The stop for refill versus recharge is important, too. Standing within inclement weather doing the safe thing and holding on to the fuel nozzle until it clicks is uncomfortable. There are great days where the weather is so enticing as to be outside, but even then, the fumes of the fuels still...

"... I can also personally attest that the car can go several miles after the gauge reaches 0% lol." I can attest to the learning curve too. 0 on my Model 3 battery meter is not 0 but it is scary to think of the possibility of having a flatbed tow truck pick me up from I-84 and transport me...

If the advice is unsolicited? Nah. There are plenty of opinions that aren't worth the air it takes to burp them. If they're trying to help? Absolutely. I've been told too many times that my F250 is a P.O.S. just because of the badge. But it has only left me walking when I neglected to give...

For corporate circle jerks? no. For reliability, check with the old guys at the parts store, and ask a independent mechanic. Look at who is spending the most for advertising and question why, and pay attention to what the ads are selling. Are they selling sexual attraction or are they selling...

We drive our standard range model 3 to the Portland area often. we have the range to get across the mountains to Pendleton, then to the Dalles, then to the Vancouver Mall, even in the winter. It does take us longer than a trip in our Fusion, but it is entirely more relaxing to take the Tesla...

JD powers and Consumer reports are reputable? I used to think so, until I realized their revenue sources are not "independent" from their subject matter. They both show preference to their donors, just watch the advertisements and realize it is the same manufacturers getting the "best of..."...

Maybe this is a foul, but I will ask a question to answer your question. The energy in the pack must be managed to be useful, so wouldn't this dictate the size of the battery pack? Years back, Tesla had to invent a new way to handle the power of the 100KW battery pack because until then the...

These modules are sealed inside the pack. There are videos showing the effort it demands to access the individual modules. Given what I have watched, I would find it easier to extract a V8 engine in my driveway, than to extract a module without damaging the battery pack.

I think a full pack may be easier to replace. They won't go in and replace a cell, they will replace the whole pack by disconnecting it from the front structural member and the rear structural member with only a few bolts. I have removed whole engine assemblies, suspension assemblies, even a...

I don't see Tesla waiting to do anything. They could have stopped at any time and just made a car that was good enough, batteries that were good enough, safety that was good enough, and left the charging network to someone else. They haven't stopped improving on their own designs yet. In my...
