Congrats Bob. I think you are indeed the youngest whipper snapper on these forums. If I had to guess the demographic here is mostly old white dudes, similar to corvette owners.
Now get off my lawn!
Several people on this forum have posted they got new wheels, I don't see any reason why you couldn't as well. That said, a good refinish is indistinguishable from a new wheel.
I personal prefer the caps and will accept the damage. Granted putting air in the tires is a lot more of a pain with...
Maybe I missed it. Honest question, who is claiming this? The warning AND the disengagement are the same thing. When you see the warning, the vehicle is no longer self driving (its only going straight and slowing down). As shown in the video.
Edit: A better way to put it is there is no warning...
A found a clip of what happens when a Tesla gives the "TAKE OVER IMMEDIATELY" notification. Its not a dramatic video, its only to demonstrate the behavior of the car when the alert happens. You can see if this alert happened in a turn and you dont respond fast enough, you could crash into a...
Here is the answer to your question:
I dont know why you are assuming the driver didnt get the notification. The video is of the dashcams during a crash. It would not show a a "TAKE OVER IMMEDIATELY" notification in that video. That notification only shows inside the vehicle.
When the a "TAKE...
Total Incidents: From June 2021 through mid-2024, there were 3,979 reported incidents involving Automated Driving Systems (ADS) or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), with at least 83 deaths, according to reported data.
Source: NHTSA ADS data, they only started collecting in June 2021...
Check all the common issues:
Water Leaks: A lot of tonneau covers came missing a slat at the top. You will see a hole in the top one if you are affected.
Wind Noise: Reports indicate poor sealing on doors and the rear tonneau cover, resulting in water infiltration and significant cabin noise...
New technology typically has a positive impact on society in the long term. The short term can be disruptive and painful for some people/groups.
Its actually pretty remarkable how slowly regulations have been behind on Self Driving. Very few other new technologies have the capacity to kill as...
Its absolutely wild you refuse to even consider something is possible, even after seeing evidence. You don't have to buy it 100%, but to outright say the proof is invalid is something else.
I can assure you my FSD disengages regularly on my Model Y. Sometimes seemingly without any reason...
The idea is people would understand the behavior the vehicle is not the driver. They would be more likely to drive around or not honk. Also other vehicles with AIs could use the light to identify and caravan with each other. That could be safer and more efficient
I get the "takeover immediately" error message on the Model Y very frequently. I've already gotten two this morning. It's literally never happened on the Cybertruck. I'm thinking there's some issue with our Model Y and I'm going to take it in for service.
Was there a written agreement before the work was provided? It's industry standard practice to not provide refunds but to address the issues within the warranty period.
Okay I'll bite. Let's play a game. I will list examples of government regulation that were fought against by the automotive industry. Then you explain to me how the government only did it to make money.
Safety features that only became common after regulation required them:
1972 a new...
Alteratively you could run a razor along the edges and make it an Edge-to-Edge job instead of a Wrap Around job. That would solve most of the issues you see, and you would only see a tiny sliver of silver at the edges.
I installed my own PPF. The cantrail is particularly hard to deal with. Its hard to clean around the edges because it has rubber seals on the top, contamination is very likely. It was the only place I had issues. Its also the edge closest to your sight-line so you are very likely to see...
This might be different than your dog scratches. I believe the dog scratches you see is actually keratin of your dog's nails being "filed" off onto the surface of the brushed SS. They fade away when the keratin washes away.
In this case the lady used some sort of iron nails against the iron...
