    Elon Musk

    Maybe we can have been right both times. I don't know either Martin or Elon well. I have met with Martin a few times outside of Tesla, which I have never done so with Elon. On the other hand I've talked to a number of people who have worked for Elon and I have listened to him and watched...

    A Tesla Car: a "truffula tree" or a "thneed"?!

    I'm the mirror-image of Bonnie. I bought my Roadster because I've believed for decades that electric cars were the right thing for the environment... and the Roadster was the first EV I found that was worth buying that wasn't too complicated to buy (I never found my way through the process in...

    More anti-ev gibberish

    What you say makes sense (about the percentage of generation from coal increasing at night). One of the reasons it makes sense to me is it takes a long time to heat up a coal plant.

    Advice for potential Roadster owner

    Yes, and take it a step farther. If you have more than one car and a limited supply of electricity, allow the drivers to explain what they want for the two cars (perhaps one really needs to be fully charged and the other doesn't, and one needs to be ready earlier than the other) and let the...

    Ideal range gradually dropping off

    My almost-three-year-old Roadster (#109) with about 20,000 miles on it (it is my every day car--that's all I drive) has had the ideal range in standard mode drop from 192 miles to 187 miles (not counting the drop with the firmware change). I have definitely noted a correlation between distance...
