I've been driving around in my new Model X for 2-3 days now (built at the end of April), and I was surprised by the amount of ghosting. As long as it isn't raining, the ghosting is quite noticeable. (I guess the rain reduces visibility sufficiently that the ghosting isn't noticeable.) It doesn't...

I found these news interesting. Yara International and Kongsberg Gruppen are cooperating on the first autonomous electric container ship. It will be able to carry 100-150 TEU, and be powered by a 3.5-4 MWh battery pack. It will be covering about 30 miles per day. The plan is the following...

Absolutely disagree. Electric drive is vastly superior when it comes to responsiveness, seamlessness, noise levels, etc. You also have regen which enables one pedal driving. The ICE is utterly obsolete, it just takes some time for it to sink in.

I've been playing around with a spreadsheet with the range for the Model 3. Particularly I was interested in how the range would be at higher speeds, due to the low aerodynamic drag, and I thought you guys would be interested in it as well. First constant speed cruising in 20C (68F), with no...

I think we have a very exciting year ahead of us, due to many reasons: - Model X ramp-up - Tesla becomes cash flow positive - Model 3 reveal - Tesla Energy ramp-up - Gigafactory cell production - Oil price recovery? And I think TSLA will do very well this year as a result. I would be...

Thought I'd link this here: https://www.change.org/p/elon-musk-towing-hitch-for-tesla-model-s Personally, I'm definitely for a Model S with tow hitch. Especially if it could be offered as a retrofit - that might lead me to buy a used 70D almost immediately. (The only challenge would be my...

I was thinking we should have a poll for this - what do you think Tesla will offer in terms of battery sizes? Personally, I think Tesla will offer two battery sizes, around 60 kWh and 80 kWh, for something like 220 EPA miles and 290 EPA miles.

For at least myself and one other reservation holder in Norway, the reservation numbers are gone from My Tesla. Maybe we'll see the design studio become available for everyone after the launch tonight, and then Tesla will allow people to confirm according to some hidden list they have?

A poll to determine the importance of folding/stowable 2nd row seats seems appropriate.

The detailed statistics aren't out yet her in Norway, but there were some interesting tidbits to glean from the simplified statistics released today. This month Tesla sold 185 Model S here, or 1.6% of all cars sold. That makes Tesla the 17th biggest car brand here, ahead of Honda, Citroen...

Does anyone know what criteria Tesla uses to judge if there is a fault in the battery of the Roadster, and replace it under warranty? I'm sure most of you guys know that there have been some fairly hefty discussions concerning remaining range after X years, and a part of this discussion is...

Can anyone explain how the EPA testing is done, and what the probable outcome of the EPA testing will be? I keep hearing about how the EPA has toughened up it's testing, and there's something about multiplying with 0.7. Have the Nissan Leaf, Mitsubishi iMiev been tested using the new test...

Anyone know if the GPS will have more intelligent features for planning longer trips? For instance, if you pick a location 310 miles away and plot it into your GPS, would the GPS be able to suggest routes that would keep speeds to 40 mph so that you would reach your destination, or warn you...

I think Tesla Motors has a brilliant future, but when I look at the company, the Model X/S and beyond, the one thing that worries me is all the extras that people expect to have in a $100k+ car. The Roadster doesn't have to have too many extras, it just has to be electric and a good car to...
