How is a few hundred deep cycles acceptable for the market? Aircraft that make money would need to charge 3-4 times per day, 7 days a week. That would mean the batteries would only last 2 months.

Can't you get the shop that installed the new wheels to fix it for free?

One of the two Joby flight test aircraft has crashed. Probably going to delay certification.

The breaker is sized to protect the wires in the house/garage going to the outlet. If the wires are sized for a 40A breaker then you cannot install anything larger than a 40A breaker. If the "electrician" installed a 70A breaker then the wires had better be of the correct size otherwise it is...

Not exactly. To certify the aircraft the batteries will need to be in a fire proof/explosion proof containment vessel with a vent to outside the aircraft. Not easy to scatter batteries all over the aircraft and meet this criteria. I actually only see them in a few locations on the aircraft.

Only talking about hybrids so it will be possible.

Where are the side view mirrors? I think they are still required in the US (cameras not allowed) unless the regulations are going to change by 2022.

How exactly does this Mustang EV outperform a 760hp GT500?

Or the oil dripped could be enhancing the longevity of the Asphalt. I am not sure, but Asphalt is a petroleum product so who knows.

You say you got hit so why is your insurance covering the repair and not the driver at fault?

Just because they say up to does not mean they are only using sections from the WLTP cycles. It just means if you drive it hard you will not obtain this number. All manufacturer's might as well say "up to" but I think everyone knows it is a given.

Record for what a production car? That car was modified. John Force can do 300+ in a modified Mustang in 5 seconds.

They should have compared it to another EV and showed it drive off the end of the carrier into the water when it could not stop in time.

The Kona EV is $37k minus $7500 for some so that is why it might sell over the $41k SR+.

My guess is they already have this information on you (the car) and are quoting it accordingly.

Don't forget the much better interior. Some will buy the Taycan just for that reason just like some buy a 911 over a Corvette. To some a nice interior is worth the $20k plus difference in price.

You can drive that fast now on the I5 once north of LA or south of SJ.

Not to mention he drives on battery power alone on his commute to work so the argument is mute.

It would have to be the glass. You would not be able to force a solid piece of glass in to a distorted frame, it would crack/break. Sounds like the OP just needs a replacement windshield, roof glass, and rear glass and things will be fine.

So is it $5k to $7k per battery pack or per module of which there is 4 in the car. Some seem to think it is the later which means it would be quadruple the price.

Since it is a 2020 Roadster it should start delivering by Sept 2019.

Did they also tell you not to bring a check but a suitcase full of cash?

I'm not sure why the original owners do not get these issues resolved at the time of purchase. Some think they can live with mismatched bumper paint or miss-aligned panels but when it comes time to sell all the prospective buyers will think it has been in an accident. Might be too late to...

I'm not seeing a problem.

Every car I have ever owned was painted everywhere there is metal with the exterior color. Under carpet, under door panels, underneath the car, under the hood and under trunk liners. This includes Honda/Mercedes/Jeep/Ford/Dodge/Toyota. And I would know because I modified a lot of my cars and...

What's the time frame? Just look at a M5 or AMG that is 12-15yrs old. They were $80k during there day and can now be bought for $7k to $15k.

So just to clarify - this does not prevent someone from breaking your window, it only prevents them from stealing your stuff in the trunk, Correct?

Not sure it is the fire attracting all the attention but the fire department needing to watch the car all night part. This is not a Tesla thing but a EV thing. Imagine 16 million new EV's hitting the roads every year in 10 years time. Going to take a lot of fire department resources.

The problem is that it would take 12hrs to get to 60,000ft.

So was your fix to not attach the liner with anything thru the hole, but to pad the area with felt so that the noise is not heard? I am not sure that should be a long term fix as it seems the applied felt/tape could trap moisture and allow a place for corrosion to start.

Nothing more than cars don't sell well at GM and Ford. The drivetrain will reappear in a CUV/SUV.

Lol - its not just NY, you get that from residents of many states.

No, but the insurance company can choose to pay themselves or let Tesla if they determine it was not caused by a road incident. Either way the insurance company is going to deal with it. I'm also assuming the OP is not lying about it not happening when he had the car.

If it did not happen when you were driving and no one else drove the car then it happened before you took new delivery. Have your insurance company fight it out with Tesla.

High tread wear is the norm for a 4000lb RWD car that can go 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Welcome to the club of buying tires every 20,000 miles or so. You can either rotate and replace all 4 tires in 20k-30k miles or not rotate and just replace the rears at 15k and the fronts at 30k. Or drive it...

Definitely a great time by the M3P. I wish they had tested them at the Big track at Willow Springs as well. The Streets is a lot of slow speed corners were the all wheel drive cars have an advantage. I used to drive there in my street/track CRX and a stock C32AMG years ago. Even at 1800lbs...

I doubt there is a law saying you can't have a computer mounted to your dash. You can mount anything you want within your car as long as it does not obstruct your view. They can't assume it is a distraction without witnessing such a distraction. If he thought it was against the law then he...

If you want that particular VIN I would just keep the original delivery date and then not show up. After a day or two they will contact you to find out why. Just email them back from Europe and say you forgot the appointment and would like to reschedule as soon as possible. When they email...

He is measuring cap to fender lip, not ground.

Anyone know how many days it took to make the trip?

I don't know about leaving it alone. What if you decide you need to sell the car in a few years and every one that comes to look/buy it thinks it was in an accident because of the mismatched paint. I think I would get it fixed.

This thread has my head spinning. No one can agree on how to tell the difference between a standard AWD and a Performance without the Options. This seems wrong to me that the top of the line 3 (at least the one minus the $5k options) has no differentiating features from the lower end models...

This needs to be weighed against the extra use of the air-conditioner compressor and whether the cost of this out weighs the cost of any electronics you are saving.

I just bought 5000 shares. Either way I win big. If it goes private I make a killing. If he does not take it private and the price is below $420 I sue him for fraud.

Or the possibility of getting a rejected car as your VIN and it be one of the paint defect ones that has been repainted.

These end links would have zero effect on tire wear. SC probably just saw they were cracked during inspection and replaced.

They are suppose to have the foam. Can you get the part number from the side of the tire, or picture?.

Agreed - no need for them to build a coupe anytime soon. The volume will be way too low. Need the Y, Truck, remodeled S before any coupe. Plus a model S coupe would make more sense.
