    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    Or as Michael Jordan said years ago, “Republicans buy sneakers too”

    Is it over? YouTube video says EVs are DONE.

    One other point…school kids think Teslas are cool…even kids that don’t like cars recognize them and value them as a status symbol (but it’s not just about $…it’s about being environmentally friendly). I’ve seen the reaction that my kids’ friends have to my Model Y, “OMG! You guys got a Tesla...

    Is it over? YouTube video says EVs are DONE.

    I’m not going to watch that video but I don’t agree with the general assertion. Most (maybe all?) of my friends that have moved to EVs have never reverted back to ICE (or even hybrid). I was chatting with a friend just this AM that just picked up a Highland RWD three weeks ago to test out EVs...

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    I can totally see that and on surface streets (where the wheel is often rotated much further) it would be nearly impossible to give the correct directional w/o looking at the buttons; I can’t even really skip a song I don’t like while making a series of turns and the wheel rotated.

    Rivian looks like every other truck aside from its headlights…and I might add it looks very nice (unlike CT).

    Elon Musk Discussion - Tesla Brand Damage

    Has she test driven a car w/o stalks? I didn’t find it as bad as I thought I would (and on the highway wouldn’t care at all).

    Tesla Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Litigation, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 22-05240

    Please explain software branches

    Unless your strategy is main branch development in which case your branch will be cut from main and never be merged back into main again (which is the strategy I personally prefer).

    Paint flaws on brand new March 2024 Model Y, Deep Blue Metallic color

    Pics? Unless they really stand out, I don’t think I’d get it repainted (odds are that will look worse).

    Long time lurker, 1st Accident

    I’d guess he needs a new bumper cover and repair any damage they find when the remove the damaged cover. And you need a new bumper cover (and possibly damage underneath), hood, and repaint the front half of your car…not cheap. In your place, I’d just call my insurance carrier and let them deal...

    What’s the point if I have to tug the wheel every 10 seconds?

    I’ve had it on my car since January and have gotten maybe 5 nags the entire time. I keep my left hand in contact with the wheel at around 9 o’clock and just let it rotate while providing enough friction/feedback to keep it happy. When I have gotten a nag, I disengage it and then re-engage rather...

    Model Year 2024 Model Y

    I think this must vary a lot from location to location. My experience picking up the car was 10/10.

    Has anyone else ordered the new LR Y RWD?

    At least according to their web site, the LR RWD also has the downgraded stereo; half the speakers and amps and no sub.

    Snippiness 2.0

    got any evidence or you just going for straight up libel?

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    So then when you said “maybe this was Elon’s plan all along” you are saying his plan all along was to intentionally not get the best people working for him? Doesn’t sound like a very good plan to me. But you don’t need to convince me…I’m the guy who told Tesla’s recruiter there was no way in...
