    Seeking Advice - Lease M3H or Purchase MY LR

    Third option, if you can, wait for another year to get the MY Juniper, mostly because IMO, there might be some new batteries with improved range. Anyway, you should calculate the total cost of selling you current car (Tesla is well know fo not giving good rate on used cars), and buying a new...

    Wall connector pigtail with Polaris tap

    Watching the following video, you should check the type of aluminium used for the wires, as recent aluminium wires are less suceptible to corrosion. I saw in an apartment building that the utility panel's wires were tapped, just below the meter and main switch, to the main wires going to the...

    Both of them were under age. They took uncredible risks driving full speed across red lights, and didn't stop even after multiple PIT maneuvers.

    This is insane, another Hyundai stolen by teenagers. Why don't Hyunday don't recall the vehicles who don't have a steering wheel immobilizer and install one like any other car does. I will never buy a car from this irresponsible vehicule manufacturer!!!

    Behind the Scenes at Waymo Driverless Taxi Depot

    I noticed this video showing different Waymo depots in San Francisco, where the Waymo cars park autonomously and then an attendant manually start the charging. If Tesla is really going to announce the launch of the Robot taxi on 8/8, I wonder if Tesla already started developping such depots...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    What about the Service Centers, is there any drastic cuts? I hope not, customer support is one of the weak point of Tesla, IMO. The one near my home is even open on weekend.

    Time to change a basic Supercharging design?

    I think you mixed up the two types of public charging, such as Level 3 DC Supercharging (about 100 kW+) and Level 2 AC charging (about 10 kW.) From your title, you mentioned "Supercharging" which are using liquid cooling cables, so the cables cannot be unplugged from the charging station. So...

    Need help deciding on a purchase

    For a similar price and mileage, I would choose the MY Performance over the MY LR just because of the Track Mode. which could not be added to the Model Y LR, even when getting the Acceleration Boost upgrade. I might never perform any drifting, but to be able to activate the front wheel motor...

    I would not be surprised if Tom Zhu, currently Elon Musk’s right-hand man at Tesla, was not also behind this drastic layoff, who seems to be a kind of Twitter 2.0... If I remember, Tom Zhu first position at Tesla in Shanghai was to develop the supercharging network in China, so part of the...

    Poll - Who really need a model 2?

    Smaller size and smaller price, I would say yes for both !!! Especially if you live or park in a city. Also the Model 2 will certainly have a hatchback making it more practical than the Model 3. Tesla needs both making a "smaller" Model 3 but also a "longer" Model Y with real 3rd row seat and...
