    All discussion of Lucid Motors

    I don't really follow Lucid, but I thought one of the innovations (way back when) was to avoid mirrors and use cameras. Are they "back" to mirrors now?

    Blog Tesla Software Update Improves Speed Limit Sign Detection

    Yes, I am sure....I called Tesla, to complain about that as well as my screen stays "black" when shifting into reverse, roughly 50% of the time. Yes, I've already rebooted the screen twice. Tesla had me power down the whole car, wait 2 minutes, then touch the brake pedal to awaken the car. So...

    I received this update, and immediately noticed a problem: When shifting into reverse, I used to be able to view the left- and right-sides along with the rear of the car, as I would back out. This was in the OTA update immediately prior to the most current update. After applying the current...

    Model 3 Winter Tire Pressure Recommendations

    Update from Tesla service on screen yellowing

    Seats and bolsters are wear and tear items where the W&T can be directly attributed to one's posterior. There is very little W&T on a screen, unless your fingers are coated with peanut butter, grit or library paste, or one rubs their posterior on the screen, which doesn't do either any good.

    Update from Tesla service on screen yellowing

    No question, this should be covered by warranty. This is NOT a "disposable" item, such as tires or wiper blades!

    Poll: Frequent black screen at startup?

    Hi all: I’ve got an LR 3, picked it up July 13, 2018 (yes, it was Friday!), Vin 27xxx. My screen goes out or has a 30+ sec delay several times a day. Every morning I get a 3 - 10 sec delay backing out of the garage. Within the past month, I have rebooted the screen a dozen times. No apps...
