As one of those people with a 2020 reservation, who sold their car in anticipation of an early 2021 delivery, and now has a ‘blank’ delivery time, this was a gut punch.
Just wait till y'all see the latest gabeincal video. Those cars that have been sitting there are caked with dirt. Some have had their windshield wipers run and you can see how dirty they are. They better be nice to those cars when they wash them.
Not shocking it got pushed back to the 10th. Speculation on my part, but perhaps it has to do with the yoke, no stalks, etc. we don’t even know if some of that stuff is legal or not....someone correct me if you know otherwise. Just because the yoke is in a car they are testing, can they still mass produce it and sell it to customers? And the car selecting the gears for you....I know the other day I was in a parking spot and I had to reach back to help my daughter with something in the back seat. The car was in park, but I accidentally hit the gas pedal and the motor rev’d up. What would of happened if that was the Tesla is what I am wondering....
I'm probably in the best position here. I sold my car in December, with a plan of buying a Model S in March. Then they raised the price on me by $12k. I then planned to settle for a M3P, but after test driving a M3, I realized that was not going to do. So I made a plan to just save some additional money and buy a MS in September.
Same, but I had two V1s. Funny how Escort was saying the arrows were no big deal while on patent, and as soon as Mike's patent expires, Escort adds the feature! The combo of arrows and GPS falsie memory is the bomb, though, Too bad Mike didn't do that.Have the same radar/laser detector. Had a V1 for years but the Escort Max 360 is the bomb. Works well.
I’m there. It’s becoming really obvious there’s some REAL *sugar* going on behind the scenes. No way in hell I’m taking delivery the first delivery date that’s offered to me.
Yeah but the point is we have spent our entire lives knowing neutral is safe. If there is no neutral, there are definitely going to be quite a few people accelerating by accident while trying to reach something in the back seat etc. This will be really bad for people with multiple vehicles.
I agree, that’s my point. Even though you can say it could perhaps be “driver error.” The fact there might not be a known safe zone like in neutral or park could cause some problems down the road....which wasn’t by driver choice but rather how the car was designed. I like the concept and excited to try it, but I think these very “futuristic/jump the gun/over engineered” type features could have some drawbacks. And my speculation is perhaps this is part of the delay. Never heard final answers from NHTSA.
