Gasoline and oil have ruled the transportation industry for over a hundred years. This hold on the transportation industry I am happy to say is finally coming to end. It’s not going to be tomorrow, this year or even decade but the writing is on the wall. Much like the substance that created oil, it is a relic of the past.
There is a better technology that is starting to evolve quickly and it is the battery electric vehicle. The technology in primitive forms has been around since beginning of the auto industry but was never invested in at scale…
Tesla makes amazing all electric cars and they are arguably the best in the business. If we want the future of transportation to be all electric than it has to be all hands on deck. What does this mean, it means that we need to support all electric vehicles from all of the manufactures, not just Tesla.
Almost every automaker now offers some version of an electric vehicle or EV for short. It might not have the same range as a Tesla or have all of the same features but it is an EV none the less. There are some…
Tesla raised the price again of their full self driving software. It is now $10,000 up from the $8,000. For most people this is a lot of money for something that is in beta.
The promise that Tesla makes is that one day soon you’ll be able to hop in your car and it will drive you from door to door, drop you off and then go park itself. That is an incredible promise and very ambitious task that they have laid out. …
This week Tesla held their battery day event. This was an event that the Tesla faithful have been waiting years for. I was left excited and disappointed.
Most people are addicted to TV and I am one of them. It provides a nice way to relax after a long day at work and it helps me fall asleep. This addiction not only cost me a lot of money but it also caused a lot frustration. It doesn’t have to.
Cable companies have been around for decades and for a long time they were pretty much your only option. Some were able to choose satellite tv but that came with its own challenges and costs. …
If you were to open your wallet, I bet you will see a credit card sitting there, and you would most likely be rewarded for using it. They range from hotel points, airlines miles or cash back. There are plenty of credit cards that give rewards or cash back but I appreciate the simplicity and security that Apple Card provides. Apple’s famous line, “it just works” holds true here. It’s fully integrated into the iPhone via the Apple Wallet and Apple Pay, not a separate app from a third party company. …
I got married to my best friend last year and it only took me 35 years to get there. Everyone meets their spouse in a different way, for me, the love of my life was waiting for me through an online dating app. My younger self would have thought it would have been in person but in the 21st century, love can be found with the click of a mouse.
In my past, I’ve met people through college, friends, or through the bar scene. I enjoyed those relationships, and each one taught me life lessons that have helped shape who…
Climate change can be controversial words in today’s society. If you speak those words you are either met with cynicism or embraced as a friend. I fully believe that climate change is real, and made worse by humans. This is a scientific fact and should not be controversial, but unfortunately, it is. Climate change represents an existential threat to our society and to all societies on this planet. It is something that should be recognized around the world and we should all take steps to mitigate its effects. …
What if you never had to go to a gas station ever again? What if you could wake up everyday with a full tank? Sounds impossible? It’s not, and it’s something you can do today! That is if you are ready to make the transition to driving an electric vehicle (EV) and saying goodbye to gas stations forever.
If you are someone that cares about the environment, enjoys a reduced cost of ownership and improved driving dynamics, then an EV might be the right choice for you. An EV, or also known as a “Battery Electric Vehicle”, does not run…
