I've been curious of the NIO ET5 and had an opportunity for an hours test drive yesterday - it's surprisingly good!
Used to drive Audi A4 Avants (modded TFSI quattros) so I'm a big fan of the "high spec performance compact wagon" format. Well the NIO feels way upmarket from the 3 and has much of tha...

We just returned from a 5,880 mile, nine-day (travel time) round-trip from Raleigh to Spokane. We were concerned about the number of available supercharger spots on 90 going west as it was Labor Day weekend and many of the sites were 150 kW and 4 stalls, but this wasn’t a problem at all. The ABRP m...

I know we often use terms that not everyone on this forum may be familiar with. So I made this handy glossary for AI, Machine Learning and Autonomous Driving:

Autonomous Vehicle (AV)
A vehicle with the hardware and software to drive without human input.

I've heard a lot of discussion about no-drill license plate mounting, but not a single discussion about where to safely drill if you'd like to permanently affix a front license plate to the Y.
I personally have had the factory adhesive come off, cleaned with IPA, applied a large amount of VBH in wa...

Tesla celebrates the delivery of more than 50,000 vehicles in Denmark. The company's cars account for almost 2% of all vehicles on the road in the country, which is a huge achievement for a young company.

Tesla continues to conquer the European automotive market, capturing an ever-increasing share....

One thing I've always hated about my 3 was how they use the Brake light as the turn signal. I'm a big believer in a dedicated color(amber) for turn signal. Unfortunately a lot of manufactures are going away from that in favor for the brake/turn combo. Maybe it's cost savings.IDK, but I am out to ch...

In general I plan in advance and try to organise AC charging - my preference is just to plug in overnight rather than have to spend time sat at a supercharger.

Yesterday I updated the Tesla app so and connected my wall connector in the app so that I could get a sense on the true energy usage. Then I did a little math to figure out my cost per mile:

Miles driven yesterday: 56 mi
Approximate electricity cost rate for my last billing cycle (in...

Hi all -

I've been using FSD for the last 8 months. And while I experience a fair amount of screw-ups and disengagements, I've also noticed how comfortable I'm getting using FSD on every drive. It occurred to me that we (rightly) put a heavy focus on where FSD needs to improve. But I think this can...

We will be shutting down our native TMC iOS and Android apps soon. As such, I wanted to take this opportunity to encourage users to install our PWA for both iOS and Android (the iOS PWA is actually necessary in order to receive push notifications on iOS).

I bought my 2023 Model 3 SR 3 months ago and I have been itching for a long drive. So last Wednesday, I did a day trip with a friend. We did Concord to Los Angeles with a stop in Yermo on the way back. Started with 98% with 6 travel charges and 2 full charges at my destination. I had two issues duri...

There has recently been released a series of new research reports containing tests on Tesla Model 3 Cells (Panasonic 2170 NCA).
This is the calendar aging test from one of them (25C, 15, 50 and 85% SOC. Checkup once a month):
Using the datapoints from these and putting them in the old charts I ususa...

I was thinking about this over coffee. Anybody who is considering spending $400 for the Macsboost kit could DIY this for next to nothing. I need somebody to confirm the relationship between the spacer thickness and the camber, but I don't have a refresh X. If anybody is in the Bay area I'd be down t...

I have got to be honest. Full Self Drive capability in Tesla goes further than any other vehicle designed by man (or woman) but it left me wanting for more.
I bought my Model Y Long Range on Friday 9/1 and took it for a little ride from Houston to Corpus Christi on Sunday 9/3. Here are my first reac...

I've only had my MYP for less than 2 weeks, but it does train your eye to spot other Teslas. Yesterday I was driving on the 101 north through Scottsdale when I notice a model S in front of me. I caught up and dropped into line. The model S was following a model Y, and the model Y had a 90D in fr...

Since I received 2023.7.30, I've lost Autowiper functionality, and it's VERY annoying after all the years of Autowipers not working, then working poorly, then finally working reasonably well as the many firmware updates flowed out of Tesla. I've called the nationwide support number and have been to...

Got the email today from tesla stating new brakes and pads upgrades are available for my 2022 Plaid X. the link tries to take you to the app but its not properly working. Will try to figure it out and see what the options are. Seems like you can get red calipers on existing Plaids now.
