Recently I was reading about how the National Park Service is starting to levy fines on people that drive vehicles that don't meet their specific definition of 4WD on trails that are designated 4WD only. On the NPS site I see such a rule on this page: Four-Wheel Drive Determination
The key...
Has anyone been using any PPF installers in the Puget Sound area? Anyone have any recommended companies? Would like to get a quality install without having to pay top $$. Also thinking about window tinting and UV protection.
So beyond just the companies to use, what specific products should I...
A while back, I remember a feature added to Tesla vehicles where you could use your phone app to listen and talk to people outside your vehicle. This was useful when your car was parked somewhere away from you and a sentry mode alert went off.
Does this feature exist on the CT? I haven’t seen...
I've recently been noticing many, many people that don't seem to know how to use a fast food drive through correctly or with any sort of sense. It got me thinking though.
How does FSD currently handle traversing a drive through process? And once we start having robotaxis with no steering...
Was just reading this thread.
I've now seen a few different makers with accessories "made for the CT". All of the external attaching accessories though seem to just be the same kinds of accessories as other trucks get with CT specific attach mechanisms and power connections.
The one issue I...
Would love to hear people's thoughts or reactions they will have when seeing fingerprints on their CT SS body.
Take the poll if you like. Add some recommendations for cleaning or protecting against fingerprints. Let us know how you would like to handle the fingerprints that will inevitably show...

Tesla Time News today had a Community Mail Time segment that included the following picture. It was a contribution from someone in the community in Florida. The commentary was about the 4 EVs parked outside an AT&T store. But what caught my eye was the Tesla Nail Salon.
Um... What other hustle...
So Zach and Jesse have a Disruptive Investing video about the steer-by-wire patent that Tesla has.
Some of the points they make have to do with FSD and ways that FSD could interact with steer-by-wire. Which got me thinking about some other scenarios that an FSD vehicle with all drive-by-wire...
So this week on Wham Baam Teslacam they have their first submission of video from Tesla’s hardware 4. Clear sunny day and the video is noticeably clearer. It will be interesting to see more examples going forward but so far I much prefer hardware 4. Not sure it helps read license plates better...
So it looks like the DeLorean Alpha is now available to reserve.
They have the following 3 step reservation process:
So basically, it costs $88 + $2,500 to get a randomized position until all the positions are gone. Then if you want a position, it costs $88 + what the market will bear to...
EV Maintenance and Ownership Isn't Everything It's Cracked Up to Be
Customer service satisfaction among EV owners is considerably lower than for owners of ICE cars due to recalls and a lack of expertise, data suggests.

Here we have discussed so many of the possible ways the CT could be used and all the various contraptions one might want to use. There is always someone trying to discount those ideas saying no one needs to do that.
But here is a company (Peak Evolution) that is making a vehicle that is capable...
So I was playing with ChatGPT wondering about the future of humanity. Given all the amazing developments coming with the CT, who knows what else will be coming. Let's ask AI and see!!
My request:
Here are the various answers that came back:

Well, not robots. And we are not extinct...

So this is interesting.
Munro Live did an interview showing the REEcorner. Basically a modular drive unit that is used for a single corner of the vehicle.
Couple things here... It allows for 4 wheel steering. Everything is drive/steer by wire. I don't know how reliable this companies products...
Some amazing information here. And lots of Tesla related references. And even more thoughts that are directly relevant to the disruptions Tesla is bringing about.
