    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    Yes, I believe that was the TC segment where we kept having the problem. Today we were doing a stretch of back roads in Saskatchewan. Travelling from Lafleche, SK north to Moose Jaw then along the TC through Regina---there was apparently a supercell thunderstorm potentially developing on the...

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    If that's how they pass on knowledge, how do Teslas everywhere deal with only regional information? For example, BC has blinking green pedestrian triggered stop lights. I've set the traffic light gong on so it tells me when it sees a green light---it almost never sees the blinking green...

    Has anyone heard of a Tesla being rear ended because of phantom braking?

    I'm inclined to agree that this issue may be somehow associated with the vision system, it becoming a bit confused and then overreacting. I've not done a lot of long distance in my 2020 MS up to this point, but have now begun a 2 month cross-Canada road trip from Vancouver to Newfoundland and...

    Here's a recent article (Sept. 1 / 2021) that may or may not help: Is Elon Musk Back In “Production Hell” With Tesla’s 4680 Battery?

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    The Human Factors group needs to Google "Implicit Memory"... Implicit memory - Wikipedia It's not good to instantly move stuff around on a UI. They, at the very least, need to allow users the option of retaining the "classic" display so they can phase in getting used to the changes.

    2020.48.x

    Why shrink on-screen fonts? I'd rather have control of the font size for key info, like I can on my iPhone. With about 60% of the population requiring eyeglasses, this change to the UI makes no sense. Hopefully, they will add a font control option so you can set it appropriately (within...

    frunk window washer hose/wires

    I've had my new 2020 Model S LR+ for about 6 weeks now and am very happy with it. Would not go back to an ICE. In opening the frunk a couple of times I noticed the wiring casing and washer hoses rub back and forth along quite a sharp edge of the front fender next to the left side frunk hinge...

    JD Power ranks Tesla last in Quality Control Study

    Agreed. However, the dealers do have a certain number of labour hours allocated to check over each new vehicle, depending on the model, for pre-delivery preparation. The number of hours are specified by and billed back to the factory. Normally this would cover things like body work...

    JD Power ranks Tesla last in Quality Control Study

    This is a key and highly relevant point to this survey result. Dealers have a significant interest in finding defects because they do make money on warranty work. Whether it is body work like adjusting panels or fixing paint scratches and chips, adjusting doors, etc. these things get claimed...

    Pressure Buffeting - Has anyone experienced it?

    I do not yet have a Model S, but am very keen to get one. This low frequency issue would be a problem if it bothered my wife. I also wonder if the Raven suspension upgrades have helped at all. Finally, even if you don't hear low frequency noise, there can be other serious effects of...

    In my view there seems to be too much focus on Tesla (mostly for stock market reasons) and not enough consideration of context around the entire auto market in general. U.S. Auto Sales Hit Massive Speed Bump. Yes, Even Jeep Wrangler Sales Declined Canadian auto sales decline 7.3 per cent in...
