This mindset in Car & Driver and other auto publications that you assess the worth of a car by the 0-60 time is juvenile and the stuff of teenagers' wet dreams. Yet, many of these editors and writers are grown men and should know better.

VW is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, automaker in the world, but unfortunately, it has earned a reputation for dishonesty -- the so-called clean diesel scandal and the billions of dollars of fines. On top of that, it is a German company burdened with the legacy of Hitler and World War...

Trump sounds like such an idiot, so even his so-called praise for Elon Musk is questionable. And the president has taken so many anti-climate actions, you have to wonder what the hell he is talking about. In a year, when a new president is inaugurated, he or she will have to start repairing all...

This happened with my 2015 Model S 60, but I sold that Tesla to Carvana, and bought a 2016 Model S 75D from Tesla.com. I have had that car since Nov. 14, 2019, and haven't seen the door handles retract without warning. In the case of the 2015, I had close calls, but my fingers were never...

I guess that's a good thing, but owners are more concerned with the rapid depreciation of their Teslas. I bought my first Model S new in 2015, but replaced that with a used 2016 Model S 75D for half the price of a new Model S. My 2016 had fewer than 8,000 miles on the odometer and hadn't been in...

Prototype, shmototype. The bottom line is Sony won't produce an electric car. That's too bad.

An "EV heavyweight battle" is what you're calling it? What, are you a16? Does any owner of a Tesla Model S really care whether they can beat an overpriced Taycan (or Shitcan) in a drag race? Give me a break. What you should be reporting is that Porsche is 8 years late to the EV evolution...

So, there is no start-of-production date yet?

That's great, but what about depreciation of Tesla's own Model S? My 2015 Model S 60 cost $81,000, but when I asked for a trade-in value at Tesla (less than 25,000 miles) I was told my car is worth about $34,000. I am planning to buy a reconditioned Model S from Tesla. I guess saving the sales...

I had Powerwalls installed at my New Jersey home, but it's not clear why your installation involved the heat pump. It was a pre-existing installation (heat pump and compressor)? I also have both, but they weren't touched, unless you're referring to rewiring of your electrical panel.

You can't compare the Leaf to a Tesla, any Tesla, and I am sure most of those 400,000 sales were in other countries, not the U.S. I saw more Leafs on a trip to Iceland in 2017 (when gas was $7 a gallon) than I had ever seen in the New York-New Jersey area. And that's easy to explain. Until this...

No. No. No. Buyers of the EVs and other electrified cars listed at the end WILL NOT see an immediate reduction in the MSRP of the vehicle they buy. The credit doesn't kick in until the following tax year, and you won't earn the full $7,500 credit unless you owe $7.500 in taxes to the federal...

The devaluation doesn't make your Tesla "the worst" car you've ever owned. Wrong word. It's probably the best car you've ever owned. When I briefly considered trading in my 2015 Tesla Model S 60, the Tesla rep explained $6,000 is deducted to recondition any Tesa that is traded in. I decided to...

Can you imagine how few car owners can name the chairman or CEO of the company that made their car. This is just an excuse to postpone a longer range, faster Nissan Leaf. More than a year ago, Nissan in the U.S. shifted more production to pickups and SUVs to take advantage of low gas prices...

This question has to do with an unexpected loss of range after my Model S 60 sat unused for a day and a half. When I tried to warm up interior this morning, Tesla app informed me I didn't have enough charge -- only 41 miles, compared to 140 or so when I put the car in the garage on Friday night...

Consumer Reports says the most satisfied owners of any car own a Tesla. So, could your experience be isolated? I have owed a Model S since April 2015, and have had absolutely no problem with Tesla service. As for my car, it's the most reliable I've ever owned, including the four Toyota Prius...

Is there an adjustment on the steering? I have Standard and Sport in my Model S. Did you try the standard?

Yes. Very same. But I haven't tried to back into or dive into a parking space like the one shown.

Well, it also has one-pedal operation that brings the car to a stop without using the brake pedal, similar to what is available in the BMW i3. The strong regenerative braking likely will extend the range a bit. For the vast majority who charge their cars at home like their phones, the new Leaf...

I drove the Chevy Bolt in January, and it will never challenge the Model 3: lThe Sasson Report: Chevrolet Bolt EV costs half the price of a Tesla, but isn't close to being half the car

Who cares? Only Tesla has its own network of fast chargers and free juice for, what, 1,000 miles.

Me, too. Since then, I was sent a survey, which I answered, but nothing after that.
