I've been testing FSD since Jan 2022. The software improved from Jan 2022 to approx Nov 2022. Since then, it's been one disaster after another, often the newer release fixed a problem created by the prior release. The latest is no exception. Here's a summary of the latest disasters:

I’m on holiday in the US with some American friends. We discussed my Tesla experience and on the back of it, they wanted to try a demo drive at the local SC. So, I got to ride and drive in a US Model Y. A few observations:

- Prices here are notably lower than in the UK once federal and state tax...

Hey All! We got some pretty good exposure to lots of different tires during the Model 3 Challenge, and we put lots of laps on them. Here's my thoughts on where we stand on the current selection. It's also important to note that our cars generally have some fairly unique requirements, as compared to ...

I thought it would be fun to envision what the Robotaxi charging network will look like. My vision for the future:

TLDR: 380V DC global standard, fixed platform sans moving parts and with cooling plate.

Tesla has been doing so many things right, it pains me to zero in on something pretty basic that I think they've been doing badly, or maybe I should say erratically. I'm referring to vehicle design.

I don't mean styling. All credit to Franz. He's done fantastic work with the basic vehicle concep...

I just took my longest road trip for me. From Florida to North Carolina and return.

I want to summarize my experience.

I love the car overall and would not want to do that trip in an ICE car. Here's a summary of my experience.

It's...

I am a long time lurker here, first time posting. I noticed some people post about their towing experiences so thought I'd do the same. I recently bought a Riverside Retro 165 travel trailer from an out of state dealership (I live in Kansas, and the dealer was in Minnesota). I decided to tow the ...

So we just took our first mini trip with our Model Y and overall the experience was great. It honestly makes it so I never want a different vehicle again.

The FSD Beta was worth it on the highway but we did get a warning which honestly was BS. I noticed at nighttime it is way more sensitive to the...

2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD review – graduating from a Camry

Ordered and took delivery on a 2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD back when wait times were ungodly. There are a million of these reviews on here, so I’ll try to give a perspective not often discussed.
