    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Will that stop Putin from claiming it as his own?

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Don't forget that California was once Russian too - at least the northern part. Russian River - Fort Ross - Russian Gulch - Sebastopol . . .

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    First of all, the dying (murdering) will not stop. Just inform yourself of what is happening in the occupied regions. As Putin has stated a few times, he wants to eradicate Ukraine, make it disappear entirely. Second, to all I can gather Trump has no mind of his own, he does what Putin tells...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Picture this: The entire east coast of the United States including Texas are occupied by some foreign military power. They deport most children to some re-education camps, kill civilians at random, force everybody to speak their language and denounce anything that resembles American values...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    It is my understanding that the Russians don't 'pay back'. They destroy everything they possibly can as fast as they can regardless of anything else. What Ukraine is doing to Russia has no influence on Putin's fervor to destroy them. For example if he would negotiate a peace deal with Zelenskiy...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    As far as I can tell negotiating with Putin and/or Russia would be totally meaningless. Take a look at a map that shows the largest expansion of the Russian empire (1895). That is what they are working toward - now, in the past and in the future, by any means possible, but preferably through...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    As we all know there is no agreements/contracts/promises/treaties . . . Putin will honor. So making any 'terms' with Russia is absolutely meaningless. Ukraine knew that it does not make a iota of a difference whether they keep their end of the bargain or not - it will not influence Russia's...

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

    It is one thing to maneuver into a tight parking spot once in a great while. It is something entirely different driving on a very narrow road into a city with even narrower streets and impossibly narrow parking spots.

    Is my battery toast?

    Unless you have al LFP battery, you now have the problem of having your battery sitting at 100% which is definitely bad for it. Find a way to discharge it to 50% as soon as possible. It degrades pretty badly if left at 100%. Even LFP batteries do not like to sit at 100% for a long time.

    Tesla Unionization

    2daMoon said: "If the idea is to make the workplace, conditions, and salary better, then come to the table with examples of how the company isn't meeting those standards and work from there." To all I can gather from the info on this forum and other sources this is not the reason for IF Metal...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Look at what they are actually doing: Russia is obliterating Ukraine, the same way it leveled Grozny* and many other places it 'expanded' to . Is NATO obliterating Finland, Poland, Montenegro . . . ? There is definitely a big difference between the expansion of NATO and the 'expansion' of...

    Humming Noise Model 3 Performance Michelin Pilot All Season 4

    You might have a 'reed' effect problem. There is a possibility that some part of your fender liner - or any other movable part - is just loose enough to vibrate like a reed in an musical instrument (bassoon or oboe) to create the sound you describe. It would be wind speed dependent. Your...

    EV drivetrains take twice as long to assemble as internal combustion engines

    If I recall correctly Herbert Diess (ex VW) mentioned that it takes Volkswagen 30 hours to make a EV but Tesla makes it in 10 hours. So, take your pick 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

    Are you still on the original battery pack with your 2012-2015 Model S?

    Glad you asked this question. We rarely hear from those who have no problems - the silent majority. Mine is a January 2013 85 with 79,000 miles, 220 miles range. Rarely supercharged, normally charge to 75%. Got it used with 18,000 miles in 2016 @ 248 miles range. Had a big reduction in range...
