Not surprising, but terrible news. I am very disappointed. We’ll see how the courts deal with this. It’s clear that Tesla is a privately owned company masquerading as a publicly traded entity...

If Musk and the board had just been legit and not lied and deceived shareholders last time, then he’d have his pay package - if that was actually the will of the shareholders. Musk and the board must not have been confident that the vote would go through since they decided to take the illegal...

Not likely any time soon. They said on last investor call that they plan to make “lower cost” models using the existing manufacturing lines. Who knows what that means or how they’re even going to come up with new vehicles after laying off the new vehicle division. Maybe there will be some...

The Cybertruck is late, overpriced, missing features and has more failures than any other Tesla before it. The refreshed Model 3 is decent, but doesn’t diverge much from the previous design in any way that is out of the norm compared to any other manufacturer model refresh. The Model Y refresh...

I do not plan to purchase another Tesla at this point. When it comes to the vehicles, many of the changes are unwelcome for my preference. Most of these changes that I don’t like come from the direction of the CEO. People can debate me on what Tesla still does better and try to convince me how...

I don’t know wtf you two are debating, but this first sentence is not only spelled wrong but is factually incorrect. Tesla is not Musk’s company. It is a publicly traded company owned by the shareholders. Musk is a board member and the CEO for that publicly-owned company.

Yet another report of Musk’s conflict of interest between Tesla and his other companies. Again putting Tesla on the burner in favor of his self-interests. Potentially to encourage support of his 25% share goals and reinstatement of his exorbitant pay package...

I don’t see how Tesla can even get away with going to the camera-only detection with or without infrared. NHTSA still isn’t satisfied with the current nagging. If infrared solves the problem Tesla would either need to install new interior cameras in models without support (for free) or find a...

My guess is that individual owners will need to pay for some type of taxi-like insurance on their vehicles to cover these costs. Ideally the cameras around the vehicle will have continuous capture so they don’t miss anything that is in their view. Of course, violators could just cover the...

Musk said on the most recent earnings call that Tesla would have their own fleet and that owners could choose to supplement that fleet with their personal vehicles.

This is one of the most baffling decisions that was made for our Tesla vehicles. The automatic wiping is almost universally disliked and one of the most common complaints. As someone above mentioned, the cameras are just not capable no matter how much training goes into the AI model. It will...

FTFY 😂 I don’t know if I’d want to return to a company that just laid me off in this manner and who could use me until they get what they want out of me then throw me back out on the street any instant because I still wasn’t “hardcore” enough, the company needed to make more cuts, the CEO had...

In this instance, I was staying at an Airbnb. I wasn’t about to leave my car somewhere else for overnight charging and have to Uber back and forth.

This is the worst-case outcome. Tesla and has clearly failed Whyone by ruining the EV ownership experience in some way that was not explained. Other manufacturers clearly haven’t done enough to convince them to try a different brand EV. It’s sad to see someone say they’re going to put another...

I just can’t; with all these layoffs. Layoffs are a normal thing, but the way Tesla is going about it is not normal and not okay. This isn’t hardcore. It’s heartless and non-strategic. And in typical fashion - Musk isn’t giving any detail on what the plans are for each of the devastated...

This is what I said in my review… I don’t know why you’re making such a big deal about this. It’s a valid criticism. People don’t review products based on assumptions of what might change in a future iteration. People review them based on what the products are at the time of the review...

I’m not trying to provide the solution to get to better charging curves. I’m not even saying other manufacturers have solved the issue. I’m not asking for my current car to behave differently. I don’t expect my next car to have 5 minute charging. No; I don’t think it’s odd to criticize the...

It’s not like the charge times are terrible, but people shouldn’t just accept this as the best curve Tesla could provide. BEVs have varying curves. I am just looking to the future when someone could spend 5 minutes filling their battery at a DCFC and then be on their way. 350kW+ speeds aren’t...

To entertain your concerns, you should consider that not everyone is being reactionary to recent controversies. My opinion isn’t based on a short-term, short-sighted view. I have considered many years of the decisions going at Tesla to come to my conclusion. Now that I’ve entertained your...

I’m not interested in your sarcasm, but I am curious to gain insight as to what about my previous post you disagree with. Would you mind providing me your perspective as it relates to my post?

Charging Curve The bigger problem is that no matter what power level you start charging at, the curve dips way too fast at ~30%. I’d like to see greater improvements to the curve on newer Tesla vehicles. It should hold higher power for longer in order to reduce charge times. Phone as Key...

The fact that nobody outside (and for all we know inside) of Tesla knows what is actually going on here is one of the primary reasons why I believe Musk should be voted out and someone new brought on to take over the direction of the company. I do not like Musk based on his public persona and...

I chose the Tesla over other choices solely due to the SuperCharger network. As others have mentioned, this news comes without any context and close enough to the investor call that the most logical assumptions are that this was a sporadic, unplanned decision. If Tesla had a proper marketing...

For reference, my car is a 2019 Model 3 Performance. Manufactured in Sept 2019. Midnight Metallic Silver with White interior. FSD software stack. Running on 235/35 20” Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires.

If The Information report is accurate, Musk just fired the new vehicle team. Who the hell will administer any new vehicle development with the team responsible being thrown out. This is on top of the >10% layoffs from just last week. Wtf 🤦🏼‍♂️

I’m not following how you came to the conclusion that I expect the world to revolve around me. Criticizing other manufacturers is fine, but your comments come off as if I’ve never owned another brand of vehicle before my Tesla. I have owned a nice handful of vehicles from Various manufacturers...

I rented a 2022 Model Y late last year and drove it ~1700 miles. I enjoyed it and it was essentially a bigger Model 3, but that also means its got similar issues to what I mentioned in the conclusion for my car review. The 3fresh Model 3 didn’t solve any of the build and material quality issues...

Seems people are being a bit bullish and trying to read between the lines on the comments made by Tesla. I’m more skeptical of what is actually happening. It’s not clear that the Model 2 is indeed coming in the near future. They chose their words carefully on the investor call to avoid...

If the prev performance averages 11.5s 1/4 mile run, then my WAG for the new model would be between 10.5-11s depending on the >60mph throughput. I would hope they have been able to get it <= 11, at least. Seems we can assume that 11.3s would be the worst case based solely on the 0.2s difference...

I’m not going to trade up, but if there’s an option to install the new front seats in my “old” M3P, then I’d consider that option - once I get to demo the new seats and see how they feel in comparison. I’d like to hear from people who spend time at the track. Is the new M3P any better outside...

You’ll get better at figuring out the most efficient way to charge your car over time. Once your car hits 80%, the curve dips and it’s a very slow process getting to 90% and even slower from 90-100%. Watch the kW value while you charge. You will see how it behaves and get used to it. Make...

“Sometimes” being the keyword. I used my portable charger, but only had access to a standard 120v outlet. An overnight charge wasn’t even close to giving me enough energy to get around.

I’m a little overdue for this review and it may not be fully comprehensive of all my thoughts, but here it is… My 1st year review of purchasing and owning a Used Tesla Model 3 Performance. Order Date: Feb 8, 2023 Delivery Date: Feb 27, 2023 Odometer at time of Purchase: 30562 Miles Driven Since...

Tesla has lowered the monthly subscription price from $199/month to $99/month. Still higher than most would prefer, but half the cost should move the needle a bit. “Only” $1200/year now. https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/12/24128806/tesla-fsd-subscription-price-cut

The price is 💯 why the majority of people don’t even bother. There’s enough skepticism to make a $200/month or $12k-to-“own” purchase unjustified. A demo drive and a free month isn’t going to change that perspective. $200/month for 5 years = $12k. The least Tesla could do is say it’s a...

If true, the cancellation of the low-cost, mass-market vehicle is a huge disappointment. Especially to also continue with the launch of a new Roadster - a vehicle 1% of people can and will buy; a toy for the wealthy; the complete opposite of a “$25k” car. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Why tf even announce the...

It’s not a trial. I “own” FSD. The point of my complaint is that I shouldn’t have to go into the menu and switch profiles. I should be able to configure the stalk so that I can easily set it up to behave the way I want and how it works when I use the AutoSteer profile. Locking me into a preset...

When a previous update gave us the Single Pull vs Double Pull options, I left the settings alone so I could use Single Pull for cruise control and double pull to add lane keep. FSD v12.3.3 was installed and my car was automatically set to use it. I get that they want to encourage people to use...

It is a hardware and intelligence problem. Human drivers don’t face the same challenges presented to the cameras on existing Tesla vehicles. There is no hardware to clear the vision of the cameras. There is a wiper to clear the field of view for the human. A human with good eyesight or a proper...

When it snows, the cameras are covered. I constantly get warnings about my cameras. FSD would never work in the snow for a Vision-only system. Even if the cameras had heaters, it would be difficult to clear them enough for proper visibility. I have similar issues in the rain and fog. So long...

I tried FSD for the first time since getting my Model 3 in Feb 2023. 12.3.3 “Supervised” version. I lasted ~1.5 miles before giving up. immediately almost hit another car around an S curve where I started attempted to go 35mph over multiple, large speed bumps Cut into the wrong lane during...

Ffs. That thing is $3000 and this is the quality people can expect? You got to be off in the brain to justify this over any other camping setup. At this point you’re only buying this thing to brag that you spent the money on it.

Nice job! Added to my “save for later” on Amazon and considering a purchase. This product kind of exemplifies one of the downsides of the minimalist approach for Tesla. Sure, you could say it’s a modular approach that allows for uniqueness and customization for the customer by enabling...

After 4 years of time wasted building a still-unfinished Cybertruck, I am concerned about resources focusing on the roadster. Mostly because Tesla needs the low-cost vehicle more than a new toy for the rich. Also; a rocket needs fuel, as in some sort of petrol. How does one justify Tesla making...

I hopped in the RWD. It was at 100% charge and said 272 miles. The Long Range I demoed was at 73% and had 271 miles. There was <100 miles on the odometer.

I was at the local service center today and they had Highland demo cars. 2 long range and a RWD. Was able to do a demo drive the long range while I waited for service (potholes destroyed a wheel and a tire). I drive a 2019 Model 3 Performance. The standout was definitely the quieter ride. It’s...

The point of the judgement has less to do with the amount he was to receive and instead the deception used to secure the vote. Maybe the vote would’ve ended up the same either way, but the point is you have to follow the rules and be honest about the process and the package being voted upon...

“The public vote…” 😂 Like walking into a bar and asking everyone to vote “to drink” or “not to drink.” You know what the majority response will be. That’s an extremely biased sample for the vote. The board is built of devotees who feel they owe Musk something. I can see an investor vote...

Unsure what to think of your offhand, anecdotal evidence. Over 19k R1Ts were sold in the US in 2023. Kyle Connor may not be the say-all-be-all for EVs, but he is an R1T owner saying good things about the truck and still prefers it as his electric truck of choice. He doesn’t ignore the...

So Tesla is making a Chevy Bolt like vehicle. Okay \_(ツ)_/¯ I really hope they can keep the cost down on this this. Hitting that $25k mark is super important for this vehicle. If it comes in closer to current Model 3 pricing then I will consider this another disappointment. Idgaf about...
