    Disney+ Removal Exemplifies a growing problem

    Completely agree...the blurred lines with X apparently using some Tesla engineers even if they paid for them....this whole thing with Disney+ is completely inappropriate. I don't care what your personal beef is with another CEO, especially when it stems from your own personal company, there is...

    Model Y Glass Roof TOO HOT?

    The tint will do nothing in this case. The glass roof will get hot..it is actually hot itself...There have been tests already showing the tint on the roof is actually doing a very good job at blocking heat coming through the glass but when the glass itself is hot, this isn't doing much. There...

    Paint problems - do these bother you?

    They're within spec... But seriously..the first one is wrong..and it'll rust it looks like...the second one looks like that'll come off and be an issue later...which they will not fix later. As someone said though, whenever it goes it, you risk them doing something else wrong.. Personally, I'd...

    Is there a way to set a preferred driver?

    It isn't..if you think about the multiple use cases out there where the preferred bluetooth for lets say, music, isn't necessarily the drivers.... Setting the profile to the key was pretty intuitive to be honest.... The part that I had an issue with is when my wife and I went into the car, it...

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    But the original radar sounds like it was better than just vision.. If you look at where the car industry is headed (at least the innovation side), data won't just be coming from the car you're driving....and while radar may eventually not be needed because vision of what is around you...

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    When was this? I can't even find a mention of it...Was this "we will replace it when we get them in stock" or "we removed them completely from the car"?

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    I haven't heard of cars at this price point removing USS. And how has that gone over with their customers? I know they decided to keep going..they obviously did. And yes, people took the car, expecting that this will eventually work..and maybe it will...I guess we will all see. A ton of...

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    Hopefully....I have confidence they'll eventually get it right..then again I had confidence FSD would be fully baked by now...

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    And yet, they had an alternative to a disk drive already in place. Can you imagine not having a disk drive and no CD to replace it? At that point it time it would've been difficult to deal with..maybe less so with a Mac, impossible with a PC. No problem not having USS to see how close you are...

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you..but that's assuming they sort out the camera assist right? And if they don't? Would you expect they retrofit cars with USS if they can't work it out? I would...this problem shouldn't even exist..they shouldn't have removed USS without sorting out the...

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    Don't need to be either...Would any car today at 60k be released without USS? The answer is no....And hey, they included it originally because they knew they needed it...Boom.

    Looking to cancel order due to removal of USS

    Or maybe Tesla should've sorted out the vision assist before removing the USS.... Would they have released the car at all without USS from the beginning? No...so your statement about Tesla not being the car for them is ridiculous....

    Done with Tesla Model Y Performance after 2000km

    I agree with pretty much everything you've said.... Here are my comments on a few things: Doors - They feel cheap when you first use them especially if you touch the edges..but you eventually get used to them. I agree though, that they should feel more solid. Door handles - I like the darker...

    Impressions After Month 1

    Yes...of course...Granted, I don't know if it is defogging/defrosting automatically if I don't see the need to...but the times I knew I'd probably need to, I had to activate it manually..

    Impressions After Month 1

    I haven't seen that to be the case...I wish it was. Generally once you've defrosted/defogged the windshield you can turn it off..but that's true for any car...I've had to turn it back on with my MYP once or twice though.... If you mean it can figure out based on temp/humidity that it needs to...

    Tint Advise

    The rear sides have some level of UV protection but minimal heat rejection...If tinting is just for looks just do the fronts. The roof glass has shown to already have very good heat rejection and some places have refused to do the roof because of the risk of cracking. Like the model 3 rear...

    Tesla Promotion 6000miles - UNFAIR!

    In most cases they do..because you can return it and buy it...Some credit cards have purchase protection etc, etc, etc.. In general, they'll also do it because it pisses off your customer and you'd generally like to retain customers. Do I think the OP thinking they can sue is a bit overboard...

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Well it isn't like it is all cars...some still have it so they maintain both....which is basically one version that flags you can see it and one that says you can't..even more of a reason to just allow people to see it...

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Sure...you do...especially when that is extra.. In this case, it had it..the capability exists....it still exists, it is just hidden...It took extra effort to hide it.

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Yeap..but there shouldn't even need to be...It isn't even the case where the capability doesn't exist..it does..

    Why did Tesla remove option to disable regenerative braking?

    Yeah exactly....What is the argument against having the options? I just see the same Kool Aid drinkers talk about it as if Tesla just knows what is best for us...when we all know they only removed this to boost EPA ratings..not because they actually don't want the options.....other car...

    PPF Yes or No?

    Everyone is going to have a different answer....But to me.. You look at the expected lifetime of the PPF which is probably anywhere from 5-10 years (You can make your own judgement call on that). You then compare whether the cost is worth some paint chips or not. Resale wise, the additional...

    Windshield wiper controls are the worst about a Tesla

    Yes...this does suck. So what I've done is press the button on the stalk to trigger it to start and that pops up the wiper controls....it also buys some time to quickly hit the wiper where I want or request it via voice...it still sucks no matter....But you don't have to search around for...

    new comfort suspension switch over dates

    But none of the cars you mentioned were sports SUVs...and I too have ridden in plenty of them or owned them and none of them are as poor (especially in the back) as the Model Y when it comes to bumpy roads... You're wrong about the types of people who are complaining, as in, it isn't just people...

    new comfort suspension switch over dates

    Which of those was a sports SUV? And the Z4 ride is so much better over small bumps...as is every BMW I have ever been in. Maybe you're mistaking it for feel..but even then, BMWs have both better feel for the road and handle bumps better..which sounds counterintuitive but that's what makes...

    Feelings about the “order fee” and dropping features

    I agree...there are definitely trade offs... For me, my point is if they're going to remove something..just simply give your consumer the chance to back out. If truly your car is as good as it was before, you don't have any worries with this. And frankly, I think a vast majority of people...

    Feelings about the “order fee” and dropping features

    I didn't say if they didn't agree with me they're overcome with blind loyalty. You made that assumption, please respect the discussion and not jump to these conclusions. THAT's lazy...What I'm doing is anything but. I'm all good with disagreement, I love the discussion, that's why there is a...

    Feelings about the “order fee” and dropping features

    As previously stated in this thread...the order itself just refers to an existing set of documentation which lists it..you can make an argument it does in fact infer this is included. This is an argument already successfully made in other countries as well. But as I said before, if you're...

    Feelings about the “order fee” and dropping features

    You don't have a legal argument to say but we added feature X when the customer ordered Y. Plus if what I was reading was true..they've temporarily disabled things like some parking assist modes..which means there is an admission it isn't equivalent YET. This is different if you're...

    Feelings about the “order fee” and dropping features

    Yeah and in other countries they don't let you get away with removing something either. Not without you agreeing to it. So you are entitled to a refund of your deposit. I don't see why Tesla would care about keeping the 250....It is a nothing. That said...you are generally paying for a...

    2022 Model Y LR Wind Noise.

    I think it depends on what type of wind noise. Whistling they seem to care about...if this is just you notice more wind noise because there isn't an engine getting in the way, you're not getting anywhere with that. I'm sure you feel it is just more wind noise but in reverse, I'd ask how are...

    Florida owners living in Gated Communities in Palm Beach County that prohibit chargers! Where do you charge your vehicles?

    Yeap..exactly... People complain about HOA Boards and decisions yet they're the same people that don't even attend HOA meetings or willing to put in some time to make a change in their community. Bad HOA boards are often a reflection of the lack of involvement by the rest of the community and...

    How long until we get a 400+ mile model Y?

    It depends on how much more it costs though..... You can apply the same logic you used for 200 to 300 miles....a majority of our driving never needs 300, so why not have it at 200? I do agree, right now, adding a large cost in the form of batteries to go from 300 to 400 is probably not worth...

    2022 Model Y Initial Impressions

    Took delivery Sunday - initial impressions

    Yeah...it is annoying at first..and confusing...You get used to it though and find it doesn't matter because the car itself drives pretty solid....but yes, one of those little things I wish was a bit better... I think the one issue with Telsa is that with most cars, the more you pay, the better...

    New MYP owner - My take on ride quality.

    What is there to be butt hurt with? I really like my car which I've repeatedly said but you have a hard time grasping...For a majority of what I drive on, it is great....For those times I end up on a freeway where it is bump and have someone in the back, I feel bad for them. Or in the rare...

    New MYP owner - My take on ride quality.

    You think that..but you're wrong. First thing is, as much as you think it is, MY is not a sports car...It might accelerate quickly because it has an electrical motor but it isn't a sports car...its primary customer doesn't even care about that. And even if they did, the suspension still isn't...

    Took delivery Sunday - initial impressions

    I think you have the same experience of anyone actually looking at their car. There are going to be issues, they're not going to fix it right then. You can't even leave it there. They have been getting better though... The frunk is pretty weird and thin feeling....as are the doors...you get...

    New MYP owner - My take on ride quality.

    Yeap....It isn't a deal breaker for many because there are other things to like about the car..it doesn't mean people don't think it could be better or should be better. I think someone seemed to think the people that actually think the suspension isn't great is in the minority...from what I've...

    New MYP owner - My take on ride quality.

    You haven't talked to many MY owners...my neighbors who know nothing about cars...have mentioned it..other people I know have mentioned it...people I've run into at the Tesla store have mentioned it.. It is a common complaint...is it enough to get rid of the car? Probably not...but just...

    New MYP owner - My take on ride quality.

    Well I've expressed this as well...For sure, the suspension could be a lot better...it is actually pretty poorly designed (or seems that way) from what I can tell. On a normal street, the ride is quite smooth, probably feels that way also because of the sound (or lack of it). Bumps at slower...

    New MYP owner - My take on ride quality.

    The small bumps are not a big deal when on normal streets..I don't really think that's the complaint (although maybe for some it is). The issue I seem to find is on freeways or anywhere at a fairly high speed going over small bumps in a freeway (see Los Angeles) and it just gets really really...

    “Within spec” 🤣

    I don't see any overreacting...Not reacting in that way, which is how some people seem to think, is how we should be handling that...as in, it isn't a big deal, just deal with it. There are some things which are little and a bit nitpicky...Missing stuff like that is just poor QA...Absolutely...

    And yet it is woefully inaccurate.....It isn't clear they're using anything but a very basic assumption...the result is it just isn't very accurate...might be slightly better than before (which wasn't very good).

    Yeap..they definitely have an issue...although it has been better lately. There was a stretch where appointments at many centers were a month out...and most of this seemed to be issues with the car that should've been caught in QA.... There are people bringing in cars for repair..but that's...
