Obrigado Fil. Mas como não tenho facebook, parece-me complicado contactar o clube. As pesquisas online também não surtiram nenhum resultado conclusivo.

Pessoal uma pequena ajuda: já pesquisei e não encontrei informação precisa sobre o tema. Já alguém comprou usando um serviço que a Tesla em Portugal define como leasing (suportado pelo BPI)? É que pelo que consigo perceber aquilo parece-me um crédito vulgar, sendo que há caracteristicas no...

O vendedor não sabe a localização ao certo para alem daquela que escrevi. Segundo ele, o chefe dele já sabe a localização exacta e não pode transmitir mais informação do que aquela que o vendedor sabe de momento.

Isso não será seguramente. Falaram especificamente centro de Lisboa. Ainda pensei que pudessem ter a loja na centro e o service center na periferia. Mas pelos vistos vai ser tudo junto.

Sim, acredito que seja algo do genero. Mas com oficina e numa grande artéria da cidade, só me recordo a Toyota da Avenida da Republica. Nessa avenida estaria integrado com muitas outras marcas (Audi, Peugeot, BMW, Opel).

Small update on Tesla operations here in Portugal, as far as I could understand from the short conversation with a Sales Representative last Saturday. - They have a huge backlog of test drives. Around 3000. - No news on the Store location, besides with will be downtown Lisbon and with a Service...

As far as I can tell, it's not there anymore. It's here: Google Maps At least it's from there I'll be test driving a Model X next Saturday. :) Let's see if I can get the sales rep to talk about future plans in our country.

There you go. As far as I can tell, it looks like the headquarters for EVpower (http://www.evpower.pt/). Maybe Tesla are using them as a temporary office until they have their store and service center. Maybe it's where they are conducting the interviews to fill those needed spaces. As far as I...

Will do. But it will be night time. And if I know the area, there isn't a lot of public lightning. But I'll see what I can do. :)

That is interesting. That is not a good place for a Tesla Store considering the high-end profile they seem to prefer. I would expect a store in a much more high profile street, closer to Lisbon downtown. But if it's for a Service Center, then it makes sense. Very close to the airport, great...

I'm aware of this. But that service center is a Zeev project (multi brand dealership that imports Tesla). Not a Tesla one. We still don't know where it will be located. Nor the store. Grande abraço para esse lado do Atlântico!

What's your source?

This is an interesting interview conducted by evo to the CEO of one of the major sports car brand in the world. Surely one of the most important today - Mclaren Automotive. Let me say I'm very sorry for the quality of the photos, but I think the important can be read. I highly recommend the...

My guess there will be situations when a level-4 autonomous car will raise his hands and say it clearly to the driver "I can't handle this". But every year that passes those situations will be a lot less recurrent because the system learns from the driver what it should do, and everybody around...

Being an early adopter is hard on your wallet. But being a laggard is not a lot better. You got your Tesla on the wrong "side" of the curve. Welcome to 99% of all products sold today.

Misleading? Source please.

This wins for me. When you compare a passive safety feature with one active safety feature, that seals the rest of thread. And, as one user stated, the airbags were not always a free option. Nor the ABS. Or the ESP. Or... it goes on and on.

Oh. My. God. I wasn't expecting this. Actually I was but it's mind blowing nonetheless! And now Tesla just put a huge billboard to every other car maker (and some wannabes like Apple and Google) saying "Ready when you're ready.". I guess someone at Apple or Google is using a spreadsheet to...

Any one wanna bet Tesla will increase the pre orders in a number greater than the expected Bolt production for 2017 in the next 24h?

This can't be a part deux for Model 3. Must be something alluding to it, but something "smallish". Maybe interior design?

Exactly. With a projected production of 30.000 units, this so called "Tesla Killer" is just a small annoyance in that marketspace.

I'm messing around. But my bet is that it's after market close.

Don't know if this was discussed here but... GM will produce over 30,000 Chevy Bolt EVs in 2017, says battery supplier LG Chem Where's the bottleneck? Why so few? Can't produce batteries fast enough? Artificially cap so it won't cannibalize ICE vehicles sales? What gives? GM clearly is big...

I think we're missing the main point. IMO the relevance in this is that a bunch of car brands decided to join and create a network of chargers. Yes, it's true none have any EV that can charge at that rate. But they are willing to go the extra mile and future proof this network. They are not...

Well.. 20K miles is hardly a lot. It only seems high mileage if you compare with the 4K one. And for me, the 85 would be the sweet spot. It would allow me to travel almost 100% of my annual drives without stopping.

Maybe when all things are under the same roof (pun intended), the prices will drop. I have absolutely no experience with solar panels, but I heard somewhere (I think in a podcast) that Solarcity was (is) more expensive because the solar panels they buy are of higher quality compared with their...

New ‘ultra-fast 350 kW charging stations’ for EVs to be deployed in Europe in partnership with Audi, BMW and others Full article: 1 - It puzzles me this kind of project only requires a 13 million euro (around 14,5 million dollars) to implement. 2 - And GM still thinks it don't need to...

Solarcity don't build solar panels. They merely sell and install. That being said, it doesn't mean that Tesla-Panasonic don't need them. They have the expertise and infrastructure. And the article clearly states that the Tesla-Panasonic solar panel build is contingent on Tesla-Solarcity merge.

Yes they need.

We know? Who? Considering a few dropped out (needed the cash or whatever the reason) and some went Model S/X. Where do we account the new pre-orders that I bet were put?

Hey João. I bet Porto will be next on the list for a new store and service center. I too I'm in the software engineering business and I'm debating on taking a chance and apply for working at Tesla new store... But the requirements don't work very well for me, since I don't have the experience...

Boas @gmorales! Thanks for your opinion. Regarding zeev and my interactions with them, I think they are a little "old-school" on their approach to selling cars (very dealer like kinda of business). It's the status quo, and until Tesla officially arrives, there are no incentives to change...

Tesla Wind - clean energy for those countries that don't see the sun very often.

I'm kinda of on the same bandwagon. Actually I would like to know why ordering from Zeev is frown upon... In my contacts with them, they were nothing short of great ambassadors for EVs and Tesla in particular. They even let me test-drive a MS P85D when I said clearly that I don't have that...

Ask Avis or Hertz how they deal with that. Anyway... the clients will be accountable for any stuff they do to the car. At least be "flagged" as a trouble client and they won't be able to rent another car in the future.

Like the style but please, if that is a possibility, make it affordable to the common people... Edit: come to think of it, if Tesla ever gets in the e-bike business, I'm guessing a folding bike that just fits on the frunk. An electric, "affordable", folding bike. Yes please!

How about something like this: Audi's active suspension converts road jolts into electricity ?

If you change the word sharing with renting, what changes?

My guess: sleep

The problem I see in Porsche is not on their Panamera/Macan/Cayenne replacements. I think they will be better cars as an electric version. But their sports cars, especially the 911... I don't see it. I just don't. Off-topic: nice boat you have. What is that? I regularly dinghy sail (mainly...

Getting on-topic, if (and that's a big IF) this law is approved, is it possible for the brands to have some quota for ICE vehicles? I don't see Porsche getting all aboard the EV train. Doesn't make sense, imo.

I was thinking... Maybe they have reached an agreement with some country in Europe (and/or China) to build a Tesla factory/gigafactory. Ok... it's not a product per se. But the timing would be unexpected and would free up some space in Fremont to accommodate the Model 3 line adding the benefit...

My guess: a way to monetize Supercharger network and an agreement with another brand (Merc?) to use it. Hey... he said it was unexpected!

Actually you're right if we think in some historical spots in our cities. But that is troublesome for a 5-Series BMW too. Since we're not talking about some US truck, I think my fellow countrymen will be ok. :) Btw: here's an X in our main highway (A1)

That is very cool! Although it's a prototype, I see Mercedes forward thinking much ahead of their competition besides Tesla. I especially like those pedals. Question: that steering wheel can accommodate an airbag?

Was there any a better time for Google and Tesla to work together? Google, I bet, has a ton of information on working with radars, and Tesla has a ton of information on working with level 2 Autopilot in all sort of road conditions.

According to this, then a Tesla won't be able to see a witch. I'm not sure that is a problem, though...

I'll just leave this here... European Auto Titans Charge Up Race Vs. Tesla At first, I thought Daimler drone van idea as laughable. But on second thought, it's kind of cool. Thinking outside the box.

Well put. That's why I admire (with massive envy) those that bought a MS here in Portugal, considering the price of the car, if they what to service it, have to transport it to France. And of course no SC around, yet.
