    Rivan wheel falls off. Tesla steering wheel comes off.
    Bolts are on fire.

    Enjoy beta testing. Suckers.

    I just bought an adapter to use regular Tesla chargers (won't do any good on superchargers, yet). So many non-working chargers around me at hotels that I need every possible option.

    Loving my R1-T though. It is a pretty awesome vehicle.

    Ordered a Model Y LR for my Mom Jan 15, vehicle is being delivered next Friday. Neither one of us has ever sat inside a Tesla, will uber there and figure it out on the way home. Tesla is definitely doing something right if they are able to sell cars to idiots simply by clicking a few buttons on their iphone.

    I should probably get the charger that's been sitting by the door for three weeks now installed lol

    This tells you how far we have to go on autonomous driving. Tesla is probably the best there is right now and is still struggling with basic things like intersections and turn lanes.

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/breaking-tesla-recalls-363000-vehicles-29184246

    Tesla recalls 363,000 vehicles equipped with self-driving software over crash risk

    ...

    The system “may allow the vehicle to act unsafe around intersections,” including traveling straight through an intersection from a turn lane and proceeding through steady-yellow traffic lights, according to Tesla.

    "Such as traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution."

    Pick the EV of your choice... How long would it take 4 typical McDudeBros to drive from Houston to Steamboat Springs with the vehicle loaded with snowboards and gear?

    I have no idea what Toyota is doing. Is their management so hidebound that they can't see what's coming?

    Their old CEO felt hybrid technology was sufficient and they wanted to focus more hydrogen fuel from what I read. They replaced that CEO with a new one recently who is shifting to more EV. Maybe that old CEO had the right idea, but for now, the world is backing EV.

    It's crazy the OG Prius is 25 years old -- they had such a head start and blew it completely.
