    Why is Tesla in the lead in for the article. Two adults survive Tesla plunges 250 feet off California Cliff?

    There is also the Hot springs hotel just outside of Union. It is still in the process of upgrades by a new owner and management. But, they have a theater, bar, and lodging... and it has been on the "Most haunted" list for quite a while being an historic sanitarium/hospital/therapeutic hot...

    Why is Tesla in the lead in for the article. Two adults survive Tesla plunges 250 feet off California Cliff?

    Let me know when you go. Maybe I'll come down from the Blue mountains and compare with you. I driven most of the Oregon coast down to Northern California, but only glimpsed the California coast as a kid.

    Why is Tesla in the lead in for the article. Two adults survive Tesla plunges 250 feet off California Cliff?

    I grew up running across it as a kid in the 70s. The northern part in Lincoln city and Newport. A different stretch but just a magnificent.

    Why is Tesla in the lead in for the article. Two adults survive Tesla plunges 250 feet off California Cliff?

    I just watched a report that the driver has been arrested for attempted murder. The authorities have probable cause that this was intentional. So... This is a feel good story where Tesla engineers are heroic designers of exceptionally safe cars.

    Until the temperature drops to the frost point. Then, stay off the roads!! When I was there they lost their ever loving minds.

    Elon Musk Financial Times Interview (Includes some Cybertruck content)

    Fair point. My understanding is the Cybertruck is supposed to be the next iteration toward full automation/fewest parts/minimal human interaction build similar to the models 3 and Y. The models S and X are still relatively hand built.

    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    If you can swing the financing, order the model Y, pay the fee and wait for the delivery date confirmation before you sell the Jeep. Then, use the jeep proceeds to pay down the Tesla loan instead of as a down payment. That way you can still enjoy the jeep's utility until the model Y is closer...

    Buggrit, Across the Board Tesla Price Increases

    With what I have experienced in maintenance costs, fuel, and just regular pain-in-the-ass'ery with my I.C.E. vehicles compared to my Model 3, I am still fully in the "take my money" mode. I reserved a dual motor CT, but if I have the opportunity and the credit, I am upgrading. I want the...

    Tesla’s reverse on battery cells signals shift for electric vehicles

    I am not sure where this article is going? Honestly, I struggled with the grammar. Yes, Lithium Iron Phosphate is an older technology. However, it hasn't been available due to patent concerns. Until, as the article states, this year when the patent expires. The chemistry, especially if...

    Rumors Growing Over Something Coming on 12/9 (Elon/ Numerology/ Split Rumor)

    This whole billionaire/tax issue is a shell game. It bothers me that people oscillate between percentage and absolute to support the FUD. It aggravates me that Mr. Musk is the focus of "pay yer taxes b**ch!" but the other billionaires (I'm looking at you J.B./Doktor Evil) haven't been...

    A Unionized Tesla Workforce Could Benefit All Parties

    Thank you. I support unions, but this post bothered me for many of the reasons you clarified. I think stock is a good idea for the employees to have access to, but not in lieu of cash compensation. It seems that currently Tesla has an attractive compensation package, but to leave control over...

    Starlink IPO

    The irony/absurdity of a hood scoop on an electric vehicle just makes me giggle! I want to see this done.

    Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    The point you make about the emergency vehicle collisions is valid. However, it is not what Monroe's point was about. Mr. Monroe is upset about the focus on Tesla being at fault when everything about these collisions, fires, and deaths are driver related, not the technology. Every last one of...

    They plan to take-over Tesla

    If by hassle, you mean a scam for Hedge funds to take your money as theirs? yep.

    Want to invest in electric cars? GM could be a better bet than Tesla

    Ford and GM have been using planned obsolescence for decades. I understand they are large and diverse corporations with their own credit companies. But, for them to build an E.V. to rival Tesla, means they will need to build vehicles that last, for a comparable price point. I do not trust...

    Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    It is a matter of perception. This dealership is rather large for our town of 12,000 population. The whole statement validates the "long while". The dealership had a single Mach E, did not promote the Mach E, never put it in their prime advertising spot or close to their main thoroughfare...

    Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    Your observation about the dealerships hits close to home where I live. The local Ford dealership had a Mach E for sale on their lot for quite a while. Until someone where I work bought it for a deep discount. There is a lot of issue to unpack with this purchase. But, there was only ONE BEV...

    Fiery deaths?

    The owner did not buy FSD, the autopilot was not engaged (the cars are fully connected to Tesla), and had the fire department been trained in putting out an E.V. fire they would not have used WATER. They doused the Lithium battery fire with the one thing that makes the lithium metal EXPLODE...

    Edmunds: Tesla Model Y versus Shelby GT500

    I agree with some of this. Had an actual race car engineer actually designed the Mustang it could have won that race against a model S, maybe. I am an "old" Ford enthusiast, back before the industry stopped being about their version of strength, capability, longevity, and owner repair, and...

    Edmunds: Tesla Model Y versus Shelby GT500

    I do understand. There are so many industries that rely upon the traditional I.C.E. platform that Tesla keeps embarrassing. Each of these para-industries (my word) stand to lose when Tesla becomes the customer's choice. They keep trying to make the case that I.C.E. is still relevant...
