I think Tesla has done everything they should. No computer system is 100% secure and safe (at least a connected system). Tesla did due diligence, worked with security researchers, fixed the bug, deployed the patch to customers before the exploit was known to the public. These are not the...

Wouldn't that depend on whether the browser or the wifi stack had the vulnerability? If the browser had the vulnerability then you would be correct and the article is wrong. If the bug is in the wifi stack but is only exploitable through traffic from the browser (since it doesn't go over the...

It's not worth hacking the car to get the webbrowser, it really isn't that useful anyway.

I might be weird but I never even think of that. We just go where we need to go and if necessary use a supercharger on the way home. Maybe because our country is smaller and we have good supercharger coverage this really never becomes an issue for me. Also almost every friend we ever visit has...

Are you seriously that worried about range? Even if I go 60-80 miles one-way I almost never worry about it. Maybe it's because I know most of the areas I drive through very well. But I consider every-day range worries to be a thing of the past. For longer trips I just the trip-planner, it's...

Lets hope not. :)

Neither would I :) A danish car would look like a million bucks, but the tech would all be custom made and nothing would work that well. Except for the windmill you would deploy to charge it.

I actually agree that european (in effect german) cars are pretty expensive to maintain in the US. Prices for parts are way different on both sides of the atlantic pond. Daewoo was actually not asscociated with Chevrolet when I had my cars. They were essentially re-branded Opel cars built in...

As a European I would never ever have considered any american car ever. In my country they are mostly seen (whether deserving or not) as trash on wheels with low build quality and way too expensive. What cars have I owned: - VW Transporter (1986) - Daewoo Lanos (Korean) - suprisingly reliable...

It would be great if you could post some statistics of your power-usage/how efficient the powerwall is. As someone who pays a brick-ton for power from the grid and get paid almost nothing to sell it this looks very interesting. I would love more info about how much you "sell back" vs store and use.

I am looking into getting solar-panels for our house. Does anybody know if powerwalls are actually shipping in Europe? Or even better are any shipping in Denmark?

I think we are missing a key point here. We don't know for how long Tesla's been working on the Model 3. It's not like the company can only work on one thing at the time. I'll bet that a team has been working on things like the drive-train, battery pack and probably software for years now. The...

I've driven thousands of km's with the autopilot system by now and my impression is that it really does reduce road-rage. Now granted I was never much of an agressive driver, but I find that with the autopilot system I just generally "don't care". Example: Guy in front of me drives with uneven...

In my personal experience I prefer a RWD Model S over the AWD. With good winter-tires they both handle very well in snowy conditions. They don't handle the same, but both models are very predictable and easy to drive. Now there is no doubt that the AWD system is slightly more efficient...

Ok why don't we do the math on this one? The amount of power hitting the ground from the sun is at best 1120 w/m2. How much surface area does a Model S have? Lets assume the car was a perfect flat square. Such a car would have a surface area of 9,77 m2. Now assume that our magical technology...
