future

I’ve been thinking about ALL the complaints I constantly hear about Tesla, Elon, S, X, 3, Y’s, firmware updates, etc. And, it dawned on me “what if” Tesla didn’t exist, what if Elon was never born? Where oh where would we be today? I for one, am entirely appreciative of Elon and Tesla and...

After my recent service center experience in Orlando, I have become convinced that owning a Tesla may become more and more problematic in the future. The car itself is wonderful, but the experience of owning a car and having it serviced is very important, and Tesla is failing miserably. The...

Well, I was looking forward to Full Self Driving coming sooner than everyone expects it. But since Tesla will be raising the prices of their cars out of consumer reach as soon as Full Autonomy is solved, I'm going to hope it takes a bit longer. Some countries have a year or more delay beyond US...

One of Tesla most noted features recognized by the mass market, is the ability for the vehicle to not only drive but park itself. The advantage can be realized by anybody from the city to suburbs; and anywhere seeking convenience. This latest video series will demonstrate the advantage Tesla has...

I did some research on the battle to win our self-driving future between Uber and Tesla. Here is what I found -

So I'm about to reach out to my company's facilities manager to request/suggest/beg for installation of some electric car chargers. :cool: So far I have the following arguments for this initiative: Much like the complimentary car wash service, this would be an overall morale booster for the...

With Tesla's cars being electric and with level 4 autonomous driving around the corner, will Tesla take the initiative to begin adding modular appliances? Consider the following scenario: You've planned a vacation 6 hours away at the beach with your friend. You don't think you'll spend more...

Originally saw this in a ValueWalk post. This one looks halfway feasible, although I doubt the production model will have suicide doors. Thoughts?

Tesla Motors Inc stock has continued to decline over the last few weeks as concerns regarding increased future competition worry investors. Increased competition in the future could snatch Tesla’s technological edge, making it difficult for the company to achieve its long-term target of selling...

Tesla first appealed to me due to its use of alternate fuel technologies. However, when I first went to the Tesla store what struck me was that Tesla has reached the simplicity on the other side of complexity (which is the grail for those of us in engineering design). They have removed the...

Elon Musk has said that hundreds of gigafactories will be needed to replace ICE vehicles with EVs. I beg to differ and will propose a wild ass theory to prove that only 20 gigafactories or 1 Terrafactory will ever be needed for total world auto domination. Let's proceed. One gigafactory will...

This is highly speculative topic, but Tesla is all about future. 500k cars/year thanks to Gigafactory it's just the start. There can be delays (or can happen little sooner), but let's assume, that it's quite sure it will happen. I mean Gigafactory, Model E and 500k+ cars/year. The big plan is...

I had an idea. Want to get peoples' opinions on feasibility of the idea.

Tesla patent reveals metal-air hybrid battery powertrain - AutoblogGreen Sounds interesting. Looks like a good plan to enable the car to go 500+ miles. If they put this in the next gen model s I hope they make the metal-air pack removable so we won't have to lug around all that dead weight...
