nah bro, crummy photo in the dark while moving. Full tire tread, basically like new. Cheers. Anyway I traded in for a Model X Plaid which i ***LOVE*** Oh and get FSD. Edit: interesting, based on the date of that post, that is apparently my Plaid X. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting and thank you

A friend driving behind me tonight called me to ask if I was riding my brakes. Turns out I have these two really bright center tail lights that stay lit even when not braking. Is this normal? The lights are bright enough to be mildly bothersome to a driver behind my X. So we switched cars and...

lol! Nah actually it was an old base 2016 Sienna. Obviously the X was way better hahaha. I just really wasn’t impressed with the non plaid performance. Haha! I guess it actually takes a lot of performance to impress me (?) and anything less is kinda all just … nice. though I really did wonder...

Idk my Sienna was pretty peppy lol — but I’m sure you’re right lol

Well carbon fiber does have that now-well-known tendency to have sudden catastrophic failure after a certain number of fatigue cycles… So I’m aware that the Plaid motors (like Icon A5s, premium CF bikes, CF motorcycle wheels, and possibly certain submarines) will need significant refurbishment...

From what I’ve read, yes. I think Tesla maybe is validating it for HW4/external forces are holding Tesla back (Missy Cummings/NHTSA bias etc)?

My reasoning went like this: Plaid has, over non plaid: — Significantly upgraded brakes. — Significantly upgraded drivetrain which may translate to more durability with regular use. — Significantly upgraded performance. Model X non plaid felt remarkably minivan-ish in performance, especially...

As a quick follow up: I am LOVING my Model X Plaid. If you can swing it, and don’t absolutely need 7 seats, I 100% STRONGLY recommend Plaid refresh over non Plaid refresh, having owned both. I did end up (on the day of picking up my plaid X) deciding to trade in my non Plaid X because it seemed...

100% on the yoke; my personal preference by far.

Oh crap. I wouldn’t probably take delivery if I can’t get it within the 3yr free Supercharging window. I know it’s PURELY psychological (worth a few hundred bucks) but dang I really really want that

Yes FSD totally rocks in the city, like really awesome (still there is the occasional suboptimal maneuver).

In his defense, I believe Elon when he says we have the necessary hardware. It’s just that I bet he was thinking of using another way of identifying pressure applied to the steering wheel, not a sensor like every average Joe was thinking. For example, it would be simple to engineer the steering...

Well I like it for the around town hands-free (except occasional touch) navigation, for the red light functionality, for the obstacle-avoidance functionality, for the auto-lane-change functionality, and more (like keeping you safely driving if you’re struggling to stay awake / nodding off), off...
