I don't think the Slacker bitrate has anything to do with the bluetooth bitrate.

Looks like someone on Reddit found an even funnier example. Sort of NSFW: It would be so much simpler for Tesla to just grab the album art from my iPhone... but it chooses to do this! Family in the car was not amused. • r/teslamotors

Tesla automatically picks album artwork for music/podcasts/audiobooks that are playing over bluetooth. Whatever algorithm they use to do this is completely nuts, even after the V9 update. I'm listening to an audiobook about the fall of the Roman republic, and it displays the cover art from...

I've never ridden in an older Tesla that has real leather, but I like the feel of the vegan leather in mine. I assume they did away with real leather in an effort to be more eco friendly. It's hard to claim to be the world's most environmentally car company when your cars have seats covered...

The full wrap was about $4800 after a 25% discount they were giving out for all Teslas last month. I believe the normal price would have been about $6500. I also had it ceramic coated, which cost another few hundred.

Plaid speed is faster than Ludicrous speed. the 2020 Roadster is going to have Plaid mode:

I think I actually like the contrast between the satin red and the silver wheels/chrome trim. Making the wheels red would be a little too over the top for my taste.

Looks like they don't have white or MCR. I wonder if signature red would be adequate for small touch ups on multicoat red.

The ultrasonic sensors are not covered. I believe they used pre-cut templates for the front and read bumpers that already have small holes cut out for the sensors.

I don't see it. You might be seeing a weird reflection in one of the pictures.

I just got my car back from XPEL Austin today. They did an awesome job on it. This is the first red Tesla I've seen with XPEL Stealth, and I think it looks great with the satin finish.

That's an option I'm also looking into.

My wife and I are thinking of buying a Model 3 (day 1 reservation, already got invite to configure). She doesn't want to buy it without driving one first, so I'm looking for someone in Austin who will let us drive theirs for an hour or two. In exchange, you can drive my 2018 Model S P100D at...

I just got the same one. I like it. They come in 2-packs on Amazon if anyone is looking: https://www.amazon.com/Sunower-Silicone-Chain-Packs-Holder/dp/B076FXCRN7

They're going to publish that no matter what. Only now, they'll also be able to say Tesla falsely claims only some users are affected.
