I will never buy an old fashioned ICE again!
And while the ICE turning on in the cold is very annoying, the car is working as designed. It is just the trade off for the extended range...

20 months and 15000 miles
Exceptionally positive experiences overall.
The only negative experience was anytime the ICE generator kicked in. This happens rarely in the summer, but briefly on every...

Yep, you have to click one or two buttons and then select the regen level. I am one of those that really prefers the higher level of regen at all times. But if you do prefer switching back and...

It may be a case of everyone is different.
I have no trouble with either one.

Worse car for me was the Tesla Roadster. You had to go in foot first, then sit, then the other foot. That is how I...

I hope not. I don't see how it would work and I would hate to see Tesla spend money in inefficient ways.
However, I am certainly not saying I am smarter than Musk. So if they do try this, I will...

Interesting. I agree with much of the article, but there are parts I also disagree strongly with.

He raises a great point on getting into the car as I have noticed some people have more trouble...

Ours is a 85. We just hit a 155 mile day yesterday with an estimated 81 miles left on a partial charge (about 90%).



Not sure I understand you. A slightly smaller car is due out in 2017...

Honda bought some. Various auto companies that needed the credits. Does it matter?

Tesla has made a public offering of stock today, along with some other options I am not quite sure I understand.
They apparently intend to raise over 800 Million.
They intend to use some of this to...

EPA range is 265. In Minnesota I am beating that number but I have no idea how much the altitude changes would affect range.

Last I heard dealers have not been getting reimbursed for warrantee work for quite some time, so repairs are pretty much out of pocket.
Part availability may also be an issue, however the remaining...

Nope, not in 7 months with the S, nor 27 months in the Roadster.
Of course, I don't fill my 'tank' only half way when I need a full tank;-)

In the Model S I have taken down to about 27 miles...

It looks as if that has happened.
Tesla has produced a number of cars for service centers to use as loners as well as for test drive events. These cars can be bought (discounted by mileage).

So...

Hehe, when something that better fits my needs comes along. Check back with me in 20 years or so.

Your expectations are not fitting reality.
Someone that just ordered a performance got a 6 week wait time. Tesla indicates about a month for P85s, 2 months for 85s and 2.5 to 3 for 60 kWh.

The...

Lack of sale able technology?? Tesla is selling drive units to both Toyota and Diamler.
The performance blows away anything GM has to offer, plus you can comfortable seat five, and have 30cu ft of...

There are a million luxury cars sold in the US alone. 15,000 is only 1.5% of that. I see no shortage of people in that market.
Overseas (where the other 6,000 sales come from) the Model S is much...

Awesome to hear! It is a ways away yet, but I am looking forward to visiting Texas in my Model S using superchargers.

There was a test drive event up in Minneapolis Friday and Saturday. One...

The ZEV credits accounted for 12% of Tesla's revenue in the first quarter. Guidance provided by Tesla is that the ZEV credits will be less in future quarters and they plan for it to be zero by the...

I think your memory is playing tricks on you.
Tesla's master plan was to build a second car that was 'roughly' half the price of the Roadster. In 2006 that was supposed to be $89k. THAT price did...
