Yeah, I had an incident today at the rotary in Concord MA... Leaving the rotary, there are two lanes and I was in the left lane. The car cut the corner, so we went about 50% into the right hand lane. Then as we straightened out, FSD put us back centered in the lane. Not sure what would have...

Agreed. I have a 2018 Model 3, and the ultrasonic sensors work well. My daughter and I test drove a 2023 Model Y Performance the other day, and pulling into a parking space, she was disconcerted when the car alarmed and showed the curb right at the nose of the car. She was still 4 feet from the...

Here is where you and I are coming at it from different directions. I feel strongly about global warming, and so I want to get as many people into CO2 stingy transport as soon as possible. So, BEV when that can work for them, otherwise PHEV or hybrid. The worst possible outcome in my mind is...

Yeah, I don't get why some EV people think that being obnoxious is the way to evangelize electric cars. I see this a lot in PHEV discussions - where there is a class of EV people who just can't understand that for some people the choice is PHEV or ICE - that BEV simply isn't a choice right now...

Has it really improved that much or are you just more used to it? I catch myself once or twice a week going eyes down for a few seconds to make a change, and then being angry with myself that I took my eyes of the road for so long...

Agreed, I had an 05 and a 18 STi and they weren't as fast off the line OR through a sharp corner. What they were, as someone else mentioned, the most fun car in the snow ever. The triple limited slip differentials ( with driver controllable center differential ) made the car amazing in the snow...

I thought I'd share my experience with winter wheels for my P3D+... I got my car a year ago, when to the best of my knowledge the only wheels that would fit without spacers was the TSportline. Because we get a lot of potholes here in Boston winters, I got the 18" to maximize tire sidewall. The...
