Here is what I don't understand: you paid a small fortune for your car and if this was any other car from any other manufacturer you would react like your parent comment. But because it is a Tesla you are dismissing all the issues and sell it as the best car ever. This wouldn't fly with any other car. If you spent 50k$ on a Audi with poor quality you would probably complain about it. It is a pattern I see with nearly…

I've been a Tesla owner for 5 years - currently have a P85+ (mine), M3 (wife) and Mercedes GL (family car). Prior to this owned 2 Fords, and 2 Hondas before that. For me personally, I'll take the Tesla any day over any other brand, and my non-techy wife is the same. Hard to explain, but I think it's the overall ownership and driving experience including: - Buying experience is so much more pleasant - set price and no…

Is the P85 a Model S? How on earth do you fit 4 kids and a dog in there? We have 4 kids and a dog too and the rear facing seats made us wait for the X (but it cost too much) and now I’m a Y reservation holder

Look carefully, it isn't going the wrong way: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kennedy+Park+Pl,+Californi... It's just a really bad parking lot design. Regardless, Smart Summon doesn't currently care about things like directionality in a parking lot. This version doesn't try to do anything fancy like reading markings on the pavement. The app will show you on a satellite map the route that the car is planning to go,…

"This version doesn't try to do anything fancy like reading markings on the pavement" Isnt that below minimum viable product for something expected to be used with other people around? "As the person supervising its behavior" I'm sure Uber said the same thing to the drivers on its self driving program. We all know human nature though, it isn't right to abdicate responsibility to someone you know is going to start bli…

You'd be surprised how many actual human beings can't read the markings on the pavement :D

i have an analog vehicle, and the car doesn't need to have to remember my settings because they are physically in the same location.

And what if you share your car with someone who prefers different settings?

Similar to the changing the seat or steering wheel position, except easier to dial it back.

The wipers wipe automatically when the camera detects rain on the windshield. If you want to do a window clean you just push the button on the end of the blinker handle on the left of the steering wheel. It's one of the few physical buttons of the 3.

How well does the auto wipe behave on Tesla’s? I’ve owned multiple cars with the feature over the last 10 years - the only one which has ever got it close was a Lexus (quite some time ago). The rest I’ve had and still need to constantly police.

It's a solved problem on newer cars.

What I want next is an automatic sunscreen that slides down based on sensing the angle of the sunlight. I think there is also technology to dynamically darken glass that could be used. I hereby grant a free perpetual license to auto manufacturers to use this idea. :)

The depth and breadth of anti-Tesla sentiment in HN threads is curious. It's rarely from owners. By all satisfaction surveys, owners love their Teslas.

My Model S came with a 3G connection and everything worked pretty well. Then one time I decided to tether it to my phone. Soon after I got a software update, and I went ahead and applied it. Big mistake. The update not only changed the GUI substantially, but also broke the navigation system and the voice command system. The navigation system now gives two or three instructions and then nothing, it'd still be active a…

Do you think OEM EVs will have better software than an SV EV?

Then they change the settings, and if they're a considerate human being, they change them back. If they're not, then you get to grumble a bit, change them back yourself, and consider not sharing your car with that person again. I don't think the world has lost anything substantial here. Just realized I might be a grumpy old man.

Maybe you always share your car with a partner that's 25 centimeters shorter than you, requiring different settings for seat & steering weel position, and also has a different body composition that makes them want different climate control settings.

It shouldn't be so controversial to claim that automatic adjustment of settings is a net UX win this this common scenario.

2012 Passat and two Priuses (2nd and 3rd gen), all worked 95% of the time.

So 3 minutes of every hour of rain were left unwiped? Sounds dangerous. Or was that "internet statistics"?

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…

> My car cannot even identify a speed limit sign

They still haven't fixed that?

Works almost perfectly in my 2015 Model S with version 1 autopilot.

As an additional feature, yes, not as a replacement. The great thing about actual mirrors is that they don't need power to function and they can be replaced with any other in worst case.

Not needing power is kind of a moot point for an electric car tbh.

I am talking about the points of failure:

Mirror: Glas and attachment to car.

Rear View Camera: display, camera, any of the wiring in between, a few fuses.

If you're not aware, Tesla since the beginning has offered other legacy auto manufacturers unfettered access to the supercharger network if they agree to shoulder the cost. Not a SINGLE one took them up on the offer! https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-elon-musk-open-supe...

No one else will adopt Tesla's standard. You're avoiding the question rather than answering it. CCS charging providers allow Teslas to charge on their networks today. When will Tesla reciprocate and convert to CCS?

The Model 3 in Europe uses CCS and many (perhaps most) of the stations here in Norway already have CCS connectors.
