    Phantom braking so bad I want to return my car

    I find this thread very interesting; It seems that if this was an ICE BMW, MB, Lexus. etc, etc....those with this problem would be all over the dealer for repair time table, a loaner car, and most importantly some type of compensation, especially in this price range....no? So where is the...

    Want MY from Austin not Fremont

    The other factor is production variability from Texas. My guess is that there may be quality issues as they ramp up and deliver cars, as they make more cars (as in other factories) their quality should improve....maybe.

    Ordered MY, second thoughts

    I also am in my early 70s and want to 'taste the future' before I am, err....too old. I have test driven the MY, Mach-e and ID4. The MY is clearly the future given the minimalistic interior/controls. It may be a bridge too far for some, but I will say it was a lot of fun to drive. The lack of...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Actually, FWIW it all comes down to expectations. With 'dumb' cruise control your expectation is that you must watch the traffic, road, etc just like you are in total control (this is not a bad thing). We have been 'conditioned' to some extent that the car will do things that it is not yet...

    Vision cruise control isn't usable (video)

    Just for reference, I owned a 2015 Subaru Outback with the then optional 'Eyesight' cruise control. You set the speed and how many car lengths and engage. If the car in front of you stopped, so did you. My point is this is not advanced rocket science; other manufacturers have this nailed years...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Regarding software, I read somewhere that Ford outsourced SW development, as opposed to doing it in house. Given the complexity, variability and supportability, it seems that that might have been a mistake.....

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Wonder how Audi Q4 e-tron will fit in (compete)......

    Font size and level of detail on screen

    Being an individual in my early 70s, and having lenses installed so that my far away vision is excellent; the tradeoff is close vision. It seems that much of the screen is a bit blurry. Is there an adjustment to increase the font size? Or perhaps a utility to magnify the screen? I suspect not...

    Windows on Model Y

    Is a glass roof sun shade available that just covers the area over the driver and passenger seats, and leaves the rest open? Thanks.

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    An ancillary question regarding price changes and ordering. It is clear if someone placed an order at price x, and two weeks later the price became x+, when that person received his car he would pay price x, no? Well if that same person place an order for price x, and two weeks later the price...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    If I may, I would suggest creating a decision matrix on a spreadsheet with all the factors that would affect your decision, including the emotional. Each day look at the spreadsheet and move factors up or down the list for each vehicle. After some time (for you to determine) the list will sort...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    Thank you for the reply; yes, I have read some on the voice commands...I have had that function on other cars with less than stellar results. Is the system in the MY any better?

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    This statement is true; my own perspective is that there are features in the Teslas that I do not want or need (e.g, games, movies, farts), and I am not sure I am comfortable, after driving for upwards of 50+ years that I want to have to learn where all the buttons on the touch screen are (like...

    Tesla Shop - Unresponsive to emails at their email address

    Wow, I guess the moral to this story is never to buy anything from the Tesla online store......yikes.

    Test ride today....

    You cannot turn off the regenerative braking? Really? I seem to recall her showing me three buttons on the screen that I though adjusted it in some way....
