My 2018 Model 3 LR AWD has a range of 310 miles. That Bolt is not really competing with current Tesla models. I’m all for more EVs, but find it disheartening to know that in 2019 and 2020, existing manufacturers are barely competing with th

Yes and manual transmission or commercial trucks use this to "engine brake".

Very very true, but my point is that we've done about a dozen road trips now and the initial range anxiety we had has gone away. Per https://supercharge.info/changes , Tesla opened, on average, 16 new superchargers in A

The Tesla Model Y and Model X both have 7 seater options. It wouldn't be as big as a minivan, but it does seat 7.

Does it have a range more than 234? The 2012 Model S had a range of 265 miles. One of the biggest problems for most people about EV adoption is range. No one really beats Tesla on this datapoint just yet. Not Jaguar, not VW, not Mercedes, a

You can literally hit the tactile knob on the right of the steering wheel and say, "Turn the heat up to 65" and it will do this. You can say this while keeping your eyes on the road. You can turn up the volume with the left tactil

Germany has some of the strongest labor unions in the western world. I'd not be surprised if the answer is in fact, yes.

Radio spectrum is regulated by virtually every country on their own land. As a result, companies wanting to beam data into / out of each country have to work with local regulators for legal access. This means working with the Chinese

I think it is the little things. One of my family members drove up to see me recently and I let them park in my garage. I was blown away when I walked into the garage with the smell of oil and gas. Granted, their car is an early 90s corolla

Kentucky has been transitioning to natgas for some time now. The TVA shut down three big coal plants and another big utility also shut down a big coal plant last year. They’re not building new coal plants but natgas plants. That’s not going

But the overall maintenance is going to cost much more on a well maintained engine. Oil changes, fan belts, flywheels, spark plugs, alternators, starters, etc don't exist in an EV. These are all components I have paid to have replaced

My dad pays $0.08 / kWh for electricity in Kentucky. San Francisco has very expensive electricity compared to much of the country. The average US electric rate is $0.12 / kWh for reference.

And the double whammy that those ICE manufacturers are having to purchase carbon credits from EV manufacturers like Tesla. https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-sold-carbon-emissions-...

Elon has explicitly stated in interviews that one of the benefits of the design is that here on earth, it means they can be carbon neutral. I'm just relaying what he's publicly stated already. Yes, Mars ISRU is a HUGE benefit of t

Methane can be created via carbon capture entirely. It is in the SpaceX TODO list to create a factory to literally create metholox (methane + liquid oxygen is what they use as fuel for the new Starship / Superheavy rockets they want to

Musk has been excessively clear the goal of Starlink is to allow SpaceX to self-fund a manned mars mission. You're welcome to downvote all you want, but this does not negate the fact Musk has directly said this (in several interviews).
