    Tesla Cybertruck Uses Lasers instead of Windshield Wipers!

    No, you misunderstand what I said. I'll post another video.... Yes, the glass is coated to create the "refractive index" you described. The laser never touches the water droplet on the windshield because the laser never leaves the interior of the glass windshield. The laser heats up the tiny...

    Tesla Cybertruck Uses Lasers instead of Windshield Wipers!

    Cyberax; Cybertruck will use a hydrophobic coating on the windshield to remove water like on airplanes when it is travelling at high speed and when rainfall is heavy. However, at low speed, it will use lasers to zap water off the windshield. Also, the laser doesn't have to be shot at the...

    Is there an alternate operating system I could install on a Model S?

    Is there an unofficial OS I could download and install on a Model S? I'm trying to solve the mystery of the 150 stolen Tesla Model S. Where did they go? Couldn't be parts cars as there aren't very many independent Tesla mechanics. Couldn't be resold as a Tesla as the stolen car would be...

    Did Tesla's Speed Cause You to Get Speeding Tickets?!

    edigest, I agree with you. Anyone who rides motorcycles with no seat belts when there are perfectly safe cars with seat belts has got to have a few screws loose in his head! LOL! focher, I was going too fast to look at the speedo. Looking away from the road at high speeds = death.

    Did Tesla's Speed Cause You to Get Speeding Tickets?!

    An ICE vehicle will complain louder as you go faster. Most sports cars and motorcycles will require you to operate a clutch and stick shift. All of these factors cause stress when you speed. I learned how to ride a motorcycle because I wanted SPEED but instead I got stressed out by a loudly...

    Is Autopilot Safe?

    Yesterday's edition of the Wall Street Journal said that automatic braking systems may be dangerous because they may apply brakes when there is no evidence of danger. In other cases, automatic brakes don't stop when there is danger. My SO agrees. She never uses Autopilot because of numerous...

Also, included is a brief review of the latest software update, 2019.28.3.1, complete with step by step instructions on how to pair your profile with your...

    Should I buy the "full self driving option"?

    Here is a demo of the current state of development with "full self driving". Full self driving involves complex game theory. For example, in crowded New York city, if you do not nudge your way through a crowd of people continuously jaywalking, you will never be able to cross the intersection...

    Solar Powered Tesla Model 3?!

    Vickh, you're a genius! Yes, it would be perfect for dealing with phantom drain parked at locations where there is no charging infrastructure or "off grid" such as a camp site.

    Solar Powered Tesla Model 3?!

    I saw the Lightyear solar powered concept car. Instead of a clear glass roof like the Model 3, it has glass solar panels on the roof. I've always wanted a solar powered car. Inspired by Rich Rebuilds of YouTube fame, I decide to conduct a redneck science experiment:

    Is Range Anxiety Fake News? Let's Drive 1012 Miles to New Orleans!

    I saw on the news that those who drive EVs have "range anxiety" and it is impossible to drive an EV for long road trips due to their short range and long charge times. Is this fake news? How do you use a Supercharger? How much does it cost to use a Supercharger? How long does it take to recharge...

    NIssan Leaf is a Better Car Than the Tesla Model 3?

    Actually, the video you mentioned failed to consider "vampire drain". The Nissan Leaf doesn't have "vampire drain" while the Tesla Model 3 does. Accounting for "vampire drain", the Nissan Leaf is more efficient than the Tesla Model 3. I love my Tesla Model 3, BUT sometimes I regret buying it...

    NIssan Leaf is a Better Car Than the Tesla Model 3?

    The old Nissan Leaf was a glorified golf cart. However, the new Nissan Leaf has a 226 mile battery and ProPilot to compete with Tesla's base model with Autopilot (I am NOT comparing the Nissan Leaf with the higher trim Model 3s). In addition, there are many features on the new Nissan Leaf that...

    Actual Delivery & Video Owners' Manual: Poor Customer Service is Fake News?

    I actually did need a replacement part. The battery charge port was not closing correctly. I waited 2 weeks for the part to arrive. I was driving around for 2 weeks with an open battery charge port cover. After it arrived, the ranger came to my house and fixed my car in my garage. However, this...

    Actual Delivery & Video Owners' Manual: Poor Customer Service is Fake News?

    I've seen many posts saying that the service centers and delivery experience gives poor customer service. Is it fake news? The mobile rangers, my local Tesla service center, and delivery that I've experienced were all of top quality customer service. Here is my actual delivery experience: The...
