I would say similar, not the same. You could have two motors fail on the beast and still have a motor to drive with. If you lose two motors on the dual that’s it. Nothing left.
Chances of losing two at once are admittedly much smaller than losing one but if you are looking for an...
One of the benefits of the beast though is that you can still drive it with one or even two motors out and still have it take you where you need to go. It’s a lot of redundancy for failures if you tend to be in the middle of nowhere every time something like this comes up, or even just in a...
Just to be Mr. Obvious:
I may be dating myself here, but to solve these issues there is a simple solution until Tesla releases an acceptabe update to FSD for the CT:
Drive the vehicle yourself. ?
It’s the first drive by wire rear wheel steering pickup ever. Drive it and enjoy driving it...
I’m still hoping for an option for a squircle with a thicker/beefier diameter to the grip itself rather than a larger diameter of the overall steering “wheel.” My hands are on the larger side so something a bit larger to wrap my fingers around than the current offering might be an improvement...
As early adopters nearly always are with everything.
I was with the Model S but still drive that car every day. It’s the price you pay for being among the first.
Cheers
Wish they would let the owner hit the perp with a hammer as hard as he likes as many times as he hit the truck as retribution, to be frank. I’m not a fan of violence but my tolerance for this type of behavior is zero and people wouldn’t risk doing it if the punishments were more severe. Even...
Another thing to watch is speed. My understanding is that rated miles usually are based on government mandated speeds for testing and range certifications which are often like 50-55 mph if I remember correctly. Each MPH faster than that reduces the range from that predicted as a result.
For...
One other thing to note, which could be regional terminology variance, is that in my whole life I have never heard of these being called "welcome lights."
Every time I have ever seen them listed or discussed they were referred to as "puddle lights." You should at least include that as a search...
Actually, they don’t. Not that I’ve ever seen listed, anyway.
The point of this post is that these flaps are flexible, not rigid. The rigid ones are sold by Tesla and several other 3rd party aftermarket online shops. Not many flexible mud flap options are out there for those that like to...
Agreed, BeyondSlick.
I second the recommendation for chemical guys matte wrap care products. My wife has a matte pink and matte black wrapped Model 3 which has had a vinyl wrap since 2018. It’s just recently getting to a point where some edges are peeling. You might also want some denatured...
Sorry but this makes me question the intelligence or maybe the motivations of “climate activists” in Germany.
Let me get his straight: you don’t target ICE vehicles at VW, Audi, Porsche, BMW, or Mercedes, but you target a BEV pickup truck made by Tesla as a “climate activist.”
Either they are...
I’ll disagree with this as a dissenting opinion. Buy the safest tires regardless of how they are marketed or how long they last or how loud they are or what their efficiency rating is. Whatever your driving conditions are, maximize traction and stopping power. All other considerations are...
Never in the entire life of my 130k mi of driving my BEV have i had a set of tires last anywhere near 30k miles on my RWD Model S. I buy soft tires for better grip and wet traction to be fair but i am lucky if I can go 18 months before I need a new set of tires. I once burned through a set of...
Thanks so much for posting this. My early Model S has no bumper proximity sensors and no cameras other than the single rear camera above the rear license plate. The guidelines on it have been my only assistance for parking which i prefer to to by backing in so i can pull out easier when...
