They are up 30% from 2015 sales. I don’t know why people say they aren’t selling

Funny enough I think the opposite is more likely to be true.
As more and more excess solar comes on line during the day EVs will soak up the power in order to flatten the demand during the day (reducing the need for steep ramping in the evening when the sun goes down and everyone goes home).
With panel prices…
Old rich men touting ignorant opinions on media platforms with large consumer bases is detrimental to progress.
No, this was actual gold, not paint
I operate the phone entirely through the dash interface. In the case of my SYNC3, that means access to Pandora radio, text messages to speech, and voice activated calling. Generally the phone stays in my pocket for the whole drive, or charging in the cubby in front of the shifter. Reading back I may have been…
Only non rechargeable lithium batteries have elemental lithium that would react with water.

You aren’t going to extinguish the fire. Best you can do is use a lot of water to cool things down and prevent further thermal runaway.
“If the high voltage battery…
I’m calling a bit of bullshit on both accounts. These two things are not holding the EV back, and the main reason is that these standards don’t exist for current ICE cars.
What Elon Musk is saying is correct, but he is not saying it as well as he can.
Not necessarily. The receptor for the headlights in a human’s eyeballs. Do you know that the radar receptor is eyeball height in the Tesla cars? If it isn’t, if it is lower in or near the bumper, then the headlights could easily catch something that the radar system could miss.
What makes you think it is a hardware-related blindspot and not a software -related blindspot? As I understand what Elon is saying, the system currently ignores a lot of the radar signal from large objects above the horizon because they could simply be road signs or overpasses that appear lower than they are due to…
No they wouldn't. Not having the legal recourse to do something about your neighbor being a dick, doesn't mean the neighbor isn't still a dick.
Don’t do that. While his neighbors were being over dramatic, don’t pretend like you don’t understand why his trailer would be objectionable.
This is why I live in the city: suburban neighbors are the actual worst.
Only to stop you assholes who fly up from 2 miles back to squeeze into the space we left so we can stop without hitting you.
It is an autopilot. It guides the car but doesn’t actively evade obstacles, like airplane autopilot. Tesla has also been very clear about it from the start. And are very clear about it before the system can even be activated. It isn’t their fault if people misuse it, no matter what videos are out there.
You might as well ask the question about cruise control. It’s there relieve driver fatigue and improve quality of life. It’s not there so you can check your phone or take your eyes off the road. Tesla has been clear from the start that drivers must still pay attention and be ready to take over at any time. Before…
Just yesterday I was saying I’d go down with the Jalopship, and now today I want to sink it. Tesla isn’t the only car company that makes cars and “x.” So, while moving into the sustainable energy business may give you a reason to throw some of your hot air on its coolness, it won’t shift the fact that Tesla is still…
For those unaware, SawStop is a table saw (one of the simultaneously more dangerous and more commonly used power tools) that uses electrons, pyrotechnics, and magic to stop the saw blade near-instantaneously if you touch it with your fleshy bits. I’ve seen a live demo - it gave the “sacrificial” hot dog (used as a…
Isn’t Tesla suffering from a similar reason SawStop had such a hard time coming out? That people would end up losing fingers still because they relied too heavily on the system, and would blame the manufacturer instead of being responsible and safe like they should be?
