Now if they would only deliver mine, 100 days and counting since I ordered it. Price has gone up $5K since I ordered (I'm locked in but can't change anything)... Estimated delivery window: 1/6/22-2/3/22
https://danluu.com/car-safety/ This is a big improvement from 2012, before small overlaps became a KPI for safety.
> Car manufacturers that sell more than 1 million vehicles shall pay $1M per driver, occupant or pedestrian death that occurs involving a car sold by that manufacturer. The payment shall be made irrespective of cause of death, state of maintenance of the car, or fault of any accident.
This gives car manufacturers a direct, ongoing and financial incentive to make cars safer, not just to pass safety tests.
Is it me, or do they appear to be cheating a little on this test...? The test is designed to test the case where a small overlap causes a traditional crumple zone (designed for full frontal collision) to completely crush and intrude into the passenger compartment. Tesla has solved that by causing the car to deform in such a way to bypass the obstacle. But I bet if they did a test with slightly more overlap, but not f…

Insanity. I feel truly lucky to have bought a car in Oct 2020. I dream of selling it for that sweet above-what-I-paid price point... but these stories help sober me up

I'm thankful.
Does anyone know how big of a deal it is to not have radar on newer Tesla 3s and Ys? I don't know which month was the last one to have radar, but it was some time in 2021.
In general for something like this, I'd want the "highest" accolade to also be the most common, but that's just me

Hope you get it soon! I assume its a standard range if its taking that long. Got my performance is less than 30 days.
