I can’t wait for this car to be released next year!

I’d be curious to hear about the specifics of this. JD Power does, indeed, give out a lot of awards. If you’re not familiar with how they’re distinguished from each other, or what each one means, it’s very easy to assume they’re for something else.

Ford doesnt get any love for huge profits yet tesla gets love for......um well i still dont know...because of the green spin? and carbon credits?

Works for Tesla, too!

I agree with you for the most part, and I’d advocate for more education on the subject more than just buying snow tires. So many people get AWD options on vehicles when buying snow tires would probably be cheaper and offer better traction, not to mention fuel saving of a more efficient drivetrain. That or understand…

The disposable car culture doesn’t help, either. When so many insist on leasing (especially) or buying a new car every three years or so, buying a whole second set of wheels and tires to get maybe 2.5 winters out of them seems silly to most of those people.

It’s only an inch of snow, but IT’S THE WORST INCH OF SNOW EVER!!!!111

my street doesn’t even get plowed if there is that little on it

Those who regularly back up trailers don’t really need the assistance stuff...it does make it much easier for those who rarely back up trailers though.

So, Tesla turned to a German company for an over-engineered, overly complicated solution and expected it not to have reliability issues? I’m not a lawyer, but is there such a thing as criminal naivety or such that Hoerbringer can counter sue for?

But we’re limited by our source for fossil fuels. Our involvement in the Middle East is far and away due to cheap oil, and Obama’s driving point about the limitation of fossil fuels comes from leaving our energy requirements vulnerable to outside forces.

If only we had a spare $4 TRILLION lying around. If only. Didn’t we just spent that looking for something we never found.

I think the key benefit of going electric with vehicles is that almost anything can be used to generate electricity. Whatever the future fuel turns out to be, or not be, it will generate electricity. It is a sort of universal translator for energy. Coal, ng, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, oil are all currently used to…

Ford really has a thing for photographing cars from that perspective where the camera is practically sitting on the floor. I know it’s their trademark, but I wish they’d stop doing that because it’s really not flattering to the cars at all.

I sat here staring at this image for a good minute waiting for it to fully load. Old 56K expectations of slow loading images die hard apparently.

Not sure about what the masses want, but the fewer cars that have a faulty unit placed firmly between the steering wheel and driver’s seat, the safer we’ll all be. People suck at driving.

Your projections would make the initial Model S close to a decade old, which these days is pretty ancient. About the only vehicle I can think of that has that long of a model run is the tacoma, which seems to have a decade between redesigns. Then again, maybe it isn’t as pressing seeing as the Model S is still a very…

I love Tesla but one thing I see as a potential future problem is in how quickly they can come up with model redesigns. The Model S probably has another 2 years in its current design before a redesign would be expected per your typical model life expectency. Seeing as how it takes Tesla years just to come out with a…

Better margins. They’re wanting to see a path to profitability, which is still somewhere in the future for Tesla. The thing is, it’s getting harder and harder to call Tesla a startup when they’ve sold a lifetime total of vehicles in the low six figures and have been around for over a decade. (Additionally, almost any…

They are three years late on their luxury minivan?
