Most people don’t want weird looking cars. For example, the BMW i3 and i8 were awesome but didn’t sell well.

Your right.  The comment should have been to Ralph and not you.  So MANY things spy on us every day that I always find it amusing which ones people suddenly pretend to care about.

Right, because Tesla’s are the only thing that spy on you and not that little device you carry around in your pocket that listens to your every word, tracks your location, takes pictures of your face and surroundings for AR, and uploads it all to the cloud constantly.  Got it.

It depends. Are you the kind of friend that will tell your bud - in a nice way - that they make bad choices, are in a bad situation, and have no business buying said item no matter how bad they want it and stand firm OR will you take their side and say screw the big bad evil banks that are taking advantage of him and…

To add to what you said, $540k doesn’t feel “rich” if you live in NY, CA, etc. and have a family, mortgage, small business, or maybe caring for elderly parents or paying child support, alimony, or student loans. People think “tax the rich” means go after Jeff Bezos and Oprah who won’t miss it but don’t realize it hits…

I wonder if any of the cops jumped up in the cab to see if they could see the mini pinned below?

I have two Teslas. A 2016 Model X with AP1 and a 2020 Model Y with FSD. My understanding is that in every case, the purchase of Enhanced AP and FSD has always included two things: 1) some small feature that is currently ready and 2) the promise you will get more in the future (no promise when).

The reason why #1 is…

You should look into this.  If she had an AP1 car, FSD was never offered.  It was Enhanced Auto Pilot.  I know because I had a 2016 Model X with AP1.  If she had AP2 & paid for FSD, Tesla will upgrade the hardware for free.  If it was a late 2016 car, she probably had AP2.

So, PIN to drive. Tesla introduced a similar feature awhile back after a bunch of thefts as well. It works but is a hassle to input a PIN every time you driver but Kudos to Dodge for giving owners the option.

“Even though the event sometimes violates noise and traffic ordinances, it doesn’t pose major threats to anyone in The Weaver, nor does it break other city rules.”

Here’s the way I see it. Does the residents complaint have merit? Yes. There are some law being broken. Are they over reacting and being sensationalist by…

“And that is the real problem here. Imagine YOUR wife and kids in one of those oncoming cars.”

And while your doing that, image the Tesla is a 15 year old with a learners permit, someone learning a manual who stalls it, or a douche in a Mustang thinking he can make it through a slot in traffic.  Every person on the…

Dude, no one says the software is perfect and finished. They say the exact opposite and explicitly tell you it may do this very thing. Everything worked out exactly as planned here. The dude was alert, took control, was perfectly safe, and gathered valuable data to feedback into the training system. This is EXACTLY…

Do you have any issue being part of the iterative process of a 16 year old learning to drive? They are on the roads as well. How is this any different?

The type of car here is irrelevant. The same exact accidents happen with other cars. Therefore, the criticism isn’t valid.

So, plenty of other people have accidents on suspended licenses, plenty of other people hit stopped cop cars, and plenty of other types of cars hit trucks. None of this is news except if you are once again trying to smear Tesla. Look, AP/FSD/Waymo and whatever future self driving vehicles (even eventual L5) have and…

The already charge EV owners big money when registering to cover for our lack of paying gas tax.  Now, they want more.  Figures.

YES! This is the kind of rational thinking we need. Do you have an auto-blog and I can start to visit instead of Jalopnik? I’m looking for a rational person’s take and its becoming more and more clear that no one at Jalopnik is capable of that.

Does it fill a real need? I would bet the number of people that have truly run out of juice to the point their car has stopped is virtually nil. I mean, honestly, how do they think there is enough demand for this to support a business model when virtually no one needs this service and more chargers are popping up…

Yeah, I love how everyone said just wait till a real car manufacture makes an EV and yet Ford, VW, and others have been delayed, had recalls, and various other problems getting their Tesla killers out the door. Maybe instead of telling Tesla that #makingcarsishard, we should all acknowledge that #makingevsishard.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t we wait for someone to get one, try it out, and then give us some actual feedback.
