I recently bought a Subaru and in the course of the first 400 miles I had two punctured tires. The punctures were sharp rocks going right through the tread blocks of the OEM Bridgestone Duellers. I replaced the tires with proper tires for gravel and dirt roads (Yokohoma Geolanders) and in the...

I am reminded of the quote "all Corvettes are red, the rest are mistakes". Well, that Roadster may not be a Corvette, but it sure ain't a mistake either...

I've owned Teslas for about 6 years and in that time I've supercharged a lot and also charged daily, often to 100%. If there has been any battery degradation, it's minor. If you are trying to preserve your car so that in 10 years it has the same capabilities as it had when new, perhaps you...

Maybe I'm missing something, but where are there Lincoln cop cars? I usually see either Ford Explorers or Dodge Chargers. Cop cars are pretty heavily modified from the factory versions. They have beefed up suspensions, interiors made to hold, er, uh, less than cooperative individuals who may...

On the point above about EV impact on the environment, where does Yellowstone get it's electricity from? Most of Wyoming's comes from coal.

I don't compartmentalize, I prioritize what I do with my limited time. I don't think about Elon Musk as an individual. I think about what Tesla does. I'm not into hero worship, but I don't overlook corporate misdeeds either. I'm not sure why you're bringing up sexual assault. I thought this...

I just drove past this new supercharging station and it was full at 2 pm...That's a pretty quick 0 to full pace.

I'm glad I wasn't just in the right place at the right time. It reminds me of back when the BMW 3 series was everywhere. I actually don't see that many BMW 3 series anymore.

Over the long holiday weekend I was in the Napa Valley and was shocked at how many Model 3s I saw on the road. I know the Bay Area is a hub of Tesla sales, but it seemed like the Model 3 was the most popular car on the road this weekend (and that's not an exaggeration). Whatever production...
