Considering where they are at now, it was probably as much of a revelation to them as the LS400 to GM when they tore it down in the 80s. History repeats.

Well it took the wind out of the sails of whatever Elon has to say today at the Investor Day event

Looks like Tesla has opened some of their charging locations to non-Tesla EVs with CCS. Is this location close enough to you @AMIRZA786 to test?

It's a little far from SJ, about 25 miles away. I'll wait for one to open up closer to test, or if one opens up on the route between NorCal and SoCal

what are you referring to? a headline on one of the fanboy sites or the obsequious munro channel?

Reported by Automotive news that Toyota bought and took apart a Model Y, that statement came from a Toyota executive, and it was just confirmed publicly live on Tesla Investor Day where they mentioned it (I'm watching live right now). And yes, I really, really want one, but it will have to wait until we return our Ioniq lease later this year

The automatic vertical air suspension integration is pretty neat. But I can see how some people would have a problem with Tesla constantly monitoring where their car is going.

Here is Marques experience charging his R1T in a Tesla supercharging station in NY. There was a Lucid and a Lightning trying the chargers too. It looks like the charging situation will work for us Polestar2 owners because our port is almost at the same location as a Tesla's
