    Is this not deceptive?

    OK, Tesla fanboys and fangirls... I'm prepared for your "no, you're an idiot" replies but this has been bothering me... Is Tesla not being deceptive with the whole "after est gas savings" business? For example, this is on the homepage of the Tesla website right now. And you KNOW people see...

    Wish List Item: Weather Radar

    Dear Elon, Please work to include weather radar (and other conditions) as an overlay on the navigation maps since weather impacts Tesla performance. I pay for the data plan and this data could easily be included. Thanks, Chris

    Is it over? YouTube video says EVs are DONE.

    First of all, I know I'm preaching to the EV choir here so the responses to this might be biased. Second, not sure if any of you watch Cash's videos but he's been going very negative lately anyway. Watch his video (as far as you can before getting fed up) and let me know your thoughts. Is this...

    Houston Area Superchargers Offline - Storm Related?

    Looks like a couple of Houston area superchargers are offline. They map out to areas heavily hit by power outages following this week's storms. Heads up if you normally travel these routes.

    How's your experience with Tesla / Apple iMessage been?

    I've been very unimpressed with the integration of iMessage and the Tesla system. That damn button in the bottom left never works for me. Curious if others are frustrated with the experience or maybe its just me. (image via notateslaapp.com)

    Weird Road Trip Problem: bad arrival percentages!

    Took my first road trip in my 2024 Tesla Model Y LR DM and for the most part it was FANTASTIC. The drive from Richmond, VA to Houston, TX was LONG and required several stops to charge. The good news is that EVERY ONE of the SuperChargers I encountered worked perfectly - even the ones along I-10...

    Time to change a basic Supercharging design?

    As someone from Houston it doesn't shock me at all that someone stole the charging cables from 18 of 19 Superchargers in Montrose. Nobody seems 100% sure if this was a copper theft or an anti-EV action. BUT - my question is this: is it time to take the cables off of EV chargers in America? In...

    Supercharger Layoffs Affected Progress?

    I ask because since the announcement on Monday supercharge.info has had ZERO changes for the US, Mexico, or Canada. TONS of updates for China though. North America gets a skip day on supercharge.info every now and then... but FOUR days seems "off".

    Virginia DOT (VDOT) Releases Phase 1-A Charger Station Plan

    VDOT has released their plan (1-A stage) rewards for spending money on EV charging infrastructure. Sadly for those of us in SW Richmond (Chesterfield) there are no plans for chargers along 288 and the entire Richmond to Afton Mountain corridor of I-64 gets nothing in this phase. Looks like the...

    Stephen Colbert Warns Tesla Owners: Everyone Hates Us

    Last night Stephen Colbert, who I believe owns a Tesla, warned us Tesla owners: "everyone hates you". You can skip his comments about rat anatomy by going to 4:53 in the video, that's where the Tesla bit starts. DOES everyone hate us? If so, why? Meanwhile™️ - "Tesla Cybertruck is the...
