Figures...out of all the people on TMC, two TACAIR pilots find each other to get into a furball! :)

I had the yellowing with MCU1 right before I had the MCU2 upgrade done, so I thought I had avoided the issue. However, my MCU2 screen actually did yellow after 3 years and the service center was surprised by that. It was out of warranty, but it only cost about $36 (yes, only thirty-six US...

Thanks for that. Guessing all the people using this unfortunate accident as a means to slam Tesla's UI choice are just going to go dark and not admit that they shouldn't have jumped on it. People with preconceived notions (or agendas) tend to not like the far more common possibility of simple...

Well, I can deny it. People make mistakes, and some are more prone to it than others, especially if they're completely drunk. I point you to the vast well of YouTube with tons of examples of people, sober and otherwise, in the wrong gear crashing into things - and not driving Teslas. Stating...

I think they were more taking exception to your claim of "weigh considerably more". They may be on average slightly more, but not even close to all the crying in the media. I thought my Model X was heavy (and it is), but I looked up the weight of the ICE BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE 450, which are...

I'm sorry your friend died, but since you posted this three different places and never retracted it, I have to qualify this. Your friend died because she operated a motor vehicle with three times the legal blood alcohol limit, not because of the Tesla (and we don't even know what model year it...

From a devil's advocate standpoint, maybe some debris got into the buckle or if there was a previous owner you have no idea if that buckle got messed with. That kind of a pure mechanical failure is extremely rare so it seems more likely that there is some other factor involved. That said, if...

If the car is still under warranty, Tesla's estimate doesn't take that into account. When they actually do it they then waive the fee. I think they're covering themselves if they discover that the problem is due to something the owner did. For instance in this case, if they discover something...

I've thought about that before and luckily the car is smart enough not to let that happen when damage would occur. I believe people have actually put their ICE cars in reverse before while driving - with catastrophic results. Moral of the story is that if you put anything in the hands of...

Thought it might have something to do with the auto select. From a human perspective, that seems to be prone to problems. Unfortunately it's almost worse if any automatic system is close to perfect without being absolutely perfect. Doesn't matter what it is, regular car cruise control...

It's actually her sister, and while sad, she clearly panicked just like others who have drowned in their sinking car in similar situations. But to the topic at hand, having stalks doesn't prevent human mistakes. My wife backed off the road over a bunch of bushes in her Model X (2018, with...

Brings up an important point for anyone buying in that 2016-2018 timeframe where Tesla was improving rapidly. My September 2017 MX 100D came with AP2 and MCU1. My wife's MX 100D from just 9 months later came with AP2 and MCU2. Since then, both were upgraded to AP3 because we had paid for FSD...

The vehicle frame in that video is not even remotely a Cybertruck. By the way, further clickbait evidence. If any other make of car "plunged off an overpass" and caught fire, I seriously doubt the make would be in the headline. For that matter, should anyone be surprised that a vehicle could...

I guess there's more of a difference in the screens than I expected. I'm on 2023.44.30.14 and mine is under "Vehicle" (I don't have a different Locks tab). Mine is the same model year as Riceball777, so maybe it has to do with screen orientation and other hardware. At any rate, I think we've...
