Yes, there's a full WebKit-based browser. It does not get disabled so your passenger can interact with it while you're driving. But these are general safety issues that Tesla has let the driver decide for themselves, rather than forcing a d

Roughly 900 people have their cars already and they're up to about 200 per week going on the road. 400 per week by the end of the month. I've only riden in it, but it's a blast. The full torque at any speed is crazy powerful. The amenities

The best part for me is how you start the car. Just get in and put it in drive. You don't turn it on, it does that just be entering the car with the key fob in your pocket. When you're done, put it in park and walk away. It even locks it fo

Coming from reviews by recent owners (of which, I will be one in about a month and a half) and my own test ride, the distraction level is actually very low. At night, the display switches to a white on black interface with a dimmed screen b

Right now they are building the Signature series cars. These are the first 1000 cars. The reservations for these cars involved a $40k payment up front, in some cases up to 3 years ago. General production cars only required a $5k payment up

Tesla's strategy for retail is designed by George Blankenship, who created Apple's retail strategy. As a result, you should expect a similar approach: Stores built out near major population centers first until you have 80-90% of the country

Edit: Rewrote my entire comment... The delay on the app side should only be 15-30 minutes. Use a replication database (much like the Postgres follower system on Heroku) to ensure no loss of data and you should be fine.

I put myself up on there even though I'm based in Atlanta. (I'm a friend of Allan Grant, btw) Any thoughts about telecommuting positions or general remote workers? Are you avoiding those kinds of positions currently?
