Screens are generally much more scratch-resistant than screen protectors, so ask yourself how often you expect to scratch/replace the screen protector, then divide that number by umteen. Maybe wise if you have rowdy kids, dogs, or people wearing rings like Vanessa Bryant's. Many protectors are...

Yeah this is pretty remarkable and assuming the data is accurate, it's presented very well. Tesla sold more than every other make on the list combined - but we knew that. What's interesting is that back in early 2023, struggling imports like Hyundai and Ford were dealt a death blow with the tax...

It's not a matter of haters and trolls, it's that your entire premise of "false advertising" and "waste of upgrade money" are rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of how it all works and what the documentation states. Your car can accept *current* and is performing exactly as advertised at...

No need for ground insulation. As for the manual illustrations: The green wire is more clearly depicted in graphics Early chargers used 100A circuits requiring 8 AWG ground which typically needs to be stranded, and thus needs to be insulated for safe pulling

Not just Polestar, there are 2 Vinfast dealerships within 20 miles of my house. Nevermind the "traditional" Chinese brands like Jeep, Dodge, Volvo, Lotus, Fiat, Chrysler, Ram, Maserati, Smart, Alfa Romeo, etc. The tide is turning quickly. Tesla currently holds the title of "world's most...

First, why would you buy a Chargepoint when the Tesla charger is vastly superior in every possible way - including price. Second, every car has a max current and yours is 48A. So if you want the full 11.5kW you're going to need a little more than 238V. And no, that generally isn't possible...

My 2021 is the same way. Mirrors are maxed out against the hard stops and I can still see my rear fender even though I am a very average height and seat position. You can get a little bit more angle by adjusting the tilt to find the sweet spot where it allows maximum outward angle. Clearly the...

You don't have to be "aggressive" to make the signal fail (some YouTuber did crazy karate chops as an example), you just need to be lazy. A brief tap like you might use in a normal car is completely ignored by the stalk 100% of the time - regardless of how far it is pressed. My service center...

Again, it doesn't matter how far you press the stalk, only how long it takes. Every year model 3/Y has this flaw and it absolutely should be grounds for a recall. My service center reproduces this every time I visit, and they write "within spec" as the solution every time. You wouldn't sell a...

Sorry! Just meant a playful jab at the handful of countries which drive on the "other" side of the road. Mostly just jealous because at this point it seems like they'll be the first to get the Ludicrous, considering the fact that all the Ludicri I've seen thus far (1) have been RHD.

I saw a Ludicrous today in LA with the usual front/rear covers and plastic discs zip-tied over the Warp wheels, but what really surprised me was that the steering wheel was installed wrong. So apparently they'll be launching in back-ass countries soon? Great news for Aussies (and any Brits who...

dont

I agree. The clean, simple steering wheel is nicely ergonomic and aesthetic. The fact that it works better than stalkless is an added bonus.

Nah, it's fine. I've kicked tires harder than that.

Occasional "camera blocked" warnings are normal when driving on very dark roads. The other things you mention are not normal. You can see more error logs and even force a clean firmware redeploy in Service Mode which might fix the issue if it is related to firmware corruption. Otherwise, you'll...
