Yeah, with turn stalks and shift levers. The plaid moved everything to buttons on the yoke. That’s fine, except they aren’t real buttons.

Because I said one part was good and another part was bad about the yoke? I'm pointing out how all the reviews have it wrong. The lack of buttons is the bad part. The yoke itself is fine. I've used it for six months now. Still wish for real buttons. 

The yoke is actually great when driving on regular roads. It only sucks in parking lots. And even there, not that bad.

Every critical control function in the model 3 / Y and refresh S / X are fully redundant. There are two computers, two power steering controllers, etc... Even duplicate wiring. 

I did look at the video. He was completely in control of the vehicle. There’s just no display of the speed. He wasn’t stuck at 83 mph. The display was stuck at 83 mph.

exactly. Even autopilot still works without the screen.

Yeah, this story is nonsense. The screen is independent from critical driving functions. The hazards, turn signals, etc. all continue working, even with the screen totally off. You just don’t get any indication in the car that they are on. Even autopilot will continue to run without the screen. I’ve rebooted the…

Hot take. It wasn’t a bad looking car, from far away... 

The Model S plaid stops 60-0 in 104 ft, thanks to ridiculously wide tires. However, it accelerates to 0-60 in only 98 ft thanks to 1020 HP!

No way. When you are boarding in a late zone, you grab whatever bin space is available. Someone has likely already taken the bin space above your seat if you are boarding in zone 15.... 

fair. I’m on my fourth service trying to get issues fixed from delivery. But, it’s hard to argue with 1020 HP. It’s stupid fast and fun. The Taycan feels painfully slow by comparison. I test drove both before buying the Plaid. Nothing else comes close.

This is exactly the kind of EV we need. You have a much larger carbon reduction from taking massive trucks and SUVs off the road than shuffling prius owners into Model 3s. As much as I love Tesla, this is a great move. Replacing 13 mpg vehicles with EVs will have massive carbon savings, even if they use a lot of…

you meant cobalt. and yes. we can make batteries without cobalt.

If you don’t drive much, 120V can be fine. About 4 mph. 12 hours of charging is about 50 miles. So, if your daily drive is less than 50 miles, you’ll be fine with 120V. 

You don’t even need a dedicated charger. Just an outlet. NEMA 14-50 or 6-20. 

No they don’t. You can even charge off 120V, if you have to. If your panel is limited, a NEMA 6-20 outlet can be added rather than NEMA 14-50. That will give sufficiently fast 240V charging overnight. I didn’t have enough spare capacity for a 50A circuit, but a 20A circuit was fine. A 6-20 outlet can often re-use…

There are tens of thousands of charging stations, all over the place. And daily charging for 95% of charging is at home, so you never need to visit a charging station. I only use them on long trips. 

More fast EV sedans, roadsters, and convertibles please. No more crossovers. Blah.

Yeah, sort of baffled why most states don’t have state-run inspection stations like NJ. Nothing but inspections. No conflict of interest. I think it was even free? I don’t remember paying... 

Uhhh. Performance specs? Is it fast? That’s all I care about.
