Backing in. At least for all the Superchargers I’ve ever seen. The charger stand is in the back of the parking spot and the charge port on all Teslas is at the rear of the vehicle.

Yeah funny typo, but definitely “lane change” because it has a real problem with that. I currently have the trial month on a new Model 3 since I’ve no intention of buying the feature. I’ve only tried it once. It was seriously unimpressive and I can’t imagine why anyone pays actual money for it.

It seems weird to have to say this on what is (or perhaps only was) a car-enthusiast blog but... it’s just a good car. I owned one for almost six years and it was reliable and fun to drive. And no matter how hard I’ve looked around in it, I can’t seem to find “Elon Musk’s Shitty Politics” anywhere inside, so I’ve yet…

It seems to vary wildly by location, almost like it’s up to the local management. I paid a lot less for my Model 3 just last month and got a very professional delivery experience. Cars in the delivery bay (there were about eight of them, including even one Cybertruck) were all showroom clean and waiting for their…

This is exactly why allowing this kind of incremental self-driving should be illegal. There are too many people that are far too dumb to to be trusted with this.

Hilariously, it’s now called “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)“ so somebody made them add that, but it’s almost like seeing “Full Self-Driving (But not really)“ in the parenthetical.

That is a combination of bad GIF compression and Gary Oldman going waaaay over the top in that scene. That’s not a bad AI lip-sync. Dude actually did that with his face himself.

Every SUV at least.  Back from whence you came, you abominations!

Not too soon, I hope. Nobody right now is doing a better job of winning voters.... for Kamala Harris.

Per wikipedia the ‘89 Ford Probe she was in didn’t have cup holders but they’d already been introduced on cars by then and were gaining popularity. But I doubt this case had any effect on them becoming ubiquitous. Chalk that up instead to our fast-food drive-through culture.

There is almost no chance that person isn’t a right-wing concern troll. They are peddling exactly the same talking points you’ll hear on any Fox News evening broadcast.

Fair points. Though there are electric cars that aren’t built by Musk.

I think it’s more how one can act when one is already this stupidly rich.  He doesn’t have to care as long as the board and his investors don’t MAKE him care.  He’s going to be rich whether people buy his cars or not.  Maybe not as rich as he is today, but rich enough not to give a shit.

But only 60% of our (the US) electricity generation comes from non-renewable fossil fuels.

I am wagging my finger at Elon Musk because he has presented his solution as an ethical option and his idiot fanboys repeat such claims until they’re backed into a corner (exhibit A, thank you).

But it’s been a common problem, so wondering if it might the cause in this accident isn’t a far reach.

See, you were fine until you went with “fuel source” diatribe, which of course, applies directly to Teslas, because you idiots don’t know how electricity works.

Teslas are definitely not known to have bugs after updates where people can’t open their doors, even with the manual latch

Why was that? Were the doors wedged shut (as can happen to any car) or were they unable to open the doors because Tesla won’t install actual door handles?

I think there have been cases where the vehicle was found at fault but they’ve also usually been mechanical issues, like with the pedal getting stuck down by something.
