The worst is when it phantom brakes with a big diesel redneck truck driving close behind you. Those guys get super offended and take it as a green peace yuppy purposely brake checked them. Then they will proceed to do things like, swerve in front of you. Brake check you, and roll coal. Maybe...

So, the shop omitted maybe $5 of tape and 5 mins of their time to prevent scoring the glass. Then told OP its normal to scratch the glass. Sounds like a bunch of amateurs working there

I ordered one when I heard Elon had restarted the Fremont assembly line back in 2020. Prior to that day, I had never seen a model Y in person or even a picture of it!

did you mean, one step forward, two steps backwards? Because what you stated sounds like… progress…

That sounds like a mildew/mold cesspool waiting to happen

As usual, some nagging nancys complained. This time, about Tesla allowing drivers to play arcade games while driving and due to public backlash they had to disable it for everyone. I mean, really? Who in their right mind would try to play any arcade game while driving?

Tesla spying on us, through sleet and snow!

And even sadder, it worked. TSLA went up 13% on the first day of trading this year due to record sales, last quarter.

As the tesla veered off the road and towards the cliff, the driver could be heard yelling "Okay google! I mean Hey Alexa! turn right! right!!!

Unfortunately, most people have a lack of spatial awareness. If they cant see the side of their own car in their side view mirrors, then they get confused like a baby in an Object Permanence experiment.

Yea, thats fine if you’re home eating take out all the time. Try hiding the knives in any professional kitchen and you’d be getting reprimanded by the head chef.

That extra step to select driver profile is super annoying. If only there were a weight sensor under the drivers seat that can differentiate between my wife’s weight and my extra 50lbs.

he was giving a hypothetical scenario. And he’s right, it is insane that our Ys are appreciating in value, it seems by the month!

I just explained it. Customers are impacted because they 1. miss out on the rebate, 2. pay more taxes and 3. pay higher registration fees.

But there is an impact to customers. The rebate is supposed to be an incentive to encourage consumers to buy EVs. No incentive if Tesla just raises the price and effectively “keeps” the rebate for themselves. And just to add insult to injury, the consumer ends up paying more taxes and...

They should. But its all about the mighty dollar. Why sue drivers for a measly couple thousand, when you can sue the company for a couple million?!?

I’d say it did. Elon saw how many of us were excited about rear wheel steering, and now we get it to have it in our CTs! Thanks Rivian ad!

I “bought” last year. Just checked KBB and my car value actually appreciated by a couple thousand bucks. Its all a crapshoot.

Jeebus. Good thing you were in a faraday cage, and not straddling a motorcycle. Nightmare fuel.

Happens more often than not. There was a huge learning curve back in the 90s, when all the fancy new avionics and automation started popping up in airliners. So much so, that American Airlines came out with a training video “Children of the Magenta.” Perhaps we will soon have a training video...

6 months delay but they will happily cash your check as soon as they receive it. smh

Everyone is different. It just comes naturally to some people, but for others, they really need “low” regen to drive smoothly. Tesla should just leave it as an option.

Does it matter? The first sentence reads, “Sales of Tesla vehicles in China plunged 69 percent in July, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA).”

If its Elon Time, it could be two or three years from now. Tesla will sell a pickup though, the demand is there. Anyone who thinks otherwise must not live in the U.S.

2020 MY has this feature as well. Perhaps its a feature of the Octovalve system, so older M3s without the heat pump dont have this?

I take it this is a training demo? Pretty funny, theres sparks and whatnot flying all over and the guy has his face shield up. 😂

how? theres no door handle. 😄

Garage doesnt count. Or parked in any shading for that matter. The a/c really struggles when outside temps are +110 and you’re in direct sunlight. Its bearable to me, but you wont get ice cold air from the vents

I remember the Prelude, came out with 4ws over thirty years ago. Also, the Porsche 911 a few years ago, had a pretty smart set up. At lower speeds, the rear tires would turn in the opposite direction as the front(like the prelude). But at high speeds, they would turn in the same direction. But...

I like the new car smell. I’ll gladly take the 20% depreciation on a $80k car versus sitting in someone elses seat(thats been farted on)

You brought up the brick wall, not me. I think a seatbelt would probably cause internal hemorrhaging if any vehicle ran into an immovable object, such as a brick wall. Air bags on the other hand...

I am referring to a Bus/Car collision, which probably happens every weekday in the U.S. How many times in the history of school buses has a bus smashed into a brick wall at speed?

This is a great point. My parking at work is in a really tight spot, and 4 wheel steering would help immensely

You don't offroad much, do you? 4 wheel steering would have been awesome on my Jeep. It would have gotten me out of a rut, so many times

They probably also took into account, that school buses are built like tanks. Reinforced everything, and just their sheer size and weight ensures that they will emerge the victor in any vehicle collision

Nifty tool. I guess its a good thing I have an earlier MY without the laminated glass. For my next car, with laminate, I will forego the punch tool and carry a hacksaw instead

Magnet mount on the seat rail

I always carry a window breaking tool and/or folding knife in every car I own. After a collision, the doors can get jammed in any vehicle.

Im referencing our MY, so could be different in your MX?

There's an option to change it to activate cruise control at "Current speed" versus "Speed limit." It was in an OTA update a few months back.

There are cases here in the US where people accidentally turn on TACC and panic when the car starts moving on its own. One pedal driving exacerbates the problem when the now panicked driver slams his foot down on the accelerator. The problem being, Tesla is the only automaker that uses the gear...

the rims are designed in a way that they jut out past the rubber tire. Horrible design that makes our tires extremely susceptible to curb rash.

Not necessarily. Training for larger, complex aircraft, sure. But the training is mostly for systems, instrument layouts and flight characteristics. For light aircraft, you can hop in any aircraft category with a standard yoke, ramhorn, center stick, sidestick. No additional training required...

Free electricity. I would turn up the regen if I could

I see him flashing Ok and Od

There really should be a sign that says you will be billed. Just consider yourself lucky that it was $1.50 for your one hour booty call and you didn't spend the night/weekend. (i kid)

Just make it a habit to look over your shoulder before starting any merge! This whole thread about drivers relying on blind spot detection for merging is very troubling. With drivers like these so common, its a wonder more cars aren't just bouncing off each other like bumper cars on the freeways!

I find it interesting how people are so adamantly against this yoke steering. I doubt those same people have every really operated any machinery with said yoke steering. Not a big deal to me, you hold the yoke and turn in the direction you want to go. If we really are gearing towards a self...

I would argue that Tesla drivers on autopilot are safer drivers just because we are forced to pay attention more. “What is it trying to do? Why is it Phantom braking now?!?”

How about unbuckling and then lifting your butt off the seat? (I myself, would not try this at any speed)
