    Robotaxi? Really??

    I think it would be hard to find anyone who would disagree Fingers and toes crossed.

    Robotaxi? Really??

    I said Musk can't fire the board. Not the other way around. Of course the board can, and should, fire Musk. Before his behavior becomes even more erratic, impulsive, and well, Trumpian. What's the plan? Keep trying to sell ancient (in car years) model S and Model X? Keep leaning on simply...

    Robotaxi? Really??

    Teslas are still great cars. ONE problem is the designs are getting old, with nothing new on the horizon. THE BIGGEST ISSUE, THOUGH, BY FAR, IS MUSK HIMSELF. He is turning people off in droves. Especially young people. I know so many potential buyers who refuse to consider a Tesla simply...

    Robotaxi? Really??

    Yep. Trying to influence the stock price, as his every muttering used to do. People are on to his behavior now. Ketamine fueled rants and impulsive decisions are not what his companies need right now.

    Robotaxi? Really??

    While I see your point if I squint hard enough, I don't think logic is what Musk is using. The layoffs are easy to explain. He's desperately trying to have a profitable quarter, so that he can continue to push his ridiculously exorbitant 55BILLION dollar pay package, that has already been...

    Robotaxi? Really??

    Yep. Musk's decision making has become quite unstable. Perhaps it's all the Ketamine. My fear is that he'll destroy Tesla as he destroyed Twitter. I'll need to sell my Model Y before it gets too bad. I don't want to be stuck without service, or updates, when that time occurs. And it will...

    Playing USB Music

    When I rebuilt the stereo system in the car, the shop inserted a digital processor/reader between the USB's and the "head unit/front amplifier" to run lots of digital test tones. It could also record record frequency response, data, bit-rates, and all kinds of other information flowing from the...

    Good point. The way things are going right now, Tesla may not even be in business by then. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. It seems so OBVIOUS what the next product should be...

    I would definitely divest before a Robotaxi kills someone, and the stock tanks.

    Robotaxi? Really??

    Self driving is Musk's dream, pet project. And obsession all rolled into one. Unfortunately, it's not the general public's dream. I just simply fail to see how anyone governing and shepherding the future of Tesla could think ANOTHER total niche thing, like the Cyberflop before this, could...

    Playing USB Music

    No sir. Yes, it plays 24/192, no problem. Just not AT 24/192. Down mixed to 44/16. CD quality. Still sounds good, of course, but not true hi-res. I can already anticipate your next question....

    That only works if the car doesn't sleep. I don't use sentry mode in my own garage or driveway. It also had not been a bug "for years". It only started two months ago.

    How can I make the “home” location more accurate

    Lol... when I pull into my garage, I go from being "home" in my driveway, to being in my backyard neighbors house when in my garage. It's simply not the most accurate GPS antenna out there... much like the rest of the "tech" in our cars

    Playing USB Music

    To call the USB player in the Tesla "Rudimentary" is like calling Arsenic "not tasty". 1. It can't do continously playback between songs. It must insert a space between each song, even when none exists in the original recording. The USB players I used in 1995 could do this. 2. The input gain...

    Strange issue with USB

    Strange issue with USB

    My USB is recognized after charging. So in the morning, I don't have to restart. It stays recognized as long as I'm out, and sentry mode is on when parked, so the car doesn't fully sleep. It's only if I park at home that the USB goes unrecognized after the car sleeps. In those cases, I...

    Did Tesla reduce the MYP EPA range again

    I agree. The oversight wasn't great before, so Tesla could get away with it. But not so much now. Is what I'm saying. The lawsuit settlements will tell the tale, in the end

    Robotaxi? Really??

    It certainly was in the past. But Musk is no longer the controlling owner. He doesn't have the majority of shares any longer. He sold much of his stock to purchase a social media company he subsequently destroyed. He's just a figurehead now. A figurehead that annoys the very demographic that...

    Did Tesla reduce the MYP EPA range again

    The answer is very simple, actually. For years the government relied on manufacturers own tests for official, publicly endorsed range. Most of the manufacturers under-report their range, just slightly, so as not to disappoint customers. Tesla, on the other hand used every loop hole they could...

    Did Tesla reduce the MYP EPA range again

    What??? Tesla overstating the range? Really? I refuse to believe it! I'm covering my ears. Nananananana! But seriously...300 miles is certainly achievable. All you need to do is plot a route that's all downhill, and the speed limit never goes above 40. If the wind is at your back, and the...

    Rear Knuckles 2021 Model

    Not at all. The memo went out long ago to defer warranty repairs as long as possible, or try to blame the owner. My service experience has led me to Hyundai now. They aren't the most knowledgeable either... but they TRY.

    Rear Knuckles 2021 Model

    They looked at mine and assured me everything was OK. But told me both rear shocks were leaking.... along with giving me a hefty estimate. I bought an aftermarket suspension, and the tech installing it said the rear knuckles, and I quote, were "long gone". I just have never really trusted...

    Robotaxi? Really??

    I'm reading today that Tesla is scrapping plans for the Model 2 in favor of... the Robotaxi? Really? After the Cybertruck debacle that has sent their stock plummeting, this seems like another really stupid decision, if true. It's my understanding that Musk no longer has the controlling...

    Strange issue with USB

    Just a quick update on this: had my service appointment today, and, as expected, it's a software issue that they say their aware of. No timetable on a fix, or if they even know the root cause. Frankly, it was exactly the answer I was expecting. I think instead of booking appointments with...

    Strange issue with USB

    Not that I'm aware of, but almost a relief to see I'm not the only one with the issue. What's really strange, is if the car goes to sleep then charges...it recognizes the USB again. Only after sleeping, with no charging, it stops recognizing it. I have a service appointment on the 3rd...

    Strange issue with USB

    I have a 21 model Y, with the usb-c ports in the center console that support data. For 3 years, I've been playing music in those ports without issue. Suddenly, out of the blue, when the car goes to sleep and wakes up again, it does not recognize the player plugged into those ports. No...

    Am i the only one who wants to see larger album art?

    Am I the only one who REALLY wants to see larger album art ? Mine is completely indecipherable, and relegated to the one place on the screen I need to crane my neck to even see. I would gladly give up space for the "oh look, there's a car driving in its lane" graphic for a real audio interface.

    Battery drains while plugged in

    No idea. But it's waking up, turning on, and the climate control starts. We shouldn't be hijacking this thread with this. Even if I'm completely wrong, and it's done OTHER system coming on and blowing air, the fact is the car wakes up when the phone is near.

    Battery drains while plugged in

    Right. This is simply about the battery management software balancing cells. There will often be a very small drop, or gain, in total capacity when it does this after sleeping. It's nothing to be alarmed about at all . The other thing to watch, especially for new owners, is to limit the number...
