I have a dual motor reservation and most likely I will stay with the dual, but if I'm being honest with myself the single motor would fulfill my needs over 99% of the miles. It rarely snows here and I rarely go on road trips where 250 miles of range would be an obstacle. The attractiveness of...
I'm sure a lot of you had some interesting experiences with the recent arctic weather. We had one of our own.
We were at the Oregon Coast for a long weekend away. We were getting ready to head home (where we still had power) on Sunday so we stopped at the supercharger to top up before heading...
I think the stalkless design is pretty cool. But maybe not so great for me when parallel parking. When I go all Austin Powers with it to inch closer to the curb.
I think long term Tesla wants everyone on a subscription for FSD. Early adopters who plunked down money for FSD will get the benefit of not having to pay the subscription fee... if they still have the car.
I will be extremely surprised if the first run of CTs are tri-motor. Dual motor has been Tesla's bread and butter. They can make dual motors vehicles in their sleep. They have yet to produce a tri-motor anything aside from a prototype Model S. I think they will stick with what they know at...
My cousin's uncle works for Tesla. He says the NHTSA is making Tesla add side mirrors. Problem is that the sun reflects off the stainless steel body and hits the mirrors and shines right into the drivers eyes. Franz may need to scrap the whole design and start over.
Right now a middle class person can buy a used EV in Oregon and get a $5000 cash rebate from the state. Some used EVs don't cost much more than $5000 (like say a lease return Fiat 500e), meaning you could get a cheap work car for almost nothing here. This is before calculating gas savings...
I voted "yes", but I may have misunderstood the question.
First, I meant yes when it's reasonably possible. And I assumed we were talking about Tesla's internal operations. As in, their own fleet. For example, recently the Tesla repairman came to my house to make a repair in an ICE van. I...
There's really no new news here. As someone else pointed out, this isn't an official email from Tesla. Just a local service center pushing for the end of the year.
Secondly, and more importantly, we were never told we would get these in 2021. We were always told production would begin in...
I've never been a fan of naming cars. But since Tesla makes you do it our Y is called "The Y". I suspect the CT will be called "The Truck". Sorry, not clever.
SPOILER ALERT FOR MANDALORIAN FANS:
I've seen a lot people naming their Tesla the Razorcrest. Might want to rethink that one.
