Respectfully I think we all may be misinterpreting here due to the author's formatting. I think they're saying that it can stay aloft *without refueling or gliding, an option available to fixed-wing aircraft.*

I own a 3, and it barely gets hotter in the cabin than a car with a metal roof, even in the sun. That being said, I have been able to pretty far exceed the EPA efficiency rating by turning the A/C off and driving with the windows down on milder days.

I drive a Model 3, so take this with a huge grain of salt: you don’t miss it. I’ve always found HUDs a bit busy so I’m kind of an ideal audience here. The dash is super low so forward visibility is awesome, and the speedometer sits right around my right hand on the steering wheel, so it’s really easy to just take a…

Yeah, but that’s not due to a boatload of little options: mostly just one big one (choosing a higher trim or getting FSDC, or both). There’s only really five options to select once you choose your trim. I prefer a pricier car with few possible additions versus one I think will be a certain cost, but that I need to add…

Tesla has never said anything of that nature themselves. The refresh rumors are, er, rumors. Tesla has always avoided commenting on upcoming hardware updates for fear of devaluing their current offerings.

Lolwut? OP was wrong, but even a P100D can drag basically as much as a driver could want to. Limp mode comes from extremely high sustained speeds... Not hard acceleration. Not sure where this specific indictment of Teslas came from but it’s generally untrue. Take the Tesla Racing Channel kid for example, who regularly…

And then you’re screwed.

Gotta be honest; having out on a plinth like that makes it super easy to operate. You don’t have to lean out of the seat to press any buttons and basically everything is within arm’s reach. Maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing to some but ease of use is spectacular. 

All Teslas actually come with a little microfiber cloth in the glove box.

I think it’s probably pretty big. Leading theories right now say they probably stacked two battery packs to get up to 200kWh... notice how high he’s sitting. 

The company committed to $35k before incentives. It’s not confusing; they’re building the higher-margin models first to maximize profit. They’ll release the base one when they have to. Is it shitty of them? Yeah. But it makes business sense.

From the guy that took his car to Laguna Seca, apparently the cooling fans never actually kicked on. I’ve seen similar millings on the forums from owners who have sorta pushed their 3's. The rear motor in Model 3 is a Permanent Magnet motor, which runs cooler and is easier to cool off than the AC induction motors in…

(Up to 37mph, on highways, in traffic jams).

Ah, I still remember 2016. It’s incredible how the time flies. I can’t believe it’s already been ten years!

I think the last part of your post comes from a little bit of a misunderstanding about the operation of electric motors. While you’re right in saying that higher power motors are less efficient than lower power ones, the difference isn’t quite as stark as you’d find in a gas car. You can actually have a high-power…

Usually, yes, but that’s not how Tesla functions. Literally all of their service centers are company-owned and customer records are centralized. There is no external company to handle “customer complaints.”

“We’ve been doing a thorough search of our service records, and we cannot find anything suggesting that the customer ever complained to Tesla about the performance of Autopilot. There was a concern raised once about navigation not working correctly, but Autopilot’s performance is unrelated to navigation,” Tesla…

Of the two off-the-cliff crashes I found online, one was in a 2013 Model S (which didn’t have autopilot as an option) and a 2017 Model S, whose driver admitted to swerving to avoid a deer. All of the “sudden unintended acceleration” crashes were determined long ago not to have involved Autopilot. Just like the Toyota…

I mean this as a genuine question; I’m not trying to be a Tesla Douche™: Have you sat in the new “Tesla Premium” seats? The ones in the Model X that they later brought to the Model S are super comfortable to me, far and away better than whatever leather-wrapped park benches they were using in the first generation…

You know the dumbest thing? In high school, I got in an argument with one of the museum guides about this. She called it an SR-71, and I raised my hand, waited patiently to answer, and said it’s almost cooler to me since it was actually a technical predecessor.
