Tesla Model 3 In Canada is cheaper than a Honda Accord, Civic Hybrid and Camry SE Hybrid. Even Cheaper in Québec

A 10-year French experiment just showed that farming without pesticides is actually possible. INRAE (France’s national agriculture research institute) ran nine different pesticide-free cropping systems across real farms — mixing long rotations, cover crops, biodiversity, and smart soil management. The results? In many cases, yields were close to (or even matched) conventional systems, and some were economically viable with the right marketing and crop diversity. It wasn’t perfect — weeds were a challenge in some spots — but it proves pesticide-free isn’t just a dream. It’s technically and economically doable under the right conditions. This is encouraging. We keep hearing that we have to choose between food production and protecting the environment, but studies like this show there might be smarter paths forward. If we can grow food with far fewer chemicals while keeping farms profitable, it could be a game-changer for soil health, biodiversity, water quality, and long-term food security. What do you think — could we realistically move toward much lower-pesticide farming at scale, or are there too many obstacles?

Driving ICE car after owning Tesla for over 9 years feel like I just gave up my iPhone for a flip phone. Everything from navigation in 2026 ICE car (Mercedes) to the need to start and lock my car as I walk away.

How come a cybertruck is the first truck with a secured vault tonneau cover instead of a soft cover tonneau with clips? I know hard tonneau covers exist but it’s not the same as a locked vault tonneau on a cybertruck. Everything just thought out better by Elon & Tesla engineers

Freaking 10 Billon miles!

@niccruzpatane 28 bags of soil and I have lots of room to spare. Love my cybertruck

You will not know how good you got it until you have something to compare it to. I miss my Teslas. I am in Europe and have a new Mercedes as a rental with 10 km on it. I feel that I have to relearn driving ICE cars. Everything is not as good as Tesla. They really nailed it - from screen and navigation to simply locking/unlocking your car. I have to remember to turn it on and off, cameras to see everything around me just not good in Ice. Just everything is so much better in my 2018 or 2024 Tesla. Cybertruck is whole other level all together, but even my 2018 model 3 is way more superior. People still have no idea what they can have and where technology stands. The gap is unreal!

That’s a great deal for Canada 🇨🇦. Model 3 is more affordable then many thinks. You can easily spend 400-500 a months on gas alone, never mind car payment on top of that. Why choose gas and depend on gas prices when you can get a model 3 and charge every day at home?

Tesla has launched a new Model 3 lineup in Canada, introducing the Model 3 Premium RWD starting at $39,490 CAD (that converts to just $29,000 USD!). Tesla has also cut the Model 3 Performance price by 17% to $74,990 CAD (from $89,990). The Model 3 Premium RWD trim is about 50% cheaper than the previously lowest-priced Model 3 Long Range ($79,990 CAD) in Canada, which has just been discontinued. The price to get into a Tesla just got a lot more affordable in Canada!

You don't have to spend $75 on a bee hotel to help the bees. Drill holes in a log. That's it. Most native bees don't live in hives. They're solitary, and about 30% of them nest in cavities like old beetle burrows, hollow stems, and gaps in dead wood. A piece of untreated hardwood with holes drilled into it gives mason bees, leafcutters, and small carpenter bees somewhere to lay eggs. The specs that matter: - Use untreated hardwood (oak, maple, birch). - Avoid pine and treated lumber. - Drill holes 5 to 8 inches deep. - Mix hole diameters from 3 to 10 millimeters. Different bee species use different sizes, and a variety supports more diversity. - Drill into the side of the log, not the end grain. End-grain holes split as the wood dries. - Mount it 3 to 6 feet off the ground, facing southeast so it warms in the morning sun. Under an eave or overhang protects it from rain. The store-bought bee hotels mostly fail because the tubes are glued in (can't be cleaned), too shallow (males only), or made of bamboo (rots). A drilled log skips all of that. The bees don't care that you didn't buy something. They care that the holes are deep, dry, and the right size.

Alright, I got to Italy and went to pick up my Tesla. They telling me I can’t charge at “so called, Tesla supercharger and I can’t use Tesla app with my rental. They recommend I use normal Shell chargers?? Wtf, so all conveniences of Tesla are removed my Europecar. No idea where I will charge and how convenient will it be??? So I had to bail and rent gas car instead. What a joke. They also told me there is no way of making it convenient as a rental. I shared that I had it with Heardz rental and I was able to use supercharger and had car added to my Tesla app. Clearly no one at Europecar knows how it works. I was looking forward to my trip with my Tesla rental, but what an epic failure

Do you miss your cars when you travel?

I am visiting Italy tomorrow for a bit and guess what car I’m renting? Tesla really ruined it for me, I can’t go anywhere without my favourite EV.

This deserves more attention, because it’s a really cool @Starlink use case. They’re using collars on cattle that connect to Starlink satellites in space, allowing ranchers to create and adjust a “virtual fence” in real time right from their phone in the middle of nowhere. You don't need to be close to a radio tower anymore. Literally no-one has done this before.

Would you rather have a 500 km battery 🔋 and HAVE Self driving + reliable supercharger network OR have an EV with 800 km charge + mostly reliable charging network and NO Self driving?

Change a tire in the sticks with NO JACK. drive to flat place, raise suspension to very high, place a 9.5 x6x6 stud under the A arm of the flat tire, set truck to Low suspension, tire will lift off the ground. Change tire, set to Extract Mode, remove the Stud .. 20 minutes...😁

Cybertruck doing truck things. 28 bags of soil and manure with lots of room to spare

Somebody cranked out a cool app to tell you the version of your Cybertruck PCS and if that version is affected by the current problems. Sadly mine showed as a Rev E, which is affected by the issue 🫣 What about you? pcsinfo.vercel.app/?fbclid=Iwb21l…

Spraying just one dandelion with roundup will kill 100+ pollinators. The flower will take days to die, and in that time will be visited by dozens of bees and butterflies, poisoning them as well. The exposed pollinators don't die quickly, as they would with insecticide exposure. The death is slower and more brutal. In the case of bumblebees, they lose their ability to see colors, can't find flowers, and starve to death. If the dandelions truly are a hell no for your yard, pull them. Don't spray them.

In 2020, a small city in Wisconsin told its residents they could stop mowing for a month. 435 households joined in. The bees came back the same spring. Appleton was the first US city to adopt No Mow May. The city council suspended its weed ordinance for the month so residents wouldn't get cited for tall grass. Around 40 acres of lawn across the city went uncut. Researchers from Lawrence University sampled the unmowed lawns and nearby mowed city parks in the same week. The unmowed lawns had 5 times as many bees and 3 times as many bee species as the mowed parks. Wisconsin is home to nearly 500 native bee species. Most people have never seen them because they don't live in honeybee hives. They're solitary bees, ground nesters, small black or metallic green insects that fit on a fingernail. Appleton's unmowed yards gave them food and shelter in the hungry early-spring window when almost nothing else is blooming. The experiment cost the city nothing. It saved residents fuel and labor. It produced measurable ecological results within 30 days. Dozens of US cities have adopted the practice since. Has yours?
