  1. iPace / iPace / Zeekr / Cybercab Which will Customers Prefer?

    Personally, I cannot imagine choosing the CC over one of the Waymo options (except for the novelty of it). The entrance and egress of the low-slung body style plus the semi-reclined seating position looks pretty uncomfortable to me. I like the Waymo service and I've found the Ipace to be very...
  2. iPace / iPace / Zeekr / Cybercab Which will Customers Prefer?

    With the Waymo Austin launch now well underway - they accounted for 20% market share of Uber rides last month - and Tesla coming into the market in ~two months or so, customers are going to be able to pass judgement soon on the form factor of the Tesla CB versus the iPace and Ioniq 5s from...
  3. Report: Tesla lays off entire Supercharger team! [Update: Elon Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

    That reporting was accurate. It did not say the vehicle was being cancelled. It said the vehicle was being deprioritized in favor of the robotaxi (which was true). Musk reversed himself after the stock got pulverized and reprioritized it. Kinda. Sorta. But actually let's talk about robotaxi...
  4. .

    LOLOL Okay, you got me. I thought it was someone sneaking in from the GM Authority.
  5. .

    Historically, GM stock has been a terrible investment. The Total Shareholder Returns (including all dividends and buybacks) for the past ten years has been.... An annual return of 0.89% or an inflation adjusted (real) return of minus 17.5% over the ten year period. A $10k investment in 2013 is...
  6. Tesla is selling superchargers to BP

    Unlikely that many will be on existing gasoline retail sites. They are too small, they do not have a backcourt that supports it, and most importantly they are not wired to deal with large power loads. Also, while BP does own some of its stations (unlike any of the other oil companies in the US...
  7. Tesla is selling superchargers to BP

    The BP Press release says that these WILL support plug and charge and that they will be featured in the Tesla UI in the vehicle. Do not expect them at most ARCO / BP Stations, however. BP is wise enough to know that these are best suited for big footprint sites: The roll-out is planned to begin...
  8. Blown Away - Optimus Video Update

    Buy the vehicle, invest in the robot. This is why there is a 2x upside in TSLA by 2024.
  9. CLA EV Article: Tesla Beware. New Mercedes Electric Vehicle Beats Market Leader in This Key Area.

    The new Mercedes concept gets almost the exact same range as the new Model 3 that went on sale last week. The CLA concept is 466 miles WLTP with the long-range RWD only. The Model 3 actually on sale real vehicle gets 421 miles WLTP with the long-range AWD. If Tesla were to do a RWD version, it...
  10. Tesla Model S test drive

    Wait, what, they have drag strip mode on the LR? … [looking up on the interwebs] … oh cr@p! This is primarily my wife’s car and she is a speed demon. I am absolutely hiding this fact from her! But good to know.
  11. Tesla Model S test drive

    We ended up buying an MS LR on Friday (take delivery week from Monday). The Ultra Red with Cream interior dropped to $77k. It was $110 in January and was $86k last week when we did a test drive. (Also drove the X but my wife said it felt too much like a high performance minivan, lol.) Even the...
  12. Transfer of FSD!

    Well, no relevance for CT. Must take delivery by 9/30. Tesla outlines the following conditions to owners: Be the legal and registered owner of a Tesla vehicle that currently has Full Self-Driving capability included at the time of delivery of the new Tesla vehicle. The vehicle cannot be the...
  13. Transfer of FSD!

    So now we gotta figure THIS out as well? Grrr.... By end September.
  14. Can our GRID keep up with DEMAND?

    This is what the grid is struggling with in California.... Certain vested interests are blaming EVs for the strain but it is simple cooling degree days from our old friend climate change.
  15. Can our GRID keep up with DEMAND?

    These are silly, click-bait stories to pitch the agenda of equipment sales companies and consultants. If we banned the sale of ICE vehicle in the US tomorrow (won't happen), the total electricity demand increase per year associated with EVs would be about 0.8% per year of additional electricity...
