Low teens, I don’t recall exactly. It was maybe 7AM and the sun hadn’t hit the car yet that morning. If we’d warmed it up for 15 minutes before we left, it probably would have been fine.

I didn’t do enough back-to-back testing, but range was still fine. Here’s a really good cold-weather range test, as Jason took his…

For what it’s worth, this car was charged on 110v for the entire time it was at our house. It’s slow, but if you aren’t driving 200 miles a day, it’s plenty to top up what you used while you’re sleeping. 

Yep, this car was set to that max. He just asked that I not override it. 

This happens far too often online as well. It’s a letdown when you filter for Manual Transmission and you find a promising car, only to look at the pictures of the interior and see PRND, and then you rage-close the ad.

Uggg that’s extra bad too because the tap shift isn’t even the right direction. Upshift should be back not forward.

So much for the EV fleet that would save so much money over the next decade+. Yes, I read the part that said some would be EVs, but what %? This will be a major fail if its not a significant number. Am I reading this right? They’re planning on removing ICEs and converting more to EVs down the road or just updating EV…

Former engine designer here:

“This incident could have had a much worse ending”

(Airline pilot here if you have questions) Well, yes this is true, although trivially true of any incident. The danger shown here is that, unlike an engine failure which is a rather benign problem as long as it’s handled properly, the biggest threat is damage to…

I like and respect Matt, love his rally Porsche, but he is missing the full picture on Tesla.

2nd Gear: “If investing in the stock market is just another form of gambling, why not just, you know, go to a casino?”

That seems a tad cynical. They do sell cars, more every year, and emissions credits are a perfectly legit income steam, though at some point the rest of the industry will catch up to them and they’ll gradually lose that opportunity.

It’s that how the whole stock market works?

Neutral: I woke up this morning to a flooded upstairs bathroom and water leaking into the main floor and basement.

The category is called ‘Dependability’ and yet they claim the stereo is still where most complaints are still found.

There are people that seriously doubt the effectiveness of JD. Powdah’s surveys. Not all of them are Tesla drivers.

As a Red Seal mechanic, I’ll say: Listen to Jalopnik here. The chances of you damaging you windshield wipers pointing up? Slim to none. The chances of you damaging them from having them frozen to the glass? Probable.

Jalopnik just pushed the opposite opinion yesterday. Y’all need to talk: https://jalopnik.com/i-cant-believe-i-have-to-say-this-but-its-totally-fine-1846302894

It’s Nissan.  I’m guessing it’ll get a 1 star after the next round of tests.

Hopefully without people in them

Teslas sell well because, despite their flaws, they are better than the competition.
