The other major caveat is that your trips need to not venture far from the interstate. I was interested in a Tesla, but my frequent camping trips in Rainier make it impossible for the moment.

Check out RV connections at campgrounds, if you haven't already. They're not as fast as Superchargers, but overnight you can easily go from empty to full. Looking at Plugshare.com, I see a bunch of level 2 chargers to the north-northwest of Mt. Rainier.

I strongly prefer to camp in the NF right outside the park or in the park itself, so that rules out the RV campgrounds. I think the L2 stuff you're seeing is in the Seattle metro, there's nothing near Rainier. I'm coming from Portland, so it'd be way out of my way to go to Seattle.

Disclaimer: Model S owner since 2013 In my experience, Superchargers are ALWAYS near 1) coffee, 2) food, 3) bathrooms.

Although sometimes the food is limited to Carl's Jr.

Fair enough, sometimes the food selection is limited to fast food or fast-food-like.

CDN costs must be negligible compared to the cost of managing that.

Potentially the expensive cost they would mitigate is the mobile data

I think it only upgrades over WiFi? I remember someone complaining that it was difficult to upgrade because of network issues.

Is there a specific reason why Tesla refuses to integrate CarPlay or Android Auto?

Could be related to what mentioned here (Volkswagen explaining why it's developing its own SW): https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/09/volkswagen-audi-porsche... But really be careful how much Android you're talking about. There are some brands really using Google's automotive services; this is not our strategy. When you do this, you get a great package of function and services, no doubt. But you also have to open up a…

I think you may be confusing Android Auto with Android for Cars. The former is the mobile app and headunit-only integration (audio controls) via video stream, which requires minimal integration with the vehicle. The other is Android repurposed for headunits, with full car integration, such as Volvo's integration.

Car manufacturers of luxury cars shy away from Android Auto partially because they believe it turns one of their main selling points and silos (advanced technology) into yet another commodity.

I'm not OP but I've read a lot of long wait time for body repair & parts posts over in /r/teslamotors. Tends to be an issue that has slowly been getting better. For example: - https://old.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/byc1gt/im_abso... - https://old.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/8nqh2b/i_got_r... - https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/ae1goq/waiting... - https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/…

Your first link was for a NEMA 14-50 adapter and Wall charger order on the Tesla online shop and is not a car part? Which supports what I said regarding lackluster customer service. I'm not disputing that. The last 4 examples are ALL collisions/accidents that involves many parts and a ton of body/structural work... OPs claim was "1 month+ for basic replacement parts to arrive"

I mean, alright, but a five month wait time for a repair after an accident is completely unacceptable. Just because "basic replacement parts" might not be totally accurate, the spirit of the claim absolutely is.

This is why I am a Tesla fanboy (although somewhat begrudgingly due to Elon's recent antics). They have made car ownership such a joyous experience. I am eagerly waiting to download this and go to town

Is it a joyous experience when you have to wait 1 month+ for basic replacement parts to arrive? How about when your consumer grade touch panel dies from heat and vibration?

Don't know, my experience has directly contradicted this popular narrative. I think, perhaps, these experiences are less frequent than public outlets suggest.

Android Auto is very underwhelming. I don't even bother, since it requires you to plug in your phone via USB. After having a wireless charger in the car and at home, I never want to have to mess with a cord again.

That's funny, I didn't realize Android Auto wouldn't work in a Tesla, and now I am very hesitant to buy one. It works perfectly on my wife's car, I can use whatever apps I want (eg. PocketCasts, Spotify, Plex) and the integration with the other aspects of the car is seamless. Teslas are just now getting Spotify?!?! That's exactly the sort of thing I would expect with an in-house system, and exactly why I would want t…

They are such bad reasons to rule out a car that you seem to have very little idea about.

Legally, they kind of do.

Not true. Depending on the state, many laws still apply, including: - Accessible Parking - Unlicensed driving (for example, shared private spaces such as parking lots) - Drunk driving

Some stay around. Others don't.

So your statement does not invalidate the original point.

What is a basic part? My seat rocker broke and I walked into a service center and bought a new one for 2 USD.

What's a seat rocker? Google is turning up household furniture.

I believe its the button on the side of the chair to adjust it

Wait what.. you're encouraging drivers to look at the entertainment panel to read song lyrics? While they're driving?
