Hi all, Just saw this article from a Porsche Exec (link below) saying Tesla's Ludicrous Mode is a farce because you can only use it with a 95% or above SOC?? So essentially you can only do two or three 0-60 mph runs in ludicrous mode after a full charge and then it is disabled! First I have...

Hey guys, Just wondering if Tesla builds its own capacitors in house for the Model S or does it buy them in? I assume some capacitors must be used in such a large electronic device? Maxwell is based in California and seems to be a leader in capacitor technology. Also named after a brilliant...

Just throwing an idea out there. The problem as I see it right now is this: Tesla needs "giga" battery factories to make Gen III possible. However Tesla doesn't want to commit to any one battery producer so that they can always pick and choose the best battery technology for the best price as...

Hi guys, Apologies if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if someone a little more financially savvy could put together what the supercharging network could be worth to Tesla in the future. What I mean by this is as follows: If big auto does not start building out its own...

Hi guys, Just watching another lame episode of TopGear...the show is so stupid now.. I don't think they even review cars anymore, they just perform rediculous stunts to keep the braindead public's attention span for more than 5 minutes. Clarkson is a total sellout and is smart enough to know...

Hi guys, I was hoping the Model S was going to be on the front of a lot of magazine covers after it won the Motor Trend 2013 car of the year award...haven't seen it even mentioned in any of the car mags down here in New Zealand, let alone on the cover...wondering if it was any different in the...
