    Tesla insurance companies under legal fire

    First of all, Elon Musk earns a whopping $0.00 a year!! That's right... His 'deal' was that he would get paid as the company MADE MONEY... Too bad ALL CEO's aren't like that! Second, Tesla doesn't pay owners insurance claims... The insurance UNDERWRITERS do (many insurance companies use...

    Aerodynamic Cybertruck Gear by Mars: Engineered for Minimal Range Impact

    Oh sure, just when I want to buy a rack to put a 270 awning on, you tell us that there is a 'new' one coming out "later this year"... Great... And I was about to get the Expedition one (although I would have liked a 'fuller/longer' one, even just 1 foot... Okay, so I will ask when? Next week...

    Another setback for the Cybertruck

    Did you REALLY expect to pay those prices 'estimates' from 2019 when they came out 5 years later? We didn't... I am bummed about the range a little bit... Wish it got just 50 more miles per charge, but it's not like we can't go on any long trips... But not much is priced the same as it was...

    The Cybertruck Cost in Perspective

    Yeah, that's a another DEMO vehicle... Not a brand new one... BUT I have to say, it's really low mileage (127 mi)... But still, not 'brand new'...

    The Cybertruck Cost in Perspective

    Is it just me (or the area I live in?) because when I go to the Tesla site and try to buy a BRAND NEW Cybertruck from 'stock' they don't have ANY... Just Demo vehicles... And every one of them has at least 1000 miles on it... There are a LOT (couple dozen) BUT there is only ONE 'new' one... and...

    The Cybertruck Cost in Perspective

    Sorry, I don't think the scout truck is very promising at all... It's TOO basic and just looks kinda dorky to me... And again, why did they only make the bed 5.5 feet instead of 6 feet? Sorry, but that 6 inches can be a HUGE deal... Sure seems like a LOT of companies are 'shrinking' the size of...

    Another setback for the Cybertruck

    So you only keep your Tesla because of FSD?? And you think someone else is going to come up with something better soon?? I don't... The other car companies don't want to spend the MONEY it would cost to fully develop it from scratch... They know it would be BILLIONS and the payoff not so...

    Come see Unplugged Performance’s fully equipped CT at the next Odyssey!

    Can't wait!! Even got that lighted 'whip' working too!! Now the hard part comes... Figuring out what kind of FOOD to bring... hehe... CU THERE!!

    Dangerous UI bug found

    You think mirror tilting is a CRITICAL button? Wow... What did we all do before tilting mirrors and back up cameras... No wonder we're such skilled drivers, we had to do it all the HARD way... You know, by asking our least favorite child to get out and help guide us... hehe... JK!! Personally...

    Can you please explain virtual power plant?

    Actually it's QUITE true! Just this month alone California 'tapped into' over 100,000 home battery/solar systems from VPPs to create 535 MW of power. According to the utilities this is comparable to the output of a medium sized LNG electric plant... Even allowing for the facts that VPPs are...

    Tire wear at 7000 miles

    As long as YOU didn't damage it... Should be, yes... But in any case you need to get it fixed or you will be buying one extra tire all the time...

    Can you please explain virtual power plant?

    I would do it! It definately will pay better being part of the VPP than just selling the power by yourself... The utilities will pay MUCH MORE during those events to VPP members than the standard rate (if you are on NEM 1.0 or 2.0 - if 3.0 then it's REALLY higher than your 'sell' rate). There...

    Tire wear at 7000 miles

    If it's ONLY the rear passenger side tire that's worn down, then it could be that the rear 'steering' is out of alignment... In other words, it's as if your 'rear wheel steering' has THAT wheel turned slightly and is essentially 'dragging' it... If it's not leaving any 'rubber' on the pavement...

    Power Transfer Switch?

    You do realize that putting one of those in means doing a bit of rewiring... Fairly complicated rewiring... Because (I believe) you will need to 'hook up' those items you want running on the backup 'panel' to that switch so that during switchover, they can work... Also, HVAC and pumps are the...

    Can you please explain virtual power plant?

    Basically, the way it works is that if you have solar AND battery you can sign up... When you do, you are allowing the Utility company (via Tesla's VPP) to 'control' the energy during an 'event'. They have access to your solar AND battery stored energy. When an event is scheduled, you get...

    What’s Online About the Cybertruck… vs The Reality

    Who loads things over the side? It would have to be something REALLY light weight, either that or you need some SERIOUS arm strength... Way easier to just put it in through the back... If it's just something smallish then it goes in the Frunk or in the back seat area... But yeah, Tesla DOES...

    Bed grab handles

    Would really be great if someone could come up with a step that attaches to the tailgate that could be used when tailgate is down... I can already just climb up on the bumper and over the tailgate and THEN put the tailgate down if needed, but would be nicer to just have a step that was about...

    Bed grab handles

    That's great for getting OUT... hehe... But I wouldn't want to drop from the top of a 12-15 foot pole into the bed unless it has a really thick air mattress... hehe...

    Cyber Odyssey returns to Mars in Sept

    Been on two of these events so far (missed out on 2 others), one to the Tank Museum out by Joshua Tree National Park (last year) and most recently to the Pismo/Oceano Dunes one... BOTH were a blast!! Had a lot of fun, made some new friends, and learned a LOT about off roading in a...

    Smart Solar Charging the CT?

    Not sure why you have a separate inverter... Tesla's Powerwall 3 has a built-in solar and battery inverter already that will allow 20kW of DC solar input. The one key thing to note though is that you will NOT be able to 'charge on solar' if the Powerwall is not fully charged up first... Solar...
