Jan 26, 2025 - The Truth About TESLA'S FULL SELF DRIVING (Supervised): Report & Photos by Carl Morrison. After receiving a free month of Full Self-Driving (FSD) from Tesla, our son purchased a year of a monthly $99 subscription for me as a Christmas '23 present. All Tesla's come with Autopilot - Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer. The car, when following another car will slow down or stop when it stops for a light and will continue when the car in front continues. Autosteer keeps you in your lane, off of Botts' Dots on all lines in California. You can tell if a Tesla near you has Autopilot or FSD on when it stays perfectly centered in the lane...no drifting...

Oct 7, 2024 - electrek Michelle Lewis: Here's what to know if you drive an EV and live in Hurricane Milton's path. If you drive an EV and live on Florida's Gulf Coast, you have two choices before the powerful Hurricane Milton arrives - here's what to know: If you drive an EV and decide to stay on the Gulf Coast: Don't park your EV anywhere where there will be standing water. This should be common sense, but there were a lot of cars in water during Hurricane Helene. This equally applies to gas cars too. Cars don't like water, and batteries particularly don't like saltwater. If you're not already in a non-flood zone with... Read More>>

Sep 24, 2023 - Tesla 1,000-mile round trip to ride the Virginia and Truckee Railway: Photos & Text by Carl Morrison. Headquartered in Virginia City, Nevada, the Virginia and Truckee (V&T) Railroad is one of the most famous short lines in the history of the United States, so much so that it uses the service mark 'The Queen of Short Lines'. The railroad operated until 1950 and then was dormant for more than two decades. But in 1972, private owners began the process to reopen V&T as a heritage railroad; and in 1976, trains would resume operating. Shortly thereafter, they acquired a mainstay for the line, Virginia and Truckee #29. The Virginia and Truckee Railroad is a privately owned heritage railroad, headquartered in Virginia City, Nevada. Its private and publicly owned route is 14 miles (23 km) long. When first constructed in the 19th century, it was a commercial freight railroad (reporting mark VT) which was originally built to serve the Comstock Lode mining communities of northwestern Nevada. At its... Read More>>

January 9, 2022 - How Will You Charge Your Tesla?. The least expensive way is to charge at home. The quickest solution is to use your dryer plug, and split it with the SplitVolt (1). This allows you to use your dryer in one of the two plugs on the Split Volt and charge your EV in the other. The SplitVolt has the circuitry to make sure you are not using the dryer at the same time. If you are not using the dryer plug for a dryer, use the dryer outlet on the SplitVolt for a second Tesla. The SplitVolt gives you a readout of how many kilowatts you are using and if you know when you are drying and... Read More>>
