I realy like the look of these prototypes! Will this design make it to production?

The new parking area seems to require that you back out into the drive through lane. Looks like a bad design to me.

Porsche sold 918 copies of the Porsche 918 Spyder for $847,000+. At the time it had the fastest 0-60 time. You might say that Porsche has better brand recognition and customer following, but Tesla has sold the best selling large luxury sedan in the US for the last 3 years. Whether there are...

Yes that is only a destination charger.

Thanks, for the update!, I'm planning on traveling that direction next week and it would be nice to have another charging option.

It's active/dynamic so it may only popup at speed or may be more useful when towing.

The Washington Examiner is a conservative rag. The National Bureau of Economic Research is a private conservative think tank with questionable funding.

I just got some bose noise cancelling headphones and was happily surprised to find that they almost entirely blocked out dynamic music that I was playing on my stereo system. I think that the problem with active noise cancelation in a vehicle is that it won't be able to effectively target its...

Cube vans have horrible aerodynamics. 300 miles of range could easily work out to 150 miles real world. I do agree that most local delivery trucks will soon switch to electric because they stand to save a ton on gas even if the upfront costs are higher.

On this blog post JB said that 19" Cyclones are the most efficient wheel they currently offer: Driving Range for the Model S Family | Tesla Motors I don't see how they can be very aerodynamic considering that they are shaped like a fan and one side sucks in while the other side blows out... But...

I agree, it was nice to turn it on for a bit, but normal was plenty for everyday commuting.

My vehicle made it to Chicago in 4-5 days. I think Ohio should take a week max, but they may be trying to set reasonable expectations so you don't get disappointed if yours takes some time. They may ship vehicles in groups and your car could be the first in a group so it would need to wait for...

When you put your reservation in you can request a delivery date in the future if you want something other than as-soon-as-possible. I put down my reservation after the D event in early October and I requested a March delivery date since that's when my Leaf lease was ending.

91kWh, wieght 1840kg, max torque: 920Nm, RWD, range 400 to 450km P85D weighs 2100kg, with max torque of: 931Nm So it sounds as though it could rival the P85D on the dragstrip, but 0-100km/h is just 3.9sec. This part is Hilarious:

Hmmm my order is still in the Queue even though my delivery date says Late March and I live 2,000 miles away from the factory... I'm betting that I won't see my car till April. I wonder if Tesla is selecting cars for production based on their ability to be delivered in March so they can show up...
