I just spent three 10 hour days driving 1500 miles from Utah to Wisconsin in my long-range Tesla Model 3. With two heavy mountain e-bikes destroying my aerodynamics (see Figure 1), my easy range for 75 mph driving was not much more than 100 miles. Fortunately, Tesla has installed 15 wonderful Superchargers at intervals of […]

That’s why Ross bought his Polestar 2. Of course, it isn’t just like a normal car. He meant that it’s an easier transition from a fossil fuel car because the dash and layout is similar. You climb into the driver’s seat and the controls are familiar. It even has a traditional gearstick. The new owner […]

Back in November 2019, I wrote about my choice to replace the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 originally fittet on my Tesla Model 3 with all-season Michelin CrossClimate+ tyres (I recommend reading that article to learn more about my choice of tyre size etc.). After 30 months and 85,000 km (53,000 miles), these tires were ripe […]

I may have had a one-of-a-kind issue with my Tesla Model 3 at nearly 25,000 miles. Perhaps others have had this issue, but I didn’t find it on forums and the Tesla Service tech I spoke to hadn’t seen the problem before. The problem, as you can see in the pic above and pics and […]

That’s what the service technician said when he arrived at my house to do the requested end-of-warranty check. I was concerned that after leaving warranty something might go wrong and I would end up with a big bill (been there, done that, with other vehicles). So, I thought the quoted AUD$200 was a small price […]

Kia’s reputation in America has been an interesting one. A couple of decades ago, many people saw the brand as supplying cheap, unreliable Korean imports. Its reputation has improved over the years, as have its sales, but it has remained a brand of somewhat plain, basic cars. Though the company expanded its lineup to be […]

I’ve driven […]

“I love Teslas,” says Graeme, owner of Oz-DIY Electric Vehicles, “they make great spare parts!” Graeme knows a lot about cars, both fossil fueled cars (ICE cars) and EV. He was the chairman of Australian Electric Vehicles Association Queensland for 7 years. Wandering around his workshop, I see a multitude of cars in various stages […]
