Have it be an option that can be flipped off then, for those who want to put in the minimal effort required. Traction control and stability control generally do have toggle switches.

Accelerator pedal cutoff when you touch the brake pedal.

In the US anyway, the wall box isn’t really doing much. It really is basically what you’re asking for but just just a bulkier shape than you’re expecting, because of the existing WiFi, existing in-line billing meter, load balancing / over-current protections that aren’t in a standard wall socket. The car itself has…

The whole system needs to be simplified. I think L2 charging energy management should be built right into the cars rather than requiring an external charging station. Instead of pricey charging stations that businesses have to buy and maintain, they just need a 240v outlet with some kind of lock that can be activated…

The Cybertruck is available to drive on games like Fortnite, but doing so could brick your progress

Haven’t watched the video, but just from the GIF, I think it’s as simple as he used the wrong word. Ben Sullins is not a car guy, he’s a business guy that has gotten into the EV/green space.

has an integrated retractable coiled plug to charge up. This is largely a solution for European-style charging where the user is expected to supply a cable to connect from vehicle to public charging infrastructure, but it could come in handy here in the U.S. as well, allowing the Panda (and future Stellantis EV…

The tax credit has a $55,000 MSRP cap. Since this starts at $61k, I don’t know how they expect it to qualify.

“The impetus behind the switch to NACS was not about the connector,” said Loren McDonald, CEO of the consultancy EVAdoption. “It was about the better charging experience across the Supercharger network.”

This sounds silly, but to a defroster button. Let me explain:

For reference, neither Subaru, Tesla, Honda, Hyundai nor Kia make any 4WD vehicles.

I’ve got a 2023 Model Y and used that FSD trial period (in April) to drive from New Hampshire to Florida and back (the way back was all in a single session minus charging stops), and I thought it was great. I didn’t notice really anything different about that vision-only system versus my 2018 Model 3 that has the…

There is a difference though between reporting on Tesla and reporting on Elon Musk. One is a publicly traded automotive company extremely relevant to an automotive news source. The other is a loud-mouthed person more relevant to whatever site has replaced Jezebel. I agree that Elon has plenty that can be reported on…

Not talking about drivetrain voltage. We’re talking about low voltage electronics systems, like the one where everybody else uses a 12v car battery for the radio, headlights, power seats, etc.

Would it really have been approved for street use by the US government if it didn’t have crumple zones and the necessary level of safety? The steering and other essential controls have double (or I think in some case triple) redundancies. With is more than an ordinary vehicle that does not have any redundancies.…

Are you exclusively referring to the mild hybrid system being 48v? That’s not what we’re talking about with Cybertruck at all. This isn’t a powertrain related thing.

It seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy that they hate when Elon is in the news, but they themselves are the ones who keep putting him in the news. Don’t want people talking about Elon? Just stop talking about him and let him fade out of the automotive news cycle.

Autopilot is included for free with every Tesla since approximately 2019. That includes the $35,000 Teslas.

As someone who has been on this very website for well over a decade, I’m indeed very well aware how deep the anti-Tesla biased reporting has descended to, often citing blatantly factually incorrect material. I would be curious of one point, if you had one to give. I’ve watched a few partial teardowns of the Cybertruck…

So, like most other cars? I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car that didn’t have any recalls. I would be skeptical if you think yours didn’t.
