    Best Comments on EV Stories

    My god those comments are purified ignorance. Oh and just for the record, I got a Bosch electric lawnmower (did a little review on goingelectric.de years ago). It has more power than any gasoline mower. Granted, it's a lot pricier but it's built like a tank and cuts even the thickest grass with...

    1) I am not in the UK 2) I am talking about the Model 3 3) This is a well known issue with HW 2.5 Model 3. Glad you don't have it. Don't extrapolate from your Model S to Model 3. I know enough Model 3 owners with this issue to know it's not just my car, or my storage medium. I am now using a...

    2020.16 rolling

    So you have no recordings that are garbled? No files that are 0 bytes in size? I've been using everything from SSDs to USB sticks and SD cards. I've tried about 50 different types and brands, and they all behave the same and I know it's the Model 3 basically hosing the filesystem, it's not the...

    Just checked, nope, still borked. I tried ext4 and ext3. fat32 still works, but with the known issues (filesystem goes kaput after a few weeks). And yes, I chowned the directory to 1984 and also tried chmod 777 and all that. Also, the "format USB" button never turned solid for me.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Would be only consequential if they were using a gasoline engine to run the pump.

    Model 3 got sideswiped, third party repair experiences

    They still need to do a bit of polishing of the clear coat, they just want to wait a few days for that. I'd say the Tesla-approved body shop in Vienna is a lot more professional and knows EVs. This guy, not so much. I had to call him to plug in the car since it went down to 9% battery. But I...

    Model 3 got sideswiped, third party repair experiences

    After almost exactly one year of driving my 3, it finally hit me. Well another car did. The other driver changed lanes without indicating and caused quite some damage, including shearing off the left front tire valve. front and back left doors badly damaged, driver door would not fully open...

    I traded my Tesla for a Lexus

    That is why no cheating was required to pass the emissions tests, right?

    I traded my Tesla for a Lexus

    You have a choice. Don't elevate "I only care about my cabin noise" over real and hard consequences for others. Yes, you're not the only factor, but if you can afford the option and you chose an ICE you chose to add to the direct health issues of others. I had no choice. There was no EV...

    I traded my Tesla for a Lexus

    Sure, the cabin is quiet and not smelly. The smartest invention for the gas car was to put the tailpipe all the way to the rear...

    Tesla chose to do what it does best: half-ass it

    I love it when people hit the "disagree" link but do not post at all. It is flaccid opposition without substance. And foolish in this case too, because I read this as you preferring Tesla to stop all deliveries even for customers who do not benefit from HW3 at all. The only reason why anyone...

    Tesla is once again not selling parts for salvage vehicles.

    That's completely ridiculous and warrants a twitter shipstorm until they make it right. It's absolutely NOT their mission to produce throwaway cars, so maintaining vehicles that work should make sense to them. Sure, lock out cars that were officially totaled from SC for safety reasons if you...

    Tesla chose to do what it does best: half-ass it

    It's still BS. Suspending production is only the right thing to do if you're zerohedge and shorting TSLA. If I was waiting for a new Model 3, and Tesla told me I'd get HW3 later due to logistics issues, I wouldn't have much of an issue with that. I'd be more angry if I had to wait for several...
