Ultra-Ever Dry is a superhydrophobic (water) and oleophobic (hydrocarbons) coating that will completely repel almost any liquid. Ultra-Ever Dry uses proprietary nanotechnology to coat an object and create a barrier of air on its surface. This barrier repels water, oil and other liquids unlike...

For my upcoming Model 3 purchase, I'm trying to figure out what would be the best deal for me. So I was on a car loan calculator website and figured the cost for some numbers. I plan to get a base Model 3, maybe with the big battery. I probably won't get the D, and I don't plan on getting any...

Too many idiot drivers on the road

For those of you who drive model S or X, do you have personal umbrella insurance? I'm looking for a standalone umbrella insurance, since my home/auto bundle rejected me to add an umbrella policy. The rejection was because I have an open case for an auto accident that is less than 3 years ago...

I was cruising around the internet maps and came across some interesting looking vehicles in this parking lot: Google Maps What you do suppose they are?

I was just thinking of how I was going to break the news to my family that I'm getting a Tesla. My father made a comment a while back that he thought Teslas were too expensive and I think he might chastise me for spending so much on a car, but really no ICE fit the bill. I don't know what my...

Hi, I have contacted Tesla from their press e-mail link on their website, but I fear it is swarmed with demands. So I wanted to try here. I am on the administrative council of an organization called Agile Quebec (from Quebec City, Canada). On November the 7th we will held our 8th edition of...

Cross posting from another thread since its Off Topic. Lately, Tesla reminds me of the quote "60% of the time... it works Everytime!" Everything about this scene is written for Tesla. "What Musk are you going to go with... " It's no coincidence that Tesla is also "illegal" in some states, just...

Bored at work. Photoshopped what I refer to as the Model 3: Purple Rain Edition. If such a think did manifest in real life, the proceeds from the added option would obviously go to charity since Prince was such an unsung humanitarian besides an amazing musician. Waiting For Tesla on Twitter

Does anyone know what kind of pen refill goes in the Tesla pens that they give at deIivery? I love the pen that I got in the gift bag that Tesla gave me when I took delivery of my MS, but the ink is running out and I'd like to find a refill.

New member. Why am I not seeing a place to upload an avatar photo when editing my account? thank you.

Those that know me know I am adamantly against factory farming in any form. I ran across this article (link below) and given the high number of techies here, I thought it would be nice to see if anyone knows anything. I am NOT looking to start another thread about animal rights and/or...

These newfangled electric lights will never be more than a niche product. If one of them burns out, you're in the dark until you can get down to the general store and get a new one. And if the power fails? Pffft, there's nothing you can do. There's no way they can overcome the advantages of...

Now there is another choice. OneDrive OK, a spoof, but fun!

Located just 30 miles from the Cape Canaveral Launch Pads, imagine owning an oceanfront Tesla High Power Wall Charger in paradise. Imagine that Tesla High Power Wall Charger being located within 10 minutes of everything - shopping, international airport, hospital, nightlife and one hour from...

The planet Mercury will appear to transit the Sun on 2016 MAY 09 for the first time since 2006 and the last time until 2019. The transit will last over seven hours, and at least portions of it will be visible from almost everywhere except Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the islands between...

just randomly wondering around, do people still use bank safe deposit box these days? I came to a conversation about how people supposed to store valuables and important documents, and someone mentioned that people are getting rid of their bank safe deposit boxes and opt for home safe instead...

Electric Torque Is No Replacement for a High-Revving Engine completely agreed EV cars are only good for city driving. 0-80mph is fine, after that there is nothing left

Mmd and Blastphemy, both disliked post bc truth is not easy to acknowledge. Would love to have either of you weigh in and express why you have "dislike" what I am suggesting as the truth on this FWD issue ...upon further investigation I'm really just interested in BLASTPHEMY's answer (looking...

The MS has a design flaw that really needs to be corrected rather than repeated in the Model 3. The flaw is how the MS is locked down when connected to a charger. Obviously we all understand why this feature is present, but being held hostage by the charger has made Tesla owners sitting ducks...

I’ve just started a new Tesla focused podcast with my long time friend, and our first episode is live and we wanted to share it with the community and get your feedback (apologies for the self-promotion, we don’t have sponsors and are doing it purely for the fun of talking about all things...

I can see a trajectory toward some undesirable side-effects with what Tesla seems to have in mind. Autonomous driving as an option --> Manual driving as an option --> Manual driving not possible (Autonomous only) Autonomous driving --> Driverless Uber/Taxis --> Car ownership obsolete -->...

First off this isn't mine but I saw an article discussing this car. A lego and Tesla Fan has built a fairly accurate model S out of lego and it looking to get it turned into a kit. From what i gathered if it gets 10,000 Lego will have its design team refine the set and it would be brought to...

Hi All. I know this is a rather obscure musical genre, at least in the greater scheme of things. I've recently discovered contemporary Israeli Mizrahi pop music. I have some iTunes downloads from Sarit Hadad, Eyal Golan and Kobi Peretz. I'm a fan of the Mizrahi "oriental" sound with some of the...

A $2 Billion Chip to Accelerate Artificial Intelligence

My notebook computer is about 5 years old, and while it is still running fine, I am thinking about a replacement. Current system has an Intel Core i5 (Sandy Bridge generation) which has a TDP of 35W, but it has always seemed to run hot. Even just browsing the web can cause the fan to spin...

Hi everyone, New to the forum... I'm trying to figure out how to like/love/etc a post. I don't see any "buttons" on any of the threads. I'm probably just overlooking something... TIA!

After updating my iPhone 6S to iOS 9.3 Safari keeps freezing/crashing more often than not when I click links. I've read online that this is experienced by a lot of people on newer devices, including iPads. My question to those in the software industry is how can this be possible? With Apple's...

I asked the poster how many sets and he says it takes about 2 of these. Pretty close to pulling the trigger, 90 percent the hilarity that will ensue when the inevitable, can I see the frunk question pops up, and 10% so I can carry things in front without them bobbling around. Tesla Owners...

So, it's tax season ... And in today's mail I get several tax statements. One envelope boldly declares IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS ENCLOSED. And PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL Thinking it's a tax document, I gullibly (sp?) open it only to discover an enormous ADVERTISMENT for NI-*&*^&%&-SS4N! They...

Russian people such bad drivers

I saw that a number of Tesla folks are bee keepers. I collect my own "sweet stuff", maple syrup. I was wondering if any other owners are into the other sweet science? Anyone from La Belle Province or North-easterners? Here's a few snaps from my other hobby: Sap is running! Sugar Shack...
