We’ve had the same issues with our 2022 SR3 but not our 21 MY. Our 3 also has issues with phone connecting (esp playing music over Bluetooth).

Immigration.

Perhaps the Tesla driver hit the brake instead of the accelerator when the car phantom braked. They wouldn’t be the first driver to do that, unfortunately. Regardless, the drivers behind were following too close and driving too fast.

This correction needed to happen. The Y and 3 were overpriced, and that coupled with the anti-Tesla sentiment from Elon’s antics led to soft sales. Car companies give discounts. Sometimes it’s through price decreases and sometimes it’s through 0% financing. We bought a Toyota in 2016 and with...

After his purchase of Twitter, the talk was about how Elon was going to destroy Twitter. Instead, he’s destroying Tesla as a brand. Twitter will do just fine since its business model is based on engagement and people love to be outraged. Tesla benefited from an inflated valuation in part by the...

To add to the anecdotal evidence, I have a friend whose hybrid Hyundai burst into flames in a restaurant parking lot in LA.

Emily Dickinson used it and she was following hundreds of years of usage. The ship sailed in the 14th century. Adapting to use a person’s preferred pronouns is a simple, polite thing to do. True, politeness is seen as an affront to some — it cuts into their right to be an ass, after all! — but...

Actually English has the singular “they,” which is quite useful in exactly the situation you’re describing. Here’s a little article from Websters about it and its expanded use today: Singular 'They'

That supercharging is worth more than $500. Tesla is charging .53/kWh in SoCal, twice as much as EA and home charging. Even after Elon is gone, Tesla will have to deal with the stink his bad reputation leaves behind. A lot of us bought Teslas despite our dislike of Elon, and that was before his...

The thing is we don’t all agree on how the money should be spent. We will never have full agreement on what is best to do. So instead we have to try our best to elect people who have some wisdom and perhaps aren’t completely self-absorbed and actually have the overall community’s interests in...

Since he can never be president, maybe he will try to be the puppet master. Can't be VP, so no Cheney-level of puppetry, but maybe like Wolfowitz or Rumsfeld. If he were Sec of Defense, I could see him renaming all of our warships Boatie McBoat Face. He's got the sophisticated humor of...

If most journalists and news orgs move to post.news, Twitter will become irrelevant, in my opinion. Media report tweets because media writers spend all their time on Twitter. Once they move, Twitter will become a has been. Might happen! I am with Jaron Lanier on Elon and his Twitter fiasco...

Our 2021 Y is quiet and comfortable. Too bad they lost out on a great ride!

Dows he address climate collapse and environmental catastrophe? How these relate to population and political and economic resilience?

Hey, more great news coming on climate thanks to Elon's party: Republican Drive to Tilt Courts Against Climate Action Reaches a Crucial Moment So is the pro-population stuff because he knows more children will die prematurely from pollution now that his party is stacking the courts with judges...
