We're still in 2022. Making a prediction about the most important EV of the 2020s...??!? I'll take the under. I own a Model 3, I want a CT and I wouldn't be surprised if the most important EV of the 2020s is still on some drawing board somewhere. The most important EV will be the one that...

2.5 years is a pretty short life. No battery warning, no communication from the car to the mothership. Hell, my LG fridge knows when the water filter needs replacing (and it does as it tastes like tap which the missus doesn't like) and somehow my self-driving car can't tell. Supposedly the...

The first time was the right side B pillar camera was obscured permanently. No tow was needed. I don't off-road and by the time I do get into it, I'm sure there will be other people's experiences I can learn from.

My model 3 had 25k miles and is 2.5 years old. Yesterday, my wife and I both drove the car in the morning. I went out to run errand and my model 3 was non-responsive. The front headlights were flickering and it sounded like a pump was cycling. A burning/hot liquid smell slowly increased. I...

Here's an anti-flip story from Toyota regarding the last US run off the Land Cruiser https://www.motor1.com/news/521995/2022-toyota-land-cruiser-resale-forbidden/

ibtl ibtl is a (childish) internet acronym that means "in before the lock" and is akin to hands in wet cement. Basically, a way to say "I was here" before the thread got locked/deleted.

Congrats on your new car. You said you took delivery...was this perchance at a Tesla center where they had a bank of chargers?

I'm talking about day ahead and spot markets. This is the first journal article I found about Spain's overcapacity in the past. I'm confident I could find more. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jen/2016/8510527/ (https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/8510527) Regarding the last couple of years, there...

Musk is extremely successful but sometimes he's a righteous dufus. Spain has had solar overcapacity problems since the mid-2010's. It wasn't until recently that fractured power markets were more unified showing for brisket geographic sales. "Spain should" is the same as "build more so you'll...

I saw a Polestar awhile ago and had to look it up because I was naive. Then I saw a Genesis GV80, nice(!) looking ice car, had to look that up too. I keep seeing the Polestar around because it has this distinctive silver-grey that I've never seen on a car before. Teslas are everywhere here...

When he says they should increase the price, I wonder how much of the pricing kerfuffle he was aware of. "Boys and girls, they will be raising the price"

Ford announced they would be making an electric truck at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2019 with testing following in summer 2019. Cybertruck reveal was November 2019. (Mustang Mach-E debut was November 2019). Just because two things happen concurrently does not mean that one caused the...

"Should a state use an internet poll to determine anything?" 100% nope

BEV this, BEV that, y'all/yous are being optimistic. "Electrified" can include range extenders, hybrids, and plug-in hybrid. There will still be internal combustion engines in cars till sticker price parity exists. BEV will not rule the roads until other factors are taking care of as well...

Is this the wine industry where your partner thought you needed a truck to... something or another? If so, I feel validated because I said they would love it. Either way, glad to hear it's working for you.
