What are you all using voice commands for? I found it to work like garbage. “Fold side mirrors” turns into “old side mirrors”. Only one letter off. System is too stupid to map that to a real command.

Wondering how the MYP does in the sand? I'd like to drive it to a house in outer banks NC that requires a few miles of beach. There are tons of cars on this beach, though mostly pickups, jeeps and the occasional CUV or Subaru. I found some successes, and some fails on YouTube. Does anyone have...

Yup. But I enjoy this kind of thing, saved maybe $35 and have extra PPF now. Here’s my door panel template for MY

It is hard, due to the shape of the gradual curve on the door edge. The difficulty is not the cut, but getting the right size and shape templated. I used a Cricut to do my cutting. I produced a vector template, cut it into a roll of parchment paper to check fit. It took about 5 iterations, then...

It blows my mind that such a feature could use so much power but I get about the same. I'm assuming that this is because a much larger-than-necessary computer is running to handle inputs from numerous cameras/sensors, and is probably poorly optimized for that type of work. 7% is, after all...

This is just a sneaky way to increase the car's price by $400. Newcomers who haven't been following the price/package may not notice or care much. It's the primary way I charge at home and I consider it a must-have accessory. It's useful when traveling to family/friends or to airbnbs, often in...

I did my own door PPF, and since I had a Cricut, I just bought the PPF as a roll and then created my own templates and had it cut them out. All in it took a couple hours, mostly for perfecting the template, but cost was around $20 and I have plenty of extra material for more PPFing. For anyone...

I have this leak too. I noticed the water in the trim but since it was bordering interior/exterior I wasn't totally sure it was a problem. Last night it rained hard while I had my car out. Today, ~18h later I went to the garage and opened the trunk. As it tilted upwards I heard a ton of water...

So many reasons: Tesla navigation is lagging far behind Apple Maps (yes Apple Maps) with its robotic voice and failure to give input at crucial moments. For example, Apple Maps would say something like "Take the exit, then stay in the left two lanes" or "Go past this light, then make a right."...

Taycan is impressive on the range and charge speed but also has a small battery and good aero. I was going to say weight is probably lower than comparable Teslas, but holy f that thing is heavy. CT may likely be the same situation. I read somewhere that the polarizing looks were to help...

I was referring to their own network, but you're right there is something... But based on what I've seen in the wild and on plugshare (while intentionally looking into this), the L3s are too few, too sparse, and not ideally located. Not to mention the horrid UX of having to have 3+ different...

I hope Rivian can succeed in the long-term because the truck looks great, but it is going to have a big issue with range. It's a truck and is shaped like a truck (a brick). It is expectedly heavy and I have to assume the aerodynamics are horrible. The efficiency seems to back that up, with a...

I hate the placement. Too low and takes my eyes completely off the road. Second issue, when using the 3 sec lane change blinker, the 1s delay to load the camera feed leaves just 2 seconds for a glance. Not long enough to really see what is going on. Third issue is that it's much harder to gauge...

Yeah this got more annoying. Tap the center of the map to show the controls, including the compass.

Thats a different thing. I'm talking about while you have a route, to see chargers along your route. This used to be the button that the POI button now occupies. I did manage to get it by going to ... > add stop > charging. The feature has gotten a little more buried but not any better. It does...
