    Tesla Begrudgingly “Recalls” FSD Beta for NHTSA

    Maybe the fix is suspending FSD.

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    Excellent point regarding plowing. Given some time I think we may well see these capabilities from Ford, GM, Ram, etc. This is the first iteration of F-150 Lightning and it has been a sales success. Sure there are issues, missed opportunities, and Ford value-engineering. The F-150 Lightning is...

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    Ask any Chevrolet Avalanche owner/former owner, the cab is not windy with the mid-gate folded. The Avalanche has an integrated tonneau and I think the Ram REVolution pre-production probably will as well. The guys I knew using Avalanches and the 2500 versions only folded the mid-gatet for hauling...

    Cybertruck Will Feel Dated By the Time it Comes Out?

    CT is a moving target. Specs keep getting changed and they are not small specs; 4-motor, rear steer, is Tesla going to just keep adding "promised" specs as other manufacturers actually sell their EV trucks? Tesla has a wealth of engineering knowledge and creativity but they are clearly not...

    Rear Seat Comfort?

    Pretty much everyone who has ever ridden on the rear seats of a Model S for more than 20 minutes has experienced this. There is no solution to the best of my knowledge. The beloved ground-up EV flat-floor drives the knees towards one's chest as the seat back curves the torso forward. The only...

    Model S Tire recommendation

    I would not expect long tire life from any particular brand or model tire, though some are more durable than others. Teslas, especially the Model S are HEAVY, and even when driving carefully they put down quite a bit of torque as well as all the wear from region and friction braking. I agree...

    Model S Tire recommendation

    Look-up the tires you are considering purchasing on Tire Rack or Discount Tire Direct sites and you will see if it they are "O.E."; also just use the Michelin site. The tires will also have markings on the sidewall denoting they are Original Equipment. Looks like your choice is Original...

    Oddly, you keep posting about Free Unlimited Supercharging (FUSC) transferability even though this is not the place for it. Apologies to the OP for this rant, but it should at least function as a bump to the top. Ostrichsak appears to be an FUSC transfer subject matter expert. Could it be...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs AS4

    Have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S All Season on our S and they are awesome! All Season are often referred to as "No Season" tires, however, these PS4S are really great. The grip is amazing hot, cold, rain, twisty roads feels glued to the tarmac.

    A dilemma about a Ford Mustang Mach E on Order - What would you do?

    I would probably take delivery of the Mach-E, however, understanding it is an early model (2nd Model Year?) and it will likely have growing pains. Ford is doing many things right and they need their EVs to succeed. I would have purchased a Mach-E GT Performance if the dealers were not all...

    Is it worth it to get PPF and/or ceramic coating? What is a fair price?

    x 2 Many people think PPF is totally worthwhile and can justify the high expense to themselves, though I think for many it is often confirmation bias. Vehicles get rock chips and bug guts which burn through clearcoat and PPF does not solve those problems, it mitigates them at a very high...

    Is it worth it to get PPF and/or ceramic coating? What is a fair price?

    No, it's not worth getting PPF and ceramic coating. It is like wrapping your furniture in plastic, then putting an expensive coating on that plastic hoping that it will hold its value. When was the last time you saw a classic car with PPF installed? Ceramic coatings can make sense after paint...

    Switch to a Porsche Taycan or Audi E-Tron GT?

    Switch to the Taycan and select exactly the spec you want. You will forget about the weaker, slower UI as your driving enjoyment increases. I always enjoyed One Pedal Driving, until we got a Taycan and I realized the ride is much smoother overall, especially for the passengers. Using the brake...

    Level three charging?

    There really is no "Level III" charging. Level I and II are AC charging. What you might be referring to is DC Fast Charging (includes Tesla Supercharging). I think some EVgo stations do have Tesla Supercharger connectors. EVgo suggests using PlugShare to find Tesla compatible DC Fast Charging...
