I bet BYD's auto wipers work well enough to not be a safety issue. Every other car manufacturer on earth has it figured out going back decades.

This isn't what this thread is about so no need to get into a debate over the viability of powder coating car wheels but... I'll chime in with the counter to this recommendation to powder coat the wheels: do NOT powder coat the factory wheels. There are several reasons to include: it adds more...

Usually, when it's a laundry list of errors that are related to items powered by 12v like this, it's the 12v battery. If you bought it from a car dealership they often don't charge properly or it could just be due to time. If it's the latter, just change the 12v battery and call it a day. If...

Another great example of a solution looking for a problem that didn't exist at the expense of functionality of a safety-related mechanism in a machine capable of serious injury or worse if distractions are introduced. Same as moving the horn from the center of the steering wheel to a capacitive...

Sure. That's also why Tesla offered a round steering wheel option after they said they wouldn't. It had nothing to do with sales.

Share the source? You read posts on TMC? I lost count of how many times someone has mentioned that as the sole reason they won't buy a new one over the last few years. It's similar conversations on Tesla groups on Reddit, Facebook, etc. I don't have a single source where everyone has stated that...

Everyone knows that red on white is not only the best looking color but also the fastest one.

"Correct pricing" for an item is what the owner is willing to accept and a buyer is willing to pay. You aren't the arbiter of that figure. That attitude has successfully run off almost all of the sellers so... Good job?

How DARE you question the validity of BobSmith's claims! 🤣

You say that like I'm not aware they removed them from the 3 or something. Let their sales numbers continue to tank when potential buyers continue voicing how they miss the stalks and see how long it takes them to bring them back as an option. Same ish happened with the yoke. Stalks are next...

$21k is bad enough and I heard horror stories of nearly $20k in years previously but I assumed that was the total cost as in you get to keep the replaced parts. Maybe you can recoup nearly $10k on a battery pack that just needs one of the modules replaced or something to help recoup the cost...

Yeah, who wants a car that can do 0-60 in less than 2.5 seconds in any weather condition and is one of the most timeless designs with the most advanced features the automotive industry has ever seen? /sarcasm Anyone who thinks a cult following of the Model S P100D isn't going to form once they...

I'll state the obvious: TMC charges to list in the Marketplace now (which isn't the worst thing ever, helps to keep the spam/scams down IMHO) but they also seemingly have very little desire to enforce their rule about thread crapping on listings from those who just paid to use their service...

Love it. I'd have a difficult time deciding between Ultra Red & Quicksilver. Fortunately Tesla refuses to bring the stalks back so I'm not faced with that difficult decision. Saves me all kids of money. Thanks Tesla!

If you plan to drive in the winter/snow, look into Continental Extremecontact DWS06+ as it's our favorite tire in all conditions. Feel free to search here as there's TONS of info on the subject that you can use to make your decision.
