Physical controls are objectively safer than touchscreen controls. They are more responsive and predictable, and you can operate them without looking at them.

I made myself sad by accidentally going to the US site when checking to see if they M3P is out in Australia yet. I wish these were our options here.

This is correct. The best thing to do with a ticket issued in a private carpark is to put it in the bin. If you read the fine print on the back you will find the words "this is not a fine" somewhere, it is basically a fee for an inspection service or however they choose to phrase it. Also, they...

The Cybertruck wasn't on the menu before the launch, and it was suddenly added on the US launch day. That might mean they are planning to launch it here eventually.

That's quite a testimonial for the EQE, I will go have a look at one. I still would have preferred a new S, I will miss the convenience of superchargers and the touchscreen.

Well, I'm a bit late to this news but it's hard to overstate my disappointment. I normally replace cars every 4 years, and have been holding on to my S for almost 7 years now, waiting for the new S. I don't see any alternative vehicle that matches the S. Damn!

The MCU2 upgrade is by far the best money you'll ever spend. Makes the S a whole new car.

I almost laughed, but actually you might be right. My extended family has almost entirely returned to their old-world countries over the past 20 years, and this sort of thing emphasises our isolation out here.

My Model S is noticeable rougher when I use 45psi instead of 40psi.

I saw his interview with Bill Maher, he seems to be a lot more reasonable in person than his various tweets would suggest. The other thing to consider is that his type of thinking is more materialist (eg the physics of climate change) than emotional. He is certainly no genius in the emotional...

Au contraire, any change is promising as far as I'm concerned. Please! I need a new S!

I am so ready for a new Model S, I test drove a M3P a few weeks ago. It was great, and I'm very tempted to get one, but I have been holding out for a new S for so long I just can't take the plunge. If we knew exactly how long it would be it would make life a lot easier. If it was 1 year I would...

I queued at Port Mac and Heatherbrae last week, as the only car in the queue and only for a few minutes. It's exacerbated by the slower charge speeds you get when you finally get a spot.

Not yet, but in some countries Tesla is allowing non-Teslas to use the SC network. It's probably their long-term plan to be a universal provider. Who knows when though.

Yes, you should wait if resale value is the only consideration. In the future the resale value of a 2023 car will be higher than that of a 2022 car.
