UV does not add much heat, but it does damage skin. Infrared reflection is what is needed. 3M claims their Crystalline films reflect 69% of the solar energy. I was thinking about metalized films but 3M seems to imply that metalized film will actually degrade wifi and cellular connectivity! Right...

File complaint with Better Business Bureau ? I am thinking that kind of blinking could cause seizures in some people.

I am just making sure my credit card's dispute department remains employed in this recession ! ;)

Update: After 1500 Odometer miles, the max charge shows 267 miles. Maybe my long 180 miles freeway trips are being taken into account by the algorithm ?

A word of warning about Ebay Tesla Gen 3 chargers sold by Discount_xxx. Tesla has confirmed to me that they are defective chargers that have been replaced under warranty, and they are trying to pass them off as reconditioned usable chargers.

Only 3 genuine phantom braking?? Wait till you get phantom lane changing when the closes cars are at least a mile ahead of you! I find it amusing..

Ghosts have pedestrian rights too! haha! >.<

So, what about an exterior heat-reflecting film?

I used to have sheepskin seat covers when I lived in AZ. That prevents leg burns and feels less sweaty than vinyl or fake leather. Tinting will keep the heat out in summer and the heat in during winter, so the brochures say. I am actually looking into this, but since you asked the questions, I...

Be careful in TACC mode when you pass the car ahead that has just turned off into a side road. It tagged me for a collision warning and torpedoed my near-perfect safety score. This matters bc it added about $4 to my Tesla insurance premium!

NOTE: I am NOT defending the failings of Autopilot. I just read that a lot of people expectations of Autopilot to be close to perfect. Autopilots fail miserably in multimillion dollars airliners, and in Billion dollar Boeing spaceships that have a dedicated team of real-time human monitors. To...

Time stamp it, and send it to Tesla Service. They told me that time stamps speed up the process.

Has your foot on the accelerator, and press it when you feel a slow down. With a little practice, it becomes a no-brainer. That’s what you do to a regular car when you start on a up-hill road.

I don’t disagree with you. Remember to file “Bug reports”. And hope Tesla programmers make updates. Here are a few high lights: 1. On clear freeway left lane with a slight curve to left. It slows abruptly from 55 to 30, then proceeds to stutter along. I let it do this only bc I knew it was clear...

I would agree with you that optical illusion can trick Tesla Vision. I have gotten many Sentry alerts where is is clearly a well defined shadow on a wall that has crossed in front of the camera view. It does surprise me that any engineer-minded person would think that vision is all that is...
