    Tesla-recommended repair shop increased parts price 20% after estimate, same parts, 80% more total cost

    Just my two cents here. As a logistics professional, I know that freight costs have gone up exponentially from pre-pandemic times. As an example, a 20 ft. shipping container to Europe, pre-pandemic, was $2500.00 for the container use and the ocean shipping. That same container now costs $6500.00...

    CR Engineers Show a Tesla Will Drive With No One in the Driver's Seat

    So the manufacturer of the car involved in the Utah "Bird Box Challenge" needs to do better? The manufacturer should install cameras to make sure the vehicle operators aren't wearing blindfolds? And because the manufacturer didn't, the manufacturer bears some liability for the accident? Any sane...

    CR Engineers Show a Tesla Will Drive With No One in the Driver's Seat

    Adding my two cents here. The day of the accident, I read a local newspaper report (local to where the accident occurred) that reported 3 occupants in the car. Whose to say that there wasn't a driver in the driving seat who escaped from the crash before anyone arrived at the scene. The reason...

    Why do ICE cars always want to cut off Teslas?

    I've had that happen in my ICE car. You're catching up to a car that has been maintaining a constant speed on the highway, you go to pass it and suddenly they start to speed up and match your speed. If the driver is a man, it's an alpha male thing that they may not even recognize that they're...

    TPMS Warning doesn't disappear after adjusting it

    All the previous fixes may work, but sometimes the problem is as simple as the sensor is bad, or the sensor needs a new battery. The sensor also may have lost connection with the TPMS.

    Would you file a claim for damage this light? (Tesla Cam Footage)

    My daughter in NJ was in an accident, not her fault, and told her insurance company she wanted the other driver's insurance to pay. They gave her pretty much the same response, something like, "we'll try, but what do you want to do if we don't get anywhere with the other driver's insurance...

    Would you file a claim for damage this light? (Tesla Cam Footage)

    If you want to teach this guy a lesson, here's what you could do. You could have the police issue him a ticket for hit and run based on a citizen's complaint. It's the same as making a citizen's arrest. He would be required to appear in court to defend against the ticket, you would have to...

    Blog Tesla Considering Cybertruck Factory in Central U.S.

    What you say about 2021 is true IF you stretch the schedule to the very last day of 2021. But Elon said that deliveries would START in late 2021, not the manufacturing. To meet that timeline, manufacturing would have to begin well before the last day of the year 2021. In my estimation the latest...

    Blog Tesla Considering Cybertruck Factory in Central U.S.

    Considering that 2021 is less than 9 months away and that is when production is to begin, that pretty much eliminates building a factory from the ground up. Best option then would be to do like they did with the Fremont factory; namely, buy one of the other auto manufacturer's closed plants. If...

    Shopping cart hit and walk-caught on Sentry cam

    The question in my mind is, why the employee didn't just take the cart and put it with those he was pushing? I've had plenty of cart retrieving employees that were passing me with a bunch of carts just grab mine as they past, once I had emptied it.

    Wall Connector getting service main HOT

    Apparently you missed the part where Nomar 116 said, and I quote, " I called Hawaiian Electric and they said I was safe to upgrade to a 125A main breaker but that a new line would be required to upgrade the panel to 200A." And it seems that based on that quote, Hawaiian Electric considered the...

    Wall Connector getting service main HOT

    I am NOT an electrical engineer or licensed electrician. The following information is based on my personal experience with upgrading my service on a house from 60 Amp Fuse Box service to a 200 Amp Breaker Box service and a service installation on a new house I was building. Upgrading your...
