    Does the Cybertruck rust? | Tesla Motors Club Podcast #60

    Loved this video, saw one at the Galleria Mall in Fort Lauderdale Florida. What a cool machine technology, function, etc... Loved the integrated Top Cover that you push a button on and bed is covered. Was so sold I was literally ready to buy, despite the fact not really a silver car lover...

    Spotted!

    Looking at the truck and the Temp from Texas this might be the same one I spotted in South Florida with a Texas Temporary Tag on it.

    22" Rims and Pirreli Scorpion Zero AS Sell or just Keep

    I made the switch to 20's and I can say after 4000 miles I am loving the change. Car not so rough now on roadway. Looks good also.

    Warped rotors

    I heard this once on car talk. Person kept going through brake pads. Finally said it happens every time we take the Truck over the mountains. The brakes warped because they were Extremely hot and washed right after. Having water hit your brakes when they are hot will warp them, but they have...

    22" Rims and Pirreli Scorpion Zero AS Sell or just Keep

    No these are the original Silver 22" Rims that came with the Tesla Model X 2016.

    22" Rims and Pirreli Scorpion Zero AS Sell or just Keep

    I will update you on the ride. As to payment, I went with the same Pirelli Scorpion Zero's that I have on my car, Tax Tire Change was around $2,800. But remember I bought all new tires because it had Continental OEM's that were worthless.

    22" Rims and Pirreli Scorpion Zero AS Sell or just Keep

    Thanks for information, brand new with only 6k, cool. Did you like making that change to the smaller wheels.

    22" Rims and Pirreli Scorpion Zero AS Sell or just Keep

    Thanks for the reply, yes I can post them in marketplace here, big market, South Florida. That said, the question was more is it a high enough value or should you just keep them with the car.

    Towing Experience with Model Y

    Great information, just reduced my tire size on a 2016 X for better towing and cannot wait to tow now, was worried, but love your stats. I suspect the Trips will be much longer then my traded in F250 Platinum Big Red I loved, but money is money, and $1,200 a month on gas vs Free Super Charging...

    22" Rims and Pirreli Scorpion Zero AS Sell or just Keep

    I made the decision to change my 22" Factory Rims and Pirelli Scorpion Tires, just purchased in 2022 with 3/4 tread left, don't drive on them much. Decided to put 20" on with same Pirelli Scorpion Tires. My question is not about this decision specifically, as I wanted the extra Tow Capability...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    Agreed, it was a big factor. But I am going with a 22" to 20" Tire/Wheel Change and my model X gets around 250 mi. Charge times are excruciatingly slow. Was close for this reason, but then realized most my charges are in town, and it would cost 65K-70K for a new X and I coach so I need the 7...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    64k not including tax tag. Both Red model x beige wood grain upgrade. I use Serius so the $10 falls under the come on guys category, just stupid, should transfer. Argh I think since I love the car now, not seeing something making me spend 66-70k
  13. BrendonHolt

    Finally! Free Unlimited Super Charging FUSC can be transferred

    One other big time question, I park in a parking garage and love the ULTRASONIC SENSORS, how does the 2023 work with distance to concrete pillars and walls in a parking garage.
  14. BrendonHolt

    Finally! Free Unlimited Super Charging FUSC can be transferred

    This was really difficult for me to review. First, my 2016 Model X only has 51,495 Miles on it, has been kept in a garage and I just redid the Ceramic. It is as gorgeous now as the day it was new, might be better as I have corrected all paint issues. I spoke to my wife yesterday, and stated...

    Model X 20" Rims for Sale w/tires

    Are these still out there. Have 2016 Model X looking to remove 22" wheels. Cost? Shipping Cost to Florida? DM Me or post. Thanks.
  16. BrendonHolt

    Swap 20” 2023 Model X rims for 22”

    Damn, too bad I am on the other side in South Florida. Looking to making the switch but don't meet your requirement for 22" but have a set with very little miles, 47K on the odometer and would love 20" rims.

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Yes I have, that said, let me count on this thread alone, you have attacked or been sarcastic to two separate users, me and Stop. Is it the intent to totally discount what others say. That will clearly get you well past your 7.6K posts but will not go a long way to having civil discourse on...

    Why are TACC, AP (and ?FSD) so bad?

    Agreed, no worries this is just a stupid idea that the engineers I am sure have already pointed out and multiple sensors and many more of them will be the answer for safety. As will be configurations and improvements on how it handles the 1000's of odd ball possibilities that happen all the...
  19. BrendonHolt

    Why are TACC, AP (and ?FSD) so bad?

    Thank you, as the old expression goes it's not rocket science. The Engineer will answer, rocket science not that difficult. Learning how to drive an automobile with Humans is a much more complex problem with many more variables. Love this post.
  20. BrendonHolt

    Why are TACC, AP (and ?FSD) so bad?

    ` I don't care about the regulatory aspects, to me it is more about the Technology being perfected for the good of all as driving clearly at some point would be safer if Humans do not drive. So as to my asperations/wishes/wants. I want them to get it right and Autonomous driving to succeed...

    Why are TACC, AP (and ?FSD) so bad?

    EVERYONE drives on the interstate and can be distracted while in the flow of traffic. Or simply it is raining and the tires are not 100% or oil on the road. Or over 100 other issues. In the end, slamming on your brakes on the highway is bad if the car does it or the human. the car should be...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    FSD vs Non-FSD driving does statistically have some studies that show Tesla's are safer with FSD on then off. The issue is that is very conservative, which in the end causes the car to do things Humans would never do, causing others to have an accident. Like I said if everyone was on FSD, the...
  23. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Did a post on this before, the math is simple here. There are 105 Million Vehicles on the Road in the USA alone. Worldwide there are 1.1 Billion Registered Cars, but not all are on the road. There are like 400,000 registered FSD Users, all of which, are mostly not using it. So yes...
  24. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Ok, but someone has to use it, some of the issues that show up in beta clearly look to be alpha. That said, at least an answer to the question. Basically, internal employees test this on specific Tesla's.
  25. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    The analysis to human drivers is always a go to in this argument. I have put out the statistics and showed based on the amount of Human Drivers and the actual accidents, we avoid them very well over all. This argument avoids the real issue in my opinion, and that is that FSD is in development...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    I cannot ask for my money back because I did not purchase the FSD, I am using enhanced autopilot in the Model 3 and Mobile Eye, which I love on My Model X, older version. My point remains that they should not charge for it, they should perfect it and put it in production and if they don't have...

    SiriusXM Volume Scratchy

    Just put Sirius in my Model X 2015 with MCU 2 (Intel Atom) I believe. The installation was like $500usd. Moved my subscription then had Audio, got in the car the next day and had the stations but no Audio. Had to do a full system reset holding the two buttons down, on reboot the Audio worked...

    Why are TACC, AP (and ?FSD) so bad?

    Agreed, we did test this on my Wife Model 3 and by expanding distance, when she is driving she is in Chill Mode and the Phantom Braking is greatly reduced in our opinion.
  29. BrendonHolt

    Why are TACC, AP (and ?FSD) so bad?

    I agree wholeheartedly. My wife has a Model 3 2021 and it has Enhanced Autopilot and it has phantom braked on the highway three times. It has the Radar, USS and Camera on the side and front. I have a Tesla Model X 2016 FUSC and with the Mobil Eye and use the TACC and Lane Keeping and...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Wow, not one answer on why they don't call it Alpha? Not a pointer to the Alpha Users before Beta? My experience, they put Alpha Software on peoples cars, then expect them to treat it as Beta, then it does eradict things, then some people here try to split hairs over what modules/modes...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    This fighting is really sad. The fact is the Cars have major issues, what technology causes it is irrelevant. In the end it is very dangerous to count on regardless if you are going 5mph or 100mph. Frankly, Elon should give everyone the money they spent on FSD and ask them to be Beta Users for...

    Wife replacing BMW X3M40i - looking at Model Y or BMW iX3 - decision time!

    My Tesla "Used Inventory" buying experience

    We did the same, I totaled my wives 2018M3LR RWD and purchased through Tesla. Wanted an older one for Primarily cost with loss of Radar and USS also contributing, could not be happier. 2021 M3LW Red like her original only better. $47K plus Delivery put us at $49K. Same car with the discounts...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Well that would be unfortunate for them. Like the data they are collecting, it could be valuable information. With that point in mind, I guess this forum and debate is mute, as like you said, this whole conversation is irrelevant and our opinions/views worthless to them.
  35. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    A very telling position from Tesla is by default true. In the argument about LIDAR. "Do you have the fleet or not" To this end tesla is way ahead, they have over 300K cars with it installed and around 5K users that are very intense on using and testing it. But the FSD and cars/fleet record...
  36. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    He starts off with the basics, supply chain issues, lack of development resources to incorporate, bloatware and making the code bigger. Yes false readings and other issues aside, it takes a lot of development to incorporate all these extra sensors. As a long time Software guy in the industry...

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    WHO IS GOING TO BE THE PERSON THAT TELLS ALL THE PEOPLE WITH THE 2023 AUTOMOBILES THAT THE FINAL FSD 1 YEAR FROM NOW DOES NOT WORK ON THEIR CAR. More importantly, the consumer has been told by people like me the Tesla is a great car, they buy it on word of mouth, then it does not deliver...
  38. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    50K is a lot to throw away, so the line to me is easily at 1K I buy android also, for that reason. Some people have spent 150K for these cars. You basically agree that it is ok for consumers to buy a car with the promise that as they update FSD it will be available to them, but then agree that...
  39. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    I think a name change is in order, Enhanced Autopilot + would suffice. In reality, people buy it and pay 15K then as this thread is about turn it off. Turn it off and confused by features. Some have said, simply ask for your money back on the FSD, but we all know it is not that easy with...
  40. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    And it should be. Frankly, overtime it can be, but lots of variables.
  41. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Yep sticking with Full Self Driving needs to be Full Self Driving. The goal is autonomous vehicles. It is a Tesla Goal Also. They should have rolled it into Enhanced Auto Pilot. If it is truly Beta they could have just put the features in there instead of offering something they don't...
  42. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Here Here, but we talk with our wallets. Went into the Fort Lauderdale Tesla Dealership to look at 2023. I total my wife Tesla 3 LR RWD and decided on 2021 with 18K miles, with USS and Radar. Many would argue that for the price difference we should get new. Used had Enhanced Autopilot and...
  43. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    This is a true statement. They have a lead, but not significant lead, commercial vehicles are getting ahead of the curve. Really cool how it sees the traffic signs, and light colors. Obviously Vision is critical technology, and Musk is correct it can be used for a significant advancement in...
  44. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    One last point, the goal is SELF DRIVING, not HUMAN ASSISTED DRIVING. With that goal in mind, yes the car has to see more then the human does, it has to be BETTER then the Human. So yes, the Car needs to have Technology to make it see things that the human cannot, and calculate actions of...
  45. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    Reality, my wife had Tesla with FSD, frankly, reality is that you have many more posts then me, hopefully, you are not so much smarter then everyone you post against, since obviously this is not a discourse of wit.
  46. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    I find your positions rather aggressive and frankly repetitive, I will bail now. You seem to state reality, reality is FSD AIN'T THERE and thanks for playing, but really dude, if we don't agree with you does not mean you are right.
  47. BrendonHolt

    After 5-weeks, I turned FSD Beta off!

    As to Snow, this makes the point that cars that drive themselves have many limitations. Humans do a lot when driving, some good and some not so good. But we can drive in Snow and make it to our destination, albeit, not always with all our wits about us.
