Would love to see where the powertrain and interior on this went. Surely it ended up some sort of kit car body swap

What I would worry is if someone (most people?) didn’t have their phone mounted within sight, and had to reach around in their pocket or somewhere to get it, which the officer could interpret as reaching for a weapon

When your game glitches and you’re clipping through the ground

Would’ve been interesting if he could’ve used his Google Location History on a computer to check where his phone was last spotted and the route it took to get there. I’m sure it probably operates on a buffer and due to catastrophic failure wouldn’t show the last moments before, but could’ve helped as long as it had a…

US spec Model 3 is the same control scheme as mine, just with wireless charging pad, USB-C instead of USB-A, better color depth cameras, and ultrasonic parking sensors are now camera based.

As of right now, since nobody else actually has NACS on their cars yet, the select stations that physically support the CCS connector in the US require that the driver initiate charging with their app. Tesla’s advantage is still that it’s just plug-and-play without an app. Unsure what the future holds in terms of…

Physical buttons in my Model 3:

I’ve daily driven a Model 3 for five years, and my wife just bought a Model Y.

I plunked down the money for a Model 3 just over 5 years ago and we enjoyed it so much my wife got a Model Y. The charging infrastructure is leaps and bounds better than it was back in 2018. We used to basically have required stops we would need to make on our 7+ hour drive to visit in-laws, but now options are…

Or the obvious answer, a Tesla Model 3 Performance

Out of curiosity, what taxes would a yacht owner pay if registered in the US? And what would that tax revenue be paying for?

I’m not sure how you can look at a $100k 2013 Tesla and a $35k 2023 Tesla and say that it’s not more budget friendly now. They simply could not have produced a profitable or even break-even car in this price category 10 years ago. Tesla is further ahead in the process than the others for sure, but should we just…

because that same incentive was available 4 years ago also

I would absolutely say it has something to do with Cybertruck production. My guess is that Giga Texas construction was completed too far ahead of Cybertruck design finishing that they needed something to do, so they just built Model Ys to kill time until Cybertruck design and tooling was completed. I would guess they…

So essentially the price has gone up over $5,000 in 4 years.

The Tesla 3 has not going down in price at all

It’s to lower the cost of BEVs to be reach artificial parity compared to ICE, so anyone in the market for a new car can afford then, since there wouldn’t be a price premium. Economy of scale is the only plausible way to achieve natural price parity, which you simply can’t get if nobody is buying them because they’re…

You always ask yourself “where are the police?” when stuff like this happens. In this case, they were literally driving by, while the guy was standing in the highway swinging a weapon, and they didn’t even notice.

1. Most buttons you use regularly are buttons in the 2017-2023 Model 3: PRND, cruise, cruise speed (+/- 1 and +/- 5), cruise distance +/- volume +/-, play/pause, skip +/-, wiper spray, turn signal, flash high breams, toggle high beams, open door, windows, seat/lumber, horn, hazards, overhead lights. With a couple…

I rented a Polestar 2 for a weekend trip to LA/San Diego recently. It was alright, but with the Model 3 being almost $20k less for basically matching specs it’s kind of a no brainer why one of them is selling a lot better than the other
