Drum rolllllllllll what did they say?

One more reason to avoid using FSD

I had a Ford Transit Connect (which slowly fell to pieces before y eyes, but that's a different story) and it had a nail in one of the rear tires. I took it to a no-name tire shop and they fixed it with a plug. It's not so much the location of the hole that's at the heart of this story, but...

Now everyone's taking this too seriously 🤡 When I bought my Civic the title said it had 34 miles on it at the time of sale, which ticked me off because it should have been 3.4 So "New" or not, the title will tell that story

you seem to be taking this a little too seriously

Have you ever seen a teenager drive a rental car? Let alone one that was a BEV?

It's a demo model ... the scratch is just the wear and tear that you can see

Dark colored cars look really good right after you wash them. The other 364 days of the year they look like crap.

ALL cars should be white . . . with a tan interior 🤡

I used to think the 3 and the S were better looking, but I've got used to the Y now and in fact when trying to tell the Y from the 3 on the road, I generally look for the black plastic at the back as otherwise they're so similar The Y is way more useful than the 3 and way cheaper than the S

You've got to ask yourself a question: Do you feel lucky? Well do you?

that's probably why he was a former Tesla service center guy 🤡

Why here in Texas we're all a usin' 6G !

Those Germans and their tanks . . . 🤡

I'm getting it on another bulletin board too; one that spans many countries. Mind you the British ones coming out with all the anti-EV bollocks are pretty much the same ones on the brexit thread who (and this is hard to believe) think brexit was (and still is) a good idea [1] I'm constantly...

Doh! of course ... Plug Mind you, in England we call Receptacles Plugs ...and also call them Sockets, but Plugs are always Plugs, so we might put a plug into a Plug Personally I'd call it a Duplex Outlet 🤓

I just saw a post on cl for a 50A (allegedly) extension cord that terminated in 14-50P and 14-50R My question is: What's the P and the R for? Prong and Recepticle maybe? Why not M and F for Male and Female ... or is that just too carnal?

Two things I don't understand: (i) why EVs seem to have become a political wedge issue (well I suppose someone somewhere is making money or gaining votes by making it so) (ii) why the right wing seem to hate EVs (a generalisation to be sure) but Elon, who in fairness seems to gravitate to that...

Funny you should say that (right at the beginning of this thread) but I have had that happen in an icemobile - but that was because the pickup must have been at the front of the tank causing it to cavitate when the fuel sloshed to the back I've heard similar (but opposite) happens in a Cessna...

I had a car that had a cupholder with little spring loaded "fingers" inside it so that any cup up to the size of the opening could be accommodated

I'm in the "Other" category, but only because if it's the weekend, or if I'll be heading out soon then I don't bother, but really I should be in the "Yes" category

I wonder why the people who make cupholder inserts . . . don't make cups too! Seems like a lost income stream to me and don't take this the wrong way but this is the epitome of a First World Problem 🤡

For daily driving, I wouldn't bother, but my commute is 80 miles round trip so I generally keep it plugged in overnight, just do it as a matter of course when I get home I also do this so that when people tell me they can fill their icemobile up in as little as five minutes, I can tell them it...

But doesn't Space-X eventually return to Earth? . . .

I always wonder why people do things like this. With a little more effort, they could probably have built a thriving business that would have generated income for many years, but instead . . .

Can I select which people? ...mostly for the "ferry to" bit

"Work" in the car?????? I watch Netflix 🤡

We used to have an Eight Track Museum in Dallas, but apparently it closed sometime around 2015

I'm just happy to get a guaranteed 5% on a CD

Wait I looked into this when I bought my Y and the website said it wasn't available for the Y This was October 2021 mind ... so has it changed since? (I guess so)

This won't help I know, but remember that while 10,000 itself is a big number it's Supercharger miles (whatever those are) but in $ terms it's like $100, maybe $200

. . . unless (and yes I'm being pedantic here) it was time to go and you were only at 90% 🤡 but I take your point and if I was doing any kind of a long trip I'd get it to 100% first if I could, just because . . . runway behind you and fuel on the ground etc

I'm not sure I understand: the only way it would be faster is if you left with enough to skip one of the planned stops ...or do you mean that if at your first stop you were supposed to charge to 60%, then that would be faster if you arrived with 40% rather than 10%? That certainly makes sense...

That's a valid point. If you want to do the whole trip on one charge, then maybe 100% at the start would be the way to go, but if you'll be stopping to charge on the way, then remember that you'll charge faster the lower the SoC is (think of loading the trunk with suitcases and how easy it is at...

Maybe the deadfronts are coming loose

not if you close your eyes

I just got this email: Your Full Self-Driving (Supervised) Trial starts now! You've been granted a 30-day complimentary trial of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) for your Model Y ending in XXXXXX. Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It...

Funny you should mention this . . . I bought a Volvo station wagon once, paid $2,000 for it, brought it home and parked it in the driveway That night it got fairly cold so condensation formed on the windshield. The physics bods on here could probably explain how micro scratches (like what you...

or use toothpaste

In fairness there are a few things a driver CAN control - like the icon tray for example, whether to run it in Day Mode or Night Mode or Auto Mode ... but I take your point Having said that, every time I get a new cell phone, I promise myself I'll look thought the ENTIRE Settings menu and learn...

(moderator note) Due to the way the forum software handles posts moved (which is by date / time stamp) this post became the first post in this thread. The actual first post in the thread is post #3, =============================================== I know you said PM, but ... I have a...

Yes but your passenger has to STFU while you say the commands . . . and what's the chance of that happening?

I asked about that on another forum once and someone posted a link to a yt that "explained" it all. My eyes glazed over after a while though

Doesn't show red in my mirror, or looking over my shoulder. It just looks BIG . . . and that's generally enough for me

Still not as easy as every other vehicle I've ever driven (that had a stalk) I understand the minimalist concept and how the M3 was supposed to be a fleet rental car and you'd have a software profile to adjust everything regardless of which vehicle you took, but seriously, take it to the...

. . . apart from ceiling fans 🤓 but most of the stuff you mentioned I'd agree with ... and why a monochrome Nav screen? It's so much easier to use Nav when it's in colour WITH street names easily visible. You know like ALL THE OTHER manufacturers do Yes I'd like to get rid of the...

Yes my sister told me it's been very mild and pleasant so far this year 🤡

"Woke" is just another bull***t word that means whatever you want it to mean and in the end doesn't really mean anything. Like "Family Values" and "Patriot"

Sorry, I was just showing off that I'd read it :)

We have a very difficult citizen application process though - much more difficult than the US one that I went through. You have to be able to make a halfway decent cup of tea, then drink it with your little finger sticking out. Then there's the grammar part, where you have to use the words...
