First, I want to acknowledge all the hard work of the Tesla FSD team. Tesla has spent years building a sophisticated vision-only system. And the perception part is very advanced. I am not saying that Tesla Vision is perfect. There are still gaps in the perception system. But I feel like Tesla has bu...

EVs ‘are not enough’: Polestar and Rivian urge more drastic climate action

EVs “are not enough”: Polestar and Rivian urge more drastic climate action

Eliminating tailpipe emissions is just half the battle.

Which is interesting given Rivian's massive trucks and SUVs.

Hello all, this is my second post. Same as before, this will be a long read, enjoy it when you can.

So long story short, a guy who has no license or insurance rear-ended my 2018 Model 3 on June 20th. The repair bill came back from a Tesla Authorized body shop with 22k. My insurance totaled it with ...

Recently, my Model Y Performance became available for delivery. There's lots of great information in this forum and I wanted to contribute my experience. Overall, this was by far the best dealership experience I have had. In the past, I have had Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes. The key reason it was great...

The longstanding Tesla Generation 1 Corded Mobile Connector (CMC) now seems to be officially and truly dead (on the Tesla-USA website). While TMC members are generally knowledgeable about such things, I've seen a great deal of misunderstanding about the various Tesla mobile connectors...

Greetings!

In earlier posts I voiced my disappointment in my 2023 Austin Built Model Y AWD's build quality. Misaligned doors, various squeaks and rattles, and other issues caused me to second guess my purchase, especially after putting up with build issues with my 2018 LR RWD Model 3. You can fin...

There are several potential advantages to using ext4, a Linux filesystem, on an SSD connected to your Tesla in the glove box. The Linux-specific filesystem is journaled, which means it has some protection against data corruption from disconnects. I switched to ext4 as my filesyst...

People buy cars for different reasons. Cool factor, the environment, the cost, the performance, the utility of the vehicle, etc.

For me personally, I purchased a Tesla for potential savings.

After six weeks and 7,000 miles (including a 3,000 mile road trip) I would like to share my observations f...

Hi Everyone,
Sharing my experience a few weeks in after the delivery of MY RWD with EAP . This is more for those who are lurking to get one like I was sometimes ago.
I feel that a lot of concerns I had in the past was over exaggerated, due to an overwhelming information out there. So here I am now, ...

Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints

About a decade ago, Tesla rigged the dashboard readouts in its electric cars to provide “rosy” projections of how far owners can drive before needing to recharge, a source told Reuters.

www.reuters.com

Interesting.

TL;DR

1. Above 50% SOC the cars over state range, and under 50% they become more realistic.

2. Tesla had or has a team in Nevada and now moved to Utah solely dedicated to cancelling S...

Interesting.

BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes, KIA, GM*, Honda and Stellantis will be building their own charging network (Non-Tesla branded), but will be using NACS, along side CCS which I think they'll eventually phase out?

If so this may indirec...

I'm glad I decided on taking the MX vs our MY. The MX was a pleasure to drive on our Western US road trip with some caveats.

We drove from SoCal to Wester Washington up the I-5. We didn't have any issues on this leg with charging or with the MX being comfortable.

We returned from W. WA via North...

Weird that it appears that it will be for a Tesla Semi without a trailer... (Do they have a spot to drop a trailer on-site?)

Another interesting thing is ...
