What happens to reservations in this situation? If you reserved at the higher price, do you now get the lower price when your vehicle is delivered? Reservation holders were typically locked-in at their price and immune from the increases. This created this weird commodity market on the forums with people making…

I agree, trains in Europe is the only way to fly.

It’s big business. Where I work, new CEO took over and we laid off a bunch of people at the end of 2020 because things were so dire. Over the last 2 years we’ve gradually gotten back to the same number of people and somehow we are making tons of money again.

My experience in buying a Tesla is that if you buy the car private party and transfer ownership via the app, the paid for features go with the car. As soon as the car hits a used car lot (actual or virtual), the features like FSD, free Premium Connectivity and free Supercharging are turned off.

My only longboarding experience to date was land-paddling on a Bombora.  Prior to that, my skate experience was in my friends drained pool and to and from school in the 80s.

My kid built a 2 motor one. I took it up to 40mph once and all I could picture was shattered collar bones. It was terrifying. What they can do is amazing though.  His topped out at 50mph, could do 30 miles on a charge and could climb a 30% grade.  I think he had like $1500 into it.

Went on a CHP ride along a few years ago. Two DUIs on the shift. Both already had suspended licenses from a previous DUI.

I have six at my house and we currently only have 2 drivers in the household (oldest son away at college).

Not dumb. I wasn’t aware that the Taycan offered that. Per the Kia sales staff (an owner of an EV6), in order to recharge there was an app that needed to be used to enable the charger. He said it could take several minutes for that to happen. Maybe the Kias are not recognized by the EA chargers and it is something…

Plug and charge is literally the only secret sauce Tesla has left. If someone were to figure out that for all the other chargers, Tesla really wouldn’t have anything differentiating themselves.

Co-worker bought a Lightning.  Used a home equity loan.  Welcome to 2008.

I spotted/heard that. It’s like bike sounds fall into 3 categories for movies:

Callahan brake pads may have prevented this.

I have a Lincoln and a Ford. Every time they are in for service, either the service advisor asks when we drop it off, or we get a call from sales about an hour after dropping it off. Been the same for 3 different dealers.

Took my Model 3 in after Christmas for some warranty stuff. It was the first time the service advisor had done something that’s standard for my other cars when they go to the dealer for service. She asked if I’d be willing to trade it in. I was offered a pretty steep discount on a new car. They had cars ready to…

Growing up there, I didn’t notice it.

As a football fan, scenes like this illustrate why the US Men’s National Team will never will a World Cup.

Which one? I’ve only been to the Texas City one. There appears to be some variance in the magnitude of the experience.

Looks like Tesla has been ramping up SC capacity in anticipation of opening up the network. I would imaging that these plans are being fast tracked as it is a potential new revenue stream for the company.
