Definitely better than the stock ATs. Definitely more rolling resistance. My experience, in the same temperature and driving conditions, is about 12-13%... which is higher than I wanted to see...but if they keep me on the road, I guess that's a reasonable cost.

What I've noticed is that it seems to want to follow the route you had in Nav, even if you 'end trip'. If no trip was entered for the drive, it seems to randomly choose left or right at Tee intersections if you don't specify. I haven't seen any logic behind the choices. And if you try to have...

You mean like the $49,900 dual motor CT? :cool:

I looked at some photos of the structure under the stainless skin. And I'm thinking about the rear hitch failure that that YouTube idiot made a fortune on. That failure was from a very significant impact, not from too much of a pull (tension), so anything that applies a torque or shear force...

My understanding has always been that a plow of any reasonable size needs to be mounted to the frame, preferably with some sort of plate or multi-point attachment system that will distribute the impact load. Plowing is pretty brutal on pickup trucks and anyone serious about doing it will say...

Half an hour with a welder and the scrap metal in the garage...

I'm not sure whether having two is really necessary. How often would you be required to pull from the other side, recognizing a bumper mount winch is fixed in one position? Maybe to add a snatch block and pull from both sides, but other than that... The $300 price is silly. Especially given...

So many gadgets and toys. I'd spend most of my time digging through totes trying to find the widget that snogerizes the thingmabobbie. And all that to sit in a gravel parking area that looks like it's just below a railway track. A well put together video, but not my idea of camping.

It's more nuanced than that, but I guess in a way that's a reasonable takeaway. The half m V squared thing is the equation for kinetic energy. Double the V (velocity) and you have 4 times as much energy stored in the mass (truck). In order to stop, you need to shed that energy, via the brakes...

I, for one, have not heard much of anything about this story since the initial claims of the owner. If it was anything mechanical that could be blamed on Tesla, the haters and media would have blown this into a raging inferno. So I'm still leaning towards operator error. From what I could see...

Mine pulled over and stopped for a firetruck, approaching from behind...in heavy traffic, the dark and torrential rain. It also saw a large cube van back out of a driveway on the other side of a signalized intersection. My truck stopped before entering the the intersection, even though the cars...

Do you think this is a problem with every truck produced? I've noticed that my interior door panel vibrates very significantly at speeds over 100 kmh, but I haven't really noticed noise (unless what I took to be road noise is this). Mirror seems relatively stable too. Wondering if I should be...

Yes, definitely an issue I've seen. I'm also not thrilled with it signalling for a lane change when next to another car. If the little blindspot light is on, that should be a sign that lane changing isn't possible, so why signal your intent to sideswipe the car next to you?

I agree with the lane change concern. Typically too early and looks like you're going to sideswipe someone because they're in your usual Blindspot. Similar with signaling for corners. Again too early and often looks like you're planning to turn into a driveway before reaching the intersection...

Not really a Saved my Ass event, but pretty incredible all the same. Visiting Victoria to look after some family stuff and this happened during the huge rainfall event that cut off my route home (but that's another story... 🤦‍♂️).

Well that's just bizarre! I'm going to reboot it now while I'm thinking about it. 🤦‍♂️

Ok, thanks. I'll poke around. I've always had "lower" set as a preference and it still is. And I cleared the location settings memory just in case. Maybe a reboot is in order too...

I will check that. I didn't realize that they'd added a seperate mode for FSD. When FSD switches off, should my regular mode become active? I'm seeing medium height when I'm sitting in my driveway or a destination after FSD is cancelled... 🤔

I've noticed since the update that the truck wants to drive around in medium height rather than low as it used to before. I've checked the settings and my preference is for low. However, it has been very snowy and foggy around here recently, so I don't know if FSD has decided medium makes more...

I haven't been able to determine if it's Sentry, but my sense of things is that consumption HAS increased since the update. I'm also seeing it want to drive in medium height for some reason...
