As a Tesla owner everyone else getting supercharger access sucks. The few times I have used a supercharger they are near full or full....and a line of people waiting. They need to start building more....
they are building more. the whole reason they gave everyone access was to access billions in government funds to build a lot more of them
Where are you at? This is very regional based though, that road trip I just did from Raleigh, NC to Blue Ridge, GA I saw only one other Tesla at a super charger out of 6 different stops.
I'm happy as a pig in shit with my ID.4 but I've never used anything but my home charger and I live on the CA coast where it never gets below freezing
Rivian is having an end of quarter push and a bunch of Standard and Standard + R1S came out on the shop. Had one I wanted to pull the trigger on, but was gone fast. A few have been under the 80k threshold for the tax credit also. Part of the reason is they put a pause on configurations while upgrading the manufacturing plant.
And they will start shipping out NACS adapters in April based on when you got the Rivian. Had a demo drive yesterday and learned that piece.
Would expect the R1s will get a refresh soon adding some of the features planned for the R2. Think a lot of people are waiting so Rivian is going to start slashing
Audi version of the Macan. Looks great and mediocre range and no heat pump are the biggest issues with the Q4 so love seeing both of those fixed here. Giant screens too
android automotive not auto, it’s the OS used for the car. CarPlay still works on top of android automotive

Got the email last night from Tesla, full trial until the end of April. Out of town this weekend using my wife's car. Going to try it out tomorrow when we get home.
It’s cool that the those of us that don’t want to participate in a beta test still get to risk our lives by sharing the road.
Is this good? The Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation over a year ago after more than a dozen crashes happened while Tesla's Autopilot software was engaged. The NHTSA reviewed 956 crashes for which Autopilot was alleged to have been in use.Dec 18, 2023
How many of us have a line in our wills to be sure someone reports here after a Tesla kills us to report the cause of death? I’ve always assumed that Elon was behind the demise of all former posters.
Have done about 350 miles on FSD since Friday. Mix of interstate highway and very urban city driving. Have intervened three or four times. It’s absolutely incredible. Not perfect yet, but incredible. Just a matter of when, not if.
I got home today and took my Y on FSD out to Starbucks, I loved it. I had to intervene entering and exiting my neighborhood, FSD didn't seem to recognize the gate barrier and attempted to accelerate through it. Otherwise, I had a blast.
Our is like this one. To be fair to FSD, there's a weird curve in the road right before it and I'm not sure the cameras could clearly see it. It may have slowed and stopped but I decided to take back the wheel.
yeah… but considering they can mount sensors anywhere on the vehicle including places you physically can’t see and all the places you definitely can, isn’t that a major problem?
I agree with this. I know people want to shit on Musk and I get it, he fucking sucks but the autonomous stuff Tesla is doing is incredible. It's not near being ready but it's incredible what it can do and 100% believe this will be the future...one day. Highway driving is damn near perfect though, did a 4 hour drive using it pretty much the entire drive. I'm not shelling out $10,000 for this though, if it was like $2K I'd give it some thought.
I don't understand how you can possibly get comfortable if you have to occasionally intervene...I'd be so on edge that I might as well be driving
