Its the shareholders prerogative to vote for representatives acting in their best interest. If those reps are allied with Elon, thats still the voters’ prerogative to elect/reelect/remove. So far, Musk’s rescinded pay was not determined by the shareholder class. It was determined by a judge...

Board members are appointed by shareholder votes. Your ownership determines your voting weight. Thats how all corporations work. If you own your company, you can appoint whomever you want to what position you want. Do you have an issue with that cut and dried principle ?

In the 13 years of Jobs' 2nd reign, he brought Apple from basically nothing (7B revenue and 4B market cap) to 100B of revenue and 400B of cap. In the 13 years of since Musk's CEO, the company went from literally nothing to 50B revenue and 1T of cap. If counting since IPO, it's 100B revenue and...

that link from an insurer says or implies nothing like what you quoted. no other insurer have similar language. nhtsa says nothing about axle preferences in their main tire safety page Tires | NHTSA they performed a large tire failure study but did not focus on links to differences on which...

If you give me a Taycan 4S extended battery Cross Turismo for the same price as a Model Y Performance I'll take it. If not... I'll stick with the Tesla.

just 1 way is in your phone app, go down to the bottom and click Release Notes. It'll tell you what's on your car. there is no official listing of what is the most current version. there are a bunch of websites that will compile voluntary fleet information to show what is newest. you'll...

I scraped and sanded off the surface rust from inner and outermost radius of the rotors, and needed to run many many cycles of Brake Burnishing to get the surface nice and smooth. The inside of the rears still arent shiny enough to be *visually* passable. The rears just dont get enough loads...

Yes you should do this. For Performance trims enter Track Mode and turn down regen. For all trims enter Service mode and use the brake servicing option to disable regen. You want to do this early and regularly to maintain a good, clean, flat interface between the pads and rotors. Debris may...

-add about 10% to what your car says it received due to charging losses -your electricity rate will be listed on your bill -theres usually a network/infrastructure cost in additional to the pure electricity rate -you can also find regional prices from the bureau of labor services surveys, which...

I waited a long for the 4680 structural battery and full gigacast and waited and waited and it never arrived and i just bought the current car. and im totally satisfied. over your car (and mine) the change in mcu/chip should make the interface snappier. the other changes, including...

Using small 12/16g CO2 cartridges might be an idea. Tiny. Cheap. Replaceable. Provides enough pressure for a bunch of uses. Not enough to be a hazard. Its funny the internet has all the lores about why Teslas are bad but in years of operation my primary gripe with the car is having to clean...

Just did a convoy road trip with my old 3P and new YP both on OEM summer tires and standard pressures. YP has slightly worse efficiency, offset by less degradation on newer battery. They both get near identical results on a % basis. (similar numeric value start and finish). Meaning it drives...

what does the noise sound like

The full rotation configuration from the service manual

Model Y OEM Winter tires (Sottozero 3 or Hakka R5 depending on market) are both directional

That's about right. It's a liquidy silver when freshly washed and under high-contrast light (like bright sun). With a coating of dust or under flat lighting, it's quite gray.

Good example of bad practice due to appeal to authority. The recommendation for rotation has not to do with whether Tesla or Michelin made the recommendation, or whether the car is all-wheel drive. Tesla wrote that for "Directional Tires", they should not be swapped left<-->right. When you...

Tire rotation depends on tire sizes, design (symmetry or directionality), and more importantly the observed wear on the tire. If your jack has enough capacity and you can lift it enough to raise both tires. They dont need much clearance, anyway.

I have the camera button set as a permanent shortcut on the menu. Always can press at it to get a view behind the car. The way I like to think of the Y is that it doesnt give up any of the 3’s general handling characteristics/behavior. It only trades off the last 10% of dynamic performance in...

Lots of 20" tires with the Y-speed rating and in the required load rating. More than 21" for sure. The staggered size for 21" really reduces useful tire selection.

-Sitting water/moisture in your vehicle is not good. Can cause mold and funk. Not sure where youre claiming the exact ingress, but for 3 it was simply excessive snow that fall into the trunk that I was too lazy to fully clean out. (Basically not a car problem, but a me problem). -Whistling is...

Quicksilver. Color code PN00

Well, i actually have a quicksilver MY, and I agree with the 3 other posters who have said separately that it looks like: magnesium, pewter, and gray. I still like it, of course. But it looks less like the bright silvery color thats implied by the name that most people would associate with.

On overcast days it looks like a gray-blue. (Im actually not a fan of that shade). In clear day light it looks steely/silver. The color on the car computer and phone app is multiple shades more blue than one expects.

Theres plenty of brake maintenance videos on youtube, and there are more on the standard cars than there are on the performance cars

The IRS website is very informative and actually written in friendly language. The depreciation is just 1 part of the costs when you calculate actual-costs. The other option is to simply use the mileage-based rate deduction. You can do both and determine which is more beneficial foryou...

ive driven through some serious serious THICK fog, and the forward fog lights make visibility marginally better. its not what i'd ever consider critical. note that the new 3 does not come equipped with them.

It depends what you are accustomed to. Below highway speeds, theres a deficit. Particularly the LR accelerator seems like its (artificially) dulled for the first 500ms of response. (Car seems to "roll" into its acceleration, whereas the P "jumps"). I drove 3P for years and that immediacy is I...

my 23 MYP steering weight feels heavier than 20 M3P for all the same settings and tire sets. this makes sense if they didnt change the steering programming across the 2 cars to provide different boosts. wider wheels and higher overall mass on the Y means more steering torque demanded from the...

Between my 3P and YP i prefer the Y. Never in my life was a crossover/suv person, but i dont hate the higher seating position of the Y. Actually the 3 feels oddly low now. Acceleration feels sufficient on the YP (but unsatisfactory on YLR!) compared to 3P; and the general dynamic...

My car's issue was fixed with a filter swap. (It was overdue for a change anyway). There are a million of general odor-eliminator products out there, and specifically made for car purposes like from Autoglym: https://www.autoglym.com/as150-air-con-sanitiser.html...

It's true that the Induction and the Uberturbine are all produced in a single-sided style, which means that the blades on left vs right side of the car are not symmetric. I would imagine that the blades are merely cosmetic and do not produce too much of an effect that is sensitive to the...

Probably addressed in thread, but all the Model Y RWD vehicles are safe to charge to and rest at 100%, because that state is below the battery's true capacity? Considering buying a Y for my parents who absolutely do not care about performance, or AWD (in the South), but I wouldn't want them to...

my 2020 car got really blurry over the winter. no doubt it was due to scratches from my constantly wiping the rear camera with my finger, soft cloth, tissue, etc, and rubbing road salts and debris across it. i read on official tesla servicing document (but can no longer find it!) that suggest...

can we keep all the non sequitur and red herring out of it and stay within the original premise: that the tesla usb audio player is the worst you've ever tried. so what audio players are better? what other cars source audio from 4+ different usb ports? what bones exactly did you require from a...

sorta pointless to debate matters of opinion on the internet, but i kinda laugh at the suggestion its the worst usb audio player in 2 decades. what are 1, 2, or 3 examples that are better? that it has to re-read the drives between sleep is annoying. agreed on that. the other stuff, lol, yeah...

Cars range is like my net worth: more than I need, less than I want. Its enough. Driving around home I dont need to think about it. Once a week or whenever when it gets low I plug it in. Driving on *real* road trips I plug when the car needs it, which is 1.5-2.5hr, or even 4hr at regional...

very nice configuration.

When Joe Schmo plays something on his audio system, his goal is to enjoy the music, not to reproduce the recorded audio decibel by decibel across the spectrum. Therefore, his tuning target is what makes his ears tickle.

Dead flat on the output system control (ie the car audio app) doesnt guarantee dead flat in actual output, unless the car was tuned to be flat. They often arent. Even if objective measurements of test tones are involved, there's also the issue that a microphone in free air doesnt represent the...

What model (which determines what battery type)

I use for baseline comparison a car that a person might otherwise purchase. For a 3/Y that would be an Audi with supercharged V6 or BMW with turbocharged I6 (which is what I indeed came from). Other more efficient cars arent in same league of performance.

I've survived my whole life doing wheels like this and am still alive. Hand tightening with common lug wrench, which is around 1ft, and using almost bodyweight, approximates to the range of suggested torque. If a car/wheelhub doesnt survive outside of a narrow band of torque, its probably not...

Just got mine with 2024.8.7! (Car was on the update list for 2024.8.3 for a fleeting minute and Tesla yanked it away) The best ive used was a rental Opel with their Intellilux system, because its beam cutouts were so well defined it looks like a stencil The border definition on the Tesla is a...

If its raining it might be windy too. A 10mph headwind wind is as if you were cruising at 82mph instead of 72mph. If that was true, in the detailed energy card it would have told you very specifically “wind from [direction] cost/saved you x%”, along with other consumption information. Next...

L2 and even occasional L3/DC chargers show me 85% charging efficiency. This is based off what the car computer shows as kwh added vs what the charger meter bills for

The reason to use % is it dissuades people from relying on the false precision of the mileage. Thats because the battery capacity is only estimated (based on voltage), and the consumption is variable. Assuming those 2 things are perfectly known — eg “this car will cover 150 miles no matter...

Fluid gasoline quantity you can measure by weight or volume. Battery capacity and state of charge is inferred. Its like asking you to lift an arbitrary weight in the late afternoon, and using that to estimate maximum weight you could have lifted at the start of the day, and how much weight in...
