Hello, So you may remember Tesla's ill-fated Aerowheels, as seen below, which added an additional 10 miles of aerodynamic range. (becoming increasingly beneficial the faster you go) I personally believe the biggest hindrance to aero wheel design is that it looks inherently fake. Its a...

One Danish and one Norwegian technical publication are describing a new variant of the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) called the U-core SRM, developed and patented by the Technical University of Aalborg, Denmark. The U-core refers to the (for example 3 pairs of) U-shaped stators, which hold...

Just a thought: Concerning the article below, it seems likely that a drive unit assembly lines will be at the gigafactory. So since the battery packs and drive unit will be made at the gigafactory and the fact the Elon said that it would make sense to have future gigafactory making the Tesla car...

Please help our team in imaging the use of self driving cars! Takes 5 min. https://goo.gl/forms/FjClVjyZ1k1dG8qI3

Hey guys, I just started a new youtube channel on which I focus on different tech product and especially our new Model X. However, I am just a student and I would love to get your input on new videos that I can create. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Paran Sonthalia Thank You

Dash cameras are a very popular product among many Tesla owners. They can help to protect your investment. Considering the new AutoPilot self driving features. It could be the only witness in the case of an accident (your car's fault or otherwise). I have installed a single dash cam in my Model...

Since tesla announced that they were indeed going to be building a pickup it got me thinking. What specs and capacities would it need to really be competitive? We should use the best selling truck (which also happens to be the best selling vehicle period in the US) the f150. I think tesla should...

Haven't seen this one before, best render I've seen yet of what the truck could be: 5 new Tesla vehicles coming by the end of the decade

I'm more than willing to accept that AP2 can self-drive when other cars and the environment are acting predictably, but I am highly skeptical of an AP car acting smartly when the world is crazy. E.g, This morning I took my usual drive home on a rural highway that has one lane in each direction...

Here's a fun idea to throw around... For cars that will become fully self-driving, why not replace the windshield with a curved, high resolution television? Windshields already cost several hundreds of dollars and this will allow maximum user-engagement with any media you have. Imagine watching...

i owned Toyota Previa vans for years...need EV van just a little bigger to carry 4x 8' sheets of plywood and long surfboards. an interior surfboard rack would allow board storage... AFFORDABLE price point is essential. i would buy one TODAY ! number of Teslas in Hawaii is increasing but mine...

What does everyone think the product announcement will be for Tesla? Elon Musk states they will not need to seek financials in Q4. I feel this has to be a big announcement to creat the funds they will need

...comes from the Netherlands: Google Übersetzer

Do you think speeding will be possible in the future? When all cars are part of a network, all data from the cars shared and cars are primarily self driving, will society accept the possibility of speeding? As a freedom lover I am not particularly thrilled about the idea of never being able to...

Elon just tweeted this: @danielringdahl @P100D Glad you like it! I think we will probably stop at 100 kWh on battery size. Really? On the one hand I see the logic: if the goal is to bring down price, you want to use better chemistry to make the pack smaller and lighter and cheaper while...

2016 Tesla Model X 75D First Test Review - Motor Trend

would it be feasable to have a feature that senses when a gunshot is placed from inside the car that it alerts the authorities? imagime when autonomous level4 comes in and a car of thugs or gangsters take a car and do drive by or if someone gets wounded. At first i thought that it should disable...

So...BYD has the E6 in the USA NOW for fleets, and built itself on fleet/bus instead of luxury like Tesla. (and their bus can go 750 miles...) And it's battery matches specs in 2016 of pano/Tesla. And prices/range about to collide in 2017. And Warren Buffet...Buffet is their recent big investor...

Hi, I've read the following Elon's tweet, regarding van-type vehicle. Elon Musk on Twitter "probably makes sense to build off the pickup truck chassis" So apparently I'm not a native English speaker and I don't clealy understand what "build off" means - does that mean Tesla may consider...

Hi Guys, So I guess I should come clean. I'm actually a staff editor on Truck Trend magazine. I've been on the TMC forums for more than a year, and am a big Tesla fan. I pitched the idea of doing a story on a Tesla pickup concept to my boss, and he was receptive. What you see is the result of...

I'm using a couple hints that Elon dropped on the project to come up with what I think will be the interior layout of the Spacebus: - It will use the same chassis as Model X - It will be able to carry people on wheelchairs - It will do away with the center aisle regularly present in buses I...

Top Gear is lobbying for Tesla to build a quite sexy (imo) hypercar based on a study by Carwow. Yeah, this isn't a real Tesla hypercar. But it needs to be What do you think?

With the Master Plan 2.0 Elon has stated that there will not be cheaper models after the Model III. This means there is not going to be a Corolla competitor (Model II) or a Yaris competitor (Model I). While i think the Uber style for the Model III is genius. The car can generate income for you...

"Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments" '2 wheels' itself has a bunch of major segments. We can hope.

Have you had any crazy ideas you would like to see on future electric Vehicle? Well I asked myself this question and lately I've been driven mad by this idea, concept...I know it's a stupid idea, it's not suppose to be possible...or if it was that easy for sure someone would have done it and...

About to start watching the 2016 Le Mans race and was wondering something. What if Tesla was able to make a battery pack that could take the strain of racing and provide enough capacity to make a real race car. With their battery swapping technology it should be possible to provide enough new...

I just had an update from a Continental engineer. Continental is a very large automotive supplier, which among many, many other things, makes autonomous driving hardware and software, camera systems, and lane-change warning systems. They have a representative on the ISO 16505 technical committee...

I am considering to buy a MX or a MS this month and i am wondering if my investment to buy a Tesla right now would mean i would be driving a soon to be outdated vehicle in less than 2 years. I have been following the M3 (Model Y) news and it appears that it might be Level 4 Autonomous capable...

I think it won't be long before Machine Learning will advance Tesla's black box to "disable" a local's charge port cover from opening at local SC's if it's determined by his driving pattern & habits that he is near his home charger and has enough juice to get there. Or maybe a perpetrator's...

I test drove a P90D Model S today, phenomenal experience 10/10 would drive again, and along the ride I mentioned that I was interested in the speculated pick up truck more so than the 3 and the rep said that musk has confirmed that the Model Y is a truck =D Also said that it was a few years off...

Hello All - thought it would be fun to start a thread to share ideas & predictions on the impact of autonomous vehicles. Please share your thoughts on what the future might look like . . . Here are some of my own thoughts on the topic: Self-driving cars will become ubiquitous Self-driving will...

All we know at this point is that the Y will be based on the 3 and have falcon wing doors, correct? That could mean small SUV (RAV4/CR-V) or a hatchback.

Has there been much discussion of Tesla offering a dashcam option on their cars? With autopilot hardware, all the cars now have forward facing cameras already built in. It would just require a way to store and offload the video when needed I would think. I could see this being a really...

Please vote and explain why below.

What if Tesla created an App Store that would let you "install" free and fee features and upgrades? Apps that seldom required additional hardware. Just like your smart phone! These could go well beyond the standard vehicle configuration settings. The apps could let you personalize your car even...

Apple is outdated, billionaire Chinese tech rival says What makes this more painful for Tesla is that this comment was being used to demonstrate that Apple was behind by copying Tesla and incrementally improving on Tesla's design rather than looking at it from a virtual* virtual reality...

Thought this was funny. Hits a few talking points! SNL does a good job. onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AFDbbgX8yqCnkXY&cid=841C36C60BF92CC5&id=841C36C60BF92CC5!1342&parId=root&o=OneUp

Do you think there is any possibility that Model Y will have more than five seats? Or will this be totally unattainable on a crossover/CUV/smaller Model X platform?

According to Bloomberg: So... Gen 1.0 = Roadster Gen 2.0 = Model S Gen 2.5 = Model X Gen 3.0 = Model 3 Gen 3.5 = Model Y (CUV) Gen 4.0 = ????? Would this be more like a Honda Fit ($16k) or Subaru Impreza ($18k)?

Elon was just talking about it today in Norway: Musk's Secret Plan to Curb City Traffic With Self-Driving ‘Bus’

Check out this video of a new Tesla lawn mower with summon, autopilot and....

Current dual motor Teslas use two motors and two differentials. Four big metal cylinders. Although Tesla motors are (probably) more expensive than differentials, for improved performance and efficiency, it would seem to make a lot of sense to offer a motor-per-wheel version. Still four big...

Will it be the new Roadster, or a truck, or something no one has predicted? <Link>

I received my Leaf December 2011. It is a great little car for around town but I long for something with the range that can replace my gas car. I am waiting patiently for a Model 3 as I can't afford any of the other Teslas. The problem I have is a need to flat tow this car behind a motor home...

have brand new 19" 5 spokes, my 70D still at the dealer. Let me know if anyone interested of swaping. Elton
