No hate here either. Good luck with the sale. My 2012 Leaf SL "Pearl" moved to Colorado a few months ago, so I'm hoping the cooler weather extends her life greatly. I got my configuration email 01/04/18, but I'm waiting for the $35,000 base Model 3 late this year. $36,000 - $3750 = $32,250...

At this point, it looks like Tesla will hit 200,000 cars sold in the US by the end of June, which means the full $7500 tax credit will run out September 30th. If they are able to hold off selling the 200,000th car until July 1, by sending as many as possible to Canada, and holding off deliveries...

If I am not mistaken, I think what really skews the results in big oil's favor is that the main source of heat for the refining process isn't electricity, its the burning of gas or petroleum, right? So, *technically* they make it look like not much energy is being expended to refine a gallon of...

For about 1 year I was able to just reset the error code, and it would behave for another month or 2. But, eventually it wouldn't reset anymore and I had to do something. As someone else said, this is really a safety issue, and you would think that Nissan would have to fix it for free, or face...

The updates that I'm really waiting for are the ones with additional voice commands, to shut all the whiners up that don't like having everything on the touch screen.

No, I'm not confused. Heat speeds up the chemical reaction in all batteries. Everytime i have had a 12 volt battery go bad here in south Florida, the mechanics say the same thing: "the Florida heat cooks batteries. You can't get more than 3 years out of them" . I've actually had better luck than...

I wouldn't doubt that they would plug into 4 SC chargers at a time, if the cords would only reach. :D If i recall, the Megacharger connector has 8 huge terminals, which would seem to indicate 4 separate battery packs, one for each motor. So, maybe they are charging 2 packs at a time, doubling...

I've actually gotten to the point where I'm not sweating the $7500 tax credit anymore. My delivery date for a base Model 3 has been pushed off until "Late 2018". Worst case, the full $7500 tax credit will run out September 30, 2018, but that also means that there will still be a $3750 tax credit...

So, how is your wife liking Pearl? Did the 12 volt battery give up yet? We miss her. :(

2012 software issues that were never resolved: 1) Faulty 12 volt battery algorithm that has left me with a dead battery several times after being on vacation for a week, even with the solar panel exposed to the sun all week. 2) Grabby brake issue that was only 50% resolved by the TSB. 3)...

I agree completely! When my original Ecopias wore out, I thought I would try a "better" tire, a Michelin LRR that many on here really like. But, even with 20,000 miles on them, I had trouble holding 4.0 miles per kWh. I went back to the Ecopia EP422 Plus (about $100 each), and my range instanted...

I cannot believe that I still have my original 2012 battery (delivered 12/08/2011) after 6+ years! :shock: I have even killed it a few times, by not leaving it on a trickle charge while we were on vacation, and it still keeps coming back. The Florida heat is supposed to be hard on batteries...

I have a 2012 Leaf SL with heated seats, heated steering wheel, Chademo, 50,000 miles, new 2016 "Lizard" battery at 90% capacity, newish tires, looks and drives like new. It really needs to move to a cooler climate. I would take any reasonable offer between $4000 and $5000, but figure another...

For someone that just "has to have" a switch to open the glovebox, I am sure that one can be added. As soon as someone in Massachusetts gets a Service Manual for the Model 3, its probably as simple as cutting one wire to the glovebox solenoid, inserting a diode inline, and putting a switch on...

The Leaf is only carrying 30kWh of batteries, the Model 3 has 75 kWh, so I'm expecting a stiffer suspension. The Leaf tires are what, like 37psi, and the Model 3 is 45psi? And, as other said, the Model 3 suspension is probably designed to be a sport suspension, like the BMW 3 series it is...

THIS: This is why I can't understand everyone who is getting their panties all in a bunch about the touchscreen. I guess if you have never owned a Tesla, you don't understand how valuable OTA updates are. As I suspected, Tesla is just pushing the Model 3's out the door as quickly as possible...

More FUD. As I stated earlier in this thread, if I chose a Standard Range Model 3, the congurator says "Early 2018". At this point, it looks like Tesla isn't going to hit 200,000 cars sold in the US until after 04/01/2018, so the full $7500 tax credit will be in effect until 09/30/2018. You can...

Your comment infers that Elon has ill intents, but I have never seen any of that, so I would consider your comment to be both slanderous and libelous. I just think that he always sets unrealistic goals, as if all his employees are as driven as he is, and as as if things always go perfectly when...

The heat in Miami is going to hammer a 2018 non-TMS battery. I would just keep the Leaf you have now, and upgrade it later when/if necessary. This is especially true if Route 95 is most of your commute, where the high speeds will heat up the battery even more. FYI: People in the Miami/Ft...

I think the thing that most people forget about Elon's vision is that he doesn't CARE if Tesla is the #1 EV manufacturer. His goal was to create a car (Model 3) that would generate a pivot point in history, to move the world over to a more sustainable personal transportation. Whether Tesla is...
