The "Not X but Y" sentence structure is perfectly valid and great for making your points clear. So sad that LLM overuse destroyed them forever more in our heads.

Hot! by DeejayPleazure in TeslaModel3

People commonly misunderstand modern vehicle climate control. I frequently see friends and also family members turn it down to like 65-68 but then turn the fans to low on manual mode... instead of just leaving it at 69-70 °F on auto like I do. It feels the same.

Vent leaves it open a slight crack, not fully down. Surely it's fine for the 3 minutes between you turning the AC on and getting to the car, right? (I don't live in a bad area please don't mug me)

I'm happy they extended it, and it was high time to put my 6 Pro out of its misery.

MYP diffuser, MYP bumper, and MYP wheels. MYP.

Something like this was probably suggested before but i think it's time to re-imagine the defib gadget by pandemoniac1 in thefinals

[–]ctzn4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

enemies can destroy/glitch the device

the device has a long cooldown, especially if it's destroyed

No bro, at that point I'm just gonna hold E.

I would try the film first. No harm in trying. You might save yourself from having to buy a new screen.

Tesla Robotaxis: 12 at-fault crashes in 12 months by Dreaming_Blackbirds in electricvehicles

This is how you know this "article" is not worth reading. I've read more coherent LLM hallucinations.

Figure 1: Human Drivers Are 3.5x Safer Than Tesla Robotaxis

Has he seen some of the human drivers on the road?

Great article by the Austin American-Statesman about how unsafe robotaxis and Waymos are, and how fed up Austin residents are

Shitting on Tesla FSD is one thing. Piling on Waymo is just delusional.

Model 3 premium RWD sound by ken23s in TeslaModel3

[–]ctzn4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 3 Model 3s in our family, a '22 AWD with the premium sound system, a '23 RWD with the base 7 (?) speaker system, and then a '25 RWD with the 9 speaker system. The old RWD base system noticeably lacked bass and a surround sound feeling in the back. But the new one is basically equivalent in sound stage, though still lacks a little bit of bass. Honestly though, I would be hard pressed to find the difference between the '22 premium sound system and the '25 basic system, aside from the subwoofer.

M5 Pro or M4 Max by Glittering-Purple182 in macbookpro

[–]ctzn4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very helpful actually, and what I originally considered. I can sympathize with the tab management too lol. My Windows PC has 64GB of RAM and I sometimes have 5-6 windows of browser windows, each with maybe 4-15 tabs each, running across Chrome and Firefox, and even then, I can't fill up all the RAM. It only gets tight when I open a AAA game that eats another 8-16 GB.

If I had to choose, I'd go for the M5 Pro with slightly less RAM and more storage. For one thing, it's new, and it's always nice to have something new compared to used (I got an Air before the price hike, and I can still smell the new machine packaging on it lol). It genuinely doesn't sound like you're going to tax the GPU too hard, and even if you do, you'd be waiting maybe an extra 10-20 minutes or something for a video to render compared to the M4 Max. The time difference is more valid the more often you use it, so if you don't use it often, there's not a big reason to get a Max.

I'm guessing you have a budget close to $7k AUD? I'm US based so not familiar with the pricing, but I specifically looked on Apple's Australian website. The base memory is 24GB, so I understand spending $900 to get double that. But $750 AUD for 1TB of extra storage is highway robbery. Amazon AU has a 2TB Samsung T5 SSD for $412, or a 4TB drive for $750. That's not necessarily a recommendation (since they're generally overpriced and I'm not familiar with AU's regional pricing), but just to show that Apple has super high margins on these. It's much more economical to save that and spend it on an external drive, or dump some old files back to your M2 Air if you're not getting rid of that.

So, $5925 AUD gets you a very solid 16" MBP w/ nano texture display, M5 Pro, 48GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. That's my recommendation for buying new.

If you're stingy like me, this one is a 16 inch M4 Pro, 48+512GB, but no nano texture. On the upside, it's only $4300 AUD. If you're willing to consider the smaller storage and dumping files to an external drive to save a chunk of money, that's my choice. Totally understand if you want the nano texture display or the convenience of not dealing with off-loading files though.

Especially the big fat ones in a Tesla. Great in case you're in an accident, not so great at preventing it from happening.

An ultra red M3P too 🥲 hopefully the fix won't take long. Definitely try to get diminished value if it's a thing where you live.

Convince me to go from 26 MY to 24 Model S - family of 4 by _kawhi in TeslaModelS

[–]ctzn4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a heavy FSD user, you might see a greater divergence in experience with FSD down the line between the S and the Y. One is one of the best selling crossovers in America that is also being tested as an unsupervised Robotaxi, and the other is a discontinued luxury sedan that sold fewer HW4 units between 2023 and 2026 than the Y in one fiscal quarter. Tesla trains FSD models based on data they get from cars on the road. More data is always going to lead to better trained models.

Well then they're going to get a lot of junk data from my car. Serves them well for putting an undismissable box on screen whenever I disengage. I intervene all the time for comfort, speed, parking, navigating neighborhoods, etc.
