I went to the Very Large Array in a Lexus GX while on the way to Arkansas for an eclipse road trip. But I didn't really want to go, my dad really wanted to go even though it's 2 hours out of the way from Flagstaff AZ to Albuquerque NM. I felt the Grand Canyon was more worth it, it's easier to...

I am debating if I should get tire socks or chains for snowboarding. Mainly Mammoth or Big Bear because the website says they can check chains but I don't know how strict they are about it. I rather just not put on chains if I don't have to. I went to Mammoth when it said chains may be...

Has anyone considered buying a used Hydrogen car? They're very cheap and you can buy a used one that's like 2-5 years old for about $7500 at the very lowest. Is there a reason why they are so cheap? I heard Shell is getting rid of hydrogen stations or maybe it's hard to find a hydrogen...

I'm just wondering how can these billion dollar companies make so much money with slim profit margins? Like a normal person may go do their 9-5 job, they spend $10-$20 on gas or electricity, they make $150-$200 day before or after tax so they at least 15x their money if they paid $10 for gas...

How do you pay for Chargepoint when you have to pay for it? I went to Las Vegas Dave and Busters and that chargepoint used to be free but it is not anymore, it said $2 per 1 hour I believe. But I checked my app to see how many Kwh it gave the car and it was around 32c per Kwh which is okay to...

My arcade friend disagrees with me and Tesla drivers in general using autopilot. He calls them all bad drivers because they want the car to do everything for us and control our lives. But the Tesla may be the only reason I don't care to drive 1+ hour because I have this assurance that...

Is there any possibility of Apple implementing Apple Vision Pro with Tesla self driving? I think one start could be finding a way to turn blind spots like when you look down viewable from the Apple Vision Pro with exterior cameras. Or have HUD and markers like of other cars outlined in red so...

I checked used BMW i8 and alot of 2015-2016 BMW i8 can be bought for around $50k-60k. Almost as much as a brand new Tesla but be more unique. I feel it's cheaper than buying a Ferrari for $300k but it can still deliver the same wow factor of an exotic for so cheap. Especially if you want to...

How does the new autopilot update know if I'm not looking at the road or use my phone? Or even just looking at the GPS screen. I saw there is a camera on the top of the window where the mirror is. If I put tape over it will it disable the ability for autopilot to spy on me? Like how does it...

Will the Tesla semi supercharge at the normal Tesla superchargers intended for normal commuter cars? How will it wait in line if it has a trailer attached? During peak hours. Will the truck have to take up all the superchargers just to charge one truck with a trailer attached? Or will it...

I want to find a way to be able to take my Segway GT1 which is a super scooter. It's massive and it's about 100 pounds. I can lift it into the car and it will fit, but it's not easy to do it all the time. But I'm willing to do it sometimes so I can take this scooter to places like the beach...

How much Tesla stock would someone need to buy to make $50 hour or $100k year? I don't know how much time you must be willing to wait it out, but is 10 years a reasonable amount of time to make $50 hour on average accounting for all bull and bear market situations? At some arcades I could make...

Is there a way to figure out if it's worth going out of your way for an Offer Up transaction where the seller or buyer asks you to come to them? How do you factor in the energy cost and cost of ownership? Tesla always has these banners telling about cost of ownership and it says 43c mile on...

I checked my banking statement and So Cal Edison is on autopay. And this time I checked it was $344.35 on November 20, 2023. Should autopay be paying off 1 months statement each time? Would my Tesla most likely be the most expensive electronic consuming most of the energy contributing to...

The 2018 Tesla Model 3 was sold to CarMax around March 2023 for $23500. So what happened after that who will justify buying a used Tesla Model 3 with 100k miles. Is 100k miles like alot for a car when buying used? I always had this idea that if I spill Starbucks in my car, that it's not a new...

Is there any way to justify one person to own 2 cars at once. Not like a family or couple who owns 2 cars total, but just one person who owns two cars. I know Dan Brazilian owns alot of cars and he is an example of someone who owns too many cars for one person to handle. So he said something...

Does it make sense that people who are engineers and are good at developing automation have the chance to make more money than someone who does a job that needs 1 human to do that job? I'm just wondering what are the pros / cons / struggles / benefits if you go this route of developing AI /...

Is there are such a classification of people that hate robots / AI nearly the same way people can hate on a certain race. I know someone that always hating anything that's autonomous or is a robot. We were in LA and he saw one of those food delivery robots and he started saying like, "those...

Is Audi doing a major discount on E-trons GTs right now? I've started seeing them as often as a new Corvette Stingray. It looks like an exotic car but I don't know if it's really considered an exotic car, it seems more like a reasonably prices nice sports car. But I still like the car and...

I already have the older Elon Musk edition wall connector I got around 2019. The older gen one with the thicker cable from around 2018-19. I’m browsing offer up for people selling the current gen wall connector. I am wondering if an older wall connector is already installed and charging my...

There is a solar eclipse in April 2024 and I'm thinking to go to Texas. Mainly because there are tons of arcades out there and there is a new Dave and Busters I want to visit. And Dallas will be the area with the longest totality or at least not a long drive to a place with the longest...

Can Tesla or any car company develop some kind of break in solution for cars? My main idea is to have some foldable metal wires that can go up when the car is parked automatically. Like when you leave the Tesla these metal wires go up whenever the car is locked. It will be square shaped so...

If you work for Tesla as an engineer, scientist, programmer, etc. How many decimal places are these professionals expected to be accurate by? I typed in a random question in google asking "how many decimal places does NASA use" and I got an answer of 15 decimal places. If it were whole...

This is one of the main reasons I am glad I don't drive a gas car anymore. Especially when travelling or going to bad areas. Gas stations are a place where desperate people will commit crimes or scams. And when I drove the Lexus GS it seemed at some point someone is going to ask me for money...

Right now I own a Tesla Model Y. I've checked out and test driven a Model X but it feels slightly bigger but still gonna be hard to fit something like a bike. Then I saw a Toyota Sienna at the fair at a Toyota booth and I was surprise how massive the interior space is. If I had some...

I was at an arcade (Round1) in Las Vegas and this place has free Volta chargers around the mall. I went at night and there was a security officer asking someone about sleeping in his car. He said he was charging his car and sleeping in there. I thought this must have been the most...

I sold my Tesla Model 3 at around 98k miles, so rounded up 100k miles. It was sold to CarMax for $23500 assuming I am correct because I don't have the paper in front of me but I'm certain it was $23,500. I think the car was like $56k when purchased this was the 2018 Model 3 long range, so the...

Will the cybertruck be the only Tesla vehicle that you can drive over a curb? My dad has a Lexus GX470 and it's the only car that can take advantage of going over curbs for parking spots separated by a curb. Instead of trying to straighten a car for a parking spot with say a curb on the left &...

In Las Vegas I hit a curb around 30-40 mph, at local street speeds. It was like a curb divider that was thin. In Las Vegas, their local roads seem to like putting super thin curbs on their streets to force you into this lane for left turns. I don't see how it's a great idea, it's just feels...

So I subscribed to FSD on accident and paid the $100 month, then cancelled it so I have until around July 3 to use it. At first I was kind of disappointed I had no idea it was super basic and could only go forward and do stop signs and green lights, and it still forced me to use the gear stalk...

I'm just wondering about the people who are one the fence of buying a Tesla / EV because of how long it takes to charge. Because they say filling up at the gas station is faster. But then, you have to do it at some point in your commute, meaning you will have to stop. Even if you only...

I have a Model Y performance but it's hard to accelerate without fear that I forgot I had something in the trunk that goes flying around. The Tesla Model Y is fast enough to throw my Segway E-scooter around that sometimes it hits the back of the trunk or if I brake too hard it slams into the...

I just walked into a Toyota dealership because they had a nearby subway that accepted a BOGO footlong promo code. So I really came there to just pick up mobile order sandwich. And just by walking in I'm like already asked to buy a car by 4 salesman trying to strike up a conversation with me...

What does Elon mean when he said this, I saw it in an article recently about "we are a growth company, not profit". Is he saying he wants Tesla to focus more on making money by volume with less profit margin over higher profit margins but potentially selling less? Seems with all these price...

I went to Car Max to sell them my 2018 Model 3. I got the quote from them and they said mine had high miles at about 98,600 miles, so nearly 100k miles. They said they get Tesals with 10k-20k miles alot of times. But then, why would people sell their cars after just 10k miles, that seems like...

So I already got my Model Y and now it's time to sell the Model 3. My parents purchased the Model 3 about 4 years ago in 2018 of Dec. And they are the ones who want to sell it right away and they don't want to wait around because the value may go down the more months we wait. I'm not sure if...

I just realized my Tesla Model Y has no home link. And I believe it's a $300 add on now because I see articles talking about that homelink was removed from Tesla Model 3 in 2019. I got a Tesla Model 3 around December 2018 and it was included, and I assumed it was suppose to just be there, but...

I have a question about the supercharging subscription. It's $12.99 month it says you pay lowest price. What does lowest price mean? Like if it has an off peak time like 23c it will let you charge at 23c at any time of the day? But if it's one of those middle of nowhere superchargers like...

I'm trying to figure out how I can see Tesla supercharging cost without being inside my Tesla using the screen. Right now I have to use the screen to find the times & kWh rate. But I rather be able to do that outside my car like on smartphone or computer. Is there a possible way to find all...

I would like to find a deal on a Wall Connector Gen 3 on Offer Up. I see one for $300 right now. But is there any possible way to test one if it's open box? Like if the green light comes on? Also what key parts do I need to be sure are included? I checked the official instruction manual, on...

So now I have the Model Y, can I just switch over everything to the Tesla Model Y? Or are subscriptions car based only and need to be cancelled on its own? I may get the year subscription for premium connectivity for ≈$99/year instead of ≈$10 month. So like that means 2 months free in a 12...

What is the exact height the top of the trunk will be at it's fullest opening? Will the trunk really just hit whatever is on top of it if it's too low? Is there no sensor to stop it from going too high? My garage has a roof hanging storage, and I think it's too low, but I could adjust it...

I'm thinking to get some all weather floor mats for the Tesla Model Y. But I don't really want to spend extra few hundred bucks for the back part of the Tesla Model Y mainly because if I'm just hauling clean stuff I rather have that carpet flooring. The only activities that may warrant some...

I get my bill for So Cal Edison online and it says amount due $192.07 for statement date 3/9/2023. I charge my Tesla at home every night, usually it's about 10%-20% if I only do local driving from home to office. Which is like a 20 min commute from Lake Forest to Irvine. I think I am paying...

I got all the options I wanted but the Tow Hitch is the only thing I was considering. The only thing I thought about was to haul stuff but I don't really know how to tow stuff nor have any experience in it. My parents don't recommend getting jet skis or ATVs and they never have done that...

Is it possible that Tesla will keep lowering the price of EVs in the future and have random flash sales at random moments due to government incentives? These sales don't seem to be like black friday deals where it's a annual thing or predictable. It seems Tesla only does sales if it has to and...

I just found out that the $6000 autopilot gets taxed. It’s kind of a bummer I thought it be something that doesn’t get taxed. Like buying a digital download game from the Xbox store, you don’t get taxed. I thought autopilot was similar to buying a digital file like a movie on iTunes thus...

I have a 2018 or 2019 Model 3 that currently has 95k miles bought in Dec 2018, so it's now 4 years old. I want to consider getting the Model Y due to the current price reduction and potential tax credit. And also I could use the space of the Model Y SUV to do more road trips, haul more arcade...

My parents recently bought a new Lexus GX so it comes with the most up to date GPS / infotainment system. But it's still a drag to enter addresses in or use the actual GPS that my parents will still resort to just using the iPhone map because it's much faster. Even though this is a brand new...

I did a road trip from Southern CA (Orange County) to Northern CA (Sunnyvale) with my arcade friend. And wow everytime we had to supercharge he will vent his frustration and anger every time we had to do it. He will say why not do it later I don't want to do it now. But he also doesn't want...
