> Tesla doesn't use any standards in either its charging system Excuse me? All Teslas in Australia use CCS, just like everything else sold…

Something that often isn't mentioned is that services like Apple Music, Audible, Spotify evolve over time, and Tesla has to update their…

Counterpoint to the above: > reliance on touchscreen for interior controls Not as much as you might think. Cruise control set, speed and…

It varies very widely, so best to get quotes for yourself. Mine is $1150 p/a with Allianz but I've gotten quotes up to $3k for the exact…

Basic? What features did you feel like it was missing for the price range? It's got all of the interior stuff you could hope for - very…

>I absolutely love a bewildering amount of buttons. No wonder you don't like the Tesla interior - the clean minimalist layout would be the…

> prefer tactile buttons and switches I also prefer buttons and switches for critical controls, but not in the way that many luxury cars…

IMO it really depends on which services / apps you want to use in your car. Tesla's mapping and navigation integration with the car is…

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…

Accuracy? You mean for keeping time, or for fitness stuff like step counter or heart rate? Or something else?

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…

> Doesn't change the fact he latterly said Ukraine should surrender I disagree with Musk's "expediency" stance on Ukraine, but I don't…

> 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…
