Separate names with a comma.
Today I took my car in for inspection, and when it came time to check the odometer… we were unable. The dash display was set for energy, and...
Well, we already have a Model S with 400+ miles range and 100 KWh battery. Seems to me a Roadster with the same battery capacity and less frontal...
So here’s a thought experiment… Take the Roadster and remove the front motor, and make it rear wheel drive only. Then take out about half of the...
I have also had this experience. There are birds and insect sounds, overheard conversations of people as I pass, and of course the crunch of the...
I’ll have to wait for those to come back from the lab. That’s the down side of film. However, this is the car I’m talking about. ↓ [IMG]
The afternoon was sunny, calm, 73°F. February days like this are not entirely unheard-of here in central Texas, but they are not typical at all....
BTW, I once got my Lotus Esprit V8 up to 170 MPH on a public highway, briefly. It was quite terrifying, and I decided to never ever do anything...
I fit into that category. I love the form factor and top-down driving in general. It does annoy me a little when people treat the Roadster, or...
The settings seem pretty useless to me, as far as I've been able to tell. None of them have any effect on the speed that Autopilot selects when...
When I was looking at vinyl samples to wrap my Model S, my top picks were orange or teal. I waffled quite a while before picking 3M Atomic Teal,...
I've been taking everything (non-beta) that they send me, especially since I've been wanting this issue addressed. Also note… Autopilot can now...
I've been thinking about that. We know the Austin factory is slated to build Y and Cybertruck, both of which should be high volume items. It...
I never put down a pre-order deposit, because I had already learned from my experience with the original Roadster that I, personally, am just not...
uhh… Not too familiar with the numbering scheme, never paid much attention to that, but I will check now… Version: 2020.48.10 f8900cddd03a
FIXED! I've been testing this after ever software update, with no improvement — until now. Today's update got my car reading 70 MPH and 75 MPH...
Incidentally, my car finally managed to read a 75 MPH sign today. I saw it flash past in the visualization and had a brief moment of hope before...
I just got 2020.40.3 and did a quick test run. According to the release notes: Speed Assist Improvements In addition to local roads, Speed...
Based on what I’ve seen with my car… If it reads a speed sign, you should see that sign flash past in the FSD visualization. Also, the change...
Yes. Very much so. However… This particular problem is not really a problem on the “backroads” like most Farm Roads, which are typically 60 MPH...
The problem is that it doesn’t “see” 70 MPH or 75 MPH signs, but it also doesn’t revert back to map data when it passes one. Which means the car...
Before it started reading signs, it always used Google Maps data, which was usually (though not always) correct. Since the last update it has...
Really looking forward to this update. I hope it will resolve the problem I've been having here in Texas, where a lot of our non-divided highways...
It just seems natural to me that the Model 2 (or whatever it’s eventually called) would have two doors. The presumed size, the price point, the...
IMHO these are not even close to the same category of vehicle. If you want a sports car, then you want a Roadster.
I haven’t tried testing on any divided highways since the update. The nearest one is about 60 miles away from my home, and I haven’t had occasion...
I’ve been waiting for someone to post about this, but I guess it’s up to me. Since the last update, my Model S has begun reading speed limit...
I am an EV old-timer, and I can remember when you couldn't buy any commercial BEVs (except a few overpriced NEVs, glorified golf carts), and...
Not a good argument, IMHO. Their product is totally a fashion statement, with its super-high stance and gigantic grill seemingly designed to...
Anyone can work out the math and show how hydrogen is less efficient than battery storage. That applies not only to vehicles, but grid storage...
I honestly have no idea what that means by “local roads”. What roads are local, and what roads are not local?
Years ago when I had my Roadster in the shop for service, I got a Model S loaner with the old Mobileye system. It had its shortcomings, but one...
This. Super Cruise is a joke. I’ve seen a lot of praise for Super Cruise from articles online, which just leaves me scratching my head and...
At the grocery store today, picked up lunch at the deli counter and was just coming back out to my car, the new Model S LR+ with Ultra White seats...
Headlines from Google News… CNBC: Electric vehicle start-up Lucid unveils Air sedan to take on Tesla Tesla rival Lucid Motors unveils 'Air'...
Tesla will be fine. I’m a bit more interested in what this means for the Cadillac Celestiq and the Mercedes EQS. Will they be hopelessly...
Figured something out. [ATTACH] Dreamcase secured! Only down side is a little squeaking when I go over bumps and corners.
Got the Dreamcase a few weeks back, experimented with it a little, seems like it will be pretty good. I did run into one problem… How can I...
Now if only they could get it to sound decent. I don’t think Tesla can do anything about that, tho.
I think the Roadster would be the most fun vehicle in the world for a twisty mountain road. Actually getting it from my home to the twisty...
I wanted to get a wall connector with the 8½-foot cable. Went to Tesla website and found it listed for $500 but it’s sold out. I went to look on...
Guess what drove by during lunch… [ATTACH] It’s a turbine blade on its way to one of the many wind farms still growing here in central Texas....
I got the Model S LR+ a few months ago, and I have quickly learned that 402 miles EPA is overkill. Actually, let me break it down a little… That...
So, basically, on about two percent of the highways that I actually drive. How is that even remotely acceptable? How is that even useful? I...
I wonder if that Ultra Cruise will function on most highways? Because right now the nearest Super Cruise compatible highway is about 60 miles...
What did they omit? The movie did give that impression, I thought. They didn't go into great detail about everyone who was lobbying CARB, but...
Uh, I live in Texas. I barely heard of its existence at the time, and couldn’t have applied even if I wanted to. So I guess that’s a “no”, you...
Care to elaborate? It's a favorite of mine, and I didn't find much wrong with it.
I wrote before in another thread, and don’t want to belabor the point(s) too much, but… They have nothing like Tesla’s Supercharger network....
Tesla's modern, synthetic, "vegan leather" is reputed to cost more than real leather. If you want to look at where Cadillac (and by extention GM)...
There's so much wrong with this, I don't even know how to deconstruct it. If you think Cadillac's aspired-to 300 miles EPA range (meaning...
