If I were Amazon, I would be thinking about whether buying the van production part of Rivian made sense. If the price were low enough, perhaps buy all of Rivian and dump the unprofitable products to just focus on owning and controlling the van production. Amazon has show a propensitiy for...

Usually you have to walk before you can run. Getting to robotaxi will require intermediate steps, as the big step is Tesla taking legal responsibility for the driving. Geofencing might give them a chance to sharpen some skills before taking responsibility for driving in all conditions...

Journalists are available, articulate, know a bit about the subject, and know how to help each other out.

So far 296 Wh/mile with my 2023 X Plaid. Interesting for me is that is almost 10% better than I got with my 2020 MX LR. More efficient I guess.

The app runs on an iPad, which gives you a keyboard and larger screen to see everything. The app does everything on the iPad that it does on a phone. That is how I use my app for the most part.

If you have to ask that question on this forum, then I would say, for you, perhaps not

It would be nice if they moved them to a free parking area.

That is a busy area, but easy access on and off of I-5, and lots of stuff within easy walking distance. A good choice IMO.

I’ll volunteer! How much does it pay?

Oh my! And it is so ugly too! Still, I have friends who will only buy Toyota products, so I guess there is a market for that.

Any updates on this construction? I have a personal interest in Superchargers on Hwy 101

I believe that. My neighbor across the street in California has a PHEV similar to what I had. She has no place to plug in.

No statistics, but my experience was going from hybrid to PHEV, then to BEV. Cautious steps. Nevertheless, I bought my first Tesla after only a couple of years with a PHEV. Had to plug it in way too often to get much electric driving. My brother-in-law now drives the PHEV, and he plugs it in.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/08/21/robot-taxis-wreak-havoc-in-san-francisco-dont-want-them-in-your-bay-area-city-tough-luck/ I don’t see any reason why Tesla would want to rush into Robotaxis.

Kind of like a cuckoo clock!

I would like to add that 2023.20.7 does NOT have FSDb for purchasers with HW4. Coming in a further release, they say.

Maybe he is following a Fibonacci Sequence, in which case the next number will be 8

Disappointment. After a month of the software version that came with my MX Plaid, I finally got upgraded to 2023.20.7, thinking I would finally get FSD 11.3.6 with that. No, apparently 2023.20.7 does NOT have FSD for HW4 vehicles. It says it will appear in a further software version. Bummer.

Just missed it. Was there probably an hour before you, and it was still not turned on. The tech said likely later in the day. I guess he was not exaggerating

I turned in my 2020 Model X with unlimited supercharging. I show six years of free supercharging in the app. I didn’t have to do anything to make that happen.

The competition is coming … and it is the government. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ford-subsidies-electric-vehicles-energy-department-loans-battery-plants-b2cd7703?st=nliv3cyspjf8n9i&reflink=article_email_share

Same problem here. The wait seems long.

I was preparing to ditch this thread as too hostile, but have found that ignoring a handful of posters has made it tolerable again and still informative.

Still stuck on 2023.12.300.1. Paid for FSD, waiting… 🥺

I think they have lost their way. Toyota EV Mimics Manual Transmission With Feel of Gear Shifts, Roaring Engine

I am guessing HW4 is not complete. Future releases will utilize the radar. There may be additional camera placements too. Just a guess.

Well, two lane forest highways, plus through towns like Salem, Lincoln City, Newport etc. No freeways.

I want to reply to this with my own experience recently. I drove my 2020 MX around in Orange County CA, mostly on 11.3.6, and had it engaged at least 90% of the time because it made driving in the California traffic much easier. Sure there were occasional errors, but the overall stress of...

Not much progress in Newport OR recently. If the recent opening of the center in Salem is any indication, it could be a long time. They waited many months for their transformer

It is open. Very nice facility too!

I thought the article mostly fair. It is about the possibility of driving an EV to and from a destination without needing to charge along the way. The author picked the car with the most stated range (Lucid) to try to demonstrate. He does mention the Tesla MS as having the second highest...

It is still being misleading in the text, saying that Tesla will suffer for this with lower margins. They don’t make any mention of how Tesla’s margins compare to Toyota or Ford or GM.

That’s a good thing. People value different things in a car. Some find exterior styling and bling are what rings their bell. The EQS drivers in the video and your narrative clearly value a cushy and complex interior over performance or engineering. They got the right cars for them. I do...

Northbound I5 between Ortega Highway and Culver. I hope that is fixed by now.

This bit of changing lanes “to follow route” is baffling. Sometimes it makes sense, but there are others in which the decision making is an enigma. I used to drive north on I5 though South Orange County. The road is 4 or 5 lanes wide, all going to the same place for many miles. Repeatedly I...

I guess when you are driving it, it does not look so ugly. Just avoid mirrors

Nicely made video. FSD looks fairly competent except for the STOP sign that is attached to the utility pole and way higher than normal placement. Hard to see the fork in the road, but that appears to be somewhat difficult to detect until you are pretty close to it. I hope we see more videos...

Wow. That should be labeled as an ad for Toyota.

Can you supply a link to that article? I would like to read it.

I remember record players in cars. Of course they were all 45 RPM records, and skipping was a problem never solved.

The camera attachment that AI driver uses gives an amazing view of the car plus the surroundings. Not sure that it is practical, but wow the visibility is dramatic.

Just want to have my say on this. I get tired of hearing people talk about how Tesla models need to be refreshed in some way, that the design is old. Those people don’t seem to realize that the design is that way for efficiency first. Second is I see no reason why the design shape should not...

Yes, mine updated this morning

Perhaps they are saving that third space for LIDAR! 🤪

They clearly did not do it by efficiency of design. Talk about a brick on wheels!

Welcome to the growing throng of California ex-pats!

wow that is convoluted.
