Well, it seems Tesla's very part time CEO is taking Autopilot software development folks over to Twitter for a while.

The issue is not the vehicles it is the ability to manufacture the 4680s. Currently they can only manufacture sufficient 4680s for about one semi per week. What is causing the production delay on 4680s? Don't know. When will the issue be solved? Don't know. But until then semis and...

So, no one is allowed to be a beta tester?

I was in no hurry in the first place and with a consistent score of 90 that works fine. Autopilot leaves way too much distance between cars and is much too timid taking action so I don't use it much. Even when I do use I have to frequently step on the accelerator to make it keep up or I end up...

No. And I do not care what anyone thinks of my driving. I definitively follow closer than Autopilot does and when I pass cars I do it as quickly as I feel is safe. For me Autopilot has not found an acceptable passing situation on two lane roads but the capabilities of the car make them more...

For California commute traffic? Not if you intend to rely on it. Especially a pre AP3 car. You need to be fully alert and engaged 100% of the time knowing that it will work amazingly well until it doesn't. To paraphrase the old saying, hours of total boredom followed by microseconds of...

I will just wait until this requirement is deleted. I am a good driver but I am very assertive and I have had enough of being "evaluated" by anyone. It's one of the top reasons I retired.

Elon needs to drive his Model S from the Fremont factory to the the Nevada factory in the dark during the winter and post the trip. Using V9 certainly keeps you more alert and awake than just driving being prepared for the curves in the dark where it just goes beep, beep, beep take over...

Has something changed in the scheduling charging process? For the past several weeks scheduling charging timing has been disabled and grayed out. I haven't cared until now...

I do believe the phone and the car talk to each other over bluetooth.

ERCOT has no power. After the last event ERCOT sent generators a list of best practices but generators said 'spend money on single event that lasts a couple of days once in a blue moon? not a chance'. Right now Elon is all high on all the stuff that Texas lets him do but when his Austin...

It gets scary if a 3rd lane on the right disappears and a car is coming up on your right side. Rather than keeping a steady speed, and driving in a straight line it swerves to the right to the middle of merge lane in front of the other car it hits the brake. Scares the hell out of me and the...

This color The Lotus Evija - Lotus Cars - For The Drivers Actually, I'd like to find a matching wrap for my P3.

In the USA the NHTSA has sent Tesla a letter regarding 1st gen MCUs asking them to replace them as a safety issue. Apparently multiple owners are experiencing problems going back to the 2012 Model S. 100K plus vehicles are effected. The specific problem in this case is the configuration memory...

What's the biggest difference between a MSP and a Roadster? The former is 2500 pound battery underneath a 2500 pound car whereas the later is a 2500 pound battery sitting under a 1000 pound car.
