How did you park whatever you were driving before you bought this car? It's alarming how many people can't drive well enough to park a car.

I was thinking the same thing. Jags are notoriously unreliable and while it may be fun to drive, it's much more expensive to maintain and fuel than the Model S

Regarding your points about TACC/FSD being separate and setting TACC speed: You can still do that. I suspect you have the option to allow the car to determine the appropriate speed enabled (I forget what it's officially called.) There is a toggle switch in the autopilot settings menu. If you...

You are correct. I just looked it up, and it's an interesting system.

How did the M3LR hold up after 52 years?

I don't. That's why I wouldn't spend money on graphical updates to my center screen. I'm not saying people shouldn't spend money for just that, only that I wouldn't. To each their own, as they say.

This seems like a colossal waste of money, considering you shouldn't be looking at your display for extended periods while driving.

I must be on the MassHole branch, then. That explains it.

99% is very generous. I live in the burbs and it consistently tries to change lanes at or in the middle of intersections, doesn't seem to want to drive at my set speed (hovers around 5mph under,) make strange lane change decisions despite minimal lane changes being enabled and illegally passes...

Only downside I see is they have just 20,000 miles left of the powertrain warranty on a car that is maximum 15 months old. Granted, most problems would have surfaced by now over 100k miles. Great buy, Doc.

So you can't operate the windows while these are in use?

Thanks, Buzz Killington. We all know what they meant. Your analogy could further confuse as when charging the display expresses charge rate as mph or kph. kWh seems like a logical link even though it designates capacity rather than speed.

Petition to call it the "Bizzy Forks" hence forth.

I'm on my second model 3 since early 2020 and have had precisely 0 issues. No rattles, no broken parts, no maintenance. All I've had to do is fill the washer fluid and rotate my tires. What do you mean by "too much technology?"

Giving them a number to hit for a satisfactory monthly payment allows them to off a lower interest rate with a higher premium for the car. This is fine as it's your money but those who are after the best deal should never give a dealer their acceptable monthly number. I am after both the lowest...

This is a car salesman's wet dream

2 Plaids and looking for a 3rd in 2-1/2 years. If you got some cash to burn, I'm your man.

That's more than my mortgage, including taxes and insurance. Different levels of income aside. It seems like $0 down is the problem. Not as big of a deal when you got the S since rates were lower but that is a great way to be upside down on a car before you even drive off the lot. Leasing this...

You're paying $77,400 (monthly for the MB and 27k for the Tesla) over the next 3 years, after which you'll be no closer to owning the car. Seems like a raw deal to me. The cheapest car is the one you already have, as they say. But those in the market for a $170,000 car may not really care one...

Or they could waste everyone's time and money by bringing in a lawyer over a trivial issue.

That's certainly not going to help matters. Just bring it somewhere else, explain it beforehand and I'm sure it'll be fine. You also say you "have to make it work" but then say it's not broken. You have to pick one. Edit: why are you upset they failed you if it wasn't going to pass due to the...

I personally think it's BS that they won't operate in good faith and fix it since properly done painting shouldn't cause any issue but there are parts of the warranty they can point to to deny you. I can't copy and paste it for some reason but it reads to the effect of "any inappropriate repair...

Luxury car depreciation. This is not unique to Tesla. Sorry you took a bath on this.

I see we're no longer looking for advice or solutions, just sticking around as an attention seeking troll. Mods really need to shut this one down. We tried @Surfer , we really did, but you don't seem to be interested in any progress to a solution. You just want someone to complain with you. Have...

All you've missed out on is a conversation moving in circles. We ask for info; requested ignored and dismissed with insults. Rinse, repeat.

We could have clear minded evaluation if you would just provide a timeline of events and not gloss over a 3 day period. We're all (save for a few) trying to help here. Resorting to insults really doesn't help much.

LOL

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume we won't be getting the full story about this either. If the past is any indicator, that is.

Impulse buying is one thing when you're talking about small electronics or some furniture but a 3rd vehicle while upside down on 2 others to the tune of 20 grand is another matter entirely.

You certainly insinuated at one. Sound familiar? You're also missing everything that happened between 1/19 and 1/21. Was any attempt at contact made or your behalf or theirs? Did you complete everything required in the app? Post your chats if you think you're in the right. While we're at it...

More than what they have to spend, apparently.

OP. For about the thousandth time, write out your timeline of events starting from the order fee being placed. All you've done is contradict your own previous statements and aimlessly blame folks at Tesla and pointed to a conspiracy from Tesla corporate to renege on a price that was offered...

I'm at about .25 in southeastern MA. That factors in the delivery fees and whatnot to get an actual per kWh cost. On paper they list it as .15

Nothing has physically changed with the car, only an update in testing standards. If you drive conservatively on trips to your cabin (barring extreme weather and temps) you should be fine.

Yes, I know what the difference is. Everyone in this thread knew what the poster meant. Do we really need to get that pedantic?

A distinction without a difference, in this case.

Thank you for this. I am happy to admit when I am wrong or misunderstood a topic.

It doesn't. Drive like a responsible person and it's no different than before. Do you keep one hand on the wheel when doing so? Does "freaking out" mean a slight nag?

The definition of L3 literally states the driver must be paying attention at all times.

"Level 3 vehicles have “environmental detection” capabilities and can make informed decisions for themselves, such as accelerating past a slow-moving vehicle. But―they still require human override. The driver must remain alert and ready to take control if the system is unable to execute the...

It says as much when you turn it on...

It doesn't matter that other people are doing it; it's still dangerous and stupid. There is never a safe time to text and drive.

The notes are allover X and the news sooooooooooo yeah unless you are legit offline you've heard of both of these terms and should be smart enough to find them.

This was the most disjointed and "um... uh..." filled presentation I've ever watched. Only touted the towing, speed, and a couple features and didn't reveal ANY real world specs because they knew they overpromised and under delivered. Trash event.

Here's how I imagine the conversation went between corporate sending the truck and the showroom in Boston: Corp: We're going to send you a Cybertruck to show off. Showroom: Great! What trim/spec is it? Corp: We can't tell you. Showroom: OK.. how about info on the features like the outlet or...

My thought is it's meant to defeat relay attacks. If your car receives a ping from the phone and it's deemed not active for a while, i.e. sleeping, it may not unlock or start. Just my guess though. Seems like a good idea to me so I allowed access.

Plaid and M3P launching from a stop light (or any speed for that matter) are worlds apart.

Chrysler Pacifica vibes

Congrats on the purchase! These really are fantastic cars to drive. What do you mean by inside front camera? If you're referring to the one in the cabin facing the driver, you can't display that on the main screen (not sure what purpose that would serve) but you can display from the app when...

I suspect price is the barrier. X has, until recently, has been exorbitantly expensive for what it is. Though, reasonable now it's still the most expensive option for Tesla.
