I wish you well with the Subbie. My Subbie was the biggest piece of junk I’ve ever owned, and will never buy another. Current Canadian Teslas aren’t made in America either. They are Chinese.

Most of you know, but just in case, Tesla Autopilot and Tesla FSD Supervised are very different things. Tesla now only offers fairly limited driver assistance features or FSD. So if you don’t subscribe to FSD, or have one of the defunct purchase plans, the driver assistance features are more...

Maybe, but the Internal camera has to be spoofed for that to work. I let the camera do the job as designed and pay attention. Mankind will always find ways to misuse technology. Technology can always be used for both good and bad whether it’s a car, electricity, or a hammer.

So far it stops for pedestrians. Maybe someday it won’t.

Hardware version 4, FSD version 14.3.8, software version 2026.26.6.5

I don’t always have my hands on the wheel or my foot hovering over the brake. When I first got the car, I did. After a while you learn what it is really good at, and where it might need help. That doesn’t mean it won’t suddenly have some unexpected bad behavior, but it is rare. So I either...

It is FSD Supervised, and still much easier than no FSD. If you don’t want to supervise it, you shouldn’t use it. Eventually it will be unsupervised, but it’s certainly not yet. I use FSD 98% of the time. There is still 2% of the time it needs my help solar storm or not.

Since the thread title fits, 658 miles today. 12 hours. Just north of Houston, TX to back home. I could not do this anymore without FSD. It’s so much easier; I can drive much further without glazing over.

Even a Tesla doesn’t have Apple car play.

What we really wanted IF the Corolla ever died was a RAV4 hybrid. We had a Subaru. Never again. We like Foresters,, but Subaru will never get another cent of my money after the total lack of support for the piece of junk they sold me. When everything changed, we needed FSD. So we had one...

Build quality has improved, and supposedly the Austin factory has fewer issues than the Fremont factory. They are still Li ion batteries, but those have pluses and minuses to LFP. Yes LFP can charge to 100%, but are not as energy dense. Yes in some cases the have in the past lasted longer...

My Tesla Model Y goes around 300 miles, but not exactly. To protect the battery, it’s recommended to drive on 20%-80% charge. It’s even better to go with 60%-25%. Most people can easily get by on 35% because that’s basically 100 miles. 80%-20% is basically 200 miles. For road trips, I...

My 1998 C2500 will be running long after my 2021 Ranger and 2026 Tesla Y are dead.

I looked at and wondered about buttons even before I bought the car. I don’t like some of the Ranger’s touch screen / lack of buttons. However, in the Tesla, everything is so automated, I hardly ever make any adjustments. I simply don’t need or miss them. I’m glad I did not purchase add on...

I do have the upgraded stereo. I don’t care if it’s gas, hybrid, or EV. I’m glad it has a decent stereo, but it’s not important to me. What is important, and the only reason I own it, is FSD. My life has changed dramatically over the last 10 months, and even my favorite things are no...

You can add power or manual sliding roof covers. I did, but hardly ever use it. The stereo is good, not great. I do professional audio, so my standards for “great” are pretty high.

I’m not a Musk fan, but I own Starlink and a 2026 Model Y AWD Premium. Here’s why: I searched for years, and spent lots of money to try to get more than 1 down and .3 up internet at home that worked more than 60% of the time. It’s expensive, but now I have working internet. I had a 2016...

2021 Ford Ranger Towing 4800lbs up and down a 17% grade for several miles in mid 80F temps. Stock trans pan at the time with Scan Gauge II. Tranny got hot, but not scary at 230F. I let it cool at the top and headed down. When serviced it later, the fluid looked and smelled fine. This was...

I had a Subaru like that. It got traded on a Corolla. The Subbie was nicer except it didn’t work much. The Corolla was literally 100% reliable.

I still have 2 trucks. I kept my ‘98 Chevy 2500 when I bought my ‘21 Ranger.
