How many 10 square miles with road will be needed to bd durveyed in the world?
Can slmrone do a quick estimate? ;-)?
New Model 3 spotted at the factory
Ouch! that’s worse than I was expecting for sure. Any reason why he mentions the (coming ‘soon’) Ford Mach-E but doesn’t mention the X or the Y? Are TESLAS not available RHD in the UK?
Yeah, it blew up. Sorry. Here's the cliff notes version (feel free to skip again if still too long! ) :Just an FYI. Wall of text = unreadable. I wanted to read it, but didn't.
2020 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range Tested: It's the "Slow" One

A good read. Happy Friday!
Yeah, I just try to look at it from a casual consumer's view. We here are interested in what's going on underneath things and so a refresh to us might not seem like much at all to a casual consumer. So thus, I cringe when Fred puts a headline like that on an article because it then creates expectations of something more.
I try to keep my point of view from someone that isn't well informed on how Tesla operates or updates it's vehicles..........usually because I get asked constantly about refreshes from friends/family when it comes to Tesla
Consumer Reports is slowly coming out from under a rock.
Pay Less for Vehicle Maintenance With an EV
I think this is too unrealistic to be true, unless they are building a tent, and not a giga factory.
"CR research shows that EVs cost less to maintain than gasoline-powered vehicles"
I am amused by the word research in the headline, like it's equivalent to Niels Bohr's research into the structure of atoms or Alexander Flemming's research into penicillin. Anyway, inspired by the "CR research" I did some "research" of my own and discovered the following:
My Mercedes annual service was regularly over £600, My Nissan Leaf was £159 and my Model 3 is £nothing. It looks like CR could be onto something here
Rain delay. No records today.So, what might Nico be referring to at Nurburgring?

Believe it or not, although I've been invested since 2012, I still don't yet own a Tesla! I invested more in the stock and bought a cheap MG EV instead! I'm held to ransom for annual servicing in order to keep the warranty of course... This drives me mad, the first service involves literally nothing apart from looking at a diagnostic for 3 minutes and walking around the car looking at it, then there's the hassle of taking it in and picking it up and I get to pay them £100 for this! It's also had to go in twice for software updates!!
As to the report, servicing cost aside, the fuelling costs away from the US in Europe/UK are an order of magnitude more expensive. On my low rate electricity night tariff I pay 10% of the previous ICE fuel costs per mile!
My servicing, fuel, and road fund license costs are £2750 ($3558) less per year than my last ICE! When I get a Tesla, that will drop even further!
These Dinosaurs don't know what's going to hit them, especially once the Y and lower cost model gets to Europe/UK...
On the claims side there is a need to assess the claim, but if the car is taken to a trusted body-shop, a quote for repair, backed by photos and perhaps video can be submitted to a central assessment office. I think they would build small teams of on the ground assessors, but more for cases than seem "non-standard".
