So how bad are the changes? Are they as bad this guy says? Because if true, that basically sounds unusable.

I don't see a parameter for "wearing a mask alone in his own car."

After reading all 23 pages of this thread with interest, here are a few takeaways from a Tesla outsider: You guys (and maybe a few gals?) who dropped $12k on "Full Self Driving" are interesting. I get the cool factor, I really do, but that is a lot of cheddar for something that requires you to...

That sounds like a safety feature working as intended...

That's interesting. The nagging is dynamic? Like my ex-wife!

I have no doubt it’s really cool. But if you’ve got to keep your hands on the wheel… what is the point? What do you actually do? Put your hands on the wheel heavily enough to satisfy the torque sensor, but light enough to not interfere with the autosteer? Touch the wheel once every 30 seconds? I...

That’s a good question. I initially scoffed at the idea of BlueCruise because “so what - they want me to pay so I can put my hands in my lap instead of on the wheel?!” Then I started using BC (version 1.0) and it changed my mind. Being able to just sit comfortably with my hands in my lap as...

@uscbucsfan @sublimejackman @EVNow @MP3Mike re the last page of discussion… If you have to keep your hand on the wheel (and my guess is that’s gonna be a more stringent requirement after this recall update), what is the point of FSD? Especially at that price? To me, it sounds like monitoring a...

Sounds like what Mach E Vlog reported were not actual instances of "phantom braking" as folks with more Tesla experience use that term. But if what he experienced is not a bug, then it's a really strange "safety feature." That seems to be the more important point, rather than quibbling over...

Thank you. This is all very interesting. I also read the description of the various offerings here: https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot So even basic Autopilot supposedly has "Autosteer" (per the linked material), but what Autosteer is seems to depend on whether you've got AP, Enhanced AP...

Can anyone please explain, to someone highly unfamiliar with the Tesla driver assistance ecosystem, what any of this means? I am confused by all the terminology. Autopilot, Autosteer, Full Self Driving. I thought AutoPilot was basically just what we Ford folks call "lane centering" plus...

Sorry, I don’t have the energy to answer these insanely long posts. You and Motor Trend are obviously right. C&D and my own eyes are obviously wrong. The MY is clearly the superior vehicle. Glad we’ve settled this.

I already answered your question.

I didn’t say they were inferior. In fact I never mentioned them at all. People are entitled to come to different opinions. The Motor Trend review actually acknowledges many of the pros and cons to both vehicles - it simply puts greater weight on different things, particularly the charging...

It is a much better looking car than the “understated” MY. I can’t speak to EVGo. Don’t have those in my area. The EA and ChargePoint stations have worked great for me, now. Not initially. The larger point is that the Mach E was never going to win a race like this even if the chargers had...
