    Here's the link to Totem Power: Home I just read three articles about this company (all posted on their press links), from TreeHugger, Greentech Media and Cleantechnica (three sources I read periodically), but none of these articles do anything more than quote what is basically on the...

    Confessions of a Speed Addict

    OK, so a few years back, when I was still driving I was the person that many of you hate. I drove a hybrid car in the right hand lane with cruise control set at 55 because "air turbulence is non-linear above 60MPH, and I was trying to burn the least fossil fuel and 'limit' my carbon footprint"...

    Just wanted to warn those traveling, that the weather in Monterey is not what one from out of town might expect. Growing up in the East Coast I thought it was always hot and Sunny in CA. Weather this week in Monterey is predicted to be in the 50's to 70's deg F (14-22C). With the coastal fog...

    Are you with Musk or Hawking on AI

    I read a bit ago about Elon Musk and some other Silicon Valley people are investing in AI. I'm sure making computers more intelligent will allow development of self-driving cars (there is even a thread on this forum about AI in cars), but what I'd like to know is how people feel about AI in...

    US road conditions vs EU

    I wanted to hear what others have to say about Elon's decision to change air suspension defaults, so that it doesn't decrease until much higher speeds (I think he said 97 MPH). His reasoning was that US had more road debris and he believed the higher suspension would reduce collision of impact...

    1) Can't show newest thread first 2) For the SV group updates don't show in the the links on What's New or Latest posts. In order to find out anything new someone has to specifically go to group section, click thread, then page through to new stuff, which is not great for communication

    Giving feedback to Tesla?

    Note to Moderators: Please move if there is already a similar thread, didn't see one at first glance. I was thinking the other day, that one of the challenges for Tesla motors to successful Gen III is actually trying to 'dumb it down' and 'fix the bugs'. I think everyone here agrees that Tesla...
