There are as many YT wh*res claiming “(fill in the blank) is over” as there are “(fill in the blank) is taking over.

Not sure why you think I’m giving Tesla a pass on their piss-poor quality. I’ve been quite vocal about it. I try not to be too over-the-top negative and not use phrases such as piss-poor and just let Tesla’s quality speak for itself without making excuses or praise he who does not need...

What solar division?

Do your research or face the early-buyer, low-quality early production penalty. We know about it. It’s well known amongst Tesla owners I couldn’t care less if someone with $100-120K in disposable income gets a *sugary* truck trophy.

That’s the way Tesla builds cars, unfortunately. Every single new model has this launch/early production problem. Everything comes out half-baked. Better to wait 12-18 months for them to redesign all the bad decisions out. And then what you have let is the car itself to evaluate.

It does nothing to advance the mission but distract from RoboTaxi and the Tesla compact. All of your arguments for the Roadster are quite the stretch. But you're entitled to disagree. At least I didn't insult you.

Are they ON or are they just in DRL mode?

Update at 80,080miles: Determined that all brake rotors and pads are brand new. Installed 18” Aero wheels (used from eBay). Got the free 30 day Faux Self Driving demo and used it a lot. Neat but not really a good driving experience. Drives like my mom. Going on a 1000 mile trip over...

And you know those little balls on the end of the antenna to help you find your car? Every car should have that!

Please kill the solar roof, too.

Yes. Please kill the 2020 roadster, Elon.

It gets hotter. How much is not documented.

Might as well include this gem. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/cybertruck-in-accident-in-olathe-ks.326964/

Thank you for supporting Tesla during these difficult times.

That's a good eye. It's a repair. I see tape lines on both panels.

You can try. Usually peeling like this is caused by lack or prep or surface contamination. It could also be rubbing of improperly installed or loose trim. Since you appear to be within your warranty period, it's worth a shot. Schedule a visit to the SC and just be super polite and...

Awww, thanks. She appreciates it.

People love to take the total loss for a quarter and divide it by the total number of vehicles sold. That’s not loss per vehicle sold. That’s not gross margin, either. That’s a BS number that includes operating expenses. We all know gross margin is selling price divided by COGS - 1.

I think this is standard procedure for them and medical insurance billing. Fight it a little as a delay tactic then remove it when challenged by facts or when sued or when the local news company does a story.

It could also be a loose or defective valve stem seal.

I give you props for voicing your opinion. The design is certainly controversial. It had to grow on me, and now I love it. As was said above, it's polarizing. Some love it, some hate it. And that's OK with me. When cars are boring and bland, no one genuinely wants it. It's just a car...

That's not what this is about. This is about false charges for something they didn't do.

All of Lucid's technology is great. Too bad it's not going into cars that sell or make them any money.

Maybe it's how Hertz is making up for its Tesla EV losses.

This is fraud, plain and simple.

If it comes with a scratch, the second one won’t feel so bad.

Buying a Lucid now is like buying a Fisker. Any customer is concerned about parts and service due to the future viability of the company. It doesn't matter how great the car is if there is no confidence in the company. Tesla buyers had confidence in the early days, plus hope and hype and...

Forget losses per share. Look at Income vs. Expenses. $176M vs. $729M in losses on 1932 vehicles sold. That’s unsustainable. Lucid won’t even guide on gross margin per vehicle. They’re very. very negative. Rawlinson brags about how great Lucid is and all of the advantages Lucid has in...

Link dead.

I've seen the stretched seat materials on old Teslas. Haven't noticed it on any later models so this appears to be something they "iron out" (no pun intended) as problems come back. Looks like they have some tweaking to do in the design or padding. Now, that's no excuse, but for $20K...

I am following some Fisker owners/enthusiasts on YT and I feel bad for them. They want so hard for Fisker to come out of it and are holding out all hopes and some are foolishly doubling down. Some are invested significantly and it are in denial that there's a 99.9% chance they've lost it all...

The thread is getting heated, but as long as it doesn’t get insulting we’ll be ok. It’s ok to disagree. It’s ok to have a differing opinion. Opinions cannot be wrong. It’s ok to be in the minority. Don’t take disagreement as anger or vitriol. Don’t insult people for liking or...

That’s pretty bad, but typical Tesla. The customer is the final process validation tester.

No way will they cover this under warranty.

Wow. This is crazy FUD being created by the utility. Houses almost never draw their maximum load, and also will seldom all draw at the same time. Since an L2 charger can use less than an oven or a dryer (2.8kw at 12A/240VAC is what I use), there is no risk of "dimming the lights" of...

There are a lot of people who suck on Elon’s 5Ds.

Zero is a speed.

I think the problem isn’t the car learning, but the user learning. How many times do you have to hit your head?

And the damage is expensive to repair! Oh, no! What a disaster! Why fix it at all? If a CT is for working, it doesn’t have time to be fixed. So put it to work! Too many people are treating the CT like a trophy or a delicate flower when it is designed to take a beating, be beaten up...

What a terrible article.

I prefer to wait until the quality improves instead paying a penalty to be first. Not only will that penalty be increase by depreciation, it will also hurt more when the inevitable price decreases come next year or sales to bump demand.

The article says they invested $20k into the startup not on the vehicle. Too bad. My sympathies. Wanna buy some Lucid stock? Faraday Future? Lordstown? Rivian?

That’s one way to get out from under a vehicle from a bankrupt company.

Oy! I didn’t realize I changed countries without noticing. I guess that’s what I get for browsing “new”!

Comprehensive insurance is for non-driving, non-crashing damage to the car, like damaged windshields, hail, or vandalism. Any crash requires some sort of collision coverage and the right kind depending on fault, depending on your state.

What I see is a bed that looks like someone took a p!ss in his truck. Thanks for the laugh.

God forbid the bed gets wet. Is it advertised as water tight?

Why the heck have insurance if you aren’t going to make a claim for damage?

Cracks in any glass should be covered by comprehensive, unless your policy is written specifically for glass. Comprehensive usually covers incidental damage from non-driving incidents. Tree damage, keyings, etc. So, try that approach. Read your whole policy. Your rep may not offer any...
