I often drive over the North Cascades highway to go mountain climbing, and this past weekend I saw a Model S driving over the pass between Marblemount and Winthrop. This pass is known for its scenery and remoteness. A Model S has sufficient range to easily make it over, but over and back is a...

I think this video highlights the human response to breaking a long over due status quo. Well done Tesla!

How about some simple math: buy + hold = SQUEEZE Its a theory... :-)

Ha, Nice! I got a rack for my compound bow on my Cervelo road bike, certainly would enjoy a gun rack when I get a Tesla. Also, forget the environmental and political arguments for a moment; Electric Motors are amazingly powerful and efficient; IMO the fastest, best handling, and highest...

I agree, IMO if there is more than 1 type of on-board fuel, its a hybrid, don't care if its gas and hydrogen, electric and natural gas, electric and hydrogen, gas and electric, diesel and fairy dust... I think the only exception I would make is for (any of the above) and human powered pushing...

If you are looking for a reason to buy another, I am sure there are plenty of us who would enjoy a gift :-) Hey thanks for the info DonPedro. It is a real trick trying to determine how much of the stocks' recent run is a result of a "short squeeze" and how much it is people buying because due...

You are correct in your thinking, but let me clarify. Wind Resistence, also called Drag Force (Fd). Fd = 1/2p v^2 Cd A P is the density of air V is velocity Cd is the cars measured drag coefficient A is the face Area Reducing either A or Cd will ultimately reduce the drag force. (An...

I was well aware of the different transmission ratios for the front and rear of the model X and think that is a great solution. Also as you stated, wind resistence increase with the square of velocity, thus power to push through the extra drag increases with the cube of velocity, hence the...

Thanks for the responses. I suspected this was the response I would get regarding the transmission. I was really just curious in the 4-5 years since it was last mentioned if they had made any progress on the idea or if they just dropped the idea completely. But I agree, there is inherent...

I have searched the forum and found little mention of 2 features I would love to see on future EV's from Tesla (Perhaps my forum searching skills are somewhat poor?). 1. An AWD Model S - Why? Because I drive frequently on compact snow and ice and would like the benefit of improved handling...
