One source is a poll by the Norwegian EV owners association, where around half the respondents said that they wouldn't have bought an EV if they'd have to pay in the road tolls around Oslo. - Farlig spill med elbilpolitikken i en kritisk fase The Norwegian EV owners association is very much a...

The rates for a Tesla Model S on nabobil.no is usually around 90 to 130 USD per day. It's definitely a nice train ride... Oslo to Bergen: Europe's best train journey? - Lonely Planet And it's only a short 500 NOK plane ride with Norwegian or SAS Book cheap plane tickets with Norwegian, the...

Try to rent through nabobil.no instead. It's an airbnb-like car rental service.

The whole point of going to Mars is to contaminate it with lifeforms from Earth, including our species eventually. Let's hope they don't find any Martian bacteria the next two years, so that the whole of Mars isn't declared a museum or national park. We need that planet as a backup. Hopefully...

The charging station map on Due Energie's webpages seems to list most the same charging stations as Enel's map: Home Page - Mobility Due Energie Does the Due Energie card work with all the charging stations listed on the map? Is the map accurate, so that I can trust that the charging stations...

Will the European version of Model X have the same type2 charge port as Model S, or will it have a CCS-compatible port? It's only two extra large DC-pins below the type2 port. It would be convenient to be able to charge on rapid chargers without an adapter. Specially now that some charging...

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't really referring to you, just happened to hit reply to your post... :biggrin:

All you non-Norwegians here on TMC seem so hung up in all these wild conspiracy theories (or hoverboard-theories), compared to the discussion on the Norwegian EV forum by Norwegian owners. Maybe because we're such calm, rational people :biggrin:, or maybe because many of you Americans have...

Tesla was supposed to investigate the wreck further together with the insurance company, but Tesla did a deal with the car owner and now the insurance company doesn't own the wreck anymore. Tesla is now shipping the wreck to California...

What are you talking about? Type2 charging stations can deliver up to 43kW AC. Type2 is the charging plug used in Europe, Australia, etc. A Model S without dual chargers will only get 11kW, or 50km/h charging speed. That's painfully slow, like watching paint dry. For some people who like slow...

Tesla PR in Norway just commented the case to state broadcaster NRK: Google Oversetter

Aluminium (which is used in the Model S) has a much lower melting point than steel (which is used in most other cars). 660C vs approx 1350C. Which explains why the result of this fire look much more extreme than maybe it is. This might just be how any Model S will look after a fire in the...

The supercharger at Sundebru / Brokelandsheia has been closed since this incident happened on January 1st. But the supercharger is still visible in the nav in the car and in Teslas web map of superchargers, without any notes. I'm sure that Tesla is aware that this supercharger is down. Why...

The supercharger slots can be very narrow at times. I've experienced both cars having to fold mirrors. My wife now thinks Tesla should increase spacing in the supercharger slots for safety reasons, in the unlikely case of an emergency evacuation. Lack of space between charging cars shouldn't...

Do the doors open from the inside when 12V is unexpectedly cut off?
