    The Apple Autonomous Vehicle has been put on indefinite hold as Apple engineers have been unable to install windows. (Happy April 1st) I'm going to credit my friend, JJ Lanza, for this.

    New Modular Construction for Superchargers

    These pictures from the recently opened Ohio Turnpike Plaza (Genoa, OH N/S) show a modular design for installation of the pedestal base. Typically had formed and poured on site in the pass. At least Tesla is learning shortcuts to speed construction. I am sure there are probably lots of...

    On a lighter note: Ever have this happen to you?

    Our daughter sent a text and screenshot of her Tesla app today saying that her car was having an identity crisis . I read the text and looked at the screen shot and wondered what she was talking about. All seemed normal to me as I am accustomed to looking at a black car on my app. The light...

    Airship Transportation vs Ships for Starship

    I would like to think some one in Hawthorne has thought about a fleet of airships to transport the next generation of rockets. With an airship everything is point to point. Falcon 9 appears to be the last of the over-the-road transportable vehicles.

    Merritt Island (FL) Service Center

    Just picked up my car from an extended stay at Orlando Service Center. They said as a result of lots of negative feed back that there will be a Merritt Island Service Center. No details other than "close to SpaceX". Keep your eyes peeled Titusville Tesla Drivers

    Astronauts and Teslas

    Couldn't help but wonder, after the scrub of Crew Demo 2, whether the astronauts might be pestering the ground crew to allow them to drive the Model Xs back to the ready room. Anyone know if Tesla has given them Teslas to drive as GM once did with Corvettes for a different generation?

    KM/MI conversion

    Anybody notice when we lost this feature? Living near Canadian border I may have used it more than some. Still thought it was a nice feature to slide that tab to conver to metric. Plus, thought if I owned my car long enough the US might convert to metric.:p

    New Race Rules (Humor?)

    Almost daily I find people who want to see what their vehicle can do against my MS(I only have a 90D). Many just want to "blow smoke" (the Coal Rollers); young kids with not-as-quick-as-they-think conversions with over active exhaust systems; and, maybe, some wish-I-had-yours-but-I-don't types...
