They probably want to see how often drivers override the behavior to test the threshold that has the fewest / satisfies the most drivers.

Higher demand? No, people are even poorer after covid blows over, and not investing into EVs unless they were already in a market for it. So you're more likely to see a reduction in EV purchases than if Covid had not occurred. On the other hand, it's more likely that governments will use the...

Cross discipline knowledge transfer is one of the greatest techniques to find out of the box solutions in any industry. The fact that there's stock makes it effectively paid consultation, which everyone does, just like licensing technology with support. If there is a stockholder out there who...

Soon self driving developers will pay to embed random vehicles (horses, carriages) appearing in our MMOs, and occasionally plowing into players. Win/Win!

Just train it on GTA V which has plenty of unpredictable behavior :D

Did anyone note the proper bolt size and thread to connect to the terminals without unscrewing the original bolt on the DC/DC terminals?

I like the front rear braking bias setting, unfortunately, this is one case where it's nice to have a big physical dial to change that while driving. Though being able to set different bias settings based on your GPS location around a track would be interesting, you can tune it to each part of...

It's true, but that's more a result of the direct to customer model, without a dealer as a middleman checking on the product from the factory, the customer becomes responsible for that. I'm pretty used to owning that process for all my other purchases, (computers, electronics, houses, decor)...

I think that if you look at any new EV manufacturer, anyone can match the specs of a Tesla vehicle with existing technology, but they cannot necessarily do that as profitably (we're speaking margin, not company profit, think Nio who outsources their manufacturing and their situation and as you...

It's been that way for 3 revisions at least, I actually would prefer it since the tesla app usually opens faster than the myq, and there's no delay before closing. The MyQ also had issues in the past such as erroneously notifying me the garage door was open while I was at work (it was just an...

The trick is to drive the cars a lot longer. I paid 36k for a 2010 STI, and when I sold it 8 years later to get my Model S75, I got 22k for it so around 2k a year. I am pretty sure it'll take a bit hit after the first 4 years, but I think from years 5-8, it really won't make a big difference...

100%. The traction control also works incredibly fast to prevent any wheelspin so when I first got my Tesla, I would floor it 0-30 everywhere I went, something that would have involved a lot of noise if I tried that in my STI.

In the Bay Area, I got used to leaving the trunk empty and visible with the cover open, then putting items in the frunk so people wouldn't break my windows.

I spent several minutes staring at a blue iPace over in Sunnyvale, I love it. I wouldn't buy one due to the electrics but the esthetics are great. Tesla really should expand their paint options though, Jaguar has some great options. I'm sure an electric ftype world be amazing, but again the...

Huh I saw this in blue at the Central Computer parking lot in Sunnyvale and it was stunning, in a way Teslas aren't. It's not conservative in any way and the paint was gorgeous. But I buy cars on my needs and while I'd consider an electric F type if I decide I wanted a sporty car, the iPace...

you can only align the first partition of the drive. You don't need to align the successive partitions since they'll all be aligned because of the ending position of the first partiiton.

Isn't that actually the EPB connector, not the liftgate controller connector? The Applique install shows the lower right connector being tapped, not the upper left when viewed from the trunk. That might limit the available current. I'd be interested to see the pinout to see if I can add a 12v...

Just think intercooler after the turbo to cool the compressed air so it lowers the temperature before it gets stored. This system only operates on partial load, it doesn't contribute to heat soak in the motors or battery pack since they can place the intercooler anywhere.

I wish the trim piece were available without the raised tesla lettering so it could be wrapped smooth. Is it actually chromed plastic, or a metal piece that could be flattenned and puttied smooth?

I've had it take 10 minutes one time (dash worked, center screen took 10 minutes for logo to come on, I seriously thought it was broken). SC indicated it can take longer to wake up with power savings. Most days it's really fast. I have < 30 second wake times in the mornings half the time...

I picked up fabric seats and have gone on a couple bay area to LA trips with them. Very comfortable and I didn't feel sweaty in them. Besides, the money saved can be rolled into nice upgrades like paint protection etc. We keep our cars a long time, and non-leather seats seem to look pristine...

I'd rather the air suspension be a ride adjustable variant, i would not have bought my MS if it drove like my Lexus GS (which needed a lot of aftermarket mods not available for Teslas). It's not age, just preference as we are much older and I would not have bought my MS if it drove like my...

This is great news, my wife won't let go of her e46 with sport suspension, maybe this will be the clincher. Sounds like this might be a bit harsher though, was that on the 19"?

I think they mentioned support for AR dash projection. Suppose that camera in the Model 3 would be for eye tracking?

We just need a simple way to disable the fob when it's not in use. Like a power switch, or a bluetooth beacon in the bedroom that disables the fob. The rest of the time, if I see a suspicious guy tailing near me with an antenna i'll know. Would be nice if Tesla simply sent a push notification...

That and engine control systems are usually using lookup tables that work well in steady state part throttle conditions, but perform poorly during acceleration because the A/F measurements lag the actual conditions in the cylinder, and the load is variable, so the proper stoichiocastic ratio is...

It's quite nice, a bit like they took my STI hatchback and beat the ugly out of it. I would rather have a more wedged nose, but I know that type of design is no longer permitted due to pedestrian safety concerns.
