What about the ones sold to customers after the delivery event then? For example this one with a California “CYBRTES” plate for a customer at the OCDetailing wrap shop.

Is it legal to sell a pre-production car to the public? It’s not just the 10 or so from the delivery event, more people have began picking theirs up. I’ve watched a couple on YouTube, like this auto detailer who documented a customer picking theirs up at a normal Tesla store in Texas

As far as I’m aware, at least for now, non-Teslas won’t have plug-and-play and will still need to route payment info through an app to start the transaction, so while it probably will be more reliable, it won’t make the other charging providers obsolete. I have definitely noticed that charging rates (especially for…

Today, a good way to see what stations your non-Tesla vehicle will get access to is to check out Supercharge.info and set the filter to only show chargers with 250 kW or greater speeds (older chargers can only do 150).

Forbes had an article in late November that it was expected to be 9%, up from 7.3% last year.

Last summer I took a 28 day road trip visiting 10 European countries, about half of what this trip entails, but it cost less than half of this for two people (instead of per person). So they must be getting quite the profit from selling these trips!

Here’s the list direct from the original source, updated for 2024:

You can blame a couple decades of American buying habits for that. Once the marketing departments convinced people that you needed an AWD crossover to achieve safety for your children, soon after came the death of the coupe, sedan, and hatchback

RE: 1st gear:

Power steering and steer-by-wire are two completely different things. Steer-by-wire allows the vehicle to turn at drastically different rates depending on speed or other software settings, since there is zero mechanical linkage on the steering column. Most vehicles, the steering wheel lock to lock you have to rotate…

1. VW and Stellantis will adopt the NACS electric charging standard.

Absolutely agree. But is it a little cheating to say that Jalopnik will post one negative article per day? that’s just history repeating itself

Due to the steer by wiring, tight turning circle, and exterior cameras including the front camera, seem to make it actually easier to drive than you’d think for it being a RAM 1500 sized truck.

I was thinking it looked much more like a Porsche Taycan EV, but without the weird droopy eyes

You mean besides the 400 to 660 civilians on the same side of the door as the person(s) with the loaded gun(s)? Having hundreds of hostages is a pretty good way to get them to open up the door

While I was surprised by some of the predictions, a fair amount were so wrong, which goes to show that if anybody could reliably predict the future, we would be rich.

It sounds like someone trying to describe a Fiat 500e over the phone, but without specifying any proportions, and the person writing down the nodes wrote it as if it was a full sized SUV
