> I'd get one if I didn't have crushing doubt about their ability to service their cars. Or stay in business long-term. Are you serious? That false narrative fueled by FUD has been the talking point by short-sellers since 2008 (Only Tesla and Ford survived the 2008 market crash btw). It's now 2019 and you would think people would know any better.

Huh?, 2008 they were not in survival mode. There wasn't anything there for Tesla to crash. Tesla now operates in Billions of dollars. A 10% miss in sales results in Billions in losses.

that makes no sense

like you said in 2008 there wasn't anything there. They lose millions the whole company dies

now Tesla operates in billions of dollars. They lose billions it's still only 10%

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

Ahh, yes. The joys of commodity fetishism.

Is this memeified announce video typical for official Tesla marketing? It’s so casual it is hard to take seriously. Tesla is not your father’s car.

Interesting that you call this memeified: it seems par for the course for present day marketing videos and it doesn't faze me. Then again, I am not my father.

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?

I don’t know why this comment is getting downvoted. While I generally love Tesla, I recently had a wheel alignment issue that literally no other car repair shop could handle except for Tesla’s and I had to wait almost a month for an appointment while my tires continued to unevenly wear. They are apparently currently in the “support hell” phase of growth... They’ll get past it

> I don’t know why this comment is getting downvoted.

I guess that it's because it doesn't relate to the context/spirit of the parent comment.

Is there coffee at Superchargers?

I don't know if this is a serious question. The superchargers in my area are in the parking lot of grocery stores in which coffee shops are present.

It was, and thanks!

Legally, they kind of do.

Realistically, if you drive the wrong way down a one lane road in a parking lot there's a good chance you're going to get stuck because someone else will be driving the right way. It's not... good?

Exactly. It's not so much a legal thing (note the use of "rules" vs "laws" in my earlier comment) as much as it is a practical thing. If you're a Tesla owner, it's not going to be a good experience if using Smart Summon results in your car getting stuck in a one-way lane. If you're the driver of a car that ends up face-to-face with a driverless Tesla that is going the wrong way, it's also going to be a bad experience. And if the Tesla does somehow get in a collision, I think you would have a hard time coming up with an excuse to your insurance company as to why your car was going against established traffic flow.

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

It's really baffling. The CarPlay experience in our Volkswagen is so good I cannot imagine ever going back to an automaker's in-house system. Even the ones in the luxury cars I've had -- BMW, Mercedes -- have been absolute crap compared to CarPlay. I don't even care that it requires USB.

I have used and liked CarPlay and was put off by tesl not having it... until I tried Tesla’s. CarPlay is essential for routing around the horrible crap put out by most carmakers but the Tesla ui is awesome. It’s big, it’s fast, and it’s 100% focused on automotive use. I’d still like the option, but I can’t say I miss it.

"Those using Smart Summon must remain responsible for the car and monitor it and its surroundings at all times. " Does this come with an "oh god, stop!" button of some sort?

Does smart summon have a mechanism to avoid sleeping pets (or children) lying under the wheel base? Is that just the 'operator's responsibility?

Perhaps to capture both iOS and android users. On an aside isn’t it just silly that you, your partner and car Choice have to coordinate Android / google

Bit of a bad look that the video clip showing Smart Summon shows the Tesla driving the wrong direction down a one-way lane... This might be a situation where Tesla Smart Summon works only when Tesla's are still rare. In areas where they are more common, I imagine a traffic jam of confused driverless Teslas trying to move past each other but get stuck in a small lane like the one in the video.

I would like to see how a street full of all Teslas manage to avoid each other, or plow into each other. A sort of AI driven automotive musical chairs.
