The truck is a calculated risk. The design is well off the beaten path so they dont want the deposit dissuading you. A low deposit will attract interest and land more reservations. With the other models, they can charge more because they already know you'd sell your mom to get one.

Buddy just ordered one today. I am still baffled. If this had come out in the 80s after Max Headroom or Total Recall, it would have clicked. But all I can manage today is to be baffled. But I am not the target audience, I guess. Love the specs tho.

Let's hope so.

It really is a shame. While I will always be secretly pleased when other makers dont quite measure up to Tesla, I also feel deeply that it's our responsibility to embrace any company joining the EV community and getting more people off gas. Bollinger might make it in the long run, but this...

Impressed that it has evolved so much while staying true to the original concept.

@umamahesh9999 Thats how mine happened. Customer service emailed me eventually asking for more details, google maps with the locations pinned, etc. but its been 2 months since the last time it happened. One thing a tech mentioned is to put in a bug report if it happens again to guarantee the...

That exact same thing happened to me a few months ago. Both car and squirrel survived, but it shook me. Nasty feeling getting the pedals mixed.

That would be something. Unfortunately, tho the shop had my car for 3 days, they never gave me any answer. I am not even sure if they got the logs or what they saw. They said the'd get back to me after further review when I picked the car up, but they didn't. But the mat issue is something I...

It doesn't look intentional to me. Stupid, but not intentional. Actually, accidentally stupid and then unforgivably stupid. Just a spectacularly bad driver with the morality of a 12 yr old on a joyride, which is just as bad as intentional. They should take her license away.

I have seen that, too. Often right after its turned on, it goes like a frat boy even when there's a car close in front. Always reminds me that until the Singularity, we are technically driving the car even on AP.

@Tam @Dr. J Could be that there's a creep adjustment/alignment that varies. My creep peaks at about 2mph (will do a sanity check later), so for me its only ever active for a second or two before I am on the gas pedal. Have not noticed a difference in how the brakes behave at all, but it is...

Yeah, thats how mine behaves. Regen starts as you ease off the accelerator so you slow down with your foot off both pedals until you get down to creep speed.

@wk057, thanks for that. Very reassuring.

@Electric Dream the blackvue, once it's recording again, will cover that. It shows the speed. I'll have the front view cam on the windshield and the backview over the pedals (somehow). Then I just have to wait for it.

@commasign The universe would make so much more sense if I could just remember it that way. Every time I hear about these incidents I always think the people involved are the same ones who think Alexa is sentient. As a person who laughs at those people it's very confusing to have suddenly joined...

great minds :)

@Electric Dream , definitely the regen is cutting off, but there is more going on than that. It disables itself every winter when it's cold enough and you get that weird feeling as you let off the accelerator that the car is sliding. I know that sensation well. But in this case it's not just...

@Ames, yeah my feet are too skinny. Plus I usually drive barefoot, and my foot cant reach both pedals at once. But I want to see how it responds with both pedals pressed, never tried it. Might be informative.

That's interesting. Its an odd pattern in that only does it occasionally, but maybe it is failing in a way that leaves a gap before the brakes are applied. It feels like a 1 second roller coaster, tho. I really do scream, and I am not afraid of speed.

Agreed. I contacted Tesla to ask them to research it before my appt. My memory is clear, but I want to see what it shows, especially the delay between acceleration and deceleration because as I recall reacting, there should be no gap on the timeline to indicate a foot switching pedals.

No, I always have at least 120 by the time I get back home. And its happening as I start to brake, not when I'm releasing it. But its a similar weird sensation, just more jarring.

I do. Think that's throwing it off? I've had creep on since I got the car in 2017.

At the risk of outing myself as delusional, I just joined the sudden acceleration club. Never quite believed the stories, but I'm not so sure now. So I had a few incidents recently, nothing major and no accidents, but startling. Had the last one today. What happens is that the car lurches...

One more code to get 1,000 free Supercharger miles on a new Tesla, or use autumn2188.

And I say be a good husband and keep your wife's testicles safe. 27,500.

Wow, the MS owner actually walked away from that.

There you go.

I only get that when its cold, but there's a little warning indicator that the regen is temporarily disabled. But then, as bob_p says, I am never driving on a full battery either. I charge enough to make 2 daily commutes in case I somehow forget to plug in one evening, so there's always lots of...

I'd have died, and my husband would finally get to drive my car. Great prank, tho. Happy Birthday!
