Both Tesla and Ally-bert thought about magnetism.
Why? WHY DOES IT ACT LIKE IT DO?....

I was thinking of trading my car in a couple of months ago for a new Tesla. I took a test drive and was really impressed. I then rented one for a day and drove it up to Orange County from San Diego. Here are some things I did not like about it.
1. When I put it in autopilot the Tesla would nag me about not keeping both hands on the steering wheel. I like to use just one hand Damn It! It would also keep dropping out a autopilot for some reason. 2. The range of the car is based on if you drive the car at around 60 mph. If you drive at 70 or 75 the range of the car is reduced by about 20%. 3. I found a recharge station (not a Tesla station) and charged the Tesla for about 2 hours and it only added about 20 miles to the range (cost $2). You can use a Tesla recharge station that can fully recharge the car in 20 minutes but there are not the many around. 4. I did like the adaptive cruise control but there are a lot of cars that have that now. 5. I thought the Model 3 was to small and the Model S is just to expensive.

In case anyone cares, the $45k version of the Model 3 is now available. No sign of the $35k version yet.

I thought it was interesting to learn about the amount of Earth destroying emissions generated when actually manufacturing automobiles. (Seems like a lot, to me.) Now I find myself concerned about the total environmental impact of trains. FAX |

Looks like Tesla is going to have some competition.
https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/p...ember-2850462/ Porsche’s newest model, the 2020 all-electric Taycan sedan, will make its showroom debut later this year to an expectant general audience and, likely, a nervous Tesla boardroom. The Taycan has the Model S squarely in its sights, promising a more than competitive range of 310 miles and offering 600 lithium-ion-generated horsepower providing a reported 3.5-seconds-to-60-mph thrust. Other six-figure Tesla challengers are in the works, including Porsche’s sister-company effort, the Audi e-tron GT. |

Since Sentry Mode came out on Tesla's recently, many unknowing vandals have been caught in the act. Tons of videos on youtube now of the Tesla "security footage" of these idiots vandalizing Teslas now

I didn't quite realize how advanced these things are, but a friend of mine said that her brother bought one. It autodrives him to work, drops him off at the entrance, and then goes and finds a parking spot by itself. At the end of the day, he calls it and it comes back from the parking lot to pick him up. That's really cool.

Think how consumers think. Would you buy an iPhone 6 for the same price of of an iPhone X? Both are great products but if you were spending your own $$ you would choose the X. Tesla future is kinda blurry though as they don’t have the history of a manufacturer like Porsche. Also Tesla is not turning a profit and lost 770 million in the 1st quarter this year. I think they just turned their first profit the end of last year (22million). |
