Whelp... there goes my productivity for the day...

We have a small set of solar panels and a handful of PowerWalls that we use to handle the random (and damn annoying) power blinks that hit our place (or when a major windstorm comes through and we are out of juice for a day or so). We haven't had any issues keeping the house juiced and the...

Having gone "off road" on my Tesla X (and let's be honest, it was a dirt road with some ruts and a few decent sized pot holes), and heard what I can only describe as a stomach twisting crunch when I missed my line and nailed one of those said pot holes.... I will GLADLY PAY $2k to prevent my...

Makes me think that they have a fat buffer that can be unlocked via the OTA (or even BMS) depending on how you drive and charge. Got a lead foot and like to hit up the DC Fast Charge/Supercharger... you get the vanilla "range", be nice to your battery and the soft cap moves up. I could see how...

@747 Whalewatcher Nice! I wasn't aware they had them out already, that should work for home (looks like all of these converts cap out at 40AMP).

Yeah, it's a trade off, you can plug in any charging point (or appliance) you want, but you are limited on your draw. It shouldn't be an issue if you are plugging in when you get home and being ready to roll in the AM, but, I did opt for the hardwired Tesla charger in my house on a 60AMP...

If I was smart, I'd go with the Silver and never have to worry about scratches showing or even having to wash it often... but I am not smart and love me a little pizzazz.

There's a joke in there somewhere about "dropping $1,000 and all I got was this crummy T-Shirt..."

Who pee'd in your Fruit Loops this morning? For one, no one is talking about FSD, we are talking about how Driver+ would fair (or we hope fairs) against Blue Cruise and Tesla AP. I personally use the (FSD enhanced) AP in my Tesla all the time on road trips. It takes a lot of the annoyance and...

If the Tank turn being only available in certain areas, to me, it's no different than the Summon feature on my X. You can't just fire it up and have it drive to you down the block, it's geofenced to prevent you from doing it on public roadways. It makes sense, it's a safety issue, and as other...

In defense of EA, I'm assuming that, even though the handshake and all of the software from EV maker to EV maker should be standardized, I'm guessing that because they are effectively the "PC of EV Charging" and there can be a fair number of variances involved, it probably complicates the crap...

Totally agree. When I heard about the 4xe and what they were doing, my first reaction was literally "WTF, why would you do this? You now have the complexity of two systems, a bunch of dead weight when one is running, and you have basically destroyed the efficiency gains you get from an electric...

I know Ford is keeping a tight grip on their story and the talking points, even going so far as to remove "range" indicators from their trucks (unless you dog around apparently). That being said, the fact that Rivian isn't doing pressers yet, does seem a bit odd, but, then again, look at Tesla...

And even adding on top driving surface, surface condition (rain for example), wind, etc... you also have the rolling resistance of your tires (which of course will change based on load, temp, speed, and the speed they are running on a given surface etc... Most GoM's are "meh" at best, due to...

Depends, which one is Peashooter...

Guess they got tired of shipping trucks missing features and functionality. Apparently the Germans are also amateur's, I wonder how their dealers are explaining this to their customers that placed orders... BMW can't finish production of 10,000 cars over chip crunch (msn.com)

Batteries, Semi-Conductors, hell... even paint. Seriously, I can't buy more then 1 gallon of paint at a time from Sherwin Williams right now because of the chaos in Texas closing down/messing up the paint production down there. I asked the dude what the hell I was supposed to do with a gallon of...

I find it interesting the armchair quarterbacks on this site are nattering about how Rivian could have planned for these shortages of parts and such.. but seem to be ignoring that GM is releasing trucks with missing options, Ford can't get trucks to dealers, Stellantis, BMW, and other legacy car...

You must be in upper management, or a class A troll looking for something to do because the rest of the internet is boring.
