    Tesla AutoPilot runs over and kills motorcycle rider

    This has been a big issue with the American Motorcycle Association I loosely have followed it since I get the magazine, but they are proactive in Washington with motorcycle related issues and they have a big problem with autonomous and self driving vehicles being able to sense motorcycle...

    Since this is an exclusive who knows? Im sure it is. It's simply a sign of the times. China does it cheaper and Tesla backing off at least so far. Not that this is the reason but the stock taking yet another hit. Heck it only has to go up 125% to get NEAR its all time high as of today...

First 36 hours of the SU7 car has 120,000 firm orders and production is now sold out for the year per Fortune Magazine. Car is only available in China right now. I could be wrong, but I...

    Effects of T-Mobile Cell Data on Distance From Cell Tower

    This can be for any cell provider and why it's impossible to compare experiences around the country. Its location, location, location. Also why some will trash cell based home internet service and others will praise it. The same example goes for cell service. I live in a large community, miles...

    Tesla fire closes down highway for 3 hours.

    Hey, Not intended to start wild debate. I thought an interesting read of what the fire departments had to do to put it out. We have to admit it takes far more resources at the same time the article (I'm not looking to verify stats gasoline fires are more common but a bear to get a lithium fire...

    Title says it all GM restarted Blazer EV sales, Models start at $50,195 they are also cutting the price $6,520. Im not sure but this maybe limited to the stock already produced, need clarity on that. But for right now, $6,520 price reduction and it qualifies for the $7,500 taxpayer credit =...

    Apple cancels EV development

    Another sign of the times. Another realization. My thoughts? People/companies are realizing an EV is just another vehicle to get from point A to Point B It’s just a car as has been for 100+ years. Somehow they thought is was more. But why? Glad to see Apple finding its way and concentrating on...

    Back on the moon, LUNR did it, Stock price up after hours over 40%

    First time a private company landed on the moon. NASA paid 111 Million to do the job. Understandably the company that pulled it off is ecstatic and the stock price this evening is up 40% at 7:30PM Thursday. I can bet there are many happy employees over that too. But that can change in a second...

    You can now pre-order the 500e on the Fiat website. I know the ice version was a dog. It will be interesting to see how the EV fares. Also states it’s eligible for the $7500? One thing for sure you won’t be driving too far in it. https://www.fiatusa.com/500e-reveal.html

    Those who have new Bolt EVs (if any), how much is the true cost of a used Bolt?

    Ok, so here is the car. Because it is not new, no $7,500 but I assume still get $4,500 However if bought new GM pays installation of a 40 Amp plug, since not new I would have to pay. Hertz cars are not cheap. With the $4,500 this car would only be $18,200 plus the cost of a 40 amp outlet (or...

    Actual Tesla CyberTruck Towing Test in Cold Weather

    Great video, cold weather, range limited but like the Model 3 the vehicle indicates it has much more range until it doesnt. Its a truck for sure and why I dont agree with the "off roading" thread comparing it to a Subaru? Let's face it, can a Subaru tow 11,000 Lbs? I think this is well balanced...

    Salt Water and Lithium Batteries

    Not to fan the fire but in these threads we do see discussions on tow ratings and I have seen posts and videos posted in here, even got in debates on how Tesla's can tow much more than their tow rating. My point with that is it is dangerous to ignore the tow rating limits manufacturers place on...

    Tesla Christmas Road Trip - Battery needed frequent re-charging - Range Estimates were 50% to 69% off

    This is horrible, I didnt know it could be so bad. 50 to 69% less than mileage the car estimated. Reporter stated re-charge costs were as much as gasoline. But forget that, took the trip an enormous more amount of time vs a vehicle with the ICE

    For those well rehearsed in Home Solar Energy ... cutting out the middleman?

    Ok, I would like/love to have this site critiqued. I am seeing more and more of these ads directed to me on social media. Im not actively looking for solar, unless it was going to be fully paid by the taxpayers and I always felt the solar sales industry was the prime benefactor of taxpayer...

    EV manufacturers multiplying like rabbits now companies known for making cell phones are planning them.

    Long ago in these threads I likened to maybe one day EV's will be more like disposable lighters or dare I say flat screen TV's? Being EVs are mostly electronic now, no longer relying on the ICE I can see a day possibly that manufactures (or at least the small ones) will for example stop...
