    Two Questions for Those Who Were There

    Thanks for the responses. The look is growing in me. In a couple of years I have full spousal go-ahead for any Tesla I want. Not sure what yet, though. Might be the truck

    Two Questions for Those Who Were There

    1. Do you think the truck bed is designed for folks who want to tow 5th wheelers? I kinda doubt it but have no perception of the truck bed depth given the slope from The roofline, and 2. Are there simple amenities inside, such as cup holders and USB ports?? I ask because I plan to haul a...

    Sloped roof and drag

    Yes, the slopes roof contributes significantly to the 0.23 drag coefficient I recall Elon Musk saying during the unveiling. This affects range in a big way.

    Model Y Hits Tesla Website With New Teaser Image

    They also changed the order of the cars, from left to right. It now reads S 3 X Y Roadster. Aah, yeah

    From 340xi to Tesla dual motor Model 3 - mini comparo.

    You purchased the dual motor version; was this done because of better\traction control in winter? Or because you wanted the white interior. This is the one trade I haven’t been able to sort out in my head

    In Poipu, Kauai HI on Vacation

    It IS good, and these islands are magical!! Got here yesterday and am loving every minute of it. It would be so cool to see any electric vehicle meet-ups while here. Wishing I had mine....

    In Poipu, Kauai HI on Vacation

    and saw a dark gray metallic M3 in a local neighborhood. I assume this is the only M3 in Hawaii!!

    The Doubters Just Don’t Get It

    Lol - even my spouse has finally given up on printing everything!! It DOES take a long time for people to culturally change.

    Blog Which Model 3 Color Will You Choose?

    Not a bad car for a sixteen year old. I paid $650 for it and did all the work myself except for the actual Maaco paint job (for $59.99). I really miss that car!!

    Blog Which Model 3 Color Will You Choose?

    Having seen each color in mid day and evening light, I’m reverting back to my TR-4 days, to red. The blue was a close second. I’ve had too many white cars in my life, and have never liked black. My Leaf had mighnight silver, so no repeat of a recent color choice.

    Using phone as a key. Not a good idea.

    Agree, it is a problem that needs to be addressed, not a design issue that needs to be fundamentally changed. Deleting the use of a key fob is as impactful as going fully electric, to some. There’s no doubt that implementing the key functions in a phone app would be troublesome at first, like...

    A Funny Thing About Door Gaps

    I’ve owned an Acura MDX since new in 2016. We love the car, my spouse especially; we paid north of $50k for it. Just today I noticed a gap in the c-pillar. What did I do - nothing, because the car works great, is quiet and does not rattle. This got me to thinking about the myriad of posts...

    Having Spent the Last 3 Weeks in Versailles France

    In all fairness, I do have a rental...but the drivers rear view mirror is broken, so it doesn’t unfold automatically nor move up/down and left/right. I have to do that manually. It also is very low on oil so I negotiated a free quart of oil and added it myself (oil is about €13 here per...

    Having Spent the Last 3 Weeks in Versailles France

    I was walking around today and saw a Renault Zoe (Vehicle Hub | ZOE | Cars | Renault UK) drive by - any electric vehicle person can spot them a mile away! I’ve grown fond of how the Renault Clio zips around - especially in the snow and ice of central France this last week. Zoe looks perfect...
