Musk never gives up.... MrEnergyCzar

This morning was a productive commute, assuming one wishes to spot various EVs/EREVs on the road. Pulling out of my condo complex, I got behind a gray Volt (with an USC license plate frame). Further down the road I see a Model S a couple of lanes over (see image below). Then I passed, from the...

Here is an interesting concept. Would you "pre-pay" for a replacement Volt battery??? I for one would not. I cannot wait to see how this one plays out. http://gas2.org/2012/12/17/tesla-gambles-your-money-on-future-battery-prices/

Front page of Jalopnik this morning: Tesla Motors Devastating Design Problem If this becomes front page news on mainstream media websites or Fox picks it up, it's bad news for all cars that use electricity. I know the Volt doesn't have this problem but the news media paints with a very wide...

Hello all, I've just read an article in EV World about Tesla's Roadster BRICK problem ... meaning that if you leave it unplugged for a long period of time, the batteries get totally discharged and get totally dead. The only solution is to replace the batteries at a cost of 40 000$ and NOT...

I had a chance to visit local Tesla dealer this past weekend, and I was briefed about the upcoming Model S. Besides the normal material you would find on the web, Model S also features fast charge which allows the battery get 90% juiced up in 45 minutes, and the battery is "swap-able" if...
