Editor's note: Aside from the points made in the article below, something that I think non-Tesla drivers can't appreciate (until they experience it in a Tesla) is Tesla's navigation system for road trips.

Tesla just rolled out a series of updates to the Model 3 configurator that lowered prices across the board in many countries.

Grey ("midnight silver metallic") and blue ("deep blue metallic") cost $1000 and red costs $... Read More →

Solar geoengineering is a bandaid on the symptoms, not a cure for the causes. It's like putting out the fires caused by an arsonist wandering around with a flamethrower instead of confiscating and shutting off the flamethrower itself. Global heating would slow and stabilize if we stopped forcing more CO2 into the system. But it's unclear if that's as true for oceanic carbon uptake... Read More →

The German plug-in vehicle (PEV) market continued on the right track in June, having registered 8,631 units.
