Yes, but will BC tell you to “put your hands on the wheel” when the weight makes the car think your hands are already on the wheel?

Oof that isn’t a pretty sight. Definitely the first Mach E fire I have heard of. Anyone speak polish to translate? Curious what the cause was.

I thought a little more about your devils advocate argument and think you nailed it for why specifically not to use it on the Mach E. While I was arguing against all cars in general, the Mach E is a special case. Why? Because the eye nanny doesn’t work safely by itself. It works in conjunction...

Even though it’s a more specific example, that would just pile on for reasons not to use it- no distinction on when it is really safe to use. I can play devils advocate as well- you’re arguing that you can use this product safely. And honestly, yeah, if you’re paying attention, hands at the...

Seems you’re choosing to ignore the legality aspect too. See how that turns out if you get into a wreck or get pulled over. When the NHTSA bans a product as “unsafe,” it’s pretty easy for an officer to give you a reckless driving ticket when you use the unsafe product. You think it’s just...

We are arguing about “wise and stupid.” And if you think that bypassing safety equipment and using products that the government has outlawed the sale and distribution of is “wise,” then I think we will just have to agree to disagree. I don’t mind articulating why it’s stupid. It’s pretty...

Yup, that’s a good idea, until your car won’t turn on and you don’t have your phone or your battery is dead. Again, the reason for an analog solution.

Not legal- https://money.cnn.com/2018/06/19/technology/tesla-autopilot-buddy-dangerous/index.html https://www.thatteslachannel.com/the-tesla-autopilot-hack-that-could-land-you-in-jail/ And even if it were, there are plenty of “legal AND stupid” things. Those two things aren’t mutually...

Would there be a way to make it so it could be installed permanently? If I drop my car at a tire shop or the dealer, it’s not like I’m standing there to hand these to them when they lift it. Would definitely prefer to “set it and forget it” if possible. Another suggestion- include stickers...

What’s next? People buying a real spare tire to replace our “perfectly fine” virtual spare tire?

Yeah, it was a stretch, more of a joke, to prove a point how stupid it is to use the weights to bypass safety equipment. While you are at it, you can remove your seatbelt and crawl in the back seat. Make sure to video it, post it online, and read the comments section...

You could put a brick on the gas pedal of any car without cruise control to create your own cruise control too! It’s about as wise as the weight on the steering wheel. Just ask this guy- https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-driver-asleep-wheel-car-reached-70-mph-autopilot-times-2022-12?amp

Only real way to see if it’s “normal” is to drive another Mach E. The problem you’re facing with your dealer isn’t surprising. They can only fix a “noise” if something is broken. If nothing broken, nothing to fix. The biggest reason why noise is an issue is the car is so quiet. Throw a v8...

I want to disagree, but then I think I’ll end up stuck somewhere out of cell service and trying to remember where the jack points are or how to pop that cover off the bumper and what exactly those wires do. At that point I would probably pay many multiples of that $ amount. Computers are...

I thought about typing to agree with you, but my Chinese made iPhone keeps autocorrecting to disagree. Sorry, I tried.🤷‍♂️

Yes, your only option is to go to the dealer to have them fix it. I’m kinda shocked you’ve waited this long. I can only assume you’re either extremely patient or don’t really care about having BC.

Check out this thread about lifting springs. Probably exactly what you would want- https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/does-this-make-me-the-first-lifted-mach-e.28289/

I dunno, maybe because any thread with the word “Tesla” in it alerts the AI bots to come in and defend the overlord? I think off topic was the lesser evil vs bumping those several year old threads. Nobody makes it to page 74 of this thread anyways.

My goodness, you keep making the same straw man argument. This has nothing to do with a 70 mph cruise test. It’s ONLY about the EPA test. I’ve posted this multiple times, but you keep ignoring this FACT- It’s all about the correction factor. Here is yet another article explaining it-...

Big “if” of course. I don’t see a big 3 row SUV getting 3.5 mi/kWh on an EPA test though. Unless it’s not really a big 3 row and more like the Y.
