Because the Model Y is ugly?

I'd give it back to CarMax ASAP. You already have bad feelings about it and those aren't going to go away anytime soon.

It's been four years now and even though AP has improved a lot, I still see a long road ahead. These people that are getting in accidents under AP simply don't understand that it's only there to make driving easier NOT take over driving completely. Never expect it to replace an alert human in...

"One of the worst experiences of your life" - Really? You must be very young. Wait until your sister-in-law dies of brain cancer. You know nothing and your "experience" was nothing in the path of life.

Dealers get a kickback from the financing companies they use. I think they can, in fact, not do business with you if you don't use the form of payment they specify, on the other hand, you don't have to do business with them either. This certainly isn't going to create good will with their...

The dilithium crystals are depleted. Warp drive is not possible.

I'm sure they do something to provide as much protection as possible. Let us know the outcome. I'm interested.

That That hasn't been my experience with the smaller ones. They seem to die if you ignore them for too long even if they aren't doing anything.

You might have killed your main power. Li-ion batteries are not made to sit uncharged for a year. I think the manual states somewhere that you should not leave it unplugged for extended periods.

I think we're talking two different companies. PGE is Portland General Electric (OR) and I think you're talking about Pacific Gas and Electric (CA). Confusing no doubt.

You should get a lower rate if you're using a time of use plan. I think the .07 is the "normal" plan. You have request to switch to time of use from PGE. However, whether it will save you any money overall really depends on your useage pattern. If everyone is gone during the day working...

Why did you turn it off in the first place? To me it seems like a good safety feature. I use it.

I've never let my Tesla drive me through anything as complex as an accident scene. I don't use AP in town either for same reasons. There's no excuse for it IMO.

One thing I that I think is worth thinking about in these emergency vehicle cases is how little attention someone would have to have to run into emergency vehicle on the road. I've never seen one blocking a lane that didn't have the emergency lights on. There are usually cones out and...

Any safety system can be defeated, but clearly that is not manufacturers fault and they should not be penalized for that. If someone want to be an idiot nothing is going to stop them except death or jail.
