Working on Sunday...'looks like this contractor has a mandate to finish soon!

There is a strong culture of envy happening in SF. Long time residents feel they are being pushed out of their neighborhoods by young tech company workers who are driving up housing prices along with everything else. I have friends in SF who post on Facebook at least once a week regarding what...

I would think that maintaining an entirely separate line of seating that has been disliked from the beginning is not in Tesla's plans. If I were them, I'd make the new seats standard as soon as possible.

I'm so pleased with these developments. I was just about to write to Tesla and explain carefully that the East Coast of the U.S. is well populated even well away from the coast because it's not desert...and that super chargers far inland would not go to waste!

Curt, you sound like me...except my trade in will be a 2004 Chrysler Sebring ! Hopefully, the Chrysler will cover the sales tax!

chickensevil...I totally agree that the limiting factor in bad conditions is the idiot drivers around us...mostly because they have some AWD vehicle and want to prove something to everyone. A couple of years ago I almost got side swiped by a Mercedes AWD driver that got tired of being in a line...

There were so many SCs on that map that I thought it was a joke at first ! Dreaming of picking up my 85D in Tysons and driving to the Shenandoah for the day.

Canuck, he was not saying this literally in any sense at all. It wasn't even a try at humor...it was simple use of an idiomatic expression. E.G. "I was working really hard today, nose to the grindstone."

This is a most distressing thread for me. I'm thinking this is the contactor in the main pack dying. Yes, the jury is out, but this is almost always what is involved in incidents like this. Every time I hear of this issue, I note the age of the car involved, and re-calculate my notion of the...

My only concern about the smaller frunk is that it ends all possible talk of storing a spare tire.

Kevin, you were asking if the service center can be seen from the Metro. Indeed, it can. Here is a photo of the area taken at the Spring Hill station from inside the train. The service center can be seen immediately to the right of the crane.

I much favor Staunton over Lexington. If the SC is at Lexington, folks from the D.C. area dropping off kids at JMU, UVA, Bridgewater, and Mary Baldwin will waste a bunch of miles going further South to Lexington and then back tracking again. Staunton is also convenient to those sight seeing in...

I think the number of quickly accelerating EVs on the road will continue a trend that has been going on for years. At 50, I find myself becoming more and more defensive when driving, and I don't think it's because my reaction times or eyesight were that much better 25 years ago. In the U.S...

As a futurist, I'm glad to embrace a company that can finally surprise me, year in and year out. Wow....I mean, WOW!

+1 randomnpersonx @Volt ....I agree with the above...you can now answer the burning question...do the seats fold flat !!??
