From the most recent recall, there were 11,704 vehicles running FSD Beta 10.3 as of 10/23/2021. That sets a minimum number given they cancelled the rollout of that update on 10/24/2021 (so not every FSD Beta car got that update).

Couldn’t have said it better. There is nothing wrong with the car itself, probably an excellent and fine car. But it has almost nothing to do with the Integra badge. Call it a ILX hatchback and it would be no different. People who were Integra fans were likely hoping a little more of a bone thrown for the nostalgia…

I was half expecting this, and it’s pretty much exactly it. Basically an ILX hatchback with an Integra badge stuck on it (or alternatively a Civic hatchback with an Acura badge).

Sorry, neither case holds up to scrutiny:

More like trying to imply insider trading, when most of the examples, there is no mechanism for him to do that.

Not having to do smog at all, beats having to constantly adjust the smog standards just to accommodate some vehicles. To be clear, I’m not advocating a blanket ICE ban (I’m fine with keeping classic vehicles around with smog test exemptions, as well as continually selling new niche ICE vehicles), but just that at this…

But car companies pledges are only concerned with the new cars they sell. If they continue pushing new hybrids for the next 3 years, all that means is that you have a bunch of vehicles that will be in the fleet another 20 years or so that still use fossil fuels. As for cleaner fuels for current ICE vehicles, that can…

Sounds like a strawman. I doubt very many Tesla fans bought the car based on the infotainment system, especially given the rise of Android Auto and Apple Carplay. For example, if you threw the infotainment system into a Mirage or a Leaf, or even something more of its class, like a A4, 3-series, C-Class, people still…

Yeah, never heard of this. Even more of a fail if this was at an EA charger (given VW is involved in both, I remember one of the cross country stunts was coordinated with EA and Porsche this way). That’s a pretty big engineering blunder and a potential huge safety hazard (the chargers should never damage the car, the…

People still use the wheel because the screen is tiny, you have to reach forward too much to use it, and they have been using the same system and may not be even aware of the touch screen. Sure, the writing on the wheel is better than the scroll wheel, but that’s only because the scroll wheel is so much worse. It’s…

Except for the iDrive and similar dial based systems, you have to look away from the road anyways to use them, as the dial is universal (it’s not like dedicated dials where the function and position for a given setting is always the same). A touchscreen actually lets you get to where you want much faster because you…

Yeah, I used iDrive and the Mercedes equivalent and it’s a pain in the ass compared to just a touch screen. With a touch screen, you can directly click on what you want, with the dial, you can to rotate through different options. Also entering an address for nav is unnecessarily complicated.

Yeah, I watched the video and there was no lurching. Looks like he just let off the brakes a bit (not fully as the brake lights appear to be on) and let the car creep forward naturally a tiny bit.

This is more common than you think. Here’s a case that happened in CA. It’s an even bigger deal as a statewide amber alert is sent out:

Yeah, just saw a 3 series BMW with super loud exhaust this past weekend that you can hear loud and clear even on the highway with all the windows up in the rain (which typically drowns out all other noises). Judging by the body mods, it’s likely on purpose and not another victim of a catalytic converter theft. These…

Way cheaper to install a hidden kill switch though.

“What “adjustments” might those be? Tesla doesn’t say, but the chargers are still activated through the normal Tesla app. It’s unclear if any code on the chargers had to be updated, in order to achieve a handshake with other vehicles, but we’re definitely not talking new pavement or hardware here.”

“Why not take their money?”

The patents are not the problem, it’s access to the network. Even if you use a Tesla connector, that doesn’t mean you get access to the Tesla network. Tesla’s condition previously was you must chip in to expanding the network to gain access, but no automaker took up that offer.

It might work out ok if it at least had 150kW fast charging, but due to the small battery, it only has 50kW. That’s the problem with small batteries, you take a double whammy: not only is range less, charging speed (in absolute sense) is slower. It’s actually a triple whammy, given battery degradation also scales in…
