Well that’s not true- I frequently access the Tesla while it’s doing an update.

Was this back when they had radar? Unintended braking is/was a common issue for all manufacturers - my Prius would randomly slam on the brakes whenever I went underneath a bridge.

Because Lexus had to justify the F-Sport package which added zero performance improvements, so they bolted on some shiny metal. The 2017 RX (and even the latest RX) is about a decade behind in technology compared to Tesla & the German m

Removing side mirrors is in full swing - this is why Teslas have the side repeater cameras that display on the screen whenever the turn signals are used. Audi has had the same thing for years. The holdup here are government regulations, but

Seriously? First of all, Teslas aren’t drive by wire, other than the accelerator, which is the case for almost every car built in the past 20 years. Secondly…okay, you have an EV. Where do you charge it? What will your range be when you arr

If you use synthetic oil, the interval is 10,000 miles or 1 year, even for your Sienna.

What modern car calls for oil changes more than once a year, assuming you’re not exceeding the mileage?

Your car has seatbelts that constantly beep and make you look down to see why? Your helmet constantly nudges you to tell you to watch the road? Your gun safety switch makes a loud noise every time you’re about to fire a gun, reminding you t

I tried to do it myself, but the module was running newer software than the vehicle, and required the other vehicle modules to be flashed to the same software version.

Doesn’t really seem like you even know what we’re discussing. You don’t need to do any coding when replacing bulbs (assuming the car has bulbs) - we’re talking about the entire headlight, which has modules that require coding. This has been

The software makes the car more dangerous. Instead of watching the road, I’m now having to look and figure out why my car is beeping at me. Apparently, I need to “pay attention to the road”, which is what I was doing before the beeping. Aft

That we should be allowed to drive our own cars without being annoyed by these terrible systems? I’ve avoided the new Lexus vehicles as their eye tracking is horrible - just glancing down to get a drink will set off alarms. Now they’ve made

My experience post-recall has been different. The system is extremely annoying now, but will leave you alone if it sees your face and knows you’re watching the road. Covering up the camera just makes it nag more frequently. It’s frankly unu

What car do you drive? Go replace the headlights in a modern vehicle and see what happens. You have to code the module to the vehicle.

Mine did - had to code the module to the car.

You don’t appear to be arguing in good faith. It was a minor issue they had 10 years ago that was fixed. Tesla obviously has excellent software, but I’m interested in what you’d consider to be excellent software, and which companies would m

The report regarding TUV inspections? Do you do understand that failing those inspections doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the car, right? Tires, wiper blades, or even rust on rotors (due to only using regenerative braking) will
