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

    My son made me buy the upgrade to FSD. "Two reasons Dad"...1. you are getting older and FSD can only help you and 2. Since I will get to inherit your Tesla S, I want you to pay for the FSD now so I will have it when the car is mine. :-) Wow...that next generation is always thinking ahead, eh?

    My Experience With a Flooded Model S in Houston

    I am sorry for your experience. This brings up a more common issue; that of driving thru water. Last year in Dallas, on the tollroad, a major rainstorm occurred. there were 'gulleys' of water. I was hesitant to keep driving, but at 55 mph and cars pushing at my tail, I ployed on. While I would...

    Any Hesitations Taking Kids on Long Road Trips?

    I am speaking from having the 3rd (rear facing) seat option: In my opinion, several factors for taking children on a long trip. Having my granddaughter throw up due to the heat is one consideration. It will also get very boring not being able to see the scenery while sitting in the back...

    Child Safety and Rear Facing seat (SAFETY CONCERNS)

    I agree that with the front seat law for being buckled up and thus the alert is a great reminder for adults. It is also a law that ALL children under age 8 years old be buckled in appropriate safety seats. I guess my point is that if I paid the optional charge to install the rear facing safety...

    Putting the car in Park while driving

    Woof, I am interested in your comment about an "advanced driving class". I have recently moved to TX from KS. The drivers in Texas are much different. I will let you figure it out. I would like to take an "advanced driving course"...not the AAA Auto Safety class or the Highway Patrol Active...

    Child Safety and Rear Facing seat (SAFETY CONCERNS)

    Yes, a great insertion! Now I am looking for the appropriate fan that a 3 year old can operate safely to stay cool. The Ryobi looks great, but little fingers inserted into a moving blade does not appear to be a good option. - - - Updated - - - If this were just a human issue, why do most cars...

    I want to take 2nd key fob on trip as a backup. Where can I put it?

    I will assume the purpose of carrying both fobs on a trip is in case you lose one. Although you can unlock with your cell phone app, when you went swimming you did not take your cell phone. If you lost your fob and no phone...does you no good to have the second fob in the car, with or without a...

    Child Safety and Rear Facing seat (SAFETY CONCERNS)

    As a very happy new owner (one week), I have some safety concerns about my grandchildren riding in my vehicle. Two issues: Visibility of children in rear facing seats: Our granddaughter was very proud to have gotten out of her 5 point restraint prior to my opening the hatch. I again emphasized...
