    Plaid Owners PSA: Ifhate the Yoke/Turn Signals/Horn, please complain to the NHTSA

    It wasn't only Renault, lots of manufacturers have moved the horn to buttons or stalks at one time or another, but if you haven't noticed they all use the center of the wheel now. There are safety reasons for that. Tesla isn' the first to consider using a yoke, but you will notice how many cars...

    Aptera

    They are using 2170 cells so I don't think they got those from a 100D. The body isn't carbon so there's that. And they're using someon elses motors .Actually because of their efficiency and improved aero they will use fewer cells then Tesla.

    Bought FSD, but X is stuck on 2020 software build without it

    MCU1 cars have had the dashcam funcion for some time now. The output is now saved to the USB drive, in the TeslaCam folder, automaticlly in the event of an emergency instead of having to do it manually.

    Windshield replacement?

    Just had mine replaced by the service center and they did a fine job. There is really no after market because they have to get the glass from tesla anyhow. Then the service center has to calibrate the cameras after replacement anyhow. It cost $932 through the service center. You can then make a...

    What is the closest fuel car in size to the Teslas?

    Actually the three women mentioned drove electric cars because the electric starter hadn't been invented yet and starting an ice vehicle was difficult and dangerous. You had to use a hand crank.

    FSD Frustration

    And yet Tesla has said that what MCU you have has nothing to do with FSD. I guess we'll see.

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    We already know that humans with humans is extremely dangerous thus the current carnage on the highway. The aim is to improve that with computers. No system is going to be perfect but is it better than all humans?

    Does Tesla have a big math problem?

    Human drivers have a big problems with unprotected left turns. Over one third of the vehicle accidents involve unprotected left turns and over 40% of the motorcycle accidents involve unprotected left turns. There is a reason why UPS doesn't make unprotected left turns.

    Dashcam failure

    Try formatting your drive in your computer using a third party app to FAT32. Make sure that you create a file named "TeslaCam". Capital T and capital C. Yes case does matter.

    [UPDATED] 2 die in Tesla crash - NHTSA reports driver seat occupied

    This is pure FUD. If you remove the weight in the driver seat the car shuts down and goes into park. This didn't happen as reported.

    2020.48.35.5

    Try reformatting your drive. Then check it to make sure it contains the TeslaCam folder .Remember to unplug your USB ports before installing a software upgrade or doing a reset. Once your done reinsert your UBSs. Following these procedures has solved my USB problems.

    Dashcam Flash Drive Repeatedly Disconnecting

    It appears to be a software bug. It began with one of the updates late last fall. I've even had a notification to remove and reinsert the USB drive with nothing plugged into the USB ports. Guess we'll have to wait for Tesla to fix the problem.

    Tesla Model 3 Steering Wheel not centre on delivery

    If your steering wheel is still off center they did not do the complete alignment properly. This is a well known problem with the Model 3. Mine came with the steering wheel off 5 degrees to the right. The service center tried the auto alignment but it didn't fix the problem. It took them doing a...

    Tesla Prototype 1955

    I often wonder why something like this hasn't been done. Instead we have car pool lanes that have as many accidents as the regular lanes.

    Park animation. So dumb

    In over three years I've never used the UI to open the charge door. I'm sure there is a reason to use it but I haven't found it yet.

    Any Model S or X received the Holiday update yet? What about external speakers on s/X?

    You are correct about the Model S headlights as they were adjusted at the factory. 3 clicks up adjustment each side and they go from crap to some of the best headlights on the road. I have both a Model 3 and a Model S so I can compare them.

    Sorry about that . My Model 3 has a reset TPMS sensor button on the service page. I thought the Model Y would too. Good luck.

    TPMS says tire is flat

    Air up all the tires to the pressure shown on the placard, then reset the TPMS sensors ( button in the menu, I believe under service). See what that does.

    Have to "reset" Sentry/Dash Cam USB every morning

    Same issue. Began a couple of updates ago. Appears to be a software bug that is going to have to be fixed by Tesla.Any other thoughts?

    Is anyone impressed with the overly-hyped "holiday update"?

    I am convinced that the people who write the software for cars do not drive them.

    The dashed line showing reduced regen should be yellow on the Model 3 like it is on the Model S.

    Expanding FSD Beta.

    There are no visualizations required for FSD. They are currently presented to impress you but are not required. If the car is driving itself you don't need them, and if you are driving you don't need them. A car with MCU1 and a AP3 computer can do FSD.

    Steering Wheel Vibration (not lane assist)

    When you have a vibration in the steering wheel as described, 90% of the time it's either the tire or wheel. The car needs to be taken to someone who can check the tire balance and the wheel runout to find the problem.

    IS ford serious? Electric mustang looks like an SUV!

    Both companies you cited failed because they failed to innovate. I don't think the same can be said of Tesla.

    IS ford serious? Electric mustang looks like an SUV!

    How do you hurt a car maker who has more demand for their product than they can meet with their production? I believe that Tesla will continue to sell every EV they can build and Ford may sell a few too.
