I love to travel and I live in an unique part of New South Wales, Australia, called Illawarra. This encompasses the region surround the majestic Lake Illawarra. This is a blog of my travels in my ⚡️ EV, a Tesla Model X 75D as I explore Illawarra. What better way to travel without burning fossil fuel ⛽️

PLEASE HELP WITH THIS IMPORTANT EV RESEARCH PROJECT

Posted on by Tesla in the Gong

I am happy to feature this research questionnaire here in my blog site. I believe that this is an important research project in the EV realm and more people must participate. This is conducted by Awatif Alotaibi of Queensland University of Technology who is doing this as part of their PhD research project on EV Ecosystems.

The following is in their own words.

Quick link to the questionnaire is here

Hi all ,
this survey for Awatif Alotaibi from the Information System School, Queensland University of Technology (QUT).

I’m doing a PhD research project for Electric Vehicle ecosystems. 


In this online survey, we ask questions about your electric vehicle adoption and issues related to services and privacy. Electric vehicle ecosystems loosely couple electric vehicle 
owners, insurers, energy companies, service stations, car dealers, social media groups, transport and main roads departments.
In this study, electric vehicle owners are the main focus and their experience and knowledge of services such as contracts, capabilities 
and warranties, and privacy practices during the use of services such charging, maintenance, roadside assistant or self-driving capabilities.

This survey will take 15-20 minutes.

If you are interested in participating follow this link to the Survey: Take the Survey
Or copy and paste the URL below into your internet browser:

If you have any questions, please contact me via this email: awatif.alotaibi@hdr.qut.edu.au. 

Please note that this study has been approved by the QUT Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number 2000000460).  
Many thanks for your consideration of this request.

STATE OF TESLA PANEL GAPS IN 2021 – DON’T BELIEVE TSLAQ FUD

Posted on by Tesla in the Gong

I’m sure you have more than once heard this word being mentioned in context of the Tesla car.

Panel gaps.

Some print and electronic media, sometimes orchestrated by TSLAQ, go to the extent of calling a Tesla car the worst ever in build quality. But is it really so?

Watch this video as it compare to Tesla and Model 3 made in 2021, one from the Fremont Giga Factory in USA factory and the other from Shanghai Giga factory in China.

SIFTING THROUGH THE FUD – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TESLA AUTOPILOT – 3 PART SERIEs

Posted on by Tesla in the Gong
This is how @Tesla Autopilot really works.
NO…… one CANNOT sleep with Autopilot engaged !!
Autopilot WILL DISENGAGE If one removed the seat belt
I tried to make fun of the absolutely ghastly video by Consumer Report but I could barely control my anger at their absurd video and them giving a clean chit to Cadillac without any test nor proof. Only goes to show how biased media is to Tesla. These journalists have to be ASHAMED of themselves.

Thank you Clean Technica for writing about this absurdity and also featuring my videos.

This video is coz of a recent news that I read of how young man lost his life because he was trapped inside his car as he did not know how to open the door as the car had lost all electric power coming to the car.

Tesla has multi level safety features and if all fails it also has emergency release for easily exiting out of your car.
