Get the new car. They charge faster, have lots of updates and improvements. Max acceleration is the only benefit (although significant) to the plaid. New model X will still come with Chetah launch and ludicris standard.

Sounds like sellers are done with the car, and are offering it at a bargain price to avoid doing all the work to make it perfect.

If you owned a company and one of your managers refused your direction, would you keep her?

Word to the wise. If you are out "testing" your autopilot, and see a large boulder on the road, take over manually and avoid the bolder.

When Pearl Harbor was sneak attacked by the Japanese, American fought back with terrible vengence. We fought and killed until they were unable to attack anymore. Israel is just doing the same thing. People and countries are allowed to fight back when targeted and attacked. They need to protect...

With Tesla, there is always something new on the horizon. Buy a new car when you need a new car.

Most Florida electricity rates are much lower than the National average. Just check your electricity bill to determing the rate plan you are on, and charge accordingly.

Believe the Tesla roofs are coated to repel UV. Tesla recommends agains the use of rain repellants, especially on the windshield.

Typical strategy by US to deal with electronic jammers and radar is to send in electronic warfare planes to trigger the devices. They determine the locations and frequencies used by the enemy. Right behind those technology planes are fighter bombers, who will destroy to discovered locations...

Small market, but looks great.

Not many X owners would be willing to rental their cars to someone that will be leaving the country after the month. Would be expensive to handle the logistics of such a long, one way rental. Probably entail pre-payment in full, as well as finding an insurance company that would cover this...

Most all new and used cars are seeing reduced prices. They went way up during Covid, and now returning to more normal. Accessories, like FSD, rarely bring much resale value in the used market. People buying used are more interested in the transportation value, rather than add ons. For most, the...

The look is due to the function. Cybertruck was designed to not need a body stamping plant or paint booth. Both are hugely expensive, take up a lot of manufacturing floor space, use a lot of material and energy. Simply take a roll of stainless steel, cut out panels and fold along straight lines...

We should list people wanting to swap their Yokes for Round steering wheels, and Round wheels for Yokes.

Contact your delivery specialist. Tell him what you saw, and ask for another to be ordered.

Somebody needs to straighten those trees. Kidding of course. Nice pict.

There are perhaps a million human piloted car accidents every year. Perhaps un-realistic to expect a FSD vehicle to never get into an accident. Goal is perfection, but perhaps just being better than human is enough to promote the technology.

I believe that Mercedes and BMW have chosen to put hundreds of extra pounds of insulation in their larger cars, to increase the feeling of luxury. The offset of this is extra weight and lower range. Feel my 2022 X is a great combination of smooth ride and great handling. Just took it up Palomar...

Good chance that with visible damage like that, the tire has lost some integrity. Need a new tire.

In school zones, construction zones and other high risk areas, many people simple take over and drive manually.

Elon has mentioned that they are close to releasing a new version of FSD that will use the central camera instead of occasional steering wheel bumps to confirm driver engagement. That sounds like it would solve your concern.

Some claim that Gaza does not contain Philastines as much as a varied assortment of Arabs.

Same with my 2022. Downloaded the latest software the day before, and got the email approving the FDS trial. Simply blown away with how good it is. Needed to go to Dr. Appointment. Entered his address, and FSD drove me out of my private community, 5 miles down the street to the freeway on ramp...

So many variations of autopilot equipment makes it necessary to roll out the free FSD trials in tranches. Some have radar, some have low resolution cameras, high resolution cameras, different brands of cameras, different locations of sensors, different computers, different chips. All these...

Most all legacy dealerships do this as well. They estimate the diagnosis fee. You are responsible for this fee if the issue is not covered under warranty. If the warranty will cover the repair, the fee will be removed.

Agree. Better is often the enemy of good. Chasing perfection can result in frustration.

FSD is now designed to "learn" these difficult situations, and figure out a solution. This is why they call it FSD (Supervised). Driver is supposed to be aware of how FSD is doing in these situations, and take over when necessary. I would be uncomfortable letting FSD take full control in a...

Help is on the way. Nag was developed to appease Federal regulators. Elon just mentioned that they have a new release, coming soon, that will mostly eliminate the nag. Will depend more on interior camera to determine focus of the driver.

At least we know how a Frog feels, when the water is constantly being heated up.

While it is wise to have matching tires on your car, there is no legal requirement that pertains to used cars.

3 & Y have glass roofs. Will make very little heat difference which color you choose.

US has already shown that Universal Basic Income can work. Seniors get Social Security every month...without working. Poor get Welfare every month...without working. City kids and adults get free SNAP cards...without working. Workers get vacation, sick, bereavement,birthing, strike...

The non-Tesla charging thing is relatively new. Owners should work it out among themselves how to most efficiently get all their cars plugged in.

Both kinda ugly. CyberTruck looks like the future. Surburban looks like the past.

All media has an agenda.

That would mean a total increase in income of at least $2,400,000. per year, for just clicking a few buttons. Imagine some will purchase the $8,000 package as well as more signing up over the next few months. Additional bonus for garnerning $millions more value in free advertising. Latest...

Interesting that most all the college protests look identical. Same tents, same chants, same garb, same signs, same news coverage, and same outrage. Looks to me to be a bit contrived and professionally produced, than a spontaneous student led demonstration. They rarely allow back and forth...

Paint that shows car wash scratches is often due to color than other factors. My "free" pearl white paint shows no car wash scratches. Mostly due to the color. A black car, on the other hand, will show lots of fine scratches.

When I purchased my 2017 Model X, it did not come with automatic wipers. 6 Months later automatic wipers and headlight dimming were added as a free feature with an OTA download. They both got even better over time, with development. This is not unusual with Tesla. They invent something and...

Tesla windshields seem to be little different from other windshields. None of they are built with optical precision, but are two sheets of flat glass sandwiched with a thin plastic membrane between them (safety glass). They are flat float glass, sandwiched and then heat molded to the final...

Factory and factory body work is most always going to be more expensive than using an independant shop. Certified usually means additional training and equipment.

When I replaced my Yoke last month, service noted I was due for a tire rotation. They could do it at the same time the remote service was being done. Ended up taking it to local tire shop, where they did it for free. Due to staggered tires, I could only rotate them front to back.

This is the Elon way. Produce the first batch and send it out into the field. Service will get reports of items that are imperfect. Make on the run improvements so that later customers will not have the same issues. Over time, the product will get better and better. Alternative is to delay your...

Performance means more than just acceleration. Most staggered set ups are designed for better handling, braking, feel and balance.

Our community was hooked up 50 years ago, with undergrounded utilities. Can't imaging the costs to maintain a connection would be very much.

I see Cyber being it's own brand, with spin off Sports Cars, Vans, Smaller and larger trucks, delivery vans, commercial vehicles. The base concept is solid, just need additional variations. Original military jeeps had similar origins. They were utilitarian ugly. Poor handling, easy to roll...

The Cybertruck is not an exercise in styling, but more to answer "What if?" questions. What if you could build a working truck, without a body stamping plant, paint shop, gas/diesel burning engine, transmission, exhaust pipes and multi speed transmissions. Make it bullet proof, more...

Yes...Rental companies tend to do that.

Large legacy ICE trucks have their own share of ugly. Usually it is only their owners that find them beautiful. Example is an F-350 dually, lifted, huge mud tires, bolt on light racks, bed with 5th wheel gear, front winch, bull balls hanging from rear hitch, gun rack, flags waving, huge exhaust...

Rental companies charge high refueling charges because they need to cover both the fuel, and the labor to have them topped off. Would rather have their cars returned with at least as much fuel as when they drove off. Refueling is a pain for doing, so they charge a lot as well.
