    Tesla Owners, Let's Talk: Touchscreen vs. Physical Buttons - What's Your Take?

    Really? I for one would not be comfortable using the screen while driving for certain important functions. Voice is often slow in a pinch and not 100%. Turn signals or the horn would not be screen friendly. Scrolling while driving on a smooth, much less a bumpy road is way better with a wheel...

    What would happen if you end up in water?

    You are correct, one needs to wait until the pressure equalizes to open the open door. What makes this particularly problematic is typically a car will flip upside down, so there's that as well.

    I wonder if she knew about the mechanical door release ?

    California DMV renewal fee reduction considering huge drop in Plaid Model S value

    Thank you for the link. Between the registration fee and the license fee, the significant reduction in vehicle value will not make much change on my four figure annual fee. Perhaps $100 but it is not worth the effort or fight.

    California DMV renewal fee reduction considering huge drop in Plaid Model S value

    Was wondering if it's possible to get a reduction in the renewal fee reflecting an approximate 50% value drop in one year? Has anyone had any luck getting the fee reduced in California? My renewal is close to $1200 which seems high for a car valued at $60-$70,000?

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    Camera button. So you can take a picture? Why would you want to take a picture when all the cameras are running all the time? Sounds like a waste of a good button?

    Tesla releases New Yoke

    I am curious what the old horn buttons function is now that the new deliveries have a "normal" horn in the center?

    Tesla Owners, Let's Talk: Touchscreen vs. Physical Buttons - What's Your Take?

    That's been my experience as well. I cannot remember the last time a physical turn signal, gearshift or button failed to work the first time and every time. Well I guess that's good to know, I am also in the 25 to 50% success rate. I thought my failure rate with the touch screen was something I...

    Tesla Owners, Let's Talk: Touchscreen vs. Physical Buttons - What's Your Take?

    Not only is it distracting to find the right area to press on the screen when driving but it sometimes takes two or three attempts for the screen to recognize the input. Does anyone have 100% success touching the screen only one time?

    Climate Change Denial

    For my benefit, and perhaps others, if you already did it, is it too much to ask to show us again?

    Climate Change Denial

    He may not change his mind but it would be nice if someone would take the time to point to the science that answers his questions.
