Separate names with a comma.
Judging from my neighborhood and the local dealerships, maybe 25%. On other forums, I've seen many complaints that real work trucks have gotten...
My wife is looking for a new job and one of the companies will require a great deal of driving, so she's interested in buying a car with limited...
I'd agree a floor unit is the way to go. I put a mini-split in my master bedroom when I was renovating my house. The rest of the house gets by...
Have to agree 58 seems way too high. I had a two-ton heatpump on my last place and it was rated at 22 LRA. Running amps were around 12. Had a...
All of the above. And totally ignoring anything I said. Woodisgood: The Model 3 would be rather difficult to accommodate at our home. And...
Our local store finally got a Model 3 in, so my wife and I stopped to take a look as she is re-considering buying one. Got "attacked" by a...
On the one hand, electricity is 0.15/Kwh here, on the other, regular gas is $3.46/gal. The tilts is a bit away from the Tesla. The gripping hand...
The only public charging spot near my house doubles as a handicap spot. I've never seen anyone use it, even though it is inside the enterance of...
If the Model Y was actually a hatchback and 10% smaller than a Model 3, I'd be back in line. Oh well, it will probably be 3-4 years before we...
As I noted several months ago, the Model X has almost exactly the same footprint as my 2004 Sprinter. The Model X is rather old technology by...
Our 2006 Kia Spectra5 (sub-compact hatchback) has 18/53. Given the size of the Model Y (assuming it isn't much larger than a 3 externally), 30/65...
I have some high power experience from the Navy and I'm not certain there is an insulation that can handle 10,000 volts in a single cable at the...
It will be interesting when the first offroad-capable EVs (Bollinger Motors) hit the market. Zero speed torque, independent control of each...
I really don't think the Y will have enough space for jump seats, unless it has one heck of a tail overhang.
Studded tires are obsolete. The new tread formulations for traction tires perform better than studs under all conditions from dry pavement to wet...
One simple way to improve A/C efficiency is water cooling of the condenser, either by spraying water on the condenser or using an evaporative...
I think much will depend on how fast the Singapore plant gets started. If they source batteries locally and ship in an assembly line or two from...
Not too surprised that Portland, OR isn't on the list. Although I see Prius' and Leafs occasionally, they are never on the dealership lots. Just...
Amazing how much humor can be extracted from a simple spelling error. That said, Teslas seem to be rare in the Portland, OR area. Lots of Prius...
Coming back from SF (to Portland) on Monday, we saw a Model 3 and two Model S on I5. I've rarely seen one Tesla in a day, so these were a bit of...
I'm glad that Tesla has finally come out with a fob and think that every current owner should get one free if they want it. I suspect you would...
Another option would be to use the Model 3 front motor, saving development costs.
I've been watching battery technology for almost 30 years and there isn't anything, even at the lab stage, that provides the energy density needed...
Interesting, but I'd settle for a cargo van built on the second generation Model X. It would need to be tall enough that I could walk around in it...
I'm inclined to agree with ratsbew right down the line, but I do want adaptive cruise control and emergency braking. I need enough power to...
I'm inclined to agree. The Smart car is basically a roll-cage with a roof and doors. It will be very difficult to make an even smaller car that...
Does this look a lot like a Prius V or am I imagining things?
I suspect most trucking companies would do exactly the same thing with Tesla trucks as they do for any other manufacturer: send mechanics to Tesla...
Looking at other articles, fire control in an accident seems to be a factor. Preventing a fire in one module from spreading to other ones.
All of my shares are in retirement accounts. I do qualify as an accredited investor, IF retirement funds are included, but even so, with only 330...
Bear in mind, there's a limit of 2000 entities in private corporations. Slots will go to the largest holders first and small stockholders will...
Several articles have the Model Y being built in the upcoming China factory. If it is a compact SUV, that would make a great deal of sense.
I seen a few panic-stricken comments (all from companies heavily shorted on Tesla) that "No one in their right mind would fund a company that has...
Although I've seen several comments about what it would cost to go private, none of them seem to consider Musk's ownership share. That cuts the...
I would probably keep 100%. All of my Tesla stock is in my retirement funds and I've got another six years before I have to tap them.
I'd be interested in a van. I've mentioned size being a show-stopper for the Model 3, but that's comparing it to our Kia. Our other vehicle is a...
The current plan is to build the Model Y initially in China, which is a much wealthier country.
I believe there is a much higher demand for a hatchback, particularly in Europe. Unfortunately, I believe Musk's mother was scared by a station...
Longer and skinnier also impact handling and not in a good way. Most people aren't all that concerned with the second or third row comfort.
The EPA number for the RWD is 334 miles. It will be interesting to see what the efficiency for the SD version will be with the lighter battery. I...
Tesla is advertising the same range for the performance version as for RWD. The EPA numbers are 116 and 130 respectively. Musk asked that the...
Just a small reminder: this is a tax credit, not a refund/rebate, if you don't expect to pay over $7500 in taxes this year, you lose part of the...
Maybe the forum needs to adopt a system that prevents people from posting new threads until a certain time period has passed and/or they have...
Interesting, it looks almost the same as the damage our Kia took before we owned it: front quarter panel, driver's door, front bumper, no...
Way back in the beginning, a sub-compact in the $25k range was on Tesla's plate, then it was off, now it seems to be back on. Since I canceled my...
I continue to be puzzled by the "Tesla killer" mentality. Tesla is eating into the ICE market and any new entries would be doing the same. Unlike...
I don't know if the Smart forfour EV will make it to the USA, but it sounds like it might be an option. We have to have a four-seater.
That's to be added for the 2019 Leaf. The graphs I've seen comparing the 24 kwhr and 30 kwhr are appalling. The 30 kwhr loses capacity 3-4 times...
The smaller than Model 3/Y vehicle has been on and off and on and off and might be on again according to Musk's comments at last week's...
Another point that "analysts" have been hammering: Tesla can't make money on the Model 3. A recent teardown and costs estimate by a German company...
