I'm a minimalist when it comes to fancy options, but I'm all for smart things that increase range. So I'm now advocating for the Heat Belt!

I'm officially invested in a couple of hundred shares.
Holding till Nov 2049 when I will start my mandatory withdrawals.
The only thing that would change my mind would be if SpaceX goes public. If that happens, I will swap 100% of the portfolio into SpaceX.
@ Tesla owners.
How's your AM radio?
I just read an article saying many Euro EV automakers were doing away with AM in their cars because of the EV motors interference with the AM signals.
I can't go without my AM sports stations.
Skip the boat mode mode; CT better build in a strong AM receiver!
I've never seen this picture before. Nor have I ever noticed a seem there on the frunk. It gives some interesting insight that I have not seen before. I'm not sure what is going on with the rear driver's side door. It looks like a cut-away image.
It's obviously an older version of the...
I'm curious and have not put much thought into this but what are your thoughts about everything being run off batteries and no power coming from power plants?
Would that really be a better situation?
I started thinking about it because we bought some new power recline furniture that I can...
Elon's stated ramp-up goal is 250K CTs/yr...but how many will be delivered in 2023?
I'm just curious about what most of you think that number is. No explanation is needed, but feel free to state your case.
This is the inside of my ~10 yr old stainless steel coffee cup. I'm not one of those guys who does not clean my cup. So if you have the time (decade or so) and the resources (massive pool of coffee to dunk the CT into and let sit for ~20 minutes a day). You too could have a brown CT!
This...
I saw a TV commercial/campaign ad this morning advocating to shut down Tesla's FSD. I can't find the ad online but there are several articles that talk about it. Apparently the guy funding it and running for Senate owns a company whose software competes against Tesla's FSD software...
Will it actually happen?

Also now available in OR and VA but I don't care about that...lol. Currently CO Tesla drivers, are you going to switch?
Please let us know your savings.
For the Tesla owners out there that have been on a Tesla waiting list before, did you get a chance to sit in, drive, touch, feel, smell, drive, etc, your model of choice before finalizing your purchase?
I know a lot of people on the waiting list will take delivery with no questions asked. I...

Looks like Ford is taking notes from giga-Texas with their "Mega-Sites"

Just something else to chat about while we all wait patiently.
I don't want the cyber quad, but I would sure as hell take an integrated charging onewheel in the tailgate, or side sails, or bed panel, or frunk.
It doesn't have to be the onewheel brand. Tesla could make their own version...
I'm guessing vaporware, and I doubt it comes to production, but if someone wanted to take the CT and make it look more conventional and then name it after Tesla's human rival...oh wait, I guess that's what they did. I do like the bed cover idea.

How come there isn't a Tech forum for real maintenance opposed to just cosmetic maintenance?
I admit I didn't look at EVs prior to the CT. I still don't. So maybe the topic of this article is old news to Tesla and other EV enthusiasts, but it scares the hell out me...
