at 5am this morning, a crackhead came up to my car when my brother was moving my car and she demanded money. saying that we owe her $! like wtf we never saw her around my hometown before so it was definitely random. must’ve been going through withdrawals and needed $ to reup her drugs. SO… she blocked my brother from getting away… she kicked my tesla headlight, threw ROCK at my windshield (just a scruff thank god) THEN kick my side mirror outwards… AND she had the audacity to pick up a fucking CEMENT BLOCK… my brother decided to drive away and while he drove away, she threw the cement block and it hit my side window (another scruff) then at the rear window (same thing, a scruff). THANKFULLY, NO SERIOUS DAMAGE. just scruffs on my windows but repairable with some glass polish and the side mirror was fine. JEEZ. like wtf. find something better to do or find a job!!!! jesus christ.
are tesla windows that damn strong? or was she just that weak that didn’t really make any impact on my car other than scruffs?? either way, i’m so grateful that my windows did not break!

You seem like an interesting person.
That is all.
We’ve had a MYLR for two years and love it, but our family is growing and we’ve been eying the EV9 since it was a concept. We mainly use it for around town driving but do take it on longer road trips, so DC fast charging is important for us. We just had a local dealer try to give us a pretty good deal on a GT, but we’re hesitant due to the lack of chargers in ENC.
Any one else made the switch? How would you compare it to your Tesla experience?

Has anyone seen an app or website with a map showing where you CANT go with the Tesla Supercharger network? I'm looking for something similar to a mobile phone network map. I like going on camping and road trips and it would be helpful to know what options are off the table before I start exploring them.
Ideally the map would show where you can go with different states of charge on different models, and show your round trip percentages. Yes, L2 chargers are always an option, but I have free supercharging after my recent purchase.
Edit: The best workaround I've found so far is to use this website:
Enter a few supercharger addresses in the area you want to explore, and put the max driving distance you want to be from the charger. 100 miles, for example, may give you the buffer you're looking for.

WWYD? I have the video of the license plate as the car pulled into the parking spot next to my Tesla, the kid swings open the door and smacks it right into my Tesla, then gets out and proceeds to try and wipe away the dent with their finger. Does not seem like the parent was aware of what happened, and if it were an older car I would not care, but my car has barely a thousand miles yet. Do I contact the police or my insurance to investigate?
I see a lot of people I respect on Tesla bemoaning the last year or so of aggressive price cuts by Tesla. To me, this seems short sighted, and I’m not sure if I’m missing something or people are being too short-term focused.
Note: I don’t want to debate price cuts vs. advertising. Clearly, Tesla has enough money to do both. I don’t think they should price cuts instead of marketing, I think they should do both.
Let’s start with the biggest downside of cutting prices - losing margin and profit. As far as I can tell, this matters for basically 2 reasons:
-
Less profits to spend growing the business
-
This doesn’t seem to be relevant for Tesla right now. They have a ton of cash and their cash keeps growing and is more than enough to fund all R&D, operational expenses, and really anything else they seem to want to spend money on. As far as I can tell, more cash on Tesla’s balance sheet wouldn’t help them in a meaningful way.
-
-
Lower earnings which leads to lower stock price.
-
This is what I think most people care about, but is functionally irrelevant if you're holding for a long time horizon because the current profits won’t have much of an impact on profits or stock price in 5+ years. Profits from 5 years ago have 0 impact on the stock today.
-
What’s the upside of cutting prices as much as possible? They are numerous.
-
More Tesla owners now is better for later.
-
First, if you believe that owning a Tesla now makes you more likely to buy one later (which there is significant data to suggest), the more Tesla owners now, the bigger base of likely repeat buyers. Essentially gaining market share which will then be easier for them to hold than acquiring new customers.
-
Second, word of mouth growth. If you also believe that owning a Tesla will make it more likely that those around you will buy a Tesla (which I do), then more Teslas can lead to more Teslas.
-
Third, future software, supercharing, and services revenue. Obviously if FSD ever materializes or even improves enough to increase take-rate, the more Tesla's the better. Tesla insurance can make more money with more Teslas. Supercharging, etc. The list goes on.
-
Volume growth ultimately leads to lower costs. The more Model Y's Tesla sells, likely the lower they will be able to produce it for. Over a long time horizon, the cost they are able to make it for matters much more than the current profits they make on it.
-
-
Cheaper Tesla's poses significant challenges for competitors.
-
Every OEM who is looking to increase electric car sales has to compete against Tesla. They are already losing a significant amount of money on every car they make - with Tesla lowering prices, they have to either lower prices and lose more money OR see lower volumes of sales. Both outcomes are terrible for their long-term electric car plans. I think it's pretty clear that other car companies to not want Tesla to lower prices.
-
What am I missing? Until Tesla could actually benefit from the extra profits, I don't see any downsides for lowering prices to the bare bones. And on the other side, there seem to be a lot of upsides that will pay off over the course of years.

I started having this problem about 2 months ago and it happens every time regardless of where I am and where my Tesla is parked. Basically, when I open my Tesla app to warm up the car, the Car Last Seen keeps loading for about 5 minutes. It's annoying because I have to keep my phone open on the app for 5 minutes. If I close the app and reopen it, it will load again starting from the 5 minutes. I have reinstalled the app, cleared the Cache, etc. but nothing seems to fix this. Also, if I try to turn on the heating control while it is still loading it will say Climate Control Failed. Was wondering if this happens to anyone else.
Discussion of solar photovoltaic systems, modules, the solar energy business, solar power production, utility-scale, commercial rooftop, residential, off-grid systems and more. Solar photovoltaic technology is one of the great developments of the modern age. Improvements to design and cost reductions continue to take place. How efficient will it become? When will it become so affordable that it's accessible to everyone? How are other energy industries having an effect on solar pv?
So I’ve gotten down to 2 offers for an upcoming system addition. Existing system is 7 kW
Tesla Direct
4.05 kW 2 v2 batteries $28k ($34k with the span, hopefully)
Local
4.1 kW (REC panels) 1 v2 battery Span panel $28.5k ($40k with 2 batteries)
The span panels a bit of a variable now since it depends if the installer tesla uses can do it. I’m doing it mostly since my panel itself is completely full. So it’ll free up some breaker space. But also for the cool factor of course.
That said, overall, tesla is quite a bit cheaper. I’d likely do 2 batteries with tesla vs 1 battery with the local installer based on cost difference.
But I’ve read quite a few horror stories about dealing with tesla directly. There’s also a bit of comfort in knowing tesla won’t be going out of business though as the solar industry in California isn’t doing so hot.
I don’t know. Anyone have strong thoughts for discussion?
