    A very unpleasant surprise.

    The cabin heat protection will be disabled at 20% battery level as I know. Turn off that feature if you leave you car for a long period time and park car in a shaded area, or bring a solar panel to charge it -Just kidding.:-)

    Maybe it is a personal feeling, I pretty much use AP on every single day on freeway driving, I felt Autopolit handles the situation that someone cuts into my lance a bit smoother. Absolutely love the summon feature even it is a beta. I treat AP as driving assistance, watching the traffic while...

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    No kidding, halting deliveries for two weeks means sending staff home or have them sitting idle tapping their phone? Can Elon be tolerated that?

    Poll: Tesla US EV Federal Tax Credit ends Q1 or Q2 ???

    The number model 3 of June delivery will be around 8K I guess, Tesla has zero motivation to halt delivery, the staffs in the delivery center need to be paid, right? halting delivery means sending them home. It is against Elon's moral.

    I do not think so at all, Elon wants to make 5000 model 3 a week at the end of Q2, and he clearly wants to massively produce Model 3 to get market share before other big player starting delivery their electronic car.
