This article is about the five possible unusual innovations that you may see in a production Tesla in the not too distant future. Tesla files a lot of patents, as do all manufacturers, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that a patent filing confirms a particular gadget will make it into production...

The German Model Y will have 4680 batteries, the new body structure, and more. Elon Musk clarified a lot of previous doubts we had with a single tweet. The main one was why Fremont did not get the “world’s most advanced paint shop” before Giga Berlin if it still produces vehicles with paint...

The analysis suggests that Tesla might integrate the cooling into the body. We consulted a mechanical engineer and heat transfer specialist* to get his opinion on how Tesla might design the cooling system for its new 4680 integrated battery system. The analysis suggests that Tesla might...

The flat windshield on the electric pickup truck may be ideal for that. We try to cover everything related to exciting patents on the EV world. Weirdly, we missed reporting about a revolutionary windshield wiper Tesla trademarked in September 2019. Like the innovative wiring harness it patented...

It may not be about battery tech, but instead, an increased rate of production and capital savings. Tesla — and essentially all other automakers — are dealing with battery cell constraints. While most mainstream articles point to the Tesla / Maxwell acquisition’s worth when it comes to battery...

A review of EVTV over 10 years: EV Adoption curve with Tesla's most recent numbers http://evtv.me

This video is a great comparison of the processing speed of the touchscreen in Model X/S versus Model 3. When averaging the speed of different tasks on each model, the Model 3 average 4.44x faster than Model X/S. Given that Model X/S are considerably more expensive than the Model 3, the...

I am the lead of a team of researchers and entrepreneurs pushing for clean energy in Canada's Arctic. We are trying to put together a proposal to government to fund a large-scale renewable project that would largely depend on Tesla Powerpacks and other similar technology. In an effort to ensure...

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...

Hi everyone, I'm Sebastiaan. I've realized there are quite a few people who lend or rent out their Tesla to other people. I do the same, and am often faced with the same question whether they can use the official app to control the vehicle. I usually tell them no, because I don't want to give...

Would it technically be possible through a software standpoint of view to add the Model 3 phone key functionality? Just a random thought that came to mind.

Hi, i`ve got an Tesla S 75D 2017 modell and i was wondering how i can adjust and set the power to the back wheels. I`ve heard that you can adjust how much power the front and rear wheels have. I terms of horsepower or something i think. Is this a legit thing? Cant find it anywhere on the internet.

Hey everyone! I am with TechnoBuffalo, if you haven't heard of us we are a Technology centered YouTube Channel that has done reviews on both the Model S and the Model X. We are currently in the process of filming our review of the Model 3 and will be doing a live Q&A on YouTube at 12 PM PST...

I have an idea about extending the range of the cars. What if we use Qi tech to charge the cars while we are waiting at stoplights or parked? Instead of hooking up and clogging up the city streets with charging stations we could just pull into a parking space and the car would charge. No...

Howdy~ I put $1000 deposit on this super low priced AP1 CPO and a few days later found a great deal on a private party sale with the rear-facing seats (my current lease was up and I need wheels asap, really wanted the RFS but settled because this was such a great deal). Anyone want to take...

I know in 2016 tesla updated the computer with an NVIDIA processor. Does any owner know if their have upgraded the computer to a newer chipset from 2016. In the computer work a year is a long time. Thinking about getting a model S but feel the computer on model 3 is probably a newer one then...

I was super excited to get my CPO 16 Model S 70D and sang praises to Tesla. However, in my 15 months of ownership and only 47,000 miles on the car I have been to the service center 8 times for three broken door handles (replaced with previous model not the new stronger ones), needing to have...

Hey guys, I just wanted to post a quick video of me rambling (sorry lol) about charging while being a renter and using a quick220 to charge faster. Its about my volt, but will apply to my upcoming model 3. Hope it helps anyone who needs it. Ill be posting lots more volt/ev/tech videos so stay...

If I were to install a 110v outlet through an inverter, hooked to the battery, how quickly am I gonna drain the 12v battery while the car is parked and the inverter is powering some heavy use items? The car would most likely not display is was turned to ‘on’ because I wouldn’t be sitting in the...

I was able to initiate autopark for a parking spot between two cars, but it refused to complete. Was it because the space was a little too tight? I had to manually finish the last easy part to completely back into the space.

The Tesla is the last car I will ever own, simply due to its incredible technology and comfort. I am interested in what you don't like about it though? Personally, I find it annoying that even with passive entry enabled, I am unable to tap any of the passenger handles to have only that one...

Hey there... Just got my Model S two weeks ago - after having driving my Toyota Highlander Hybrid for over 12 years and 164k+ miles... Let's just say as a tech nerd - I was pretty excited about all the new technology offered - especially in comparison to a car/suv that felt outdated when I...

So this is not exactly hot news... More like funeral memorial words :confused: I never really understood what happened between with Mobileye and Tesla. I mean truthfully: When and why did they actually decide to break up? Who took the initiative? Why would Mobileye want to leave Tesla, with...

So, the results may be skewed by the forum this is posted in, but it seemed the most appropriate one. I like Tesla vehicles for the technology, power, and unique nature of the vehicle but I have noticed that many seem to be very interested in FSD. Personally, I like to DRIVE a vehicle, but...

I just finished ordering my Model S and I am the gadget type who'd order any hitech toys available on my cars. However, for the M3, I have decided to hold off on the Full Self-driving option and opt for it when and if it becomes a reality. My though is that this may take 4-5 years to become real...

So, Elon musk said the S/X would always be at the front of technology so it's a little disappointing to see Model 3s getting features S/X don't. If you watch this video you'll see the immersive sound has low/high instead of just on/off and that it has a new option, speed sensitive volume. I'm...

Anyone else notice that in the past few months the streaming radio seems to buffer a lot more than before. Mine buffers or gets a loading error close to 80% of the time when trying to listen.
