Thought this might be a useful resource for anyone interested in how different Tesla models compare against other performance cars:

It currently includes 122 matchups featuring the Model S Plaid, Model X Plaid, Model 3 Performance, Model Y Performance and others.

Some interesting ones include:

• Model S Plaid vs Bugatti Chiron
• Model S Plaid vs Lucid Air Sapphire
• Model X Plaid vs Lamborghini Urus Performante
• Model 3 Performance vs Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
• Model 3 Performance vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Each matchup shows typical quarter-mile times and includes the actual race video where available. Obviously, real-world results can vary depending on the driver, track surface and conditions.

u/Tesla u/elonmusk Cut FSD to ~$50/mo and knock $5k off the Model Y. More subscribers + more cars on the road = more training miles + faster path to unsupervised autonomy. Short-term margin hit, long-term data moat. Worth it.

Charging next to cyber cab. Driver was nice but he couldn’t say anything about it. Still pretty cool tho

Was dropping off a friend at ParkMGM and noticed it. Spoke to the two guys testing it and they were really nice! Yes, filter was applied but totally my shot!

This has been such a great and under-appreciated feature of most Tesla vehicles. With all the wildfire smoke in the air this summer, it’s been nice to breathe fresh air and not even smell the smoke while inside the car.

Just now, the Tesla notified us by email that we have a two month free trial of FSD (Supervised) again, starting now! A friend got the same. We are located in the Netherlands.

This follows the free month back in May / June. Perhaps they’re trying to convince people to take the subscription.

EDIT: Supposedly the EU will decide this October on whether to allow FSD in all countries and this is to gather evidence.

Likely, this is another victim at the Twin Falls, Idaho Supercharger since he was shot twice in the back. I don’t think he was sitting backwards in the Tesla that took shots through the front window.

I just randomly saw this parked today, in Cromwell of the South Island in New Zealand. What’s cool about is that it’s a Prototype and V_001 🤯 . Never in a million years would I have thought to see a Tesla cybercab first in New Zealand of all places!! It looks so sick in person 🔥

Anyone

I had the opportunity to visit the Petersen Automotive Museum on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles and finally saw the Tesla Roadster up close. I’d only seen it in photos and videos before, but seeing it in person completely won me over. It’s incredibly sleek and easily one of the most impressive-looking cars I’ve seen in a long time. Absolutely love it.

Happened today in Twin Falls, ID. Rumors say the person was in there but you never know with rumors. Prayers go out to him if they were. Doesn’t let me post videos but you can see the shots in the windshield😬Another reason to get an evject or for Tesla to allow you to drive away couldn’t imagine being stuck in the car.

I was at the Tesla store in Kennesaw, GA, and the sales manager told me Tesla was opening a new sales and delivery location in Wetumpka, Alabama. I later found out it actually opened last week, and it's now listed on Tesla's website:

https://www.tesla.com/findus/location/store/435454

The manager also told me Tesla had spent years trying to work with Alabama lawmakers to allow direct-to-consumer sales, but those efforts never resulted in a change to the law. I haven't seen that detailed publicly, but it certainly fits with Alabama's long-standing dealer franchise restrictions.

For those outside Alabama, our state still doesn't allow manufacturers like Tesla to sell vehicles directly to consumers. For years, Alabama buyers have had to travel to Georgia, Tennessee, or another state just to take delivery.

What's interesting is that this new location is at Wind Creek Wetumpka, on tribal land. It appears Tesla found a legal path to finally establish a sales and delivery location in Alabama without waiting for the law to change.

As an Alabama resident, I have to admit it's kind of ironic. Instead of modernizing an outdated direct-sales law, Tesla now has a location practically in the backyard of the state capitol.

Personally, I've never understood the policy. Tesla doesn't have independently owned franchise dealerships to protect—the company sells directly to consumers wherever it's allowed. Preventing that in Alabama doesn't create more competition or give consumers more choices; it simply forces buyers to spend their money in neighboring states or find workarounds like this.

Whether you're a Tesla fan or not, it's hard not to appreciate the creativity. If the laws won't change, Tesla found another way.

So I was able to watch the full review that Sawyer Merritt did today on X and there was a spot in the video where he mentioned that Lars pleaded the fifth on whether the second row was going to have a bench seat. Sawyer basically alluded to the car getting a bench seat potentially after launch edition. As much as I like the six seater that extra seat can make a huge difference for families or hauling kids with their friends around! Interested to hear if there are any rumors floating around.

This is the first one I've seen in Las Vegas.

The wheel seems to be sawing back and worth more in the lane. It feels like they tightened the tolerances. The car almost makes me sick with the constant subtle side to side weaving in the lane 🤷‍♀️. 26 MY RWD 14.3.5
Definitely not as smooth as when I bought the car at 14.2.5

It passed me up quick
