AI seems to Think that MAD MAX is in our future. Does it know something we don't?

I was being sarcastic.

Maybe they'll come out with an OTA fix like Ford.

Soon they'll have you sacrificing a chicken to the OTA Gods while chanting "Tesla Bad"

you got lucky, others got the SVS, then shortly afterwards got the SSN message. I depend on my car, I wouldn't feel comfortable rolling the dice with SVS message.

in their defense, they throw in green colored caps.

Run away. They are fleecing you. There are lots of MME on dealer lots now. Reports of people getting some discounts off MSRP are starting to show up. Which dealer is this? They need to be publicly shamed for being dishonest.

I'm less concern about the HVBJB out of warranty. At least there is a known fix. Worst case scenario is that you're out 3k to fix it. I'm more worried about all the electrical gremlins in the software where there are no known fix. Or new ones that pop up out of warranty.

Back in the 80's I took my friend's key so that I could store my tennis racquets in his trunk. Turns out Toyota only had so many keys and it just happened that another car that looked like his was in the parking lot also had the same key. Long story short, the owner got a new set of tennis...

No, but that doesn't mean that it won't change in the future. Things evolve. When there's a better way of doing something, people and company will adapt.

Yes, and the EV landscape is new enough that all EV manufacturers should be mandated to accept one protocol. And since Tesla's system seems to be working well and they have the most stations, I say adopt their protocol. Why re-invent the wheel.

What app and OBD scanner do you use?

So you're telling me that the tesla owner should have to drive 2.5 more miles just to charge at a supercharger station? If that's the case, then other EVs shouldn't use the Superchargers once they're available.

Tesla has their supercharger up and running for 10 years now without a credit card reader. Seems to work really well and seamless. I don't hear any complaints about people not being able to charge. How about we make that the standard and other manufacturer adopt it instead of reinventing the...

Costco does the same thing. As an added bonus, you never lose your receipt. Much more convenient.

It's only going to get worse as more people get EVs. I see fights breaking out in the future.

I don't think so, it beeps at you when I leave the keys in the car or trunk. If left in the trunk, it would refuse to close. You can get around this by using a faraday pouch.

Yikes. I think there are two different issues with the drive mode non-available bug. The common one we see now is probably just a bug from recent OTA updates. However Prior to these OTAs, a few of us got the Drive mode no available notification, but it would also affect the suspension on the...

Good luck with that in California. The State where Gov't knows what's best for you. Where Granger can't sell Ford warranty to Californian at lower cost in order to protect Californians from cheaper rates and getting taken advantage of.

I've been following other EVs also, Was looking at the Taycan and Audi GT, and they had problems with their cars shutting off in the middle of the road. I think VW ID4s also were plagued with problems. The Lucid Air had problems where the car would go in the opposite direction as intended. And...
