  1. Have all the haters FINALLY gone away?

    It's not a Mustang -- it's Tomorrow's Mustang. AND it's an EV! So, both categories of haters fall into the same tank: The Past. From the Stones: "Yesterday don't matter if it's gone."
  2. Can't deal with the bouncy ride anymore after two weeks with the Mach-E. What do I do?

    If anyone remembers what it's like to drive a car that is in need of shocks, it's bounce-bounce-bounce. Sounds like it's... the shocks.
  3. Great YouTube Video Model Y winter range with heat pump…

    I believe in both cases you're seeing EPA not factory estimates.
  4. Big Tesla recall announced. Almost 500K vehicles

    I got that recall. Funny I do use the rear screen but also my mirrors. (old habit!). It's a voluntary recall, which makes me wonder if there would ever be a formal recall for back-up video considering we still use mirrors. No one even commented on my Tesla forum as they're too busy freaking...
  5. Cops Bust Tesla Driver Sleeping On Autopilot

    I qualified for the FSD Beta in my Tesla 3 and have really little interest in using it. I actually LIKE driving the car.
  6. Tesla owners locked out!

    I have no idea where this news is sourced. I'm not locked out of my Tesla and none of my friends are. Even supposing some sort of Bluetooth craziness happens the Tesla key is exactly the size of a credit card so you'd have to be a real moron not to have it on you. Or have it available. I...
  7. What value are dealerships adding to the purchase experience?

    Best & worst: My 70 year old dad, living in Vermont, bought a VW that he was told had -- and he paid for -- ABS. When visiting, I saw it didn't and I called VW NA who told me they had zero control over dealers... I said: "Dad 70. In Vermont (snow, ice?). Too bad. At the end of the work day I...
  8. What value are dealerships adding to the purchase experience?

    Tesla US dealership disputes - Wikipedia The Federal Trade Commission recommends allowing direct manufacturer sales, which a 2000 report by a Goldman Sachs analyst projected would save consumers an average of $2,225 on a $26,000 car.
  9. Question about online buying

    My wife bought a 70K$ Range on her Amex. They said a lot of people were doing it for points etc.
  10. What value are dealerships adding to the purchase experience?

    Dealers ride the protectionist tide. Yes, some states actually have laws against car manufacturers selling direct, which has nothing whatsoever to do with their stated claim which is that without dealers the poor, confused, public would not know what to buy because they know so little about...
  11. Drivers door got keyed.. ?

    Sorry this happened to you, I fear it's going to become a trend again. I remember a lot of Tesla owners were putting plate frames on their cars reminding fools that the Tesla is an American car. But to go after a Mustang..? We are reaching new lows.
  12. Electric car Parking etiquette?

    One municipality in Ca is towing non-evs for parking in an ev spot. I think non-charging eves will be next. They should just locate the ev spots "inconveniently".
  13. Horrible first EA experience today

    I'm originally from Vermont, one of the most beautiful states. Leave California? I do not think so. It's a lot cleaner than when I first got here -- especially the air. Musk move his HQ because of taxes.
  14. Horrible first EA experience today

    When I first got my M3P I glanced in the "Your Neighborhood" app and there was a whole give and take about Model S drivers dreading the arrival of the unwashed M3 hordes which were about to consume all known chargers -- said while holding their noses, of course. If anyone tries hard enough...
  15. MagneRide Error (temperature related?)

    Had two cars with Magneride w/o issues. The ONLY thing I could imagine is the 12v is headed south. The system does use an ECU.
