  1. Model 3 Refresh Revealed!

    This is not a PEBKAC problem. Activating the wipers isn't the problem. These problems interact: Enabling cruise control ("autopilot") enables auto-wipers. Auto wipers always seem to be enabled. Getting the auto-wipers to stop in situations where running the wipers generates self-inflicted...
  2. Model 3 Refresh Revealed!

    As a Tesla owner, I'm familiar with this argument - but I don't believe it. I've rented FSD for a month in my car and I found it to have a long way to go. It's been nearly a year and the windshield wipers still react incorrectly to self-induced streaks. It's been a year and autopilot still...
  3. Model 3 Refresh Revealed!

    That's not the question. The question is: why is the new interface better than the standard interface cars have had for most of the last century? One you answer that question, then the question you answered (about adaptation) becomes relevant. I'm adaptable. What I'm not convinced of is that...
  4. Model 3 Refresh Revealed!

    If I remember automotive lore correctly, push button shifters were considered problematic because they were error-prone. I haven't driven a stalkless Tesla yet, but this could be a dealbreaker for me. (I'll test drive one to be sure before I make any big moves.) my Model Y is missing several...
  5. Model 3 Refresh Revealed!

    It's a self-selected group. The people who bought the Model 3 generally like it, the peoe who don't like it generally don't buy it. Assuming, of course, that we're only looking at the subset of people who have the means, the motive, and the opportunity to buy a Tesla.
  6. I want to get out of Bitcoin and buy TSLA stock....easiest way?

    If you have to ask this question, you should consider selling bitcoin and buying an index fund like VTI. Buying VTI is placing a bet on the growth of capitalist economy of the United States of America, which is a relatively safe long-term bet. The returns can be lower, but the risk is...
  7. Tesla Insurance coming to Florida?

    The weather & climate issues don't need to break the insurance market, but TPTB in Florida need to be able adapt & mitigate when nature throws them a curveball. Palm trees bend instead of breaking.
  8. Tesla Insurance coming to Florida?

    Large homeowners insurance providers are leaving Florida. This isn't a murmer, it's a fully-developed trend in the insurance industry. As with any major industry trend, it has multiple causes: Floridian laws, Floridian politics, Floridian weather, Floridian hurricanes, and Floridian effects of...
  9. Active shooter reported at Giga Texas [false alarm]

    I've been through multiple credible threats of a massacres, and also a worst-in-modern-Ameican-history massacre on the academic campus where I worked at the time. While the real thing is worse, false alarms are deeply traumatic as well -- especially when you are aquinted with the ongoing...
  10. GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!

    Asking myself *when* this was the case was my route to wisdom. When, exactly, were the good old days? And for whom? Were all Americans from all racial and ethnic groups included at that time? And, of not, where those really the good old days? I didn't like the answers I got, but they were...
  11. ? Rivian Adopts Tesla NACS Standard!

    An astoundingly bright future is already priced in to TSLA's stock price.
  12. GM Adopting NACS Tesla Charge Ports on Its Vehicles Starting 2025!

    Look no further than the per-kWh charges at Superchargers. The majority of my Supercharging has been at $0.44/kWh. My home electricity costs about 1/3rd that, so Tesla's markup can be as high as 200% (300% of their costs), assuming they're paying retail prices for electricity -- but they're...
  13. Ford EV will gain access to Tesla Superchargers and come with standard NACS ports starting 2025!

    The funny thing about automotive accounting is that it has to be based on the number of units you expect to sell - in order to provide any actionable information. If you change that sales-expectation number, everything else changes with it. This is a business where you spend a billion dollars...
  14. Ford EV will gain access to Tesla Superchargers and come with standard NACS ports starting 2025!

    Big castings aren't the only way to make an EV. Given Tesla's unique access to capital (remember that Musk's genius is in generating investor-hype and the stock is priced an order of magnitude higher than the conventional pricing models suggest it should be), making a big capital investment...
