    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I am not convinced, just yet. So I am not subscribing but I will drive the car with basic autopilot for awhile. Since I only have 1000 miles on the MYLR I feel the need to do a more detailed comparison. I think that FSD is technically impressive. Tesla has a masterful work in progress product...

    Playing USB Music

    My (now departed BMW 228i with Harman Kardon system) didn't sound as good BUT was far more convenient to use. Selection of items was about the same as in the Tesla but it "remembered" the location of a track even after the car was off for days. The layout of the menu's (both the BMW and a few...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    Don't like it always changing lanes when I don't want it to. I do like auto park because I a terrible at backing into a spot. 😕

    Why the extremely large Supecharger sites?

    Conversion NACS plus long term planning combined with government grants. $$$$

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I've been using it extensively for the past few days and sometimes it scares the hell out of me. It takes too long to slow down when approaching red lights or congested traffic. Sometimes it seems to accelerate before slowing. Same thing when approaching a curve or exiting a highway. The...

    Playing USB Music

    I am also new to MYLR. I have a USB connected and it works but sure doesn't seem to more than rudimentary player with some categories. I guess it needs a "front end" that provides the convenience that modern music players provide. Since I am new to my MYLR is hesitate to be too critical of this...

    FSD Pricing

    $50.00 a month would be an instant buy for me. I would stretch it to $100.00 for occasional use (vacation trips, etc) If I use it a lot during the trial period, I might change my mind.

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I like it on the interstate and in stop and go traffic. I have qualms about it during normal around town driving. Very aggressive right after traffic light changes and I am a bit leery of way it handles tight curves (probably just need to drive it more). I would rent it for $99.00 a month...

    Am I crazy? Model Y without home charger...

    I just bought a MY and received an updated quote for charger installation. Well, I need a new electrical panel, have to install about 75' of wiring, need to buy a charger (thanks Tesla). Looks like it will cost about $5000.00 to get everything done. I am looking into one of those devices that...

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    Only had the car for two weeks and have been switching between the two to see which I prefer. I am leaning towards chill mode but...

    When you bought your first Tesla?

    Just bought a MY LR 2024 1) Zero 2) Only at the test drive 3) Yes Going through the learning process. The only thing I hate is that the console USB 3 won't allow me to play music.

    HW4 Phantom Braking

    The software folks at Tesla should be embarrassed that PB continues to be so prominent a problem after all of these years.

    When will Tesla fix the phantom braking problem?

    Marques Brownlee tests FSD on real roads. Calls it “stressful”. Requires multiple disengagements.

    Good post. Post it as comments on the YouTube video. MKBHD is usually receptive to criticisms. I thought that he wasn't very familiar with the system and told him so.

    polestar? serious competition?

    EV Dave has a nice series on YouTube about his experiences with the Polestar 2. Interesting.

    80 MPH limit unacceptable

    I still don't get it. You spend $10k on a "feature" that you can only use if Big Brother lets you. When you can access it, there are restrictions that make it difficult use in a common use case (see EVDave's YouTube video about a long highway journey). If the BSD were free, I could understand...

    Software Issues: Chips vs. Microcontrollers

    Reading this forum and others, I've noticed a significant uptake in software related issues (particular the refreshed Model S). I've done a bit of rudimentary research and it seems that Tesla has moved to microcontrollers due to the micro chip shortage. Perhaps the problems are due to lack of...

    New Model S concerns.

    Those things were called "Suicide Knobs" for good reason. I think they are allowed in all states. Brodie knob - Wikipedia and State Laws – Suicide Knob – Steering Wheel Knobs. Just make sure they are tight (if not...)

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Sorry for the lack of clarity re: Handling of the Tesla MS vs. Porsche Taycan. I should have asked does it handle as well on twisty roads as the Taycan. Will it be a joy to drive on a curvy two lane road? :cool:

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Perhaps too soon to ask BUT does it handle as well (or close to) the Taycan?

    Polestar 2 coming in September?

    I've visited user forums for most of Tesla's actual (cars sold and on the road now) and they all seem to have the same "problems" poor software, mediocre range, 12 volt battery problems and uninformed dealers. The software problems seem to be persistent even after many updates. The Polestar 2...

    Tesla Model 3 vs BMW 3-series - a personal view

    A few months I drove 100 miles (one way) to test drive a M3. The drive went well except the there was a pronounced wind noise from the driver's front window above ~60 mph. The problem was that the salesman wasn't at all concerned and didn't indicate that it could be fixed. I also wasn't...

    Well the Taycan is too expensive for me.

    Mercedes video released today re new EV

    That Mercedes is a beautiful car with all of the touches one would want in a luxury car. But I don't like SUVs, its range isn't up to par and the lack of a coherent charging network are problematic for me. I know that there are a good number of charging stations being built but many of those...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Well, I am driving to Richmond, VA (from Hampton, VA) for my first really close look and drive of the Model S. I have been lurking here for some time and "think" I know many of the pros and cons of the Tesla cars and Tesla company. I have tentatively decided to buy a Model S BUT when I...

    Porsche Taycan Is Completing Its Final Test Drives: Videos

    So it will have a different charging system than Tesla. Looks like there will be a different system for each new E-car? If they were smart they would adopt an open system (or perhaps use Tesla's system, if the business arrangements could be made). This is the sort of thing that demands...
