As another early Tesla Model 3 owner, they messed with pricing a LOT in 2018, and in particular on the first few months of Performance Model 3's. I think quite frankly they milked their biggest fans for maximum profit, which is good from a business point of view but really off-putting from a...

Well thats positively disappointing. I had seen press that they were aware and addressing things (https://insideevs.com/news/389891/exclusive-interview-electrify-america-problems-solutions/) and this is but 1 datapoint for me with EA's issues. But it took a fair amount to make the wife...

Folks trying to thread the needle on range vs aesthetics by getting the 21's and removing the aero inserts should definitely go in knowing that you'll lose some range when you remove those inserts. No one knows how much, we can certainly speculate, but ultimately it will be less. Those inserts...

I was hoping for that variable as well, but in another shot the odometer can be seen and is at 2,979mi. Pic taken from the larger Motor Trend review thread -...

https://electrek.co/2021/09/02/tesla-delays-cybertruck-late-2022/ Now slid from "2022" to "Late 2022". Which in my Elon-translator means if everything goes right (it never does) there is a chance of delivery by Dec 2022. My personal guesstimate at this point for first Cybertruck deliveries is...

Delivering their first vehicles to customers AND IPOing within only a few months. That is extremely bullish on Rivian's part. Agreed with @CarterGee that this should give folks confidence that they're going to deliver. Attempting to IPO a couple of months after missing your biggest (first...

Breaking a rim on the 22's has come up a number of times in this thread. Can someone explain this more to me? I've run, what I'd consider, low profile tires on my cars for years and haven't had an issue (knocks wood). I just compared my current (non-stock) tires on my Model 3 to the 22"s I...

Not shocked that Senator Ethanol (Nebraska) wants to slow down the transition to EVs. Capping it at 100k income creates a very small group of folks that can utilize the whole rebate. Which is the point of the amendment. Single filers need to have at least 57k in taxable income, to have 7500...

I can understand the disappointment and wanting more, I want more info too. But my big take away is that real reservation holders have actually driven the truck. That is progress. I know the running gag is "soon" but this "soon" feels a lot meatier then any of the other deadlines they've...

On a less sassy note, this is huge news. This may let me switch from the max pack back to the 300mi pack if I'm able to depend on the Tesla SC network. I'm usually one of (but not THE one you're thinking about) that thinks "Range is King". But enough range and a legitimately good DCFC...

Tesla doesn't do "soon" Tesla does Elon-time. Elon is generally massively optimistic with his timelines, so definitely pad by 6m to a year ... perhaps more

There is a bunch out there laying out the case for EVs being cleaner than ICE. (I think that's what you were asking for links on?) https://www.engadget.com/ev-cleaner-gas-cars-lifespan-study-095041081.html...

What a neat video. I'm waiting for my R1S, but if I was a R1T buyer I'd be really tempted to get this. Also gave another great look at Rivian Blue. As others have said across a number of threads, that this blue can look different in different pics due to lighting, filters etc. I hope what we...

Thankfully I've only needed to take it in a total of 3 times over 3 years (I do my tire rotations at home) and 2 of those were in the first 2 months. The 3rd time I drove it to down to RI to get serviced as it would have been a month or longer to get service around Boston. On the first 2...

Tesla has, what I'd classify, as a number of different factions of its supporters. In the lead up to the Model 3 launch/ramp up in 2017-2018 there was such a wide and varied assortment of folks on the Tesla Motors Club forums. Tesla had somehow managed to collect : * Eco-concious...

You beat me by 3 minutes! I just got that "check the Rivian stories" email myself and rushed to the forums to share ?

1) Thanks Mods for making the thread title better 2) I was happy to see this comparison list the EPA as well as the "real world" as Telsa has a very large discrepancy with all of their cars between their EPA numbers and their real-world highway numbers. It's really quite frustrating because...

Saw this on Reddit that user `citiz3nfiv3` did a super detailed comparison, so I thought I'd share it more broadly. Comparison: Credit where credit is due - Source:

If this report is to be believed the Hummer pickup will weigh over 9,000lbs!! :oops::oops: I know batteries are heavy, but at what point do you need a better class of license to drive something this big? https://www.thedrive.com/news/40657/the-gmc-hummer-ev-pickup-will-weigh-9046-pounds-report

We're hopefully getting a R1S as we're a growing family that will need to fit 3 car seats and gear but not wanting to drive an ICE leaves few options. I had hopes that that refresh of the Model X would make it viable for us, but Tesla is decidedly going in the opposite direction of my...
