I am happy to report that track mode with bias completely to the rear does excellent donuts and fishtails in a snow covered parking lot!

I really wish CA would get with the program and make an EV license plate.

An EV license plate wouldn't be able to track years of eligibility for the carpool lane unless there was a different version released every year and then you would need a new one on year 4 of ownership.

Yeah, but that was a stupid rule change in the first place. If they were getting worried about the HOV lanes getting clogged, perhaps the CHP could actually try doing some enforcement.

Not to mention it really doesn't make a lot of sense in the first place. I definitely take advantage of it, and will for as long as possible, but it's hard to understand why a car without multiple passengers is allowed in the HOV lane. Just because a vehicle is electric doesn't mean there aren't gains from carpooling...in fact it actually incentivizes people to not carpool and therefore add to traffic congestion.

Tesla to raise Full Self-Driving price by $2,000, bringing price to $12k

Tesla will raise the price of the Full Self-Driving suite by $2,000, bringing the price to $12,000 effective on January 17. The price revision was announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who shared details on the decision via Twitter. “Tesla FSD price rising to $12k on January 17,” Musk said. Tesla...

Welp, on that note, I just added FSD to my Plaid X order.

Redundant firmware storage does not make a lot of sense. It is written to solid state as it is, if it was written to a RAID or simply copied to another location it would not save you from a code bug anyway. Solid state in this case rarely fails- I expect this is a code problem if computer related at all.

On reddit I saw some folks had partition or ssd issues - I think a backup of the firmware with redundancy would be beneficial. I have a pc with redundant bios.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR FRIENDS CAR!!???!

Hope it did not raise your price other than the FSD add on!

I did that for my 3 back when they announced the increase from 7 to 10 in 2019 and still haven’t gotten anything measurably better than the EAP I upgraded from.

Nope, I don't think so. I have a 7-seater on order, which was discontinued last night. So if they actually build it it'll be a bit of a unicorn. And now with pre-increase FSD the vehicle should maintain it's value a little bit better. I hope Tesla throws another $0-$15k on the price of the X's in the coming months.

Oh yeah, but that's on the functionality side. I have a car with FSD and a car with just AP so I understand the difference and the difficulty of justifying the cost of FSD. But it also adds resale value so that's why I jumped on it at the $10k now that it's increasing to $12k. I was waiting so I didn't have to pay sales tax on it but now the increase negates that idea.

It was meant to incentivize and accelerate the proliferation of clean air vehicles not clear congestion

Yep, understood. And I doubt the effectiveness of the initiative when compared to a $ incentive.

He literally could have REDUCED it be $2000. And coming from someone who had it (when I paid $3k for it if I recall) and has seen what it does today? I honestly can say I wouldnt pay $6k for it now. Anyone thinking it will do what Elon has promised (Robotaxi service, NYC to LA with zero intervention) anytime soon, is truly fooling themselves..

 

[Valis]

Charging customers 12k to beta test, the best racket in the game right now.

For us Canadians it is vapourware

I really think they should add $2k to every car, include FSD, and be done. I don’t know the economics, but if every car was $2k more, I think that would generate more $, than $10k or $12k for what, 1 out of 5 cars or whatever?
