China Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Surveillance Video of Tesla Exploding in Shanghai Parking Lot Goes Viral Tesla is adamant that its cars are significantly less likely to catch fire than your average car, as Reuters reports, but that still hasn’t kept a surveillance video from spreading worldwide, showing a Tesla Model S bursting into flame and all but disappearing, Spinal Tap-style, in a parking garage reportedly in Shanghai. That location is a funny one, as Tesla is gearing up to start making its own cars outside the city, with Gigafactory 3 under construction at the moment.

China Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Of Course Someone Shot a Porn Video in a Tesla Driving on Autopilot It was only a matter of time of course. There’s now a porn video of two people having sex in a Tesla while it was driving on Autopilot. In the video, a man driving a Tesla picks up adult actress Taylor Jackson for a “Tinder date” but about 45 seconds into the rendezvous, the pair decide to have sex in the Tesla. The driver manages to keep a hand on the wheel for some of the initial heavy petting and oral sex, but for much of the three minutes of copulation, the software is in control.

Corcaigh Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Actively looking for a new car at the moment. Very torn about the Tesla 3 or S, but have my heart set on a two-door coupe and $250k for the Roadster seems excessive. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could spend a lot less than $250k and be nearly as close. Congrats on the new car btw. Let us know your initial thoughts once you get it.

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Picked it up today. It is nice. The seats are super comfortable and there is a lot of room. The car is quiet and handles nicely. It has “push you back in your seat” acceleration. I drove from Richmond to the super chargers near my home and in about 10 minutes I gained about 25% of battery. The autopilot is.. interesting and will take a lot of getting used to. How people trust it completely is beyond me. It doesn’t seem like the car slows down for off ramps and while I’m pretty sure the car would make it around a clover loop at 45 mph, I’m certainly not comfortable with taking a curve at those speeds. To me, despite all the talk a truly self driving car is a ways away if the tesla represents the forefront of self driving. Dont get me wrong, it can drive for long distances by itself but interchanges are quite a mess and you’ll have to have a huge set of gonads to let it play out. Having none, I’m not totally convinced. It could be me. The touchscreen is responsive and bright. At nighttime the nightmode is comfortable and not eye strain inducing. A bonus I wasn’t expecting was that the car has live traffic and navigation. I was thinking that you needed the long range version of the car in order to get live traffic, but actually what that gives you is a visualization of the traffic on map and satellite view. I don’t care about seeing a red line on my map, especially if the Tesla is going to route me around it anyway. The space in the car was more than I was expecting, especially the frunk and trunk. Plenty of storage place. All in all my first impressions are the car is great, autopilot needs to earn my trust.

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Just a quick note to anyone considering these, if you buy an aftermarket car cover you need one specific to a tesla. I tried a cheapie one last night that was designed to fit a car teslas size based on measurements but with the charger sticking out it doesn’t wrap around the car enough so it blows around and off... I took it off before it got away, but it will be going back. Its a shame the official tesla one is sold out or I would have bought one of those originally..... I got one from evvanex.com for around $150... Edited May 13, 2019 by CousinsCowgirl84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 What kind of charging outlet do you need at your house? Will a regular plug work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you drive less than 40 miles a day and plug it in every night a normal outlet is doable. That is what I am using now because the larger charger isn’t here yet. With a standard wall outlet you get around 4 miles per hour of charge... so it’s kinda slow. With a 60 amp 240v circuit you get around 37 miles per hour of charge. The charger is $500 and an electrician would charge another $625++ to install it. Luckily I know a guy ^_^. Here is the car after the first wash and wax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster and Starman Have Completed Their First Trip Around the Sun About 18 months ago, SpaceX launched a first-generation Tesla Roadster into orbit with a spacesuit-clad dummy aboard for the ride. Recently, the mannequin passenger—affectionately coined "Starman"—completed his first rotation around the sun and is en route to the end of the universe. Starman began his ascent to the stars in February 2018 as the test payload for SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. He was carefully placed into the driver's seat of company CEO Elon Musk's cherry-red Tesla Roadster and launched into space with the car's radio tuned into David Bowie's 1969 hit, Space Oddity. And so the journey to nowhere began, just a spaceman and his car. Data from the site tracking Starman's whereabouts shows that the Roadster completed its first orbit in one year, six months, and 12 days after it was first launched into space. In total, it has traveled more than 763 million miles at the time of writing and is currently hurtling through space at an astounding 25,749 miles per hour.
