Is it your entire personality to let Elon Musk live rent free in your mind? Not even the actual Elon Musk fan boys think about him as much as you probably do.

So it’s a Tesla thing that 2,100,000 deer are stuck down on the road each year in the US? It’s a Tesla thing that the vast majority of those deer are hit by other brands of vehicles driven by completely human drivers? Almost any human would’ve hit that deer given the context of it suddenly appearing out of the darkness…

Despite the foam that comes out of your mouth when you get triggered by someone saying “Tesla”, this has zero to do with Elon or really even Tesla.

FPS Russia... now there’s a name I haven’t heard in 10 years. Miss that channel

I was fortunate enough last week to witness Tiangong transiting in front of the Sun. Here it is slowed down a bit and cropped in so you can just barely see it sliding across the screen from top right to bottom left. Apologies for it being slightly out of focus, it was my first attempt at photographing this type of…

A deer strike is generally a considerable impact to a car, especially when the strike manages to relocate the entire hood

Somehow if they called it “BraBUS” that would be less cheesy than “Brabus Big Boy”

A recent report from the Washington Post says Musk worked illegally

Your metabolism is obviously running at a different speed when you’re asleep. Doctors say every 3 to 4 hours is idea for waking hours. Average person goes 6-7 times per day. If you’re actually waiting 6+ hours in between that’s definitely not good for you.

The math equation gets even more crazy! Tesla’s track mode reveals that they do have temperature sensors in the tires, so you could theoretically apply some sort of scaler. But realistically it’s probably just based on cold tire pressure when you just begin driving at slow speeds, as it wouldn’t take all that many…

ASS only allows activation on private roads (i.e. grocery store parking lots, your own backyard, etc), and has a max of like 5 mph. Thus why it’s more lenient on the attention monitoring.

According to NHTSA data that tracked crashes while Level 2 autonomous driving systems were active between July 2021 and May of 2022, Tesla happens to have the highest number of crashes by a vast margin. Teslas reported 183 more crashes than second place Honda, and 263 more than third place Subaru in that same time…

You’re in a very very small minority then. I recently drove an EV from Florida to New Hampshire in one 27 hours sprint, and the amount of stopping felt like it was on par with travel in a gas car. Most of the time the car would already be charged ready to move on before we even left the rest area building after…

Definitely didn’t sound like he was trying to telling you to do anything. He was just pointing out that if you can charge at home, it actually saves time over a gas car, because every morning you wake up with a full tank.

My technique has been to put in a butt connector and then solder into the middle of the connector, then heat shrink over it, also in a loom, zip tied to something so it it’s flopping around. I’ve got dozens or more in my rally car project and they’ve held up so far.

Was the “third generation” 2021 Model S not good enough of a generation from the first and second? I’m fairly certain that a 2012 and 2024 share no body panels, interior pieces, or drivetrain components.

That’s what I do now. Back in 2018, tried for a month or two to sell my Fiat 500 on the private market. eBay, Facebook Marketplace, etc, only scammy bites. Finally on the day I needed it gone, I went to CarMax. It was the easiest large transaction I ever made, though it was probably a thousand or more less than what I…

The average American could absolutely get by with 200 as a max. Only if you do really long road trips does it make sense to have the target of 300 or higher.
