Do you know where your petrol and diesel comes from, how much extra energy goes into its extraction, refining and transport, and how much…

> EV's are are like disposable items. They won't last 10 year The evidence already shows this is false. There are plenty of 10 year old EVs…

This woman's death had absolutely nothing to do with what type of car she was driving. She backed into the pond because she was very drunk.…

This is a brain-dead meme response, and it's the 2nd time I've seen you post it in 2 days. Not a single person here is either professing…

NEVS doesn't take effect for another year yet, so I doubt it's that. I'm assuming that Tesla has simply decided to cut their profit margin…

The Y is significantly uglier IMO, and I have a deep distaste for SUVs in general. Having said that, it's an extremely practical and…

My annual insurance premium is almost identical to the Camry I was cross-shopping it against - $1150 comprehensive through Allianz.…

Not at all. It's pretty common for a product to get a permanent price cut to a new, lower level. Being notified that an item you wanted to…

> just don't monitor those things then it is like without having the sensors.. I'm stil paying for them....that's my gripe. > Also I think…

Very interesting - having said that, I would happily buy a smart watch without any fitness sensors if it was $50 cheaper. I only want rich…

I can't imagine what link you're referring to, or what you think it will prove. The vast majority of Starship development is being done by…

Grok is a word invented by the science fiction author Robert Heinlein in the 1960's. Lots of people read science fiction books, and using…

> I'm yet to see him have an original idea It's virtually impossible to prove if an idea is "original" since people can arrive at the same…

It's possible - nobody can say for sure. But the company Musk bought was tiny, and there's zero evidence to suggest that the guys who…

> How has musk solved climate change? Firstly, that's not the claim. He's *helped* solve climate change by driving forward the adoption of…

Thunderfoot is an absolute joke. His style of "journalism" is roughly equivalent to News Corp - he's primarily an entertainer with an…

There can be little argument that Musk has already achieved the first two. Tesla's commercial success as a battery and vehicle manufacturer…

This is not an accurate account of events. If you read the reports more carefully, and without a hate-boner for Musk, the facts are as…

You're right, Track mode is the exception - but it is only available on Performance / Plaid models. Outside that, the only way you can…

This is absolute garbage and smacks of misinformation. On a Tesla, the user has zero control over how braking is achieved - the car's…

I absolutely agree. People aren't going to buy used if the new ones are only an extra few grand. There's plenty of interested buyers if the…
