You do realize that even with our hands on the wheels, Autopilot prompts flashing and kicks into disable without audio beep? Some of us have a light touch on the wheel. Autopilot is fooled by a dummy weight on the wheel but fails to register light human touch. No matter how anyone spins it...

Seriously auto-steering (not FSD) has been in beta for nearly a decade! If Tesla is not confident enough to allow hands-free driving on open fwy, Tesla should stop selling Auto-steering option. I am on my 4th Tesla since 2014. I am positive that I will be on next vehicle before auto-steering...

I think of my MX 6 seater as a people mover. Not moving a rare large item mover. As a 7 seater setting, 3rd row has very limited leg room. A 6 seater allow some needed leg room for 3rd row passengers. Plus my dog loves that open space between two second row captain seats.

It is buggy. I can connect to home Wi-Fi but Wi-Fi keeps turn off and will not auto connect or turn on automatically. Not major issue as I get good cellular connection at home for OTA Tesla updates.

Make fob an option. It is worst when you are carrying stuffs in both arms and have to fiddle with phone. You dont like fob? Dont buy it and stick with your phone/card. For anyone willing to pay more for optional fob, let us have it.

Chances are it will be cheaper to pay someone to do it rather than pay yourself to do it.

I am sure once Model 3 production is up and running you can easily get replacement center console cover. They are usually cheap to replace. My previous MS's center armrest wood trim was chewed up by my puppy. Ranger replaced it for a bit over $100. I too never wrapped, used clear bra, or...

Come to Pasadena. No off peak. Always flat $0.21-0.22 KWh....

Compared to GM from 80-90's, they can only improved!

They only have limited numbers of MS for loaner. I wouldn't bother for 1 day loaner. But if more than that, they will be able to put you in MS loaner soon. Just my experience with very busy Los Angeles SC in Burbank.

Like you said, your previous experience with GM made you vow that you will "never own a GM product again". As you know GM now has good reliability and QA/QC than before. You have good alternatives besides GM and you moved on. Tesla has a great opportunity with a fountain full of goodwill from...

Tesla is usually very good about putting you in good MS. If they don’t have one available that day, they will usually get you MS in soon.

Maybe driver survived that crash? Maybe barrier did it’s job? This crash made on NTSB radar as fatality occurred using a new technology. People die from heart attack every day. When someone dies from heart attack using a new technology medical device, FDA / CDRH gets involved.

Bottom line, we can not be certain if the driver had his hands on the wheel or not. Even if he had his hands on the wheel, we don’t know if he was or was not distracted. Problem is that Tesla is trying to shape the narrative of the event they are not certain about. Often I get AP flashing...

Think NTSB is interested in this crash since it involved AP with fatality. NTSB is involved in Uber’s crash in AZ also since there was fatality and self driving issue. AP, FSD, automous driving, and etc are new thus under closer scrutiny.
