    Bluetooth not being available in the beginning may be problematic though for the Model 3...
  2. oldshurst442
    I dont think FM will ever get the boot. Radio waves...anybody can access those...Radio Shack helps you build your own radio...the internet will go down...radio waves...can ALWAYS be transmitted and received... But the bolded part of your quote is all that I wanted to hear!!!
  3. oldshurst442
    Actually...I said that too...that it was stupid and hella weird for them not too offer this right away BECAUSE Teslas are a highly downloadable and internet friendly cars... so... And I could have used the wrestling gif that I always use....but Conan and the math equations in the background seem more appropriate in this case love you right back sweetie!

    Thank you for actually giving me an argument... But...Tesla offers free internet so...no need for bluetooth to use whether bluetooth is offered or not... Back to square one... But... @dfelt answered this further... So much for people wanting to move away from the FM talk, huh? That would be 3 more people joining in on the fun... Well...2 with actual responses and 1 to bitch about it...

    No...it was NOT answered... The MAIN point that I want to say is that the Model 3 NOT having FM radio is NOT a big deal BECAUSE FM RADIO is NOT a go-to medium for music anymore...PEOPLE ARE TECH SAVVY IN 2017 THAT OWN AND USE OTHER INTERNET RELATED MUSIC MEDIUMS THAT FM RADIO TENDS TO BE SECONDARY!!! SURE ITS STILL USED!!! BUT...NONE OF YOU WANT TO ADMIT THAT AND ALL OF YOU ARE STUCK WITH THE SEMANTICS ONE BLOODY QUESTION!!!! YOU THINK THAT IS FRUSTRATING??? TRY DISCUSSING SHYTE WITH SOME OF YOU WITHOUT THE BIASED BLINDERS ON AND WITHOUT THE STUPID SEMANTIC IDIOCIES!!!

    I dont see you admitting that FM radio is not that relevant...so..no. Maybe you dont believe what I said...but THAT dont mean it aint true what it is that Im saying...so... https://hbr.org/2016/12/how-streaming-is-changing-music-again There is all kinds of info there....and if one realizes what that means... http://www.ifpi.org/news/IFPI-GLOBAL-MUSIC-REPORT-2017

    Some people say that the US has caused a lot of problems for them in their homelands...(and not necessarily exclusively the OPEC countries...other countries...NATO countries...) because of this oil...control... I dont mean anything by this statement....just letting you know that there is always two sides to a coin... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ https://lecircuitelectrique.com/welcome Quebec has a project where Hydro-Quebec has partnered with Quebec businesses to establish charging station circuits at their place of business....the consumer shops...his car charges... at hardware stores Reno-Depot and Rona Grocery shopping at Metro grocery stores or eating at St-Hubert restaurants all across the province. Or simply on a street or highway rest stop or at a shopping mall parking lot or government building of some sort. We started off big...like in California...but the Parti-Quebecois was elected and stopped the Liberal Party of Quebec's progress on that ...but 3 years ago ago the Liberal Parti of Quebec got re-elected and so the project got another boost. We are fast catching up to the West Coast again and the people of Quebec are embracing all this...

    I would agree. I saw a new Honda Fit this afternoon on the road...and I immediately saw the Chevy Bolt in it... Eerily alike... I also saw the same similarities with the Nissan Leaf... And the 2017 Versa Note... So yeah...all these little cars share the same attributes... The Bolt looks just like its sub-compact (CUV if you wanna go there) brethren...
  9. oldshurst442
    1. Yes! I would even say "Damn phoquing right they should have!" 2. And I could agree with this! I would even say "Damn phoquing right they have a loooong way to go!" Well...maybe it was answered...maybe it was not... If you and @ocnblu could admit that FM radio is not as a relevant music medium that it once was...even falling LOWER on the relevant scale than it did when MTV was introduced in the 1980s (obviously MTV is nothing now and FM radio bounced back by the 1990s when MTV decided to give us Bling That Car with that rapper or whatever it was called and Jersey Shore)...then and only then will my question will have been answered....
  10. oldshurst442
    Yes! But there are other avenues to get/listen to music...in 2017...and one buying such a downloadable vehicle because people in 2017 are comfy with internet related stuff and KNOW that Teslas are highly internet friendly vehicles and wouldnt feel constricted if in the beginning FM radio was not available to them...and in 2017...FM is not the 'end all, be all' of new music releases...or the go-to medium to listen to your fave diva pop star...as it was say in...1987..or in 1977...or in 1967... But even if this happened in say 2007...not really that big a deal either... Its a hella weird and kinda stupid...that FM aint gonna be available for the short term...because Teslas are sooooo incredibly internet friendly...but not so much of an apocalyptic event for an owner or potential onner of a Model 3 that @ocnblu or anybody else wants to make it sound like it would be... So...I repeat...who in the phoque in 2017 still really listens to FM radio?
  11. oldshurst442
    It seems like you are the one with the...um...girlie issues... Your reality is not looking past your nose...
  12. oldshurst442
    Get within the times, dude. From 1964... Its 2017...
  13. oldshurst442
    That my friend just proves to me you aint that much of a musicophile... You could wax poetic all you want about your 88.7 wxpn...but it means nothing to me as if you really enjoyed music...you would have other avenues to explore music...it aint the 1970s or 1980s anymore to have bumper sticker radio station call numbers on your car!!! Its a by-gone era, dude!
  14. oldshurst442
    Well...we got CHOM 97.7 FM in Montreal...ROCK-N-ROLL But... I got a little gizmo like that...that has about 400 songs on it... From disco, to 90s dance, to 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s all kinds of rock and soul and surfin' and doo wop and punk and hair metal and bubble gum and psychedelic and British Invasion and and rock-a-billy, to Greek, to French to love songs to all kinds of music really!!! Downloaded from apps from Youtube or straight from my own CDs... I dont use Onedrive or iCloud or streaming stuff...but I know it exists... Artists themselves dont do the record company/FM radio station no more!!! So I ask again...who the phoque uses FM radio in 2017?
  15. oldshurst442
    True.. But... 1. I never said "nobody listens to".... I merely asked a question.... Who the phoque listens to FM radio in 2017? Pinpointing to the fact that this device has evolved Which I owned BTW...and to boot... In 1986...my dad bought 1986 Chevrolet Celebrity with AM radio only...no cassette deck... In 1986...FM radio/cassette was still an option... Think about that for awhile... In the late 1960s...FM radio became a thing with the youth...STEREO was THE advantage... This was in 1986 and FM radio was still an option in cars... Joplin, Hendrix had come and gone...Presley died... Kiss was no longer that popular in 1986... 1986...Top Gun was THE blockbuster movie...But Michael Jackson's Thriller was sooooooo old news... Hell...even the Walkman was old news... And sooooo much groundbreaking FM music had passed us by from the late 60's to the mid '80s yet in the Celebrity for 1986...FM radio was an option...and that Walkman...only carried about 10 songs... iCloud and USB sticks and better Walkmans but just as passé technology in MP3 players exist today in that I dont think that we should be complaining... What we SHOULD be complaining about is the fact that that center screen is the ONLY thing that controls the Model 3's stuff...and THAT is a tragedy and travesty!

    https://www.economist.com/news/business/21728980-its-government-developing-plan-phase-out-vehicles-powered-fossil-fuels-china-moves https://electrek.co/2017/08/15/germany-going-electric-ban-on-petrol-diesel-cars-amid-auto-industry-scandal/ https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/06/france-ban-petrol-diesel-cars-2040-emmanuel-macron-volvo http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/norway-to-ban-the-sale-of-all-fossil-fuel-based-cars-by-2025-and-replace-with-electric-vehicles-a7065616.html And more countries to come.... So....even if you feel there is no consumer demand for EVs...which Im sure you could debate this quite successfully...because it APPEARS to be the case but not really...but its OK...because... automakers are being FORCED to change...it dont matter!!! You may die and never get to experience the EV...stubbornly as it may be... YOU being that ass in that pic there!!! And I get it...you would rather be Juan in that same pic trying to get that donkey to take you to work rather than you ever riding in an EV...which is absolutely fine...but I guarantee you that your kids will ONLY be buying EVs no matter how hard YOU convince them not too... Remember when smokers said that their right to smoke in bars, commercial flights, restaurants etc. was being violated? Well...same shyte applies here! (social pressures is where Im getting at) And the manufacturers have to comply because they will have NO CARS to sell (in China...largest car market) and so will go bankrupt anyway...regardless if they lose $9000 on a Bolt today! Just try to look a tiny wee bit further than your nose!!!

    In 2017...hell...in 2012...hell...in 2010...hell...in 2001 Do you really need a radio...FM radio... But then again...you prolly think Jobs was a shyster too... But seriously... Why in 2017...we think that a DELAY in a FM radio downloaded program is a negative? Like I wanna know why? I mean...who the phoque in 2017 still listens to FM radio? I get it that you are an old fossil and asking you to use the clouds or the Onedrive thingy is an anathema for you...but you dont own at least a music player or USB key? I even own a USB key!!! I aint a spring chicken myself either!
  19. oldshurst442
    One fad I hope comes back Ill even take these instead But Lucid Motors I think, has read my mind (or is it answered my prayers?) These kinds of things please me. Small things amuse small minds, I guess!

    The Tesla Model S does NOT look out of place in back of a newer, fresher styled EV from Porsche. The Model S is on its 6th year of sale, and to some it always had soulless styling and to others the Model S has simply became out-dated... Well, I am here to tell you all that the Model S in that picture does not feel THAT old... Im more than interested in the performance stats for sure!!! You know...0-60, quarter mile, and especially range!

    ^^^ Still nicer and sexier than the Panamera..

    Im more pissed about the center touch screen being the all central control center for everything rather than the lack of FM radio or even bluetooth. I could go around the lack of FM and bluetooth. iCloud and USB key music library could hold me over... And while driving while talking on the phone is dangerous and garners you a ticket...it aint less dangerous using bluetooth...its just legal lethality...but one could still use his phone...not recommended...but hey...not saying I will be doing this...I dont even use bluetooth phone connectivity and I dont talk and drive NOW....alls Im saying is...an individual other than myself could still use his actual phone while driving... So...for me...it is ALREADY a deal breaker for making the center touch screen the center control panel that controls virtually everything with no other physical buttons doing the simple things... GM announced 20 new alternate fuel models including 2 new EVs...GM wont be the only ones either... If Tesla dont fix this idiocy...Tesla wont be getting my money...

    I always enjoyed Tom Petty's voice! Ill miss him!

Good times I had with your music spanning from the early 1980s to the early 1990s! Thanks!

    ^^^ I shed a tear! (For Tom Petty)

    Yup...and the manufacturer is giving you an arbitrary value for the car at the end of the leasing term...for you and for the manufacturer's benefit. And in essence...the manufacturer dictates somewhat the value of its used cars somewhat...and THAT is why I say biased and marketed bullshyte resale value... And in turn, this could hamper or help the value and perception of its new cars... Which is why many view Mercedes and BMW going down a worm hole with their leases, their focus on going down market and the sheer amount of useless models in non-existent niches...
