There are no model years as far as Tesla is concerned. As an example, if you look at a Model Y produced during 2020 vs. 2022 you will find a myriad of both software and structural changes. These changes are implemented as soon as they are ready and have nothing to do with year of production. If...
Back in the day, I needed to emergency cool down some old DEC10's as the air conditioning in the room had failed.

Did China's BYD Sell More BEVs Than Tesla In H1 2022? Not Really

My 2019 Leaf started displaying a malfunction code showing the collision avoidance system not working as well as the lane departure warning.
Nissan Canada denied a warranty claim as the three year warranty had expired three weeks before. Luckily my dealer escalated the problem to the regional...

We replaced the SLA in our Electric smart car with a LiFePO4 from China almost a year ago and have had
zero problems with it. I plan to do a preemptive replacement with another one in the...
Hydrogen will never make it a mainstream alternative to BEV's. No infrastructure, mainly a product of Natural Gas refraction as Electrolysis is too expensive, energy efficiency half or less of BEV, and the list goes on...
For some strange reason, lead acid batteries don't seem to do well when used in an E/V environment.
I've seen examples of premature failure(s) when used in Leafs, Teslas, smart cars etc. The best option
appears to be a lifepo4 battery and is what I plan on to replace the lead acid version on our...
