That is the Houston way!

Dude. I don't know who hurt you but you need to find a way to forgive them because you're coming off as a jerk for no reason. Feel better.

First of all, I know I'm preaching to the EV choir here so the responses to this might be biased. Second, not sure if any of you watch Cash's videos but he's been going very negative lately anyway. Watch his video (as far as you can before getting fed up) and let me know your thoughts. Is this...

Looks like a couple of Houston area superchargers are offline. They map out to areas heavily hit by power outages following this week's storms. Heads up if you normally travel these routes.

My previous car before the Tesla MY was a Kia Nero EV. I hated that car but at least it let me use CarPlay which, in my opinion, works fantastically!

I mean... for an AI company that makes cars as a side business you'd think Tesla could do this better! 🤣 THANK YOU!! I don't feel so bad now that I know I wasn't the only one doing this! (and happy this thread could help someone!)

Not to split hairs but to for sure reinforce better instructions are needed... that not-button on the screen is LITERALLY a microphone image (not-button) button on the right side of the steering wheel (lower left corner of the screen, to the right side of the steering wheel). Anyway - I...

Is the button (or lack of clear instructions to NOT use the not-button) not part of the functionality? Maybe I'm just old. My first car had an AM radio with buttons you pull to set as pre-sets... so... yeah.

I'll give it a try! If this is the case and I've been using it wrong all along I'll change my response to "a little glitchy" since there aren't clear directions/bad indicators on the screen.

So you're telling me EVERYTHING on the screen is a button that does something EXCEPT this which says "press"? C'mon!

But it literally says at one point to "double tap" that icon to send/re-try or something. In the screenshot in my original post it even says "Press to reply". It's a button on the screen, my friend!

I've been very unimpressed with the integration of iMessage and the Tesla system. That damn button in the bottom left never works for me. Curious if others are frustrated with the experience or maybe its just me. (image via notateslaapp.com)

Apologies if I missed it... both days I drove the same: speed limit or speed limit +5 (otherwise people will run you off the road). So max speed both days was 75 mph. I drive like grandpa and shake my fist at the rest of the world for driving like FREAKING IDIOTS out there.

Thanks for the detailed response! I made it work in the end but this was the first unexpected thing I've experienced after owning 2 EVs. I do worry about people coming over from gas vehicles that are used to watching the needle go from F to E and otherwise not thinking about anything. To me...

Maybe you own an RV and don't know it!
