I believe Tesla uses all loopholes available in the laws to minimize power usage to get better mileage rating. For example, useful lights turn on only in underpassages and tunnels, and the DRLs are not really visible to oncoming traffic in broad daylight. I've been flashed at often many times...

Depends what you need, cost effectiveness or some particular metric/variability?

I thought the goal is for Russia to fall on its own sword when either the troops come back home to roost or there are no more troops left to maintain or wage war and the women of Russia take over.

It seems "embargo"/boycott is Swedish tradition, interesting story of how they tried to fight IKEA back in the days:

If it compiles, it works, eh?

The one is tried and tested and its bugs are known and the other ... well, tell me after owning it for a year ;) I guess I just prefer the devil you know.

What is Ukraine supposed to think about these, steer away, critical infrastructure? /s

Convince me after you have owned it for a couple of years. So far all Teslas are bleeding edge.

Sell your current car first as soon as possible before its value tanks. Then decide what you get for replacement from a more clear point of view.

Finally, Elon is flipping on Ukraine /s My favourite response:

1) Sapphire might have better traction control. 2) Sapphire has burnout mode to warm the tires for better traction. It's not news that Tesla's traction control isn't the best.

Plot thickens: Is this a way for Putin to pleed/whitewash insanity? Seems too convenient for all the war crimes that have transpired. If this was true they probably bought the media too, and heads will fall there soon, too. But it seems just too far fetched with all the initial dialog...

True, but maybe humanoid drones will just operate things like tanks, mobile launchers, etc. without the risk of loss of operating personnel.

Drones, drones, drones. Soon maybe humanoid drones.

Unless you have satisfactory aftermarket replacements for these, a couple of seconds is not worth tens of thousands of dollars if you don't have them in excess. BTW: There is nothing good in the new steering wheel with its haptic buttons, it might even be a showstopper. At least I am going to...

If you don't expect to get your CT by the end of 2024, or need more wading depth /s Or need a tank turn (so cool):

Bad optics

No, they were told it's not nice to do that /s

I hope the "free world" is taking notes. It would be embarrassing to be unprepared and say "we didn't know" when the next drone superpower(s) arise after this war.

I don't see any value added on highway in comparison to autopilot (assuming autopilot will get as good as FSD when it is all single stack). And I doubt it is sufficiently mad max for my liking ;)

It's simply not that valuable or average Joe, but if you'r into having a ride sharing business, that's a whole different ball game. If Tesla bots would take care of all the grunt work related to renting out a car, I might consider having a fleet, but only if it required zero of my time and...

Record video of footwell as well as the screen for evidence. We would love to see it and you should report it to NTHSA for recall purposes.

Sounds like you haven't driven the X 🤣

I doubt Tesla can control the interest rates, they don't operate as banks for the financing deals.

I have to admit I got mine in a mad Demo discount. Wouldn't pay anything for it, but it's nice to have in case it becomes useful and starts riding my kids to school without me in the vehicle. But I doubt that happening within the time I plan to keep the car (hopefully it's transferable to the...

Closer to end of quarter latest you'll get all kinds of inventory discounts, or more for Demo cars.

Cool. Take Russia to the stone age with respect to Oil refineries and war technology. Leave the peaceful citizens be.

Nice summary, live by the sword, die by the sword:

Nice alternative for the CT.

You mean $77,990? And Plaid $92,990. It seems some serious deflation going on. Stock prices tanking. Prices tanking.

In my previous car I blew (well... wore out) my own DSG transmission and it never felt the same after that, but I guess the more moving parts and power you have it's to be expected.

They might leave more legroom to the rear.

From the sound of it, seems all was good with the transmission you got, except the one month wait time (if they gave you a similar loaner for that time you would have been good?)?

Why didnt you get the new Taycan instead? I can barely stomach an ICE car any more, I don't have the patience for the laggy throttle response/downshifting.

Which figures are better for this thickness rather than the 5.5mm shim?

I finally understand why Audi and BMW drivers don't use blinkers. They must have these darn haptic on-steering-wheel-blinkers. I just don't bother anymore (/s), they work 70% of the time even if I try. I was about to propose swapping the blinkers for the left scroll wheel/button/joystick, but...

It looked like the Tesla can be so crooked it's a crap shoot what you get ;) Nevertheless, an interesting crapshoot ;) My guess is the bolt is that 5mm longer as there is space for it.

Why not:

Here, several pages worth of suggestions.

The red ones are 5.5mm.

Edutainment.

I believe they are preparing for similar build process for S/X as the 2-series car (wouldn't make sense to build in a more inefficient way) and will eventually sell these in large volumes at lower cost. Should come out (deliveries) before the 2 so they can charge premiums for "sigature edition"...

Are they retrofittable?

Extreme form of recycling similar to the stealing of car headlights. /s

I wouldn't buy the Highland for a year since bleeding edge, especially after a bad experience. Thus I'd go for a solid Y.

This is why stories teach not to kill all the baddies ;)

Some good perspectives/arguments:

I hope they don't use that to build dams ;)
