How committed are you to these Dolphins as the worst team ever deliberately foisted upon the nation?
That Musk puts more stock in the in-car telemetry than having someone from the track look at that telemetry and say, “looks legit”?
Tesla haters and fanboys really need to stop reading too far into tweets.
The swinging even extends to the placement of the photo’s. McQueen is slightly below Newman, but he does get the eye-catching bolded ballyho above his image. That poster is a master class in sating hollywood ego’s.
Company 'A' and 'B' both sell $100k of product. 'A' makes $80k profit and calls it a day. 'B' takes the same profit and puts all of it into R&D and expansion, leaving no money leftover. Which company is better managed?
I’m a Model 3 owner, and Locutus does have a point, but some more detail is needed. “250 miles range is plenty for most people.” I would add: “assuming most of their driving is around town.” There is no question for day-to-day driving (commuting), range really isn’t an issue and electrics have ICE cars beat hands-down…
“Musk really out to make them available to other cars, but I totally get why he doesn’t”
It's curious that you missed the point of the article you linked to: Tesla=Apple in our market, Nissan=Android for rest of the world. The difference is that Tesla is aggressive about expanding and dominating the EV race.
This. I never really considered what an advantage the supercharger network is until I SERIOUSLY started shopping for an EV. Yes, there are great deals on Bolts right now, and I prefer the hatch shape, the range is fine for me, I have another car for road trips, and I don’t want the “baggage” that comes with owning a…
What was the difference between the route it gave you to charge, and an optimal route for an ICE vehicle?
Interesting article in that it was unbiased and informative. Basically Nissan is choosing quantity over quality, with a massive manufacturing advantage that is being utilized to the most. Still, the Koreans have a better product, and Tesla specifically is light-years away tech wise. Good products sell, and Tesla will…
Tesla should keep putting bigger better batteries in their products and continue to make the legacy automakers look as incompetent as possible. The only other major player taking EV seriously is Ford, and I believe they will be the first one to actually not embarrass themselves once the inevitable comparison to Tesla…
You’re not mentioning that the 80% you charged to was your own decision. The car tells you what it needs to charge to in order to get to the destination. Maybe in V10 it will allow us to set an arrival %.
I call BS. Audi is taking the most current version of Model S and saying that it has more battery so what do you expect. But the reality is that the e-Tron has worse numbers even when comparing to the older versions of S or X that had battery capacity parity. Tesla has better overall energy management, period.
And excuses, apparently.
I’ve always thought the “range anxiety” was a bit of a red herring. 250 miles range is plenty for most people, assuming you can count on it.
...appearing to relish her role in one of the last great disaster pictures of the 1970s
Let’s recap:
Well, hard reality is, that an electric car is a bit more complicated than an electric shaver with wheels. In fact the development costs for a BEV car are almost on par with the development of an ICE car (if you don’t want to make a Franken-BEV by using an ICE-plattform and shoving the batteries and electric motors…
