    A Unionized Tesla Workforce Could Benefit All Parties

    Thank you. I support unions, but this post bothered me for many of the reasons you clarified. I think stock is a good idea for the employees to have access to, but not in lieu of cash compensation. It seems that currently Tesla has an attractive compensation package, but to leave control over...

    Starlink IPO

    The irony/absurdity of a hood scoop on an electric vehicle just makes me giggle! I want to see this done.

    Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    The point you make about the emergency vehicle collisions is valid. However, it is not what Monroe's point was about. Mr. Monroe is upset about the focus on Tesla being at fault when everything about these collisions, fires, and deaths are driver related, not the technology. Every last one of...

    Electric Conversions ?

    I have been a stymied fan of EV conversions for over a decade... before Tesla!!! Regardless of the source, it will be much more up front expense than your maintenance costs. Still, if you love the car, the conversion is possible. I know nothing of the East coast, but there is a company in...

    Off-topic: nothing to see here - Tesla Van

    The Grand Caravans that I had when my kids were at home could easily carry full sheets of plywood with the doors shut

    They plan to take-over Tesla

    If by hassle, you mean a scam for Hedge funds to take your money as theirs? yep.

    Want to invest in electric cars? GM could be a better bet than Tesla

    Ford and GM have been using planned obsolescence for decades. I understand they are large and diverse corporations with their own credit companies. But, for them to build an E.V. to rival Tesla, means they will need to build vehicles that last, for a comparable price point. I do not trust...

    Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    It is a matter of perception. This dealership is rather large for our town of 12,000 population. The whole statement validates the "long while". The dealership had a single Mach E, did not promote the Mach E, never put it in their prime advertising spot or close to their main thoroughfare...

    Why some electric car owners return to gas – the reasons aren’t surprising

    Your observation about the dealerships hits close to home where I live. The local Ford dealership had a Mach E for sale on their lot for quite a while. Until someone where I work bought it for a deep discount. There is a lot of issue to unpack with this purchase. But, there was only ONE BEV...

    Toyota Developing Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine

    Has Toyota not heard of Brown's gas?! This is old and backyard technology being presented as an improvement? To what? The P.E.M. fuel cell has a 60% efficiency over the 15 to 20% efficiency of combustion. This is a pathetic waste of time, money, and effort. If they don't start soon they...

    Fiery deaths?

    The owner did not buy FSD, the autopilot was not engaged (the cars are fully connected to Tesla), and had the fire department been trained in putting out an E.V. fire they would not have used WATER. They doused the Lithium battery fire with the one thing that makes the lithium metal EXPLODE...

    This site has affected my thought processes – not necessarily for the better

    funny thing about this. Either will run in a fuel injection system. The combustion will just be inefficient either way and the power will suuuuuuuuck. As for Diesel in a gas engine, there is an "old timer's" trick that uses a gallon of diesel in a full tank of gas as a "top end" lubrication...

    Edmunds: Tesla Model Y versus Shelby GT500

    I agree with some of this. Had an actual race car engineer actually designed the Mustang it could have won that race against a model S, maybe. I am an "old" Ford enthusiast, back before the industry stopped being about their version of strength, capability, longevity, and owner repair, and...

    Edmunds: Tesla Model Y versus Shelby GT500

    I do understand. There are so many industries that rely upon the traditional I.C.E. platform that Tesla keeps embarrassing. Each of these para-industries (my word) stand to lose when Tesla becomes the customer's choice. They keep trying to make the case that I.C.E. is still relevant...

    Nanotechnology Repairs Engine Damage in Cars

    I question any claim that professes to replace the material worn away by friction. I actually understand what is happening inside the cylinders. The friction is from spring steel rings and the physics of liquids (oil). The material is intended to seat/wear into shape against the cylinder wall...

    Edmunds: Tesla Model Y versus Shelby GT500

    With an effective price of $95.5K for the 2020 GT500, why are they comparing it to the model Y? The power, the price, and the passenger count should put it against the roadster or the model S. Even the Model X would be a more appropriate comparison.

    GM to go all EV by 2035

    I agree with you FutureBoy. Everyone seems to forget that electric motors (OLD technology electric motors) are what drives all of the rail trains here in the U.S... because it has an unbeatable torque profile and resiliency. Put new technology BEV into construction equipment and the reliability...
