Sure sounds like Apple patent trolling again.. Locale and several similar apps use this principle and work very well. Locale is brilliant once one takes the time to set everything. It automates everything around you really.

Best to have a special box inside it, with 110/220v heating, and only if you really need it, with an upgrade which could pull the power from the battery, which will make it much costlier. Talk to your local pizza delivery, if you can't find anything off the shelf in a home improvement store or...

AMPd, Tesla does what it expects is the best average choice across all the most optimal choices for different users and circumstance. An individual user with tech knowledge then knows more. It would be great if new options were made available. Even if at a service center, specifically for such a...

Zinc air isn't suitable for cars. Not with current chemistry development stages. EOS is stuck at same limitations as the creator of first rechargeable zinc air batteries was about 15 years ago. Coincidentally, it was the same guy who created the world's first AC drive trains. So the kind in...

China is a developing market. In such markets, those who can, want to be able to spend more. It is the whole point. In China, this reflex is at its peak. It will take a few years to appreciate Tesla for what it is there but rest assured Tesla is hoping to reach this effect first. It is about $$$...

You are correct but even Tesla sells on performance being on par and better. Most owners then don't floor it all the time. People want to know if these cars move or not. As for the OP, something tells me he works for BYD since there is no mention of any other Chinese brand and there are many...

EV1 incarnation in a way..

Check the regen settings. It could be you simply have the milder of the two settings activated now.

Actually, GPS and actual radar will always show about 7% lower speed than your speedo on any certified production car becuase your tacho is supposed to lie to you by that much, to keep you on the safe side of the law. Add to that the tolerance of speed traps and you can actually speed over the...

Don't know but Tesla should offer temporary upgrades for limited time or times charged for say a prepayed value, etc. Say, 20 bucks per extended charge or whatever...

The drivetrain becomes very inefficient at those higher rpm's and also loses torque. It would be possible to take it over 20.000 RPMs probably, with a higher voltage (say over 500v) but it would need a redesigned inverter, better cooling and the motor wasn't designed for those RPMs. So it may...

Lets hope Tesla corrects the horrible design flaw and stops batteries from spinning ;) Probably Tesla simply wants to keep customers from flip floping as they usually do before chosing among all the S versions and have some simplicity to speed up sales. So buy an S or RWD or X for AWD. They...

I don't mind solid industrial design. Awards themselves do not mean much, quality issues have been present with their products, etc. Things like hype, non removable batteries, proprietary connectors, locked interfaces, etc spring to mind, so forward looking isn't what I would describe them with...

Hi could be that you have some alignment issues and that the handling isn't as sharp because of it?

I admit I am so uninterested in Apple that I cannot even bring myself to check out what the man did but I really don't like the idea of anything Apple impacting Tesla. I am sure they did it also to flirt with some investors and that the idea is to suggest the same stock trajectory but it is a...
