Herbert is not going anywhere until 2025...per his contract

[@houleronald]

i was in Tesla service center in Laval, Quebec last week. Had to change the windscreen (hit by a rock from very bad Quebec roads). The service was INCREDIBLE! In app appointment. In app appraisal. In app confirmation. ONLY 2 hours to take care of the install. Then in app payment. The best service ever. And i know what i am talking about. I was a General Sales Manager for 10 years at a Toyota dealership.

[@Tomm9y]

So important to get the customer needs met. I have remained at a Volvo dealership for more that 20 years over many serial and concurrent vehicles. High standards of serivice and work have been a vital component of ownership. Perhaps as an owner I have more to care about than the lease/hire drivers, we all have our perspectives.

[@ccibinel]

Elon should find the time to take care of his health. The companies are not in any immediate danger of going bankrupt and if he is going to live long enough to land on mars he needs to ensure his health is a bigger priority. His 100+ hour work weeks were amazing and essential for getting Tesla and SpaceX to where they are now but he needs to slow down and address his health at this point.

[@StephBougie]

I know everyone's experienes will vary, but I have a 2020 Model 3P delievered Dec 2019, and 2.5 years in 58,000 miles, my biggest issue is a chip in the windshield. I'm not taking away from people who've had issues, but I love this focus on service! I think with their first principles thinking they can 10x the service experience in the next decade. Thanks for what you guys do Zach and Jessy!

[@anthonydyer3939]

I made a day 2 service request on my 2021 M3LR. Windscreen washers weren’t dispensing. I phoned up, they diagnosed hoses that weren’t fitted, due to me confirming a puddle underneath the car. Turned out it wasn’t faulty, I had to “double push” the button at the end of the stalk. The manual didn’t make that clear. As for the puddle: just condensate from the evaporator. A classic “Problem exists between seat and steering wheel”. The point is, how many service requests are actually due to not reading the manual properly?

[@soucyno1]

I want to see triangle solar panels. They could use these in places like those upright panels going up and down the stairs or in places where you don’t have the roof space for the full panel. It would make it easier to actually be able to use your full roof.

[@plague6079]

Thanks Guys for all the GREAT info! Thanks to you, I'm in trouble again with my wife! Yes I purchased a Model 3 in 2018. Now after watching your video on Aptera, I have placed an order! Aptera just make sense in so many ways...at least thats what I think ;)

[@Dirgecaller]

we do solar...i love this idea. i've been wanting to put solar shades on my garden to give plants some shade. while i have a solar system, i don't fancy trying to work with it. If I could take panels like this, and just plug them into an outdoor outlet, that would be amazing. shade for plants, power for computer

[@davidarifine]

Woohoo! My first community mail time contribution 🙌

[@mjgreenjr]

I'd be interested in seeing a breakdown on what TYPE of service was needed. I had a service call on my Model Y within the first 3 months but it was because I was stupid, not because there was anything wrong with the car. Luckily the tech explained what was making the noise (the tow eye in the frunk had popped loose and was rattling around in the frunk) and waved the service charge. I'm sure that counted as a service call but there wasn't actually a problem. I had just taken a speed bump too fast and popped the thing out of it's holder and had no idea what was making the awful noise whenever I turned. :)

[@ramblerandy2397]

24:37 If you remember, the late Jack Rickard estimated Oil/Gas companies to profit by $2.7B per day. And he was rounding down. So every day they can delay electrification results in another $2.7B. It's eye-watering stuff.

[@Luke-it5kn]

I have both a model X 2017 and model 3 serial # 7,4@@ the model 3 zero breakdowns in 4+ years "with the exception of a 12 V battery replacement" no break down just replacement "Free", the fit and finish is reasonable, technology off the charts, I love over the air updates, many of the new features are very useful not to mention enhanced safety. The model X breakdowns wiring harness in the steering column left me stranded in a traffic light the only significant issue in almost 5 years. If I lost my car I would purchase Tesla again. I recently took a 12 Hour nonstop road trip in 109° temperatures supercharging was convenient and accessible range with somewhat diminished in part because of the temperature and 80+ MPH speeds the cost was $21 per 250 miles of driving using supercharging huge savings versus a gas.

[@irishsausage6]

We just got our second EV, a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV. Very new but getting used to how it functions compared to our (3 y/o) Model 3. I'm very interested in seeing how this holds up long term and I'm already comparing the different functionality and what I wish Tesla would put in their vehicles and how GM needs to improve their stuff. But no more gas will ever be purchased by our household and that makes me very happy. Solar is next!

Greetings from a Nuevo Leon resident and fan of the show. Pretty interesting news piece. I wasn't aware of this!!!

[@daveturner6612]

My interaction with Tesla on Lawrence in Toronto has been absolutely top drawer. Communication was good, I was updated about parts, the work was done ahead of schedule and the car was on a destination charger when I collected it. Five Stars Plus.

[@bausHuck]

Wow. Thanks James. That small video on kW and kWh has helped me understand things a bit better.

[@hiravparekh8695]

There are no parts available so how we will get service ? So instead of focusing just on service they need to focus more on getting the parts

[@tillybailey9687]

As a truck driver, yes the saves 2 hours per trip , in regards to weight, customs, drug checks, passport checks for drivers, and actual wait time in line, behind other trucks.

Tesla service has my car since Friday noon. Tonight is Tuesday and no ETA yet. It's for in-warranty HVAC issue, plus annual break lube maint, and undercarrage repair (warranty doesn't cover). Should have taken one day really, but I'm still waiting. Same thing happened when I needed to fix the driver side wheel control arm squeek last year (was warranty covered). They did have many more service people than when I was there last year, but still too slow. Very friendly though.

[@MrShahramk61]

I have my model 3 for almost 3 years and 51k mile on it. I had just 2 Mobil service visit which was without any issues. Couldn't be any happier.

[@legostud]

Did you notice that the new supercharger design has the cord and handle swapped? The cord now starts on the left side which makes it long enough to reach non-Tesla charging ports on the other side of the vehicle.

After watching some solar roof installs by roofers they bought on board I image they learned a few things from these professionals to help them itterrate these tiles and thier installation processes. The best part no part and best process no process…to me there were a lot of complexities that needed simplification with these tiles.

[@benjaminarevalo9976]

Talking about tesla service, I have owned 2 2018 model 3's in which both I have never taken to get it serviced. My brother has owned a 2020 and a 2021 model 3 and they both have been in and out of service many times during the first year of ownership. This is true, their quality control needs to get better. The hassle of taking a car to a service center period is an inconvenience.

[@J4rvisUnit]

regarding the Tesla roof: Along with the limits on production, I heard that it is a distribution and certified installer problem. additionally, installer companies are backed up with standard solar panel installations and don't feel incentivized to switch their model. the distribution centers for areas like me (SW CO) are often across state lines (NM) and this causes all kinds of weird economic impacts. as for the installer certifications, there is an interesting piece regarding the nature of the installing company (electric company vs a roofing company). it seems silly but apparently it matters a lot regarding building codes.

[@J4rvisUnit]

also, a roof is 1 system and panels on your roof are 2 systems. the combination of both is a no brainer in my mind and actually a money saver

The Horse vs Car chart at 8:05 shows peak horse happening just as cars exceeded 5% of peak horse. Then cars did not surpass peak horse until ~13 years later. However, ~2 years after peak horse total horse power exceeded peak horse. During this time there were no gas stations and gas was delivered by wagon to cars where they were. With EVs, fueling is everywhere now. DCFC is the only thing that is lagging.

[@chrisheath2637]

We are getting close to 5% of EV adoption - people are already choosing to not buy ICE - we are probably past peak ICE production...(Legacy Auto are in denial...)

Just saw this episode, probably too late, but if Zach could ask about gull wing style full doors maybe with a sliding window ala race cars. I can’t wait for my vehicle, they are epic. I live in Oklahoma, so I’ll be able to drive it for three quarters of the year, but our rain doesn’t fall down, it falls at every other angle, sometimes sideways.

[@evroadtrips689]

Tesla doesn't have a Service problem they have a quality control problem. Most of the issues that the service centers are fixing are from the factory not from the cars getting older. They need to look at factory QC not at the service centers. Could Tesla improve the Service centers of course, but that's not going to fix the main issue.

[@justinweatherford8129]

Questions for Arcimoto 1) can we get a full door option (Kansas gets really cold and half doors just won't cut it) 2) is it legally considered a car or a motorcycle in Kansas and Missouri? (I don't have a motorcycle license) 3) will there be greater range options? (The current range won't get me through an entire work day working for DoorDash) 4) how long will it take to charge with a 110v outlet? (If I get stuck out of town with a dead battery I might want to know about how long I will be stuck there)

[@beachbum200009]

I can help you a little. You could also drop Aricmoto an email. They are working on making full doors and AC/heat too. I don't know when this will be ready for market. I know they are also working on the batteries. I don't know if this will up the mileage. As far as I know, right now, they aren't offering a larger battery pack as an option. 110V will take longer. I think for a full charge... around 8 hrs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Diess could start as head of Europe and gradually take on more responsibilities. Becoming CEO of Tesla within 3 years to free up Musk to focus on engineering would be a smart move. And Diess could focus on improving quality and service during those 3 years as production doubles each year.

[@threeseven7894]

A rock cracked my glass roof. There’s a service center actually 15 minutes away. However they lack equipment to replace the roof and explain I need to drive an hour away for the appointment. Not a crazy deal breaker, but a little annoying.

Zack, you requested feedback about Tesla Service Centers. I took delivery of a 2022 Model X Plaid on 12/31/21. I have owned the car for a total of 30 weeks. Unfortunately, my car has been at the Service Center for 14 weeks to correct paint and Falcon Door issues. In my case Tesla has demonstrated poor quality control, dysfunctional Center management and service . There is a severe lack of Supervisory oversight. Management hides behind their App and Service Center Valet drivers that serve as Service Techs. Reply if you are interested in my story .

[@cedriccease8385]

@nowyouknow … I heard about the balcony “plug-in” solar in your video, an excellent idea! So what I understood from you is that you just set it up and plug it into a wall socket because they have their own microinverters. How safe are these and are they even legal here in the US? The reason I asked is that your home is ALWAYS connected to the grid. If the power company needs to repair the grid and need to de-energize them (a power failure) all these solar panels will keep the grid energized since they are plugged into your wall socket. That could kill someone, like the repair people! So there may be more to this system, like a modification of your connection to the grid so that your home gets disconnected to the grid during a power failure. Even then, even if your home gets disconnected to the grid during a power failure, your PV system only generates so many Watts, with your home energized only by your balcony PV system it will mess up your appliances , like your fridge, because of the low wattage provided. It’s a whole can of worms …UNLESS, their balcony PV system DETECTS a grid (power) failure and automatically disconnects. If so, can you please verify this?

[@a_velis]

Tony Seba projects that the entire US could shift to 100% Solar, Wind, & Battery production for less than $2T. If we took the government subsidy per day of $16B and instead received it the US could have the money to deploy this renewable system well within 10 yrs time.

[@slyktech1860]

Twitter does not want to go through discovery for the trial.

[@my2cents395]

I may have this wrong but some USPS vehicles drive 7 miles per day. They do frequent stops, stopping and starting, and running when stopped or for heat or AC. A van such as the Ford Transit could do a whole week on one charge and if it had a solar roof or there was a solar wrap available it might not even need charging. If it had a bigger battery it could go one month on a charge. Not sure a Military contractor is the best choice to make a custom vehicle when a production vehicle is available.

[@chrisheath2637]

Why the f*** are they even considering ICE vehicles? it's a perfect use case for EVs. Oh, I know, LeJoy literally has his hand in the cookie jar - he owns shares in the company making those ICE vehicles, and they haven't even made an EV vehicle !

[@brunosmith6925]

There are many more reasons why Diess will not go to Tesla, than reason why he would. For one, his age (64 in October) so he's more interested in leading a quiet life - which is now well-funded given that he's probably been handed a very fat golden parachute. But more compelling is that he does not have much to offer Tesla than they either have already, or can buy much more cheaply. That Diess and Musk "respect" each other is no basis for a more formal relationship. As was mentioned on Autoline Daily, the reasons why Tesla will not take on Diess are the same reasons he got fired from VW for... While Diess has been a firm advocate of EV's, VW's EV programme (particularly the software venture) has been pretty diastrous under his watch. I've also heard that while Diess is no longer VW CEO, his contract (to 2025) is to be played out with Diess offering "consulting services" to VW. In reality, Diess's active participation in VW is over and the "consultancy" red herring is just a means to keep him away from competitors... I mean... who wouldn't take an annual paypacket of $10,000,000 and have no obligation to do any work? Why would Diess accept probably a similar package from Tesla, and then have the MASSIVE stress associated with it? No... Diess will quietly retire to a villa in Bavaria, or the Cote 'd Or, and chuckle to himself from the sidelines.

[@johndoh5182]

As far as Diess, I don't know. What I know is that companies in Germany are a lot different than companies in the US. They have a buy in from the employees where the employees are given a weight in decision making which doesn't work with American business leadership, and is partly why I never understood Tesla building a plant in Germany. So it's hard for me to understand how any of this Tesla in Germany is going to play out, regardless of what happens with Diess. I think at some point the expectation will be Tesla behaves like a German company in Germany and if Tesla doesn't operate that way I just don't know what the buy in will be from the workers in the long run. I don't think it will be "Oh you're an American company so you can feel free to do as you want because you know best". However, the mission of Tesla as far as making BEV is clear so that won't be questioned, but if Tesla's Agile style of program management sees people coming in and out the door, I know THAT part won't go well in Germany.

I sometimes think of kilowatts as kilowatt-hours per hour. That makes it easier to picture how fast the battery can charge, so 100 kwh/hr can fill up a 60 kWh battery in 3/5 of an hour (simplified idea but helps me understand the 2 interrelated terms). Hope this makes sense

VW extended his contract to 2025 and could block him leaving and keep Diess on Gardening Duty, and Diess is already in his 60s.

It will be a test of Diess character if he fights VW to get released from his contract and move to Tesla

Tesla servie is notorious. You guys should monitor some of the customer-run Tesla facebook groups. They talk about service issues all the time. For example, the group "North Texas Tesla Owners Group (Members)" has at least weekly posts about service experiences. You could get some data from those to help your analysis.

[@davidlemieux615]

One of the little mysteries of life is just how much profit are businesses making on their new EVs… I remember hearing a GM exec explain how the then new Bolt version was expected not to lose money. I suspect they are still losing money. I’m expecting that between cost of manufacturing AND warranty costs, they may not be making much money over at Porsche. The Taycan, which is one of their best selling series, may be on its way to being a big money loser. Porsche and the German government are pushing hard for e-fuel. If you can refer me to a profitability chart on EVs, I greatly appreciate it. I STRONGLY suspect many are losing money on their EVs but are willing to put up with this to try to protect their ICE share of the market.

[@evboy4287]

Taycan is already proftable today. Porsche expects their EVs will become more profitable than ICE from 2024 onwards.

I saw a report yesterday that Diess is staying with VW as a consultant, through the end of his contact (2025, I think). I am also pretty sure he would have a non-compete clause in his contract. So, I doubt he is going to any other company until at least 2025!

[@wildweav]

We do solar could be a game changer! Now of course all the testing has to be done such as durability and performance, but if it is enough to run my freezers and refrigerators during power outages that would be great. I would really need to see how that system works because I would not want it to back feed on to the grid.

[@beachcrow]

Hopefully it has a current sensor so if the outlet has no live grid power it would shut down. So great day to day for adding solar energy but useless in a power outage.

[@davedavenport8673]

I realize you likely shot this before we learned that Diess is under contract with VW until 2025 and VW does not usually break these contracts and prefers to just pay them to basically do nothing.
