[NA]Returning electric rental cars "full"?

[Velocity173]

I nerded out for a few months after I got the Tesla, but over time it became just another gadget to get something done. A big shiny toaster. I enjoy working on ICE cars, just like I like servicing my airplane engine, but a good EV is such a practical and hassle free experience if your situation is right for it.

You know how to get into service mode? I showed the paramedic at work the other day how to get into his M 3 service mode. Lot of neat things in there. Disregard the crapload of alerts that come up though. If they’re serious faults, they’ll show up while driving.

Is X-P100d a Tesla l33t-speaky warning?

Nauga,
who done blowed up

X is the model designator. Musk obviously has an infatuation with the letter X. P because it’s the performance version (0-60 2.9 secs). 100 is the KWh battery. D is because it’s dual motor. I believe it’s the only Tesla in which all versions of the model are dual motor.

No, never heard of that. Man, you are the master.

Yeah, and it goes way back. His pre-PayPal electronic money transfer service was X.com. When he merged with PayPal the PayPal name survived but, for many years, X.com redirected to PayPal.com.

When you are the richest man in the world, you can have all the infatuations you want. Even Amber Heard, if you really want to test the limits of the crazy-hot matrix.
