  • Tesla overtakes Mercedes in the brand perception ranking

    The report is here and surprises in some respects: http://www.consumerreports.org/…/index.htm Citation: The brand to watch is Tesla Motors, which jumped from 47 points last year, to fifth position and 88 points this year. Tesla had a strong, very public year, with soaring stock prices, magazine awards,sterling crash-test performance, and even complaining the spot as the top-rated car by Consumer Reports. Innovation, performance, and sleep styling is clearly gaining attention and making a positive impression. By accumulating points in several categories, Tesla had thought that it was possible to raise its overall score. This highlights the value of being at multiple things, racing points in several categories.

  • Updated survey: How satisfied were you with your Tesla in 2014?

    As in previous years, we would like to know how you got through the previous year with your mobile kit. Were you satisfied or were there worries and troubles with your vehicle or the manufacturer’s service?Even if you have already voted in December: In some forums the survey was broken.

Vote in the survey and external praise or criticism as a comment. We have a direct wire to many manufacturers and they read on MOTOR-TALK. That’s why your opinion comes exactly where it should land: at Tesla.

  • Tesla releases all patents

    Wow… Quotation: All Our Patent Are Belong To You Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters. That’s no longer the case. They have been removed, in the spirit of the open source movement, for the advancement of electric vehicle technology. Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of competing electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a maner contract to that goal. Tesla will not initiate patent laws against anyone who is in good faith, what to use … Source: All Our Patent Are Belong To You Yesterday, there was a wall of Tesla patents in the lobby of our Palo Alto headquarters.

  • Foreign parkers on superchargers – what does Tesla do about it?

    What is actually being done against all the foreign parkers at the charging stations?! Does Tesla matter or is this a domestically inadequately regulated legal situation? I don’t want to know anything about the foreign parkers themselves – this can be considered extensively separately social or psychologically…

  • Buying / leasing advice Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Gen.1 (Needed)

    Hello E-community, would like to replace my X5 E70 Diesel (M50d) after 6 years and 125tkm with an electric Porsche. Driving profile fits (mainly short distances 50-70km / day), think so 15-18tkm / year. Why Taycan: Find the part incredibly successful (optical) Why GTS: Interior equipment I find bomb (Alcantara Fan resp. Race Tex) and I think this here the value loss, if you like me buy a used for such 80-85t€, could not be quite so crazily. Why Sp Ort Turismo (Get more in and find it more sporty). Now the question of buying for 85t€, planned to keep 3-4 years. Vs. Leasing via Porsche Zentrum (or there are cheaper alternatives) When leasing, the risk is not with me, but the value loss is priced in. When buying, however, the risk is with me, the loss after 4 years is not as high as the leasing. Is there anything else to consider in the equipment, except the performance battery and the heat pump. lte? Living in the countryside, I don’t think I need the rear axle steering. Would buy private / leasen (no company). Maybe someone has already asked the same question here. Greetings

  • New product line from Tesla, but no car

    Elon Musk has announced a new Tesla product line for April 30, 2015, which is not a car. What could that be?

  • How can we destroy Tesla?

    Hello 1. Let’s just start with the fact that all the real experiences can be reported here, be disheartened. 2. Then all subjective disadvantages (because everyone has to drive 5000km daily without stopping) are presented so exaggeratedly that nobody wants to buy in. 3. If someone dares to write something positive, he is bombarded with senseless statements and related, the first comes back. See here (positive report is immediately torn apart) So we can do a lot of things. Well, no one wants a Tesla. Then we can continue to drive our burners for no reason to worry. Have fun with it. If you didn’t understand that the sarcasm is, I’m sorry, but a spark of truth is already in here.

  • Do Tesla drivers still have a burner as a second vehicle or is the Tesla even the second vehicle

    Hello I come to this question because the following statement is in the room: Quotation: @Mobi Dick wrote on 11 April 2016 at 20:53:14: I thought the just Model S driver no longer have a burner. Please only Model S driver answer and write in the comment how the situation is. Probably here also many will have no Tesla, therefore only with comment.

  • Active Ride chassis and Taycan 4 Sport Limousine

    Hello, Porsche actually says that the Active Ride chassis is intended for all four-wheel versions of the Taycan. However, it is not configurable for the Taycan 4 Sport Limousine. Does anyone know what this is about? And when this should come? Thank you!

  • Taycan FL series battery vs. performance battery Plus recuperation

    Hello, I couldn’t find a clear answer either at Porsche or in the official press releases and hope that someone here knows more. The new performance battery in the FL model is completely different chemically from that of the pre-FL. I would be interested: Is the FL serial battery simply the battery from the pre-FL or is it a similar version of the FL performance battery Plus with lower capacity? What makes me stutzig: The weight underlay d between the two FL batteries is just 5 kg. The higher range and extra power are not decisive for me, but the FL performance battery Plus can recuperate with up to 400 kW instead of 300kW when braking. Can the FL serial battery also? That would be a decisive reason for me to buy it. Thanks in advance for your information!
