I wouldn’t read into it too much. At least not yet. As I mentioned, at least on paper, Tesla already has a ton of reservations to fill. Read more

They said in the video that they were originally going to charge for it but someone else who’s not very careful and would have likely caused a lot more damage to the environment put in a cheaper bid, so they did it for free to keep the other folks from getting the job. Read more

Fingers crossed. That would be a hell of an interview once they’ve completed their evaluation.  Read more

For now, I’ve got a kryptonite u-lock with a cable for the front wheel that should do a decent job slowing down a thief. Plus it’s stored behind a locked door when I’m at home. Also (perhaps naively) hoping the grocery store security guards won’t let someone just go at my lock with an angle grinder while I’m inside… Read more

Yeah, if I still lived in a rural suburb, I don’t think an e-bike would have been worth it. 45 mph roads get 60 mph traffic with no sidewalks, so even going for a recreational ride would have been far too dangerous. The best I could have done was drive out to some nearby mountain biking trails and ridden those. Read more

Can you blame me? Read more

And just like that, we’re already talking about something other than Elon Musk. Read more

My understanding from the original article is that they’re receiving spoofed GPS signals, and at the same time, somehow something else is messing with the IRS. Read more

She’s so talented, it’s crazy. Hopefully, for his sake, he doesn’t mess this thing up. Read more

Come on, dude. You’re taking the most absolute bad faith reading of what I wrote and acting like I, again, didn’t spent 95% of the post talking about all the reasons we fully expect it to be fun to drive. Read more

Surely you’ve run into at least one “everything’s a giant fat pig these days, electric cars are all soulless trash that can’t handle a corner, and you’ll have to pry my light, nimble gas car from my hands before I even consider going electric” commenter before. Read more

I’d be willing to bet you’re off by 1,000 pounds. Read more

I’m not making up reasons to dislike it. I’m saying there are reasons people might assume it won’t be fun to drive, and our experience with the mechanically similar Kia EV6 GT backs that up. I then dedicated the entire rest of the post pointing out all the reasons that probably won’t be the case and even included a… Read more

Only if all you care about is straight-line acceleration. It’ll probably weigh at least 5000 lbs, and that usually means tons of body roll and brakes that fade quickly. Read more

Yeah, they’re ChargePoint.  Read more

Even if they aren’t, after their navigation system sends them to a Buc-ee’s to charge for the first time, I’m sure they’ll see the light. Those bathrooms are clean. Read more

What’s crazy is they’re not even the same car. Two different sellers just happened to auction them at similar times. Read more
