    Insane Mode- All the time?

    I did show you the regulation. There is no regulation that allows it. And yes, I have gotten a ticket for it. Accelerating too quickly is a reckless driving charge. It may also be included in Street Racing laws. Next time you and an office pull up next to each other at a light, try it out!

    FSD Comment

    FSD has never scraped a wheel for me or my wife in well over 50,000 miles of driving with it enabled. That's not to say that they humans haven't done it.

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    It was probably going to move with a few hundred milliseconds after you took over. Have you done the intersection again when there was no traffic?

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    It's a pretty easy concept. It's called the Speed Limit. I've never seen a Speed Limit (Except when passing) sign or a law or anything. Do you see anything in that which suggest "except when passing" And you freaking idiot. I didn't say that you could do donuts in Insane mode. All I said is...

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Oh, so on Insane mode you don't have to be careful? Is that what you are saying. Because most English reader would assume that "being careful" IS controlling the vehicle.

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Yes, accelerating extremely quickly to posted speed limit is called reckless driving. No, you cannot break the speed limit when passing. I found it out the hard way. It's much more fun to do donuts in the street while on the way to the grocery isn't it? That doesn't mean that it is legal or...

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Wow, yall are indeed, well....... The simple fact that you can't read and understand what I wrote is amazing. I absolutely can control my car. My point only being that a basic Tesla AWD has got enough acceleration that we are talking about significantly less than a second in all of the...

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    So that tends to prove that you are indeed one of "those people!" Obnoxious drivers, right up there with coal rollers. Why? LOTS of people drive with chill on, very happily. It is extremely usable. You indeed are an insane driver. And that's not a compliment.

    defect appeared in trunk interior lining. owned this Y for a month (love it btw), but not this.

    I'm seeing what appears to be yellow marks and white paint. On a section of the vehicle that you would have surely seen before. Oh, you mean the bowing. Push it back, I'm guessing what made the other marks was drug over the side. Not sure how that's a defect.

    You've evidently never triggered "cowbells" :rolleyes:

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Perfect answer, and AFAIK, that is illegal on every public road in the United States. It is NOT legal to pass someone above the posted limit. That's just the way it is and guess how I know that!

    Nope, those aren't cases for Insane mode. I can do those in any of my Teslas.

    Cybertruck FS now or wait?

    I'm not sure how you disagree and then basically say the same thing. Yes, there are redesigns, such as the Highland. That didn't come after a year or two, that was 6+ years after the Model 3 introduction in 2017. The Model Y redesign will be similar, 5+ years. And it was the same with the Model...

    Charging from a portable inverter generator while in remote area

    I think that you may not be including the 500+W that the vehicle uses just to stay awake when charging. The generator indeed seems to be able to provide 120V 30A, but there's not a Tesla adapter for the mobile connector. A third party does have one. And because NEC code, it will derate the...

    FSD Comment

    Yes, it appears that you pressed on the right stalk, which enables FSD. When FSD is driving, it controls the wheel, you aren't supposed to be moving it. Yes, a little torque on the wheel, as if you are trying to control the car is all that it needs to say "If you want it, it's yours" The...

    Lights are on and remained when car is parked

    I have my mirrors set to auto-fold when locked. That way I can see if the car locked. It sounds as if something may have not been closed well, a door or the hatch, something that tells the car that it can't lock.

    Cybertruck FS now or wait?

    You know, that has really never happened on a Tesla? Well, okay, the Roadster and the first Gen Model S and model X. But you can look at the Cybertruck has a 5th generation Tesla vehicle. The only changes that you can expect to see is to help with production. Like my early Model 3 and early...

    Charging from a portable inverter generator while in remote area

    When you say that you are getting 25 miles at 26-28 Amps, what are you connected to. I'm going to guess a 240V circuit, This generator is ONLY capable of 120V, Half you power gone. From 4650W Wireless Start Inverter with CO Shield® – Champion Power Equipment Outlets 120V 30A (TT-30R), 120V...

    Solar panels cancelled due to concern over my roof's strength - experiences with this?

    If it is stones stacked together, that does worry me. Is there a foundation under them? Have you inspected the stone wall, on the inside and outside, to assure that there are no cracks or loosening of the binding material? In my book, stone walls are not great at directly transferring a...

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    When it failed, how many minutes did you leave it there? Were you about to respond with only seconds that seemed like an eternity? If so, the car probably would have completed it safely.

    New lease and mileage?

    There's a commercial going on in at least our area from We Buy Any Car that indicated that when trading in your car to a dealer, you lose $1000. The ONLY was to buy a car is to negotiate the actual car price by itself. No trade-in, no lease. If you want to trade-in or lease, then do that after...

    Connectivity issues

    It appears as if there may be a few slow connectivity issues in the Cybertruck right now. Rebooting by holding both steering wheel buttons until the screen disappears fixes a lot of issues. But is it connected to WiFi? Are you in a good coverage for at least a few minutes? It's common to lose...

    Charging from a portable inverter generator while in remote area

    You may be lucky to get 25 miles out of this generator. It's only 120V 30A. I think that you'd be lucky to get 5 mph from it. And it will require a third-party adapter for the mobile connector, Tesla doesn't have a TT adaptor. If you were to charge at 120V 15A, you'd get less than 2 mph. For...

    Solar panels cancelled due to concern over my roof's strength - experiences with this?

    "in order to make the roof straight"? I'm sure the Tesla rep ran out of their when they saw that. Not only must the rafters support the load, but so must the rest of the house. I'm sure that you'll need an engineering review.

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    You don't look in unprotected left turns? And you stop driving if you see a car a ways away? But the bigger question is where do you drive? Is it just around a downtown square doing unprotected left turns? Like a NASCAR racer? Or are you like most people where unprotected left turns are a...

    New lease and mileage?

    They didn't forgive the mileage, they took it out of your next purchase. i.e. they screwed you later. And the mileage overage was probably far from being the amount!

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Even your first sentence suggests just what I said. So you couldn't give me a street legal use case. Point made. And BTW, most any Model 3 is going to be able to push you in your seat.

    Cloud flare, preventing logon

    The most hilarious part of your reply? "having proper security enabled on your network" As if there was such a thing. I do security day in and day out for a living. I often have to explain to security teams that their "perfect" security is keeping them from getting pai. If a company can't do...

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    I passed through Lex to CVG about a month ago. Probably will be next May when I do it again. Turn the automatic speed control off. Find some lesser travelled roads, Give it a destination, and when it gets close to places that has to maneuver, slow it down. (warning: at really slow speed you may...

    So all knowing, what is the case for street use of Insane? And you have to assume that there is an office watching you to be street legal.

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    I mean really, did you read what you said in the first sentence? That's also called a basic requirement for driving a vehicle and there are laws, called distracted driving laws, that make sure that you do it. But, NO, I can pay a LOT LESS attention when FSD is driving. While you don't realize...

    Rivian Fast Chargers for Tesla?

    That's my understanding. Later this year I thought that they were to add credit card billing. They currently are like Tesla used to be. But there are VERY few of them. Yes, you'll need a CCS adapter. They are NOT L2 only, they are DCFC CCS. Tesla is adding Superchargers at a rapid rate to...

    185 Teslas flooded last week in Miami and the battery replacement is $20,000!! Help please

    This doesn't really sound right. You have to return a leased vehicle in the same shape as you got it, minus normal wear and tear, as far as I know. And with that many vehicles flooded, if you don't get in the front of the repair line, the back may be a long time away.

    Audio interface suddenly turns on

    I'm guessing that wherever you park doesn't have a strong ATT Cellular signal and it's taken a little bit to acquire one. Not sure if there is an answer, except turn it down when getting home.

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    What? I drive with FSD just about all the time. We'll probably get out for lunch in a few minutes and after we get out of the driveway, set out destination and let FSD take over until it brings us into the parking lot.5-15 miles away, depending on where we decide to eat. I *know* how well it...

    Insane Mode- All the time?

    Let's go back a little in history. Yes, those modes were added to help the folks that took the cars out to the track. One of the big problems with taking the earlier vehicles on the track was traction control, the vehicle wouldn't slip the way that is needed to optimize track times. The launch...

    Done with Tesla

    It's relatively easy for me to determine that essentially everyone has a credit card on their account. That's because the number of folks with Lifetime charging is relatively low, and therefore you'll need one to Supercharge. Your "Given past events" hold little water with me. I dare say that...

    Has anyone realized how profoundly FSD will disrupt Real Estate?

    It's people's lack of knowledge and experience that gets in the way. The new speed control is NEW. It was only recently added to FSD. It can be turned off. It still has a little more tuning to go through. It's NOT FSD. And most importantly, I'm sure that Tesla would say that if speed is what...

    Yes, people have done it! Those don't make great YouTubes, which is why you don't see them. They are periodically posted in this and other forums. It is often really easy to prove. You just roll the speed down and do it slower, increasing speed while repeating, until you can trust it. I'm not...

    Is the car leaking fluid? 100% change that it's AC condensate. And for the non-statician's, 100% doesn't mean that other things can't happen.
