Actually I always thought the AP1 I had on my original 2014 car was excellent compared to the EAP I have today. It included lane change, auto-park and robust summon. And no phantom braking.

Glad the OP solved the issue, but two more things that could cause a slow leak that weren’t posted. 1. Wear out of front tyres on the inner side due to excess toe in. It’s very hard to see unless under the car. It was flagged in an MOT for me and soon after a slow leak appeared. 2.Wheel crack...

Actually, this is a very good example frankly of what is wrong at Tesla. Musk indeed believes that his neural network will get smart enough to use vision alone (as in - humans rely on 2 eyes to create a 4D space, so can Tesla vision). This is his belief - not based on data. The direction of the...

To the points made by @UkNorthampton, while EV and battery efficiency, charging infrastructure etc will certainly bring more into the EV fold, the issue with Idiot Musk is that he is doubling down on moon shot changes and is not prepared to fight the industrial efficiency battle for Tesla cars...

Some good points above. Bottom line though, Tesla is no longer the only game in town for a workable EV (including SC’s). Early sales were for people like us who enjoyed something different and new. But that market is now saturated. Tesla’s growth now depends on those who want something familiar...

Well off topic now, but that looks great. Certainly an idea for our silly “summer house” that never gets used.

Well, I’ve certainly seen that happen personally in a medium-sized company of 3BUSD annual sales. Following which, the staff that actually generated value left, leaving the company to lose growth and profitability.

Yes, in many ways my original 2014 MS was the best sorted of the 3 I’ve owned.

The issue with legacy automakers and “software” is that they essentially cobble together various systems, whereas Tesla use a single integrated firmware structure and then also set up the software themselves. To be fair, this is easier to do for an EV than an ICE. We sell chips directly to...

Of course as a Plaid driver you would notice the difference in the punch. But for anyone else - any car that does 60 in, say 3 seconds, and a quarter in less than 11, is going to feel sooo fast compared a non-performance car. I decided not to buy a LHD drive Plaid here in the UK (wrong side of...

FWIW American settled in the UK here - executive of a multinational semiconductor company. Lots of cyclical redundancies in my business unfortunately. Have experience with this in 5 countries! In the US it’s not a legal requirement as such but you have to have enough to make sure you are not...

Why do people go for “TESLA” reg’s anyway? We all know it’s a Tesla - it says so right above the plate on some models. I’d go for IDI07 MSK if it was possible.

I should have been more clear. I meant a reliable source.

Well, the insider story I’ve now heard is that indeed the charging business margins were not satisfactory leading the decision to open EV charging to backfire. The additional margin from other marques at SuC’s is not compensating for the internal view of lost sales due to availability of Tesla...

Really? Can you quote your source on this please?
