Ride the Lightning: Tesla Motors Unofficial Podcast

I took delivery of Model S 75D on Friday, September 9. On Tuesday this week somebody came to my office to inform me that my car had moved to the middle of the parking lot blocking the exit. Of course I quickly went to the car and parked it properly. From Tesla service I found that my Phone App...

With the fatal accidents mounting up because of blatant failure of the basic automatic emergency braking to stop the car, much less the autonomous driving recognizing the obstacle and changing lanes, would you still consider this feature? Automatic emergency braking had been out for a little...

Hi All, Apologies if this has already been written about, I did a handful of quick searches, but didn't find anything. I just received a ticket for Negligent Driving in the 2nd degree in WA state on a long road trip for allegedly not holding onto the steering wheel. All the officer said was...

I start with the Tesla crash in Florida and the huge amount of publicity it got. Some people will have an immediate gut reaction and say "I'll never trust my life to a self-driving car." But fast forward a few years when a car with some level of autonomy becomes more common and instead of 1...

Tesla Autopilot with new v8.0 software update is able to handle highway interchanges "That means that with v8.0, Autopilot will be able to automatically (always under the driver’s supervision) drive from one highway to another with the simple activation of the turn signal." I don't have...

Tesla will soon introduce new Autopilot safety restrictions after recent accidents "According to sources familiar with the Autopilot program, Tesla will add a safety restriction that will result in not only the Autopilot disengaging after alerts are repeatedly ignored, but also blocking the...

I think I may definitely be in the minority here, but I just don't get the huge demand for autonomous personal vehicles. Firstly, I am seeing so many people saying that they want a base Model x (x as in the variable) as long as it has autopilot - and that is their first option. I figure that...

I've tried to find comparisons and nothing that I have found is better or even close to Tesla's autopilot. Is this true or am I missing something. I'd like to test drive something that comes close or better as a comparison, if that exists.

Comparison of Tesla Auto Pilot with Mercedes new 2017 efforts. Not much of a contest. The War For Autonomous Driving: 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class VS. 2017 Tesla Model S

Has anybody calculated the reaction time that would have been required to avoid that crash? I've personally been in 2 accidents in the last 25 years where I "saw it coming" but was not prepared to do anything about it. Both times there was a vague "hmm, this is unusual" moment followed by a...

Does anyone know if there's a way for an owner to determine how many miles an AP enabled Model S has driven with AP activated?

Nader: Technology not ready for fully autonomous cars His main argument is they'd be vulnerable to hacking. If he thinks it's too risky to build our society on technology that can be hacked he's a bit late with the warning. This favors versions that are as closed and vertically integrated as...

Electrek reports today that a Wall Street Journal article reports that the head administrator of NHTSA said it is important to allow Tesla and other manufacturers to make progress toward autonomous cars. Sorry that I do not know how to include a link to the article on Electrek.

I am curious how autonomous vehicles will deal with rail road track crossings without arms? I had watched a news program about rail road crossing safety and the next day I realized trees were obscuring the lights for a track I cross every day. I had not seen a train here at this time of days for...

Which films have self driving vehicles you summon up? I thought it would be fun to make a list, see how the concept was presented over the decades, and how it might relate to reality.

Now that full autonomy and fleet sharing are officially part of Master Plan Part Deux, I'm curious to see how many present/future owners here would be willing to participate. Would you let your baby out un-escorted if it generated revenue?

I haven't seen any poll yet but Elon tweeted that there's one that not a single Tesla owner wants to disable the Autopilot as demanded by some of the press in the media. Let's do one in this forum if it hasn't been done. Thanks.
