cleantechnica.com estimates 6" based on photos , which is only 1/2 inch higher than the M3. I can't believe anyone can seriously call the M3 an SUV. It's a hatchback Pure and simple. Well, maybe the third row makes it a mini-minivan. But SUV? No way. And I actually really like it. Tesla...

The gist of this call is that it's better to have a single integrated product/system than separate systems. Yeah, financially it'll be difficult in the short term (and may even sink the company, IMHO), but from a customer perspective a seamlessly integrated system of solar...

I'm driving to work and thinking of whether to sell some investments and pick up TSLA today. At a stoplight I look up and a sign, a vision, appears right in front of me (see photo, I adjusted contrast so the 'sign' could be seen better). Maybe I should put everything into TSLA! :) Or maybe...

This is probably preaching to the choir here, but PBS running a program on Frontline soon exposing Saudi Arabia's brutality, "Saudi Arabia Uncovered". I think everyone who uses oil should watch this. "With undercover footage and on-the-ground reporting, FRONTLINE reveals what life is like in...

It's from a reverse hash of embedded Model S software. It's being discussed on this thread: Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench) - Page 104

P100D Jason Hughes on Twitter:

I would say, "Tim Cook, is that you?"

Your linked thread seems to prove that the Fully Charged video is correct. Quote : While technically true as others have noted refineries make most of their own power which creates considerable pollution. I can say our Plat site used less than 5% grid electric which is true. But the other...

You're right that it's not impossible. The owner has a 220 mile round-trip commute and is able to charge at work. Erick Belmer is the proud owner of a 2012 Volt, As Belmer tells InsideEVs, the Volt was purchased on March 28, 2012. Since then, it’s seen a daily commute of 220 miles there and...

Yes, a Tesla 85 Kwh battery is estimated to have 76 kwh available when new, or about 90% of total capacity. My recollection is that the 2011-2015 Volts were really conservative and utilized about 65% of total capacity. I think one of the reasons that the electric range on the 2016 Volt jumped...

“We’ve seen what I would call pharmaceutical levels of quality in cell production. Of the more than 20 million cells that have been produced for the first generation Chevy Volt, we’ve seen less than 2 problems per million cells produced.” Larry Nitz, General Motors’ vice president of...

My thoughts exactly. If you've ever watched the Simpson episode where Homer designs a car, that's kind of what the Model X rollout reminded me of (way less preposterous of course in the case of the Model X). But the it just seemed like every new idea was greenlit to the point that the car is...

I'm not a reservation holder, but I feel your pain. I remember watching the Model X reveal in early 2012 and actually believing Musk's statement that the Model X would delivered in late 2013. Or 2014 at the latest. Short-term, I have to wonder if TSLA will fall because of the failure to...

"Thank you for confirming your attendance to the Model X Launch Event..." was the official wording. I think, Zaxxon, that you were being somewhat ironic when you called it a 'launch'. Amiright? Because it wasn't what anyone else would call a 'launch event' since it doesn't appear as if even a...

I agree 100%. I found it very painful to watch Elon stumble through the launch, and it may not all have been his fault. There were times when Elon was waiting - for the Model X to appear, for a slide to change, etc., which means the event was poorly put together or rehearsed. Not to mention...
