[ad_1] We’ve asked Tesla for comment. It previously said that it delivered the May update out of an “abundance of caution” and that its EVs were “10 times less likely” to catch fire than gas-powered cars.

Tesla’s Q3 electric car deliveries set another record
[ad_1] And crucially, these are newcomers adding to Tesla’s ranks. Much like in Q2, “nearly all” of the 79,600 Model 3s delivered in the period went to customers who didn’t hold a reservation. That’s a sign of “strong organic demand,” if you ask Tesla. Not everything is rosy. Model S and X deliveries were down […]

Watch Tesla’s record-breaking Laguna Seca lap
[ad_1] In 2016, Musk tweeted that Plaid would be reserved for the upcoming Roadster, so it appears that plans have changed. He explained today in another tweet that the triple motor Plaid setup is “about a year away,” with plans to make it available into the Model S, X and Roadster, but not the cheaper/smaller […]

Tesla suspension update helps Model S and Model X high-speed driving
[ad_1] The latest software (2019.28.3.1) makes adjustments to the adaptive suspension system, using “dampening algorithms” to better handle speeds over 160 km/h (100mph), as reported by Electrek. That means the feature won’t be of much use to drivers in the US, who are stuck with a maximum allowed speed of up to 85mph. It will […]
Tesla delays price hike for self-driving upgrade
[ad_1] The feature has Tesla’s cars automatically navigate toward you in the parking lot. You wouldn’t have to park toward the front of a store just to avoid a lengthy walk. Whether or not Tesla makes that target window isn’t clear. Remember, Musk said in November 2018 that Enhanced Summon was coming in six weeks. […]
Mod turns your Tesla into a rolling surveillance system
[ad_1] The Scout’s alerts (sent through IFTTT) are delayed by about a minute due to the time it takes to record video, and you currently have to create your own web server for this to work in the first place. However, it’s also using off-the-shelf hardware and code that doesn’t require tearing your car open. […]
Tesla revives free Supercharging for new Model S and Model X orders
[ad_1] The company didn’t say whether or not there was an expiry date for the free Supercharging offer, although Electrek obtained a memo that didn’t treat it as a limited-time promotion. It’s a notable change of heart, though not completely unexpected. When Tesla ended the incentive, Elon Musk claimed that it was “not really sustainable” […]
