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

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

https://danluu.com/car-safety/ This is a big improvement from 2012, before small overlaps became a KPI for safety.

Perhaps regulators should take on a different approach...

> 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…

Out of stock is the main headwind for my side project https://app.electrade.app (trying to simplify the EV leasing process). Everything's out of stock. Always.

High gas prices are tailwinds though, so hopefully things will pick up when supply chains catch up. Also, all cars are facing delivery issues, so it's not only EVs :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Could be worse. My buddy ordered a basic trim Jeep Wrangler. Was supposed to get it in September then didn’t hear anything. 2 weeks ago he went to the dealership to find out his order was cancelled by the factory and had to fight his way up 3 levels of managers until they told him and gave him his money back for the deposit.

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

Similar story. Bought a specific car that felt like it was already at the bottom of its depreciation curve October 2020, and nine months later, other dealers offered me 26% more than I paid for it.

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.

It isn't something you'll find out from crash tests. It's easy to make vision based automatic braking work perfectly in highly controlled test conditions. Making it work properly on the road is a whole other matter.

Yes its a long range, they are optimizing for profit where MYP > MYLR and if your car has Full Self Driving (+$10K margin basically) they seem to be delivering those first per threads on tesla motors club.
