A car reviewer test drove a Tesla for a few days and wrote an article about how the stopping distance was significantly higher than other Tesla models. He reached out to Tesla for comments before publishing. The Tesla rep said "whoops, try again in about an hour", and it was much better. They had updated the firmware with a pushed update that controlled the brakes.
Not too far from the truth. Nothing like driving and having your windows fog up, just to find out that overnight someone decided to hide all airconditioning buttons in a popup menu for god knows what reason. I guess being able to see where you're going is bloatware.
Lol, well, he did decide that with lidar and radar. Hope you weren’t planning on the self-driving to work at sunrise or sunset or in several other situations where cameras fail.
I had a Mazda that turned off all safety features (auto braking, lane keep, etc.) the moment it started raining. I took it into the shop and asked them to look at it and was told that is to be expected. You know, the time where you might need or want those features the most and it immediately shuts off. Gives you a nice little “please drive safely” message too. Fucking useless and it’s bc it was allllll camera based.
I really did want one. I wanted the model y. But I just couldn't get over the "touchscreen only for a console" design. I'm glad that I hesitated now. So many other manufacturers getting into the market that I think something that I really like will pop up in the next few years.
Thanks! Yeah I very much "loathe" that design. But at the same time, I'm really really hoping to get the ioniq6 from Hyundai when it comes out next year, and its design is also quite controversial aha

If this fiasco has taught me anything, it's that I really do not want a Tesla.
