[ad_1] The latest software (2019.28.3.1) makes adjustments to the adaptive suspension system, using “dampening algorithms” to better handle speeds over 160 km/h (100mph), as reported by Electrek. That means the feature won’t be of much use to drivers in the US, who are stuck with a maximum allowed speed of up to 85mph. It will […]

Singapore forgoes Tesla’s electric ‘lifestyle’ for buses
[ad_1] “What Elon Musk wants to produce is a lifestyle,” said Masagos Zulkifli, Singapore’s minister for environment and water resources, when asked by Bloomberg about Musk’s comments. “We are not interested in a lifestyle. We are interested in proper solutions that will address climate problems.” Last May, Musk tweeted that Tesla attempted to bring its […]
Tesla delays price hike for self-driving upgrade
[ad_1] The feature has Tesla’s cars automatically navigate toward you in the parking lot. You wouldn’t have to park toward the front of a store just to avoid a lengthy walk. Whether or not Tesla makes that target window isn’t clear. Remember, Musk said in November 2018 that Enhanced Summon was coming in six weeks. […]
Walmart sues Tesla after solar panels catch fire at stores
[ad_1] The big-box chain formally accused Tesla of breach of contract, gross negligence and failure to meet industry standards. It wanted Tesla to not only pay damages related to the first, but to remove its panels from over 240 Walmart stores. We’ve asked Tesla for comment. There’s a good possibility Tesla will fight back, though. […]
SpaceX Starman Roadster completes its first orbit around the Sun
[ad_1] You aren’t about to see Starman drifting through the night sky, unfortunately. Earth is currently on the opposite side of the Sun, and the EV won’t get vaguely close to Earth again until November 5th, 2020, when it’ll be about 0.346AU (just under 32.2 million miles) away. It’ll get much closer to Mars before […]
Tesla’s relaunched solar power efforts include $50 panel rentals
[ad_1] Elon Musk argued that it’s still better to buy. You should still save money versus relying solely on the electrical grid, though. While the gains are only modest in New Jersey (between $20 to $180 per year), you could save as much as $650 per year in California. The biggest cost is choosing to […]
Audi’s E-Tron becomes the first EV to win top safety award
[ad_1] The IIHS pointed to the E-Tron’s ratings in crash evaluations as well as its front crash prevention features as its reasons for recognizing the Audi. In front collision tests, the vehicle was able to avoid a crash at 25 mph and to reduce its speed by 11mph in a 12mph test. The E-Tron also […]
Jaguar woos Tesla owners with $3,000 I-Pace EV discount
[ad_1] To top it all off, you don’t have to trade in your Tesla to take advantage of the promotion. Instead, all Jaguar is asking for is proof of ownership and or registration. The offer is available until September 30th, 2019. Additionally, you can’t combine the zero percent financing option Jaguar has offered since the […]
Mod turns your Tesla into a rolling surveillance system
[ad_1] The Scout’s alerts (sent through IFTTT) are delayed by about a minute due to the time it takes to record video, and you currently have to create your own web server for this to work in the first place. However, it’s also using off-the-shelf hardware and code that doesn’t require tearing your car open. […]
Tesla revives free Supercharging for new Model S and Model X orders
[ad_1] The company didn’t say whether or not there was an expiry date for the free Supercharging offer, although Electrek obtained a memo that didn’t treat it as a limited-time promotion. It’s a notable change of heart, though not completely unexpected. When Tesla ended the incentive, Elon Musk claimed that it was “not really sustainable” […]
