Apparently BMW already has this feature: BMW Unlimited Range

Too bad you are only asking us to vote on vehicles. If not, I was going to vote for the option that said "Two NHTSA's, three 'recalls', an SEC, a class action and five 'X' dramas"....but I guess that still only puts us into early 2025...

About 18 months ago, I had something similar happen with my 2016 MS. While there was no event that caused it, over time it just started to shake a bit at the top of the opening cycle, drop an inch and beep twice. I simply reset the max height so that it stopped about an inch lower than max and...

Sometimes when I'm travelling down the highway, I hear an alternating high/low pitch sound like a siren coming from behind my car. However, I find that if I push the accelerator right to the floor for about a minute or so, it quickly fades off into the distance.

I just ate peanut butter on toast. It was delicious.

I read the same thing. As it's now getting the temp info from the internet, in addition to choosing between C or F, you now can select either liberal or conservative weather sources, i.e. the "The Earth is going to end in twelve years" or "Climate Change is a hoax" websites. You can still...

My MS has done the same thing on and off (usually when I've parked it wet) for a few years now. I've had the brakes serviced by Tesla a couple of times and there doesn't seem to be a long term problem. Before parking it wet, I will sometimes set the regen to 'low' so that the car uses the...

Many of us tend to have the battery gauge display % instead of miles. The trip planner is surprisingly accurate and in eight years of ownership I've never experienced range anxiety. You'll notice that under certain circumstances (temp, wind, elevation changes etc.) you will consume more energy...

Maybe they thought you were from the police dept. It's not quite black and white - but not far off :). I agree with the others...worth a redo.

When I saw the title of your post, I thought there was going to be some place for us to vote. ;)

"This just in....there was an EV Car fire today in Colorado. While the Fire Dept. confirmed that it wasn't a TESLA, witnesses say that it could have been...and you should be very concerned..."

Be nice. I think we should give the reporter a break. The fact that he spelled every word correctly is quite a feat given his apparent IQ. Some of the big words must have taken lots of practice.

Would have been fun to watch your rear tailgate opening and closing in the driveway. :)

Wonder if the glovebox airbags went off to keep the driver's wallet safe so he has enough $ for repairs.

I was just about to open a new business that I was going to call 'Bill and Larry's cheapest auto body shop' but now I guess that's off the table. Thanks a lot.

Corrected Headline: CNN "journalist" "reports" on NHTSA "recall" of Tesla vehicles due to autopilot involvement in nearly 1000 "crashes"

According to some media outlets, your car will explode, bring down the power grid and cause a fire that will never end. People will rush back to coal as the one true energy source, democracy will be restored, all this climate nonsense will become a distant memory, crime will disappear and we'll...

I think government mandates have a lot to do with it. 30 years ago, I started to see lots of people with cell phones and I ultimately decided to try one. I've since given up my landline and haven't given it another thought since. If however, the government had told me that they were going to...

Did you happen to notice your spouse peeking through the window blinds to see if you accepted the request? ;)

So that's where it is! It's the connector that enables flawless full self driving. Someone must have accidentally dropped one into your car at the factory. It's not supposed to be available for a few more years I think.

Same thing here. No desserts and a month of sit-ups did the trick for me ;).

I think that one is to froth your milk.

And perhaps like this one...although it is slightly different.

Kind of sounds like when my wife says she's 'fine'. I'd be worried if I were you. ;)

I was going to recommend a hacksaw and a pair of rubber gloves. Glad you got it fixed. ;)

I wonder if they could also have it spray out an invisible, orderless gas that over time, pollutes our atmosphere. When I hit the pedal, I'd like some random clunks thrown in so that the acceleration is slower and less smooth. Maybe they'd even give us a receptacle under the hood where we...

Looks like the 'Marx/Lenin' Luxury Tax is already in there so now you just add HST.

Looks like the secret codes to enable flawless FSD, motor longevity to one million miles and make your actual range equal what's shown on the dash. One of the Tesla engineers must have accidentally dropped it in during manufacturing. Apparently they've been looking for it ever since :cool:

I think that one is for flawless FSD, the other makes the motors last 1 million miles and the third makes your actual driving range equal what's shown on the dash. Apparently Tesla is not using them yet.

I know the answer but need $2000 USD in order to complete the paperwork required to explain it to you. Please feel free to DM me the funds at your convenience. ;)

Some drivers have noticed an odd correlation between the rate of tire wear and high energy consumption stats. They must be somehow linked. I hope Tesla can come up with a software update for this. :cool:

I have the good fortune of having both FSD and a dog that sounds rather like Skooby-Doo. Once when I was in a store, my dog must have barked something that sounded like 'ravigate to ricdonalds' ...and there I was chasing my car down the street as he and the kittens went through the drive-thru...

In the spirit of this conversation, I'm currently comparing Model Y to a dump truck. With the dump truck I can bring my whole family and carry all of our stuff in a way that makes it easy to unload when we reach our destination. When you think about it, it's a step up (literally and...

I've had something similar happen a few times after leaving a supercharger. Wonder if it is related to this thread: Mysterious 5% range increase immediately after leaving Supercharger

Or like this one.

"X"

I've had similar experiences starting sometime last year. I drive a 2016 MS and now find that when I leave the SC it will often improve my estimated range by up to 8-10%....but then sometime later in the trip, it will drop quicker than it should and use up some or all of that 'extra' range. I...

Hard to tell from a 5 second clip, but I have a very similar noise (although not quite as loud) with my 2016 MS. I've had it into Tesla Service twice and after a test drive and what they tell me was a thorough inspection of the suspension components, it is 'normal'. Admittedly I've had the...

Mostly for government officials and celebrities to ride into town to attend a climate conference after landing their private jet. 😇

"Solid state batteries are the future of EV tech"...and always will be. :)

It's a similar noise to a worn sway bar...just a guess.

While I'm not an engineer and so am in no position to judge anyone's engineering abilities, I think there is some merit to the idea that it's their respective approaches to the work which sets them apart. GM is a large company with a 'follow the rules' culture where you excel by doing things...

I like Bjorn Nyland's term "Fossil Cars" (because they run on dinosaur juice). It simultaneously describes how they work and where they are headed.

Had lightning strike the ground a few feet from my house about a month ago. Killed my computer, TV, stereo receiver, central vac and garage door opener. MS was plugged in at the time but (apparently) undamaged. Fingers crossed that the surge didn't make it past the charger. I'd love to say...

Congratulations to all twelve people in Ontario for whom ULOW rates will actually save money. For the rest of us, I guess we just have to wait until the government realizes they need to shift their strategy from ‘smoke & mirrors’ to ‘meat and potatoes’.

I think you mean 'CDO'. I hate it when people use acronyms with the letters out of alphabetical order :)

Just ask your girlfriend to pick you up at Home Depot from now on. :cool:

We were there a few months ago. Road from Bancroft to Petawawa is hilly in parts with lots of twists and turns so watch for bad weather. Once you are there, the supercharger in Deep River is close enough to be convenient for a top up when you arrive and before you leave. Have fun!

I've been searching Facebook as well but so far have only found out that the moon landing was faked and that I might secretly be a communist. I'll keep looking though.

Well I'm sorry to say that it might be time for a new wife. Not sure how old your's is but you'll find that women born after about 1980 tend to be more technically savvy and less inclined to experience glitches like this. While switching to a newer a model may be more expensive in the short...
