> 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.

The first point is VERY valid. There are tons of stories of people waiting weeks for a simple door repair. The second one is kinda whatever. I don't actually fear they will go out of business. But neither do I have infinite confidence in their business model.

> There are tons of stories of people waiting weeks for a simple door repair.

Once again, tons imply that it’s the majority. Unless you have actual verifiable data to cite, you’re just operating on opinionated data.

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.

The one time I took my Model X on a road trip (before I sold it and bought a PHEV), one of the stops was in Lima, Montana. The greasy spoon restaurant in that dirt parking lot was... an experience.

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.

My comment is based on my interpretation of the original point.

But I feel like you're pointlessly nitpicking, which is against the hn rules, so please read those.

I was really excited for a minute there hoping that they finally fixed the "autoplay media on the phone on opening the door" bug that plagued the car since its launch. But no such luck.

Right unless you routinely go on 500+ mile trips with a longer range Tesla or 400+ mile trips with the shorter range models there is no need for a gas car. I road trip a decent amount but I've released 4-5 hour drives aren't really an issue. And of course those trips are possible you'd just need to stop 1-3 times for 10-15 mins (you charge faster at lower batter % vs fill up more range once). Now if you want to go 2x…

I thought that, too, but I have taken a couple of longer (800 mile or so) trips in the Tesla and was pleasantly surprised. I thought the 'charge for 30 minutes' at a supercharger was going to seem like a lot of waiting, but by the time we unloaded the kids out of the car, went to the bathroom, etc, the car was already charged. Being forced to stop every couple of hundred miles was really not that bad. Broke up the tr…

100%. Tesla is THE car for long roadtrips in the US and the narrative otherwise needs to stop.

CURRENT Superchargers charge up to 600 miles per hour. COMPLETELY dead to COMPLETELY full is like 30 minutes. But most stops to charge will only last long enough for you to pee and grab a red bull

NEW superchargers charge up to 1000 miles per hour. Do the math. You're going to have to start jogging if you want your redbull before idle fee's kick in.

Combine that with autopilot. I took a trip in a gas rental car recently and HATED it. Tesla for roadtrips for sure.

Really excited to finally get Spotify integration, that's huge. Also hoping they install WiFi at superchargers so you can watch youtube/Netflix while charging there. Not sure where else I'd use that feature.

Is there coffee at Superchargers?

FYI for Tesla owners in Cali; if you're taking the trip between NorCal and SoCal, make a stop at the Kettleman City supercharger. It's massive, and you get access to a private lounge, espresso bar, air conditioning, nice bathrooms, and even a small play area for little kids.

(Just don't use the vending machines there; got some expired snacks :/)

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.

Owner of a Tesla model 3. Summon is the canary in the coal mine. As in, unless it shows signs of life then the fairy tale of self driving cars is just that, a fairy tale. If they cannot get a safe an accurate summon to work why should I ever believe my car will ever drive on its own. Do I believe it will come, not for years. My car cannot even identify a speed limit sign, maybe version 10 will help on that. I doubt i…

Well, I would hope the engineers working on Netflix and Caraoke aren't the ones who are working on self-driving features. They seem like different enough things that they could be worked on simultaneously. Full self-driving is a long time away anyway, and while we wait for that, features like this help cope with not having full self-driving and differentiating the car in the market.

Traffic rules don't just magically go away just because you enter a parking lot. edit: the parent comment edited his comment to include "no right way", which I'd like to address: it is very common (at least in every America city I've ever been to) for parking lots to have lanes that are very clearly marked for only one-way travel. These lanes, like the one shown in the video, are typically only wide enough for one ca…

Legally, they kind of do.

Depends on jurisdiction. In my province, our Motor Vehicle Act defines all its regular road rules as rules of the “highway” and it treats publicly accessible parking lots as highways.

“"highway" includes ... every private place or passageway to which the public, for the purpose of the parking or servicing of vehicles, has access or is invited”
