Maybe they can fix it with an OTA update?

Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there about the Sport Quattro vs. Ur Quattro. Glorious perfection:

**Disclaimer** - Tesla owner here.

Using the manual door release doesn’t necessarily damage anything either. The window rolls down a bit to clear the weather stripping when you use the electric door release. Tesla advises not to use the manual release regularly because it doesn’t lower the window and it can wear or damage that weather stripping.…

She gives you all the context you need right in the video:

I don’t have an update waiting to get the wording exact, but it does tell you to do the update when you don’t need to drive for 20 or 30 minutes. She knew enough not to open the doors or windows during the update. I can’t imagine she got through all the steps to update and was then surprised after. As far as bricking…

My Android phone has to restart for an update. So does my Windows computer. I don’t think downloading, turning off, and restarting is asking too much for a software update. My car spends plenty of time parked, I don’t need to do updates on the fly, so it’s hardly an inconvenience. Kudos to Hyundai for going above and…

You have to try to do this. The app notifies you that you have an update. You have to click start the update now or whatever the go button says. Then it gives you a two minute countdown to change your mind and cancel (or exit the vehicle). Then it starts to update. Incidentally, I’ve never had an update take 40…

Wow that interior looks Tesla-esque. 

I gotta say, as someone who owns and drives a Tesla, my experience with the pickup process has been pretty great. I check every vehicle I buy and I’ve had issues with plenty of them. The last custom ordered, brand new Ford pickup I bought had a fingertip sized dent with some cracked paint in the cab right in front of…

I still want this. Had to make my own in tenth scale

I thought the rocket tech was supposed to aid in acceleration because the car can’t put that power down through the tires alone? I’ll tell you what, I can’t wait to fricassee me some toddlers with the exhaust plume off my Roadster. Time to see what Amazon has for G-suits... 

Conversely, a bone stock JK Wrangler:

Now we know! Phew!

Eh. I prefer the Miata on track. But the Tesla isn’t numb. They are two different experiences. I enjoy both.

But I can drive a manual. I track my Miata all summer. I have every appreciation for driving skill and car character. I still think it’s a hoot to get my insides squeezed by g-forces. I like it on a 1kcc sportbike and I like it just as much, albeit differently, in the Tesla. Sure the car is managing wheelspin and…

I love how acceleration has become a ‘trick’. I’ve spent decades and untold dollars in the pursuit of going faster, as I’m sure many enthusiasts have, and acceleration was kinda the goal. Now these cars show up that will blow the doors off 95% of anything they might come across at a stoplight and suddenly that…

The Miata ND “infotainment” is a dumpster fire. Apparently this is remedied or improved for ‘24+ but the ND1 and ND2 are just ick. It’s slow, unintuitive, ugly, and just not worth the effort. Most days I just leave the screen off and either let Spotify play what it wants or I listen to the wind.

Do you align yourself with all the ideologies of the CEO of the manufacturer of your daily driver? Musk is trash, but Tesla has done a tremendous amount to bring EVs to the masses despite him. Elon is doing a fine job of destroying himself, which is great, but Tesla should survive it. I’m looking forward to that day.…
