I was trying to make a COMPLETE list of vehicle types according their power source. First I had to skip the idea that I will make a list of car drivetrain types. As there are.. 3 wheeled "cars" and same looking mopeds. Then it went to e-scooters and bicycles. Then I concluded that complete...

I've been dealing with confusion of different types of "electrified" vehicles for years now. Some "clever" manufacturers have even used misleading terms to sell their fossil fuel powered vehicles as electric ones. I did my best to make one comprehensive list (though I had to remove some...

Russian dude Arthur Tussik from Lithuania (Baltics, Eastern Europe), who is famous for his excellence in vehicle frame repairs patches up minor Tesla Model S damage. I'm actually sad that damage was minor - Master can fix a car that looks absolutely destroyed with axles all messed up or frame...

So I would like to explain everything I understand about Model S (very likely Model X is similar) thermal management system. Number in yellow is slightly to the left of the object it refers to. It's easier to open the picture in different window, drag it to the left screen portion while keeping...

So Elon mentioned, that Model 3 will have 1,5km of wires running all around. Model S has 3km. Shall we discuss that? If this video really has the full main harness, then this is extremely good result already (compared to BMW-s). Most popular way to reduce harness length is to use modules...
