You do realize that article is satirical, right? But hey, if you don't like Wikipedia, how about Webster's dictionary: Definition of socialism any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and...

"Socialism is a political, social and economic philosophy encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership[1][2][3] of the means of production[4][5][6][7] and workers' self-management of enterprises." Government services are social welfare, a completely...

"End to end" security doesn't mean secure. So the communications between the phone and the garage door opener is secure, fine, okay, that's cool. It doesn't mean that Chamberlain's security on their cloud service side is any good. In fact, quick Googling has shown instances of poor security on...

Here are a couple of links with details, starting with an Engineering Explained video: Also a Tesmanian article: Tesla Model 3 Called Best EV Daily Driver by Christian von Koenigsegg Reddit article: Christian von Koenigsegg: The Model 3 is "the best contemporary 'normal' daily driver around."...

It's the "granting others access to my garage door from anywhere in the world" that's the problem. I generally trust Apple's security. It's Chamberlain's that I don't trust. Non-tech companies have a horrible history when it comes to internet security.

Not sure if someone else mentioned it somewhere on here already, but his daily driver is a Model 3 and he says it's currently the best daily driver on the market.

Garage door in the cloud? Hell no for a ton of reasons (I got into a mild flame war over this in another thread). I had this option when I had my new opener installed years ago and I absolute refused. If installing Homelink is that crazy, I'll probably just stick with the traditional opener and...

So I'm wanting to buy the Homelink module but my VIN isn't showing up in the store, despite having one and my car scheduled for delivery this coming Tuesday. Will it not show up until then? No biggie, I guess. I suppose I can wait to get that installed later.

Fit and finish wasn't the issue. Munro's teardown was looking at details underneath the fit and finish, like the body frame and such. It's not something you'll be able to notice unless you literally take the car apart, piece by piece.

I'd argue you're not even 100% right, though you're closer to the target. You are completely right that socialism isn't the government passing laws and regulations. Socialism isn't even the government providing services (such as police, fire department, military, like you mentioned). It's the...

I would have bought a used Model 3 if I could have found one, but haven't had much luck with any that seemed worth my while. So I went with new. I generally prefer buying certified pre-owned whenever possible, though. Both my previous cars were CPO. I even contemplated buying a CPO Model S, but...

The Tesla ones are apparently produced by Weathertech for Tesla. The shipping labels on the boxes also seem to give the same impression. I've got mine sitting in their boxes still, waiting until I get my car on Tuesday.

Okay, so round it off to about 1 mile/hour for my model to be safe... Works for me.

I'm getting my new M3 next week, but I have a couple of weekend trips coming up where I'll have the car in a parking garage without any charging available for said weekends. If I were to have Sentry mode enabled during those times, how much battery drain would I be looking at?

I've seen some reviews of minivans where there is a back seat camera that lets the driver see what's going on back there on the main infotainment display. Usually you seem to see it in minvans and other family vehicles where you could have small kids acting up in back. I wonder if the field of...
