I finally got my MINI Cooper S back late last week (long story short, hit a deer at low speed earlier this year). I have many thousands of miles behind the wheel of several MINIs over the years and they've always been super fun with their quick, agile steering. Coming from putting almost 2k...

It is a fine looking vehicle, but I question whether or not the Mobileye software will work especially if it's not a general purpose solution (e.g., requires detailed scan data like Waymo and Cruise so brittle and very difficult to scale). I haven't seen any demos of it, either. The other...

I used Tesla to find financing for mine and the rate came out a little higher than their initial estimates (7.1% vs. 6.49%), but what can you do with high rates nowadays. Tesla insurance was high for me, too, (almost $300/month), so I stuck with State Farm. I have my homeowners policy, another...

They don't have a ton of detail on their site, but they have mentioned they will not have their own battery (I can't recall if it's buried in their FAQs or was discussed in one of the interviews with the CEO). It will tap into the Cybertruck's battery and the solar panels will be able to charge...

Sweet! Thanks a lot - I just ordered one. I've been eyeing one for a while, but balked at dropping $300 on one. I suppose now an officially supported adapter will come out ...

*cough* Cyberlandr *cough*

I noticed the other day that they already allow you to order some of their 20" wheel/tire packages with Nokian Hakka LT3's. I ran a set of those in winter back when I had a Ford Transit and they were amazing in winter (note it is pretty flat around here, but completely frozen 4-5 months out of...

It's the same around here. No way the average new F150 is leaving the lot at that low of a price after the last few years of inflation.

Yes, Elon did mention this at their shareholder meeting. The current 4680 cost is less than they were paying elsewhere 2 years ago, but prices have fallen quite a bit since then. They expect to be at cost parity with current prices by the end of the year. I don’t think battery costs are a...

Neat - that's a good idea to generate some revenue by leveraging their in-house designed solar cells. I really hope Aptera can survive. It's unlikely I'll be getting one of their vehicles anytime soon, but it's an interesting design.

I'm eyeing crossbars as well. I need to be able to remove them easily, though, so as far as I can tell my only current option is to wait for the Tesla ones to become available.

I noticed the other day that TSportine includes Nokian Hakka LT3 tires as an option for some of their 20” wheel packages, so that could be a viable option. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla has an option listed on their shop by fall, too, though knowing them it’ll be out-of-stock an hour later …

I've had good luck with my local car wash, too. I've just done basic washes so far, but will likely try the "medium" wash next, mainly because it includes an undercarriage rinse and they have a monthly subscription for that one (should be cheaper long term). I just have to make sure the...

The easy fix is to just let us order things that aren't currently in stock with a clear warning that it won't ship right away. I don't know why they haven't done that already - this isn't a new problem.

It’s not really their problem, so it never occurred to me to ask really ? like I mentioned, scheduling has been pretty easy through the app. They provided a loaner during both service appointments too. I’ve always had good interactions (service or otherwise) at the delivery/service centers in...

I had a Yakima long arm mounted a couple weeks ago with the intention to help support a kayak I was looking to purchase. On the way to the paddle shop it was directly in front of the camera. I wouldn’t say it was useless, but def couldn’t see as much. It is a wide angle camera, though, so I...

I’m def waiting for the crossbars to become available + maybe the spare tire kit. It would have been nice to add the mezcal too, but alas …

I live in a rural area about 270 miles from the nearest SC and it's not all interstate/high speed highway either. I've owned Teslas for 3 years, but I'm used to traveling that far for service as the type of vehicles I've traditionally liked are not available locally (e.g., MINIs). Luckily I...

It was more a review of the Cybertruck than anything to do with the Cyberlandr. They did talk about it for a bit, but not a lot of new details yet as they're still working on their patents. Dr. Know it All has seen the production intent prototype and said he would do a deep dive again once...
