Guess it depends on what you read and where.

Out of 20,000 electric vehicles that Hertz is selling 607 are Teslas. I can believe that people new to EV who jump in one and go might be more prone to crashing. The foot full on the gas is quite addictive and dangerous when you aren't used to it. Also beat it like you rented it probably...

Fair enough.

Then there is something wrong with his vehicle and he should seek service because that is not normal.

Cars with no or poor battery thermal management systems, like the models you mentioned, are the worst. However in brands where these things are engineered correctly then low temps will be of no concern.

Maybe if you did that in a Bolt or Mach E you might could double your range loss. And dragged an anchor.

Not going to dispute your opinions of EV ownership in Finland because I don't live there but I am going to call BS on your range loss in cold figures. I've owned my Model S for 6 years and have driven many times in -20 weather as I live in a northern state. I've never seen even a 20% loss in...

I think our original question in this line was will legacy survive and not will Tesla be the one to put then under. It's obvious to even this Tesla fanboy that the Chinese will be legacy's undoing. Tesla simply proved that EV were practical, were the future and that people would buy them. When a...

How about this one for the first half of 2023. Does this give you more hope for the legacy manufacturers surviving?

Can’t see that happening especially since the other manufacturers (except the Chinese) are selling their EV at a loss.

NHTSA and NFPA data. Hybrid-powered cars were involved in about 3,475 fires per every 100,000 sold. Gasoline-powered cars, about 1,530. Electric vehicles (EVs) saw just 25 fires per 100,000 sold. Simple math says for every one EV fire there are 61 gas vehicle fires. So the question is: Would...

My favorite is: Ford and GM are going to destroy Tesla. Always makes me chuckle.

Not aerating the wort, or not well enough, would also increase the lag time.

And yet none of that is true in my case or has happened in the 6 years I've owned my Tesla. Guess I'm just lucky.

What the writers of this fairy tale hit piece didn't know about the Model S and X is the emergency manual release mechanism is built into the same door handle you pull to open it normally. The first 1/4" of the throw activates the electric release and then if you continue to pull, it tightens up...

I would reconsider what material bung you are using since different polymers can be drastically different in their oxygen barrier properties. Silicone is actually pretty terrible at slowing the ingress of O2 while Buna-N rubber is a very good barrier. Typically the harder black stoppers are...

You are a nice guy to give ‘em $12 extra. :)

I bet I can find 5 more places to charge that are closer. Sorry to hear about your power situation but the difference in the cost of gas vs electricity for just one year would pay for a lot of electricians and wire. I added the 240 plug in my garage myself and it cost about $200 in materials. I...

There are over 160,000 charging places in the US alone. I never have a problem finding one. If you tell me what state you live in I'll send you a map of every one. The reality is It doesn't take that long to charge at all. I plug in, hit the restroom grab a little snack and am away. It's true...
