Same for me. I'm in California, and due to take delivery of Model Y in May/June, but want to specify Austin built car. Would gladly take delivery in TX, even if it pushes the delivery date out. What's the process?

So Tesla should stop innovating, improving, and tuning the business? Wow...All about you I guess.

HUH? The iPhone model I bought 18 months ago is now ~1/3 the cost. Apple introduces new versions. Tesla introduces new versions. There's not much that physically depreciates on a phone. A car? Different story. An iPhone has ~3 year life. A Tesla has ~20 year life Just relax & enjoy the car!

You bought a new car. They tend to depreciate the minute you drive them off the lot. Just a reality of life. If that's difficult to accept, you should just buy used cars that have already depreciated (although they will continue to depreciate). And per your headline (Price cuts hurt owners)...

It's a "tent" in the same way that Denver International Airport is a "tent"

Unnamed sources are absolutely worthless, and makes stories like this wreak of BS

Totally agree. I adjust my speed setpoint for a few seconds to get my car out of blindspots. AP should be smart enough to avoid sitting in blindspots.

Exactly. Sketchpad............................Check Fart App...............................Check Romance Mode....................Check Chargeport lightshow............Check Psychedelic Cowbell Road...Check Mars UI.................................Check Santas Sleigh in UI...............Check...

I also like to think they went Pencils Up after the reveal, to put more "utility" into the design, and differentiate it more from the Model 3 sedan.

Funny post, but the headlines like this will forever be added to the arsenal of FUD

With OTA updates, your Model 3 is going to be relevant and leading-edge for many years.

I agree that that is how it works now, (although automatic braking does work in low speeds in stop & go traffic), but why can't AEB be applied at slower speeds, and avoid impacts altogether (as opposed to reducing impact). It always knows relative speeds and distance.

Seems like AP was not engaged. That said, I would hope AEB gets to the point soon where, regardless of AP, the car just doesn't hit cars in its' path. The slippery slope with that is that people will just have the car do all the braking, which of course is a bad idea without working FSD...

Great write-up! The best part is that your trip experience is not the exception, but the rule! I agree that people are vastly unaware, and in fact, misinformed by the range-anxiety narrative perpetuated from the compliance/commuter phase of EVs. Imagine if there was a one-minute TV commercial...

Agree. Gotta eliminate unnecessary calls to Service Centers. Would be best of you could request update via app, or in the car

I agree. But I don't think Tesla will fail due to competition. The market opportunity is way big enough for all players. If Tesla fails, it will be entirely because of their own poor execution. I was at an electric truck conference recently. When a presenter mentioned the Tesla Semi in the...

Your post headline & TMC account wreaks of FUD & BS

Glad you're OK. I had 2 friends killed in an almost identical crash into a tree. The internal combustion engine was pushed into the passenger cabin. They didn't have a chance. The fact that Teslas have such a huge & effective crumple-zone is a huge safety advantage.

Boeing and NASA (Orion) should both contract with SpaceX to use a flight-proven F9 core for their respective abort tests at MaxQ!! ;)

I agree, and even think it should be the default. Radar & ultrasonics always know how far the front of the car is from an object. I can't think of any scenario where the car needs to go more than ~1mph when within a few feet of an object, and it should apply AEB to avoid collision. The car...

It's amazing how many people drive with a foot on each pedal.

Agree re: telemetry doesn't lie, and it's likely driver error. Would be nice however if Tesla's were smart enough to use the AP/AEB systems to prevent the car from crashing into stuff when this scenario happens

I think there's a good chance he WILL announce & show Model X. This is a huge national TV audience... not just press & loyal fans that follow Elon on Twitter - - - Updated - - - I thought about this too, but I think that would be a positive... It would be used as a teaser on CBS News that...

I gotta believe the nextgen roadster will have a lower CG, with the battery pack in the floor vs behind the seats
