Pretty amusing and biting criticism of Tesla on Conan last night Enjoy - and don't take life too seriously!

seems someone had the same idea as I did and wrote an article The 6 Automakers Closest To Losing Federal Tax Credit

I'm not sure why the question posed in the title has to match the poll question... However, I someone explains how I can edit the post title I'll fix it...

I see your point, but also remember people being concerned that people would stop wearing seat belts and/or drive more recklessly because airbags would save them, seems similar to being lulled by autopilot being so good most of the time...

There have been lots of discussions of the cases in where Autopilot has been implicated/blamed for the death of a occupant. I recently realized that I have yet to see anyone make a comparison to deaths caused by airbags. When they first came out, short/small people were being injured/killed...

I'm interested in everyone's opinion. Hoping that there will be some official news about how many US cars have been sold and/or when they estimate they will hit 200,000

They also make bike racks that hook onto the trunk too... Edit - not specifically for the Model 3 but I would imagine they would work

Received my invite on 4/13 at 5:03pm EST!! I am a non-Tesla owner from Maine who ordered online once right after it opened - 1 hour before reveal

don't forget 800-1000kWh of battery weight (8000lbs???) over the rear wheels to help with traction...

While its great to see the model 3 on the top of this chart what is the real meaning of this stat ($/mile range)??? Has anyone every created a $/range for ICE cars? or more likely a $/0-60mph or $/quarter mile comparison? In my opinion it is $/whatever is a meaningless stat because the total...

The car is more than just the battery so I don't think a straight price/range comparision makes sense. Here are the numbers I calculated: Model S 75D (259mi) - $74,500 100D (335mi) - $97,500 133% capacity, 129% range for 130% of cost Model 3 220mi - $35,000 310mi - $44,000...

I'm not thrilled by the price difference either. 90 miles for $9000 would make the price (not cost) of the base battery $22,000. Which means the price of everything else is only $13,000... This is like Apple charging $100 to go from 32G to 64g when a 64G chip only costs $5 more... It...

Shipping details available now under this link Tesla SSO - Login (requires login) First Production 310 mile range with Rear Wheel Drive $49,000 Dec 2017 - Feb 2018 Standard Battery 220 mile range with Rear Wheel Drive $35,000 Feb - Apr 2018 Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Choice of 220 or 310...

I said REAR drive was better for traction during acceleration. The basic reason is pure physics. Weight transfer causes the front end to lift reducing amount of weight pressing the tire to the road. In front wheel drive this reduces traction (torque steer is when one wheel has better...

To be clear L2 and HWPC are NOT chargers, they are simply safety switches that communicate with the charger in the car to assure a safe connection before allowing AC power to flow. I remember descriptions that the early supercharges were built by wiring up 12 of the chargers from the car in...
