A lot of it is very familiar, just a little bigger. But the X has a nicer interior. The kids love the rear screen. The windshield gives an AMAZING view. Having cooled front seats and a heated steering wheel is nice. It's 0-60 time is almost 1 second lower and you definitely feel the...

Here you go. (Sorry, I don't think my wife wants her face posted randomly without her knowledge.)

Haha, haven't updated this in a while... So, when I got a reservation on the Cybertruck it created more interest in Tesla for me. Which led me to get a Model Y, which our family loved. We drove that thing for 3 years and 55,000 miles. But it made my wife have wandering eyes for the Model X...

I'm sure a lot of you had some interesting experiences with the recent arctic weather. We had one of our own. We were at the Oregon Coast for a long weekend away. We were getting ready to head home (where we still had power) on Sunday so we stopped at the supercharger to top up before heading...

Got the brake light replaced a couple hours before we headed out for a long weekend road trip. Took a leisurely drive down the Oregon coast and into Northern California. About 1,000 miles round trip. A few random thoughts: The supercharger network is worth the hype. I’m a fan of all EVs...

We only plan to own the Y for 2 years. I just don’t see any chance FSD is fully realized within that time. And even if it were complete right now, I don’t know that $8000 for 24 months of use is worth it. It would slightly increase the resale. This brings up an interesting topic. If I buy a...

That’s what I thought too. But I looked closer and you can see subtle differences. The left one is correct. It’s a darker shade of red around the outside. And the inner bulb is a little different. But they are close enough that I would have never noticed if I hadn’t been following my wife...

Let’s talk about quality control! I heard a lot of horror stories before and after picking up my Model Y, so I was pleasantly surprised at how well built my Y turned out. A couple minor panel gaps but nothing worth worrying about. Overall I think it was built better than the Highlander I...

I tend to agree. I'm really curious how much of a step forward the big rewrite will be. FSD needs a massive step forward if it's ever going to be realized. I was listening to the Ride The Lightning podcast today and Ryan made an interesting point. A few years ago Elon talked about a $25k...

Yes indeed!

Took delivery of this today. My first Tesla. Some thoughts on delivery. They have an odd way of filling orders. Every quarter of the calendar is it's own "delivery window." Each quarter they roll out orders by geographical area. Europe first, then other markets, then the east coast, then...

It's been over 5 weeks since we ordered our Model Y. Still no VIN issued for us. When we ordered the estimate said 5-8 weeks. Tesla delivers Model Y's (and other models?) by region and it looks like us folks in the Pacific Northwest are the last region for the quarter. We hope to get it this...

So my family’s plan was probably pretty similar to others. We had decided the Cybertruck was a good option for us. We planned to save up some money and then in 2022 or 2023 when our number came up we would trade in our Highlander and buy the Cybertruck. But I began to run some numbers. With...

I was in grade school and junior high throughout the 80’s. It seems like every year or two a kid would come to school and basically say some genius in Europe had just invented cold fusion. I had to believe it because their uncle told them about it. I fell for it the first few times, but hey...

Thanks. My vote has been cast.

Where is the option if you drive an EV that’s not listed?

Not too surprising that truck sales were not down as much as car sales in April. Businesses that buy trucks were largely still operating in the month and if they needed a truck they needed a truck, virus or not. While most people probably had no reason to buy a car during that time. To me the...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/20/perspectives/saudi-arabia-oil-market/index.html Lost in all the virus news is the oil price wars going on. This is all too complex for me to understand. But if Saudi Arabia controls the oil market it seems that locally produced power is more important than ever.
