I paid $250,000 a little over 6 years ago to the day, for a 2020 Roadster Founder's Series reservation. Since order confirmation, I have literally never heard from Tesla -- even by email, and I only have a reservation confirmation number on their website. I've tried contacting them numerous...

At the 0:45 mark here you see an F1 car do a full 180 degree turn at the Fairmont hairpin turn in Monaco. Note the steering wheel requires just over 180 degrees of movement to execute the ‘U-turn’ which is the worst case. This is quite manageable as A normal a 90 degree right or left turn can be...

I am keeping my FS Roadster reservation for a few reasons. They are "working out the kinks" now as they make more cars. The company is a learning machine, so don't worry as much about any big changes the way we have seen with earlier models when the company was and is still very much in...

The SpaceX version will not use of fuel obviously since this is the smack down proving electric is the future. It will not fly either - this is 2030 stuff not 2020 as it’s too dangerous and drivers are not qualified for this. But it could be faster using ion thruster tech or some sort of...
