Wow this is cool

everything wears out eventually for one reason or another.

this is a nice price at $8000 or maybe even $9000 with the 4.0, but a crap pipe with the 4 cylinder.

the worst case scenario for a 4 year old tesla would be the batteries chemically unable to hold a charge anymore and requiring a complete replacement. luckily that isn’t the case.

yea...lets talk about the clutch replacement on my 4 year old Audi S4...sad face

an $1800 repair on a 4 year old car? Tesla just wanted to mimic the german luxury car experience. at least there is a fix.

its more like lightning cable vs usb micro vs usb-c. tesla is lightning cable. If they can capture the market share and provide the infrastructure and the seamless experience, it can work and coexist.

you should uncheck level 2 chargers and remap that. Level 2 is trash if you are trying to get somewhere, and its the most common charger right now.

you can charge your tesla on other fast chargers with adapters. it will be nothing but a win for tesla owners.

if you drive one you will discover the speedo placement is the least weird thing about the car. the position in the far upper left of the screen puts its in your field of vision more than adequately. looks are always subjective, however.

I keep hearing this but I’m convinced it’s either the loud minority or people that have never actually sat in a real model 3 

when you travel, you aren’t using level 2 chargers unless you are stopping for the night. I think I was peaking at 110kw. I never get to 0%, just like you likely never get to completely empty. I was at probably 15% and 10 minutes of charging got me another 110 miles of so of range and was enough to get me home where I…

I was road tripping in my model 3 today, I stopped at a supercharger for 10 minutes and it was enough for me to get home over 160 miles away. I can get a zero-full charge (which is a scenario that doesn’t happen) in about 45 minutes. Some

in my not even that large city, a serious escalator or moving walk injury requiring hospitalization happens at our single small airport at least 1-2 times per year.

you can walk up to any jeep wrangler probably since the very first one, and open the hood without a key. yes.

that ignores both Ford and FCA making huge investments in Chicago and Detroit. There could be others, but those are the 2 I heard of. They could have gone Mexico, but they didn’t.

I know you are joking, but a lot of people don’t realize that elevators and escalators fall in the same industry. although if I’m honest most elevator mechanics hate working on escalators because it is cramped, uncomfortable, and dangerous.

wanting plants built in the US vs new plants in Mexico is a valid complaint. Especially as there are concurrent billion dollar investments in US based auto plants by other automakers, both foreign and domestic.

escalator design has been largely unchanged for the last 100 years. and its not safe to walk on them, and there’s also no way to stop it. no one has come up with an alternative safer moving walk design, other than eliminating them altogether. 

elevator professional here. This is why you should not walk up escalators: there is a serious and real risk of amputation. If you trip up normal stairs, no big deal. you catch yourself with your hands, maybe bruise a shin. If you trip up the stairs on an escalator and instinctively put your hand down in the wrong…
