All it takes is a small and purely coincidental and not at all connected but completely independent business deal with Erik, Jr., or Jarrod (did I mention it would be totally coincidental?).

So you do not have to watch a video Jose's instructions : Settings->Data and Privacy ->Precise Location Sharing -> Navigation Toggle off then on (repeat for Driver Assistance features for good measure).

I think this is about right Rivian R2: 9.6 inches (fixed). Jeep Recon EV: 9.1 inches (fixed)*. Audi Q6 e-tron: Up to 9.0 inches (with optional adaptive air suspension). Polestar 3: Up to 8.3 inches (with standard air suspension set to maximum height) Subaru Trailseeker (2026): 8.5 inches...

I've often said that disputing EV myths and bullshit is a full time job. But the same has to be said about the pro-Tesla propaganda too Fixed your typo

It is a little difficult to track. There are three most obvious examples of lying robotaxi (and FSD) videos The "Paint It Black" Promotional Video October 2016 Autonomy Day Demonstration April 2019 Cybercab Reveal at Warner Bros. Studios October 2024 When it comes to staged and faked...

Wow this is all pretty confusing. But I think I've got it. Bear with me while I paraphrase: 1) Elon Musk and Tesla set up fake viral videos to show they had a functioning robo-taxi and have lied repeatedly about it. 2) Some youtube guy I had never heard of until today named Mark Rober (what...

That is pretty funny, had not heard about this. So to summarize: Elon Musk and Tesla set up a fake viral video to show they had a functioning robo-taxi and then this guy set up a fake viral video to show the Teslas would collide without LiDAR? The liar lied about the other liar who was lying...

Not sure it is "absolutely phenomenal." It is middle of the pack.

I am not very optimistic that we're going to get something like the shenxing level charging capability on 800 volt anytime soon much less moving to a BYD1000 volt system! But a combination of 400 KW which the current systems are capable of and ongoing improvements in flattening the charging...

Everyone knows how to do this now. It is just a question of which incremental trade you make. More jellybean gives you and extra 8% or so, stiffer tires buys you ~7% (BMW), less frontal area always wins in real world highway where the derate is very real! IMO incremental efficiency is no longer...

Interesting how tightly everything is clustered on efficiency

Model y would have done better on Efficiency not range. Matt really dislikes the iX3. The only mediocre review I've found but most definitely not a fan. Bjorn loves range and charging but not a fan of rear seat space.

Pretty sure that is why he said it. They cannot afford to have a bunch of launch customers defer.

Thanks. All my contacts sync to the truck (and I can see it on the screen), but the assistant cannot see any of them.

I know RIGHT? I mean that is a deal killer for me. Why are reviewers not talking about this - other than the obvious reason that they are more interested in getting free boondoggles to Spain than telling like it is.
