So I come back from the Apple Store with a shiny new phone, having just traded in my old one. Walk up to T3 (my Model 3), and...nothing. She won't open. Light dawns...oh yeah, the new phone isn't paired. No, big, I'll just use the app to unlock like I've done before. I bring out the shiny...

A thread for gloating. Post the most outrageously wrong articles/predictions about Tesla from the so called pundits. Please make the timeframes one year or longer for the best aged claim chowder. --Woof!

Transportation isn't always in cars. Below is a great article detailing the state of delivery 'bots, drones, and yes, trucks. Nope, not Tesla. Not even a car...a delivery 'bot! Pizza, the unsung agent of the robot revolution

So I thought I had a great idea for how to solve the problem when a driverless car get's into a sticky situation and needs help. If there's a person in the car, that's easy. But what happens when summoning a car from across the country and it get's pulled over for having a blown tail light...

Scientists Accidentally Convert CO2 into Ethanol, Potentially Solve Climate Change

Tom Moloughney has a blog post up about the current status of the CCS rollout BMW/VW announced last January. As anticipated by many, it isn't going well. Tom has some candid answers as to why. This provides some interesting perspective in comparison to Tesla's Supercharger network. The...

I just discovered a trove of EV data from the Center for Advanced Energy Studies, Advanced Vehicle Testing Data, by the DOE's Idaho National Laboratory. Some really nice testing of EV's, especially the i3 and LEAF. Sorry, no Tesla data. Web Site here: Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity - Full...

Microgrids light up the night in Kenya villages - CSMonitor.com

Wouldn't it be neat if the Model S could listen to itself and determine if that odd noise is something to worry about, and notify the driver and Tesla something's not right? From the "why wasn't this thought of earlier" dept., Wired brings us the story of a new device that can do just that...

We've loaner P85+ today, registered in Mass. with real MA plates (not the California manufacture ones). The NAV voice is a very proper sounding British lady who says "roundabout" instead of "traffic circle", "Take the entrance to THE I-95" and other Britishisms. I like her! Wonder if there's...

If anyone wants to car pool, I'll be a designated driver...just one small issue, no car! You provide the ride, I'll provide the drive!

Blog Post from a Solar Power Installer (my alternate title: How the Non-Tesla Faithful view the PowerWall): Elon Musk's 3-Biggest Powerwall Whoppers

So, I truly believe SpaceX will get a colony to Mars. That's just rocket science...simple stuff. But the hard part would, I believe, be Governance. So, Mars fans, please discuss the form of Government for the Mars colony should have. Will Elon be King? Perhaps a pure democracy, one person...

Three years ago when I had an EVSE put in the garage, the installer put an "Air Conditioning Disconnect Switch" directly above the Aerovironment EVSE. I'd never seen that before, but it was handy as the breaker was all the way on the other side of the house in the basement. Well, today as I...

Loose Parts on GoComics.com (I'd insert the image but it appears that part of the forum is busted) I wonder if the Tesla can help with the shag carpet stations?

I've signed up for TMC Connect, and am trying to convince my wife to join me. While she is the daily driver of the Model S, she isn't nearly as obsessed with Tesla and EVs as I. I figured a trip to California would be fun for her as well...but she isn't on board yet. So what (non-Tesla...

My wife's car came back from service tonight, and in the passenger seat I found this 2014 Tesla Calendar and a nice note. Thanks guys!

Apple looks to bolster its iOS vehicle integration team as its automotive push grows As someone with more than one foot in the "Apple camp", I'd love to see Tesla and Apple do some serious collaboration here. At a minimum, how about the ability to mirror an iOS screen on the 17" display...

According to XKCD, Gas mileage can be measured in square meters: Miles are units of length, and gallons are volume—which is length^3. So gallons/mile is length^3/length. That’s just length^2. [thus] Gas mileage is measured in square meters. Source: Droppings Love the conclusion at...

Building Tesla - Technology Review Nice pictures of the factory.

I would like to have a "Trim Tab" on my next EV. This would be a physical slider or vertical thumb wheel on the steering wheel that would do the following: When pushed to the "up" position it would add power to the accelerator input. If the car were on level ground and the trim moved up, it...
