Lots of response to the truck! Full show notes at - https://www.plugyourride.com/post/episode-148-swatting-the-hornet-s-nest

It's all about that truck... that truck... that truck.

I got an update and it feels like Christmas! Cybertruck reveal is THIS WEEK! Mustang reveal is tonight! And just what the heck IS a sleeper?? All that and more coming up on this episode of Plug Your Ride!

We have a date for the pickup reveal and more results from the Bloomberg Model 3 survey

Bloomberg survey results are in... and good. Model 3 gets more range and a little price bump.
Check out all the pretty graphs here - https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-tesla-model-3-survey/

Q3 brings a ton of good news and the stock goes nuts! Plus some good news of our own.

Several Model Y sightings... with cool wheels. And new cool wheels for Model 3 and $100 down gets you a Tesla

One year with the Model 3 and I love it. Want FSD? Buy now before the price goes up a grand.

Living with v10 for a week. Some pretty cool stuff!

V10 is in wide release and Smart Summon is crashing cars! Weeeeee

Quarter-end incentives change after being abused, Tesla is hiring and BIG news from Daimler

A TON of new features coming in v10, I got rained on anyway, and Teslas don't crash enough.

When will V10 be here? Elon's three word answer (pretty much always the same)

A road trip this weekend got two (or 8) very different opinions, Model 3 is PETA approved and Advanced Summon is pretty awesome
So, how did Autopilot handle this highway??

 

Check out my new Tesla-loving buddies and their music:

Why aren't the Tesla killers killing, Jag's new EV looks killer inside and Sentry Mode nabs a thief

Jag reneges on its rebate for Tesla owners, Spotify coming to US (maybe) and Tesla's service woes cost them millions

A scolding from NHTSA, a class-action lawsuit and a BIG bill for idle fees! 
See the NHTSA letter and Tesla's response here

Can we PLEASE decide on whether Supercharging is free or not?? Plus a cannonball and a Fresco.

Netflilx and YouTube coming to your dash SOON and Tesla is CLOSE to unveiling the pickup truck.

A big ol V3 Supercharger opens in Vegas, MORE pricing changes and Elon's daily driver

YES Tesla made a record number of deliveries in Q2! Plus a full trip report on Eddie's Jackson Hole vacation.

This week Eddie is road tripping to Jackson Hole so we’re putting the show on hold for a week. Have a great week and we’ll see you next week with a trip report!

Another leaked Elon email, is Summon REALLY gonna be enhanced and LOTS of GFY candidates
 

Kevin's long email:
To Whom It May Concern:
I like my Tesla Model S. More than like it – I LOVE IT!
I saved for several years, knowing that THIS is the car for me. Good looking, fast and great for the environment. I’m not giving my money to oil companies or hostile countries that don’t have our best interests at heart. On or around December 24, 2016, I took delivery of my Model S 75D. It wasn’t the battery size I wanted, but I was already near $100K for a car. I am not rich and that’s all I could afford. I’m happy with my purchase. I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…
After about a year, the main battery develop a defect and it was necessary to send the battery back to Tesla for service. The Service Center in Tysons, VA install what I was led to believe was a “loaner” battery. I was told my original battery would be repaired, sent back from Tesla and installed. After waiting almost, a year, I stopped by the Tyson’s Service Center to find out where my original battery was. I work about a quarter of a mile up the street from the Service Center, so it was no problem coming by. I was told that the loaner battery is now to be my permanent battery. I was told that this is an “upgraded” battery; less prone to failures. No offers of an actual replacement battery – not even an offer of a used higher capacity battery. I left feeling somewhat cheated…
I love the car, support Tesla and its mission… 
During the time of the battery fiasco, my tires were beginning to show wear. My Tesla, which I have named KITT, is my primary car and I drive it 80+ miles a day to and from work. I also noticed the car starting to drift slightly,; I can’t remember right or left. I decided to get better all-season tires and had them mounted on 20” wheels. After having that done, Tesla informed me that they could not do a necessary wheel alignment with the 20” wheels installed. Fortunately, I kept the original wheels. By this time, I did not want to go back to the Tysons, VA Service Center, both out of frustration with them and embarrassment. It was then I made an appointment with the Rockville, MD Service Center. I had COSTCO swap my new wheels and tires with the original ones. I then went to Tesla – Rockville for the alignment and went back to COSTCO to have them sway the wheels back for me. The Rockville Service Center did a great job .
I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…
In recent months, I suppose that Tesla Service has gone though some sort of re-organization. Attempts to call and speak to an actual person in the Service Center go in vain. On 21 May 2019, I ended up using my mobile app to report an issue with the driver’s seat being loose and sounding squeaky, the driver’s side DRL appearing dim and yellowish and the AC sounding like an airplane taking off when it’s really hot outside. At that time, it was scheduled for Rockville. On 10 June 2019, I used the app to add that the previous problem now appears on the passenger side, but to a lesser extent. Rockville could not be chosen as my preferred Service Center. What happened to my original service request?
I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…
Today, 29 June 2019, I am at my Dad’s condo, taking care of him. He’s 95 with dementia, (Mom passed away last week at 93). If I need to take his somewhere, KITT’s huge trunk can easily handle his wheelchair with no problem. Anyway, I went to get something I had in my trunk and it wouldn’t open. Actually, it unlatched partially, but did not open fully. You can’t close it either. I tried using the key fob, app and manual latch, without success. I had the idea of using the emergency release in the trunk. So, I removed my third-party rear armrest, (who was the genius behind the design of the Model S rear seat?)… Folding the seats down, I was able to remove the items in the trunk...

Elon deletes Twitter... or does he? FSD as a referral award... or is it? And white is now the free color.
