You know what - you're right. Why the heck am I wasting time posting Tesla things in a Tesla forum? If you don't want people generating content (and I presume clicks on forum entries that also contain advertising revenue that help this site stay alive) I'm more than happy to never come back...

I mean... doesn't make it less deceptive, right? Imagine going to Ford and leasing an F-250 and the website says "$399/month based on fuel saved by only driving down hill and working from home".

OK, Tesla fanboys and fangirls... I'm prepared for your "no, you're an idiot" replies but this has been bothering me... Is Tesla not being deceptive with the whole "after est gas savings" business? For example, this is on the homepage of the Tesla website right now. And you KNOW people see...

https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas-el-paso/news/2024/05/29/buc-ee-s-to-open-its-largest-travel-center-in-luling--texas An update... although they don't talk about the Superchargers we do have an opening date for the new Buc-ees!

10-4 on the "tactically" part! I see it a lot like the live traffic information you get - if you see stopped traffic in 30 miles (or a storm crossing the freeway in 30 miles) now might be a good time to find a charger, stretch your legs, get a bite to eat - and hopefully you'll miss all the drama.

I assume it would look just like the nav maps now but with optional weather layers you can turn on/off.

Dear Elon, Please work to include weather radar (and other conditions) as an overlay on the navigation maps since weather impacts Tesla performance. I pay for the data plan and this data could easily be included. Thanks, Chris

That is the Houston way!

Dude. I don't know who hurt you but you need to find a way to forgive them because you're coming off as a jerk for no reason. Feel better.

First of all, I know I'm preaching to the EV choir here so the responses to this might be biased. Second, not sure if any of you watch Cash's videos but he's been going very negative lately anyway. Watch his video (as far as you can before getting fed up) and let me know your thoughts. Is this...

Looks like a couple of Houston area superchargers are offline. They map out to areas heavily hit by power outages following this week's storms. Heads up if you normally travel these routes.

My previous car before the Tesla MY was a Kia Nero EV. I hated that car but at least it let me use CarPlay which, in my opinion, works fantastically!

I mean... for an AI company that makes cars as a side business you'd think Tesla could do this better! 🤣 THANK YOU!! I don't feel so bad now that I know I wasn't the only one doing this! (and happy this thread could help someone!)

Not to split hairs but to for sure reinforce better instructions are needed... that not-button on the screen is LITERALLY a microphone image (not-button) button on the right side of the steering wheel (lower left corner of the screen, to the right side of the steering wheel). Anyway - I...

Is the button (or lack of clear instructions to NOT use the not-button) not part of the functionality? Maybe I'm just old. My first car had an AM radio with buttons you pull to set as pre-sets... so... yeah.
