Right, a new driver’s seat might cost around that!

Theoretically, but there is no evidence of that. Generally a curb is low enough that it won’t hit the centers. If that was the case, I would’ve expected him to show a wider angle showing where the expensive damage was.

Correct, breakers are dumb and only care about themselves. This has always been the case, theoretically if you’re using your A/C, cooking in the oven and using all burners at once, running a pool pump, multiple TVs going, bathroom fans, etc it could trip the main. Personally with my 150 amp service and dual EV…

Agreed, if buying a non-Tesla, hold off until they adopt either native NACS support or if you really want to go sooner, make sure they support an adapter. Ford and Rivian are examples of companies who have supported NACS adapters to charge at an increasing amount of Tesla Superchargers. I encountered a Ford Mach-E…

And while it’s a relatively simple idea considering how connected modern electric vehicles are, it’s also one of those things that’s so obvious, it’s hard to understand why it isn’t already commonplace across the entire industry.

WTF!! Just got a nearly $3000 bill for damage to my M3 by FSD hitting a curb!!! Never had this problem before recently update. I can clearly see online that I’m not the only one. Went from loving my new Tesla to a very unhappy customer!

I’ve got 150 amp residential service at my house and two Tesla chargers each on a dedicated 60 amp breaker (240v 48 amp output each), but on the software side have it so cumulatively they can not exceed 60 amp output to prevent them from tripping the main if they’re both plugged in after a commute. The charger unit…

Tesla Supercharger charges a $1/minute fee if you haven’t returned to your car within 5 minutes of it completing and the station is more than half full.

Unsure if Tesla’s route calculator takes that into account, but it does take into account how many people are en route to the charger, so you can bail and go to a different one that is less crowded.

Exactly. EVs are basically mainstream now, just your average person is driving around in them.

I can’t speak for all EVs, but Tesla shows the estimated charge time on the screen before you stop.

It would be nice if you could still operate the windows, but at the same time it makes sense to lock out those controls, because what if they need to update the software on the window controller?

Where Going We Don’t Need Keys

If you go to the UK, you do actually get more gas per gallon! 🙃

but this seems like a very dangerous oversight on Tesla’s part that she was able to be stuck inside at all.

I think I would prefer to be still conscious and planning how I would catch my fall when unbuckling, versus being knocked unconscious from landing head-first on the ceiling and then have multiple other people fall on top of me.

Despite the lack of a seat belt requirement

Likely heat dissipation and/or fire blocking so if one cell goes, it doesn’t create thermal runaway to ignite the whole pack.

Availability of public spaces being the main reason. While there is a lot of nothing along the totality line that wasn’t in cities, that nothing is owned by someone, who probably doesn’t want you do be there.

At least as far as I’m aware, Cybertruck’s Autopilot software is delayed and not downloaded into any of the trucks yet. So the cruise control it shipped with literally is just cruise control for the time being, no auto-steer or anything like that. Presumably it’ll arrive quite soon, but I haven’t seen any articles…
