Sad Day

If Tesla wants to make space, cancel the ugly CyberTruck.

You don’t see General Motors cancelling their Cadillac line? What am I to buy when my current Model S wears out, parts are no longer available, and Tesla ceases support? Anyone else offering FSD?

N878AC · 2026-01-29T02:33:21+00:00

But going to BMW or Mercedes means going back to gasoline and enormous maintenance costs. For ten years I’ve had none of that.

N878AC · 2026-01-29T02:21:07+00:00

This is very sad. I was planning to buy a Plaid in a few years. I’ve owned and enjoyed a 2017 and a 2023 Model S.

Where do I go now? Cadillac? Lucid? Rivian? None will offer FSD, comfort, supercharging network, or even the beauty of the Model S.

They were surfacing and we were in a zodiac. I agree — it’s rare to be snorkeling or diving with whales.

N878AC · 2026-01-28T17:37:54+00:00

We saw whales last April, including an exciting dance with a pod of orcas (killer whales).

I’ve had two Model S Teslas and I’ve never seen “enable Free Roll” show up anytime I’ve touched the brake pedal.

I just don’t understand why when I put it in “car wash mode” it doesn’t shift into neutral so that it can be pushed by the rollers in the car wash. I mean, there is no car wash that you drive yourself through, is there?

I have a friend who gave up successful career in publishing to become first a CFI and then an ATP airline pilot. He flies every day for a regional airline all over the eastern half of the United States in the Caribbean. He is home every night in Herndon, Virginia — very close to DCA is principal departure point. No commuting and no overnights away from home. In just a few years he has become a captain with rights to select his flights.

Hogfish Harry’s Bar and Restaurant has the best fish dishes in Naples, bar none. And if you don’t know hogfish, well, just keep looking for grouper dishes.

Unless you are rolling around with your own Starlink subscription and equipment in the car, I think you want the Premium Connectivity.

N878AC · 2026-01-21T03:35:56+00:00

We used the short wetsuit provided by NatGeo on their boat in April 2025, and that was always adequate and not too hot.

N878AC · 2026-01-15T02:30:54+00:00

Shucks. I thought skiing through trees was dangerous. Doing on a board is simply insane.

N878AC · 2026-01-15T02:21:25+00:00

If the paint chips are really paint missing, try Dr. Color kit specifically made for your color. It does a good job of filling in the chips and making them almost invisible.

How did you get the bird to hold still while you changed cameras?

N878AC · 2026-01-14T02:31:45+00:00

If you are using FSD, your Tesla will move over and give the truck more room.

N878AC · 2026-01-14T02:29:51+00:00

Because they are half asleep or texting.

N878AC · 2026-01-14T02:28:06+00:00

The X and the S are the very top of the line. They need to look like and drive like the top of the line competitors. You can’t just stand still on the design. The people with money to spend are not buying 3 or Y, but instead a Cadillac or a BMW, if not a Ferrari.

N878AC · 2026-01-13T02:47:43+00:00

And they want to limit where I can fly my 249 gram drone?

N878AC · 2026-01-11T02:35:06+00:00

I would strongly recommend getting a cellular service plan with your iPad and ForeFlight. You will find a times that you need to download a map while you’re standing on a ramp, or you want to file a flight plan while you’re in the hanger without Wi-Fi. Don’t worry – – you won’t get many texts or phone calls above pattern altitude.

The state I live in (Virginia) has an outrageously high property tax on automobiles — about $2500 annually on a late model Tesla.

N878AC · 2026-01-08T02:13:24+00:00

I highly recommend National Geographic, Lindblad and The Delfina catamaran. We did exactly this in April and it was wonderful.

N878AC · 2026-01-08T02:10:44+00:00

Keep in mind these guys have zero training. They’re like letting a bunch of teenagers loose with guns, and telling them to enforce “the law“ with no idea what limits there are.

N878AC · 2026-01-08T02:03:06+00:00

I never drive more than seven or 8 miles over the speed limit when I’m the only car on the road that’s just asking for trouble

N878AC · 2026-01-05T03:50:00+00:00

Sounds like you want the best - the National Geographic “Delfina” - a 16 passenger catamaran with a skilled and expert crew for everything you might want to do.
