"Influential US magazine Consumer Reports has declined to recommend Tesla’s Model 3 sedan, saying it braked slower than a full-sized pick-up truck.

The car is seen as crucial to the electric car company’s profitability at a time when it is battling to reverse production shortfalls, confronting reports of crashes involving its vehicles and facing increased scepticism over its finances.

On Twitter, Musk said the fully-loaded Model 3, with all-wheel drive, a dual motor and a 500km range — but excluding its vaunted Autopilot feature — would cost $US78,000 ($103,000)"

That's the actual Consumer Report.
Yes it looks like Tesla need to fix the 3's brakes.
Probably a mad panic now happening hehe, hopefully for them its software or id say a recall soon. Wink Wink

Dum dum DDH does another huge copy of another poster's work and adds 1 line of silly dribbling waffle. Poor soul just cannot help himself he is so jealous of my superior ability.

Hasn't supplied one shred of any relevant new info - just attention seeking stuff.

But now some new relevant info as another Tesla goes up in smoke.

The real problem with the Teslas is that they carry 8 gallons of flammable Ethylen Glycol which is piped through the fragile  radiators at the front of the car.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE Terrifying Tesla video shows electric car inferno that took 35 firefighters to extinguish
By Joe Finnerty, Digital Motors Editor 19th October 2017, 1:54 pmUpdated: 23rd October 2017, 8:32 am

A Tesla Model S caught fire after a car crash in Austria and teams of firefighters battled the blaze. But the lithium ion batteries meant the inferno raged until crews beat the flames and could cut power to the hi-tech motor prompting electric car safety fears.


Video: A BLAZING Tesla has sparked electric car safety fears after firefighters battled to extinguish the inferno.


The Model S was engulfed in flames after its 19-year-old driver crashed into a concrete barrier in Austria.

...
Huge blaze is caused by burning lithium-ion battery in Tesla Model S

And fire crews struggled to put out the billowing flames caused by the lithium-ion batteries.

Toxic gases released by the burning power packs meant firefighters had to wear special breathing kit to tackle the blaze.

And while the driver made it out safely, the Austrian fire service reported it took five fire engines, 35 crew members and two hours to finally get the fire under control.

The terrifying video shows huge plumes of smoke erupting around the wrecked £50,000 plug-in car as the battery is cooled.

The Glycol is HOT so it only needs a spark to ignite it.

The orange flames and black smoke confirm it is a Glycol fire.


The actual Lithium batteries ignite less frequently but when they do they burn with a white hot flame and explode like firecrackers. Dozens of Teslas have burned to a crisp.
Google "Blazing Terdslas" to see them all.
Tesla has been covering this up for years.
Tesla is the ELECTRIC PINTO
Unsafe at any speed. (or voltage)

Dum Duh DDH has done it again copied the poster's work he admires so much and is so jealous of and then added the usual 1 line of irrelevant attention seeking dribble.

Hasn't contributed one shred of useful info as it is just too hard for a Greeny type.

But now the other side of the all electric fire bomb heap nightmare - the overloaded power grid with coal pollution spewing out.

At last the British Govt won't stuff around with renewable rubbish like our local Greeny hounded yokels.




ELECTRIC CAR DREAM Theresa May urged to build 10 more nuclear power plants to get millions of electric cars on the road
By Steve Hawkes, Deputy Political Editor 27th March 2018, 11:07 pm Updated: 27th March 2018, 11:07 pm

PM told to open 10 nuclear power plants in bid to get cars to go electrical by 2050.

THERESA MAY has been urged to fast-track the building of ten nuclear power plants or forget her dream of millions of electric cars on the roads.


Unions said the Government would have to raise electricity supply by 30 gigawatts to get 35 million electric cars by 2050.

Justin Bowden, GMB National Secretary said: “We call on Government and the National Grid to plan and invest now in major infrastructure up- grading and development.”

The National Grid says it could cope with the ban on petrol and diesel cars as early as 2030.

Hopeless case LostSnail has no arguments just a weak as water go at the successful poster that has shown inconvenient all electric heaps are a temporary phenomenon just like 200 years ago.

The pain in the neck all electric heaps will be abandoned as soon as the obvious long term solution hits the streets.

Who wants to muck around waiting half an hour for a refuel and live in eternal worry about getting a flat battery ?

Tesla is basically an iPhone on wheels that is still experimental and has not been fully tested and is downright dangerous really as the many accidents attest.

VW and BMW and Chevy Volt and Leaf will take the mass market until something better comes along - now what might that be ?

Gee you can almost feel LostSnail snarling around the corner.

Elon Musk

@elonmusk

Replying to @ElectrekCo @FredericLambert

Looks like this can be fixed with a firmware update. Will be rolling that out in a few days. With further refinement, we can improve braking distance beyond initial specs. Tesla won’t stop until Model 3 has better braking than any remotely comparable car.
2:07 PM - May 22, 2018

Ok the bad braking on the 3 is a software problem the ABS if seams , so its a free software update and fixed Smiley
No other Car manufacturer can do that Smiley Wink Tongue

So no one else has accidents in fossil fool junkheaps. Only cars with batteries that you can charge-up at home. Keep trying socko Cheesy LOL

Poor old normally ignored LostSnail couldn't argue his way out of a wet paper bag.

Just some FACTS that LostSnail won't be able to understand.

China is going for inconvenient all electric heaps because they have such a pollution problem even tho they are just trading auto pollution for coal power pollution.

In Australia pollution in the cities is not a problem as all the major cities are on the coast and the sea wind blows the pollution away and so there is little incentive for anyone to want to exchange the convenience of petrol and diesel cars for the nightmareishly inconvenient all electric heaps.

Only a few geekish types like LostSnail who like to stuff around with complex all electric heaps are the only likely buyers.

But after they have a crash when their unproven still experimental Tesla death trap suddenly accelerates without warning into a wall or truck they may have a change of mind if they survive and the lithium battery fire bomb doesn't explode.


...
Another Tesla comes to a fiery end in France. 4 wheeled fiery deathtrap ?
