!!!! I just scheduled a tire rotation through the app for this Wednesday. It took an entire 30 seconds. Worst part is they have to come to my house so I’m not inconvenienced. The outrage!!! 🤪
In 2018 I put 52,336 miles (84K km) on my Model S, down 11% from 2017. If I continue on this trajectory I may cross 200,000 miles in 2019. Nearly 100% of the electricity came from local grid, which is currently 28% renewable. This year I will work to go 100% solar and battery.
I hit 275k miles (443k km) on my
@tesla
Model S today! The car continues to be a workhorse for me. Tires are the most common expense. It has the original motor. I’m 145k miles into the second battery. Very stable degradation.

Cybertruck rolled off the line last night, I present to you some of those who were ambitious enough to say it'd NEVER happen...
Had the worst
@Tesla
service experience this week. I scheduled an appointment from the app. Several days later mobile service came to my house. They swapped my summer for winter tires then left. I payed through the app. So outraged.

Adding my voice to
@tesla
mobile connectorgate.
For 5/6 years of ownership I used the mobile connector daily. I upgraded to a wall connector last year. With 280,000 EV miles under my belt, I believe it should be included in the car purchase as a basic way to charge.

Okay! I just ran the quote and it’s nearly 5 times LESS expensive for the same policy I had with Progressive! Just made the switch to Tesla Insurance! 🤯
BREAKING: Tesla Insurance has just launched in Oregon, Virginia and Colorado! Tesla has also launched a new insurance website.
Including today's 3 new states,
@Tesla
Insurance is now available in 8 states in the US, covering a population of over 118 million people.

Sandy Munro has found an Easter egg in the Model Y. They call it the Octovalve. I'm assuming this is an iteration of the Model 3 Superbottle coolant reservoir.

In no particular order, these are the very best 'affordable' (i.e. under $40k) electric vehicles you can buy right now:
- Hyundai Kona
- Chevrolet Bolt
- VW e-Golf
- Nissan Leaf Plus
- Hyundai Ioniq
Tesla service is at my house now rotating my tires. Not on my original service request, I asked for some help with installing my new wipers and installing a new key fob battery.
@Tesla
mobile service ROCKS! My car is at 257K miles and going strong!

Weird. Who the hell did they interview? I don’t know of anyone who thinks this.
“Nearly half of American electric vehicle (EV) owners want to buy an internal combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study from McKinsey and Company, a leading

Hey
@danahull
. I respect your effort here but you’re comparing the largest Porsche battery pack with the smallest Tesla packs. Was this intentional? That’s not an apples to apples comparison.
I just range tested a Model S Long Range Performace at highway speeds. It did not get Tesla’s stated 348 miles of range. It actually exceed it. This thing is pretty legit.
I'm looking forward to meeting with
@POTUS
tomorrow to talk about how strengthening consumer incentives will help get more drivers behind the wheels of EVs & help American workers lead the global transition to zero-emissions transportation.
I often replay this clip in my mind every time I experience challenges. Success most often comes from the bedrock of obstacles. Don't give up.

I’m probably a minority here, but Joe Rogan‘s podcast episodes could be half as short if he just excluded all the trivial banter. I’m listening to the Elon Musk interview and thinking to myself, “you have one of the most interesting people in the world on your podcast and you’re

Three years ago today it was revealed. My flight was canceled due to a snow storm, so I drove through the night to be there at the event.

@Tesla
quarterly wrap up article like I usually do. Thought you didn’t cover it so I did a search and found it. Appreciate you covering both bull/bear opinions. Are you not sharing out your articles anymore?
I’ve been around long enough that you see the same tech Luddite comments like this. The same people that tell you EVs will never catch on are so quick to point out the rare instances when there’s so much demand owners have to wait. Never mind the rare instances gas cars have to
Fair critique for ~3-5% of Superchargers. This is a great problem, though. It means the idea of EVs is working and it's a $ generator.
