I think that competitive differentiator boat has sailed when Tesla opened up the supercharger network. There is just no incentive for tesla to improve the network anymore because it no longer to their benefit. Supercharger is a slow growth utility and Tesla has a finite amount of money to...

I get what you are saying, but after looking at their filings for clues on what Tesla gains from these contracts, honestly I do not see any. If Tesla is truly giving away the keys to SC and getting nothing in return, then I am not sure how other parties can sue Tesla. My original thought...

First thing I thought was....DBAG!!!

And even if/when all cars are autonomous, there will still be issues. People crossing the street willy nilly, kids chasing a ball onto the street, deer and other animals..etc. A big one is weather and ice. Even myself with decades of experience sometime has trouble with that. For example, I...

Sorry, Nothing can ALWAYS guarantee your safety. There are always idiots on the road that drive distracted, racing, etc. The car can be 100% but all it takes is a Marco Muzzo or a Brampton driver to take you out and there is nothing the car can do about it. That human idiot factor is what...

Honestly, we all drive differently. Tesla FSD will NEVER satisfy everyone 100%. For example, my wife dislikes the acceleration because it causes her to experience motion sickness, while my sister thinks it should pick up speed faster. To you, it may never feel like a finished product because...

I think she may have bought a damaged car that was at the body shop waiting to get fixed. To me, that is the only reason that makes sense. If that was me, I would be pissed.

when I picked up my MY LR from Oakville, I asked them not to install the front plates because I was just going to drive 5 mins to the PPF shop. They said ok, but the guy actually doing it did not get the message. Anyway, the ppf guy just yanked it off, no issues.

i don’t think that is a show stopper and a minor point. everyone knows that it is a Tesla charger anyways

Existing and future Superchargers will still exist and be built for road trips along highways, but these dealerships will serve a different crowd. Just like gas stations along highways are different than gas stations in town. In town gas stations usually don’t have facilities for public...

Think future state when GM/ford adopts the direct purchase model. they will have WAY fewer cars on the lot. Also, the inventory cars will be stored offsite so space will not be an issue. GM/Ford‘s biggest strength in this deal is their footprint. Tesla will no longer need to scout for locations...

Dealership chargers will be for a completely different purpose than road trippers. They are for residents without charging at home, for visitors in town for a few days, etc. when I visit my dad, the closest supercharger is like 40 mins away. Closest dealership is 5 mins. These chargers can...

My theory…part of the deal with GM and Ford is for them to build superchargers at their dealerships. this will scale in a huge way with 7000 GM dealerships and 3000 ford dealerships in the US. Tesla can knock out a supercharger for $40k vs $250k that it would take GM to do it. tesla will...
