I have not seen one climate change denier put their mouth on an exhaust pipe and enjoy all that goodness. I just can’t see anyone arguing for pollution being a good thing even if it didn’t lead to climate change.

Let me help you a bit here. I have taken both the Lightning and my wife's outback on road trips. It is not like I have no bases for comparison. Lightning is definitely more comfortable but as for why I chose outback on this trip; We decided to do a 2000 road trip that includes eight stops a...

‘What was your SOC when this happened? Maybe regen is disabled at high SOC to protect the battery? are the contacts on 12V battery clean and good? what is 12V SOC reading?

That is impressive. I wouldn’t be able to pull that off in Maryland with my Pro. In summer on backroads I regularly go on 140 mile trips and I could get that kinda efficiency but right now with 85% power and heat on,…..no way.

Yup, car shopping before you need one robs you of living life (but I don’t know how to stop).

This is her second Subaru. The first one took us on long trips in snow storms and good weather for 200,000 miles. Doubled as a truck with all the crapped we moved inside and on top. Brakes and a rubber boot were the only unexpected repairs we had, both at over 100K. Neither of which left us...

Didn’t know about buzz. It was going to be wife’s next car. I probably should not admit this in public but we just made a last minute 2000 mile road trip decision and ended up opting for the white’s Subaru. I know we would be fine with Lightning and it would be more comfortable. But the 600...

You are doing better than I did at 20K. Good luck.

Ford is trying to compete with Chinese EVs. Only it is in China. Check out the Ford Bronco EV in China. Ford is partnering with Renault to make EVs in France. Ford understands that they can not ignore EVs. It is just that U.S. May not be the best market for it at this time. On EREV, To be...

is this based on time of the day/day of the week at those locations? or they are set like that all the time? p.s. I agree with you that it will never happen. I think in U.S. EVs will get on the road faster than chargers so congestion at the chargers will likely be more of a problem than...

you can be the yahoo that don’t derate your Lightning to have your mean in peace. I will be the yahoo that does and risk getting fined or an interrupted meal. It is all about the choice. If you look at Tesla Super charger traffic charts, it is a bell curve. The 9 car scenario does not...

You have a point in current conditions we wouldn’t want to turn everyone to a Bolt but theoretically this can be resolved easily by an industry standard. On the handshake and during charging EV could give charger two numbers, desired and max current. Charger could override power when the...

Thanks for sharing this Brian. Especially if you have filtered out the bird emojis. Makes me regret not doing this earlier so we could see folks on Lightning assembly line listening to it. I am glad they liked it.

This is heavy stuff. You gotta consume responsibly so you don't end up throwing up listening to it the next morning.

I was planning to do that in fall when it looked nicer outside but seasons and years zoom by much faster than I expected. But you can do that with AI too. Looking forward to see what you come up with.
