Musk Says Tesla Can Rebuild Puerto Rico’s Power System. I wish Musk could focus on the Model 3 rollout more.
Job One IMO is to
- Communicate more often / accurately to Model 3 customers who have placed reservations
- Produce more Model 3 feature videos in preparation for the 1st wave of non-employee orders
In 2017, customers should not have to order a Model 3 'blind' (not 100% clear on features) and a test drive should be available should a reserving customer want one. Otherwise, Tesla should offer a 100% refund on the car should the customer determine they have a change of heart on the day of delivery.
While the Model 3 is my primary choice, a 2018 Volvo XC60 T8 PHEV will give me 4.9 seconds to 60 MPH, 5-doors, a $5,000 fed tax credit, access to the carpool lane, and....
Adaptive Cruise Control w/Pilot Assist
When Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) detects a slower vehicle in front, the speed automatically adapts to that vehicle. If the vehicle in front slows down and stops, ACC will make the your vehicle stop comfortably behind it, and then keep the brakes engaged. The driver can adjust time gaps. ACC is supplemented with Pilot Assist which not only keeps the set speed and distance to a vehicle in front, but also supports the driver in keeping the car within the lane as well. It relieves the driver from the need to constantly adapt the speed to the vehicle in front and adjust the steering to keep within the lane in low speed traffic. Pilot Assist is available at speeds up to 80 mph. Pilot Assist is restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force a driver can apply.
