Since Taycan I tested Model 3 Performance and Model S 100P. Both provide similar experience for 0-60. It differs though in a few other areas: 1. When accelerating from 20-60 - it is not the same as 0-60, not even close 2. Anything above 60 mph is anemic Taycan pulls with same heavy force in...

As Taycan EVs become available across the country, I would recommend to visit your local Porsche dealer and take a test drive of Taycan Turbo or Turbo S, so you have a rock solid reference point of what performance EV should feel like. Do not be surprised if you start screaming like a school...

Did you mistype Wagon and meant Wrangler? Jeep Wrangler (especially Rubicon edition) is not SUV - it is All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). SUV is no match to ATV even by a long stretch of imagination. I am looking forward to re-build 2015+ Jeep Wrangler Rubicon! Stock 2006 Rubicon with 80K miles is...

Based on Musk own words - solar bed tonneau would provide with ~15 miles of range daily and solar wind canopy option for camping (also provides shade) would provide up-to 40 miles of range daily. Yes, this pretty much addresses my concern with vampire drain as well. Splendid for me!

As more and more info becomes available. The CyberTruck becomes the best ever offering from Tesla, there is nothing to beat its practicality and solar option makes it "never charge" commuter for me. What else to wish for?

After initial knees jerk reaction - I decided to re-evaluate the Cybertruck offering from Tesla. I concluded - it it the best value Tesla ever offered to buyers. I have no doubt - they priced it way below market value even for ICE trucks, not to mention EV truck that currently floating at the...

What a disaster! The ugliest, useless thing Tesla ever designed :lol:

They replace it, but with used one from salvaged one, so the issue would come back.

The chip is not even worse a few dollars currently. It just shows fundamental stupidity of designers not making it replaceable flash card. You can get 2TB high speed multi-stream flash microSD for $300 today. I doubt there will be many takers in US though, folks just not going to take a risk.

Good thing Aptera founders publicly acknowledged past mistakes and pledged never get this kind of people near the company. Besides, they did not defraud anybody in the past and I doubt it would happen going forward. Production starts mid 2020 and I could not wait to see this great EV car ;)

Your ignorance is showing. Please do some research before posting this uneducated blabber. The cargo space is bigger than in Model 3 and Prius and better arranged. It is not small, The width is same as chunky Model S and length of a Prius. They offer 3 range models 400, 600 and 1000. The crowd...

Except that they do not and claims of 40mi/day is reasonable and achievable as this car only uses 1kWh for 10 miles. It is not difficult to understand it is very possible to harvest 4kWh solar energy during day light from the top surface of a car (bigger area than 4 x 250W medium efficiency...

Aptera just announced availability of solar cells covering the top surfaces as standard option on all cars. It would provide up to 40+ miles/day. For me, it means - I would never ever charge again for commute purposes, as I would have an excess of energy every day to cover any adverse weather...

It is curious to see nobody talks about Tesla and model 3 as it keeps dropping off the discussed topics. I see it as an emerging trend. Is Tesla is getting long in the tooth? One thing for sure Tesla supporters are acting like EV haters in some cases, not sure why? I thought the common goal is...

They have contracts with about 5 biggest EV batteries producers and also went 50/50 with Northvolt new $1B factory in Germany will get online in 23/24 at 16 GWh annually. Hyundai is not very big player and only gets battery from 1 source - LG, but Hyundai already went from #15 to #5 EV...

Yes, it would be a good place. I would suggest to monitor this page - they may add the location, or maybe even send they an email with suggestion for new location. Originally they only planned 4 locations total in US and Canada, now we have many more. I would probably visit DC showing, mostly...

Finally, it looks like EV revolution is about to get started. This is the first true affordable mass production EV on the market with ICE competitive specs. Would be interesting to see US version of ID.4 (cross). VW was able to negotiate battery prices below $100/kWh - this is critical threshold...

Good news for folks interested to experience Polestar 2. They have extended tour in US to many locations, including east coast: https://www.polestar.com/us/road-show?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx8mR2ffG5AIVhZ6zCh1p0gtpEAAYASACEgJbB_D_BwE Seattle The Space Needle San Francisco Pier 35 Los Angeles The...

Can not wait for this fiasco to unravel, hopefully they do not kill anybody while at it. Tesla can not compete, just a few 0-60 jerks and off it goes to limp mode. Fake performance it is. May be their boss "submarine" would have a better chances. Auto Pilot is not really what you think it is...

Initially, they would offer only low end $34K model with 40kWh battery good for 400 miles of EPA range. The efficiency of this car is 100 wh/mile or 10 miles/kWh. 40kWh and 60kWh(600 miles range) models would offer 0-60 in 4 seconds, top model ($59K) with 100kWh battery would offer 1000 miles...
