I exclusively hand wash my MY in my driveway, and I’ve never used Car Wash Mode…

How about each owner just shares what their actual experience has been, and let the chips fall as they may. Unless you have actual data, who says you know “the truth.” I can find you horror stories on any make/model car or any product for that matter. And before you point to posts here, remember...

I've had my MYLR for 6 months, and I could not be more pleased with it. I am enjoying it more than any of the 18 cars we've previously owned. Of course the jury is still out until I have some sense of the long term reliability, but so far very good.

Highly unlikely in both cases IMO. Tesla is in cost reduction mode right now, (net) adds seem unlikely. Lots of make/model cars don't have spares anymore and continue trending that way, and most people don't need/want PowerShare enough to pay for it (it won't be "free").

I hope you’re right, but that’s not clear for the US at least. Electric Vehicle Sales and Market Share (US - Updated Monthly)

It’s not just EVs, hybrids and plug ins too. It’s an annoying sounds but there is a purpose for it, noted above. But nice to know you’re the ultimate arbiter of what’s useful and not…

Not sure what you're trying to say, here's the info - been an option since 2022 Tesla Has Improved Braking With A Full Battery! - CleanTechnica Tesla updates car software to start applying regular brakes when regenerative is limited

Tesla and other automakers can’t remedy anything, they’re just complying with our laws. “The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010 was approved by the US Senate by unanimous consent on December 9, 2010 and passed by the House of Representatives by 379 to 30 on December 16, 2010.” “After...

+1. Though all Teslas now (software) mimic regen when the battery is too full, so you have one pedal driving whether regen is active or not. Evidently there was a short period a few years ago where at 100% charge, the car would not brake if one pedal driving (HOLD) was selected - yikes!

My 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid was louder than my MYLR. Most hybrids and EVs are much louder than any ICE car, probably what your neighbors own....

+1. A very good point. And roof sunshades are very inexpensive, even the better ones. Exterior color probably doesn’t much matter for interior heat while parked during summer.

I was shocked at the Cybertruck when it was unveiled, but it grew on me over time. I think the Cybertruck is interestingly different, and the technology overrides the looks for me. (Unlike most people?) I prefer owning vehicles that don't look just like every other vehicle on road, but it still...

+1. There are WAY too many white ones around, since that was the no upcharge color for many years. Worst case white vs black is 125º vs 135º - hot either way. Blue is probably a couple degrees cooler than black. I'd get the color you want to look at, what's 10ºF for summer only. Might be a...

Yesterday I was at a somewhat crowded Supercharger, and while charging a Cybertruck backed in next to me. I don't know if he favored room on the drivers side, but he was so close to me that I could not open my door! I think the spaces, at least at that Supercharger are kinda narrow, and maybe...

Sandy is a good LEAN engineer who's ship finally came in. Unfortunately that's gone to his head and he's decided he's an expert on business now too - he's not. He doesn't even know enough to realize this video is an embarrassment, out over his skis... He's as much of an Elon fanboy as anyone...
