Our first road trip. Darwin to Cairns.
In all it took 6 days using AC charging from Darwin to Mount Isa, and DCFC from Mount Isa to Cairns.
Our M3RWD was loaded with a Tent just in case, a space saver spare just in case, and a UMC with 10 amp, 15amp and 32amp 5 pin 3 phase plugs. Although the 10amp...

1 of 30 Bugatti EB 110 Super Sport. A friend arranged for me to spend quite a bit of time inside and out of it looking things over. Was my dream car as a child from the first time I seen it on a magazine cover in 1992. Roughly $4 mil market value.

Unfortunately we could not open the engine compa...

I'm sure I'm going to get blasted in these parts but I recently picked up a i4 M50. I had a 2021 M3P for 2 years and an Audi RS3 for 1 year in between. The reason for the imminent change was a job change requiring me to commute 5 days a week (something I haven't done in 4 years). I enjoyed my M3P...

I went to charge this morning and found a Cybertruck charging there. No one was with the truck so maybe they were over at the Donut Boys. We have seen them roaming around Pleasanton, CA quite often. It definitely attracts a crowd whereever it goes, which as one picture shows also means fingerpri...

BMW chief attacks petrol and diesel car ban amid chaotic rush to electric vehicles

The chief said he wanted drivers to spend money with the brand for a vehicle that suits them

And the BMW chief says:

“We want people to spend a lot of money on our products because they say ‘It’s the best product for me’. Because they want it and not because they have to”

Followed this Cybertruck tonight in Los Gatos, CA. Lost it for a bit, then saw it parked on the main downtown street. Wild to see in person... it's not super tall, but it just seems freakishly long in person.

I have installed a stitch-on leather cover on my '14 Model S's steering wheel. I did some digging beforehand, but I could not find much info. So here is my review, in case it helps others.

The steering wheel on my Model S was still in very good shape, but I always found it to be too shiny and slipp...

A recent study by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University found that manufacturing EV motors and batteries required roughly double as many man-hours as an internal combustion engine — up to 24 hours per machine.

I tried Tesla's new self-serve demo drive today in Springfield, Virginia. It means cars are placed at several locations for self-pickup, either at Tesla showrooms or at Supercharger locations with no Tesla employee interaction. In my case, the Tesla Model Y Performance was waiting at a Supercharge...

I was on Route 1 northbound from Trenton NJ around 10:38a this past Saturday. Bright, sunny, clear day - not even wind worth mentioning. I subscribed to FSD a few days ago in preparation for an upcoming long drive and wanted to try it out on this short stretch to get familiar with it. As I'm mind...

In the fall of 2022, I attempted to service my brakes (clean and grease). I was able to do the rear brakes, but didn't do the front. It appears that my early 2020 AWD MY has performance brakes up front (although grey), and these require an E18 socket that I didn't have.

Anyway, it seemed like my ra...

All you need is the Homelink module, but try to find one on ebay that includes the plastic bracket and e-torx bolt. If you don't have the bolt any M6x1.0 by 25mm bolt will do.

After putting a little over 194,000 miles on my 2017 Model S 100D, I took Tesla's offer to transfer the free unlimited supercharging to a new Model Y.

I have only made one drive so far, 190 miles from the sevice center to my home.
