Took the car on a 20 mile journey to a highway and the nearest Tesla dealership in an attempt to calibrate the retarded cameras. Finally, after 300 miles, I got to 100% and could engage autopilot. It impresses me that it can complete the trip home, but it doesn't try at all to avoid road hazards...

I appreciate the response and attention to safety. That said, you don't know anyone who has died from a tire plug failure. You don't know anyone who knows someone who died of a tire plug failure. We're going to die like everyone else; from heart disease or cancer. Anyone who is fearful of a...

Haven't tried it yet. I need to do a thorough washing first, but pollen season means I'll have to wait. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08MTBHS7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@John in LBYou going to share your knowledge with others, or keep it secret?

You made the claim, so you support it... and I misspoke, it cost me $20. Can I get unobtanium silicon dioxide for that price?

Who experiences "a blowout" due to a failed repair? The only time I've experienced "a blowout" is when my car is hurtling through the air, or otherwise smashing violently into obstacles only maniacs hit. Worst case, the repair is insufficient, causing a gradual reduction in pressure...

For $15 I'm unlikely to get silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide? Is it unobtanium that can only be extracted from indigenous tribes?

I spent $15 on PPF and $15 on ceramic coating. I figure a bit of elbow grease and $30 is worth the experiment anyhow.

Juniper is supposed to reduce cost, which should at minimum hold price. Price is subject to market forces as always. What is the price of a Tesla vs the price of other competition, and the perceived value of each.

Do the ends justify the means? There's a good chance that Tesla would be Acrimoto if unrealistic optimism and unlikely timelines weren't employed. The example I always give is that Elon says FSD (a misnomer for sure) is bargain priced now for the early adopters, but will increase in price in...

Yep, I was confused with the amps and watts. Charging near normal it seems.

I've been snaking the charging cord out from the 30A dryer outlet in the washroom to charge the Tesla, and earlier today it was charging at the 24A limit I set. After plugging in again, it's limiting itself to 5kW. I'm using an Emporia 60A EVSE with a NEMA 14-50 to NEMA 14-30 adaptor. Any ideas...

I'm curious what deals will exist in December.

Exactly backwards. If the state accuses someone of something, it's incumbent on the state to provide evidence. It's perfectly legal to not have insurance in Oregon for a car not driven on public roads. They're the ones the suck, and they suck hard.
