To be fair to the r/teslamotors crowd, there are at least as many people who recommend skipping the $7,000 FSD option as a waste of money.

The problem is that most people do know about how much they drive each year. In the US, its likely to be at least 12,000 miles, and probably closer to 20,000 miles. With many of these subscription car services attempting to get $1/mile

I've run into people who believe those claims. I've also run into people (on Reddit) who believed that some wealthy billionaire was buying a lot of Teslas in 2019 and hoarding them in parking garages in plans of launching a self-d

Tesla has a camera that they could use for this. They claim that its performance was not great. I hope that some comparisons are made between vehicles so equipped vs the ones that are not, in order to provide further evidence. Although that

I hope the people that built autopilot defeat devices do not figure this out. :(

I can understand where you are coming from with concerns over the marketing. I do regularly run into non-owners who are mislead by them as well as an occasional new owner who is disappointed by the reality not matching their expectations. U

The ones at 158k and 355k were the 12v battery. Those are annoying, but probably not exceptionally high for 400k miles. It looks like 317,037 was the only high voltage battery replacement. That wouldn't be too bad, IMO.

I only noticed one. Can you note the mileages when it was replaced two other times? I agree with you that most owners wouldn't have been able to get that warranteed at the 300k mile mark. Unfortunately, the battery warranty is one of T

I'm not sure that I understand your scenario. If you actually need to replace the equipment after 5 years, the accounting approach seems like the most valid approach.

I agree... I upvoted your reply as you have a legitimate question there.

Don't forget the fundraising efforts by Ellison for the same administration supporting them in this.

You are getting downvoted, but your points are fair. It wasn't that long ago that people criticized Airbus for some surprisingly similar reasons.

I once took a certification exam sort of like that. The goal was to make the tests pass, except for one random stage where the test itself was bugged. It was noted in the notes for that section, but not in an obvious way. I was not impresse

I was curious about that to. Lots of references to video related standards that imply its a PoE camera, but then why isn't the data encoded in the usual ways? What does that mean?

It is a fair point that they didn't say it on day 1. Having said that, they've been talking about the potential for computer upgrades since at least 2017: https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/9/16119746&#

At $31k, the Leaf does not have fast charging and has a range of 149 miles. Want "Quick" charging at a peak rate of 50KW? That's the $34k Leaf, which still has a range of 149 miles. Granted, this comes with a tax break, but c

They didn't. They had been saying for years that it would require a computer upgrade that could be done with a service visit, and that the service visit would be free for people who purchased the "FSD" option.

TBH, I think the idea that the Leaf from 7 years ago is in the same segment requires some distortion of reality. The Leaf is not nearly as sporty, had a much lower range, and also had a much less reliable battery. The modern Leaf fixes thes

One issue that I have with that explanation is that the Monroney may not necessarily be the sole contract between Tesla and the dealer. Without hearing the dealer's side of the story, this part is hard to know conclusively.

It isn't really a fundamental hardware issue, its a fundamental issue with trying to work around the training requirements that should come along with a new airframe. I suspect that a thorough review of some of the more complex Airbus

I can't agree. I've been using Android since the Nexus One days, and it is generally much more stable for me than some of those early devices.

OTOH, it provides a nice way to try out the service without a commitment and without burning a "free trial".
