    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Which specific money did the US government allocate to SpaceX to subsidize the creation of Starlink? No, a US government launch contract isn't a subsidy.

    Austin Build 2023 Quality Tracker

    Just took delivery of PA190xxx in Carlsbad CA. Model Y LR. The car was almost flawless, went over the car with a checklist the next day. Found one very slight issue with the right rear passenger door but overall very good quality. The lower part of the rear door seems to be a little proud of...

    The DOJ Tesla probe has expanded to include EV driving ranges

    Not even close because I don't drive like they do for the EPA range test in my Leaf. Just like I have never owned a ICE car that got the actual MPG on the Monroney sticker. All it does is tell me the expected MPG using the EPA method so it gives me the same baseline to compare different...

    The DOJ Tesla probe has expanded to include EV driving ranges

    As a Nissan Leaf owner I can tell you the Tesla Range meter is more accurate than the Range meter in my Leaf. I recently rented a Model Y and drove it 800+ miles in a week. I just used the battery percentage instead of miles of range and I found the battery percentage to be really accurate...

    Moving a Powerwall to a new home

    I am moving houses in Southern California and I currently have two Tesla Powerwall's. I have already told the listing agent to exclude them from the listing contract and we would be moving them to the new house. A couple of Solar Installers were not willing to move the Powerwall's. I just got...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Ok that makes sense. If the Tesla stock is lower, he will just have to put up more stock as collateral. From what I understand for every $100 value of Tesla stock he is allowed to borrow $20.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    If the WSJ is correct, he faces a Margin call when the stock drops by 43% which would mean something below $600.

    Disappointing how electric car owners are being bashed lately in the news…

    For those who don't have access to L1-L2 charging at their residence wouldn't we use the model of DC charging for them? For example DC fast chargers in a Grocery store parking lot so as they shop for groceries they can charge their vehicle.

    I have lost track the number of times I have seen this picture pop-up lately with somebody claiming that this picture demonstrates that somehow Tesla and EV's are just a fraud.

    Disappointing how electric car owners are being bashed lately in the news…

    I have seen some increasing FUD about EV's lately. I swear that as EV's become more practical the FUD level increases from some people. Gas price hikes fueling electric vehicle conspiracy theories Some social media users suggest that soaring fuel prices in the U.S. aren’t the result of...

    Are Tesla coming out ahead in CA $5-6 gas?

    In the discussion about the cost of charging at home. One thing that I really like about charging my EV at home is that the cost of charging is fairly consistent. Usually your per kwh cost of electricity is stable month to month with some changes year to year as new rates go into effect...
