I have a MY LR AWD, used primarily for local driving, with occasional highway driving. I considered (& test drove) the M3 for the reasons you mentioned, somewhat more efficient, and supposed to be more "fun" to drive (though I didn't drive a 3 enough to have an opinion on that). I went for the...

I know that this is off topic, but -- I like your passenger seat back protectors, if you don't mind, which manufacturer are they?

I assume that you use your turn signals, in which case, the camera shows the lane in the direction of the turn signal clearly. I recall that you need to turn that feature on. I would not trust the animation for lane changes. I sometimes glance at the side mirror for obvious traffic, but always...

I have a late 2023 Model Y which has HW4 hardware.

You can partition an SSD, format the partitions as ExFat, put your music on one partition, and use the other for the Tesla cameras. The music partition will show up on the USB player, and your car will record to the other partition. I use a 1 TB Sandisc SSD paritioned 70% for music files. Just...

I did not see anything like that in my purchase agreement with Tesla, nor did I see anything called an "FL 553."

I am interested in EAP not FSD, and primarily for the ability to change lanes using the turn signals, to make my highway driving less stressful. Given that there is no demo for EAP, if I use the FSD demo on a turnpike with no destination set, will it behave similarly enough to EAP for me to...

This comment is not consistent with my experience. As far as the environmental issue is concerned, public transportation or cycling is not a realistic or reasonable option in most of the United States, including where I live (South Florida); perhaps NYC or Boston, but for the most part, public...

I do not see any point or purpose for FSD (Superrvised) for local driving. If I have to "supervise" I might as well just drive the car myself. I might consider it for a long distance trip, as highway driving for hundreds of miles is, for me, dead boring, but regular Autopilot takes care of most...

A little off topic, but don't forget to include the Chill mode setting during your demo or rental. This is how I have it set for driving around town, and I find it a pleasure. Also, your passengers will appreciate it.

That's an excellent point that I hadn't thought about. Down here it's about 5 minutes to heat the battery and 20-25 minutes to charge. NYC is fairly chilly December through March but doubling the charge times during tht period would not be a hinderance for me. As a bonus, northerners don't have...

I noticed some negative comments and thought I'd chime in with my experience. I bought a MY AWD mid-January. I'm moving in the near term, so I did not install an outlet for charging at home. I have not found it to be a problem. Once a week or so I charge at a SC to 80 or 90% in the parking lot...

I am curious how the Ioniq regen braking performs in comparison to the current Tesla approach. Does it offer friction brake assist? When set for 100% regen, is it smooth and predictable?

I converted to jpeg and that worked. Here they are.

Answering the OP question — where I live (Florida) there is no EV penalty. I just paid $47 to renew my registration for the next year, same as any other car in the same weight/size class. My opinion: EV penalties, whatever the motivation, are barriers to EV acceptance, especially of course for...

I do as others, rear mirror, side mirror, camera. I rely on the camera most. My wish - that the window with the camera view image could be made a little larger.

I took delivery of a MYLR mid-January. I bought it with the Gemini wheels, delivered with Pirelli Scorpion tires. I like the wheel/tire combination a lot. The car feels glued to the road at all times. While I am on the highway I have found road noise to be minimal. The ride is comfortable enough...

Apparently Norway uses use tolls to finance road construction and maintenance: https://www.autopass.no/en/toll-scheme/the-road-toll-system/ https://norwayexpat.com/autopass-guide/ From what I have read, in order to accelerate the transition to EVs, Norway has significant tax incentives...

Well, friend, I suppose that we will just have to agree to disagree on this. Though I do understand your point, I see see a direct connection between subsidies for ICE vehicles (free pollution, no tax on the 20 lbs of CO2 emitted per gallon), and subsidies for EVs (relief from some, not all...

I do not entirely agree with this analysis. Gasoline vehicles cause damage that goes beyond road use as ICE vehicles cause air pollution, including, of course, carbon dioxide. In my opinion it is insufficient to simply compare road use fees generated by gasoline taxes to arrive at what would be...
