    Which is why you wait until the vehicle is mostly full of water, and the pressure is equalized and the door opens very easily. And if you’re concerned about breaking windows for emergency egress, there are cheap devices for that. All emergency personnel are supposed to have them as well.

    You mean like using the manual door release located in front of the window switches? Yeah, Tesla has thought of that. If only Tesla could get people to RTFM…

    I was bored and tired, so I pulled a Wipster and took a much needed 2+ hour nap.

    Anyone know how to report poetry posts? Mod edit: I'll hotlink you to the Sr. Moderator. Do be prepared to prove that what you object to is, in hard fact, poetry. Anyone know how to append a "funny" sticker to a mod comment? ;) Mod edit: Disruption is hard.

    With a potential shareholder vote looming to approve the move from Delaware to Texas, don't holders of shorted shares have to return them to their rightful owner? Is that what we're seeing today, shorts covering?

    I think Elon’s progenies indicates he has no interest in f***ing robots. What’s next, GM making brain implants? I think Mary should step up and volunteer to lead to be the first recipient.

    Don’t know what if any limit there is. They’re expecting a lot of business based on how big the parking lot is.

    Oct 18 (Reuters) - Tesla's third-quarter gross margin shrank from a year earlier as the electric automaker slashed prices to boost demand in the face of rising interest rates. The company reported a gross margin of 17.9% for the quarter ended September, compared with 25.1% a year earlier, when...

    Tesla roadside assistance contracts with local towing service, including the one today. Oddly enough, the truck dispatched yesterday wasn’t able to get the car out of the garage, and that driver was not versed in towing a Tesla as it was his first, and he stated he has been in the business a...

    No, because I don't waste time with people who spew BS comments like that. Same reason that I have a healthy ignore list on TMC.

    Off topic galore

    FUD comes at you from all angles, not just MSM. Wife's Long Range Y barely 5 week old died a horrible, infant mortality death of a (probably) power control module affecting the driver side, disabling everything with a power lock. Sigh. The FUD? Not this post, but the tow truck driver who...

    Sure hope we’re all done horsing around now. Wife’s new Model Y from Fremont almost flawless. Getting it wrapped over the next few days then hitting the road. Bummed the FSD I transferred doesn’t work yet with HW4, or so I’ve read on TMC.

    Finally talked my wife into getting a Tesla. She, for some reason I’ll never understand, loves her 13 year old Camry Hybrid. Women. Going through the process, and today received their trade in offer (took a while to receive; Probably couldn’t stop laughing) and one of the final steps was taking...

    TSLA must be down because Ford hired Apple ex exec Peter Stern to head Ford's integrated services division. Stern to build a world class software team to build a Ford, software as a service division. Probably will steal all of the world class S/W engineers from Tesla, thus killing Tesla for...

    Thanks for the info! I’ve had the beta auto wipers turned off for a long time because it was poorly implemented. Just was out with 11.4.3 today in light rain and will have to turn the feature back on. Not on my S. Stalk mounted wiper control with the beta wipers option turned off does not...

    Yeah, I get the anxiety one might have, faced with an option like that, especially if it were a last minute decision.

    I disagree with your line of thinking. Have you ever lost a loved one to an accident that FSD could have avoided? Ever dozed off behind the wheel, if even for a fraction of a second? Many have. Ever have a little too much to drink and know you really shouldn't drive, but do anyhow? Sadly...

    FSD discussion

    $2500 Infotainment upgrade to MCU2 done July, 2020. Included replacement (yellowing) screen, AP3 hardware (HW3?) upgraded (gratis - bought FSD in 2016 with S purchase) So, maybe Model S doesn't get the prompt? Clueless. Will have to pay more attention the screen prompts next drive, although...

    FSD discussion

    As does the old "bug report" method, or at least it used to as best I recall. I've never seen an FSDb disengagement prompt, and I disengage quite often in my area. At times it does some scary things which I'm not about to test that it will ultimately do the right thing. Is there a setting to...

    May I borrow your Time Machine for a few minutes? I’d like to go back to the Tesla IPO and dump every penny I had back then into $TSLA, instead of having done it DCA fashion after the fact. Thanks in advance! BTW: was that 1074 BC or AD?
