Tesla Model S isn’t exactly a car that one can rightfully describe as affordable, especially for $70,000. But an article posted by a customer titled How Elon Musk Stole My Car certainly suggests a real frustrating consumer experience. Marty Puranik, CEO of cloud computing firm Atlantic.net was looking at new cars, and was mildly interested in a Model S. He didn’t feel that the car was really worth the full price, but found that Tesla offered “inventory cars” at reduced prices. An inventory car is one used by the company, for test drives, loaners, showroom cars, etc...
It turns out that Google's self-driving cars still need some human help, according to a report filed this week to meet new regulations for the California DMV on autonomous vehicles. The companies developing these vehicles are putting in more test miles than ever before to improve software capabilites and safety levels. Disengagements, and the reasons behind them, are a critical part of the test process. Of the seven self-driving vehicles makers that filed disengagement reports, there were a total of 2,894 disengagements logged during the period. The most disengagements occurred with G...

Tesla is making its electric SUV available to a slightly wider swath of early adopters with the Model X 70D, which starts at a low, low $80,000 (with shipping). Prices, of course, change once you factor in the $7,500 federal tax credit and other state credits.At $80,000, the cheapest Model X, called the 70D, is $5,000 more than the cheapest Model S sedan. The Model X 70D has a range of 220 miles on a single charge and top speed of 140 miles per hour. Deliveries of the basic model begin mid to late 2016, Tesla said.All-wheel drive remains standard, as do those headline-making falcon-wing doors....
We know that electric cars are involved in production, and we know that they’re probably years away from starting the sales. For the past decade, Tesla has creaded the cars of the future: sleekly designed, technically advanced machines that brought with them a vision of how amazing and practical electric cars could be. But now trading as a public company, Tesla is no longer the energetic new kid on the block — and it could be ripe for disruption, if Faraday gets its way. Faraday Future first came into the news last summer when news leaked of its existence and its intention to produ...
