With Tesla, hopefully there are a lot more security checks. I’d assume I can just cancel in my account and it would be credited to the card I have on file. But I still wouldn’t want my exact RN associated with my online persona. The amount of data being gathered everywhere for every reason...

Er…. Not Sure how important the actual reservation number is. What matters is the time stamp on your order. And then of course, your location and how Tesla‘s internal logistics planning determines who they invite. I could swear Tesla already confirmed order numbers were not entirely...

Correct. Air direction and vents have always been manual. This is about controlling airflow. The display tab for rear climate control in our car shows a power on/off button and an auto button, both greyed out. That’s it. Nothing changes if people are seated in the rear or not. Air blows out...

Not sure what your'e asking about specifically between your two pictures. But your rear controls screen is already different than mine. You have a toggle for the rear fan. My on-screen button for the rear fan looks like the on/off / Auto of the front controls. Shows the power symbol and Auto...

We were able to adjust rear vent airflow separately until a recent update, I don't know for sure which update. I think it actually disappeared with the interface overhaul. You are right that there's only one AC system/compressor. But even if we turn the front vents/fan all the way up to 10...

No, it's the Y, nothing to do with a physical rear screen, which as you point out the car does not have. I was saying when you pull up the climate control screen and hit the "Rear" tab, they have removed the ability to control anything. Since getting the car 2 years ago, we've been able to go...

Not sure exactly which recent updates removed all the features, but I've been having conversations back and forth with Tesla service people and now someone on their software engineering team. Am I the only one who cares that the rear fan/ climate controls were removed recently? That's the big...

GM is actively testing three prototypes of the Hummer EV. Two have incomplete front grilles, but are fully functional otherwise. The third and newest is 100% complete and looks just like the reveal mock-up, but is fully functional. The incomplete mules are currently doing cold weather and...

The earnings call a week or so back gave us some little tidbits and Elon had a couple post-call clarifications that I haven't seen anyone really mention here. CyberTruck design has changed a bit, but is now final. Less reliance on folded steel exoskeleton and utilizes some new cast structural...

So, a race style steering yoke in place of a wheel is acceptable on exotic cars, but suddenly not acceptable on a high performance sedan? OK, got it. I think...??? That said, I'm not so sure about it either. How can I lazily cruise with one hand on top of the wheel when I'm now forced to...

I have deposits on the R1T and CyberTruck... Two different offerings for sure. I won't buy the R1T until they bring out their 400+ mile high capacity battery and then we'll see how it prices out. CyberTruck looks massively capable, but will wait to see final design adjustments and such...

If they do a 3rd row in the Y, they will have to make a version with a longer wheel base to accommodate. If they do it in the current version of the Y, it will be two jump seats sized for small children, placed facing the rear. And they may still have to move the 2nd row forward a couple...

No. I said that Tesla's connector is no more proprietary than any of the others out there. In retrospect that is actually a poorly conveyed statement. With the possible exception of the IEC Type 2 connector (EU Standard), Tesla probably has the least proprietary connector out there as they have...

True that. Gen 1 & 2 had 24' cables. I forget that the Gen-3 is shorter.
