I don’t treat cars as pretend appreciating assets, I’m very well aware that cars depreciate in value as soon as you drive them off the lot

Tesla’s Storing Unsold Inventory In An Abandoned Mall Parking Lot

“No, You Can’t Use An Amazon Adapter To Charge Your Car At A Tesla Supercharger”

I’ve been Supercharging for 6 years, much of that time on the new 250 kW chargers, and I’ve personally never even noticed the handle to be warmer than ambient temperature. Thus I’m a bit skeptical of the claim of 2nd degree burns

NACS aka J3400 is now an SAE standard that any manufacturer and supplier can use.

I’ve only used CCS one time (Polestar 2 in Los Angeles), and having been used to Supercharger I did find that the cord was so thick it took effort to rotate it around, and it definitely took the force of one hand, maybe even helping with my other hand, to get it to click into place. Versus Supercharger which has a…

So much of this comes off as anti-Tesla, but why is it Tesla’s fault that Ford and Kia are continuing to sell cars with outdated charge ports? I disagree with so much of this article.

Once production ends this fall, if you want an American sedan, you’re gonna have to buy a Cadillac

My 5 minutes spent in photoshop. Not perfect but I think definably improved

Agreed. Bad take on Jalopnik’s part to suggest that the ATV driver running through a bunch of cyclists and pedestrians was the more desirable outcome than hitting a stopped police car. This isn’t exactly the trolley problem, because one of the outcomes is measurably worse than the other.

I would like to see some expert level journalism by trying this same stunt with a variety of other cars, with the finger the same distance from the hinge

Awesome. With any luck your kids were born just at the right time where they might not even need to ever drive a gas car unless it’s for hobby reasons.

They’re also good at long periods of driving since the range is fairly equivalent to bladder sizes. But I don’t really think that many people rent a car and then go on a road trip. I would think most renters land at an airport, make a bunch of short trips for a few days, then return it.

Not even!

That is typically how all 0-60 times are calculated

The wild part about the 200k club, is that with the fleet average MPG for cars and trucks, at today’s price for various gas octanes you’re spending $22,000 to $34,200 just on gasoline to get there.

thankfully drones are here to save the day

My OEM all-season Model 3 AWD tires lasted 30k miles, which I’m guessing isn’t too far off of my previous cars.

If I recall the original reasoning was that Tesla was not a licensed electricity utility in most states, so they were charging you for the parking by the minute and the charging was free. One of those great loopholes. But it seems to universally (or at least from the 15 or so states I’ve traveled in) made the switch…
