I thought politics was off the menu here. Is Fox (left) any worse than CNN, MSNBC (right) the View (farther right) Hollywood (over the edge right). Not condoning but where is the center. I miss you Walter.

LOL, Why use nine letters when 13 will do. "Oh scheisse! I stepped on a schmetterling!" My E500 was a wonderful car for the first four years. The last four years and it was no longer a schmetterling but a steaming pile of scheisse. Melding Tesla culture with old school thinking seems impossible...

"The man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. I sir, am that fool"- Gomez Adams. Apparently, so am I. At 14,000 tow rating, I will be testing it to the edge. Understandably I don't expect the range or even one third but that is all I will need. I don't travel more than eighty...

90 to 110 Terawatt hours were required in mining crypto currency last year. The total U.S. EV consumption was estimated at 80 TWh. Just an observation. Foolish that so much is wasted on a fragile and intangible currency. Maybe I've read to many fiction novels. I understand that fortunes have...

Cute, I wonder if it will fit in the back of a CT. Who needs a spare tire.

The Big Block in question is around seventy years old with some updated manufacturing that required minimal r&d. My 65 Chevy gets better mileage than my Mini. GM engineers were pretty good back in the day but has always had a reputation of being hobbled by management. Things are changing and I...

Who funded the cost per mile studies? And what other studies were used as comparisons? I see some pretty obscure research data like an average charge away from home at 40% and the cost of lost wages while charging are included in operation cost. "Figures lie and liars figure". AEG must be one...

I hate it when threads go so far off the rails. Focus people! I really like all you people even though I do not always agree. Could we focus on the topic that some ass hat was selected as the new (Autopilot) Tesla bully? No one felt that her appointment would be bias even though she owns nearly...

(My last response, I promise) Some pensions are not directly related to the amount invested nor are they static. Oregon Pers (Now modified) has an annual inflation based cost of living increase and medical. Some pensions are like Ponzi schemes (Engineers Union) that are depleted by the earlier...

You live in one. Research pers pension depleting Oregon budget. Retirees enjoy a very good standard of living. My late father was a retired firefighter for Portland under that same pension. Teaching, as with any profession such as automobile manufacturing will have good and bad. Do unions help...

The topic is Unionizing Tesla. I'm not sure why you bring up commensurate compensation but if you research union pensions bankrupting states it displays how things get out of hand. I happen to like cherries but I don't know if I would consider myself a gish or gallop. Buffoon maybe. Somedays a...

The author of this article is either nucking futz or enjoys certain benefits. As a retired union worker I have no love lost. A union worker only has to show up on time and do the bare minimum to keep their job. A mantra I have heard many times is "Who cares, I get paid by the hour. I'm...

One idiot complaining that someone is too successful should be ignored and I am now breaking my own rule. Now spent two minutes in a paradox over whether to hit the post reply button and lost.

Lately on the subject of the Cybertruck Tesla/Elon has been quiet... Too Quiet. Throw us a frik'n bone here people!

A "Jake" or compression brake reduces exhaust valve travel to create drag and reduce speed. Direct drive or manual transmission driven by motor or engine will turn in correlation with vehicle speed. If traveling down hill, gravity forces forward momentum. Instead of wasting the energy through...
