    Cruise control inappropriately slamming on brakes

    Do not know, but it may have to do with you driving on the left side of the road and the person that wrote that program drives on the right side of the road. I drive on the right side of the road and have engaged the auto pilot on a winding, undulating 2 lane road. As the vehicle was approaching...

    Blog Musk Touts ‘Quantum Leap” in Full Self-Driving Performance

    Oh, yes! I paid $5000 for updates when I bought the car. It is a fantastic automobile! Every car should drive like this one. However, this auto pilot needs some very serious engineering and thoughts. I have engaged the auto pilot several times, with sometimes disturbing or hair raising...

    Blog Tesla Discounts Basic Autopilot – $2,000 Until July 1

    I paid about $5000 for autopilot and future upgrades in November last year when I bought the Model 3. I have engaged the autopilot only a few times. The last time was on a local, undulating, winding, two lane road with lines on the pavement. In approaching a turn, the car went across the double...

    Blog Model S is First EPA-Rated EV to Hit 400 Miles of Range

    I got my model 3 in November last year and mostly charge it at home. The highest it has ever achieved is 279miles. At 279miles the system says that charging is complete. I then disconnect the charging cord. I would love a range of 400miles which would allow me to see my grandchildren without...

    Tesla Takes Title of World’s Most Valuable Automaker

    I am sorry to disappoint you. I don't think the car is complete rubbish. Perhaps you and I have different expectations from the car. I bought the car to drive, not be driven or be entertained by mythical software. And it really drives great. Yes, it outperforms the BMW that has 438 foot pounds...

    Musk Says Model Y Production Ramp is ‘Top Priority’

    The model 3 showed up at my door in November 2019. It has traveled 5986 miles up to now. I have not noticed any quality issues with the car, yet. I see no flaws in the paint. The doors and trunk lids work without problems. It drives like a dream. Pressing on the accelerator makes the car almost...

    Full self driving capability

    Interesting. I am 81, purchased the model 3 in November of 2019 and did get the full autopilot thing. I have engaged it a few times and find it has a long way to go for me to feel comfortable with it. I just finished reading "The Robots of Dawn" by Isaac Asimov which was published in 1983. When...

    Model 3 delivered with 75 foot-pounds lug-nut torque [Update: 75 ft lbs to loosen, not tighten]

    129 foot pounds is about the limit of my physical ability. I am not as young as I used to be 60 years ago.

    Blog Tesla Publishes ‘Getting Back to Work’ Plan

    Tennessee would be a great state for a Tesla factory. Volkswagen has a factory at Chattanooga, Nissan one at Smyrna. There may be more. But I really would like a Tesla factory in Tennessee, especially upper east Tennessee where I live because there are no Tesla show rooms or service centers in...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I feel for the two boys. I still own a VW, a 1970 type 2 I bought in October 1969. I also own a 535xd BMW, which I really like but gave to my son to use to make room for the model 3. Well, the model 3 is fantastic. 1:22pm the FedEx truck just left 3 packages on my porch, for the model 3. Got to...
