $1000 just to be nice.

I wondered this as well.

I've had the same experience proceeding through an intersection and having to grab the steering wheel because the car pulls toward the right lane. It seems not to know what to do because there are no lines painted in the intersection to guide it. Very concerning to say that least. And I...

"...Negri used the Tesla mobile app to start the car at home, and didn't bring his keys; but when he had to stop and restart the car to adjust a dog seat, there was no cell service, so the start-with-phone method was useless. " Can we talk about the fact that his dog has a 'dog seat'?

Thanks for the advice! I'll try to do that sometime this week and will report back to the forum.

I took delivery of my Model S P100D on 12.21. I live in Los Angeles. I received the update last night. After I downloaded it this afternoon, I excitedly got in the car to check out my new features...only to see the "Driver Assistance Features Unavailable; If issue persists, contact Tesla...

I gave up hookers and cocaine.

The brakes on my new Model S P100D squeak SO badly. It is really annoying. The Tesla Store in Burbank told me it is 'normal'. No one bothered to tell me it would go away after a couple thousand miles. Somewhat relieved to learn that here.

@franklandfield...Thank you so much! I am surprised how much I like the car already. And I love the Blue Exterior/White Interior combo.

Well...I shouldn't complain too much because 1) I have a beautiful Tesla P100D, and 2) I did at least get the capability for fully self-driving vehicle. I can live with the seats as is. Thanks for the information! It was my Delivery Specialist who was confused. She was sweet, but...yeah...she...
