    From Y to Audi e-tron: a Comparison

    I kinda was interested in the e-Tron before getting the Y, but their EV tech and design seemed an afterthought to me. No VW for me for a range of reasons. That said, Audi has some really nice interiors (and bad, in my personal opinion, software). On tech and value, I'd go with Acura though...

    1 Year Used Tesla Model 3 Review

    Interesting. This is the first time I see someone reporting this issue. Thanks for the review. The only competitors that I would potentially consider as an alternative to Tesla are M-B and Porsche and Rivian after they integrate NACS. Everything else seems pretty much garbage that is used by...

    Thoughts on this damage. Is it totaled?

    My guess is we look at about 8k official damage. Can be fixed for some 3k I guess. Let us know what does your insurance company thinks.

    Silverado EV

    I can only say that productive dialog would benefit from better education on financial reporting and audit practices.

    Silverado EV

    I was first skeptical about your statement of all Tesla cars being profitable. Then I checked the numbers, and you are correct. Tesla could stop investing in expansion and R&D and keep pocketing cash at any time in their history.

    Silverado EV

    You are incorrect. Tesla's AUTOMOTIVE revenue always stayed above automotive cost. Here is a plot for you. The lowest point was 3.8% (still positive) in 2012.

    Silverado EV

    Based on multiple reports, including Kyle's Out of Spec Motoring, Silverado EV (and ALL GM EVs) has major software and software-hardware issues. Based on what I saw in GM cars over many years, I would NOT trust anything coming from that stable. Their goal, as I said about Ford's Mach-E many...

    2023 model Y not getting FSD trial! WHY?

    New FSD v12 automatic speed setting works pretty well

    Well, it is good when it works. I found too clear issues: 1) At one point of changing highways, it takes 35 mph speed limit somehow and then drives on a 65mph highway at 35 mph... and it does it more or less consistently in one place 2) FINALLY, it tries to slow down in school zones when 25 mph...

    What makes a car "fun to drive"?

    Speaking of memorable s..t we've done, how about doing doughnuts in '88 IZh-412? That was fun. 🤪

    What would happen if you end up in water?

    You are trolling, right? 1) It will be very difficult to open windows under the pressure of water, I doubt any car will do it. 2) If she was drunk and stressed, it is not unlikely she acted irrationally.

    What would happen if you end up in water?

    Sure, anyone can deny that. You saying "you can't deny" does not qualify as an argumentative statement, sorry.
