I’ve also seen reports of the Model 3 Plus being registered (if that’s the correct term) with the Chinese govt. Now that is interesting, that is - if they are squeezing a few more kWH into the same frame!

Well I guess rumors are sometimes dead on. Interesting choice, would be a good RT for sure, right?

Huh, just got an email from Tesla announcing this update. Is it being sent out to everyone now?

SO here's my musing of the front bumper camera. (You're welcome ahead of time). Both this camera and the back up camera seem to be designed to show what is directly on the ground in front / behind the car with a fish eye lenses. So the cars and other objects that are at the edges of these lenses...

Nifty stuff! I remember rumblings of a 95kWh battery being tested. I'd happily take another 4% or more in range, there is *no* such thing as enough range. Yet. Maybe 500 miles at the same battery weight :) .

This looks to be something that certainly will hurt Tesla, or to euphemistically phrase it - not help Tesla. Still, Tesla will survive at this point. I wouldn’t doubt that the real effect on the EV world will be to murder the competition which is already not making much or anything on...

I was thinking a few things- ‘You break it you buy it.’ He should fix the damage he caused. There can be an honest debate on how much he did but he certainly did. Second- Maybe a micromanager mentality. Let’s hope he’s not starting to think he can’t trust others to do other jobs. That company is...

That is pretty cool. I’m thinking it was about 15 miles? Maybe a bit more, looks like most of the drive was around 30MPH. Thanks for explaining why the car was allowed (legally) to do this outside the geofenced Austin area, we were wondering which rules apply to such a drive. It is kinda strange...

48? Wow, that's a low number. I wonder how many news outlets will stress that number. Or even report it? I would love to read how that recall came about! Such a tiny number of affected cars, how did this happen and how did Tesla identify 48 cars to fix? Can't wait for the next recall on...

I saw this video elsewhere and the conclusion I came to was - the Tesla was going to pull over into the spot that the UPS driver wanted to back into. Neither had actually taken that spot, both were going into it. The UPS truck had passed the spot which would have had me as a driver thinking I...

There are a few YT channels live streaming rides. I'll wait for finished, edited videos. Fingers crossed nothing interesting :)

The airport stuff COULD be ( I have no idea) that airports charge transport companies to drop customers off there in designated areas. At least for shuttle companies, but possibly for taxis as well. That would be my guess. I'm sure someone with real info on that kind of situation will weigh in...

I guess with model Ys it is ‘prudent’ to have someone in the car‘s driver seat, but strange that you need a remote person as well? Maybe there’s a remote person monitoring multiple vehicles? Also- isn’t 6am to 12am all the way until midnight?

Maybe the 6 seat Y? That would make a decent size Robotaxi. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Huh. So like a mini-van alternative? Wouldn't lengthening the wheelbase mean some 'retooling' on the production line? How about a 100kWh battery :) ?
