Looks like we will have 210 miles to drive between Llano and Llano if we go to brunch with the wedding party so that will be tight.

The 120v charger to me is only good if you're going to be sitting somewhere for 2 days and are able to keep the car charging that long, but we do have one.

I'll check out plugshare.

Curious if anyone gave their car fun names. My wife and daughters came up with Carmadillo for our grey model X.

I think I'm settling on "Sir Cort Godfrey of the Tessie Alliance"

Stock ticking up today on rumors again of a new model launch shortly.

The electric vehicle giant posted two videos on Sunday that that appeared to be a car component, ending with the number "10/7," suggesting Tuesday's date. Another video , also posted on Sunday, shows the headlights of a car, with the rest of the vehicle obscured in darkness.

The teasers have led to suggestions among company watchers that it could be about to launch a more affordable mass market model, which investors have long touted as the key component in boosting its flagging sales.
However, chief executive Elon Musk has also been promising a next-generation Roadster vehicle. In September, he wrote on X that "the new Roadster is something special beyond a car."

FSD 14, new affordable model and Optimus 3.0. There's a lot going on at Tesla right now.

I've got a few hundred shares of TSLA and really wish I had more. At least I've got about the same of PLTR.

I work in O&G and really wish the debate over electric vehicles vs ICE wasn't so focused on green energy vs oil. Politicians and the govt mandating electric has i think turned a large swathe of consumers off of them completely. These cars are legitimately fun to drive and have just insane tech and a lot of people in my industry thumb their noses at them simply because they have been politicized. I think more would have adopted them if this hoopla wasn't surrounding them. We freaking love ours and I wish I would have bought one earlier.

Yeah, but for some people, they hurt their calf. All that throttle pedal.

Even if you don't give a flip about green/global warming/whatever, it is so freaking awesome to just plug it in at night, have a full tank and save a bunch of cash in the process. Especially in the winter/rain, where you don't have to stand outside anymore to pump gas.

Fastest car, I've ever owned (Porsche, Jag XF Supercharged, 280z, etc...)

And as FSD continues to improve, that will be the ultimate game-changer. One day, we will put the address in for the beach, take a nap, wake up and be there. That's gonna be a bit, but it will happen.

After purchasing a new MY, you get 30 days free FSD from Tesla. Are you then able to get 3 more months using another owner's code? Or can you not stack?

I doubt it. Probably done by VIN since the FSD is tied to the VIN.

It's my only complaint.

A model X with FSD and 10-25k miles of warranty left for under $50k is the best deal in automobiles imo.

I think the teaser videos are for the roadster. Do wonder if they are showing a spinning fan for a suction system or something else to increase downforce on a static car to get the initial traction needed for their estimated 0-60 time

Of coarse the teasers could be for two different products for Master Plan IV


N/m, saw a video about how there is source code on Tesla's website for the cheaper Model Y RWD standard range

Not sure of the years, but some Xs have FUSC (free unliimited super charging) as well.

It's definitely cheap Model Y, question is whether or not it's cheap Model Y and Roadster/something else, or just cheap Model Y.

Mildly surprised they're doing this much hype for a cheaper Model Y, but also think it would be weird for them to both announce a very stripped down version of the Model Y and also re-announce the Roadster because I wouldn't think they'd want it overshadowed.

One question I haven't seen answered yet is if it nags you less.

Edit: Found this. Claims we are at level 3 now. When the car senses heavier traffic, railroad crossings.

I experienced something annoying last night and I'm wondering if there's a setting I need to change. I drove in from San Antonio and went straight to McFerrin to work with a student entrepreneur group. I got to campus at 6% which I knew was enough to get home with about 2% but when I mapped my house the car wanted me to go to a supercharger for 5 minutes then get home with 25%. When I had it remove charging stops it confirmed I would be at 2% when I got home and that's what happened. Then when I got home it gave me an urgent warning that the battery was low and I should charge immediately. Seems like it should know by now I have a charger at home and let me go home without recommending a charging stop first.

Anyone else experience that?

Guessing these will be $2-3k cheaper within a year.

Limited the color choices to gray, white, and black

Model 3 Std
Range 321 miles
225 kW max rate
5.8s 0-60
Articles say smaller battery pack, but curb weight is still the same. Software limit instead of fewer cells?

The RWD Long Range now called RWD Premium has a range of 363 miles now (was 357 previously). All new batteries across the lineup?

Set your arrive at destination percentage lower, but the lowest setting it has 5%.

In case y'all are interested in the differences between the new "premium vs. standard" series beyond range and charging stats, it looks like the standard will have different wheels, cloth interior without ventilation, no rear screen, no adjustable steering column, and no ambient lighting. It also doesn't have Autosteer, you can add FSD.

I feel like I'd just take over and park it myself once I get to the lot. Way to many variables in parking lots these days.

How good is FSD at avoiding potholes and road irregularities?

When I'm on a rough stretch or road, I will for sure maneuver my vehicle in a way to avoid the larger potholes or creases and bumps in the road. I've ridden with people who do NOT do this and it drives me nuts they just go straight on down the road when a few minor adjustments, staying within your lane, will make for a much better ride.
