How can he possibly find the time for that, when he needs to suck down a couple hours/day of trash online, and then miss sleep while s***posting on twitter?

I had not heard of this act, though its source material I had. I looked up where the idea came from on wiki ;)

Conspiratorial alt-right fringe silliness has begun to arrest his mind. This is not something that tends to go away. It is a "progressive" condition. Can I assume your post was in jest, given your use of this term?

It's strange to me you seem to hold this view that tesla is infallible in its decisions, damn everyone--even its customers. It will do what it wants and screw them if they dare to complain and cause it to correct course. Telsa didn't introduce the yoke because it's better. They introduced it...

100%. Modern automatics are better in literally every way (albeit not simplicity if one breaks I suppose...). I used to be a manual fanatic. They are just dinosaurs now--fully deprecated. Their heyday is gone. They can't handle the power autos can and they aren't as efficient, either.

Here's a simple example. Remember all the different cars you've gotten into and couldn't immediately figure out what turns on the headlights, or which button(s) or levers are used to run the wipers? I sure can. Now, remember all the times you have been in different vehicles and didn't know...

Just because something is new doesn't mean it's not stupid....e.g. this on hyundai's new santa fe.

I don't have a pilot's license. I like this thing but it sure is expensive.

Very similar numbers then to mine in terms of system size to daily output 😎

Thanks. I'll update this thread if I see anything. Same situation as me? I @S&#ing blasted that rocket panel to be honest. I don't even wanna post a pic cause it's bent in like a SOB. I've literally never done this in my life. Until/unless I can find a good cover I'm just going to ignore it...

They'll still pinch flat by looking at them wrong where I live (western new york). Absolutely sick and tired of, and completely over, low profile tires. 18" was one positive factor in my standard model 3. My previous two cars had six-micron thick sidewalls and I was blowing tires on an annual...

How big is your system? I have an 11.4 kWh system (not Tesla) installed a year back. I've seen it hit 10.4 kWh, but most production in a day has been around 72 kWh. I'm in New York with a pretty nicely angled southern roof. Biggest month for me last year was May. Although the days are longer...

Thanks, those are perfect, but they are also $1k+. Those and the ones in my first post are the only ones I can find that really go nice and high and, unfortunately, are carbon fiber (hence high cost). The ABS plastic ones that did go high no longer seem to be made.

Whelp, I slowly was leaving a parking spot today and side swiped an unusually long (and high)curb today, and now the rocker panel is bent in quite smartly. Evidently the repair is utterly hideous ($10k+), as there’s no way it can be pulled out. I hit the scrapes with some touch-up, but...

I am guessing that a power train issue like a bad motor or battery would be multiple five digits.

Do they depreciate as quickly as teslas? :)

Where's the fun in that? Like hot damn that color combo is @&#&ing abominable. It's hard to even think of one worse. Maybe neon green would be worse.

You're still being too kind. I recall in 2012 Nissan said they'd have an autonomous car in 2020. I'm pretty sure that in 2019 they didn't say the same (perhaps they did in the 7 year interim some more). Musk has been saying for almost a decade that they are a year away. Over and over and over...

I've not had to interact with service much. My impression is it's great when it works well, but when it doesn't it's a hassle. It was quite a chore to get my local place to order a part. With any legacy brand I would have called the parts counter guy up, at the dealership, and a human being...

Audi was kind of our dream car for a while. I still might get one, but a gas powered one has likely also sailed for me. TBH I'd look at Volvo as I enjoyed my last two and they are taking electrification fairly seriously. As for your friend, it continues to disappoint me that people are so...

I like this use. My wife is damn near blind at certain times in the day--like twilight she just really struggles. I can see FSD or analogs to it providing benefit to drivers well before we're at the point that it's actually FSD. --- Separately I see people talking about interventions, and I...

I've thought about this for a decade and to this day still do not understand why this is not more common. Nissan also had a sprayer for a camera lens (at least a patent I think) many, many years ago. As for FSD my wife used it for first time yesterday on an hourlong drive. Said it was cool, but...

I've definitely had some strange behavior in mine. I can say that i've not yet had a single drive where it doesn't exhibit some behavior that a human would not do (this is possible without a disengagement), so I continue to maintain Tesla is years away from a solution here, even though I would...

You may be right, but on the other hand in twenty years I bet that tesla is long since junked. Some of the last V8s to roll off the line now are going to to be notorious in coming decades as we're treated to the violent roar of their engines.

I've thought for years dodge has some of the best styling. My first ever pickup truck was and is a 2022 ram 1500 classic warlock. It was basically the cheapest new truck in 2022. Other than a weird issue with the window I've very much liked the truck and odds are > 50% I'll buy it when lease is up.

I got to use it on the highway last night. Trick is to use something springy like a surgical mask. Wrap it around the wheel spoke and then hold it in your hand. This way you can be "touching the wheel" and get rid of the annoying nagging (which doesn't otherwise work properly, nor did it on my...

I think it will be less about a new vehicle and more along the lines of "guys, for real serious this time it's about to release!", yet it will be another failed prediction from him in regard to FSD timeline. No honest person can believe FSD is anything close to ready for production. As...

Oh yeah, it does this all the time. I have no freaking clue why but it will spend large portions of the time, on perfectly marked roads, so far over to the right that I as the driver am centered as opposed to the car. It knows it's doing it because the graphic on screen shows the car offset.

This must be hyperbole. I do not believe it for one instant and, if it's true, you shouldn't be driving. I don't know you but I'd absolutely trust my life to you before FSD. My first experience with it is this past week. I am very impressed, but it's still got a lot of issues. Even in my...

Ever since the movie True Lies I wanted to visit the keys. I did a few years ago, and it was every bit as cool as I had hoped.

This literally describes every car they've ever released as far as I can tell :)

It's weird how people have such different experiences. Mine has been a lot better, but this (and my driving) lends to my sense that Tesla is still ultimately years away, at least, from having FSD to the point it can autonomously drive with accident rates < human drivers. On the whole I find the...

THIS is what youtube should be. Amazing video.

I am pretty sure I had this for AP but it all reset maybe. Anyway I adjusted and now good to go. Thanks! I could swear they had only MPH before but now it has mph and also percentage (at the same time). Not sure what diff is but % is better, so 10-11% is safe.

It's wild to me that Tesla still sells, this very second, Enhanced Autopilot and lists out a feature that unequivocally it does not have (below screenshot from a moment ago). At least with FSD they have that silly verbiage about regulators, but nothing within enhanced autopilot readily tells a...

Months and $20k+ is my wild assed guess.

They are and I am sure a couple of people have been on the cusp of honking at me while trying FSD. I continue to be impressed by my trial, but it goes RIGHT AT the speed limit unless you continually set the max speed higher every few minutes (in which case it will go 5 mph above). Then it very...

Was just renewed, with my annual premium decreasing from $6348 to $6163. The letter explicitly says that my insurer has a "First Accident Forgiveness" policy, so totaling the car has been "forgiven". They are so magnanimous. When two kids are off in the fall we're selling one of our cars and...

I'm on "average" for its mood and I found this as well. It also stops too far back from intersections if there is not a clear white line. If there is a white line it's good, else it hangs really far back. I find it drives like somebody on a driving test. This is not terrible. I remain very...

Another 11 miles tonight. There's on section of road I repeated that it cannot do, but it was able to navigate lights, parking lots well. The parking function is quite cool. For some reason it often has car on the right side of the lane, but my pessimism about these cars' FSD has definitely...

Was excited to try this got it today. Drove almost 20 miles through backroads and modest traffic with lights. Had to take over at one time. Overall I'm far more impressed than I thought I would be. If this was able to rely on eyes and drop the @&#^ing "touch steering wheel" nonsense I would...

Me, too, re. data. i think that study is referring to the data discussed here: https://www.notateslaapp.com/tesla-reference/1586/tesla-supercharging-does-not-significantly-affect-battery-life-study-reveals

Plastic panels like the Saturn might have been cool. Then we'd definitely not be discussing rust.

I put masking tape on mine a couple weeks ago. Now AP is usable again. The nagging was insufferable. Honestly, it's hard to say AP is much better than the nascent pilot assist I had on a 2018 volvo. I know it's capable of being better because it was better (it's capable of holding lane much...

I've not seen a CT yet in real life... I believe a person truly into off-roading would never in good faith consider such a vehicle. They're going to get a jeep or a bronco or something else. This thing--and frankly ANY AWD or 4WD vehicle--will have zero problem in the conditions 99% of us will...

For what it's worth I'm getting these tires off today and back to the all seasons. We had the warmest winter here since records started in the 1800's. That said, we did have a few times in slush and snow (and obviously these work better in cold temps) and I was quite impressed. The RWD Model 3...

I put a $100 deposit on one not long ago but now I see the prices....eh, can't see it happening.

Is it a separate social media platform, though? I'm of the impression he needs some mechanism to view actual tweets without signing up.

That looks better than the rusting bolt picture for sure. I guess on the plus if you just ignore the damn thing you can eventually throw some wrap on it. I know that stainless technically rusts, and there are various grades of it to resist this, but if most of these are going to have specks on...

That sounds like...a hassle. Granted, i don't wash my cars much so they always look dirty. Do these specks worsen over time--I don't mean accumulate, but if the speck is allowed to sit there will it be harder to remove later?
