I trust my self driving car more than 2/3 of the drivers out there.......

They do re-leather also. Great customer service.

I have always wore Red Wings, they will replace the sole if you send them in. Thus you should be able to get years out of them.

Totally normal. At 62 your hormone levels are changing. Happens in both men and women

I think people should stop overthinking things they have no control over.......and should focus on what they can control.....just sayin.

Oh, the sky is falling...... ugh. Name ONE thing the government created controls, that has done better than it was before......and did not do better once they got out.... This is a great thing. You can re-read this a year from now.

Can anyone name a known investment advisor who recommends this? Other than internet social media? Serious question.

PM sent

All the above. He cannot find enough good people down here.

A buddy of mine owns Roll Secure Hurricane Shutters in Naples Fl. They handle Hurricane Shutters, Doors and Windows. He is trying to recruit employees from the midwest for their work ethic. It is a great economy, lots of work, and the weather is fantastic. Just throwing this out there is anyone is looking for an opportunity. http://rollsecure.com/

Lol. Sounds like the same thing the CEO of Blackberry said in 2007.

You don't have to be a Narc to see what is going on in southern Ohio. We did a few cruises in SE Ohio and went thru some small towns. The entire population of the town looked like a scene out of breaking bad. We did not even stop for stop signs, some crazy stuff going on down there.

Smh.....

Absolutely, The first thing you choose is battery size. They started out at 60 kW, then went to 70 kW, then went to 85 kilowatt. Because people start traveling and wanted more range, the 90 kW and 100 kW are now the most popular. And the smaller batteries have been eliminated. Once you choose your battery size, then comes your performance Adding a P to the designation, adds a whole Lotta things to the car in a package. It adds the carbon fiber spoiler, red calipers and an upgrade in performance, as well as air suspension. This package is usually pretty expensive, but is completely worth it if you’re totally about performance. The difference can be up to 1.5 seconds in the 0 to 60 category. Example would be a 85 would do 0 to 60 in four seconds, where a P85 will do it in 2.9 seconds. This is totally unnecessary as the standard car is plenty fast compared to most everything out there, but if you were really looking to blow people away and live performance, the P upgrade is worth it. From there, its either the basic interior, which is a ballistic cloth or leather. Now it’s a pseudo-leathe, called vegan leather, that is actually extremely buttery soft and wonderful. You can get a stereo upgrade, you can get dual home chargers which will charge faster at your house. In 2015 came the big additions of Ludicrous power, 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. And they also added the all-wheel-drive which was dual motors. That designation is a D on the emblem. They also added auto pilot which allows a car to drive continuously in a lane for as long as that lane exist. The next phase is self driving, while this module is available for purchase right now. It is not active. This will allow you to put a destination in for the car and it will actually drive there, obeying all traffic lights, traffic and will make turns. For Ohio drivers, I always recommend the biggest battery you can afford, the D for all wheel drive, and what other options you want to add on top of that. The P, is just if you super love speed, and the other options are self-explanatory. The really expensive items are P, D, and auto pilot with self driving. Hopefully this helps.

The reason that a lot of these Teslas have such low mileage, the original buyers of these vehicles did not have supercharging and did not travel a lot. The early concerns were that you could only charge it home. Obviously today that is completely different. When you look at the buyers between 2012 and 2014. Super Chargers were mainly on the East and West Coast in the smattering of them across the United States. Now they’re virtually in and around every city. You can punch a destination into your NAV system and it will tell you which supercharger you need to hit, and for how many minutes you need to stay there. It’s quite sophisticated. But the primary early adopter was a person that literally drove to and from work and did not travel a lot. Subsequently, The new buyer travels frequently, and the newer cars are racking up higher mileage faster than the older cars. You can nitpick any brand of car death. Hell, people still can’t decide whether Ford Mustang or a Chevy Camaro is the premium sports car. And those people will argue all day long till their death as to which one is better. But I will tell you once you own a tesla, regardless of what you think about the styling or the interior, you will absolutely want to stay with electric. I didn’t think I would ever say that. I still love internal combustion engines and I love the sound of a good exhaust. But for a daily driver, I can’t think of a better car than a Tesla. And when another electric car comes out, and it offers more features for the same or less money, I will certainly look. But I will be brand loyal until that happens. Simply because there isn’t anything comparable yet. Tesla is not only change in the world as to what your expectations are for an electric car. They’ve added features that every vehicle manufacture is copying now. The lane assist that I’m seeing on every car is been a Tesla since 2013. The automatic braking for when you’re about to hit something, has also been there since 2013. I see all the ads for the new Mercedes, Volvo, etc. and they act like it’s a brand new thing. I recently saw an ad for a Mercedes that is self driving. BFD, mines been self driving since January 2015. Once you have a car that drives itself, it is amazing the things that it catches that you don’t. I Actually have no problem taking a look at a text, when my car is self driving. It’s probably a better driver than me. Regardless of what you read in the newspapers or magazines, that is probably funded by big oil, these cars are absolutely awesome.

I will be in Naples on Thursday, if you need help.

2012-2013 are going as low as $40k . Operating cost is $7 per 250 miles. Cheaper if you go use superchargers to charge it.

Used Tesla Model S and drive the hell out of it. 8 years, unlimited miles warranty on drivetrain. Zero maintenance other than wiper blades and tires.

Elon is all about sustainability. First create the electric car, and create a system to charge your electric car. Then advance that system to run your entire home. His belief is that you ultimately will be off the grid, and selling your electricity back to the power companies. Power companies in turn will become distributors of power, not manufactures of power.

http://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/13058/the-model-3-is-further-proof-of-teslas-asymmetric-war-against-the-auto-industry 1800 new Model 3 orders each day.

Good article, but I have not read one positive article about Tesla by the media. They all want the company to fail. I guess big oil must be an incredible influence. Even if I am 100% wrong, I am ok with any outcome. Because at least we tried.

There is no doubt, I drank the Kool-Aid in 2009 when I met Elon in Palo Alto. I couldn't wait to invest in this company. There's no doubt he has missed a few deadlines, and certainly the model S interior could've been a little more luxurious, but I've been nothing but overwhelmed every time I bought a vehicle, and I think about how much driving has changed since 2009. For a daily driver, I wouldn't own anything but an electric vehicle. I already see the effect it had on all the ICE manufactures. So many of them have started to add all the safety features of lane control and automatic braking. Do I think he will be able to produce 500,000 cars a year? This one, I think he will not miss. It'll take a year to find out. But I think he's going to be able to do it. After touring the facility, I think it's totally possible. People are going to be the biggest hindrance to fully self driving cars. I think there's going to be a huge reluctance to give up the ability to drive. However if you analyze some of the situations as to why we have so much traffic, it only makes sense to give it up. In one study Elon examined a single intersection. 10 years ago you could get between 30 and 40 cars through a single green light. Today that number has dropped in half. Why, driver distraction. It used to take only a few milliseconds for somebody to begin to accelerate forward when the light turned green. Today, it can take up to two or three seconds for each vehicle to start to accelerate because of distractions. So only half the number of cars get through the intersection. Elon believes we can get 3 times the original number of cars through the intersection of all the vehicles are communicating with one another, and they actually know the latest turning green. Regardless of what one's position is on self driving vehicles or electric vehicles in general, I think it's cool as hell.

I have two of them on order. One is scheduled for an October delivery and the other one for eight December delivery. I'm going to order the first one to just see what it's all about. Probably will flip it in a couple months. I will order the second one Winn the all wheel drive comes out.

Nothing makes me giggle more than the negative comments......about how Elon will fail. Lol. Head in the sand....

You could also do a side mount opener. Would give even more clearance.
