I'd like to stir some interest in removing all money from politics. Right, left or center, I can not imagine why anyone would want money competing with their vote and, in most cases, drowning the vote out. If you have a bit of spare time and want to help out, I'm looking for a scalable graphic...

I have a Tesla Model S70 and a 40 pound dog who would love to jump over the trunk and ride up front with me. Does anyone know if Tesla (or any other manufacturer) makes a barrier that would keep "Ollie" in the trunk area or, of I were to fold down the back seats, something that would keep him...

Jesus I'm old. Listened to it from start to finish for the first time in a long while and holy hell it brought me back. Kurt's voice really launched a sea change in music with that album. /edit Somehow double hit the "N" key in the title. I know it's supposed to be spelled Nirvana with one...

Or maybe even lease one? If your current Model S is a few years old; consider trading it in on a fresh one. This will both help Tesla and increase the used car pool size. Many people are waiting on the price of the used models to come down just a bit more before they own their first Tesla...

I have a list of items to be made. I could approach a company that makes similar ideas and they'd say "thanks, that's a great idea" and proceed to make it. And I would be no better off financially for it. My question is; how do I make any money from an idea? I don't feel making the product...

Hi, Have an quite unusual question.. Does anyone have any nice tips, what to do in LA during the night, when waiting for the next flight to Honolulu. We'll be arriving at 8pm from London. The next flight departs at 8am. First thought of booking a hotel for the night, close to the airport, but...

A bit off topic here, but we are still talking about electric mobility! I've been looking around a bit at RC cars. I'd like to get one at some point for my children to use. It can be expensive. I'm interested in quality. My problem is, most of the expensive RC car market I've seen is...

Hello. I just ordered my Model S and chose to lease it for two years. I will trade in my Prius for it. If I lease, I loose $10K for the total cost of the car. Cost to own is 69,742 @ 824 per month. With lease, cost to own is 79,543 @ 343 per month. Maybe the loss will be less if I buy the...

What to Expect From Apple's September 7 Event Expectations seem to be very low: iPhone 7 leaks show a re-hashed 6/6s body with the headphone jack deleted and a dual-camera added to the Plus. Apple Watch may get some badly needed internal upgrades to battery and processor. New Beets headphones...

Anyone watching? The show's called Better Late Than Never. It looks like it normally airs on Tuesdays on NBC. Those who are Star Trek TOS or fans of one the above guys might like this "reality show". It's a sort of a travel show but reminds me a bit of An Idiot Abroad along w/bits of Bizarre...

Well, this is awkward. I've had my MS for about a year, and I only just now realized that the aftermarket site is "E. V. Annex" rather than--for who knows what reason--"ev-uh-nex". Please tell me there are other people out there who made the same mistake...

I have owned a Tesla for 3 years and have stayed in numerous hotels. Every hotel has made an extra effort to accommodate charging my Tesla, even if it is only a 110v outlet. The Sheraton Hotels has just denied my request because of "safety concerns". Has anyone else heard of such a claim...

IMO you can be 'human' without being a homo sapien. I think of 'being human' as a concept. It means a species has crossed an admittedly subjective line of self-awareness, cognitive ability and empathy. The more we learn about Cetaceans such as dolphins the more it appears all but certain that...
