    Tesla Model Y, Tesla Transit, & Tesla Gigafactories -- More Info

    Fun news, and in the broader context of previous statements and speculation: Tesla Model Y, Tesla Transit, & Tesla Gigafactories — More Info It's hard to imagine being more excited about a car than many of us are about the Tesla Model 3, but I think the Tesla Model Y will be an even bigger...

    Tesla, IBM, Stanford, & PNNL Lead Obama’s Battery500 EV Battery Initiative

    Tesla, IBM, Stanford, & PNNL Lead Obama’s Battery500 EV Battery Initiative As I’ve written many times, I think the #1 barrier to quicker electric car (and electric bus) adoption is simply lack of awareness / lack of experience. That said, despite the many technological, societal, and consumer...

    Tesla's Domination...

    Hey, Folks. For those of you who haven't already seen this, thought I'd pass along my presentation from the EV Transportation & Technology Summit, which demonstrates pretty thoroughly why Tesla is the Usain Bolt of the EV space (well, even more than that, but not thinking of a better comparison...

    Get ready for a *lot* of crap on Forbes

    Bertel Schmitt is now writing on Forbes. He has a long history of Tesla bashing that often comes across (on the surface) as worth considering. People who know Tesla well can see through it, but for those who don't... Housekeeping: Minor changes at the Dailykanban - DailyKanban​

    Leak: “every other car off the line is the X”

    Hey, People We got a pretty huge leak today, imho. The quote is right there in the title. I'm obviously not going to say who the source is, but I think it's solid. Matches well with other leaks/rumors from the past week or two, but a relief to me to see such a strong statement. :D (Nearly)...

    Someone is connecting dots very... liberally

    Teslas on ebay

    I don't think I've ever bought anything on ebay, but I recently discovered what seem to be some good deals on used Teslas there. Aside from not being certified by Tesla (and there possibly being an unspecified problem with the car), are there any particular issues to watch out for there? For...

    Time to Start a Tesla Model Y Section?

    It's hard to decipher some of the info we have so far, but we know that Tesla trademarked Tesla Model Y to complete the model lineup as S-E-X-Y (now S-3-X-Y). Elon has tweeted the Model 3 or the Model Y will have falcon-wing doors (and subsequently deleted that tweet). And we know there's...

    Just sayin'

    Every time I look at a nosecone/grill now, it is irritating and looks out of place. Model S, Porsche Cayenne, BMW i3, Volvo XC90 T8, Ford Fusion Energi, and so many others... Oy, Tesla, you've ruined me to something else now. :P

    Electric Vehicle Summit In 1 Month

    Hey, People. If you haven't seen this already, just wanted to let you know about what I think will be an awesome EV event in Florida in about a month. Admittedly, I'm biased, since I'll be presenting there (and coming over from Poland to do so), but I do think the event looks great. It's this...

    FYI, I'm going to be presenting at the EV Transportation & Technology Summit in Cocoa, FL, Oct 20-22. I'll be driving over from Sarasota, FL. If anyone on the Gulf Coast wanted to go to the summit (quite a low price) and create a sort of caravan of EVs, I'd love it. :D Here's more info...

    Bonnie's Xcellent Adventure w/X Sig 2 - Config, Delivery, Roadtrip

    I keep checking it, and am confused and disappointed (while also relieved) by the lack of activity. :wink: "Bonnie driving White X sightings" sounds like a good thread to me. I think Bonnie's guessing October for delivery. My WAG is Oct 14. Let the betting begin. :D

    Model X delivery time for new reservations?

    Perhaps this is being discussed elsewhere, but I couldn't find such a thread, so... The Model X reservation page says "The delivery estimate for new reservations is early 2016. " My understanding is that there's well over 20,000 reservations at the moment. With maybe a couple thousand produced...

    Taking a P85D for a spin with a few friends after years of covering Tesla

    A couple of years after landing on a top 20 list with Elon, Obama, several car company execs, etc (#20, woohoo!), I finally got behind the wheel of a Tesla (I've been living in Poland and was patiently waiting for a good opportunity). Luckily, they gave me (and a few friends who had never been...
