From 1991, over 30 years ago, like 20 years before Tesla, The Prophetic writers of The Simpsons saw the Cyber(nota)truck.
Watch this and read the text too. (They even got so so close to the price. We will see.)

Hi Everyone,

I feel that positive experience needs to be shared more so just sharing my experience with Tesla mobile service in Melbourne Victoria so far.

The first one was a tyre replacement. One of my tyre hit a piece of metal sheeting and the tyre was gone.
Called the Tesla 1300 number a...

I stumbled across this detailers' build quality videos, finding one for both a new MX and R1S, and thought the folks here cross shopping these vehicles might find them of interest. I'll drop the links here so you can draw your own conclusions before adding my editorialization below:

This was announced on the Jay Leno Simi test drive (TS 28:00). I'm surprised I haven't read or heard of anyone that noticed it. Obviously this has implications for the V4 Superchargers.

Lucid Debuts Cheaper Air Sedan to Boost Demand in Late 2023

With inflation and the job market being as challenging as it is today, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some companies selling high-end products are having difficulty appealing to broad swaths of the American public. Lucid is one such company, and the automaker is coping with a slide in...

I have owned my MXP since June 30, 2022, but never driven it out of Florida until September, 2023, when I took two road trips that are about as opposite in the type of place I went to as possible: rural Alabama and a hotel two blocks from the White House in Washington DC.

Both of these trips presen...

Finally!

Hyundai is switching to Tesla-style NACS plugs for its EVs in late 2024

Hyundai EVs that still have the CCS1 plug will get access in 2025 with an adapter.

Ordered beginning of Sep like many of us. EDD jumped around from Sep to Oct-Nov back to Sep and Oct again. For weeks it was Sep 12 - Sep 28 and became Sep 13, 14, 15, 16, as time went on. Then it ended at Sep 30 - Oct 21. I live in Fremont CA, so near their factory. I was thinking they would push th...

Interesting podcast of an interview on Killowatt of a Tesla Supercharger team member about the process of locating and installing Superchargers. It's on most podcast platforms but here is the app link:

It looks like a good video on the Tesla Semi by Jay Leno:

Some interesting tidbits:

the guy said the GVW was 60-70k when they hooked up a trailer with another Tesla Semi on it. So, if the trailer is ~12k, the Semi weighs ~24-29k.
While the rotors are carbon wrapped like the Plaid, th...

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'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.
