This is just plain wrong. A stock makes many new ATH's during a bull run, especially a stock like TSLA. Selling at one of those all time highs is a terrible move if it's early in the bull run. And you never know if the bull run is just beginning, or just ending, until after it has ended. Most...

Tesla prices all their trade-ins/leases at supply/demand market prices. They sell most of them at action at low wholesale prices because they don't consider themselves used car dealers, they are producers of electric vehicles, they only buy used cars from customers to facilitate the sale and...

As a long-time experienced investor, I recommend not wasting time looking at what Wall Street analysts say about ANY stock. They are always behind the curve. On average you would become wealthier doing the opposite of what most analysts say.

As a general rule, we can assume all humans are far from perfect.

Obviously it's never a good idea to try to extract a vehicle in Park! This is not even "Extraction 101", it's just common frickin' sense. I'm sure no one intended it to be in Park, it was operator error. Probably nothing would have happened if he didn't turn the wheel. Because tires skid on...

RAM markets the current Ram 1500 REV (a range-extended electric vehicle, or EREV/series hybrid, formerly known as the Ramcharger) explicitly as an electric truck—specifically the “World’s First-Ever Range-Extended Full-Size Electric Pickup Truck.” This positioning comes after Stellantis...

I understand the different powertrains available, I'm just saying an electric vehicle doesn't have a tailpipe, that's a hybrid or an ICE vehicle. It's the industry that is trying to greenwash these dubious designs on an unsuspecting public by calling them EVs when they are not. Next thing you...

You're right, I was remembering the announced Scout EREV that went from 10K towing in the all electric model to 5K towing in the EREV model.

How can it be considered a full-size pickup if it has a tow rating of only 5,000 lbs? As a side note, my personal criteria for an EV is that it doesn't have a gas tank and an exhaust pipe that spews toxic gasses, the Ram 1500 REV doesn't qualify as an EV, regardless of how the auto industry...

Ha-ha! That's funny! I hope you are not being serious.

I'm going to be brutally honest here so put on some thicker skin: You have no idea what you're talking about. The Cybertruck's hitch does not fail anywhere near it's towing limit, you have been too easily fooled by a dramatic YouTube video created for clicks, and have no understanding of the...

If I know I won't have destination charging, I like to plan on needing a charge right before my destination. That way I can charge up to 60-65% and have a little break before I roll into my destination with 55%-60% SOC. If I know there will be destination charging, I still like to arrive with...

Does anyone remember how hot your gas car would be when it had been running on/off as you stopped at different destinations and had nowhere to park but in the direct sun? There would be the solar heat gain in addition to all the engine bay heat soaking through the firewall. And no way to...

You're not missing anything. It's just the anti-Tesla forces at work trying to steer people away from buying some of the most practical new cars on the planet. Their normal mode of operation is to figure out where Tesla's first principles thinking diverged from legacy auto, and then try to...

Are you new to pickup trucks? Just throw a tarp or some 4-6 mil Visqueen down. Makes it easy to get the last bit out too.

I haven't been using a mobile hotspot recently but I believe the problem profile was configured for wifi to remain connected in drive. But there was no wifi connection, only cellular, when the problem occurred.

Followup: I think I tracked the problem down to one of Driver Profiles. I use multiple driver profiles depending on the task, off-roading, highway cruising etc. It seems that an upgrade to a new phone somehow got me on the wrong driver profile (and Premium Connectivity seems to not be linked to...

If last week was the reference week then "next week" would be this week. Right?

I wonder why? It's because it's an expensive but very crappy vehicle, from an objective standpoint.
