Model 3 Myths

"Tesla is really a software company and they make great software."
LOL, just don't try to use auto wipers, AP, FSD, Spotify, auto high beam, Sentry, or anything software based.

"If you buy a dual motor Model 3, you won't have to worry about being stranded if one motor fails."
Ask all the people that had their Model 3's disabled when there was a failure in their rear motor and they had to be towed.

Press "advanced" 10 times to force a firmware update.
"Software updates make the Tesla better with every update."
Well, some things get better, but it definitely happens that some things get worse. Ask the guy that almost killed his dog in a hot car when a software update caused Dog Mode to fail.

I can fill up my gas car in 2 mins so why would I have an EV?
Sigh!

Where were the rules to this thread, officer? A myth is a myth.
To me, the biggest problem with becoming a first time Tesla owner is all the myths of goodness that aren't true. I would have been better off knowing the truth upfront. I still like my Model 3, and I would buy it again, but I wouldn't want to go through learning the hard way again about the myths that are propagated by fanboys.
Fanboys are as harmful as short sellers with their lies, but their lies are just on the other side of the spectrum.

I don't believe that was an update issue. That edge-case flawed behavior was there to start with (and I knew about it before that report surfaced with that story).
The only time I've found an update to be arguably a true regression was the ELDA fiasco. A feature add that was flawed in many use cases that you couldn't [initially] opt out of.
So I'm gonna have to give a thumbs down on this being a "myth". My car has consistently improved over the last 20 months, in relatively small but constant steps, to the degree it is head spinning to look back on. In 2018 at times it struggled to hold the lane in relatively modest degree highway curves, and it was spooky as all get out with tight exchange ramps. My car now stops by itself for red lights and stop signs? It'll now finish a 90 degree left turn through an intersection at a T when the lane is marked with paint as turn-only? Ok, it'll beep at me that it is concerned about confidence, still mind boggling.

There's a little gasoline engine in there for when the battery runs out.
He said Tesla told him they were coming up with a fix in a later version. I guess he could be a short seller making sh*t up, or you could be a fanboy that covers for everything Tesla does wrong. But I have also watched YouTube videos from Tesla loyalists that point out functions that got worse with updates, so I don't know if I should believe you or them.
I'll work on it, fanboy.

That doesn't change that it was behavior that was there all along.
Or you could have trouble reading? LOL You'd expect this from someone that uses the word "fiasco"? Come on, man. Think.
There's specific trade-offs in behaviors in the driving AI you'll see. Sometimes there is borrowing from one to benefit another, and the result is a push overall there. But really that's a step sideways, at worst.
Damm, no one posted my fav one to hear..."Those things catch fire all the time, its a deathtrap"
Followed by the battery constantly needs replacing an its 10k for one.

How much power can you charge here? 1.21 Giga watts. Does it also have a flux capacitor?
(Sorry, this was not a myth, just my observation of the above picture)

According to Wikipedia, a typical lightning bolt carries about 5 gigajoules of energy, which is delivered in "a few microseconds". Now, a 100 kWh battery can store 360 megajoules of energy (100k * 60 * 60). Assuming 80% efficiency of the charging system, that single lightning bolt has enough energy to charge 11 Teslas .. in microseconds!
Time to patent "LightningCharger" .. drive up .. blink .. drive away fully charged!. As a bonus it also cooks any food placed in the trunk, sanitizes the car, and exfoliates your skin. What could possibly go wrong?
