apparently this guy was too important to wait in the left-turn lane like the rest of us …

It runs in your browser, no ads or anything have fun and let me know if you can beat the 7 kickflips I've got here.

You see, it is in fact not legal to do backflips and to fly on public roads, therefore the roadster is pointless and stupid and I am very smart.

No on board compression. It was externally filled with nitrogen.

Why can't people give Elon Musk the credit he deserve? At the same time they will say Steve Jobs is Amazing.

The world richest man, who leads the world's most advanced automobile company, puts time and resources into a sideshow jet propulsion skit that will never ever make anything close to mass production (and honestly why?), while if he put in/added some lidar, paid for accurate sign recognition software (instead of pissing matches with MobileEye) and truly committed to owning the self driving space by working directly with worldwide govt safety agencies, autonomous driving could be a reality across the globe, saving lives and increasing quality of life for millions. Rant over but I''m so tired of cherry frosting instead of a damn decent loaf of bread

Why doesn’t Tesla do this with their Matrix Headlights? Seems like this can be done with a software update. Pretty cool!

Edit: I think some people are missing the point on this video. Your low beams light up the entire road. What you’re seeing in the video is the high beams lighting up a section of road in front of the car. Then when you change lanes those high beams shift to that lane so you can see better.

Assuming the fancy rocket tech actually makes it to production and in the hands of the end-user by 2028.

I’m 6’2 and my wife is 5’. We have our own driver profiles set on our model Y, with easy entry as well. For some reason, the car prefers her phone over mine if I have both in the pocket.

Yesterday, I had both phones in the pocket, got in, and immediately tried to drive away before the seat fully adjusted. To my horror, the car was trying to crush me while driving. Luckily, I noticed the wrong name on the display, and managed to hit the correct profile before anything serious happened.

It’s funny in retrospect, but I got genuinely scared in the moment. So, if you share your car with a short partner, you may wanna mind the keys.

This 2021 Model S was extremely generous gift from family friends for a major life milestone and 6 days later it had to go to the shop. 🫠

I got a notification about the 12v battery not being changed in 5 years and had an appointment for Tuesday but guess the car said “We ain’t waiting!” And decided it wasn’t moving from the charger.

The bright sides: Tesla roadside was amazing, quick and very helpful. Also the issues as covered under warranty with Tesla itself they said and whatever isn’t we got the full extra warranty too but it’s just funny to think not even a full week of enjoyment before this happened. 🤷‍♀️

I still love the car

Update: Tesla says it’s also the main big battery 🪫 🥲 but that’s covered too just stuck without the car for 2-3 weeks

First Tesla. Any recommendations?

E: recommendations for like accessories and stuff like that

I bought a Model S plaid with self-driving paid out in 2023 and after hardware 4 I kind of regretted it. After this Halloween update and FSD 14.3 I'm no longer feeling FOMO.

I wrote a free, ad-less app (i make $0 from it) that reduces local power emissions by charging your car when the grid is in less-demand. www.cleancrib.org; plugs directly into the official Tesla app. Prioritizes your schedule.

You can also find gas plants that may be near you here. There are ~2-3M Teslas on the road. If we all use this, we can make a (super convenient) dent in emissions.

This is easier than installing LED light bulbs, and costs nothing. Probably saves money as well, but it's optimized for pollution.
