It’s not great that they haven’t fixed the turn lane logic. It has turn by turn navigation already so it shouldn’t be rocket science to parse that to know what is coming next

Some article said Tesla was converting FS inventory vehicles into non FS for Canada delivery…

The EV pipeline is dead. You’re not getting any magical new EVs arriving in 2027. Hyundai’s version of the EV9 is basically the same thing except weird looking. Companies need time for development and Ford already killed their 3 row project because the scale has to come from the low end of the...

So you lose your tow hooks and jack them up in an accident? This seem kind of dangerous if it were to rip off and come through the windshield. Really wish “companies” would come up with actually engineered products rather than assume people are cool with the idea of permanently hanging 200...

The starlink mini roam 50 GB plan is only $50/mo. Pretty comparable to a cell plan.

Oh no I hate it there. It’s basically communist China all around. So weird as a dystopian polar opposite to California. If California is actual China Texas is like some alternative China that leans into a different ideology but still practices the same things. You can only truly understand it if...

The irony is that the nutty haters aren’t white liberals that voted left. They’re usually crackheads or diesel bros so that’s a much safer way to rationalize it so you don’t get yourself in trouble. There’s no benefit to getting worked up over what a crackhead is getting worked up over. That’s a...

Not sure Colorado sees the hate more. In my neighborhood there are 2 or 3 almost on the same street and when the tonneau trim was flying off I saw another one in town with missing trim. I just think you have more people on drugs and as a result probably a higher probability of encountering brain...

If you’re going to the trouble of removing those pieces just take it to any upholstery shop and get it done custom. Why even bother getting the stock color? Redoing 5 pieces with alcantara probably would not cost more than $1k and that sounds expensive if they are just gluing on to the old...

Why not just machine polish if you’re going for a glossier look? You’d save a lot of time and it would get done in a day and you get a more uniform finish. A cyclo random orbital with a green pad and basically any polish would be where I’d start. But the fingerprint situation would be even...

Usually polish needs to come off with a rinse pretty soon after. It can stain plastics and stuff.

Toyotas are engineered like something you could buy in the 90s. And they cheap out on basic materials like steel or at a minimum fail to do proper QC. See all of the lawsuits over frame rusting that they have dealt with in the last 20 years. If your quality reference is simply making something...

Just came across a “Mercedes” charging station at a Buc’ees in Texas. It was on the Chargepoint network so I’m assuming these are Mercedes branded chargepoint installed stations. I would have tried it out but there were 70 Tesla stalls and 4 of the CCS…

Seems like the cost (buying a rack just for the keys) for such a low probability outcome is going to be greater than the probabilistic gains from such a rare opportunity (actually finding a CT with a rack) and also for an owner it seems like sentry mode would deter most potential thieves.

I’m not sure that’s true about urban environments. You may need to nudge it or be intervention ready in lane changes but I drove in a pretty busy part of Houston with a lot of hectic lane changes and I’m not sure I would have performed any better given the conditions. It knew where to go and...

I think you should lower your expectations until v13. These complex scenarios still tend to require intervention.

It still tries to hop out of HOV

Yep, that’s what I’ve found at chargepoint and Enel X. I was on the phone with them in Durango and we tried activating it every way possible and because it doesn’t seem to lock the station keeps waiting and after a while it does lock but by then the station has timed out. So there’s something...

I’ve seen RTTs since the first Tepuis and that style is pretty hideous to throw on top of something as stylistically specific as the CT. What we need is a low profile GFC style topper that hydraulically lowers to be flush with the bed.

You mean from standing on it? That’s normal use. When it gets out of whack it’s easy to recalibrate (if the button pops up).
