Range and Elevation -- nice range on road trip in 2024 rwd
Nice trip this weekend in my 2024 rwd with a LFP battery.
Made a drive from North Atlanta to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Pretty good run - 227 miles, 100% to 14%, 3 hours and 31 minutes of driving.
That is about as much as my bladder can handle these days anyway, so the RWD has plenty of range!!

Hi y'all, I've known Walmart's Supercenter chargers for a while, but only got the chance to try it out recently after I took delivery of my new Model X, because my 2018 MX doesn't support 3rd party DC chargers.
I wanted to share some of my experience:

Chevrolet Bolt (2027+)
As the Chevrolet Bolt 2027 has been launched, and given its announced price, I think it's worth its own thread.
Despite not buying one, I've always has a soft spot for the Bolt. Although GM compromised on the DCFC, it was the cheapest long-range BEV, was reasonably efficient, quick, roomy for the ...
My Very Short Tesla Journey
So here i am for the first time on here very deflated. I purchased a 2104 P85 Model S from a car auction sold as seen 4 weeks ago. The car drove away beautifully and was flagging up a 12V LV fault on the dash. This had been an impulse purchase but as i only paid £5k for the car with free super charg...

I knew I was taking a hit trading in my 2024 M3 LR AWD with less than 7K miles to Tesla, but was shocked at the price on the Tesla inventory listing. Tesla's final offer on the trade was close to Carvana, Carmax, et. al. at the trade in time late Aug. 2025.
Found it in Tesla inventory yesterday lis...
The MY Performance is getting V2L!
Not sure if this is a USA only feature, but Tesla has apparently confirmed bi-directional charging for the MY P.
This should allow V2L and provide some electricity during power cuts!
I’m hoping that Tesla don’t gatekeep this feature to the Performance model only.
