This is a question you should have researched before buying the car. Model X is not high on reliability, according to CR survey. This is latest cool tech. Reliability isn't its selling point. Consumer Reports puts Tesla back on recommended list as reliability improves

Haha, LOL. Next you will tell me that he is having a 7th kid and lives in a big mansion to be more efficient?:rolleyes: The OP is also moving to a non-EV car because it is more efficient for him/her to not wait longer at the supercharger. You think ordinary people's time is worth much less. But...

@TSLA Pilot , You are aware that Tesla CEO frequently shuttles in a private jet between Los Angeles and San Jose, that burns a lot of gasoline? He is also promoting individual space flights. How much gasoline do you think is burnt to take a person to space just for a joyride? Are you really a...

Why is everyone assuming that the OP got a big gas guzzler V8 ICE car, and a few blaming him for destroying the planet? May be he got a nice 100% renewable hydrogen powered car like this? ;) Or an efficient hybrid like the 52 mpg Toyota Camry that has almost same environmental foot print...

The range issue with used Teslas has a class action lawsuit. This is an issue with used electric cars. Tesla Class Action Says Pre-Owned Warranties Aren't Honored | Top Class Actions

No, I don't. My statement was very clear. Even the ev-blog has a title "Audi e-Tron starts in the lead" for January. EV Sales: Norway Is it misleading when some article is titled "Tesla Model 3 is best selling car in Norway for month of xyz" and next month it is not even in the top 10? Case in...

I meant "so far this year". But we know, there will be a surge in Tesla deliveries soon. You can check it at eu-evs.com.

Another electric-fuel cell hybrid commercial truck is announced. Plug Power Partners with Lightning Systems to Build Zero-Emission ‘Middle-Mile’ Delivery Solution "Plug Power and Lightning Systems will deliver both standard and long-range Class 6 trucks through their partnership, taking full...

That is very good to hear, that Honda did the right thing no matter what it cost them, even when you only had a few months of the lease left. I find the Helium stuff really suspicious. Never heard of this. Don't know if your dealer is just trying to do unnecessary stuff to get more money from...

Is the cell supply problem confirmed? The article says, it is suspected. Lots of supply chains are being disrupted because of the corona virus in China.This may be due to some other missing part(s). I read that Tesla is also buying its cells from a Chinese company now. Hopefully, this isn't a...

On to hydrogen again! Aberdeen hydrogen buses. 30 kg refill in 20 mins, Not bad for a ZEV bus. Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia started fuel cell buses just las month. Sarawak’s hydrogen bus service hits the road tomorrow

OK, Thanks. I read the first one. It seems to say what you said: storage cost of < 1cents/kWh. So I am having a hard time reconciling the NREL battery storage cost with this 2018 article. Hopefully the author didn't make any mistake in coming up with that 1c/kWh. There is a link for 'quietly...

I browsed all 3 links you provided, but I still don't see how you came up with these figures you wrote: "Utility solar (1-2 cents a kWh) + storage (1 cent a kWh) already lower than operating cost of coal plants and natural gas plants in 2019." I am specifically curious about your storage...

Interesting find. I sent inquiries to 2 to check availability. Haven't hear yet. Possibly next week I will hear back. Instead of random speculation, why don't you go ahead and contact them to see how much discount they are offering? The lease prices for Mirai and Clarity have actually gone up...

Ah, I see. A while ago, someone said it was $50k to replace the stack. To my knowledge, the way it works is Honda or special dealer rep calls up people when the stack is ready to replace. Drop the car, get it back in 1-2 weeks. I never heard of a situation like yours before, that the car is...

Was it just the water pump or fuel cell stack too? I've heard of long waits for water pumps. There was no reason for you to drop the car off for a water pump. You should have kept driving and waited for the part to arrive. The wait for the water pump, as heard, cab be 3 months.

Porsche Taycan Turbo S Is the Third-Quickest Car We've Tested

A list of used Mirais? ;) Mirais were always available. That is way too old model with obvious issues. Just 4 seats being major one. I was referring to the new models, Honda Clarity Fuel cell and Hyundai Nexo. I'll admit, I repeated what I heard from other people, as I am not in the market for...

It seems you are right and I was wrong about this. I picked up that "best sections added up" from a Matt Farah podcast. Now I looked it up, and it appears that what you said is correct. Tesla 'Plaid' Model S crushes Porsche Taycan's Nürburgring time, witness says - Electrek "“But what the new...

Some fact checking is needed here. Toyota Motor North America Reports December 2019, Year-End Sales - Toyota USA Newsroom

It was just Elon, adding up the best times of many sections to come up with a very optimistic final number. That car is also not any production Model S, and not even future production Model S. No one knows what mods were applied to it or if it can be produced as tested. Most likely, the...

Volkwagen is sweating hard because it didn't prepare itself for the present.There is no disagreement that they can't scale up fuel cell cars as much as they can the electrics, which they need right now. Toyota and Volkswagen have shared #1/#2 automaker spots in the past, and Toyota is doubling...

It is mind boggling, why no one filed a class action on this yet. Will be interesting to see, what restitution people get for the money they paid. True FSD is still years away. Saw this reddit thread on Tesla FSD experience today...

Exactly! The station maps show how fast they run out of hydrogen. I guess that means no one is driving these cars. (/s).o_O It shows why more money is well spent to expand and enlarge these first gen stations that were low capacity starter stations. Next gen stations will be 3-5x bigger and even...

California newly granted another $115 M for hydrogen refueling stations. Now team H2Q will get really desperate and crazy. :D GFO-19-602 - Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure

To be fair, half of the people interested in Taycan seem to be previous or current Model S/X owners. On the three Taycan forums I browse sometimes, most people ask how it compares to Model S. And many compare to Model 3P.

Not quite sure what some of you are talking about walking dead. BMW is in the top 3-4 EV producers in the world. It will double the total electric cars it made in next 2 years. It just handed out its half-millionth electric car last year. BMW has I think 3 to 4 times more electrified car models...

Just heard that Audi-etron did really well last year. 19500 in Europe + about 5500 in the US (plus Canada may be) is already close to 25000 units sold last year! Don't know if this is available elsewhere. I was reading a review on another forum. People are pleased with its range estimate. It...

I'd argue that it is to make the purchase and return look much easier than it really is, so some customers will buy without looking for defects or a test drive, then get stuck. As returning is difficult, there is a high chance customer will just keep it, even with minor defects or...

I think that's just distance by total time. If he started from dealership and waited at red lights, his actual speed while moving was higher. He said it was 60% hwy driving at 70mph-90 mph. Is this official? Or is it the total of the best times in each segment added up? That is what I heard...

Someone over at rennlist saw this after his test drive. Taycan Turbo - EPA rated 201 miles - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums Also see couple of posts by Nicole. She posted power consumption study done by a German magazine. I am afraid to copy paste from another forum.

Can you elaborate, what makes you think that? Why can't he be just saying these to get more money for his "future" products?

Nice review of EQC. The interior is luxurious.It has heat sink, like many other European EVs. That should help the range in cold weather. .

Isn't it because people are waiting for the German EV subsidies and Mercedes is waiting to sell in 2020 for some EU emissions credits? A similar car, Audi etron, is selling really well. It sold over 15000 just in Europe last year and another 5000+ in the US. It actually outsold Model S & X...

H2 in light vehicles makes lot more sense than expensive, slow charging and degrading battery cars. Let's look at the light vehicle passenger market in the US. Most are CUVs, SUVs and pick up trucks.. H2 makes lot more sense for them than pure EVs which will need tons of battery, and will still...

"Tesla did not make enough cars to meet all of their demand" Sorry, I can't understand this. Tesla built a lot of more expensive LR and LR-AWD and performance inventory Model 3. From the posts here, these were clearly produced in excess of demand at that time. Those higher priced cars are STILL...

Man, this bait and switch game looks worse than other dealerships. I have never experienced this at any dealer. At least the dealer ads say "1 @ this price". Not exactly like promise delivery by year end, then play dirty games to push ppl to buy the more expensive cars with the threat of losing...

I meant, the German autobahn speeds. EPA is testing at 60 mph. In the US also, most freeways are 65 mph and many (I-40, I-5 etc.) are 70 mph. Typical speeds of cars are 75-80 mph. On I-5, 85-90 mph is not uncommon. If Taycan drivers will be driving at 60 mph while Civic and Corolla guys whiz...

Has anyone seen this? There is a rumor posted on reddit that Porsche says, real range is 290 miles. The car is optimized for German roads/higher speeds. No solid proof of this yet, so be careful believing this. Porsche Taycan Turbo S: Real world range 290 miles according to AMCI : RealTesla...

It's clear. But surprisingly, no lawsuits on this in 3 years. The cars will go out of service before they get the feature, if ever. is it because of the fine print about the regulatory approval that no one can sue? Waymo got the regulatory approval recently. Don't know if this is state...

The important question is the range. The heat pump can help quite a lot in winter range. The battery: Sophisticated thermal management, 800-volt system voltage Is the range shown on dash for the total battery capacity or just the usable part? I think I read somewhere that Taycan reserves some...

I find such logic very odd. Tesla is a public company. It can raise money to do the right thing for the customers. Anyone can come up with these excuses to not pay for things. Elon Musk is worth more than $20B, but people are worried about his wallet. :) It is really something.

This is the test drive video by Matt Farah. People test driving the Taycan are coming out very positive. Looks like it is a driver's car. Porsche will not have trouble finding rich dudes who will buy the Turbo/Turbo S. Taycan & Mission-E - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Test Shows Tesla Cybertruck Glass Seems Weak Versus VW Golf Glass Guy uses a real sledge hammer (not the rubber mallet) and steel balls on a regular VW Golf window. Really interesting video. Must see.

Interesting that Taycan's real range appears higher than EPA range. Is Taycan using a heat pump to use battery heat in the cabin? In this video , Matt Farah says it can transfer heat from anywhere to anywhere.That should help the range in winter. He also makes a point which is valid. If one...

This is little sad. If people knew those cars will never get the self driving feature, they might have bought a different car too and not spend 117,000 with the hope to get FSD soon. Those who leased it for 3 years likely saw nothing during their ownership. I'd think true FSD will need to have...

You do know the fundamental differences they had, right? Here is a very old article. Insight: Toyota-Tesla Partnership "Marred By Clashes Between Engineers" The mindset is very different between the two companies. For those conflicts or otherwise, RaV4 EV also had lot of quality issues. I don't...

It is almost 6 months thiis thread started, So what are the next steps? Is the class action proceeding and is there any time frame when it will go to trial? Is it waiting for NHTSA findings/ruling? There was a deadline for NHTSA inforequest last month. But I imagine, Tesla can delay the...

Huh? Are you new to Tesla community?;) Read this from 2014. Or do you think a site named after Tesla was spreading BS too? It is possible Tesla has dropped the prices of these chargers a whole lot. But it did cost quite a lot few years ago. Charging forward with the Tesla Model S "Two points...

I thought, Tesla used to charge $2k+ for their high power wall chargers. Is Tesla giving L2 charger for free now? It is listed on the site for $500 currently. There is a thread here on home charging. Seems people got melted outlets using their NEMA outlets, besides vlockign the dryer outlet. And...
