This is the best response. If you get mad at the haters, they win. If you smile and have a good time, it takes the wind out of their sails and most will sheepishly go away. A few may do some self-reflection. Another slightly less friendly thing I do is smirk at them and encourage them while...
I think it's a great idea. The Tesla/x.ai conglomerate has one of the best AI models out there too. Would be great to use it to identify misbehavior and automatically alert the police, with a nice multi-angle evidence package of the misdeeds.
It’s a business flop. Won’t sell anywhere near how much they had planned. The headlines are crafted to make it seem like it flopped because it’s a bad car. It’s too expensive and polarizing for a lot of people so there aren’t many buyers. But I think the vast majority of owners are happy with...
Weren’t we supposed to get ASS one of these weeks? I hope this isn’t a neutered version of that promise where only people selected for and opted in to early access get it for now.
I have Powershare (no Powerwall, but I don't think it matters) which is before the circuit breaker panel, and then have a generator inlet connected to the panel with an interlock. Technically I can power the house using the truck connected to the generator inlet but that would be silly...
On one hand that's infuriating, but on the other hand it didn't cause any damage. Sorry it happened to you though. I often drive through Mt. Vernon on my way to visit family, so I feel the pain. Someone did this to a CT in the parking lot at Summit at Snoqualmie, but I wiped it off before the...
Man I liked your enthusiasm on this forum but you're out of line here. The vandalism and arson incidents are piling up and seem to be disproportionately happening in Seattle. I can handle the hostility in public but don't want to subject my family to it. On top of that, the police are legendary...
Not clear yet if intentional fire or not. Either one is terrible news. I drive my kids around in a CT in the Seattle area, and it's becoming harder and harder justifying doing so with such a huge target on these vehicles. The hostility has escalated into vandalism and violence. I hate to let the...
Seems like there should be a dedicated section of the forum for hate incidents specifically towards CTs. We shouldn’t be hiding them, we should be collecting data about how widespread it’s getting. Ban political discussion if necessary to prevent flame wars.
I live out west and it’s becoming more dicey taking the CT to the city or leaving it unattended for hours at a time. Kind of decreases the utility of the truck when you have to factor in the probability of dealing with vandalism or damage. Given the politics of the area, taking matters into my...
For keeping an eye on rear facing babies while driving, I used a mirror that straps onto the head rest of the seat they’re in.
if you’re asking about an actual video feed kind of baby monitor, any standard non-WiFi monitor off of Amazon should work.
Assuming you live in one of the areas that is subject to RTA tax (most of King, Pierce, Snohomish counties), trucks weighing over 6000lb are exempt from it.
Near Seattle it’s all the first category, none of the second. Constant protests at Tesla showrooms.

I've rotated the tires on both my Y and CT. Here are some additional differences:
CT wheel & tire is much heavier. Close to 100lb each. I'm in decent shape and it is a struggle, even using some lug guide tool to make it easier. Model Y is so much easier in comparison.
Torque for Y is 129 ftlb...
Sorry to hear about that. Very frustrating. I don’t like MyQ but in this case it’s not MyQs fault. The same thing would have happened with Homelink. The car makes the decision to trigger the door to close and MyQ/homelink is merely obeying the command.
I don’t use the auto open/close partly for...
Probably liability. If no one is around and the car lowers itself onto a person or curb and injures someone/something, “how can Tesla enable such irresponsible behavior”, etc
