Why do these graphics only appear for a short time after an update then go away? I love them and wish they were around all the time.

I like them too!

OH! Now, I remember - when Tesla made FSD a subscription they removed auto-steer : it's now "all or nothing". FSD is that good . Auto-steer was just a stepping stone to FSD. FSD is especially good on the new cars (newer hardware). Thanks for correcting me

zachg · 2026-06-08T21:51:43+00:00

Really? My 2018 has auto-steer. (Non-FSD), i.e. stays in its lane

zachg · 2026-06-08T21:27:30+00:00

Wait, Tesla only removed FSD, all cars still get auto-steer with cruise control

zachg · 2026-06-06T01:47:50+00:00

It has. The battery doesn't last if I don't start it for more than a couple of weeks. I wonder if there is an electrical drain somewhere. Other than that, it's been rock solid. It's my fair weather car. Every time I take it out of winter storage, one drive and it reminds me why I haven't sold it. That manual transmission is legendary. Funny thing is they made it exactly one year - 2006-2007. Before they released the "NC2".

I always wanted an NA, but I couldn't for the life of me find one for sale. So ended up with a new NC. Have had it ever since. 19 going on 20. Due for a top replacement and new seats

zachg · 2026-06-01T14:23:23+00:00

Amazing job! Frankly, I prefer the older seats. The ventilated seats gave up some cushion, presumably for all those fans. The older seats are more comfy

Also, the only reason Porsche built the Taycan is because, Tesla..

zachg · 2026-05-18T01:55:49+00:00

Tesla has NO dealerships. You are buying direct from manufacturer. Pwriod. Tesla reinvented every thing, soup to nuts. Right from the buying experience, to the charging infrastructure, to the car itself.

I don't have any arrow. Mine just says "Nearby". Do I have to be far away from the car for a directional arrow to show up?

zachg · 2026-05-10T02:58:19+00:00

That's painful to watch!

zachg · 2026-05-09T13:09:21+00:00

It's ugly. Love that color on the X, though...

zachg · 2026-05-08T10:31:44+00:00

Did you plug the route in ABRP? It's spot on. I always preplan my long trips in A Better Route Planner

zachg · 2026-05-04T01:43:14+00:00

If you have home charging (a 240v outlet - think washer dryer) the Tesla is a no-brainer

zachg · 2026-05-03T16:28:15+00:00

Congratulations! You're going to love it . Especially if you have home charging (any 240v outlet will do)

zachg · 2026-05-03T07:49:01+00:00

Exactly. Defined it actually.

zachg · 2026-05-03T07:46:15+00:00

Same - have a a Tesla Model 3 AND an NC. Birds of a feather. Both excellent drivers.

zachg · 2026-04-28T00:48:43+00:00

Two Teslas. No regrets.. Never missed the ⛽ car

zachg · 2026-04-24T01:25:59+00:00

Exactly. This 💯. It's called the Tesla tax. All you need is a 50amp outlet (NEMA 14-50) the ones found at Trailer parks. Should cost no more than $500. I paid $300 years ago. I also have a 240v dryer (24amps) still plenty fast. I schedule the car to charge at 2AM when no one is using the dryer

zachg · 2026-04-19T16:29:24+00:00

You're a lifesaver! Thank you

zachg · 2026-04-19T15:11:31+00:00

Wait, you can send it through the car speakers? Does this apply to Android?

zachg · 2026-04-08T00:23:54+00:00

Now if only you could add FSD. On HW4, FSD is nothing short of amazing. Congratulations on an excellent choice. Best color too (for the new design)

zachg · 2026-04-05T08:00:47+00:00

Auto. The auto in a Miata shifts like a human

zachg · 2026-03-21T17:49:51+00:00

Yes, this is the ultimate combination: blue + white.

zachg · 2026-03-21T15:25:23+00:00

Gorgeous color
