I have a S60. Definitely not the fastest model but it is surprisingly agile and fun to drive. It has auto-pilot. I love the amount of space in it. I’ve pulled the back seats down and slept in it many times on road trips. Extremely comfy with a portable mattress as you can extend your feet fully. I paid $74k after the…

Not to take any glory away from the amazing Tesla, the Turbo S did over 50 launches without any degradation. Launch a P90D several times and the battery would overheat.

It’s not stealing when the terms and conditions of the game explicitly say ‘no cheating’. You are stealing from the community by cheating. Why are you defending unfair play?

Depends on cost of living though. Your salary is the median household income in the US last I checked. If you live in certain areas, you can live comfortably. I am a Mfg Eng and I just get by in the Silicon Valley with twice a series director salary. Between dividing up the mortgage, expenses, ultilities, property…

They did a test run at Tejon Ranch in LA. There was a cost to swapping the battery. I believe it is $60 and you have to come back to get your own pack. People just didn’t seem to be bothered by it and so the program never took off.

From what I learned working in the tech space, time is of the utmost importance. 50k is a drop in the bucket vs taking the 6 months to reverse engineer what the X is good at and where it should be improved so that Ford can learn from Tesla.

Stupid Murica. Can’t get the RS6 if I bribed a customs agent with hookers and blow.

Most owners with this mindset just sell theirs and get the new one. I’m perfectly fine with my current one and I’ll bet a lot of people don’t give a hoot because the driving experience is the same.

You mean ‘two’? Yes I reserved two Model 3s for my parents.

That still far exceeded Tesla’s and Wall Street’s predictions. But it will also drive the stock down somewhat.

I heard the margins for the S were somewhere around 25-30%. The main driving costs were the batteries and the chassis was full aluminium. The 3 will not be a full aluminium chassis and will have cheaper batteries by the time the gigafactory is fully operational due to economics of scale. Also I don’t think the margins…

The are standard. Which is really nice since when tech package was an option 2 years ago on my S, it was a 4500 add on. Fortunately I got the autopilot hardware.

The Mazda 3 and 6 this generation are absolutely gorgeous compared to the hideous camry and civic/accords this generation.

You are not allowed to transfer your reservation per the site and per my delivery specialist when I asked them about reserving 2 of them. I have the Model S so I wanted to get priority for my family members. Most likely I will need to co-own it with my mom or dad so they can use it as their regular car once delivery.

It is a phase out scenario. There are 200,000 $7500 federal tax credits to each car manufacturer. Currently VINs for the S and X total to about 130-140k cars sold. Of those I would say about 55-65% are sales in the US that can apply to the credit. So lets just say 200k credits - 70k credits used so far= 130k credits…

Oh god, can’t unsee.

I would really love SCers on the PCH from Washington to LA. Right now its just the I5 or parts of 101. That stretch of road is beautiful to drive in a quiet car. Or a nice sounding flat 6 carrera s. :O

2 in 130k cars on the road right now is much less than 1%. Let’s say this. If your seat belt while you were in a car that was about to catch on fire due to a crash, would you prefer to get some extra time to unbelt yourself in a Tesla that has independent modules to reduce spread of fire, or in a ICE where puff your…

Don’t forget the Model S when it was unveiled as the White Star was very different from the current S. The interior for the unveil a few years ago looked like this:

I’ve been using it for a few months now. Quite confident. Sharper turns I’ll put my hands over the wheel to be ready. Long straight roads are a breeze.
