Addendum: just for the heck of it, I also tried “open (close) a$$hole” out of curiosity and that also works 😅.

A few months ago, my 17yr old gave me a soft ultimatum of sorts for his birthday present. He was quite insistent on either a 3 series, preferably M40i, or the Nissan Z (which is a a little harder to come by without dealer markups still to this day). Fortunately, he wasn’t as picky with the...

I do say "open butthole" almost every time it's time to charge.

I have something similar on the driver's seat. I haven't been great at using baby wipes regularly.

Early V11 was indeed total shite. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of comments and feedback helped to steer the subsequent updates back to being more acceptable.

Not a fan personally, but I'm more astonished by the pricing of Pimp My EV on all their items. Ridiculous!

Does matter. Signaling before entering a tight rotary when you intend to stay on and exit off the 3rd of 4 exits will confuse a lot of people. Better to start signaling while in the rotary going counter-clockwise (wheel turned) right after the 2nd exit passes and before the 3rd exit arrives so...

You don’t know what a rotary is

Yes, I believe you are correct.

I'm very happy with the green light chime. It seems to work 99% of the time when I'm the one at front of the light and maybe ~95% of the time when there are car(s) ahead of me. Very high success rate. All failures that I can remember were circumstantial/explainable in nature.

Probably not. You may or may not be encountering the familiar software update pattern of: giveth / taketh away / giveth but worseth / taketh backeth away again. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Meanwhile, feel free to distract yourself and passengers with farts, customizing the color of the...

I actually like the gear change chime because I have the issue where the car doesn't go from Park to Drive all the time as intended, so the chime is a nice confirmation. I also have Joe mode on so maybe the chime volume is softer for me than the default.

Do you think it has anything to do with having your left turn signal on and the car thinking that you'll turn onto the curb imminently or something? Isn't it wonderful being a participant on the forefront of half-baked technological advancement?

I've renamed mine to be HOBOCAR due to the persistent stinky A/C issue 👍

Given the weight of car compared to other smallish ICE sedans of similar class, I think comparing # of tire changes as part of maintenance would relevant, though I'm assuming you got rid of your runflats on your BMW since those don't last very long?

Your post is more erratic than the auto wipers function 🤣

Is it possible that it has more to do with the phone being in front of you (i.e., facing the car) when you unlock it rather than the actual unlocking? I usually have my phone in my back pocket. It's pretty hit or miss with unlocking the car (usually miss) when the phone is in my back pocket vs...

They shouldn't have gotten rid of USS until the alternative could be at least as reliable as USS then. All the "fuss" from customers makes sense to me. Tesla ****ed up with their order of operations. Why try to rationalize it?

“My frunk was shrunk” It was in the pool!!!

For those who have ultrasonic sensors, does this update still keep the functionality, particularly for model 3.

Ooh these look nice 👍

Remember this well when newer owners in the not to distant future will not have the luxury of using a physical stalk and will instead be trying to "press" on the right spot on a capacitive pad somewhere on the steering wheel to turn off the turn signal when the auto-off fails. Do the newer...

Yup.. sounds like you need brake fluid flush and inspection (for leaks and debris).

I wish we had the option to activate an internal sound mode similar to Taycans.

What kind of tires do you have on?

One "invisible" thing they should really fix with this refresh is whatever it is in the A/C system design that makes the interior smell like damp dead cats. I gave a colleague a ride last week and I forgot to "prep" the interior by turning on the climate remotely ahead of time to blast away the...

That's a wee bit harsh. I find the auto-headlights (low beams, NOT auto high beams) work as well as any other car in the last 15-20yrs.

If I wanted an EV with more trunk space, I would seriously be considering the Polestar 3 when it comes out instead. Model Y is ugly AF and even more apparently so if compared to the Polestar. Worth the price difference.

My post was made in jest.

Any relatability to Prius behavior is neither helpful nor a positive takeaway.. 😜

Seems fine, though just a wee bit pricy for what it is. $31 before shipping.

We can probably expect that we'll be required to like one of Elon's tweets before we can put the car into drive.

Mine seems borked as well. I've been comparing Google Maps routes from my phone vs the car over the last two days by entering various random destinations. Most of the time, the Google option seemed to make more sense. I'm also actually surprised the routes were different so often as my...

Definitely shouldn’t look like that. Crappy shop, crappy job, and/or crappy people.

I’d be tempted to get something like this

That's... actually not too bad. Interesting.

Found the post from a while back where I had initially replied about this experience. To clarify, it's about failure to turn on, not confusion over how to cancel (relatively more people appear to have confusion over how to turn off, which is a completely separate thing and more to do about not...

I’ve never had any stalk failures ever in 20+ years of driving in any vehicle.. oh except in the Tesla. Failed turn signal commands and multiple attempts needed to go from Park to Drive occur pretty regularly for me unfortunately, and the former has been brought up others in at least a few other...

As an iPhone user, this looks so much better without a notch 😅

People who have this issue should keep posting videos. It's good to get it out in the open. It's another craptastic part that doesn't seem it should be failing as early as it should.

Nice! I’m reduced to being happy about new updates fixing things they broke in previous updates 🤣

I have a couple of tips to consider: 1. Steering wheel - Have you tried setting your "Easy Entry" mode such that the steering wheel tilts up all the way? That may help with avoiding scratches when entering and leaving. 2. Floor mats - Invest in a nice set like Maxpider, Tuxmat, or other...

I sometimes wonder if Tesla will be forced to make some significant redesigns sooner than they’d like due to increasing competition and variety of EVs. There are some increasingly interesting designs coming out from legacy manufacturers.

Almost anything compared to a Prius would be wonderful though.

😄 I appreciate the long term update on this. I guess you also fill us in on how long each puck lasts and whether it's been consistent. It's weird/unfortunate that you can't just get refills.

I've been vocal about the shortcomings of V11 and of the areas that have been worse than V10. I've also recognized some of the fixes that subsequent updates have trickled in. But it's interesting to see other manufacturers coming into similar issues as well. In BMW's latest iDrive 8, I just...

I'm not familiar with the bug you're referring to.

There is hope coming!! The level of complaints must've done some good.. With Tesla update 2022-12 you can add seat heaters, wipers and more to the launcher

Lots of Scandinavian vibes there with the white and wood combo. Pretty cool.

I’m more smitten by the glimpse of the bright red E46 you got there 😍
