Separate names with a comma.
I've kinda stopped following the overall EV market since we've got our two now and I don't expect to replace either for some years to come. So, my...
The article said it was 55F, hardly a big power-suck, although indeed in the sweet spot for heat pumps. For that matter as a cold-weather driver...
That sounds right. That said, for my purposes (and, I would guess, those of most drivers) range is most important for highway driving. I for one...
I just reread it and I’m still not seeing it. That said, it’s completely possible. There’s a reason Poe’s law was coined.
I would. You may not think the ESA is a good buy, fine — but the above is just fearmongering.
I did it simply for peace of mind. As luck would have it, just a few months after it came into effect, my air suspension needed more than a...
I've recently noticed two changes in AP1's behavior. I'm currently at 2019.40.21. First, it's possible to dial TACC down all the way to zero if I...
One thing that's not obvious to new owners or those who don't drive in the cold that often, is that range loss in the cold is highly dependent on...
My understanding is that it's considered ideal for average SoC to be 50%, meaning that if you expect to use (say) 20% during a given day, you'd...
I agree with that part, especially since Tesla is offering a RWD version of the Cybertruck. On that part, it really depends on what the test is...
I said just now I plan to make my first billion by next Tuesday. I'm targeting the launch of my Mars colony near the end of 2021. Relevant...
Thanks. Perversely, after my car finally finished charging at 16A, when I went out to unplug and move it (so my wife could charge) I found the...
The UMC2 handle is definitely snug. I've considered putting some silicone grease on it, but overall it didn't seem like a prudent thing to do. I...
I normally charge my early 2015 Model S using the original-version 40A UMC that came with it. But, that one is out of commission for a while ever...
I don't understand (or agree with) this point at all. It's funny that you present turning creep off as "pretending" something -- surely turning...
Huh, there must be substantial variability between cars I guess. Moderate pressure is enough to engage hold on my early 2015 Model S. I had a...
Unless I've slipped a decimal place somewhere, an array with a nameplate rating of 1MW would require around 3,333 panels, which works out to...
I've seen it claimed elsewhere, and have no reason to doubt it, that hard acceleration is in fact not more energy-hungry than mild acceleration....
Right. This should be burned into the memory of anyone who lived through the 1970s and the "drive 55" campaign in the USA. That was all about...
My tweet for your upvoting pleasure. “@elonmusk v10 web browser grabs the whole screen, makes it a bad citizen, no longer useful for TeslaWaze,...
Thanks. I've done so, though my past results with servicehelpna have been... not great. I might also tweet at Elon, apparently that occasionally...
I don't use the web browser very often, but when I do it's usually for TeslaWaze, which in turn I am using for obstacle warnings (including speed...
How much home heating is required across the majority of India or Nigeria? If (as I think is the case) the markets you’ve named require mostly...
Disclaimer, I haven't yet read the Jalopnik article. However, my impression to date was that the transmission was to get a handle on heat at high...
It must vary regionally. I don't think they're that common in my area (natural gas is the norm) but much more common than resistive electrical...
You can also install the loop vertically. I have four 200' deep wells drilled alongside my driveway for this purpose.
Sure. It's evidence Tesla's not just going to rest on their laurels, though. (You could refer to it as "heavily modified", or you could refer to...
If only. I paid for the rearview mirror replacement, it was out of warranty. And not cheap. They broke the windshield when doing the repair, so...
Well, sort of. Tell it to my last Audi, where the self-dimming glass in the rearview mirror burst when I left it parked outdoors one summer. I...
Yeah, many of the people commenting there just don't get it (but are convinced they do). Same, although the proof of the pudding is in the...
My guess is that, perversely, the higher the price, the less important the range (and the charging network), because... ... that is exactly what...
I guess maybe? On the other hand, I use my S for road trips all the time, it's never made me say "oh I really wish I had an X for this".
Yes, keeping in mind that you don't have to confine yourself to Tesla branded destination chargers, and also to look for places with a close by...
Except I wonder how many of those miles are given back by butchering the aerodynamics of the car?
Sure, no doubt. I guess I'm still struggling to get over the scarring from too many meetings where I heard "we really want to liquid-cool this...
No kidding? OK, live and learn.
"With [...] a top speed of about 30 mph, the company [Kaiyun Motors, that is] believes their mini electric vehicles are more than enough to meet...
I'd be really surprised if any of the onboard processors were liquid cooled.
Yeah, a few weeks ago I went through there on a Sunday afternoon and I had to wait (I was the first of two waiting). It's the first time I've ever...
I guess if they find the need for 14-50 in the field is low, it's a sensible corner to cut. I confess I've never once used mine other than in my...
OK, that annoys me more than any of the price decrease stuff I've read on this thread. It doesn't even affect me and it annoys me. Is Tesla trying...
No. I get that you are, though. Wait a minute, they've stopped providing a 14-50 adapter?!? That's just bizarre. It's, like, the standard way to...
I guess it's highly dependent on individual psychology, but I can say from experience that having my wife's LR Model 3 parked next to my S85D,...
I'm genuinely curious where they're making these claims? I'm familiar with the "price is the price, there is no haggling" pitch. But prior to...
Sadly, experienced Elon-watchers have figured out that Elon's comments are not something you can take to the bank, and apply a hefty discount....
You're making a false dichotomy. My point is that you're proposing irrelevant metrics for tracking your financial health. Depreciation is only...
Which may be relevant to company accounting practices but I fail to see how it relates much to personal finance or more to the point, personal car...

The "appreciating asset" thing is, of course, total BS and Musk should hang his head in shame for ever having said it, except in his case just add...
If you turn on the energy graph, the running average it provides probably qualifies as a GOM, the difference being that it's provided in a context...
