    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    Great to hear, also just did a 3000 mile road trip in a Model 3. Everything went great, Autopilot drove most of the way which made it seem like an easy drive. Charging is so easy now - no waiting at all, just charge while you eat or sleep.

    This truck design had better be a joke....

    I thought it was ugly at first glance... but just ordered one. I like it more and more over time. I mean, is the F-150 nice looking? Seems very boring and ugly to me. The cybertruck will be awesome for contractors - more fun to drive, Autopilot for long trips, tons of storage, built in power...

    Senator asks Tesla to disable AP until they fix "anti-nag" tricks.

    This is complete nonsense - Markey is just plain despicable. Remember that he fought against nuclear power for decades, and now is cashing in on global warming with the green new deal. Instead of talking about the 40,000 annual deaths from car accidents, he's worried about Autopilot??

    Features I had to give up when I bought a Tesla

    I also came to Model 3 from a Lexus RX 350 F Sport - but wow, I don't miss anything at all! Before I returned the Lexus, I had to drive it a few times after having the Model 3, and it was horrible! Step on the gas, and nothing happens... for about the same price, I am so much happier with the...

    Model 3 crash....opinions

    Wow, this video is really worth watching - have to pause it and go frame by frame, it happens so fast. Incredible that the Tesla was not jumping a green light at all, it was just normal driving with the light already green. How the hell can human drivers be so horrible to blow through a red...

    Tesla V10 software update rollout: post here if you are still waiting

    Just got the update, M3 AWD LR HW2.5, bought AP as an option, then bought FSD when it became available. Finally worth getting FSD, in my opinion - Smart Summon is really cool. At first it didn't seem to work since my car was parked headfirst, Summon refused to back out into the public road...

    Impossibility of L5 using any level of new hardware

    Um, you mean one of the millions of human-caused accidents every year??? What scares me is driving along and seeing the kid in the next car texting/smoking/drinking and driving... Autopilot is already better than most humans! In the near future, I hope only expert drivers (proven with a...

    Sentry Mode Catches Hit in Parking Lot

    Wow, that is scary... just think, that lady is out there driving around every day, with kids in the car. She can't even handle a simple parking job - imagine how bad she is on the roads! Sadly, there are just too many of these people now, which is why I would like to see self driving cars take...

    Delivery Nightmare

    Yeah... Connecticut is another state fighting against Tesla (Tesla blocked (again) in Connecticut after judge rules in-state activities illegal). Why does registration have to be so difficult? Some states allow temporary plates, some don't... so hard for companies to deal with all that.

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    Um, isn't that the very definition of cherrypicking - looking at just 5 cases out of 1,000,000? If your main concern is saving lives, wouldn't it make more sense to focus on reducing the 1,000,000 instead of reducing the 5? Tesla is trying to reduce the total number of deaths, not to mention...

    Powerwalls for whole-house backup in NE US winter?

    Check with your utility - ours just offered a program where you can buy 2 PowerWalls for $25 per month each, free installation, and they will use off peak power to charge the batteries at night, which you can then use during the peak times. Unfortunately we didn't get in this time, sold out...

    anyone that purchased FSD at delivery get an invite to the Early Access Program yet?

    Yeah... I really wish they would allow us to request updates. I would be happy to sign a release/waiver/NDA, since I always pay attention while driving, I feel very safe when using EAP/FSD. But it seems that progress would be faster with more testers, right?

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    Ok, that is just not true. Why are you only looking at cherrypicked Tesla incidents, when so many people die in car accidents every day?? Society puts up with those "human sacrifices" because the alternative would be to just stay in one place. But Tesla is one of the leading companies trying...

    Delivery Nightmare

    Yes, it's true that Tesla has serious delivery issues right now. Obviously, most are just growing pains that will eventually be worked out. But how many are caused by regulations? The big car companies have a very powerful lobby, and in many states Tesla is severely limited in what they can...
