It is called a key? Most likely the dealership left the key in/by the car or something.

Well technically, if it was a gasoline car, it would have gave off more carbon I guess.

Well since this car was stolen from a Tesla dealership, if it was scheduled to be delivered. Technically it was crashed BEFORE it got to a consumer.

Actually, based on independent private investigations. The Porsche GT was not going 100mph. Hence why the wife was pressing charges.

I hope your being sarcastic right? According to pew studies, Fox News is one of the most bias news networks.

It is simple, he was not the first one to get it so he lost some "prestige". So he settled for the next best thing, 15 minutes of fame doing something stupid.

The extra delay though was due to Chinese customs. That is one of the issues of importing cars vs building them locally.

I'd love to see this guy act tough and protest the Chinese government and how they handle their customs.

What people will do for 15 minutes of fame, quite sad.

There is a few mistakes here, mostly that solar panels are pretty durable. Withstanding a car is not an issue. Also, solar panels and LEDs are pretty much reverse of each other. The bigger issue is cost/efficiency. You are better off putting solar panels on roofs, not on roads. Not only do you get better angles facing…

Well to be more precise:

Roadster - 120mph
Model S 60kwh - 120mph
Model S 85kwh - 125mph
Model S 85kwh Performance - 130mph

So I can see why you may have thought it to be 120mph.

The top speed of a Tesla Model S is 130moh. (though I'd say it goes around 133mph). Mostly it is software limited and can most likely go faster in reality.

They have a fixed reduction gear, not a transmission. Tesla originally did want to have a 2 speed transmission that was not working out, but abandoned it because the transmission was not necessary as they managed to get what they wanted with no transmission with an improvement to the motor.

You do not need to add a…

I wish them luck, but I am doubtful they can keep up with Tesla's speed of innovation.

Just out of curiosity, how will transmissions help audi when electric cars don't have transmissions?

And what political moves have they made that are unsurvivable?

It is not made to look good or bad. It is not a car, you don't own it. It is a new method of transportation. Do people complain about the exterior looks of a subway or a train? (Don't answer that, I am sure there are some people with a train fetish that are picky about the looks of trains)

Tesla was at full capacity but Panasonic invested 200 million into expanding the battery production lines. It was suppose to take effect 2014Q2 and be in full production on the new lines by end of 2014. So they have room to produce more until the gigafactory goes like in 2016/2017. Since we are talking about 2018 and…

A coal powerplant like that is not common. I hear it is the last coal powerplant in Connecticut and there has been a lot of pressure to close it down.

NJ does not use coal at all. Most of their power comes from nuclear. Though if I had to chose between coal powered EV or gasoline. I would chose coal powered EV. Reason?

The cost is quoted by Elon Musk himself in a video. So unless he gave a roundabout estimate on the spot I would take it as accurate.

What is a rumor?
