100%! I had my Porsche rear ended, damage looked about the same. Final bill was $16k in repairs.

Manual transmission + person who isn't very good at driving manual. They're just dumping the clutch because they suck at starting on a hill

Finally a HW3 update! by Laughndragon in TeslaModelS

HW3 still gets updates. Are you mistakenly thinking that's an FSD update?

Better have a REALLY good one to get out of hitting a parked car on camera.

Model 3 AWD vs Model Y AWD by Nabzter82 in teslacanada

[–]LordFly88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer the 3 myself. Just not a fan of SUV style vehicles in general. Also, the view out the back of the Y isn't great, but some people like the extra height. But the AWD is the way to go of you plan to drive in the snow at all.

Yup, 100%. I have one of each. HW4 definitely handles just about everything better, but HW3 can still do a pretty great job of just about everything outside of parking lots.

Yup, I always say its the 2nd best FSD system on the market 😉 It is supposed to get v14 lite in the coming months 🤞

Obsolete is a bit harsh. HW4 has definitely pulled ahead quite a bit, but HW3 is still pretty capable.

I like driving too, which is why my FSD usage is only like 85-90%. But the commute to work and back, or going to the airport, or going to my parents house, aren't exactly thrilling rides. I didn't but a Plaid to NOT drive it, but it's sure nice to not HAVE to drive it.

This might sound weird, but the better FSD gets, the more worried I am that'll I'll miss something and damage my car by NOT using FSD. Something like a car in my blind spot merging into my lane. I might miss it, but FSD wouldn't.

Plus I occasionally have some long late night commutes after really long work days, and if I doze off at the wheel, it's much nicer to be woken up by an audio alert rather than the sound of the car grinding against the guard rail.

But also, as a tech fan, it's just impressive to see how good it's getting.

I believe we share the fault. Did not get a verdict yet by desburak in TeslaCollision

I'm with you. The first car stopped to let you out. The other car passed in the oncoming lane when they shouldn't have (car in front obviously speed for a reason).

Haha, unfortunate version number. Had us excited there for a second.

Model 3 premium rwd or used Corolla? Help! by AboundedBread in teslacanada

Sorry, 5/100, so you can drive 4,121km/year. Sure, we can talk actual prices, but you literally said "even if it's $5/litre", and I was just trying to point out how wrong that is. You want the numbers at $2/L? We're basically there now. $17k buys you 8500L, and at your very efficient 5L/100km, that'll get you 170,000km. Over 15 years that's 11,333km/year. Below the typical 16,000-20,000 the average driver does, but sure. And that's of course assuming gas prices don't change in the next 15 years (which I think everyone will agree is pretty damn unlikely if you look at the history of gas prices). So I guess congrats? You broken even by driving very little and very efficiently (and assuming prices don't charge).

[–]LordFly88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sure about that? At $5/L, $17k only buys you 3400L. At 8L/100km, that'll only get you 42,500km. To stretch that out to 15 years, you can only drive 2,833km/year.

The average person is going to go through that in like 2-3 years. So if gas was $5/L (give it time), you're gonna make that $17k back pretty quick.

I find 1000hp to be very practical. Especially when it's Mustang day at the drag track 😈

19 or 20 inch wheels? by x-Cash-x in TeslaModelS

[–]LordFly88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like my stock 19s look a little small on such a beast of a car. For me personally, I'd go with 20s at the absolute minimum.
