    Tesla Service Center - Chicopee, MA

    The Hartford/Springfield area would have helped so many people including even me in southern vermont. From the article it sounds like permitting killed the project even though the town council voted 12 to 0 in favor of the development. I hope Tesla still has plans to build a service center in...

    Tesla launches Model 3 Highland refresh in North America - No Performance model listed as of 01.10.2024

    Any chance these "North American" Highland M3s are not actually from North America but instead shipped from China? There was so little news around North American factory upgrades. North American could be temporarily getting its Highlands from China while they do the North American factory...

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

    I agree and will add the relatively tame presentation and high prices of the CT make business sense from the perspective of a company which is going to make more Model Ys and and Model 3s in a couple weeks than they will make CTs in years. The price and presentation help direct consumers...

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

    The more I digest what the Cybertruck is, the more excited I become about it as a long term investor. One of the top reasons I invest so much of my money in Tesla is it has most of the best minds and hardest working people in it. What the CT is is a relatively low production test bed for a bunch...

    BYD now the largest BEV manufacturer on earth

    It is not BYD's BEVs that are going up in flames, it is their PHEVs. They should just stop selling their PHEVs altogether to salvage what reputation they have left. Their higher end BEVs are quite good. I would not be surprised if companies like BYD end up buying failed ICE auto companies in...

    Supercharger - Bennington, VT

    This is great. I have been nominating Bennington and some other nearby places the last couple of supercharger competitions because of a back road route I take from Cold Spring, NY to my home in southern vermont. To make it with my aging MX, I have to charge to 100% at Clinton Corners...

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

    Here are my post earnings ramblings: -Disappointed there were no questions about terms with automakers using the supercharger network and long term how much of a profit center the supercharger network might become. -Batteries seem to be progressing well and the robots are becoming more and more...

    Chevy Bolt gets the ax

    You have to go up a trim level with the Bolt as well to get heated seats which puts that starting price at 30.7k and has 259 miles of range slower charging, no AWD option is smaller, etc. That extra ~3.5k adds a lot of value for a Bolt budget shopper to stretch to. It's a screaming deal if the...
