Elon Musk just sent out a shot on Instagram of a pair of Tesla Semis ready to hit the road, from the Gigafactory to the Fremont factory. It's happening! Tesla Semi by domenick posted Mar 7, 2018 at 3:26 PM

It looks like Tesla drivers will be sharing the Supercharger network with cars from a different company. Elon made the comments about it on at least two different occasions in Berlin. I've written a post about it for AutoblogGreen, speculating that the unnamed OEM is Aston Martin. While...

The first battery-powered Factory Five 818 is now driving under it's own power and is definitely worth a look, and maybe even consideration as a possible buy/build. Even lacking body panels, it won the Best innovation Design award at the Factory Five Cruise-In last weekend. EV West took it to...

I just had an opinion piece published on AutoblogGreen – Why dealerships should embrace Tesla's direct sales competition – that looks at the situation a bit differently than other articles I've seen. Basically I'm saying, the dealership associations have already lost this war, so they might...

Tesla is to have a big Gigafactory announcement sometime this week. I put all I could find about it, plus some location rumors (Nevada!) in a post on AutoblogGreen. So far, the only thread for the Gigafactory is one in Investor Discussions related, of course, to the investment opportunities...

The annual Springtime Tallahassee parade is coming up and Rethink Energy would be to have some electric vehicles as part of its contingent. This is a big event (as Tallahassee dwellers know) and an opportunity to show off your ride to a huge amount of people, as well as network with with some...

EVDrive built this crazy AWD UTV for an OEM which then dropped out of the program. 160 horsepower equivalent, with software that allows wheels to turn independently in any direction. It's truly awesome. Now shopping for a new client, they've released video of this thing in action. Must see EV TV.

I think this is my favorite Model S customization yet.

Tesla has lost a lawsuit filed by former Director of Communications David Vespremi. While the courts only awarded $207,000, the case could set a precedent for a class action lawsuit involving 99 other former employees.

I was contacted by someone from Rethink Energy Florida who is trying to put together a contingent of electric vehicles to take part in the Springtime Tallahassee Parade. I know there's a Roadster or two in my area and I wouldn't be shocked (much) to learn there's a Model S in town. If you're...

Elon's interview with AutoblogGreen In deep with Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Financials, Falcon doors and finding faults in the Model S There's a lot of information here the Tesla faithful may already be familiar with, but there are a few nuggets as well.

Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima has revealed his electric racer he will run at Pikes Peak this year. No specs yet, unfortunately. Incidentally, his company Tajima-Motors makes the less exciting EV Mini Sport.

The Lit Motors C-1 is an enclosed motorcycle that uses flywheels to stay upright. Electric, two-wheel drive. This has all the ingredients necessary for a paradigm shift. Ok, perhaps that's a little strong, but I find the concept very exciting. Here's the post on AutoblogGreen. It's efficient...

Jack Rickard and Brian Noto of EVTV, the weekly internet show on electric cars with a heavy emphasis on conversions, are hosting a electric vehicle conversion conference this September. Highlights include a keynote address by Chris Paine along with a screening of "Revenge of the Electric Car"...

Mate Rimac, the guy behind what might be the best electric conversion ever, has announced his new company will be revealing a new electric supercar at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. There have been a few assorted posts scattered about TMC but because this will be a new company with a new...

Refuel 2011 date has been announced. June 26th!

The QBEAK from ECOmove was first revealed last Fall. There's now video of it in action as well as a render of how a roofed version might look. It uses wheel motors and something of a "skateboard" design.

Penn Electric Racing is a student group who took their somewhat typical solar car program and went a little wild. The first product is the Renegade. Meant for the drag strip, this unlikely looking beast currently uses lead acid batteries but Tesla Motors is giving them lithium cells to help them...

Nissan will unveil an electric sports car concept at the Geneva Motor show in March. Looks pretty nice but it lacks Tesla Roadster performance. Also, reading the press release, Nissan seems unaware that an electric sports car already exists on the market.

TGMY has converted a Mitsuoka Himiko with an Azure Dynamics motor and controller and a two-speed gearbox. Range is said to be 550 km (341.8 miles). They start taking orders this fall. I love the way this car looks and wish it had the UQM 200 kW instead (or any other 200 kW liquid-cooled...

Tesla has given Akio Toyoda his very own Tesla Roadster on the eve of the Tokyo store opening. I thought this was great. I hope he finds the time to actually drive it.

Tired of electric vehicle designs that don't quite flip your buttons? How about you develop your own starting with a lithium-powered all-wheel-drive platform from Trexa. I've got a little more technical info than what's in the post. Let me know if you want more specs.

I just realized there wasn't yet a thread for this car. Yet, it could arguably be one of the most promising vehicles out there in terms of cost and performance. The electric drivetrain from TM4 is also interesting and worth a look.

Whoa! Chrysler's pulled a nice lookin' 40 mile PHEV out it's um, hat. Yeah, hat. Detroit 2009: Chrysler pulls a 200C EV surprise; new PHEV concept has 40-mile range - AutoblogGreen

The Triac looks like it may be coming soon for those who want an all-electric highway speed three wheeler. Seats two tandem styley. Lithium ion gives 120 mile range. This would be great for most of my driving. I think I could even make to the beach though I might have to leave the kayak at...
