    South Dakota registration??

    A lot of jurisdictions are getting wise and cracking down on this. Most states have a requirement for residents to register vehicle in their state. Also, I’m not sure how insurance companies handle this- could be an issue with some at claim time.

    Range question

    Should be fine. I would think averaging 105mph is probably going to be less than 2mi/kwh… maybe closer to 1.5.

    NACS (Tesla adapter) versus CCS Megathread

    Shouldn’t there be a separate thread for discussion on Elon Musk’s legal history? I don’t see how any of this is remotely related to Ford/GM supercharger access?

    NACS (Tesla adapter) versus CCS Megathread

    I assume this means that 2025 models on will only have NACS ports (so need an adapter for CCS). https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44007957/tesla-musk-ford-farley-ev-superchargers-access/

    Phone Charger works great but phone overheats and shuts down charging

    It’s probably due to limited air circulation and the fact that when CarPlay is running the phone is constantly processing. Hyundai / Kia actually have air vents in their wireless charging pads to help prevent this.

    Lucid set up test drive at a Tesla Supercharger Station

    Why did Lucid park right next to an “out of order” sign?

    First (?) Lucid Fire

    I wonder if this is the car? “Repairable” 😂

    Tesla’s 6th price cut in 2023

    Even if you look at it under the lens of EV market share (which doesn’t seem relevant to me, as EVs are competing with all cars at this point) I can’t comprehend a scenario where Teslas share increases in the coming years.

    That only applies to hybrids unfortunately.

    Tesla’s 6th price cut in 2023

    Their free cash flow is down by 80% since reducing prices. Admittedly FCF was at extortionate levels before. The vast majority of the money they make is from vehicle profits but I guess in theory they could sell the cars at cost and still make a little profit from services. It’s not like game...

    Tesla’s 6th price cut in 2023

    I think you are way overthinking this. If they don’t reduce prices then they are going to be stuck with growing inventory (I don’t think FSD is just around the corner :). Even at current levels I think they are just “fairly” priced, not a particularly good deal and nothing like bargain basement...

    Tesla’s 6th price cut in 2023

    I’m not sure I get the predatory pricing logic. Their prices (and margins) have been absurd for a couple of years. Now they have to drop them to industry average margins to avoid massive inventory pile ups. To me the gouging was what was offensive (not that it wasn’t happening with other...

    New Touring vs Used Grand Touring

    Maybe they’ll throw in free oil changes.

    Sounds suspiciously like a Lucid-Bentley team up

    Rimac has controlling ownership of Bugatti now.
