When they released their 3 series some few years back there was a nationwide shortage of replacements. Need a new runflat due to a puncture?

Mixed feelings about Musk's response; I genuinely think it was overly harsh in places. That said, I can see why he felt the need to hit back, given what seemed to be at the very least exaggerations in Broder's account. FWIW, as an outsider with no stake, that's my view.<br /><br />I guess what concerns me about Tesla's leaving aside that I'm a 12 hour round-trip from the nearest Tesla dealer, and perhaps 1000 mi from the nearest supercharging station... what happens to a Tesla when it is left without any external power for a week or two and the temperature is -10C?<br /><br />Is the battery pack effectively destroyed (or badly damaged)?<br /><br />Sure, you can scoff "Plug it in", but 15 years ago, where I live, we were without power for 10 days, during winter. That was hopefully a once in a hundred year event, but I'd rather not proceed on that assumption.<br /><br />I think if I lived in the west, or the south, and power came primarily from nuclear, hydro, or renewables, this would be a fantastic car to buy. I admire what Musk has done with SpaceX and with Tesla. I admire the enthusiasm of Tesla owners. The fact that after the 8-year warranty is up, you can buy a replacement battery pack for $8-$12k is very, very interesting.<br /><br />For me? Not where I live. At least not yet.<br /><br />Thanks for the post and pictures.HolmesIVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984693144291478326.post-32468188469739449792013-02-17T17:07:33.506-08:002013-02-17T17:07:33.506-08:00Great blog.

Software is beta for a reason, and if they got an engineer to modify beta software on the spot, it's not surprising there was a minor bug. That's why the software hasn't been released, it hasn't made it through their QA process yet.<br /><br />Pushing beta software to a car is risky, so I suspect Tesla's VP had a hand in that.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732226238383840676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984693144291478326.post-32911481504666839732013-02-17T14:06:02.653-08:002013-02-17T14:06:02.653-08:00Debilitating firmware problems described here don&...Debilitating firmware problems described here don't provide specific evidence to explain Broder's problems, but certainly lend credence to the possibility that his car was misbehaving. The significance of the problem, the shoddiness of the fix, and the apparent side effect of the fix raise questions about whether the collection, analysis, and presentation of the car's data are trustworthy. And it's extremely concerning that a firmware "fix" can be pushed to a vehicle seemingly with no QA at all.

As an early Tesla Roadster and Model S owner (first of each in British Columbia), I agree that one must still have just a DAB of patience to enjoy an EV at this stage, but only a DAB. And if you choose that road, you are SO richly rewarded. Ultimately, life is about people and not tech. I choose to hang with THESE people, not the naysayers who cannot envision innovation. Being a tech company founder myself, with plenty of stories of being told "it will never work", "no-one will ever buy it", I have great admiration and empathy for Elon Musk, George Blankenship, and the thousands of talented, committed, and enthusiastic employees of Tesla Motors, Inc.Vincent Argirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227215472942840500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984693144291478326.post-49210183216793702022013-02-17T12:43:52.691-08:002013-02-17T12:43:52.691-08:00Nice write up.
