    "Secret Sauce" power upgrade coming - beyond Ludicrous

    I watched the video before it was taken down. I stumbled upon this article that came out a while ago. You'll notice that it uses the same secret sauce phrase. Perhaps the upgrade he was testing out was tuned for performance rather than an increase in range. Temporarily increased inverter...

    "GM's Reaction" to Tesla Model 3 Unveiling

    This was a video on Tesla Motors subreddit that I wanted to share. IMO it's a funny and (somewhat) accurate depiction of the GM board room right now. Credit to /u/Derfein

    Tesla Priorities: Refine Autopilot or Fix Everything Else?

    I'm suddenly unable to find the Mercedes-Benz drive pilot feature videos. There were a bunch of them lately. There were impressive videos of pedestrian detection. There was another video about active crash avoidance in regards to a car traveling perpendicular to you (red light running). The...

    Tesla Priorities: Refine Autopilot or Fix Everything Else?

    Mercedes may invalidate your first statement. In some areas they're ahead with the 2017 E-Class.

    Risk of autopilot being used for nefarious purposes

    This topic is sensational. I imagine they would use something cheaper. It's so unlikely it's not even worth mentioning. I know the Model S and X have a large amount of... ahem... space for "cargo," but it's just completely unrealistic. You're making it sound there's someone meaning to do harm...

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    Elon specifically said that maximum plaid is being introduced with the second generation roadster around 2019.

    Do FWD's auto-close when driving (and what speed)?

    I have always wanted to see the Model X beat a race car at the drag strip with both of its falcon wing doors up.

    Tesla Employee Satisfaction Improvement

    Just a brief question. I was browsing through Glassdoor last night and came upon the Tesla Motors reviews page. The majority of the reviews seem to be moderately positive. A couple of the more reasonable negative ones raised some interesting concerns. A challenging work life balance and turnover...

    Tesla bans Stewart Alsop from buying Model X

    I can't attest for the accuracy but perhaps these Reddit comments are relevant? (Regarding Paypal) First Comment Second Comment

    Overnight Test Drive Option?

    I have heard of overnight test drives for exotic cars. They must only extend that offer to well-qualified buyers.

    Akon's A Tesla Fanboi

    People can like something without knowing much about it, that's not a crime. How much do you actually know about the intricacies of every single thing you use and experience on a daily basis? He's obviously had a wide selection of exotic cars to use in the past.

    WARNING: I rear-ended someone today while using Auto Pilot in my brand new P90D!

    Only he can truly answer that if he would have crashed if certain factors were altered. I'm not arguing legal liability. My interpretation of the wording leads me to believe that there was a reasonable distance. And I disagree. Autopilot (and AEB) does make a difference. It makes a difference...

    Firmware 7.1

    Apparently someone has figured out a fix for the time-based nagging (partial sarcasm).
