    Who needs a roadster when you have model s plaid?

    You could direct pre-compressed air to cooling fans attached to batteries and motors and then out of a nozzle in back of the car. You'd get critical component cooling and acceleration.

    Who needs a roadster when you have model s plaid?

    Sold my Prius (50mpg) to get a Volt (200mpg). Sold the Volt to get a Model 3 (infinite mpg).

    Nannypilot Killed the Autopilot Star

    2020 M3. Phantom braking with FSD and with TACC. Irritating.

    Car no longer opening with phone [Samsung Galaxy?]

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try just turning on the screen and see if that gets me access to my car.

    Model y ordered .vin assigned in 5 min

    They're pushing to get lots of cars delivered before the end of the quarter. Fortunately for you, they just instituted a full year of unlimited supercharging for any delivery before the end of the calendar year.

    Car no longer opening with phone [Samsung Galaxy?]

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S9, and the same thing happens to me. I walk up to my 2020 M3, but I can't unplug it until I take the phone out of my pocket and fire up the Tesla app.

    Nannypilot Killed the Autopilot Star

    I have a 2020 M3 with FSD. It doesn't have the beta version. It does read speed limit signs, and when I'm driving using FSD on a road where the speed limit decreases, my car does not slow down. It keeps going at the 10 percent above the previous posted limit rather than slowing down to 10...

    Auto Pilot questions

    OK, the version I have, which has stoplight and stop sign recognition turned on, still isn't the limited one that makes turns on city streets. If I need to make a 90-degree turn on a city street, autosteer turns itself off. Frankly, the version of FSD that I really want is the one that may not...

    Auto Pilot questions

    I'm a relatively new Tesla driver, M3 SR+ bought in June. I paid for FSD because FSD is the reason I bought a Tesla instead of another brand of electric car which would have cost much less. I've used FSD on city streets, and I've become quite familiar with its limitations (I don't have the beta...

    FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

    The trouble with HD maps as a way for the car to know what's out there even in dense fog or other or visibility conditions is that even with excellent signals from the GPS network, there's still a few meters of uncertainty as to the actual location of the car. With poor signal quality, there's...

    Regen causing unintended acceleration, according to new study?

    Yes, I'm aware. That's why I haven't complained about it to Tesla. The point I was making is that once the actual FSD comes down the line, I hope that the car does its own creeping forward to see what's coming down the road before crossing or turning at an intersection.

    Regen causing unintended acceleration, according to new study?

    There's a mild unintended acceleration that occurs all the time on my M3. It happens when the car is on the partial FSD that came with the car when I bought it in June, and the car stops itself at a stop sign. The car stops where it's supposed to stop, but often, I can't see around bushes to...

    Blog Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software Deployed to ‘Careful Drivers’

    2020.40.4 isn't the update you're looking for. I have that update, and my car still can't make 90-degree turns by itself, and it still needs permission to go through green lights unless there's a car in front of me that's going through the green light. Frankly, when true FSD arrives, I think...

    Blog Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software Deployed to ‘Careful Drivers’

    If your night vision is starting to decrease, you should start taking eye vitamins. They're called PreserVision AREDS 2. You can get them online or at any pharmacy without a prescription.

    Tesla to launch Full Self Driving beta to select drivers next week

    If that happened, the passenger would give the cabby a lousy review, and Uber would fire him.
