I'm doing my best to keep a lid on my expectations, career wise life didn't work out, I'm happy just traveling around for a while with a dog while my finances snowball. Doing that in a vehicle that will never rust and will become my dream overlanding rig if I decide to live normally is all the...

Quitting Tesla and the rat race as a whole. I'm already 6 months passed my time frame, but idk if I can do another delay. Worst is I'd just wait like everyone else, lol The road calls to me, I must answer.

No way I'd leave you guys hanging when employee deliveries start coming in ?, hope I can hold out tho. Cause I'm quitting next day, lmao.

I'm actually putting a second set of eggs in Ford's basket. I'm still 80% on Tesla stock, but I don't see why Ford is drastically lower then gm when their product line and plans are more promising and grounded. Does anyone know what I could expect to come from the company's separation into...

In any case, Lucid, and other startups right now. It's crazy that they jump to buying an ICE even before mentioning the word cybertruck. Btw, these guys look like a copy-paste version of RJ.

Ya kno, there's an actual chance this has been a faux pas in the works since the beginning, sped up by Russia. We've all heard that, "Tesla is years ahead of the competition." Yet based on pricing, we have not seen it, in fact I've been wondering how vehicles like the mach-e and ionic 5 have...

I'm gutting the whole thing, so honestly I could give a fuck what's inside. I'm just laser focused on as much range as I can afford in an ev pickup. Original model S/X's that have been cared for, i.e. kept off super chargers, have kept 80-90% of their range over 10 years. When the resale market...

Apologies I'm skipping page 3, I'd like to remind everyone of 2018 The Model 3 35k (low margin) vehicle was available while the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. That's because Elon promised his constituents a 35k car. Was it barebones? Yeah, but the point is he kept his word. Once he...

Tesla probably wants to suggest the best charging practices for battery degradation, and try to keep ppl between 40% to 70% for regular commutes. They should add a road trip mode toggle on maps for getting as far as possible, or better integrate abrp communication, since it's no skin off their...

Honestly, Taycan just had my favorite styling of any available EV sedan so far; I'm just a sucker for abnormal headlights I guess. I mean, I'm obvi firmly in the Tesla camp, but competition just makes more interesting cars function wise in my mind, and I'd rather mix and match if I could ever...

Oh jeez, Porche is really falling off the wagon lately like a drunk uncle on the holidays. Sucks cause I really loved the Taycan. At least no one can claim Tesla or Bolts have the most EV fires anymore.

If California is anything to go off of. We just have energy storage issues ahead. They literally pay Arizona to take their excess renewable energy so they don't blowup, lmao. Hopefully the decentralizing of the grid wins out, and we just use home solar with geothermal storage or something to...

Hmm, how to say this without getting in trouble for totally accidentally stumbling upon it, and absolutely wasn't snooping at all. That original Hanz demo was no joke, I put my full weight on a door sized sheet of sample steel for the CT body last year, zero flex. Trust me, you'll be happy you...

It's a little confusing, because there are multiple word of mouth versions that have floated for a few years, but FSD for employees isn't "free" outta the gate. It's more of a full rebate over time, so while you will get refunded the full amount, the avg turnover at Fremont is like under 6...

Yeah, the service times ppl complain about might seem like too many Teslas having too many issues, but it's actually just a lack of manpower, since its not done by the run of the mill mechanic, its a full-time Tesla employee. Which is why its important to them to actually resolve an issue the...

Maybe its because of how significant the Hertz deal is for Tesla. They actually do have a bit of vehicle inventory. It's a couple cars that accumulate over time because they have been passed on by customers after an in-person walk around. They might have found something they didn't like...

Ah, that's a shame. Hopefully, the utter lack of original model S's with brittle/cracked wiring at service centers stays consistent. On a related note, I shouldn't say when, but I once heard a bunch of production line managers at Tesla got sacked because they allowed peanut oil as a lubricant...

I could see them buying the rights to their sprinter van and wheel design branches, otherwise that's about it. Soy wiring and common parts in MB go bad in 6 years, the opposite of sustainable. They have no battery tech, it would make Tesla beholden to MB dealerships, and not retooling factories...

Getting hit by a moving vehicle is a lot more dangerous than one that is letting passengers out. No doubt, it was a blessing I hit it like a wall, but bailing on an euc is always an option, and the units stop on par with a bicycle. I would say be mindful of your open space, command the lane your...

That's actually a limitation set by the company itself (or hardcap), I think the record is 60 mph. Its about as safe as a motorcycle and you gear up the same. Surprisingly stable too, in NYC somebody opened a car door into me going 20 mph and I hip-checked it shut and stepped down with no issue...
