Thanks boss. I'll be sure to go to church on Sunday and ask for forgiveness as well. For what it's worth, I do subscribe to news organizations I believe to be worthy of my money. But the WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, that champion of humanity who gave us Fox News & Donald Trump. He won't...

Anyone who has a subscription pls post this article. Looks super interesting, One of the Brains Behind Tesla May Have a New Way to Make Electric Cars Cheaper

Agreed, it really sucks. The interface is my secondary issue tho, I can prob figure that out by reading the update notes and spending 15 minutes with it. But I'm really annoyed that the Daily seems to have completely disappeared, it was my #1 podcast. The Argument, another New York Times...

After the last update, Tunein changed. I can no longer find a bunch of my favourites, and The Daily, which is a top 3 podcast on most lists, has completely disappeared. Anyone else notice this?

I sense an accountant...

Update -- the guy sounded willing to do the upgrade to get rid of the popping sound, but said the part was out of stock, so need to wait on that. Regarding the range thingie, he's gonna run diagnostics on my battery for the next month and see how it looks.

I've noticed this a lot as well -- many EV's simply park there without charging. Super annoying.

I've got that popping sound regularly when supercharging, and the floor in the back seat sounds hollow when you punch it gently. While the issue the service bulletin 18-16-010 addresses appears unrelated, it states roughly May 7, 2018-August 2018 manufacture dates. My car is a May 2018...

I think you're completely missing the point here. As much as I find your pissing match with the other guy highly amusing, it's sort of not relevant. Tesla is a business, and needs to make decisions with both its customers and its bottom line in mind. You're basically saying you have a need...

100% climate related imo. I'd guess >95% of BC Tesla sales are in the lower mainland + Vancouver Island. Areas like MA, VT, & NY should get them for free before BC.

I've got the same issue. After about 4 minutes of play, Slacker hangs. You've got to switch to something else, then back to what you were listening to. Also, I've noticed the search function on Slacker is a TON worse with V10. Before I'd say name and artist, and it'd start playing the song...

I'm skeptical on FSD, here's why -- Elon always goes on about how we drive with two cameras (our eyes). But this isn't really correct, we drive with two cameras connected to our brain. How many times have you been out driving, and you see something off in the distance, but are unable to...

Exactly. Iirc is was the first or second thing Ford did as a government. He really wanted to string up the Tesla millionaires, was a super high priority for him. And the reckless manner in which he did it got him into a lawsuit, which he promptly lost. Hopefully Scheer will be a little more...

Sounds like some other Quebec groups! :P

It's interesting to see how much more action there is from BC once that $5k incentive kicked in. This thread is as busy as the Ontario thread was when we had our $14k incentive active.

I don't think GF3 will have the capacity to ship to Europe, I think the Chinese market will more than consume all it's capacity, with cheaper price & Hugh EV demand in China.

It's going down like $10k every 10 minutes.... going to be gone by morning at this rate...

The marketing value of his twitter account to the <30 crowd is immeasurable. If he goes out into left field here and there that's small potatoes compared to the brand value he creates with it.

I dunno, Quebec could give them a run for their money on the corruption file. SNC Lavelin, Bombardier, any municipal roadwork, any mayor in the Montreal area.... they've got corruption down.

ok my bad

I must admit, that video did make me chuckle... tho the guy's right, shaking down EV drivers for $1k/yr on top of other licensing fees, is obscene. Never mind the fact that many highways in America (not sure about IL) are already toll roads...

That's correct, S/X don't have charge rate as high as the 3. iirc that's being fixed, at least somewhat with the S/X refresh.

No & yes. :)

While I agree with most everything you said, the slight against Deco labels is a little off imo. While I do agree both public Ford's are highly incompetent, it would not be unusual for Deco to have failed, incompetent Ford's or not. The paper graphics business has been totally decimated by the...

There has been no mention of this anywhere. I *think* this is a good thing -- the less attention on it the better.

He's going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for breaching the beer distribution contract the province has with The Beer Store, to enable corner store sales of alcohol. Think about that for a moment. Taxpayers will be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars, so we can buy beer at...

This actually happened to me 2 days ago. I don't have AP, but had cruise control on. I drifted onto the dotted line on the highway, and it jolted me (and I mean jolted...) back into the lane. It completely freaked me out, I didn't know what was happening, so I put my foot on the brake to take...

Check which forum you're in. Hint: It's not the 51st state. ;)

It's really about optics; in a democracy no-one is supposed to go without representation any longer than reasonably practicable, even if there's not really any apparent use to the exercise. I agree with this, it's important that people identify with the system, especially with the recent rises...

1. Become baller so I can get any chick I want. . . . . . . 16.5 Save planet, yada yada I sort of think this is at the top of every highly motivated male's list. It's why basically every president ever has chicks on the side.

I don't agree. There's dumbing down the English language, then there's evolution of the English language. Your there/their example is clearly bad English and you won't find a dictionary anywhere telling you otherwise. However -- Definition of FORUMS Note the first instance being forums, not...

Which is the plural of "forum": "fora" or "forums"?

Only one thing with all this -- cars aren't regulated globally as air travel basically is. There WILL be some jurisdictions somewhere that'll take whatever cash and/or fame that's on offer, and legalize robo-cars pretty quick. Kosovo or Albania anyone? Once they move it'll be much easier for...

My dad was born on Saltspring Island.... /random fact for the day

oic

The site has a higher number on funds reserved than it does on funds available. Does this not mean the fund is dry??

Agreed. They only need to keep it off the books until the federal election, at which point they offer a software upgrade to unlock the rest of the battery capacity. 100% this 150km version is a software limited battery.

I think this is all completely irrelevant. If Tesla goes bankrupt either they will shed debt, restructure, and continue on, or shed debt, get bought out, and continue on. All this stuff about them ceasing to exist isn't happening. Worst thing that'll ever happen to us is we may have to pay...

Your aggressive driver concern is his inconsiderate & selfish driver concern.

I'd put money it'll be somewhere in America first.

Europe will be last, not first. First will be California if I had to guess. If not there then maybe Nevada another southwest state. Somewhere in the US where Tesla has a good reputation & where there gov't regulators are willing to try new things.

I don't have enough money to get my own bunker like the billionaires are doing these days, but I did buy my house on high ground. ;)

Do you see ppl in Kingston voting Green? How about Richmond Hill? Or Cambridge? Green Party in Ontario currently is an urban elite thing, they only succeeded in Guelph recently cause it's a student community with strong environmental programs at the U of G. I could see them picking up some...

Yeah a bit disappointed by this. But the Greens should pick up the byelection seat where the guy just died (people love dead martyrs), making the final totals 12-10-5. Will be interesting to see if the Libs decide to support the PC's, or if the PC's decide to give the Greens a few environmental...

Yeah, CAQ is their latest tee. it's a green dip dye tee, and in ladies it comes in an off the shoulder version. CAQ will be out next election or two, and they'll be onto the next thing. :p I can see Ford sticking around for a bit, ppl are still super pissed at the Libs... and the NDP... I...

I wanna see Quebec next. They change political parties like most ppl change their shirts, they're due for a Green wave.

The irony being the populists they vote in are more a part of this system than any traditional politician ever would be. The best politician you'll ever see is the dullest politician you'll ever see. Another truism ppl just can't get their head around.

This is why many politicians run for office -- to grease palms when they're there, thereby ensuring they get lots of board appointments when they're done. Most ppl just too dumb to see this. They react to trigger issues (immigrants, religion, or in Doug Ford's case beer and gambling).

Yes, I know it's only PEI, with a population 1/3 the size of Vancouver, but this is still kinda cool. Polls are projecting a tight 3 way race in today's provincial election with the Green Party on top of the polls. Polls are super unreliable tho as it's PEI, so few polls and high variability...

Haven't you seen the Sandy Munro summaries on the engine and battery modules? Tesla is clearly ahead in both those key areas, as well as overall integration.
