My wife's BMW has it, my new M3P doesn't. I was very much in the camp that Tesla should implement it, and then I got used to the Tesla image. Now, I tend to prefer the FSD image over the stitched view. It is proportional, a more intuitive way of looking at your surroundings, and when you add...

And the green one could be "Shrek Skin"!

I didn't realize that you were the final arbiter of what is aesthetically acceptable and what isn't. According to your posts, if you don't like it, it is a "monstrosity" and you are "ruining your truck". How about allowing some variety in taste? Some of the rims out there I like, and some I...

Dang! those are clean looking wheels and the aero cover really look good. To me, they look better than the "B spec" factory covers.

I’ve never wanted a green car of any kind. So this one ain’t for me. But, I can see how someone would like it, and the CT looks cool in color.

In reading this thread, and your posts, I get that you are not an EM fan. Ok, cool, no problem.

Exactly how has Elon "over estimated Tesla's AI technology for years" when FSD 12.X is the first iteration of the full end-to-end usage of specialized AI?

The targets that were established in 2018 were unrealistic, and the compensation was just as wild. But he met them, and exceeded them for longer than he needed. Some yo-yo with a single share (might have been a single digit number of shares) brings a suit like this? There is so much about this...

I don’t know that I agree. I don’t think Tesla has reached a level of critical mass that can succeed without him, especially in the international world. He is very involved with Tesla, and the accusation regarding Twitter appears to be somewhat overstated. As for the attention, I think the media...

As I recall, they were looking at three options. An 811, and a 955 mix. Additionally, an asymmetric roll. Did they say for certain which way they were going? Did they say they were ready for production? I was thinking when they talked about 4680 lines spooling up in “just a few months” that was...

Maybe, maybe not? Either way, the doped cloth was flammable, and the aluminum in the dope wasn’t grounded and subject to static buildup.

Are we sure about this? Here is why I ask... My wife has a PHEV with a 16amp max charging rate. Fortunately, the battery only has a 32 mile range, so it charges completely in 3 -4 hours. So when I added the 220v circuit, I added a 20A breaker. The L2 charger I bought will go up to 40A, but is...

The Hindenburg explosion wasn't about the hydrogen, it was about the metallic dope they put on the fabric. No, once it started the hydrogen didn't help, but it wasn't the cause. Just as a ICE car contains flammable materials, but they don't spontaneously combust. There are more than enough...

Elon has said there is no future in Hydrogen. It does have some benefits. It can be produced at the service station, shipping is not required. It is a very rapid refill, just like your ICE car. The tanks in your car where it is stored can be every bit as safe as your gas tank, even more...

But that assumes that the 4680 is the restriction to a faster build rate. At this point in ramp up of both products, I don't think that is the case.

Please help me understand. I put in the address of the SC at Santa Ysabel to the Ocotillo Wells RV park, AND back. If you leave the SC at 90%, without a trailer in a CT AWD, it will take you about 30% charge to do the round trip. If you assume a 50% loss with towing, then you would use 60% of...

This is always an option. These are run-flats, increase ground clearance, and improve highway gearing. AND there is very little rolling resistance!

In all seriousness, 67 to 78, just before Julian, top off at the SC and go to ocotillo wells, on the way back, stop just after Julian if you need, or hit one of the 2 in El Cajon, (I’ve used the one in the Costco Parking lot there) or go all the way home if you can. Looks like that works with...

Before the CT was released, the catch phrase was “real truck doing real truck things”. Now, it is “real world range”. There is no such thing. I posted this elsewhere, but in my ICE car, F to E (<30 miles of gas left) can go from barely 300 miles, to over 425. That is the “real world variance” in...

Dude, That yellow area is one that NO ONE takes on a long drive. You go out 78 when there is somewhere ON 78 you want to stop. You and I and everyone else would take 8 to go through Yuma, or 10 to go through Blythe. I go out to Yuma and Tucson multiple times every year (I take the 5 to the 8)...
