Polestar is still an new company, and like many other EV car makers it is not so easy to become profitable.

Tesla had a rough start too, but regarding Polestar, Kevin Paffrath, in his today analysis
don't think that Polestar will have a very t...

Apologies if this goes really long (Stephen King once said something about "diarrhea of the word processor" or something like that). Let's get right to it.

I have made many mistakes in the course of owning this vehicle and I will admit full responsibility for matters as we go. While I generally hat...

I live in Boulder Colorado. Just installed 2022.44.30.10 with FSD 10.69.25.2. Generally I've been having good success in most of my drives around Boulder - the occasional disengagment but getting pretty rare these days. There are some specific roads and intersections in the Boulder area that cause p...

Currently Tesla's FSD uses neural nets to interpret what it is seeing, however it is not using that to actually make decisions as to how it drives and interacts with the environment. However, FSD Beta V11 will use neural nets for vehicle navigation and control.

Purchased a Ford Mustang Mach E in June 2022. 6 months later, trading it in for a MYLR.

Looking back, this car needs to be rethought. Ford's custom configuration / dealer purchasing model creates huge disadvantages for buyers, the features / pricing isn't well thought out, the charging situation is...

Tesla recently implemented massive price drops across its product line. We discuss what this means for existing owners, as well as prospective buyers. We also discuss if this is a good time to buy.

In our first ever "longer" roadtrip in our 22 Tesla M3P I have to admit, despite all the encouragement to the contrary that I have gotten from this board and other long time Tesla vehicle owners, I had quite a bit of anxiety about the road even though it was a simple trip from San Francisco to LA a...

Hopefully this might be helpful to anyone who has a Model 3 and is considering moving to a Model S after the price cuts.

When Tesla did the price cuts they also dropped Model S prices like $20k or so. I was in the area and figured I hadn't driven a new S, much less any S, in six years or so. A Plai...

A number of factors converged after Christmas to cause me to take an unexpected but ultimately amazing road. Now working for a company that closed between Christmas and New Year, needing to use vacation days before they expire, a spouse who had to work, kids who are almost grown, and a good dose of ...

I’ve found that FSD Beta (under 2022.44.30.5) cannot negotiate a particular intersection geometry shown below. The vehicle just stops before the intersection and will not proceed.

Here’s the setup: the vehicle is in blue with the direction of motion shown by a black arrow. The planned path is ...

For anyone who's curious what it's like to take a long road trip with a MYP in winter, here's some less than scientific stats I tracked on my journey. I've got a '22 MYP and upgraded my wheels to the TSportline 19's so...

Not too much to say - I haven't had a motor fail, bumper fall off, window crack, trunk leak, etc. Just the front upper control arms under warranty. 😆

I drive the car hard in the worst conditions - crappy dirt forest service roads for mountain biking for three seasons, and snowy/icy mountain passes ...

This is my first Tesla, prior to this car I was driving a much loved Subaru Impreza 2.5i that I bought new in 2007. However, it was getting older and I was increasingly having a difficult time justifying burning fossil fuels. So like many of you I put my wallet where my conscious was and took the pl...

Bought a 23 Model Y without a test drive (no test drive available, but have test driven an older MY 3 some time back). Some initial perspectives after a week.

Delights:
1. Very spacious- doesn’t look like it from outside. Leg room and head room are pretty good.
2. Smooth app experience in-car and o...

Tesla has applied massive price drops to its entire product line. While prospective owners are welcoming this, existing owners are taking a hit to their vehicles resale value. We ask if this is a good or bad sign for the health of the company. We also cover other topics such as Electrify America c...

Robust Tesla self driving is years away, if ever. What could Tesla do in the meantime to make us happier? Currently, individual cars learn nothing from our interventions. Suppose there were a way to tell our car something we know but it doesn’t.

Getting closer to it finally being legit. It will detect the voltage and amp then use a stepper motor to count the counter up at the correct kw rate.

New price drops tonight, here is my view of which Model Y qualify for the 2023 federal tax credit between now and March:

Model Y Performance 5-seater (MSRP gotta be under $55k) : None of them qualify.

Model Y Long Range 5-seater : Gotta stay under $55K before destination charge. These configs wi...
