Maybe this is the right area to park my thoughts and encourage others to post theirs... I appreciate the people that come up to me and want to convince me that driving my Tesla Model S 85 is a bad idea. Buying a car can be an emotional experience, but for those looking to do a little more fact...

You know I really like and care about Tesla and will always own one. But I have always been disappointed in their execution of their interiors. For example, I think the direct competition to the Model S is the Porsche Panamera. That car has a "first-class" interior and costs about the same...

BMW has apparently tweaked the i3 into an i3 Sport. It receives a mild HP bump, more range, grippery wider tires, tighter suspension, and 1/2" lower. It now has an EPA of 114 mi AER, and a BMW rated 6.8s 0-60 mph. OK, so what? Base trim, plus a $550 red paint job, then $2500 for ACC and NAV...

It's a few weeks ago now (before I got the M3 invite) that I went to the Chevy dealer to drive a Bolt to see if we maybe get it as a temporary solution. I will not comment on the driving experience (other than I absolutely do not understand Wozniak), just look at the crazy numbers when I asked...

Another Tesla killer, this time targeting the new 2020 Roadster. (BTW, we probably will have to stop calling it that in about 3 years. :-) ) Summary: prototype does 0-60 in 1.9xx seconds. But it has only a supercapacitor, no batteries (hence reduced range and weight). They will produce 50 in...

Instead of more centralised batteries like the one at Hornibrook SA (!00Mwhrs) why cant we use our own parked cars? You would need three phase power, cooperation from Tesla & compensation from power companies. However you would also be able to charge at Chardemo levels 50kWs. Ill assume that...
