This would suck BUT, its not unheard of. First, he should have had the right insurance but he didn’t. That is his fault and he acknowledged it so there is normally a “safety net” for things like this. The back window of my wife’s mini convertible got broken and the only fix is to replace the entire top at $5500. I…

Um, it doesn’t (if implemented correctly. I’m sure legacy car manufactures would screw it up though). If you want a Plaid Tesla for example, you get in line and you pay the same price for the same car as everyone else.

Great reply!  There are a couple more bullet points to add to the list:

From what I understand, it operates the same way except it doesn’t make a chime when cruise is engaged with the first click of the stalk. It did chime after the second click of the stalk to engage AP. The big “safety recall” that the media is flipping out about is to push a software version that adds the chime. That’s…

Does anyone ACTUALLY buy a pure base car without a single option?  Some statistics about that would have been useful in the article.  I doubt very many people do which is why manufacturers don’t put much focus on them except to have them “technically” available so they can advertise lower prices.

So, the people that actually have the car are kind of neutral but I should listen to how you feel about it because why??

I think (and really really hope) the number of people that consider the name of a car trim as a deal breaker is really small.

I think the issue here is charging network. Norway is small and has infrastructure that makes EVs with typically less range than Tesla more viable. The US doesn’t. Tesla’s Supercharger network is a massive differentiator and can easily sway a buyer even if the cars are comparable.

Just watched the video. Guy is having a bad day for sure. How do we know this has anything to do with Amazon or his job?

Great. Does this mean your satisfied they have done enough to prevent abuse and when someone finds away to work around it (and someone will) or purposely blocks the update so they can still be tools, we can blame them and not Tesla?

From what I have heard on various videos from Tesla’s autonomy day and from Andrej Karpathy, the problem with multiple types of sensors is that frequently, they don’t always agree. What do you do if the camera says the road is clear but radar says there is something there? If you ignore the radar, you may hit a parked…

First, I’m a Tesla fan (owner & investor) but this guy is a tool and people like him give us all a bad name and put autonomous driving at risk by their stupid actions. Cut it out!! Your doing harm to the company you claim to love. For the kid riding in the back seat (and anyone else caught purposely circumventing the…

I kind of agree with you and love the silence of my Model Y (one of the few without the PWS and Boombox) but I’m actually thinking about retrofitting it because people simply just don’t hear you in parking lots and I feel like a dick creeping up behind someone and honking the horn. If I had the option to retrofit but…

Your right, $7500 won’t cover every install but it sure as heck will easily cover most. I’ve spent a lot of time on forums over the last 5 years since I’ve had an EV and I’ve seen many people post to ask if an estimate to install a charger is reasonable. Most have been in the $1k to $5k range.

I would rather the…

It’s not hard (I’ve installed them on all homes I’ve lived in) but the process might be a issue for some people. If we want to promote adoption, we need to target incentives to potential barriers of adoption and having a place to charge is usually near the top of the list.

The dealer could have a list of installers and…

I’d like to see the subsidy changed from a discount on the car to being paid to electricians for completely installing L2 chargers at buyers homes. It would be great if buyers didn’t have to sort that part out and just knew that a licensed electrician would take care of the install for them (up to $7500 which should…

The Tesla community has been tracking this for a while. Results are good - about 4% drop early-ish in life and then tailing off to around 7%.

Anyone stupid enough to confuse auto is stupid enough to confuse co.
