True, but what I said was that you can't change books or start a new book. That's rare, but sometimes I get bored with a book, and want to listen to a different one. What I said was, "there's no way I'll spend $15 a month for Audible." The $15 is the monthly cost of an Audible subscription. I...

The cost of the higher mileage car is an important issue. Our 85k Nick drives like new.

Some are those who don't know if they have V8 or V9 and don't want to bother figuring out which.

I use separate USB drives for Sentry vs. music. Both are plain vanilla (but good quality) USBs. Been using them for four years with no problems. I've put some shorter audiobooks and comedy sets on USB, and that works. Streaming from the phone works well, but you can't legally change sources...

That sounds like an Easter egg, but Googling doesn't bring anything up. What Toybox features were you playing with? What did the voice sound like? And you, uh, both heard it, right?

Note that the effort required is less when your directional signal is on.

The new park assist display is fun and impressive, but there's something still missing: informative tones. I can't look three places at once (out the windows, backup camera, & display), but I can easily look one place and listen for warning tones. This video is out of date, but demonstrates...

Humans have a "visual range" of 16,000 light years. My Tesla sees the sun which is 93 million miles away. Doesn't help with UPLs. With turns like that, if there's significant traffic, I turn right and do a U-turn.

On a 25 mph small road near me, V12 consistently slows at two locations. At these locations there's writing on the road. "SCHOOL" at one and "STOP AHEAD" at the other. V11 never slowed. Anyone else notice that?

I see almost no advantage for the company that operates that versus, say, one that operates a normal taxi. That is, in both, the driver is working the same amount of time. In one he's in the car, in the other he's in the office. The only upside I can think of is he can easily switch to a...

Interesting. I find any long drive tiring and much less so on FSD. Might be age related. Serious question: What about driving on a four lane for twelve hours? We did some twelve hour drives on a road trip, and I wouldn't have done that without FSD.

When I search, many posts say there's no understanding branches, but a lot of posters speak of them as if they are clearcut. I want to understand them so I can find out when I'm likely to get a new feature (e.g.Audible). How many branches are there? Has anyone diagrammed these branches? BTW...

Note that you can't clear that nag by just torquing the wheel. You must torque the wheel AND look up at the road. Yes, this invaluable in a strange town. I learned that here, when the nav said, "Enter the roundabout and take the second exit."

Not saying this is happening to you, but when my wife started using autopilot she would unintentionally disengage via torque all the time. I finally realized that she was trying to influence the car's path. That is, if she felt the car was too far left, she would turn the wheel a little bit to...
