and all I could think was, why did Elon shave his head?

As others have noted, the model conveniently ignores several inputs to pollution, including pollution associated with fuel extraction, production and transportation. It also performs the study on a marginal 1000 vehicles basis. Doing it on this basis may simplify the modelling but is...

You'd think that after all the employee poaching Apple has done to Tesla, that Tesla would switch their priorities to the Android app. But NO, we still have to put up with no notifications and smiting lightning bolts ;) PS: When I go away for several days, I just lower my SOC target to 50% and...

Don't all our cars come with kittens? As for naming: Edison cat-purr-ator cat-thode Nikola tabby Watts-purr-meow Puss-in-frunk...

Agree. Also add to that battery management is probably more efficient in the 85 versus the 70 on a per kWh basis.

He probably wanted to show off the superior road hold of the tires that come with the secret + version.

The US Grant just put in Tesla destination charging.

+1 -- Thank you indeed

I agree there is an issue. There are plenty of 2014 cars that should have parking sensors and don't list them. It would be nice if they set up the search capability a bit better so you could do a search for a car with the features you want instead of just browsing. Maybe they'll add that...

Hmmm... I though shutting off the power supply before beginning work was electrical engineering 101 ;)

While I don't doubt that's true in the Bay Area and SoCal, it is certainly not the case in Tesla's key markets in Europe and Asio, where Android dominates. It's just a resource prioritization issue. It appears App improvements in general have taken a back seat to Car software improvements.

Thanks for the update and pic.

I hope all P85D drivers are received appropriate James Bond Style g-force training before attempting launches: There is a centrifugal bond present - YouTube

The person in question had their head firmly planted against the seat, so there wouldn't have been any impact force. It sounds like the launch may have scared the guy, causing him to tense up. If the driver took his foot off the peddle all of a sudden, that might be enough to wrench a neck. I...

Most likely acute hypochondria. The 1g of acceleration when you "launch" the P85D is literally the same magnitude of force constantly applied the brain by gravity. And that 1g is exceeded by many other activities like jerking your head around during active exercise, skiing, etc.
