Yeah, look at Tesla losing market share, boy howdy they sure are losing market share, just wait for it.... its going to start going down... aaaaanny second now....

Just part of making the racing more equal. All the non OEM teams have had significant budget restrictions for years and it always includes fixing damage. I especially remember Williams a few years ago talking about how the only two noses they had were the ones on the cars at some races because budget was so tight,…

Seriously. This guy’s not a journalist or major industry player, he’s a random fan with a few thousand followers. If he wasn’t talking about Tesla this wouldn’t have been a story, its no more noteworthy or interesting than the fanboy ranting that happens in BMW vs Audi, Subaru vs Honda, ect ect circles.

Really early Model S’s at least its the life of the vehicles, 2012/13 at least.  At some point I think they switched it to only count for the first owner, but that’s not applied retroactively to earlier cars.

Its Bottas’s fault entirely because there is absolutely no excuse for a Mercedes to be anywhere nearly slow enough for a Williams to pass it on pace. The fact that pass was even happening is a serious indictment on Bottas.

I don’t have it anymore, but I owned a 2013 Chevy Volt for just over 6 years 89,000 miles. It had exactly the same range when I sold it as it did brand new.

If you bought the car early on when free supercharging was included it stays free for the life of the vehicle.

I don’t think you’re being paid extra to post these articles, but obviously there’s enough of a pattern of posting articles that seem biased that even your regular readers wonder about the reasons or motives. Hell its a meme in the comments sections of other articles that have nothing to do with Tesla.

Virtually no…

Has anyone checked on Harrison Ford?

I’m excited to see how the lap times compare. Obviously the FE cars will be much slower than F1 regardless of any small track changes. Even if you forget the huge downforce, power, and budget differences, the tires alone are worth a ton of time on a track like this. Regardless, it’ll still be interesting to see how a…

3rd: If only some sort of EV market leader had made it clear years ago that manufacturers would need to be able to produce their own battery cells to have adequate supply once the industry shifted.

How is this a Model Y competitor at twice the price? Its nearly the same price as a Model X and I’m sure since it comes from zee Germans it won’t take much time with the options list to make up the 5K starting price difference.

The powertrain stats seems to be closer to a Y than an X unfortunately, but that seems to…

Keep in mind that another technical term for 250kw is an effing shetload of power. Think 190 microwaves running at the same time through on set of cables and contacts. You can weld 1/4" plate at 20v 200 amps, this is around 400v 600 amps. If I remember correctly the J1772 standard includes the communication pins being…

How do you square this with the fact that I’ve personally been in a Tesla when it’s detected and stopped comfortably for a red light from 55mph? (I suspect that’s not the limit, there’s just no higher speed traffic lights in my rural area). How far a distance away do you think it needs to see how small an object? I…

I think there’s three things you could be missing. One is that the video we’ve seen is not the full camera suite. The car has 3 forward facing cameras with three different fields of view, the footage we’re seeing is just one of them. I haven’t seen anything reputable about whether the footage we’ve seen is the wide,…

Looks fun to drive but I can’t help but think they’re going to spend half of the race with yellow flags or behind the safety car. New course, high speed, narrow, no run offs, and  most of the corners the wall is the track limit.

I can’t tell if you’re intending it or not, but implicit in your statement is the acknowledgement that cameras alone works just fine, its a question of brainpower. Is the computer and software good enough to understand the images from its cameras at the same level that our brain understands the images its camera feed…

I like it in theory, but I think given political reality you could really only institute a carbon tax if it were paired to a carbon dividend. Every quarter total up the money, divide it evenly by the number of citizens and mail / direct deposit everyone a check. Same incentives, little cost.

Road maintenance should…

Someone would have to be a special kind of idiot to look at a program that’s been underfunded for decades and decide its because of a product that’s been less then 1% of sales over only the last couple years.

The only difference is that when prices change at a dealership for any other brand its in a commercial, when it changes for Tesla its in the news. The background process is entirely the same: maximize profit while managing supply and demand.
