Woah, this is exciting! Where did you find this??

 

Based on rough calculations, you paid about .26 cents per kWh travelling using Fast Charging and .11 cents per kWh when charging from home

 

Here's my home charging of two EV'S over the last 30 days:


At 0.14 cents per kWh, I spent $86.66. If you round it off, $90. Mostly my son, he drives the Ioniq which has a smaller battery (38 kWh) so he has to plug it in every night. I charge about every 5 days or so

 

I was reading about the fatal Tesla crash on I-680 in CA. What do you Tesla folks think about the possible cause for this accident? Of course driver is always part of it. But could it be self driving or is it not possible? Some say self driving would slow down. Or is it a SW glitch?

 

I’d guess the driver wasn’t paying attention like they should have been. They trusted the system too much, became inattentive and distracted, the car encountered a scenario it didn’t know how to respond to and well… you know how it ended.

 

Well we know how it unfortunately ended, but we don’t yet have details on the cause. So still TBD if it was driver error, software error, some other unfortunate combination of circumstances or something else. One thing we do know is that if it were (almost) any other make of car then this incident would barely make the news (albeit there has been noise related to Tesla and emergency vehicles, but no confirmation I’m aware of that the normalized incidence of such cases is greater with Tesla than it is with other makes). Because it’s a Tesla, however, the software is almost always presumed guilty until found innocent.

 

quoted for truth. Every article about this crash automatically mentions the recent FSD "recall" even before they know about the actual cause of accident. shameful journalism.

 

Same question posed and it's valid but other cars do not have full autopilot so it's driver's fault, end of discussion. No? Does this car have pre collision warning/interfering?

 

I like this argument.

 

I drive the 680 regularly, and this freeway is notorious for people driving crazy, especially in the early hours. People drive drunk, race, and generally drive nuts. There are accidents and fatalities almost every weekend. Everything from Honda Civics to Dodge Chargers to Toyota Camrys. One Tesla and it's suddenly news. Although we don't know the cause, like the driver could have been drunk.

Although Tesla's do have safety software and pre collision that aids in preventing accidents, there is no software that can protect against stupid

 

Today my daughter and I were walking the dog in the neighborhood, and I noticed the number of brand new Model Y's in our neighbor's driveways. Counted at least six in the immediate area with the temp license plates. One of my neighbors was outside doing some gardening and he told me he recently sold his 2021 X5 shortly after getting delivery of his Y. We also saw a lot of Y's driving by. I'm just seeing these things pop up everywhere!

 

The possibilities are endless. Could it have been a software issue? Sure. Could it be a damaged tire? Excessibe speed? Impairment? What about road conditions? Combination of factors? Hopefully we will find out.
The car hit a fire truck; drivers are advised to slow when approaching a fire truck. Sounds like this did not happen. There is no more local news at this time.

 

Oh, so a 3 Series and C-Class can also be compared to a Camry then.

 

The big brained gubbermint geniuses are now forcing Tesla to never go over the speed limit this is going to cause so much road rage. They've already been forced to not do rolling stops which everyone does. That is going to cause accidents.

 

you're so in favor of tesla, why shouldn't their 'big brained' vehicles obey traffic laws?
