I’d give you more stars if I could.  

It switches to a black background and auto sims at night and isn’t annoying to me  I used to turn off or down as much as possible on previous cars but for whatever reason I haven’t had any issues with the light of the display  even on overnight drives to LA

The stuff they’re doing with the pricing really, really bothers me. It’s just shady.

I personally do not want an air suspension but “I get it”, and it wouldn’t stop me from upgrading if they add it. My last car had a HUD and honestly I don’t miss it at all, but I’m sure they’ve come a long way. The caveat to that…

yeah that’s a reasonable approach. I’d have done that but labor rates in the bay area + gouging mean that a full wrap by someone trustworthy is like $4-6k, and I can’t bring myself to pay it. Next time around I might take delivery in another state and get that done before driving back, if I can (I *believe* you can…

I’ve made a point not to sit in anyone else’s car and see if I like the updated seats better. No good will come of that.   I don’t find the current ones *uncomfortable* but I definitely feel there’s room for improvement. 

If I’m on the freeway/highway/whatever, there’s about a 99.99% chance I have AP on. Of the 9,000 miles or so I’ve put on the car, I’d say probably 7,500 have been with AP activated. 

It’s hard to explain how much it improves life until you’ve used it. Even with my hand on the wheel, and paying attention, I’m dramatically less fatigued and stressed during and after my hellish commute. My last car had adaptive cruise which was a good start (but being a 2005, it was an early system and not very…

My pleasure. It has, so far, been a largely fantastic experience. There’s plenty I’d change about the car to make it “perfect” but then it’d be less appealing to plenty of other people, I’m sure.  

I didn’t really tell them I was comparing.  I learned never to point out flaws in someone else’s new purchase.  

I’ve had my non-Performance Model 3 since January (and truly, honestly believe that there is no better daily driver for my purposes than a Model 3 with Autopilot), and while I intellectually know that upgrading already would be the equivalent of pouring gasoline on a basket full of $100 bills and throwing in a match,…

“When it comes to things people want in their cars, a fire is pretty far down the list”

Well I mean, unless you’re buying an electric car, you’re gonna get fires in your car right?

…and if you buy a Tesla, you still might. 

I’m just happy that Torchinsky is reporting about burning cars. 

My bounds for creativity within the world invective have never been approached, let alone reached.   

Speed doesn’t kill. Speed has never, in the history of mankind, ever killed a single person. 

“give them a place to put their cigarette butts that aren’t a) flicked out of their window onto my car”

The disgusting cunts that do this are gonna do it no matter what. Litterbugs are awful. 

It is my sincere hope that the most common injury from this is complete destruction, beyond saving, of the reproductive organs. 

Yes, the early cars had a ton of issues. Well, the later cars do too, but just generally not with the driveline. 

So far? Zero.  But I’m only about 6 months in. 

Given the VW family’s history with electrical subsystems… yikes.

In all seriousness, Tesla’s *drivelines* tend to be quite reliable. Anything else in the car is open to fairly serious debate, and I say this as a Tesla fan and owner. 

For fuck’s sake what is happening with reporting. Why do I have to google “duck boat” to find out what the hell one is, instead of an article having a simple one-liner to explain?
