Am I missing something here? Tesla made a profit of $143 million in Q3 2019 alone. Yet Uber still haven't. https://ir.tesla.com/static-files/47313d21-3cac-4f69-9497-d1...

Not only have I have read the original article written by Russ Mitchell mind you (Reuters's version is just a rehash). I also dug more into this and the Twitter thread contains the most factual info instead of speculation.

The Twitter thread that was linked contains factual NHSTA info. "@russ1mitchell of LA Times wrote the article in which he claimed that NHTSA launched investigation into Tesla fires, later changing “investigation” to probe. This is FALS

I always wanted a Tesla ever since the Model S came out in 2012. But have been skeptical since I have not owned an electric vehicle before. Did a ton of research and asked questions from actual owners and ignored the noise from media outlet

0-60 is a much more practical metric as it lets you get away hairy situations and you get to use it everyday. How many times have you drove a car at max speed really? You'd be lying if you tell me all the time. Unless you track it ever

You also get to cry every time you fuel up several times a week. I owned many performance gas cars before. BMW M3, MB C63s and now have a Performance Model 3 that is a joy to drive. The best part? it only cost me $20-30 a month in energy co

Not really... You only mentioned IIHS but the Model 3 has been consistent globally on safety test results (Cherry picking?).. Along with NHSTA and IIS in the U.S. While BMW's crash avoidance systems also failed miserably while the Mode

Your numbers are way off. Where did you get these figures? Citation needed... Model S (most expensive) door handles are $750 and the new revisions fixed this issue (2016+ model years). Or if you're adventurous you can DIY it and buy a

200K miles is nothing. There are a few Tesla Model X/S's used by the Taxi service Tesloop that are 450K+ miles. Tesloop's "eHawk", the 2015 Tesla Model S over 450,000 miles (724,000 km), which is one of the highest

No really an issue at all. You can just use the Tesla parts catalog and call up Tesla to order a part. No middle man like AutoZone that get's a cut of the profit. https://epc.teslamotors.com/#/catalogs

Tesloop released a very interesting review and summary of using "eHawk", the 2015 Tesla Model S over 450,000 miles (724,000 km), which is one of the highest mileages globally. https://www.tesloop.com/blog/2018

The thing is, the Tesla charging standard predates CCS. Tesla has already deployed and invested on many supercharger stations. The CCS consortium instead of adopting it, instead got together and developed CCS. The CCS consortium (composed o

The issue with your examples is that it's almost always an irresponsible customer claiming that the car came to life and "moved on its own" or "accelerated by itself". I'd take an official government report or
