    It would make changing lanes easier. 🤔

    Discuss: Tesla Roadster Event Recap: It Flies, Flips, and Hits 0-60 in 0.81s

    I was really intrigued and surprised when it drove up the wall and upside down. I was SHOCKED when it flew off the stand, flipped over, and landed! Oh, it's not practical in any sense of the word but it is enjoyable and I'm not sure any other car maker could/would have pulled this off. I'm no...

    Discuss: Tesla Quietly Rolls Out New 'Dynamic Headlight Leveling' to Select Cars

    I'm not sure how helpful this will really be in the real world. In the 6 years of driving Tesla's I don't think I've ever thought that the headlights were not aimed properly. Matrix headlights, on the other hand, are very useful and I love every minute of night driving with them.

    Discuss: Tesla Introduces Emergency Supercharger Breakaway Feature

    While I like the initiative from Tesla, I'm doubting the need. Like @TESLASUPERFAN I don't think I've ever heard of an actual incident that would cause someone to flee a supercharging session. There might possibly be some circumstance at some point in the future where this feature might help...

    Discuss: Tesla FSD V14.3.9 Triggers False Camera Service Alerts

    I've noticed a HUGE increase in the number of warnings and alerts with v14.3.9. It's now triggering alerts when I get too close to the grass across the street when I back out of my driveway. Yesterday it was really fighting me (and blaring the alarms) because it thought I wasn't in the road or...

    Discuss: Tesla's New 'Preferred Routes' Doesn't Require the Summer Update

    I wish it took time-of-day into account. I have a couple of routes home and choosing the best one depends on the day and time. One route goes through a school zone, which I like to avoid during the week in the afternoons. Another route passes by a church with is busy on Sunday mornings.

    Discuss: Tesla FSD V14 Lite Coming Soon to Model S and Model X

    No, this update is targeting legacy (pre 2021) MS & MX vehicles with HW3 computers. Current MS & MX vehicles get the full v14 release.

    How does Rivian's mobile app compare to Tesla's?

    Yes, they totaled it out pretty quickly. The guy that hit me had USAA insurance and the process couldn't have been smoother. I sent them an edited (shortened) clip from the front camera showing that I had a green light for 3 seconds before I entered the intersection and the USAA agent...

    How does Rivian's mobile app compare to Tesla's?

    @PrescottAZRichard, yes I thought about posting to TMC, but that community is so large and haphazard that it just feels a bit ... overwhelming. This community is much more personable and friendly and I don't seem much of this type of discussion so I thought it would be good to chat about. And...

    How does Rivian's mobile app compare to Tesla's?

    With the supply of used R1S vehicles is getting more plentiful and affordable I am wondering how their software stacks up. I've test driven a Rivian several times but you can't really get a feel for the software in that short amount of time. Are there any Rivian owners here that can comment...

    Discuss: Tesla HW3 Computers Are Overheating on FSD V14 Lite

    I think that a major contributing factor to the failures/overheating are issues with the cars coolant system. If everything is perfect (no low coolant levels, no air in the system, etc.) then v14-lite probably works OK. However, as the article states, if there are preexisting issues with the...

    Discuss: How the Rivian R2 Compares to the Model Y in Efficiency

    I don't think I'm super surprised at the numbers the R2 is posting. Having test driven one a coupe of weeks ago I can confirm that it is a great vehicle, for a certain use case, but it is an aerodynamic brick. I don't think that I would really consider an R2 (or any Rivian) as a cross country...

    Discuss: Tesla's 2026.26 Summer Update Lets You Video Conference on Google Meet, Teams & Discord

    I would really like it if they had an app store. And I'm talking about a real app store that has hard requirements. Or maybe authorize some independent development teams to build apps. Since this is a pretty sensitive environment I'm trying to keep out the "rifraf" of apps. We don't need...
