I'd say this is really accurate. Our new model 3 will give us 220 miles in extremely favorable conditions. More like 170ish in poor conditions. Granted both of these favorable/unfavorable are also mainly highway driving, but I'm referring to temps and wind and rain. It still gets it wrong. It...

I don't have anything appropriate to say about this.

Do you have copper? I've run no statistical analysis but a summary look at this hints to me that aluminum is disproportionately represented in these fires. Not everything, just a lot ;) I'd rest easy if amazon if the official seller.

Pretty much what happened to me. So per an earlier comment I did have an electrician come out, ran fresh copper from my breaker through metal conduit out in the garage. The thing is now hard-wired to my Grizzl-E. After a couple hours running I hit the connections in the grizzle with a...

This speaks to a greater truth. In many cases our lusting for a product is more exciting than the final receipt of it. After a while it's just a box with four wheels and an engine (or electric motor). Not that one cannot really still like their car for years, but that "omg I want that" feeling...

This is actually an exciting development if it works and ultimately can work with sunglasses. Of the several brands of vehicle I've been in that require "touching the wheel" I've been very unsatisfied with 100% of them (toyota, volvo, tesla). It's a terrible approach to the problem.

The other guys already corrected me--and helpfully as well.

oh nice :)

I'm still pissed nobody got jail time for that. When your company's behavior is that egregious there need to be serious penalties.

You can't be serious with this take. This is the equivalent of a teacher saying "who wrote this on the board" and nobody in the class knows except the person who did it. They refuse to own up, and the entire class gets detention. This happened to me 35 years ago and I've never forgotten how...

It's almost believable, but it would be impossible (?) for him to personally approve these so I'm just going to assume this is fake.

That's awesome.

I echo this sentiment exactly. The pedo guy debacle is what cemented my negative opinion of musk as a person. Social media has normalized public figures acting like unmitigated aholes, to the detriment of society.

This is the kind of email one might expect from a startup. Can you imagine Toyota dumping an entire team of its people, then telling suppliers it's in the midst of hiring their replacements and to "hold tight" on getting their money for a bit while it works things through?
