Absolutely untrue. Waze is helpful, but radar still has value, especially on longer stretches of highway w/ less traffic (thus less waze users).

The new ones have digital notch filters to remove noise from active cruise/proximity sensors. The older ones are almost worse than useless with all the false alarms.
Add up the parts list for the full build. Could you get a total for us before we get to page 2000?Rear drive unit differences. I guess triple motor only costs $6580 more than dual. Why the $50K price difference???

I have a Uniden R7 that has easily paid for itself.
That is what an installer here in Houston has done - mounted under the front cut out for the bumper and on either side of the tailgate hatch. Video is focused on ceramic coating, but talk about the radar install. Edit: sorry for contributing to the off topic conversation :/
I guess it depends on the state but most places are switching or have switched to LIDAR. By the time you detect it, chances are the officer has already got your speed. There's also Robic, Vascar, etc which are undetectable.
Same here. Drive a 2011 Nissan Murano. First new car in 18 years. Been saving to do this for just under 4 years. Oh, performance car. Ridden in a few never drove one.This will be my first time experiencing a high performance Tesla too. I tried a M3P for a test with a friend, but didn't give it the full beans. Very excited to be in the world's fastest production car in a matter of weeks/months. Right now, I drive a Volvo, so it's going to be an unbelievable change
Remember that there will be an in-car occupant radar at some point, if not already, that could operate all the time. It was pointed out earlier in this thread that it's listed in the Model S Refresh manual. Low power, something like <0.7W. There are FCC documents on their website about it too. It could be an entirely different frequency to police radar though.
My other cars all have radar detectors and have saved me many times. Just wondering whether the windshield will be compatible with an internally mounted radar detector
I fully expect some material upgrade to the car in the next 6 months--it is the Tesla way:
- Parking sensors were added to the S the month after I took delivery
- AP2 was added to the X 6 months after we took delivery

PLAID
Seems like this guy is convinced the Plaid version is using the new batteries… Imagine a SU delivering Plaid owners 10% more range!

Now I don't have to worry about the CT being late, can do a lot with a trailer!
That would be huge. Being able to carry the bikes around would eliminate the only reason I ever drive my wife's SUV.
You could always install a third party hitch. I'm thinking of doing that to my current MS.

I know, and you know, but my wife don't...plus I still have a warranty, and don't want to mess that up.
I've looked at them and think they could have present some aerodynamic penalties.
The difference is that the old wheel buttons controlled nothing so important that using it couldn't wait while you made a turn, and the horn was a big fat center pad you could hit while the wheel is turning if needed. . The new one controls turn signals and the horn is a much smaller target. I am less clear on the advantages/disadvantages of the change in the controls for cruise control/AP -- I have never used the ones in Model 3 or Y.
Should be the same as an official tow hitch. The receiver is removable if you get a decent one, and a cap to close the hole in the bottom of the bumper.

Not as much as the 38', 2600 lb trailer that will be attached to it.
With said attachment, drops my Acura from 30 mpg to 22...and still faster from a light than an Escalade.
