    Rivian didn’t do too bad. Revenue up, costs down, and deliveries up too.

    I got to explore one in SATX. My wife has caused an Amazon driver and is to be best friends. It’s pretty cool. It’s craY the thought of streamlining every step the driver takes to go from seat to door serves a purpose .

    Now I want to see the new usps trucks lol

    I love this Grind Hard Plumbing Company build! It didn’t go very well when they ran it through deep water though…

    Can GM EV's accept fast charging?....because not long ago, that would void your warranty.

    Sounds like something GM would do.
    Didn't they just make a deal with Tesla to use their charging network?

    I think the Tesla MS ranks among the best hwy cruisers out there.

    slick
    smooth (especially on comfort setting)
    fast
    efficient
    quiet
    good looks
    nice stereo
    reliable


    name another EV that compares (hwy driving) with it....excluding other Tesla's. as I'm sure the M3 is right there with it.

    Yes they did - along with several other big OEM's.

    If you can't beat em', join em'.

    I love the fact that even in this twisted market, Tesla still dominates the industry. If it were a true free market, the Big 3 CEO's wouldn't be brave enough to put their own dollars on the line against Tesla.

    On the other hand, it's good to have "competition". Keeps Tesla hungry and prices in check

    CarPlay would slow Tesla down. Technology wise

    I don't know. The vast majority of the time, I cannot go into my playlist and choose the song I want on the Tesla screen (on the small box if you swipe up on the left side or in the Bluetooth menu). Car play would be great in my opinion!

    It would be great. But apples conditions would slow down Tesla progress as far as updates go.

    I use it all the time in my tundra. I love it

    CarPlay would be epic in a Tesla - just add a Tesla Maps app instead and use that instead of Google Maps and you've got the best of both worlds

    Totally, any outside sourced software will hinder Tesla.

    But Tesla needs to get their sh*t together with the music software. Most of the time I go on my phone to select a song.

    you would belly laugh at the way my wife plays music

    she hits the microphone button and ask for a song in the most obscure way…. And it works!

    That’s actually great to know. I never use the voice recognition for anything. I’ll have to give it a try!

    For whatever reason, I decided to adjust the audio levels this morning and noticed each time you slide the first bass notch to the top, you get several different messages
