As someone who has the Tesla app on my phone, I can assure you that (as of a test I just did now) it does not check off any upgrades automatically when you navigate to the upgrades page.

As a Tesla owner, I must say, the Mach-E looks great. Better than any Tesla that isn’t a Model S.  And especially better than any Tesla crossover.  Nicer interior too.  If only Ford had access to a DC fast charger network on par with Tesla’s superchargers, I could totally see a Mach-E as our next family car.

Just a more regrettable version of the ‘new car smell’ that probably gives you cancer. When I get a new car, I try to park it in the sun as much as possible to try and speed up the chemical outgassing so that I can get past that stage of ownership.

Exactly.  Life is short, enjoy it some.  I put 25% of my income away for retirement, and then I don’t feel guilty for having fun with the rest.  A good piece of advice is that you can’t save yourself to wealth; it’s easier to add income.

What he just said in so many words was they don’t even have level 3 yet, and no timeline to get there.  To be honest, no current production Tesla is likely to ever see level 3, and it’s virtually guaranteed none of them will ever be capable of level 5.

Nah I just understand statistics better than you.

If it had anything legitimately to do with disabling the cars for safety, they could have just booted them.

The average may be 5%, but that’s skewed heavily in favor of the high end outliers.  For the median driver, it’s a lot closer to 0% than 5%.

In the real world, the fraction of driving spent on road trips for a typical person is more like 0.0-0.5% and most people’s idea of a ‘road trip’ is a couple hundred miles. But what you get on the Internet is “every other week I make a 1000 mile trip so it won’t work for me.”

It’s a big bet. Good luck to them, at least they’re learning a lot of practical information about fuel cells either way.

They’re just making a bit, it doesn’t guarantee the rest of the world will agree. Their hope is the bet is right and they will have a lead in fuel cells, since they’re behind in BEVs. Maybe the gamble will pay off.

If you drive 8 hours, you are going approximately 500 miles. A stop at 250 miles to grab lunch sounds perfect.

Hell, looking at that picture makes me fondly remember the days when A pillars weren’t a foot wide.  Nowadays, A pillars routinely hide entire cars, people, etc behind them.  It’s ridiculous.

That’s one of those things that sounds great, but then you get some jerk riding your ass in traffic flashing his brights, angry that you won’t get over, when you’re just stuck behind the next guy in line. 

There’s a Tesla service center about a half mile from where I am sitting, and it is in the same building as the sales department. I imagine that is a pretty typical arrangement.  A dealer by another name.

And the joke is that there is no such blue.  On your monitor it looks much lighter and brighter than in reality.  It’s actually a very dark blue, not striking at all.  I really wanted a blue P3D based on the renderings on the web site, but ended up with gray because the real world blue is so terribly misrepresented.

As a Tesla owner, I wholeheartedly agree.  Aside from being completely irrational, when Musk tweets shit like this is makes me want to sell my car and get something else.  If not for the fact that I rather like it.  How I wish they’d get a CEO that wasn’t such a scumbag.

Been sayin this a while, especially on the Tesla forums when the Cybertruck comes up and someone suggests it’ll be good for towing.  Everybody assumes the range hit will be similar to ICE, while completely forgetting that the upside of how inefficient gasoline is means that the range hit isn’t as absurd.  With an EV…

That is one goddamn huge gas tank.
