If they show signs of failing, Elon Musk could buy them and at least keep them American owned.

Consumers around the world have set the record straight, making the Tesla Model Y the best selling vehicle in the world (truck, car, SUV, electric, etc.) for 3 years in a row.

Why do you keep acting like you are knowledgeable? I purchased the Model Y over the Audi A5 and BMW 3 series due to the overall performance and ride advantages. The base Premium Model Y performs better than a base Porsche Macan in almost every metric.

This statement is inaccurate. Despite the unique look it is about the most practical consumer pickup you can buy. More space, more hauling capacity, towing, speed, handling, turning radius, efficiency, etc. Also the safest pickup you can own.

I believe your perception about the current state of FSD is skewed. I’ve had versions that haven’t worked as well, and I’m looking forward to the upcoming pothole avoidance.

Saw this article about Lidar and thought it was interesting enough to share. I still have some reservations with the Launch edition, not including Rivian’s ”next gen” system.

It’s arguably my first Winter with the FSD, but Maryland had unusually bad weather this year. I ran FSD in snow, heavy downpours, and fog. A few times I took over in snow but not often, and the improvements since March to FSD have been substantial. 99% of the time I am turning off FSD is because...

This has already happened...

For fun, I configured the BMW IX3 and it has some basic autonomy for $2,500. However, it has a disclaimer that it is only a 4 year subscription.

But there is an undefined risk. I paid Tesla $8,000 this year (before the cutoff) to own FSD. It will take me about 5 years to break even (selling has some value). I am betting that Tesla may raise the price as it becomes unsupervised. Rivian is potentially in the same boat. The current version...

The ability for an elderly person to have a car take them to the doctor is essentially here today. While no manufacturer is rated for point to point today, the consumer version of Tesla FSD backed me out of the garage and drove over 100 miles to my friends house yesterday and parked me curbside...

I'm surprised no one is asking the question about value....if the 20" tires are less expensive than the 21" version, then why the $1,000 premium on the 20" package? Can anyone confirm the 20" wheel is worth over $1,000 more (expensive design, durability, etc.)? These are both forged wheels...

As someone who is cross shopping a Model Y Performance to the Rivian Performance, they each have their trade offs and as I suspected highway real world mileage will be less on the Rivian due to the drag. I've got to factor that in, because I regularly drive between 70-80 miles an hour. The...

I am not normally vain, but I can’t get over how ugly it looks inside and out. What’s up with the weird shaped screen? I guess it is not getting as hammered as the Ferrari Luce since it doesn’t cost over $600K. I used to ride BMW motorcycles and over time it felt like their styling department...

What stood out to me is if they were comparing (3) equally priced options, the Model Y Performance would have done even better. Personally, my issues with the BMW are the weird shaped screen and what I suspect would much less sophisticated software capabilities, not a fan of the outside looks...

Although 19” options would be nice, I am sure you will easily be able to trade your wheels and get $$$ from people who would prefer the looks.

Thought it was fairly detailed and they did cover real world range. I suspect you didn’t like the conclusion.

Thought I would at least check out the BMW even though I have reservations about their ability to execute FSD. Car Wow compared the Audi, BMW, and Model Y.

The good news is that Trump is against the Chinese brands running free reign in the US. Probably the only thing saving Rivian right now. That won’t last forever, but hopefully long enough for the R2 to make some headway. The Tesla Model Y is the number one selling EV in China, but the next 10...

So many considerations...when will I be able to place an order? Will it have Lidar by then? Probably not, so will I be OK with the basic point to point FSD planned by the end of year? What changes will Tesla have in place by then? The range is not much lower than my Model Y RWD (357 vs 330)...
