I challenge you to go to the teslamotorsclub.com forums or Reddit and poll ACTUAL users. You will quickly find that this is NOT the majority. I frequent those forums and most users are very satisfied with their cars.

most car owners don't wrench on their own car, statistically speaking. for those of us that do, Tesla does a lot of self-defeating with the way they handle repair and service. fyi: all car forums are filled with negative experiences with that specific car. The people usually go to forums to try to find help, not to espouse the greatness of their investment.

Investments don’t normally depreciate 20% immediately after purchase.

My hope is that now that Spotify is available to Americans (where the people who develop the software are) the integration will no longer be total garbage. The Spotify integration in v9 is so non-functional for me that I just use Bluetooth.

I'm a little confused; Spotify has been available in the US since 2011.

They are talking about Spotify being integrated into the Tesla infotainment system. It was previously available in some countries, but it wasn't available in the US probably due to an exclusivity agreement with Slacker Radio. You could always listen to Spotify from your phone app connected to the stereo through Bluetooth, but part of this announcement is a native integration with Spotify for Teslas in the US.

Which car and what forums? Care to post some links that are at least more than a week old?

Not true! There are a ton of bad experiences with lackluster customer service. I myself experienced it an posted it at teslamotorsclub.com (Tesla ended up making it right!). So I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion.

You hope the car relies on continuous signal from the phone to proceed. It's certainly possible that the phone freezes in a way that the "keep going" signal continues to be sent, but it's probably not the more likely failure mode. Definitely a good thing to be concerned about!

I may be just a bad developer but my first thought when I see or build a new feature for anything is "how could this go wrong, and who will it kill if it does?" Thankfully, I don't make self driving vehicles, so the second question is usually at worst a handful.

That sounds exactly how a good engineer would think...

False narrative? The "narrative" is their financial data. The fact that there is so much capital floating around to keep bad businesses afloat doesn't make them good businesses. I'm sure the shady silicon valley dealings are isolated to WeWork, even though Tesla is being sued for similar self-dealing. Good luck!

Holy shit! The lies that you have put

Tesla's Q2 Gross Profit was 900 million with a Gross profit of -170 Million.

Where did you get the 25B Gross Profit from?

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

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.

Both CarPlay and Android Auto support wireless connectivity.

The supposed use case described here is a parking lot also, where there will be lots of pedestrians darting between cars.

This might work out ok at low speed. The algorithm is simply "Don't hit anything. Stop if confused."

Seeing as the video shows the car driving the wrong way down a one way street in the parking lot, I'm not so sure.

As strange as it is to a pedestrian such as myself, sitting in parking lots with the climate set to your liking, the doors locked, and a media on the screen, seems to be an increasingly popular past-time. I personally don't understand it, but cars selling to this use-case are seemingly more successful than cars that don't, and these parking lot homebodies are popping up more and more.

One place where I can see this as a being useful is to give people something to do while they're waiting for their car to charge.

Which is exactly why they are installing Wi-Fi at Supercharger stations.

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.

Spotify is a Swedish company. Are its developers really mostly in the US?

Imagine describing sitting in a parking lot watching YouTube in your car a "joyous experience".

I imagine a lot gig economy workers sit in their car between orders. What else are you going to do between uber rides? You either listen to something, watch something, or read a book. Maybe you are seeing some of those?
