Elon is the leading innovator in the world. To innovate, one has to move on. All the companies that did not move on is gone or become stagnant. Blockbuster, GoPro, Apple ...
I think Luxe package will include lifetime FSD. Luxe package also included lifetime premium connectivity and super charging. Those are subscription or peruse features for non Luxe vehicles.
Yes, I think new innovative cars will come, however will be more of a transport robot. Fully automated, would be interesting to see Neural Link binding.
I think most people mis understand Tesla. Tesla made a drivable smartphone that includes the ecosystem, tech, and software with it. Other car...
I am very excited actually. Elon's plan was always about innovation and the future. EVs was just the beginning, then data, and AI. I always understood robotics and autonomy was his future.
Drastic change is needed to innovate. Full autonomy is almost here; there is no need to waste resources in...
Pay per mile would be like the old cell phone days with pay per minute, also those pay to play games.
It would be good if people were responsible but may accidentally overuse leading to unexpected bill. Also, the disputes of incorrect usage amounts make it a burden.
Another example, those...
I believe the FSD "Supervised" wording was added years ago after major accidents and lawsuits, where drivers were sleeping or not paying attention. They added the term "Supervised" for legal reasons, that you must be supervising the drive, not go to sleep.
Currently, "unsupervised" is still...
In my opinion FSD is well worth the $8k. I had 3-month trial and used it over 4000 miles. Makes traveling much more relaxing. It is like having a personal driver. A year's salary for a personal driver is exponentially more. $99 a month is a great deal putting to good use. Two Uber rides cost...
I may be interested. Any updates on the installation and operation video?
Looks to be velcro attached. Most likely require adding velcro onto the bed rails and tailgate edge. Interested how it attaches on the roof plastic cover. The circle piece appears to require drilling.
Yes, it was mid to high 20s on northern states and 40-50s in south. 50Wh/mi+ more is significant.
I thought it is the running boards. I installed the Tsportline aero running boards, which were supposed to be less drag than others. Anyone using running boards noticed worst efficiency?
Interesting, for Thanksgiving, I drove FL to NYC and back (2k miles) on 14.1.7 and 14.2 with average 390 Wh/mi. On holiday update 14.2.1.25 and 14.2.2.1 drove same route for Christmas averaged 440 Wh/mi. I thought was after installing running boards. I have the RWD, so always open bed.
1.2kW would require covering the roof and frunk, or even additional expansion. I guess that would make it more feasible.
I am still waiting for day of micro nuclear reactor that can power a vehicle for a decade.
400W (48V) is the most I've come across to cover up the bed opening. After some thought, It sounds like a cool idea, but in reality, there is no real use for it. It's too low power to make any useful charging.
Agree, disappointing how it was handled. Tesla had the soft tonneau listed as option and listed to ship in September but was removed completely October 1st. If they wanted to sell more of the AWD, should have just informed the soft tonneau was no longer being made.
OP said there were some that...
I like lane changing on 14.1.7 best. 14.2 was slower in lane changes but more refined overall. 14.2.1+ seems to make it worse.
Too much hesitation on 4 way streets, unprotected left, and lanes changes. Too aggressive in sudden braking when a car looks like it will come into lane. I see the...
I had looked at designing one with something like these Amazon.com : Callsun Flexible Solar Panel 400W, 2PCS 12V 200 Watt Solar Panel 23% High-Efficiency Ultra Lightweight,11BB IP68 Waterproof Portable Solar Panels for Homes RV Camping Boat Curve Surfaces : Patio, Lawn & Garden
