LOL... you're asking Tesla to "get the software figured out" as if something important is obviously missing, but what you're actually requesting is a very specific edge case that won't apply to 99.9% of drivers - the ability to give a driver some controls but restrict others. Tesla is unlikely...

What if the speed camera is to the right on an upcoming intersection and you plan to turn right. How does Waze know when to warn you since it doesn't know you're turning?

Good points. I rescind my old man grumbles. If Geico advertised that though and it were true, fantastic! Of course, it's only true for people for whom the math works out that way Just like a company advertising an APR for well-qualified buyers. It's the buyers responsibility to review a...

Also, I disagree that this is deceptive. Some people with expensive gas, cheap electricity, and a long commute save even more than that. They need to communicate with their marketing that the fuel cost savings play a potentially significant role in the total cost of ownership, and they're doing...

Seems like a pattern of catchy headlines with inflammatory content: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/is-it-over-youtube-video-says-evs-are-done.327380/ Unsubscribe. Edit: sorry, my response was harsh. But Tesla has enough *real* problems to deal with that I don't think we need to...

Most companies are deceptive, so no surprises here.

Seems like it would need a destination, otherwise how would it know what path to warn you about? How does Waze and others handle this?

I've been using scheduled departure for a couple of years, never missed the target once. Climate too.

Interesting. Then it's not the PCS.

PCS failure? Multimeter will tell you what the receptacle is putting out.

That video answers the questions... here's the actual adapter: https://www.evseadapters.com/products/tt-30-adapter-for-tesla-model-s-x-3-gen-2/ $80.

A relay attack is probably not that difficult... a pair of flipper zeroes for $170 each is probably enough to carry this out. If someone is determined enough to do this, they'll probably just follow you for a bit and watch you type your PIN to drive as well (with, for example, binoculars). I'd...

Who would then open the door? A relay attack just makes the car think the driver is close by. It can't originate, for example, the "pop driver door" command. It seems like this type of theft would require a person at the vehicle. Which means either two people, or the device near the owner is...

Probably would take two people... one near you with a device and one near the car with a device and to open the door.
