RE: 1st gear; Tesla

“But I’d say overall having a screen instead of a bunch of physical buttons has been pretty much a non-issue for me after getting used to it.”

The X has a screen in front of the driver, but I’m not that familiar with it. For my Y the single “one screen to rule them all” hasn’t really been an issue. Some concerns about the “single point of failure” but since they updated the software so I can customize the steering wheel buttons, I never really use the screen…

No way a “Tesla fan account” can be considered as an official Tesla position: Jalopnik incorrectly use it to clash Tesla.

Where does it say it will be available this year?

At least this subject has to do with transportation and vehicles.  If you want to air this particular grievance, check out the main article about two billionaires trying to arrange a cage match.

They told the Coast Guard right away, which made it possible for folks to find the wreckage and confirm. Announcing “we have received information from a secret source indicating that we are probably looking for a gravesite” is not exactly good crisis comms, especially when there’s a slight chance they were wrong about…

“I make trucks for real people who do real work, and that’s a different kind of truck”. Riiiight. Real work, like driving your luxo-barge $80k pick-up to PF Chang’s.

Do you think the Coast Guard, and all fire departments and all paramedic departments, exist solely to help people who make the best possible choices?

I know. And, I get it. But as someone who has volunteered with alpine and backcountry Search and Rescue for years, we don’t go looking for people based on moral considerations. At the end of the day, these are lost people and we go looking for them. Period.

Maybe someday we will come to our senses and not save you from danger based on financial reasons.

This is exactly it. The Titanic story has all the hall marks of a dramatic movie in real life - and people are watching it for that reason. It involves one of the best known wrecks of all time, technology, hubris being confronted by nature, impending tragedy and even a damn ‘clock ticking down to a media imposed…

Perhaps. Shorter charging cables are generally safer, less prone to damage, and more efficient, and generally less expensive. Which is probably why it made more sense for Tesla to go with a shorter cable since they didn’t need a universal charger. I wonder if Tesla will think it’s worth trading the benefit of a…

Because I’m sure that unsupervised, they will raise rates only enough to cover increased costs.

Here’s a not so secret secret, insurance companies don’t want to cover anyone. That’s how they make money, by taking your money and giving you nothing in return, then when they do HAVE TO do something, they fight you for every penny hoping you give up. Then the next year they raise your rates because you dared to use…

Well, but did they? CCS didn’t exist yet so Tesla had to start their own. By the time Tesla’s was operational, CCS1 had just come out. But Tesla took off way quicker and even today has a majority market share, which is only going to grow as GM, Ford, and Rivian pile on in the next year or two. J1772 would’ve been…

I would like to point out this previous report that the current report is based on:

So he’s driving a first-gen product that apparently doesn’t notify him how many stalls are available, in a charging desert, and somehow has a bad experience. I feel like 95% of EV complaints will boil down to “they should have bought a Tesla” until other manufacturers figure both software and charging out.
