I just got home from a long distance trip from Wyoming to southern Arizona and back. Several things stick out in my mind concerning the car and the charging infrastructure.

First, I had more trouble with superchargers being off line or not working properly than during all the trips I took in the pa...

I think the sentiment of this article is on key, but details seem so wrong.

2024 Tesla Model 3: Good Enough to Be Elon-Proof? — The Wall Street Journal

In a softening EV market, the Tesla CEO’s remarks have made some buyers wary of the brand. The new Model 3 is such an irresistible value proposition, says Dan Neil, that it may not matter.

Another sad day for solar owners in CA. Now it will take me longer to recoup the cost of my solar system

I'm assuming the PW's time shifting benefits/payback will be reduced since they will lower the rates.

According to Whole Mars Catalog, a Consumer Reports recent review rated Mercedes-Benz Driver Assistance with a higher score than Tesla Autopilot.

Probably not a fair comparison when using FSD V12.3.6, but quite funny to watch none the less..

I have a 25 mile loop that I do controlled efficiency testing on. I have done extensive testing with the 20" Uberturbine wheels and the stock Pirelli PZ4 tires vs. the 18" T Sportline wheels I have but that was always with different tires. Yesterday, I was finally able to test 18" wheels vs. 20" whe...

It’s been a blast, literally. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my Tesla adventure over the last 5 years but I have started the countdown to the lease expiry date and I think I’ve made a decision on my next car. My needs have changed with WFH. Superchargers open to all seals the deal. I’ll try to be considera...

China is Tesla's second-biggest market but the company has not enabled autonomous driving in the country.

Thought I would document the changes to our new MYLR purchased the end of March. We were gone for the past 3 weeks, so this week is really my first week behind the wheel. I'm 68, and have always been a car guy, and still am. I have been fortunate enough to have had several articles published in au...

Everyone is wondering how much better the Model 3 Performance time can get with the new vehicle. This post will attempt to show how impactful a very small decrease in 60 foot time can be for your total 1/4 mile time. I have 4 separate runs down the same lane of the same track with my 2022 Model 3 Pe...

News yesterday is that the entire 500+ person word-wide SC team has been let go. That is alarming. Why would Elon sack the execs and all the employees of this important part of Tesla's business? Could Tesla be selling the SC network off to a third party? Opinions? Other theories?

Someone asked a while back to see what the new Nova wheels look like without the aero trim pieces.
Took them all off for ceramic coating this weekend, and thought to take some photos to save people the annoying task of removing them all.
Personally, I will be putting the trim pieces back on. But wit...
