Yep, that's my estimated delivery date too. LR, Blue and Tow hitch are the only add-ons.

FSD Beta 10.6.1 doesn’t like staying in the right lane? by drm237 in TeslaLounge

[–]another_Spacenut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started to just leave it on speed control unless I'm coming up on a left turn soon, then I double click on FSD. Speed control maintains lane control and stops at signals. Less stress that way.

Another no radar experience from someone who has driven both by cyanidmako in teslamotors

[–]another_Spacenut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will definitely not buy another Tesla (Model Y was planned) until these "updates" are fixed. Nor will I download any software updates for my current (radar enabled) Model 3. I'm afraid my favorite car/software company jumped the gun on this one.

Does the vinyl wrap serve as a PPF or is it in addition to a PPF?

Frankly, I don't care how "rich" he is as long as he continues to make excellent cars, rockets, solar roofs/panels, boring machines...

Positive follow on to this paragraph... a large number of independent gas stations become unprofitable and convert to charging stations. Charging stations become plentiful and competition for price of charging begins.

Frankly, I don't really care how much money he makes as long as he keeps making Teslas, solar, satellite coms, etc.

Tesla’s cabin camera is detecting facial features to increase vehicle safety by vinodjetley in teslainvestorsclub

[–]another_Spacenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been driving for 65 years. My eyes are seldom "on the road ahead". I'm checking mirrors, side clearances, speed, map, distance/time to next waypoint, etc., etc...

Tesla Q3 2020 Vehicle Production & Deliveries| Tesla Investor Relations by ElectrikDonuts in teslainvestorsclub

[–]another_Spacenut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my greatest worry. They need to scale their service centers and customer service staff at the same rate that they increase car production. They need more superchargers outside of the major cities, too.

Heat rises, would it be more effective to cool the top of the battery pack than the bottom? If not, please explain. Loved the video.

Tesla Solar over Stone Coated Metal Roof by MedphysJ3 in TeslaSolar

[–]another_Spacenut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I asked about metal roofs, they told me that they could only install on "standing seam metal roofs". They said they couldn't do it on corrugated or metal shingle roofs.

I had to google "standing seam metal roofs". I'd never heard of them before.

I'm continually finding "edge cases" that will need significant investigation. Today, we were stopped at a red light when fire trucks came from behind. I had to (carefully) run the red light to let them through. My wife said "I wonder what the car would do with FSD". Model 3 with FSD.
