Last night, walking out of a performance center to my Model Y charging at a free charger in a public parking garage, a retirement age lady asked me 'how long is it to charge your car?'. I wasn't ready for this question, and I gave an immediate true answer '4 miles per hour'. 'Too slow' she...

One more funny article out of the series "publish fabricated story about Tesla and keep doing it until everyone is convinced it's true" https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/28/how-tesla-bmw-ford-gm-and-mercedes-driver-assist-systems-compare/

I had phantom breaking events over several years, but recently, in both Model 3 FSD and Model Y AP, I saw almost no phantom breaking at all. And now I see this video from Patrick, the Ford Mach-E enthusiast. When I pointed out that what they see is not phantom breaking, I'v got this from...

https://twitter.com/Nizzysaurus https://www.thedrive.com/news/tesla-model-y-owner-finds-scary-cracks-in-gigacast-front-end It looks a little strange/fishy though as I am not sure if it could be a result of an undisclosed front impact. That said, could a strong impact on a wheel crack the casting?

I found this story today. This makes me wonder if the EV charging infrastructure in the US (and Canada), other than Tesla's SC, is a scam and money laundering operation by the owners of the many companies which have absolutely no interest in providing service to the customers. It's sad...

Here are some number points for our trip from CS to Tulsa last week. 2:29 pm arrived at Briargate Supercharger north of CS with 109 miles (a good new 250 kW SC) START 3:04 pm the trip starts at 286 mi STOP 1 7:19 pm arrived at Colby, KS SC (note a one hour time shift) with 51 miles, drove 215...

Haven't seen this issue discussed yet. I have a 40 mph two lane road on my way to a grocery store. Good markings, a well-lit road. Some time ago (a few months ago) I started to notice the car slows down somewhere on that road while on FSD. I tapped accelerator or turned off the FSD before to...

Here is a brief summary of my experience with our new Model Y on a 3500+ mile trip. Our Model 3 is 3 year old and we added a Model Y LR 2 weeks ago. And we went on a trip same week: Tulsa, OK -> Laramie, WY -> Salt Lake City -> Moab -> Georgetown, CO -> Estes Park -> Denver -> Tulsa. The...

I have MY delivery scheduled on Monday next week, but our delivery coordinator went AWOL after basically sending us one message a week ago. I am financing about 75% of the car through BofA. The bank has the VIN number and I have a bank's letter with some reference code and instructions for...

At the beginning the talking head says Tesla Autopilot crashes are being investigated. Then, the talking head proceeds to describe that some death of a Tesla driver is blamed at Tesla (of course). And THEN, at the very end, the talking head mentions that by the way investigators don't believe...

I haven't seen many (maybe no more than 2) reviews of these tires on M3LR (18"). I have just ordered them at Costco ($788 tax included) as the price difference of $400 vs MXM4 is too much for me to justify the Michelin tires. Am I making a mistake? Any experience with these tires? If not, I...

For MYLR, is it days, weeks, months? Any idea?

What you need to know: House Bill 3994, a detrimental bill that could be interpreted as outlawing EV manufacturers like Tesla from servicing and delivering cars in Oklahoma, is currently being considered by members of the House Business and Commerce Committee. Contact your Representatives today...

When I received my 2019 Model 3 LR in 08/19, I remember the battery warranty claimed 8 years, 120k, 70% capacity or below. I opened the warranty link in my Tesla account today, and I found the following sentence: "Your vehicle’s Battery and Drive Unit are covered under this Battery and Drive...

I watched this Chrysler add that is titled "2022 Chrysler Airflow", which looks like an okay vehicle though kinda too expensive looking for this brand. Then, they say a couple things that I still can't understand: 1) "We have committed to launching our first battery-electric vehicle by 2025."...

I have an issue. Often, when leaving my garage, the car's GPS is screwed up showing my location at a random place within a mile or so from my home. The car does not correct the location for over a minute. Today, I told the car to drive to a local Costco, and engaged the FSD Beta on our local...

I read the story in Jalopnik of Teslas failing AEB tests supposedly because of the vision-only system. https://jalopnik.com/watch-teslas-and-audis-and-other-cars-smack-into-fake-k-1848316218?screenName=Alegru I was like OMG WTF. Then, I watched the Luminar video closely. ... please look at...

I have ordered MY LR red a month ago when the website claimed the delivery estimate is June (and September for white). Almost immediately, the delivery estimate showed April-May. Then, in a couple of weeks it has moved to March. And now, the estimate is Feb 9 - March 9. When I ordered, I...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/after-cop26-electric-vehicles-galore-rivian-tesla-subsidies-emissions-passenger-batteries-11637704766 I have strong doubts that WSJ writers and editors are all naive and misinformed. What you think?

"The Mustang Mach-E GT felt more refined and capable at high speeds on a track than the Tesla Model Y Performance." And, of course, BluesClues is better than the Autopilot (because FSD is not working yet, duh.) Questions: is something wrong with me and my perception of the reality or Edmunds...

Just went to the Tesla configurator. Model Y range LR Gemini Wheels listed as 330 mi. 20" wheels - 318 miles. Not 326 mi as on the title page anymore. Is it a recent change? Edit: also, Model 3 LR is now 358 mi range (instead of 353).

A new hit piece has emerged this morning thanks to Reuters "A life and death questions for regulators: Is Tesla's Autopilot safe?" https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/life-death-question-regulators-is-teslas-autopilot-safe-2021-09-21/ What really struck me is the complete...

Here comes the "fun" part. What shell be the estimate? I learned 2 things this morning: 1) Tesla cam is cool. 2) I hate Subaru.

Moderator note: Thread title has been edited. It is great when ICE vehicle manufacturers enter the EV market, and spend a lot of money to promote their EVs. However, that should not be an experiment on the safety of customers. We know that safety is the number one priority at Tesla...

Yesterday I found this on HotCars.com: https://www.hotcars.com/8-reasons-wed-buy-the-toyota-rav4-prime-over-a-tesla-model-y-anyday/ The author, Eric Boman, gives 8 reasons why he would buy RAV4 Prime over Model Y. Let me go briefly over all of them: 1) It's cheaper. Hell ya! And dozens of...

New tax incentives are giving $10k federal tax credit to all EVs produced in the US. $12.5k - for EVs produced in the US on factories with union workers. $7.5k to all other EVs. 1) All Tesla M3, MY, CT and potentially lower trim MS vehicles are getting $10k (not counting taxes on full price)...

Did anyone experience anything like that?

Haven't seen this bug yet. Let me know if it's something known. When I try to open Software -> Owner's Manual and open anything in it, I see no manual, but instead the screen freezes and the AC starts to blow at full speed. Two-button reset or existing and closing the car help. I reproduced...

I think we can already conclude that Elon was right dissolving the PR department and running no ads for Tesla. https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/08/media/diddy-general-motors-gm/index.html

Got a birthday cake from my wife today.

Ford's communication director talks about dealerships charging markup on the Mach-E (when no mark up has been promised) and tells that Teslas are not cars but vaporware. I find this response hysterical.

I came across this report on InsideEVs and watched the video. The author (of the video) claims the window shuttered in many pieces before falling out. Then, she claimed the tint film has been holding the glass before it fell out. On the picture below I can see that the glass is cut pretty...

NACTOY Reveals Winners of the 2021 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle™ of the Year - North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year This could be good for Tesla if this attracts more buyers to electric cars. I am concerned though about the Ford's game here. Technically the...

It is sad that it is legal to post articles and "survey" results without a disclaimer that they are advertisements paid by Ford Motor Co. It is sad that people will believe such ridiculous claims and then run away from EVs when they find the car they buy is not what they expected based on such...

I have LR M3 of 08/19 with 15k on it now. Original range was 310 miles. Now, since about 10k, it is between 285 and 290 miles (7-8% loss that seems to be way more than average at this mileage). I read the "restore your battery" sticky thread and I am keeping my car in my garage overnight at...

After upgrading to 2020.40.8 I notice a lot more phantom braking when on AP. Usually it happens in poor light conditions but almost every day now. Did anyone else notice more ghost braking incidence on the last software version?
