I know a few of you with EDS are gleeful reading stories like this. I guess you are unaware that we live in a time where lawfare and DEI judges and prosecutors and weasel lawyers are suing for anything and everything because they don't like the politics of an individual and see their power as a...

I live in the Southern California mountains, which as you might expect is a high fire danger zone. My home is only 5 years old. Most insurance companies won't even write a homeowners policy for my zip code. I had to go with the California Fair Plan program just for the fire insurance coverage...

Congratulations Mr. Keryk. We are all expecting your unbiased review including photos to show if the car has poor fit and finish, gaps in the body panels and a cheap interior as so many Tesla haters often claim. I'm like Cujet, I also own a Jaguar F Type. Mine is the R model with a supercharged...

Probably stolen by the same demographic that is stealing catalytic converters and stripping copper wire from streetlights or other sources. Funny how these types of crimes weren't that widespread and common about 10 or so years ago. I wonder what changed ? Well, I think most of us know.

Examples please ? I'm usually pretty immune to being hoodwinked but maybe I have missed something.

Tesla's management team and board of directors won't give a rat's rectum about losing their premium perception if and when the rumored $25k models comes out. Which will probably be closer to $30k due to the inflationary effect upon materials and labor over the last few years. Case in point: Did...

There are a lot of very wealthy and powerful people in the public eye that truly deserve any hate that is directed towards them. Like the people who are funding the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine and death to America demonstrations. Names like Soros, Rockefeller and Pritzker. And look up who they...

Maybe all of those interns and engineers who don't want to work for Tesla will go to work for Ford and GM. And then maybe those two companies will be able to produce viable and profitable EV's. In the not so distant past, the best and the brightest engineers all wanted to work for Tesla and Ford...

My homeowners insurance TRIPLED last year and that doesn't even include the separate fire insurance policy that I had to buy through the California Fair Plan program. I just got my auto insurance renewal statement from the same company that I have "bundled" my H.O. insurance with. On the...

The wild card is and has continued to be gas prices and availability. Gas prices here in La La Land continue to be high, like around $4.50 a gallon for 87 octane if you shop around a bit or as much as $6.10 for 91 octane in the mountains where I live. And you can't swing a cat without seeing a...

Lots of speculation and reactionary negative assumptions about these recent events at Tesla. Has it occurred to anyone that since Tesla's competition are doing so poorly with their EV sales, why should Tesla devote money and resources towards expanding their charger network ? The whole strategy...

My mom lived in a large retirement community in Orange County CA. When she first moved in she cautioned me to be highly vigilant when coming to visit as there were a lot of golf carts owned by the residents who used them to get around, and a lot of bad drivers in general. Her expression was that...

One of my cars fills on the right, the other on the left. I usually remember and make my approach to the pumps accordingly but once in a while I forget until I'm next to the pump and then need to drive around to the other side. And it's usually my luck when there is a line at the pumps on the...

I haven't really looked into hybrid vehicles, but don't the majority of them only have less than 40 miles range when in the electric mode ? That seems next to worthless except in an emergency situation. And are all hybrids "plug in hybrids" meaning they can be plugged into a charger at home or...

I'm often irked when people repeat phases that sound cool but actually make no sense. One of those is "perception is reality" and another recent one that I see a lot is "two is one and one is none". I guess those people went to a school that taught outcome based education. Anyway, in the case...
