Apparently Elon didn't have enough on his plate as it was. Will Elon's role as Chief Twit draw his focus away from Tesla, SpaceX, and his other ventures? We share our thoughts on his acquisition of Twitter and what it means for Tesla.
Since the impression of prospective Tesla owners of Supercharger congestion is that there is always a wait, I thought I would share my experience with my Thanksgiving 2022 road trip. My trip was 2123 miles in total, generally in the eastern/northeastern part of the US. The trip began the Saturday ...
Ever since seeing the first Model X I ever laid eyes on in 2016, I knew I wanted one.. Until recently I never imagined I'd ever afford it. So i settled on a Model Y instead. In April 2021 I bought a brand new Model Y LR and it was pretty much everything i had dreamed it would be (more on that maybe ...
We react to the @Lex Fridman podcast interview with Andrej Karpathy, the former Sr. Director of AI at Tesla, wherein Andrej explains why Tesla removed radar and ultrasonic sensors from its vehicles.
The Tesla Model 3 was launched over five years ago in the Summer of 2017. Since then, the car has had slight updates regarding optional extras and model specifications. However, the Model 3 has never featured any significant changes. Until now.
Been waiting about 1 year for delivery for a 5 seat MXLR. Got a vin assigned last week and made appointment for 3pm on the 23rd. Wife and I decided to go look at the car in the lot on the 22nd. Got up to Loveland and went in the dealer, the SA looked us up and said "hi Im XXXX ill be the guy doing y...
Munro & Associates estimate that Tesla will save over $100/car by removing ultrasonic sensors. @SteelClouds@nebusoft and James Locke discuss why they think Tesla removed ultrasonic sensors, and radar as well.
Just replaced my 2020 MYP with the 2023 today. Here are a few thoughts:
- Tesla got a good trade in - my 2020 MYP was wrapped top to bottom with ceramic, no dents, no dings but unfortunately trade-in values were coming down so I made the call to trade it in. Why?
- My 2020 was number 3xx off the l...
Increased range, increased acceleration, decreased braking, with increased curb appeal... The E2 wheel from ESE Carbon meets or exceeds all SAE alloy wheel specifica...
I just drove my Model Y for the first night time drive in light to moderate rain for the 1st time since accepting an update to one of the supposed "Tesla Vision" builds. Ooooh boy...it's not looking good for Tesla.
Note: I recently jumped from software version 2022.20 to 2022.36.6. The vehic...
Our Feb 2013 Model S 85 delivery is approaching its 10th Anniversary, and I thought I would post observations and battery degradation.
History: We took delivery of our early production (40xx VIN) in early February 2013. The battery pack was replaced under warranty during the first year, and has had...
Close to 9 months now with the Tesla, here are some funny conversations and musings from my wife (It's her car) that made me smile and laugh and wonder if these are things that other couples have experienced going abruptly from ICE to EV.
"What's wrong? You're kind of quiet"
"I drove the 4Runner t...
(moderator note: Added maybe to the title. This may be an alpha or beta release, so “release” is relative. Stay tuned.)
We finally have confirmation of the release of FSD V11. This presumably is single stack; we’ll see, as the question was left unanswered. I guess it will still be called FSD B...
After 30 years of accident free driving, with not so much as a fender bender to my name, the winning streak finally ended in torrential rain on the 101 in la yesterday. Hitting standing water at 60mph I started a slide I couldn't control and ended up spinning rather gracefully sliding backwards and ...
It’s the time of year when this forum starts to get new winter related posts. Thankfully there is already a wealth of information in the forum.
We’ll take it as read that few people read the manual and [URL='https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_gb/GUID-F907200E-A619-4A95-A0CF-94E0D03BEBEF.ht...
There have been several reports and videos demonstrating how 2023 Tesla cars without the USS(proximity sensors) will not come with any proximity functionality.
Now, it is certainly possible that these features will be re-enabled by using the cameras instead of the sensors in a future update. Howeve...
I used to keep Sentry activated whenever I was parked but for quite some time now, I have switched it off due to battery drain (particularly on longer trips away where I'm trying to avoid recharging away from home as the drain can reallly affect the range). As an aside, I also feel the flashing of t...
tl;dr In the most extreme dark heavy rain, without human visibility of lane lines or even the road surface, AP never gave up. Auto wipers are near perfect, auto hi/lo beams also really really good.
I've been extremely critical here over the past year of al...
