The option would be nice so you can see all your settings at a glance, and adjust without extra steps. I thought of that layout because I don't need my radio/streaming window taking up that much real estate. Easily a half or third can be the hvac. So really, not a big update- just resize...

That's similar to all auto climate settings across brands. *btw, if I turn off A/C and Auto, it is in manual fan only and stays there. It doesn't revert back to auto unless I go back and change it. Are you doing this?

@gt2690b I was thinking about this when driving today. It would be nice if the hvac could have the option to lay permanently under the radio menu- something like this.

Tesla does all their customer equity work at the proctologist. BYOLube

bruh lighten up 😄 we're not curing cancer here

We are on V12.5.3 Are you just shouting at clouds? 😄

@voxel that's good to hear some youtubers have ethics. Marques Brownlee is another one and he has really great reviews- very well thought out and balanced.

yeah it's like a iphone - just hold down and drag what you want into the bar at the bottom of the screen. You can do it on your phone app too. pretty cool. *

The first thing you have to know is the auto press, and many youtubers, are paid significant sums of $ for advertising and/or press junket trips. All legacy makers do this. Tesla does not. You will not get any "unbiased" opinions. You will get heavily biased opinions and regurgatation of...

*Which oft used controls? I have my seat heaters, def, wiper (don't even need this anymore),dashcam on the shortcut bar. I can't think of what is often used that you would have to dig down for? Not disagreeing- because updates and improvements are always welcome and I do really like that...

Necessity is the mother of invention. The reason Tesla has this layout is cost. It's simply cheaper and faster to assemble and eliminates sku's and quality issues. Their strength is in UI, software and engineering. So they leaned into it, instead of trying to play the legacy makers at their...

This is an important distinction. Gigapress, 4680 structrual batteries, etc are all amazing innovations in cost cutting, manufacturing speed. But Tesla doesn't really translate this to material and feature improvements for the consumer. Tesla's focus really seems to be on reducing...

Yes, I do strap down all heavy cargo. I come from doing extensive offroad travel and camping. The idea of leaving a full cooler loose inside a passenger compartment is insane to me. People have died and been severely injured from loose cargo. Happens all the time. I've been in recovery...

These spare tire threads are great but no thought on securing the spare tire and jack in the vehicle. All the effort on superficial covers (which is important) yet everything is loose inside. These things need to be secured. We are talking about mitigating danger and risk. A loose tire and...

I agree. Ford is one of the few legacy brands that attacked the ev market in a productive and positive way. They are completely arm tied by the dealer network but at least with ev's, they are trying to move to direct sales models. In 10 yrs, all current ev's will depreciate enormously. The...

That is one way to interpret my comment... ALL cars are built disposable nowadays and consumers DGAF. That's the problem. FWIW I never said the Mach E was not built to hold up but I've seen the Mach E and it's built as cheaply as other Ford mid range products. Tesla has quality issues, and...

I thought only the 4680 standard range has the structural battery.

sadly that's probably one of the least disposable things done in the name of cost cutting....

You should care how it's designed and made internally. If more consumers actually paid attention to it, ICE vehicles and vehicles in general wouldn't be so disposable now. Complicated ICE vehicles DON'T go for many many miles. That's the point. They require constant and expensive maintenance...

That's the point. 2012 - no one cared about ev's, shorter range, no charging network, poor to extremely poor quality, supplier problems.... There are ALWAYS serious hurdles to overcome for any new company- especially in the auto sector, where the cards are incredibly stacked against it. 2023 -...

Tesla owners quick to predict Rivian's demise... ok.... ANY MITUSA company willing to take on the giant, entrenched auto industry has my vote and hope that they succeed beyond any prediction. That's exactly Tesla's story. Tesla has been marginalized and written off by experts in finance, auto...

at the end of the day, the MachE is clearly benchmarked with the Y. They copied everything and made a Ford version. Key major design and features are all lifted from the Y. Yes, they put 'mustang' front and rear caps on it but vastly prefer the style of the Y. It's just less cluttered and...

You hit the nail on the head on why they didn't make the font size any larger. This is probably the max they can do without having to change or reprogram the entire interface with loosing information, stacking, scrolling, etc to see everything. I really love this update, and that Tesla...

interesting- well this is what I found, - Tesla needs some type of hard connector for service access. good luck, bummer this isn't standardized across all ev's The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are not equipped with a standard OBD2 port. Instead, a console connector is available at the back seat...

In the US, CANBUS or some type of OBD is required by law. Not sure if AUS follows but it's a usual standard and highly unusual because it locks out any manual access to the ecu's without it.

If you're in socal, there are Tesla showrooms where a test drive, showroom and all questions can be answered. Never had a problem with buying experience, no hassles and they were helpful with questions. Test drove at a couple different locations. Plenty of time to feel out the suspension and...

I looked into this. There is no way I would buy any aftermarket powered frunk. The damage that could happen including peeling back at speed, cracking the windshield, not locking, not unlocking, faults... the poor design Tesla has of not reinforcing the area where you press the hood down...

Absolutely love the R1S. Wish it was in the cards...nice review, thanks!

Don't know why you guys don't just get a wrap front plate. Same price or cheaper and CA legal. https://licenseplatewrap.com/

this morning the parking sensors worked right away, no loading. I wonder if preheating 'woke up' the car and loaded everything before I got in. In any case, another data point.

yes, it's doing the same for me- pretty annoying it takes so long. I did the reset thing with both buttons on the steering but didn't help.

Interesting, thanks. Well, it's not loading faster and i rebooted the screen to see if that would help- i'll see if it keeps the slow loading, and send in for service if it keeps up.

The sensors work pretty well in all my driving situations so far. It's conservative, but that's good. The only big problem i've encountered is the "loading" is incredibly slow- like a solid 10 sec after I put it into D. So it's still loading as i'm pulling away - kinda pointless unless you...

it tells you how many inches away you are from objects or curbs

I just got it yesterday, you will get it soon.

Mechanical, engineering, software/hardware integration, manufacturing design. Tesla coachwork is, obviously, not as high a priority. Tesla focuses on cost-cutting and efficient production. Toyota's coachwork is second to none. Their halo vehicles are supreme in assembly, attention to detail...

The failures are unacceptable. It's really something they must address and the onus should not be on the customer. Seems like Tesla is trying to do right by the feedback but it's really frustrating to read. Not as an excuse but problems will show up. There are over 10million Teslas on the road...

Agree. There is no way Toyota, or anyone else, will catch up in the next decade. Investor day cemented that for me. Tesla has several massive revolutionary assembly systems that others can't copy at the moment. -they make their own software and critical components -megacastings -'unboxed'...

none of that is true, but if you feel it's a waste of time I can understand that.

You can still do small claims for your deductible and any out of pocket, and file with DMV against the driver for no insurance/license. DMV will take action against them for legal infractions.

Having this realization now shows how far behind Toyota really is. I've said it many times, Tesla's engineering is generations ahead of anyone else and it's such a different way of thinking. But that's not new. If I, as a consumer, observe this. Legacy makers have known this a long time, as...

Full car cover is great if you're leaving it for a week. Just minimizing dust, bird droppings, sun... not a bad thing. A half cover is not so good. The straps will rub the bodysides. You have them right on the fender hard edge, which could sand the paint off that edge if it gets really windy...

Basically, it matters at freeway speeds. If most of your travel is stop and go or urban runabout than it matters little. No idea % increase but it would be noticable. Unfortunately, I believe low profile camera side mirrors are not legal in the US yet. Maybe they are, I seem to remember Audi...

There is a strong, blind, echo chamber vibe that's off putting just as much as the shouting at tesla clouds grumps. There's a few on here that want to live in a echo chamber and attack anyone that voices problems or issues with the cars. Even more, if you like another ev, you're attacked for...

Interesting points. Just to clarify, don't think any dynamat would help in the hatch. But I think improved bumpstops would. Guarantee all your other cars have fully seam sealed doors. If I have need to pull the door cards, i'll add some dynamat to the skins if there isn't some there already.

Are the molded acoustic panels adhesive pressed onto the metal or just form fit? I ask because if they are not adhered, it could still be resonating.

are you guys cutting the OEM door seals to stuff tubing in? Seals are contacting or they aren't. More pressure on them isn't necessarily a good thing. I don't know how much those are $ but usually pretty expensive to replace if you tear them. If you're going to stuff the seals w/ tubing, only...

The update didn't delete our profiles, settings or anything. All is status quo after the update.

yup how is the premise false? I already said Tesla would do things to suit their own interest.
