Test drive of a petrol car

Test drive of a petrol car

Having heard so much good about petrol cars, we decided to test drive one. They are said to combine cheap price with long range and fast charging. A winning formula on paper – but how are they in real life?

We sat us in the loaner car at the car salesman’s office. Automa...

Just test drove a highland in Los Angeles

Lots of thoughts.
The door thunk, sound insulation and softer ride quality are amazing improvements. I was mentally expecting good improvements but was still impressed. It's like a civic to a Toyota Avalon. Almost felt like magic. BUT there is a considerable loss of steering feel and response. The c...

2022 Model X Plaid 30k miles, 19 month review

30000 mile review of my 2022 Model X Plaid. Just over 19 months of ownership and 30k miles so far and I enjoyed every single mile. Now for the good and the bad. Let's start with the bad: As we all know, fit and finish is not Tesla's strength, so, some of the trim really does not line up perfect even...

Installed and mounted Michelin Defender 2 in the size of 235/60R18. Adding my notes here

I wanted to share my initial impressions and first 1,000 miles on an oversized set of 235/60R18 tires on the Model Y.

Ride quality has been overall improved. It’s not Mercedes S-class level of plush or quiet, but it’s much more compliant and muted than before. There’s a clear “pang” sound at...

The Cybertruck is more expensive to supercharge than a Ford F-150 costs in gas

I recently watched a range test on YouTube where a Cybertruck was driven at 70mph at a steady state under decent weather conditions until it could not drive. The truck got around 254 miles of range and consumed around 500 wh/mile, approximately.

Here's what that would cost per 100 miles at current ...

2023 MYP—mild modifications and future plans

Purchased my first brand new car since college (which was a 2001 SVT Mustang Cobra that I still have).

2023 MYP, black interior, tow hitch. Paid $53k which I think was a pretty decent price since I’m in a smaller market and it stickered for $55,490. Could have gotten a better deal on an MSM but 1...

371 Wh/km (600 Wh/Mile) consumption in the deep freeze

Real cold snap here. Like really cold. Saturday was -36°C and was like -52°C with the wind chill. If you ever wondered how a Model 3 can handle the cold - it does VERY WELL!

Today was a balmy -32°C when I left for work and -28°C when I left the office. This is my 3rd winter with the Model 3 so I kn...

2015 Model S 12 Volt Battery Replacement

I recently got a warning that the 12V Battery on my 2015 Model S RWD was dying. I started looking into my options and decided to post my experience as the 2015 Model S seems to be a slight anomaly. My battery is hidden way up on the passenger side next to the wheel well. Electrified Garage has a ...

2024 Shipping Movements

I thought I would start a new thread for 2024 on European bound ships carrying Teslas.
The first logical question is why on earth would anyone on a Tesla forum be interested in shipping?

The answer is because once you have ordered your revolutionary expensive new car you enter the Tesla blackout zo...

The main source I’m using is CarExpert’s monthly VFACTS sales reports. The monthly sales data goes back only to July 2020 - that’s when Ca...
