Maybe the CT was just a little thirsty.

This is ironic and hilarious. https://electrek.co/2024/08/28/tesla-cybertruck-caught-fire-hitting-fire-hydrant-bizarre-crash/ And CT owners are crappy drivers, just like all drivers!

…and anyone can just shatter a window on any other car for access also. https://jalopnik.com/you-can-just-peel-open-a-cybertruck-like-an-orange-1851632772 This is disappointing that the glass isn’t any more secure. It’s because the windows are frameless.

It’s just a glass assembly training tab. It wasn’t retained very well into the plastic frame by its own tab.

I’m afraid that this deal only delays the inevitable. I guess Tom Tom provides navigation data and then there’s the cellular contract to get any data. Once one of those is turned off, the vehicle is virtually useless. Without open sourcing the software for updates, they’re museum pieces.

Remove many things safely from glass with isopropyl alcohol.

I think on the Q2 results call Rivian Reiterated that their path to gross margin positive was on track for the end of 2024 and for net margin positive by the end of 2025. Lots of contract renegotiations for parts along with their production and design improvements have yet to be realized.

In other news, it’s absolute total BS that closing the trunk manually or stopping the auto-close in any way damages the vehicle. This is a serious design defect. But there you have it.

Would you trust a $40 device carrying all that energy to your vehicle?

That's why I said comprehensive. Read your policy. If you don't try, you'll never win.

My dad ran over his snowblower in his own driveway with his car and somehow the insurance company covered the replacement of the snowblower. Not sure if it was car or homeowners. I know he didn’t need to or bother to repair the car. If you have a comprehensive policy, you might be covered...

I also call bunk on the premise of this article and the conclusion of the Canadian orderer. We all know that the trucks are shipped to regions. This person who ordered six months previous and then got his invitation to configure only 6 days later might be in an area where there happens to...

The waitlist for a $100K-$120K Cybertruck may have been blown through in six days, but a $60K-80K CT order waitlist will likely take much longer to "blow through". Let's see happens when they are made available.

Good thing they don’t rent plaids.

Everyone has their theories on why Hertz cars Are driven hard or driven poorly or abused or not. Not a single data point to back it up. A used car is a used car. Take advantage of the lower price and roll the dice on reliability with or without a warranty. Most of the time, you will...

AWD FTW.

There’s less of a line per se and more a bunch of regional zones for delievries across the US and other countries where people with reservations may be notified to configure their order. Other zones may have stock for people who have no reservation and are ready to take delivery...

I doubt it, but you need to look yourself. I'm not looking for you.

Seems Tesla CT buyers are no more careful than regular car drivers. I feel badly for the family.

Fuses don’t blow “for no reason”. A fault can be temporary. It doesn’t mean it won’t come back or it magically healed itself. It could be a combination of a marginal hardware issue along with an edge case in the software and whatever you were doing driving to make it happen. You will...

Here’s the 2024 Q2 results slide deck straight from Rivian. It’s a big download. https://downloads.rivian.com/2md5qhoeajym/1TJ6otGQ8dmSyIi0shstum/3f443d04053237a398665ae3dd4a79dd/EX_-_99.2_2Q24_Shareholder_Letter_Final.pdf Go to page 13-15 for the financial summary.

All right... which one of you jokers and your 220+ friends parked next to my Cybertruck?

While the mobile connector you are using may be rated for outside use, it’s probably not properly tested for outside use. Are you in a humid area? That can kill poorly protected electronics in a few short years. Water tight is not humid-tight.

Yes. The answer is no. You cannot adjust this. Tesla “could”. Since everything is electronic, tesla could lower the window before it unlatches the door when the button is pressed. I don’t think you would like the delay or how it feels.

This is thread will inevitably fall into name-calling and turmoil. You want free speech? You’re gonna get it and it won’t be pretty.

It’s simple math, but it’s stupid math. Your example is correct. But the fewer cars they sell, the more it costs per car? How much does it cost to sell zero cars? Lucid’s sales are dismally low and worse than Model S or Model X (which Tesla no longer breaks out - I wonder why)...

Exaggerating? Being optimistic? Full of *sugar* and he knew it? Only Elon knows what's in his heart. "FSD by the end of the year", per Elon, Eleven 11 calendar years, counting this one. This vid is 2 years old.

They need it. That’s $2.5B since March. If Lucid has to drain billions from the PIF to survive, I’m all for it. I calculate an ASP of $83792 per vehicle assuming income from no other sources.

I just got an invite for a local demo drive event for the CT. I’ll pass for now. Much like buying a new roof in 2020 vs. getting a model Y, I just bought a new kitchen so no CT for a few years.

For only having sold a few thousand, there are a large number of Deloreans for sale at any given time. Their rarity of sales is not reflected in their lack of availability for purchase. It would seem many owners are either flipping them or were not prepared for the challenges of ownership...

To claim that to avoid a crash would cause a crash is asinine. To claim a false avoidance would cause a crash is just as asinine. This demonstrates that their own software was as unreliable as their own drivers. What was this thread about? Ah, yes. FSD causing avoidable deaths. Seems...

It’s all of the above, but you forgot the biggest reason: #0: Tesla rims sit low and proud of the tire. They literally stick out from the tire and are the first thing to hit a straight curb. Everyone hits a curb now and then. Some, more often. Yeah… bad drivers. On an SUV with tall...

He was in FSD mode, too! (Says the police without checking anything) /s

22s and 23s likely do. Some model Ys may even be HW4.

Hertzcarsales.com Otherwise, search your local car dealers for used Teslas under $25k and ask if they qualify for the credit.

Hertz is dumping their second round of 3s and Ys for cheap. Good news for many.

If you can’t buy it, it doesn’t exist. Once they actually build them, you can compare prices.

Well, sucks for him...

It doesn't exist, yet.

This is not the first time a human did it. https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/crime/distracted-driver-plows-over-motorcycle-rider-slidell/289-f0026536-bcde-4c3a-998d-f66823b6f476 Not a Tesla. https://www.rideapart.com/news/727155/rebecca-taylor-killed-motorcycle-accident/ Unknown...

Sorry, buddy. You're limited to one tax credit every 3 years.

10mph? Sounds like it was either braking or already slowed down before the crash. Airbags deploy due to deceleration or door-intrusion (air pressure), not speed. And hitting a motorcycle may not deploy them due to weight differences. But how do they know the speed if they weren't able...

In my links, half the deaths were the direct fault of the biker. Show me the cameras.

Have there been any other motorcycle/car fatalities where the car was not being driven by FSD? Where’s the outrage for that? The below are all not teslas: https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/motorcyclist-killed-after-crashing-vehicle-ann-arbor...

I don’t remember what update or when it was, but there was a certain update that if one delayed or skipped, would prevent all future updates and require a visit to the service station for the owner, possibly with cost. It was like not updating windows to get the update that allowed future...

State registrations, most likely. And insurance companies.

Anyone who owns a new car gets them. It shows how the dealers or mfgs either resell our information or the states do when we register a new vehicle. I think it’s both.

He’s a content creator on YT and two days ago he published a video on how to do an alignment using a 3D scanner. He specially made his own turn plates using two steel plates with a blob of grease between them. I just happened to watch it the day before seeing your post. Sometimes, I think...
