Absolutely true. And I live in Oklahoma. Kids are turning heads and trying to overrun my Teslas when waiting at the bus stops. A kid opened a window on a highway to show me a thumb up. Kids at school thought my daughter is reach cuz we drive Teslas. etc.

I watched the video... I learned that: 1) NYC sucks, and no one should buy ANY car living there. 2) The LLBeans guy really makes plenty of false claims (like "EVs with comparable options are more expensive than similar ICE vehicles") 3) I would not live in NYC, and if I would be forced to live...

good

But you still drive it?

I have a similar experience. Interestingly, I only had a relatively hard PB (from 70 to 50 in a couple seconds) once in a newer Model Y about 2 years ago. Also PBs were generally noticeably deeper in 22 Model Y than in my older 19 Model 3. There were almost no PBs in the past year. It seems...

So, you "was able to download the telemetry". Can you tell me more about this part? I am also confused as you claim the AEB system misfire (which are very very rare based on very few reports existing here, for example), but the AEB is not really the AP or FSD.

I would be careful about that FSD from a dealership. I know that people successfully get used cars with FSD directly from Tesla and directly from previous owners. However, I saw here many stories of FSD disabled by Tesla some time after the car was purchased at a [non-Tesla] dealership. Model...

I think that F-150 EV already can be used for V2H, but I wonder for how long will it last realistically. Last year storms in our area happened in summer and disabled power for up to 2 weeks in some neighborhoods. The main problem was not light or keeping fridge running, but it was to keep the...

Of course, Musk could do what Reuters asserted he did, and also he could do a million other things. Logic should tell us that if the manager has issue with an employee, the manager can fire that employee. After doing so, there is no point firing the entire team. But if we decline Musk the...

Nowhere have I said I have information on Tesla. I really don't understand why you keep attacking a strawman. I actually encourage not trust me.

none. I usually read several osint-type channels on the same topic and, if interested, follow their leads. The Reuters article in question has anonymous sources only and even states that the M-T meeting was the one-on-one meeting, so nobody, other than M or T, can know for sure. However, that...

Unfortunately, no "established" news corporation can be trusted these days as journalism existing at will of sponsors is increasingly synonymous with prostitution. No, Musk or Gates or Buffett, are even less trustable.

Oh, and who are those losers who really need the $? I am glad if you belong to an exclusive group of people who don't really need the $, congratulations.

When I first saw the article, I though it is about Ford Mach-E because its non-top versions have really bouncy suspension and a lot of people complained about getting sick in them. Nah, it's all about Tesla - the worst offender.

I just updated my post above. The chill mode never mentioned, brake control (available at least in some SW versions on some vehicles) have never been mentioned. My guess is that Ed Kim has some real wet sexual fantasies about Teslas.

Also, such idiotic stories potentially sponsored by some other auto manufacturers surely affect the perception of Tesla. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/ev-drivers-passengers-motion-sickness/story?id=110131757 Brief summary: EVs can make you sick, Tesla is especially bad in it, but Hyundai and...

I don't know about everyone, but my neighbor, who was very much excited about Tesla last year, is now refusing to drive in one because, he said, "billionaires make money when their workers are getting poorer. Musk is not paying his workers their fair share like other manufacturers do, he is...

This really sounds as EVERY billionaire unscripted.

We had no compact powerful car computers in the 90s to make a Model 3, and no touch screens.

Not really true. I tested the new Model 3, and in 5 minutes got used to wheel turn signal buttons. It might be a problem, somewhat, if you drive multiple cars with different controls, say a Mercedes and a Ford Explorer. But some people will always complain that the sugar was sweeter in those...

Your second issue could very well be due to network connectivity problems. If you see it again, try finding something else to check if you have connectivity or if it is a true SC routing issue.

Are you trying to prove that any discussion eventually comes to Hitler?

or a lot of stories are made up by people 35 years younger than you. Also, considering how much truth comes from corporate executives and the board members (hint: near zilch) about internal personal matters, we can conclude that everything that someone tells s/he heard from someone who...

No one said there should be a lot of examples. Moreover, it is unlikely anyone finds much official information on this because, if exposed, this all but guaranteed to lead to a federal investigation. I also agree that salivating on the cool stories that Elon Musk is real Jean-Baptiste...

I am talking about patterns and historical examples, that's it.

Wait until the warranty expires... 😱

As I assumed earlier, this really looks more and more like a house clean-up after a big internal department-wide f..-up such as kickbacks, for example. If that is true, then the entire thing can be overall a positive damage control, and we'll not likely to ever know. Again, based on a tip from...

They found Gwynne Shotwell, so I would not be that categorically judgemental about Elon. After all, most major entrepreneurs, CEOs, and directors are exclusive examples of two-legged humanitarian catastrophe.

This is probably why I see tons of useless (maybe once a week, no more, I see a car charging by our local grocery store) charging stations around town collecting dust for 5 years.

Passengers in private vehicles with phones IS a common distraction factor. "Look honey what I found on Amazon!" "Oh, s$it!" You know, it's okay. We lived perfectly fine traveling without the phones or the internet just some 25 years ago.

Good you are not Ford. ☺️

Plane/train/boat/ferry are easy to exclude. Buses may require BT transmitters. Taxi is easy through the Uber/Lyft app. It is not happening because of the lack of political will and because this would lead to fewer adds shoveled to your brain when driving and riding, not because of technical...

This is truly amazing that (1) almost all Tesla crashes are now claimed to be the fault of Tesla even before AP or FSD involvement can be confirmed. (2) Tesla often is singled out even though much less common AP-like enabled vehicles may present more problems per vehicle, but you rather have to...

One thing that could be done anytime to save thousands of lives is to block phone screens when moving faster than, say, 5 mph. Can be done in one update to all Android and iOS devices.

I believe, there are two general ways to see the Tesla SC team situation. First is that the sudden dissolving of a large department and removing all contacts overnight should point to some internal top-to-the bottom problems with the department such as, for example, widespread kickbacks. Musk...

Also-also. I just sad to my guys never-Tesla-again is probably way forward. So, fanboy I am not.

Also, you might be surprised how St.Donald acts as a typical CEO... and it is not irrational.... cuz it works.

You must have too much trust in Elon's bandwidth capacity to plan and manage a layoff of a department. Edit: I mean single-handedly

A tip I've got from a finance exec: suspect widespread developers or mid management level kickback deals unearthed as a reason for the entire department fire in one day.

Sorry, my statement was actually aimed not at you specifically. Rather I am tired of seeing increasingly often the statement that "never Tesla" because "of the way the company operates" and "the personality of EM". I admit you might even have a different meaning of "the way the company...

Oh the privilege to demand the world revolves around yourself. 😇 If only this worked, who would buy a Ford, Mercedes, or a VW vehicle ever again. That said, if one demands the fine interior and fit quality atop of all, then Tesla is not the best choice, I agree. Mercedes, BMW, or Audi and...

Here is a summary of the charging curve for most EV trucks. The Cybertruck curve is in progress of upgrades by Tesla, and you find Kyle already reporting 330 kW for the Cybertruck. As you can see, for most of the time the charging curve for the Lightning is very bad.

From a lot of reviews I saw on Lightning, the major issue matching my expectations with the Lightning is that because of its low efficiency you need it to charge as fast as possible if you want to travel anywhere with it. 150 kW max is a no-starter for any modern EV, let alone an EV truck...

cool story.

I kinda was interested in the e-Tron before getting the Y, but their EV tech and design seemed an afterthought to me. No VW for me for a range of reasons. That said, Audi has some really nice interiors (and bad, in my personal opinion, software). On tech and value, I'd go with Acura though...

Yes, VolksWagen is also making cars.

The door is completely intact I believe.

Interesting. This is the first time I see someone reporting this issue. Thanks for the review. The only competitors that I would potentially consider as an alternative to Tesla are M-B and Porsche and Rivian after they integrate NACS. Everything else seems pretty much garbage that is used by...
