tl;dr My Tesla, which is 11 months old is getting an update to increase its range from 310 miles to 325 miles. And increasing peak power by 5%. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:00 23
- Wait, they're closing most of their stores? -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:21 20
  - Yes. Moving completely to on-line ordering only. Which is how most of the US had to order anyway - TWuG Feb 28, 15:26 8
    - Where do you service them? -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 15:34 2
      - A lot of "service" is done via wifi. Physical service centers are around. (We have one here.) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:46
      - For most issues they will send service techs to meet you at your home, your work, or some mutually agreed on place. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:37
    - Yeah, I'm extremely annoyed because we were supposed to get a Tesla store here soon. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:28 4
      - Hmm, $49,650 is getting close to our parameters. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:36

        If you really want a test drive, jump on a Tesla community group through the Tesla forums, or on Facebook, or through Twitter. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:40
  - *googles* Good God, that's some spectacular PR to bury a lede that negative. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:22 10
    - I'm pretty sure you must have missed how Tesla has operated from the beginning. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:30 3
      - No, I've definitely noticed the misleading PR. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:32 2
        
        What's misleading? -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 15:34 1
        
        See below re: MOST STORES CLOSING!!! -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:36
    - It's a FEATURE -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 15:25
    - Yeah, that was my biggest takeaway from that. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 15:24 4
      - I just love how casually those three words get dropped in. It should be like alarm sirens, "MOST STORES CLOSING!!!" -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:27 3
        
        There's only like 80 stores. Updates are done OTA, or they come pick up the car. - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:45
        
        Why? The vast majority of their sales never happen in the stores. There are/were only 80 or so in the US total. Another 120 in the rest of the world. - TWuG Feb 28, 15:44 1
        
        There are (currently) 79 Service Centers, too. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 15:51

  - That escalated quickly. -- nm - David Feb 28, 14:44
- They're already pretending they haven't told the Dark Phoenix story before, so what's wrong with reusing Emma Frost? -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 14:35 1

  - +20 SB Points -- nm - Strongbad, Astronauts Champion Feb 28, 14:59
  - I like a loose egg on toast, but the idea that "an egg makes every dish better"? No. An egg on a burger makes it taste like an egg. dumb. -- nm - Max Feb 28, 14:39 1

  - Screencasts and conference calls. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 14:15
  - (I'd say the consensus of our musician friends like Shure microphones.) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 14:11 1
    - Shure is the standard for live performance. For recording people use different kinds. It does depend a lot on the purpose. My daughter uses this - pmb Feb 28, 14:18

- Is this the funniest place for him to land? Or would it be like, Tampa. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 12:53 2
  - It's like someone saying "I'll only date a prince" and then marrying a dude who is assistant manager at Auto Zone. - David Feb 28, 12:56
  - I dunno, I figured if he landed in SF, he might walk 250 times, since there is no one else there to protect him. - groiny Feb 28, 12:55
I like how Social Media dropped Luke Perry like a bad habit and picked up on Bryce Harper -- nm - budice Feb 28, 12:48 1

        I am confident that Boras and his team will leak everything possible to swear that this deal isn't as comically bad as it is. - David Feb 28, 13:14 6
        
        Boros is saying he had shorter term deals worth 45 mil per -- nm - eag Feb 28, 13:44 2

        According to him Harper wanted one deal to end his career with -- nm - eag Feb 28, 13:53

        they extended what he was looking for by 3 years???? - groiny Feb 28, 12:24 13
        
        And wait until he has a bad year and the Phillies fans turn on him. Then it will become a living hell. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 12:44 6
        
        I am not even mad about the AAV, I am more irked by the years. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:47
        
        I ain't gonna lie, I wanted him here, but I would be pissed if we gave him that contract. - groiny Feb 28, 12:46 4
        
        Honestly I think its a bad deal for him too. - pmb Feb 28, 12:52 3
        
        well, given what we have seen this year, 25 million a year is going to be nothing in 5 years. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:54 2
        
        Exactly. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 12:57 1
        
        which I assume is how he got out of the Opt Outs, by them throwing in another 3 years. -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 12:58
