For those that may have missed it, Elon held the Tesla "all-hands" meeting yesterday. It's interesting, but not much tea was spilled.

Happy new year everyone! in the spirit of renewal and fresh starts, let’s begin 2025 by unblocking all the people you’ve blocked over the year. Maybe with fresh eyes and an open heart, we can come together in our common love of the Cybertruck. Of course, I’m counting on all of you to spread...

I cleaned under the Glare Shield today, mostly following the Tesla procedure, not too tough. The first step is to remove the rearview mirror, which most of you have done already lol. I previously bought a set of Torx bits, you need a T20. Then it's just a matter of gently prying away the Beauty...

Does anyone know if the washer fluid is added at the factory, or at the delivery center? Because the stuff I got was gross. Pretty sure it was rubbing alcohol with blue toilet water, it stained my fingers and cleaned poorly. I opted to run the washer pump for 5 minutes until it all pumped...

I found this video on TMC about EV fires, and agree it's really informative. Some highlights:

Courtesy of Tesla Club Sweden. Having heard so much good about petrol cars, we decided to test drive one. They are said to combine cheap price with long range and fast charging. A winning formula on paper – but how are they in real life? We sat us in the loaner car at the car salesman’s...

With my AWD order placed, I've been making inquiries about installation of the Universal Wall Connector and PowerShare Gateway. Most EVSE installers I called had no clue, or outright refused, since they have no experience with Powerwalls. I finally got a response today from a Tesla-Authorized...

In the spirit of love, understanding, and new beginnings, I am unblocking everyone, and I encourage you all to do the same. Maybe with fresh eyes, we can all live together in peace. So Happy New Year! And try not to piss me off
