Within what seems like no time at all, several 12–24 stall Tesla Superchargers have come online in Denmark. They come up so fast that they appear on site before any announcements on either local news or Tesla’s own website — or even the maps in Tesla cars are aware of them! New Tesla Supercharger: Kliplev, […]
Giant Parts Of 9,000-Ton Tesla Cybertruck Giga Press Arrive At Giga Texas
As we reported in October of 2022, IDRA had started shipping the humongous 9000-ton Cybertruck Giga Casting machine from its plant in Italy to the United States. Now, just yesterday, two semi trucks loaded with huge containers on their trailers were spotted at Giga Texas. Since this 9000-ton Giga Press is the world’s largest die-casting […]
Tesla Claimed Cybertruck Could Pull “Near Infinite Mass” — What Does That Even Mean?
A few days ago, I saw that automotive media outlets found something really awful on Tesla’s Cybertruck page. Most manufacturers give you a tow rating and use that in their advertising claims, but Tesla went the extra Cybermile and claimed that its vehicle can pull “near infinite mass.” I checked for myself, and not only […]
Deep Dive On The Tesla Semi’s Numbers
I’m not going to lie, I’m not big on math. I did okay in high school and college in math classes, but I didn’t pursue a science, engineering, or other technical degree. So, I’m probably not the person to go to if you want a deep look at the numbers behind a clean technology. But […]
Don’t Blame Congress For Tax Credit Limits. Blame Tesla For Its Expensive EVs
There’s something that’s been bugging me the last couple of days on social media. I don’t mean bugging me a little. I also don’t mean bugging me like Steve Urkel bugs Carl Winslow on Family Matters (in other words, a lot). It’s more like those annoying street preachers who call people to repentance with megaphones […]
Sandy Munro: The Coming Wave of Chinese EVs
In this final piece in a series on Sandy Munro’s Q&A at TeslaCon Florida, I’m highlighting a section of the Q&A where he talked about the coming wave of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). He was asked, “You mentioned by 2030, one-third of the cars in the market will probably be Chinese. So, what do you […]
2024 Tesla Next-Generation Vehicle Should Sell For $12,500 After US Tax Credit
Why Tesla’s Next-Generation Vehicle Won’t Be $30,000 Below, I explain why the next generation Tesla will be much less expensive than expected and how Tesla can do this. We know Tesla sells the Model 3 for under $40,000 in China today, and it has a project code named Highland to reduce Model 3 costs further […]
The Lucid Sapphire Races Against The Plaid, A Bugatti Chiron, & A Racing Motorcycle
A recent video over at Hagerty’s YouTube channel shared a race between not only the fastest EV sedans, but the fastest gas-powered car and a motorcycle to boot. I don’t know for sure, but the video appears to have been shot near Lucid’s Casa Grande plant (south of Phoenix, Arizona). The Contenders Wherever it is, […]
Tesla Shifting Into Lucrative Video Game Industry
Tesla has launched a beta of the gaming platform Steam in Model S and X vehicles, and some are pointing out how undervalued the shift into video games could be. As Tesla continues developing its Full Self-Driving package over the next few decades, gaming in your car could be set to become a lot more […]
