    FSD Beta Experience - Be Careful What You Wish For

    So it sounds like you’re into the kinky stuff (aka masochism)

    Image if CT actually launches at advertised prices: What will other EV trucks do?!

    The one thing that MAYBE gets you a $40k CT is a subscription model. Like Apple sells you a phone with 64 GB and then says, hey if you want to actually store anything, we'll charge you $10 a month .... so in theory maybe they play the Apple game where you're either generating recurring...

    Image if CT actually launches at advertised prices: What will other EV trucks do?!

    I forgot to mention Tesla's other strategy of reducing features on lower priced versions to the point that they are undesirable, see Model S 60, etc. So yeah, maybe they make a $40k CT with realistically 150 miles of range and 80% of people opt to spend $20k to upgrade the battery ... and then...

    Image if CT actually launches at advertised prices: What will other EV trucks do?!

    This is a great post to breakdown very clearly Tesla's basic business model when it comes to pricing and how basic economic expectations make it highly unlikely that we see a $40k CT (at least made in the US). 1) Sell your most expensive products first to maximize your margins (Roadster -->...

    I test drove Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD (short review)

    EA is a mixed bag because it's a work in progress. They've been upgrading their network across the board which means a lot of stations are being worked on/built simultaneously. It used to be mostly 50 kw chargers that were being ICED 100% of the time by Wal-Mart employees but they've gone in and...

    Model S Plaid MSM Journal

    See, the irony here is that so many Model S Plaid owners talk about "getting used to" all of the idiosyncratic elements like yoke, lack of stalk, etc. while some Tesla drivers then turn around and critique various things that are seemingly trivial by comparison such as having two screens. If...

    Full matrix headlight functionality just approved by NHTSA!

    So they rejected all of the other matrix LED lights but accepted Tesla? Hard to parse what's going on here in a 327 page document... That document mentions Audi having glare that exceeded certain limits so did they approve any manufacturer or simply set out the regulatory framework for approval?

    Full matrix headlight functionality just approved by NHTSA!

    I have had three non-Tesla vehicles with auto high beams and they work perfectly. This isn't advanced technology. It's just a light sensor that controls a switch. See light, switch to low. No light, switch to high. It seems about as simple as it gets relative to matrix lights which require a bit...

    Model S Plaid MSM Journal

    I'm assuming you didn't bother to test drive a Taycan 4S before you bought this. It actually comes with a steering wheel! The Plaid S is stupid fast but dangerously so with inadequate braking and universally derided ergonomics. The Germans can't keep up on the software but then again, we're...

    Since we are posting crash stories…Plaid S Idiot

    This hardly seems like an accident. The driver had 9 previous traffic violations and Meisner previously lost his license for going 70 mph in a 30 zone with a 0.2 BAC. Nobody will be sympathetic to morons like that. Who gets killed in their own car the day they bought it?
