Yeah! Because I keep my key fob with me all the time but I only occasionally use my phone and so it’s harder to find the phone I rarely use compared to key fob I use all the time! If she doesn’t like phone maybe it’s because she is using it in a way that blocks the signal. I can’t imagine a...

With any error codes you get, usually good to search them on google and this forum to get info. For instance in your case it was even mentioned earlier in this thread -- just see if it doesn't fix itself: 2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

interesting. I chose to put my powerwall on the non backed up panel because I didn’t want to inadvertently drain the powerwalls by just charging a car that didn’t need to be charged but was on the charger. Instead I chose to put a 14-50 on the backed up panel, which was on subpanel that was...

Probably best to give up 2x200A panel backup in favor 1 200A panel packup. Move all the stuff that you need backed up to one panel, and move all the stuff that isn’t needed to be backed up to the other panel. Tesla solar did that for me when they installed the solar and powerwalls. It works so...

Nonsense. Certainly not any more than the inclusion of Poland into NATO could be seen as a threat to Russia. Or the inclusion of Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania. And now because of Russia’s idiotic belligerence, Finland and Sweden. Many of these are...

Perfect -- an awesome display of the breadth and depth of analysis you bring to bear on these issues. Feel free to not believe what I tell you, and feel free to ignore the overwhelming facts and best evidence with childish irrelevant red herrings. But do believe what the Islamic jihadists...

Footstamping fails to be persuasive. An actual atheist is more likely to muster some facts, evidence or logic to defend their claims. My source was the website fivethirtyeight, specializing in statistical analyses. And here they used data from the US census and the Bureau of Prisons. Is there...

Atheists, in addition to focusing on science, data, facts, and evidence, are more peaceful, as evidenced by, for example, by prison population data. The prisons in the US are full of Christian and Muslim believers. — Higher than their percentages in the general population — most especially...

Extreme Christians in the middle ages engaged in deadly brutal Crusades. Extreme Muslims now engage in deadly terrorist jihad, exemplified by 9/11 and 10/7. Many other examples. Extreme athiests engage in condescending eye rolling at family gatherings. Recent mass killings of our age can...

welcome to the world of freedom of contract and reasonable measures to protect against scalpers/flippers taking the early inventory.

You are off to a great start! Welcome! The answer is the best answer possible for you: Nothing to worry about!

good grief. The risk isn’t hitting a parked car. Those are easy to avoid because they aren’t moving. What is the risk of pedestrians, moving cars, strollers, in a parking slot? near zero What is the risk of pedestrians, moving cars, strollers, in a parking lane of shopping center? High—...

"Easily overpower" What were the conditions where you found that you "easily" overpowered your brakes? How many times have you triggered the conservative brake temp warning light? And how often after the warning light did you actually experience any brake fade? And if so, what race track...

When have you actually experienced a need for "better brakes"?

You didn’t even read the cites, and provide none of your own. You also didn’t do the geometry. Backup cameras have a ~120 degree field of view, on a small screen. — try actually doing the real geometry and real effect of being able to process visual cues directly and from a small low...

I’ve told Tesla techs what I think is wrong, and sometimes quoted other people’s service invoices or part numbers or bulletins that I found on this forum, with success. But I also didn’t change any suspension components, or have a reason to change any suspension components. Obviously if the...

I have never been blinded pulling forward from between two parked cars, or pulling forward from between cars on either side of a stop light which is the same thing. The angle is just fine. That is simply a made up case that 1) rarely happens, 2) even I did park between two semi trailers, it...

From the video,they raced a Lucid "engineering prototype" any actual times for Lucid production cars in the real world?

Wtf are you talking about?

I’ve had 3 Model Ss (two with old nose cone, one plaid) and model x (plaid) in the household, all with 19” (20” for x), never waste my time rotating tires, with an assortment of summer, AS, and winter tires, all for over 250k miles, and never had a problem with abnormal tire wear. I’ve had a...

not thousands daily -- but 12k in 2015 for example https://www.geotab.com/blog/reverse-parking/

People who lack the cognitive resources to understand how backing in is safer probably won’t be persuaded by this — but just more data points. weird how some people are blinded by their cognitive bias to not see the quite obvious wisdom in backing in most situations...

This is a brilliant interview with an international law attorney detailing Israel’s rights and obligations in response to the Hamas attacks. She makes clear for instance that Israel has an obligation to pursue the terrorists but not to provide aid to the terrorists or allow aid that is likely to...

Sacks did not “make it seem” like it was part of a class. What he said in the recent All-In was perfectly accurate. This was a Cornell professor at a Cornell student group rally after the Hamas attacks. This insane professor said that he was “exhilarated and excited” by the Hamas attack. It was...

It says the Hamas occupiers stole humanitarian aid and taxed the wages the Gazans earned in Israel to fund their Jihadist terror plans. Hamas can do that because they have total dominion over Gaza. Hamas are the occupiers.

Consequent to the level of control exercised by HAMAS over the Gaza Strip, Hamas is the occupying power. That’s just the f’ing reality, and empty proclamations don’t change that. Hamas is the occupying power in Gaza. Israel left Gaza in 2005, has had zero authority inside Gaza since then...

Gaza is not occupied by IDF or any Israeli authority. Gaza is occupied by Hamas. Israel has no prison guards in this “open-air prison.” Hamas has sole police and other governance authority in Gaza. Hamas are the occupiers.

Imagine how successful Martin Luther king Jr. or Nelson Mandela would have been in advancing their cause by targeting innocent civilians the way Hamas did.

That isn't remotely a reason to not dismantle Hamas. Lots of groups are marginalized in various ways in their societies. And most of them find a method of protest or resistance or otherwise agitating for change that doesn't involve killing a thousand innocents and kidnapping a couple hundred...

Was it impossible to marginalize Al Qaeda and ISIS as much as they currently are? If Hamas can be made as irrelevant as AlQaeda and ISIS are now, that will be a massive improvement. Gaza is NOT occupied. It hasn’t been since 2005. And left to organize itself and organize its resources for...

I wonder if any former Hamas terrorists will give tours on the Hamas terrorist system. Visitors could experience the raping, murdering, kidnapping force of the Gaza ruling Hamas forces.

Valet car parkers disagree with you. They will always back in because it is faster and safer to pull out, with a direct view, and it is easier to maneuver in and out with the steering wheels going in last and coming out first. I get that some will never see this probably because they never...

No. It’s much safer to back in to a parking space where there is low risk of pedestrians or other moving cars in that small space. If you are afraid of hitting the other cars you should give up your driver’s license. Backing out of a parking space in a parking lot, with pedestrians walking in...

Track pads don’t work well at cold or even merely warm temps. Generally the better the high temp performance, the worse the cold performance. Search track pads under my name for lots of links and info in other threads and perhaps even this one.

Smh. Did you watch your own video? And especially for track brakes which are definitely worse when cold. Try not to pepper your posts with childish insults like “absolute nonsense” which are a poor substitute for sharing any relevant facts or evidence or otherwise making an intelligent point.

I don’t have strong feelings about the caliper covers — only wanted to share that some believe that well designed caliper covers can act as heat sinks and provide additional cooling. If you have contrary data, especially that is relevant to the Tesla covers, please share specific concrete data...

There is anecdata that caliper covers, red or otherwise, can help cool brakes. See video below. So the covers, with the pad compound that has better hot temp performance (and hopefully little to no degradation of cold performance) and different brake fluid (and hopefully little to no...

nobody worth listening to includes “China, Brazil, and even India and others” on their list of **developed** countries. smh

For most garages, when pull out of your garage, there is little risk of cross traffic or pedestrians. So the bigger risk is that you run into a bike or lawn power not put away in your garage, so yes, for most people pull in to your garage and back out. But for most public parking places, with...

any more info on this?

Yes that is the answer. Did you need a further explanation?

yes. and valet car parkers, and auto service workers are all trained to back in customer cars because it overall results in fewer accidents and customer complaints because it is in fact over all safer. It’s pretty obvious why too for anyone who pauses briefly to consider it.

below is from It’s much safer to back into parking spaces. Why don’t we do it? Every year, some 300 people are killed and 18,000 are injured by drivers who are backing up, usually in driveways or parking lots. There’s a simple way to prevent a lot of these accidents: We could back into parking...

Can you describe more specifically?

Not if a speaker like Jordon doesn't allow it to come to a vote.

Has anyone had problems related to this YouTuber? A German mechanic complaining about the uniball joint and even the quality of the grease. Mechanic shows why Tesla Model X Plaid may fail inspection in Germany after just 10,000 miles

Definitely an alien invasion would be good for that. Not sure what else. Yes exactly. The very good book, Superabundance, makes this point, cutting and pasting from my kindle version: “ Inclusive [i.e., democratic] governments tend to be more circumspect before engaging in conflict because...

I bought an ESA on my first 2014 tesla. I wish I put the money in TSLA instead. With the deductible, and especially with the opportunity cost, I lost money on it with just a couple door handle replacements covered (and maybe the trunk latch too). All the big stuff was covered under the main...

Recall that the OLD STOCK Plaid brakes, stopped 5 feet SHORTER than the Porsche Taycan sedan from 70 mph. and now, a new bit of anecdata from youtubers who tested the Track Pack brakes find that the Plaid track pack brakes stopped about 5 feet longer than the HEAVIER Taycan Turismo from 100...

Not directly. I can run the Starlink App when connected to any internet, and most functionality works, but since my phone running the Starlink app isn't on the Starlink SSID some functionality on the STarlink App doesn't work: the direct speed test and whatever is under the greyed out "Network"...
