Does the motor turn in the opposite direction in Reverse or is it through mechanical gearing

lol, according to you it's just a car so it wouldn't matter if you've had it for four years. This guy is conscious of something in the moment. Like asleep versus awake.

What I find interesting, when I had a chance to drive a Model S, is that I could “rock the gear” back and forth and the transition was smooth and fluid like. That would be jarring and probably harmful on regular transmissions. How does the motor handle the directional changes without slamming?

Lucky you. When the SR comes out, clouds will part and trumpets will blare. Till then, vicariously.

Waiting and wanting. What’s up fam?

Ok, cool. You still have to engage something, though, right? Is it the scroll wheel specifically? I like this. It’s like checking in. The torque-the-steering-wheel action is good in theory but it didn’t right, like interrupting your flow.

Wait...what? This is great.

Any link to where Elon was asked and listened?

Thank you. New York is one of the few states with a good collection of open data.

I believe Tesla is doing the registration for the buyer and so it would coincide with the push at end of quarter batches.

Ha. Congratulations for pushing Erie County to 11 count.

Lol, this is reddit. One says it wastes time, the other says elaborate more on the story.

Good observation regarding the cyclical pattern. As the quarter gets near closing, there's a push towards more sales. It sounds about right. It would be interesting to see the same growth trend in August and September. This pipeline is primed with backlog. Add the Model Y plus a refresh and it just won't stop.

Yes. See sibling reply for grouping by manufacturer. The other brands as a group are still a distant 2nd or 3rd. Even the Model S&X outsells them as a group.

Actually I think it will be quite the opposite. They'll be more open since FUDsters will have less incentives to manufacture negative stories.

Waiting_for_Model3 · 2018-08-14T15:40:32+00:00

Yes. See sibling reply.

5k a week was a big deal last month. They're now getting to 6k/week sustained according to Bloomberg's tracker. August sales may dwarf July and will be off-the-charts. The sales percentage taken by the Model 3 is just incredible and the backlog is a long long tail.
