I assume they have calculated the average total tire cost owners typically spend over the life of a car and will charge the same amount plus a little more for the convenience for a set of these?  There’s no way I’m going to start saving money right?

For ever Tesla driver that does this, there are probably 100k stupid Mustang/Camaro/other owners doing things just as stupid and dangerous. I trust a Tesla much more than a bro leaving cars and coffee. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

Of course. It’s the hyper sensational world we live in. It’s all down to the bias used to present findings. Title your article “Teslas Navigate is Worse that human driving” puts people on the defensive. Change the title to “Teslas Navigate baby steps in right direction but not there yet” and you’ll have a much more…

Charging an EV to 100%, then driving it to 90% and charging it back up to 100% every night is bad for the battery and not recommended.

It’s not that you drive 300 miles in one day. It’s that you only charge your EV once a week because it HAS a 300 mile range and at the end of the week, you have a spur of the moment trip come up and you now have to charge somewhere. Level 2 doesn’t cut it in that case.

I have a Model X and an i3 so I’ve used preconditioning a lot and it definitely helps (and is nice to get into a toasty warm car) but once you leave your house, your done. Your car sits in the parking lot at work all day in the winter or you make lots of little trips that each have to warm up the car with the heater…

Public charging infrustructure sucks. They either don’t work or use some different network that you don’t have an account for. It’s a disaster. Also, all of your green dots are level 2 charges that take HOURS to charge. Even though people charge at home, you quickly learn that EVs really only have 50% of their range…

We’ve been hearing about what the big automakers are GOING to do for years.  They haven’t done it.  VW doesn’t have a single car for sale using their new skateboard platform.  They don’t have the charging infrastructure in place.  I know they are big and experienced but I don’t see them going from zero (e-golf doesn’t…

All we have to go on is Trumps tweets...and the press release from GM:  

Thanks for the details. Can anyone add info about how they found him? Too much TV has me envisioning little handheld devices with green radar circles on them but I really have no idea. How did they triangulate this guy? Is the equipment that accurate to pinpoint the actual house?

I wonder how big Rivian has to get before they become Jalopniks new target?

Um, not necessarily. Read many of the other posts about how LIDAR has limited range, cost, and power issues. You have a limited number of engineers. Maybe those resources are better spent on the vision system instead of 2 half baked systems. Also, if you knew anything about Tesla systems you’d know they have many…

You said it yourself in the article:

Agreed. Instead of saying “he”, I should have said “they” referring to the army of talented engineers and other workers that make stuff happen.

I’ve owned mine in Portland and S.E. Idaho - places with plenty of rain and snow with no problems.

So, you wrote this entire article and didn’t discus the video of the Model 3 actually self driving. Perhaps you can point me to videos of other current production cars self driving with nothing more than a software change. Wait, there aren’t any?? Hmm. Maybe a car blog should spend more time talking about the actual…

Not only can you still order it, people have already taken delivery of the supposedly non existent $35k Model 3...but you won’t read about that on Jalopnik.  

I have an X and your wrong.

Wow.  I think this is the most positive thing I’ve seen about Tesla on Jalopnik.

Tesla Model X for you then. Seats up to 7 and with the super charger network, you are good to go...and at 2.8 sec 0-60, you can go very quickly :).
