I was surprised to see, now that Fords, and soon other cars, can use superchargers, that Tesla officially blesses cars parking in such a way as to occupy two supercharger stalls -- or even three! -- due to the short cords. They even show it in a graphic. (They warn them not to park diagonally, t...

Hello, I have a 2016.5 model S, which had a lot of wind noise but I ended up fixing it in about 10 minutes and weather stripping from Amazon for 10 bucks.

I starting having more wind noise as the original weatherstrip degraded overtime. The solution was quite simple. Weatherstrip with dual sided ...

I've found that after a recent update, Autopilot has become useless on non-highway, two-lane roads.

With the update, Tesla learned how to read speed limits and enforces a maximum Autopilot speed of +10 km/h (6.2 miles per hour).

The problem is that it reads a 30 km/h (18.6 miles per hour) sign bef...

I searched this forum and could not find a mention of this announcement from July 2022, and I think this deserves its own thread. While it is in part about Impulse Space, the current discussion about that company is in the Space Tug thread and this is very different.

Drove from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe this past ski week with the family and 2 small/medium size dogs and a bunch of cold weather gear (sleds etc). Here's a quick review of the experience.

tl;dr - the car did extremely well with both hill driving to altitude (8200ft) and weather (15 degree weather,...

Finally able to get my hands on it to drive home. It's a monster of a vehicle and oddly enough the 1st time ive seen one in person. Extremely happy with the way it drives, the steer by wire takes a little bit to get used to but I understand ...

Day 1

Once again, I miscalculated how much vacation I carried over from last year, and have to use a week before the end of March or lose it. So, I used airline miles to buy a ticket to LAX and scheduled a rental Model Y LR. (I wanted a Model 3 LR, but there were none available to reserve for the d...

Has a 'Ludicrous' badge on the back. New rear spoiler, front spoiler, looks lower, new wheels, different brake set up, sports seats, and I'd guess at a 0 -60 of around 2.5 ish seconds.

I'll be all over this when it comes out. Although not sold on the wheels but i'd imagine there will be options on ...

As you may know, the National Park Service has a lot of Civil War sites. I believe I have been to all the official battle sites in my Long Range Tesla 3, and I arranged them below into a chronological narrative of the war. This is cross-posted from my ad-free Zero Carbon Travel blog, and each link...

This was my first long road trip in our 2023 MYLR since we purchased her in December. We started in Boise, ID and drove to Helena, MT and back over three days, about 1100 total miles. A few things to preface this trip. We took the freeway the entire way as we have always done that in the past and w...

Ive been seeing a lot of analysis that the transition from ICE to Electric cars will take on a S-Curve shape, and 5% EV sales is the tipping point to join the S-Curve, but none of those graphs ever have any X axis... like how many years does the S curve take. Does it need consistent subsidies per ...

Finnish car magazine Tekniikan Maailma tested M3 LR 4WD skills.. Three wheels on rollers, only one wheel with grip..

I'm sure many "real" 4WD cars would be in trouble in a situation like this..
