New articles are coming soon. In the meantime, check our FAQ.

Practical writing for Texas EV owners, from the technicians who run the calls. What to do when your car has no spare and you have a flat on the tollway. How to tell a dead 12V from a dead high-voltage pack. How to get into a Tesla, Rivian, Ioniq or Lightning when the handles will not present.

If we see the same failure three times in a week, we write it up. If four fleet managers ask the same question, we publish the answer. Nothing here is generic filler.

What you will find here

Quick-reference guides for the roadside situations we actually get called for: flats without a spare, blowouts at highway speed, dead accessory batteries, lockouts, seized wheel locks and sheared lug studs. Model-specific write-ups lean toward Tesla Model 3 and Y, with Rivian R1T, Ford Lightning, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Porsche Taycan close behind.

There is also local content: which DFW corridors have shoulders wide enough to work on safely, which garages have clearance problems, and how Dallas traffic patterns move our response times through the day.
