How did they manage to unplug it while it was charging?

To say nothing of how the computers would likely get confused, you’d get some seriously gnarly arcing if you could pull the connector out while it’s actually charging. A Supercharger delivers about 375 amps of current at ~400 volts.

When you press the pedal, does it have a ton of travel and then stop firmly, or does it feel squishy at the bottom of its travel?

If the former, then check for worn caliper guide pins or misadjusted shoes (in the case of drum brakes).  If the latter, probably air in the lines, with the remedy being to bleed them.

Dang, how sketchy does your stunt have to be in order for Evel Knievel to be the voice of reason?

The problem it solves is taking the key out of your pocket. With the pushbutton start and touch sensitive door handles, you no longer have to actually handle the key at all. You just walk up to the car, open the door, and then hit the button.

It also makes a little more sense once you get into more complex cars like…

This. The dash cam footage from Teslas always looks super slow unless you’re absolutely mobbing, and this looks modestly fast. The car also brakes pretty hard after it crosses the median and cuts off the truck.

If my local Tesla owner facebook group is any indication, yes.  I sold my Tesla and left the group about a month ago, but basically everyone new posted pictures of their new Model Y at the service center, and I’ve started seeing a lot of them around Austin.

Given the quality of their software, I find it pretty amusing that Elon thinks that Tesla has a “standard of excellence.”

The charge boards in Tesla cars actually don’t have the circuitry required for this. In order for a current Tesla to be able to do it, you would need to swap out the battery pack for one that has this built in at the hardware level. Some of them apparently have a part of the board that could be used for that purpose,…

Speaking as someone who has done field work of his own: Toyota Sienna.

Same. I actually traded in my Tesla a few weeks ago basically because “I don’t want to be a Tesla customer anymore.”

Wouldn’t you walk away with nothing at the end of the lease anyway?

Maybe because it’s like a halo car, where they get you into the showroom with it, and then sell you something more “reasonable” like a gixxer?   Heh.  Reasonable.

They’re actually fairly nice to ride, if you’re a sane person. 

I bought a Camaro about a week ago, and I read you’re supposed to do this in the owner’s manual.  I actually wouldn’t mind if the car had this feature.

The Mark 2 MR2 has a dedicated crotch vent.  It’s one of the best features on a car that has many great features.

I actually own a Tesla, and I was a member of the local Tesla owner Facebook group for about 18 months. I met a handful of the people from it in real life, and they were most definitely real people.

I actually own a Tesla, and I like to tell people that the car’s worst feature is other Tesla owners, followed closely by Tesla (the company) itself.

The version he’s referring to is 2020.48.30 or 2020.48.26, depending on exactly what model you have. FUCK that update.

Don’t let it install. It’s so goddamn fucking horrible. Every time I drive the car now, I notice something else that they inexplicably made worse for no obvious reason.

They made the usable part of the…

Did it coincide with that update they released a couple of weeks ago that changed the UI in the car around?
