    Can someone suggest the best color match for Gemini Wheel Curb rash repair?

    I have just been mixing Rustoleum Metalic sliver and gloss black mixed to match..close enough. Have been fixing curb rash since we got our Tesla. Small files,then wet sanding with 220. It's good enough for me...more rash to come..

    Is it time to dump and run?

    Quite the rant. The fact is Musk could have given his money to a number of Orginazations..but he did not. It was another of his publicity stunts.Voting? Musk said he recommend voting for the R party.Look it up on X. My feelings? You know nothing other than your own projection. In an era when...

    Is it time to dump and run?

    Yeah, that's right, as in I do not want to be associated or buy products from an person who..a while ago ..broke promises. He stated he would give billions to end world hunger, then backed out.

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    My thoughts exactly, sad to say. Will keep our 2021 M3 until ? 27K miles and 3 years old...probably for years. The future looks murky.

    Get some details before spewing...States and the charger industry blame the delays mostly on the labyrinth of new contracting and performance requirements they have to navigate to receive federal funds. While federal officials have authorized more than $2 billion of the funds to be sent to...

    Did Tesla really lay off their entire Supercharger staff

    Probably so. Just frustration showing. “What’s the plan, what’s the strategy, and at such a pivotal moment, why are they bailing on that entire team?” asked Jonathan Katz, an EV-charging executive who was part of Tesla’s charging unit for five years ending in 2020.

Put on the Nokian WR G4's and after 27K miles, they have 1/16 left till they reach the built in notice that it's time to get new tires. Think I will put the MXM's back on, not only because I am almost skint, but there are so many...

    Local Electric Company wants EV owners to pay for upgrading neighborhood infrastructure.

    Reading the info that our Electric Company has under policies, a new EV customer wanting to install a level 2 in home chargers may have to pay $4,000-5000 bill for upgrading electric service to their neighborhood. What is not said is under what circumstances that may happen. I have a phone call...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I think Elon's days as a visionary sooth-sayer able to get the 'I want to believe' crowd to stump up are over - at least as far as EVs are concerned.Is it in the company's best interests to pay him another $56B or hire a full-time CEO who is ideologically-attuned to Tesla's market for a fraction...

    Beginning of the end for Tesla

    The goal is to produce 250,000 Cybertrucks a year, or about 62,500 a quarter. Musk says that the rate can be reached at some point in 2025. In the first quarter, Tesla probably made and delivered in the range of 3,500 Cybertrucks. Analysts use vehicle identification number registrations and...

    Beginning of the end for Tesla
