    First EV road trip

    I'm on vacation in Corpus Christi, Texas right now and drove from northeastern Nebraska in my Model 3. The charging was quick and easy because I used the navigation and the car planned all the charging stops and charging durations along the way. The planning was right on for this 19 hour...

    Jalopnik: EV Maintenance and Ownership Isn't Everything It's Cracked Up to Be

    My Model 3 is just about to turn 5 years old and currently has 105,500 miles. In 3 years it will likely be at around 200,000 miles. I wouldn't buy any other EV besides a Tesla, and would definitely never go back to ICE. I've only had a few minor service items on my Model 3 that were covered...

    Arcimoto shuts down factory, stock plunges as it warns of bankruptcy

    Well, it looks like Aptera will be including DC Fast Charging on their Launch Edition vehicles after all! 40-60kW (will depend on testing and validation), so that is something good that it will have that Arcimoto didn't

    Arcimoto shuts down factory, stock plunges as it warns of bankruptcy

    I don't think Aptera will have the same fate. I have one reserved, even though I'm not sure I will end up getting it. I would never buy the Arcimoto because I see it as an expensive toy for a lifestyle that I'm not into. The Aptera, on the other hand, is a practical commuter vehicle. I drive...

    Will USA bill enable TSLA to build its own “chips”?

    No, Tesla has said they are not interested in making chips. It's not cheap nor easy to do so. What Tesla will do is reduce the amount of chips and consolidate functionality into less chips, even if it requires custom ones. Tesla does not shy away from that, unlike other automakers that want...

    FSD Transfer Confusion.

    Two possible reasons why it doesn't have FSD: 1. You said it was sold through auction. There are cases where Tesla will sell a car traded back to them or returned from lease to a reseller that seems at auction. The terms could be that FSD is not included in the transfer. 2. The car could...

    FSD Transfer Confusion.

    FSD stays with the car in a private sale, just like any other option. I'm surprised that Zack and Jessie would get that wrong. I haven't seen any of their videos in a few years, but they always struck me as pretty knowledgeable about Tesla stuff. Here are 3 scenarios I know of where FSD...

    LED Failure?

    Across the full length of the rear window? I've never noticed it being that big. Sometimes LEDs fail. I've seen multiple newer cars that aren't more than 3-5 years old with LED driving lights or signature lights that are burned out. I've had a few aftermarket puddle lights burn out for my...

    LED Failure?

    Just for people who might not know, that light bar is not OEM. It's an aftermarket accessory installed by somebody. Some aftermarket LED lights come with a resistor that you can install in series them to reduce the current going through the LEDs. This is because if the circuit isn't designed...

    DAily Caller: Are Electric Vehicles A Scam?

    A lot of the things that are wrong or don't apply to everybody have been covered by other commenters already, but just wanted to mention one of them "Charging an EV is also more expensive than filling up a gas car, costing $12.95 per 100 miles compared to the $8.58 per 100 miles it costs to...

    Alpha Motors EV

    I like the Alpha Ace and it would be a perfect commuter vehicle for me. I'm wondering if it's stainless steel, or just silver paint. It's the possibility of stainless steel that I'm enamored with. Edit: just saw from their press release that the silver is just paint ?

    CATL to supply batteries for Trailer Dynamics electric semi-trailer

    The only drawback to this is the added weight from the battery pack, motors, and electronics in the trailer. That reduces payload capacity by a little bit in order to stay within road legal limits. From my math, just the 300 kWh battery pack weighs around 2000 kg (4400 lbs). Add in a little...
