A new in-depth analysis that draws on responses from over 14,000 vehicle owners projects that Tesla’s Model 3 will have a low rate of depreciation and retain 71% of its value after 50k miles, beating the competition for ‘best-in-classÂ’ title. According to survey data from Autolist, 57% of vehicle owners would purchase an electric vehicle that has range capabilities of over 300 miles. 34% of respondents cited battery range concerns as the primary reason why they would not buy an EV, while only 24% of vehicle owners said cost was a limiting factor.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Ellen Carmody denied efforts by Republican Rep. Jason Sheppard of Lambertville and Republican Sen. Joe Hune of Gregory, to quash subpoenas served on them by Tesla. In June, Tesla had subpoenaed two Michigan lawmakers for their phone records and internal communications, alleging that Republican Senator Joe Hune’s wife works for a firm that lobbies for the Michigan Automobile D…

Chief Operating Officer and SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell recently gave a revealing and fascinating interview with Marie Claire. A historically fashion-focused media outlet, Marie Claire has recently taken to exploring a much broader subset of topics, with a particular affinity towards content that might help empower women both young and old.

This indicates that SpaceX has matured their facilities considerably and opens up more options for the future of …
