Just wanted to share this. We have a 2002 Toyota Corolla Fielder. It has a key with a button to remotely lock and unlock the car. More than a year ago the remote access stopped working. We thought, Okay probably needs a new battery. Leonie went to Manawatu Toyota where we get our car...

I have a question about first stage reusability. How many missions would SpaceX expect from a reusable first stage rocket? Are we talking the same sort of reusability as a commercial jet? What are the limiting factors?

Panasonic, Tesla agree to partnership for US car battery plant- Nikkei Asian Review Panasonic likely will invest 20 billion to 30 billion yen ($194-291 million) initially, taking responsibility for equipping the factory with the machinery to make the battery cells. An official announcement on...

It is probably a bit late to ask this, but is Telsa doing anything to promote itself around the America's Cup? I would have thought it might have been a good idea to have some presence there. I know the Tesla does not need to promote themselves to generate demand at this moment in time; I...

Will Tesla look at going further towards vertical integration? What could they do? I know a while a go Elon was complaining about the cost of aluminium. What about batteries? Could they build their own factory and manufacture them? Should they?

With the announcement of European pricing came the news that deliveries of right-hand drive vehicles for the UK market (and presumably Hong Kong and Aussie/NZ) would begin Late 2013. This would mean that virtually anyone currently(as of 01-01-13)that has a reservation for a left-hand drive...

I have been thinking about how fast the Model S seems, and the drag race against the M5. I believe that the 0-60 times are misleading. A 0-60 time is a measure of how long it takes for a vehicle to reach 60mph. It is not a measure of distance. The Model S may be quicker off the line than...

I was wondering how quiet the Model S is compared to other high end cars. It is the quietest car I have ever driven though I do not have much to compare it with. Are there other cars out there as quiet in the cabin? I would think that the Model S might win out when accelerating. Comments please.

http://www.nzpost.co.nz/about-us/media-centre/media-release/new-zealands-first-electric-courier-vehicle I know someone who knows the driver. Sounds like he is happy with the car, and the nearly NZ$500/month saving in fuel. I will see if I can get more info.

I was walking my dogs and met a man with (probably) his grand daughter on her bike. He was quiet but the girl said hello and asked me if I was having a nice day. She was about 7 years old, very well spoken, articulate, and friendly. After our brief conversation I started to wonder: What does...
