Consumer Reports took off Tesla from reliability tests because of complaints with charging, noises, and other complaints with the car. It was on top earlier this year from Consumer Reports but since this report came up, Tesla shares went down 10%.
I have recently studied Tesla's marketing and how they have been dubbed as the "Apple Store" of the auto industry. They have been doing very well and shares have been going up for the company. But a nearly maintenance free vehicle, how can you fix it if it breaks down? Can you go to a trusted mechanic? The answer is, nope, they most likely need to be trained by Tesla, how can you get those electric motors fixed?
It'll be a while until electric cars can go to a trusted mechanic, in my opinion, it's more like going to a trusted "electrician".For now I'll stick with Hybrids and Gas engine cars. Tesla is also having charging issues from customer complaints and charging stations are still being made around the country.
Today marks the day that Marty McFly went to the future from 1986. We waited for the Hovr Boards, self-lacing shoes from Nike, and to flying cars. Some came true, some didn't, and remember the Chicago Cubs are supposed to win the World Series today. Here's the preview for the next Back to the Future. Enjoy!
Hey there guys! I'm sorry I've been out last week. I have been out to this yearly event called IMPA (International Motor Press Association) where all the journalists, bloggers, and manufacturers meet to show off and test new cars that are coming out. The drive is beautiful on the way up to Monticello, where you will see these leaves change in the mountains, and the fog every morning.

The moment you drive inside the Monticello Race Track, it is like a paradise for those who love cars and racing. The first day was about local driving with the new cars. The second day was track day with the new cars right after the you get a briefing on how to drive on the track.

I tried going on the off road the first day with Land Rover and it was an amazing experience. The off road track also had an amazing view of the lake where you can also see the foliage.
S63 AMG is priced at $144k and this video went viral sometime last week. It was a gut wrenching video watching this 6 figure car getting smashed up by some angry guy. According to the description the car kept stopping and the dealer provided no replacement or help. So he decided to smash the car up. He should've just given me the car.
