Typical Tesla.. after i finally found the option to talk to someone, i was on hold for 10 mins then gave up. I went to the mall. I can confirm that the Cybertruck is NOT at King of Prussia.

Can anyone confirm that the Cybertruck is still at the King of Prussia Mall in PA?

Unfortunately i just couldn't go thru with the purchase. Was scheduled to take delivery this week. I went down Sunday to see the car beforehand. I saw a MSM model Y and while walking up to it, saw a small bowed area on the leading edge of the frunk lid. I said to my self please don't let that...

I take the question to be an open ended "why" in general. Will be getting a MYLR. 1 - Performance - love the rush - that's what hooked me. I love to drive, in general. 2 - Range - better than similar EV's, less than ICE. But i also have a fear of gas prices skyrocketing, so EV could be a win...

The only thing that makes me nervous about German cars are their tendency to over-engineer things and the lack of consideration for affordable future serviceability. The sheer number of computers and sensors and their placement without regard to easy access. The lack of an ICE definitely helps...

My bet is on the human fund.

Looks like research into Tesla's UI design philosophy could end up being required reading for UI designers at other car makers. It would be a baseline for how NOT to approach a design. Then periodically validate the current design at any given time by revisiting this rule.

So the above comment is hopeful. We can only hope Made in China quality is equaled or even improved upon at Austin and Berlin. Plus they are opening another Tesla location soon in my neck of the woods - about 20 minutes away from where i will be taking delivery. This is acknowledgement that...

Tesla West Chester location looks like it will be open soon this year. Not sure exactly what type of location this will be. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/new-tesla-store-location-coming-to-west-chester-pa-2022.235533

I noticed some job openings on the Tesla site were for West Chester, PA.. WHAAT? Which led me to this thread. I drove by the site and they look pretty close to ready.

Just for me to understand as a soon to be owner - the maps issue is caused by incorrect speed limit information? Does TACC not have a simple speed setting? Does it continually have to adjust speed based on what it thinks the speed limit is?

So let's pretend i'm a neighbor that you know fairly well - we get along and have the occasional conversation. I'm thinking about an EV (really think i want one). I'm worried about gas prices skyrocketing, i want to reduce my carbon footprint. I'm sick of my 10 year old car outrageous repair...

And Elon could be the Hurdy Gurdy Man? I don't know, kinda loosely fits. Then we just need a name for the hardcore Elon fans. A loving name.. cause they're cute. Seriously, man, no disrespect intended. I started out that way. YouTube /watch?v=athGt7zEgrQ

Do you have one or have you seen one? That's very encouraging. And then a 3rd generation production facility should in theory be even better. Another thing i'm waiting for, is a side by side comparison of an Austin vs Freemont car.

Well said Sir. These cars affect me emotionally. And when the EV topic comes up, i always start with the fact that there would be no EV's without Elon. They have changed the course of history. I can't imagine feeling so emotional about another car or another company. I think that's why these...

Herky-Jerky?

In the end, Tesla's fate won't be decided by the battle of the youtube videos. Word of mouth will be super important - which after enough time and enough vehicles out there, turns into a kind of "common knowledge" about a brand, right or wrong. Certain images or opinions come to mind when...

IMO, Ben is presenting honest opinions and concerns about a company that makes cars that he loves. I want someone at Tesla to take notice before it's too late. They can sell all the cars they make - for years - and still be on the wrong path. Elon is famous for criticizing companies that get...

Is the Lancaster Tesla location not an option to take delivery?

My wish is for their lasting success with EV's, but to also hire someone at the top that can at least attempt to balance customer concerns with great profitability. Focus on profitability to the exclusion of customer concerns, hurts us. Total focus on the customer, would crush the bottom line...

I'm seeing similar frustrations in this TMC community. It feels like this is a growing problem which Tesla needs to address, but they are either blind to it or just don't care.

And i realize even if your cameras were pristine at the beginning, they were re-crusted soon into the drive. I'm pretty much resigning myself to the fact that TACC and AP just isn't going to work for me. I'm assuming the performance of TACC and AP gets worse as the drive progresses in that kind...

I know you're in an area with lots of messy weather. I have a good amount of messy weather at times also. Sorry if i missed this, but do you clean your cameras a lot? I'm just about to get my Model Y and this whole phantom slowdown thing has me anxiously on the edge of my seat. And...

I appreciate your beliefs and your perspective. I really mean that. I'm not just blowing smoke. But again, i really think there are fatal flaws in your thinking (and Tesla's). You think you have a list of all the factors involved in driving. And.. you think it's just about driving. First, i...

Humans are special and better than computers will ever be, in ways we don't understand. Since WE really don't understand how we do everything we do, computers and software cannot understand. Plus, "safer" than human driving still will not be as comfortable as how we drive, so in the end, not...

Yeah you're right there. The true autonomous driving is only going to be accomplished on controlled roads in ideal conditions with humans out of the way. It won't stop them from claiming true FSD has been achieved 100%.

Oh - except for one thing. Computers will be able to drive safely if there are only other computers driving - humans not allowed - driving or walking or otherwise being in the same areas with autonomous cars. This is what i constantly warn about. Tesla has made it clear that humans driving...

I don't know - you really think so? Maybe a computer can out perform a human in every category except one - acting just like a human? I still say driving just like a human is required. I think Tesla is basically on a wild goose chase with computers being able to safely drive in all scenarios...

I STILL say it's the inability (unwillingness of the programmers) to vary the regen. If the regen was variable and the physical brakes were used some, the Tesla could BEAT the Mazda in smoothness. The Mazda doesn't jerk because when it lets off the gas, it just coasts. Heaven forbid a Tesla...

I guess we don't get ice / snow / salt here.

I believe i'm about to get my car soon. So i will get to check out this problem - or lack of - myself. I saw this comment above and a light bulb went off. I just had flashbacks of me driving on the 24 hr demo Model Y and never really being smooth. I have a theory why Tesla is more jerky than...

Same here. No txt or email yet.

As you know, evrything is pure speculation. I just got my Freemont VIN and i thought i might get an Austin car. If i were either of you guys, i would be way more sure that i was getting an Austin car.

I believe i completed it around 9/15.

Fortinet has tparts.us in the business category. in2survive What do you think?

So the suspicion could be about the tparts.us domain OR the provider with that ASN correct? Would submitting that domain for categorization - to Business and Economy for example, result in Palo Alto checking it out and increasing general confidence? I don't have any experience with Palo Alto.

Just got a VIN this morning. NF373xxx. Will be picking up in Devon, PA.

From the article: Tesla’s next earnings call, on Jan. 26, should offer some more clarity into the company’s upcoming products. HA! How about LESS clarity?

I'm starting to hear it again - "you're not using the car right - the problem is you". Deja vu like with the UI threads.

I'm coming to this thread late. But the yeast thing caught my eye. My favorite sci-fi author Isaac Asimov was writing about yeast based synthetic meat in the 50's. It sounded weird at the time, but he turned out to be right on other things that sounded crazy at the time. I like beef, but i...

WOW.. wouldn't that be nice! That's the great thing about this forum. We get more knowledge than service techs on certain things. Now it's trying to get THEM to take the info seriously. I have that problem with Toyota service. If you aren't a Toyota mechanic, you're automatically dismissed even...

Ugh.. mystery car noises are the WORST. Wishing for all the best luck for you. Keep us posted if you can. Don't forget the 3rd party mechanic option. I know, you shouldn't have to even consider that. Tough to swallow. I already have one lined up for when i get my car. It can't hurt to get a...

I LOVE the Ioniq 5! I still have to go with Model Y tho. Best one for me, all things considered. Dying to drive the Ioniq 5 though. Dying to see my first one in person even.

I'm right there with you. I had a crisis of decision. I decided to keep on with Tesla. There really are no better options for me, all things considered. In the future, that will probably change. It could be quite awhile though. So i would recommend to hang in there and not give up right now...

Also, i STILL say that Tesla really should bring back the option to select regen levels. Of course, it would be buried down multiple levels and practically useless anyway. I have no interest in driving with TACC, AP, etc, except on long boring trips. But during my 24 hour demo i had last year...

Is this really an outlet? It could be a generator input for when they have a power failure and feed something in the building with a temporary power source. Is there power on this outlet right now? I'm NOT an electrician. Be VERY careful. If it's not your business, be DOUBLE careful.

Good info. In my mind, this pretty puts to rest the notion of anti-squeal shim issues, aside from some bizzarre scenario where one brake is never working. Another question - when applying brakes - did the sound change at all? If not, i'd be questioning again if it's a brake issue. Surely...

I know! I don't have my car yet. But i had a 24 hour demo last year. I used the brakes a couple of times while getting used to regen, and that was it.
