What, no Diablo? Missed opportunity.

I had my BMW i3 bought back by BMW due to two 1/8" holes drilled into the A-Pillar. The car had been flashing a CEL when the range extender kicked on since new and they had had it in the shop ~40 days total in the first two months of ownership. During one of the service visits, they broke the windshield somehow and

This is not a comparison to the rest of the world. It is a measurement of the quality of life for someone in the US making $140k. If they have a house and a family and a car payment and are trying to contribute to a 401k and save for their kids college, they are living a middle class life style. They don’t get to buy

$140k is not rich by any means. Solid middle class especially in any city outside the midwest.

It’s not fair to compare month to month like that. People knew the change was coming so everyone in the market for an EV bought before the tax credit went away. You’d be an idiot not to. We will have to wait for a while to see if it had any impact. Chances are, it won’t. People that buy an EV do so because they want

Article is misleading. Cars were not delivered to customers without seats etc. They were sent to the dealers with instructions that some late arriving parts would be sent separately and that the dealer would install prior to delivery. Nice try Ryan.

So, the problem is not that they can’t build game changing electric cars - and even one that it affordable like all of the experts originally said. It’s that they are doing it but just not fast enough. Got it.

I vote for the 2 ports. The reason the i3 puts it on the back passenger side is for US cars that drive on the right side of the road to be able charge while street parking. That would be hard to do if it was on the driver side.

I had more issues with my new BMW i3 that BMW ended up buying back than I’ve had with my CPO Model X.

This is EXTREMELY common and been around forever. CPUs have cores locked or timings reduced. Appliances have features restricted etc. Programs have features hidden or turned off. At least with Tesla, customers had the option to pay to upgrade their cars. Other manufactures do this and never give you the option to

Is this really that big of an issue? Does anyone ever change where the vents point? The first time I got in my car, I pointed two vents at the driver and two at the passenger...and they have never been touched since. Fan controls and temp? Yeah, we mess with those but complaining about the usability of a control that

Yes. When you buy a new, inventory, or CPO Tesla, you get a referral code. The code can only be used on a new or inventory car (not CPO) and gets the person buying a 1k discount and supercharging and you get credit for a referral. The rewards seem to change often. Here are the details of the plan I got when I bought

They give you a referral code to pass out when you buy a CPO car as well. Your code is good for 180 days so the clock is ticking and I’ve got to start making some rich friends.

Hi. I’m Steve. Are you rich? Do you want to be my friend?

Great. Now you made me waste the rest of my day looking at cakes.

I think a Tesla Model X is the fastest way to move 7 people.

Wouldn’t the dealership need to pay her some advertising fees since they are keeping her car and using it for advertising?

One big plus for Google Music is that one paid account ($15) works for 5 people so my whole family can enjoy.

The system is call the Net Promotor Score or NPS. The way it works is people respond on a scale of 1-10. Responses from 9-10 are called promotors who are deemed so thrilled with their experience, they will actively tell people and help grow your business. 7-8 are neutral. 1-6 are considered detractors. The score is

I’m putting new tires on my i3. They are $165 each.

Except, I have an i3 and have lost track of how many people have told me how cool it is...and I was invited to display it in a car show.
