[EVDL] EVLN: mini cooper range

Peri,That is good because I doubt you would ever do 8 hours in a city unless you decide to become an Uber or Lyft driver for kicks and tips.  Peri says "I suppose for city driving, it will get more range, but I can't imagine 100 miles of city driving in one day - counting time at stop lights,

Re: [EVDL] Tesla Slipping

It is sad that Tesla has not lived up to their promises to have a $25K car available.  That would be the nails in the coffin for the ICEVs.  I guess they have decided that they would rather make rather than kill ICEVs. Not just a Model X slipping into the sea at a Florida boat launch

Re: [EVDL] Do EVs make green sense?

John,  YOU ROCK dude! That is hardcore. I guess it makes sense though if you are living in a city.  I have been out in the sticks for too long and have gotten used to having to commute. I also totally agree with our Fearful leader/servant Dave when he says - EVs can be zero energy if you have

Mark:  Thanks for this.  I am not sure if it will help.  I agree with you that Tesla should have two or even 3 computers for full self driving.  If one were to glitch out, that is all that is preventing you or many others from being injured or killed.  Tesla has a 5 star safety rating.  So the

I agree with Phil as that would be the easiest fix.  I have a gasser that has a ghost load somewhere.  We bought it with a kill switch so that the battery won't drain.  Now we just have to remember to always throw the kill switch because if we don't we have to replace the battery. Message: 4

Re: [EVDL] Tesla changes

I disagree with the statement below. Tesla is innovating all the time. They have gone from a regular HVAC system to the octovalve system which is much more efficient. They are switching to the mega casting which removes a ton of parts. They also don’t even have model years because they are

Re: [EVDL] tesla now using cameras only

So how do you determine what has priority using both vision and radar? One of the problems Tesla has is phantom breaking. If you use both, You have a situation where one could be saying go and the other says break. Obviously breaking has to override go to be safe. But then the car can break

I agree with Willie.  Tesla is set to take a considerable share of the EV and charging market.    Legacy automakers are screwed.  As far as the "Tippijng point" conversation.  Right now we are in a distruption of the auto market.  There is nothing that can be done to change EVs becoming the
