Tesla update - I've got to eat a little crow

[Friday yet?]

Well, I've talked a LOT of smack about Tesla over the years. But it's now been proven to me that the folks running Tesla are smarter than I've given them credit for.

Never let it be said that I won't admit to being wrong.

Love my '15 TC. SWB and a full interior. 1.6l Eco and just put Bilsteins all the way around.

Goes zoom zoom and rides on rails!

Still don't like Teslas or any Prius.

I always wanted to do an ST swap on those, seemed like a stupid good time

I find it slightly hypocritical that a tesla support van is a gas vehicle....

Sure, it is hypocritical for Tesla to have to use a gas-powered Ford as its recovery vehicle. But think of how embarrassing it would be if they used a Tesla EV as their recovery vehicle and it couldn't find a charge...

If only Ford would sell a RHD TC LWB I could get my wife to buy it to replace that crap RHD Wrangler JKU.

I wonder what Ford dealers use for their mobile service vehicles? You know, the ones that come to your location and service your vehicle. Oh wait……. They don’t

not sure where to post this but been a good amount of discussions on EVs, how about the next big thing, EAs (electric airplanes), very sleek design.

Cool!, the new Gemini Battery tech from Our Next Energy Gemini Battery will improve range with less weight, lithium and graphite. They already replaced a Tesla Model 3 battery with theirs and got 670 miles range. Battery Tech will just keep getting better and better, their goal is to get 1000 miles range on a charge.

Very sleek CGI. Actually now that I'm looking at it the tail is uneven...and the jets are asymmetrical? Well you can ride on the EV plane, I'll watch from the ground.

I agree EV's will keep getting better but the mandates are coming NOW. The grid isn't even ready to support a major shift in charging demand. Drop the mandates an let it happen market driven. When they are good enough mandates won't be necessary.

I agree, when I can get 600 miles on a charge I will buy one. It is coming but yes, they need to pace the roll out with increased grid capacity.
