RE: Did I Make A Mistake? An Honest Review After Four Months of Tesla Ownership

in #tesla3 years ago

I can imagine that range anxiety being a thing. When I have had a phone with a below par battery that barely makes a dayo have always felt stressed at the thought of it running out never mind being a method of transport which you would be stranded if that happened!

Software glitches are a number because they are so hard to pin down the more connect anything gets.

Still no matter what you will be the envy of all when you whisper past!

Sort:  

It really is a thing, especially at first. The tech in the car is very apt at making sure you don't run out of range though. It even takes into account windspeed and hills along your route when you use navigation.

The glitches can be a little concerning. There are also so many settings in the UI that you as the driver might not fully understand. I changed a setting that was supposed to allow unlocking of all the doors with a double press of the interior driver's door button. I didn't understand that this kept all the doors but the driver's locked when you approach the car. This was minor but they didn't fully explain the feature in the software release notes.

Lol, I've noticed children, especially, are fascinated by this car. It also attracts not so great attention from adults due to Elon's recent political leanings.

I actually was wondering about this, ever since Milano apparently returned her Tesla. Lol! People are so changeable. I made the mistake of suggesting in a comment that he's an actor whose current role is to gain the trust of the right, pointing out he was the sweetheart of the left not so long ago. They Came for me, whew! He's apparently the replacement Trump, and by suggesting he's anything but pure I am a Bot, a Libtard, a Gaslighter etc. 😆

This was a great review! Thanks for the update :)

OMG, @dreemit, along these same lines I decided to "boost" a post on my Facebook author page with a link to this blog. Meta claims to be able to pick an "ideal" demographic to show the post to. I paid $10 (which I hardly ever do) to run the ad campaign. Meta's algorithms then determined that users in the most anti-EV states should see the "ad". I definitely got engagement.

What ensued in the comments section was the one of the most unbelievable displays of ignorance and disinformation I've seen in my life. They began insulting my intelligence for buying a Tesla and when I didn't take the bait and argue back then they started fighting amongst themselves. I did just start responding with links to research that proved each of their points wrong. One guy said, "Teslas are a ticking time bomb!" my response was "Dude, you do realize ICE vehicles are actually rolling bombs propelled by controlled explosions?" Lol. It got so bad a deleted the post because I didn't want that kind of negativity on my page. This all gave me a huge appreciation for Hive. Mainstream social media has definitely made us worse as a society. Thank you! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

Crikey. I never thought about Elon's latest antics translating into negativity about the brand!

I did read that the woman in charge of Space X was keen to reassure people that Elon wasn't the one in charge there. He is really doing himself no favours.

That's the thing with cars as well, looking at the release notes is not something people are the keenest to do but if they do they have to be dashed clear!

It's weird because a lot of conservatives who drive big diesel trucks used to rage on Teslas (search "rolling coal on Teslas" on YouTube). But now you get the "stink eye" from liberals when you drive down the road.

I'll be making sure I fully understand new features before messing with any of the settings! Hope you're having a good week. Can you believe it's nearly Christmas?

I can't believe it is zooming towards us!!! I am ready for it in mind and body!

Yeah, that's unfortunate. You will be getting the stink eye from all sides now 🤣

Yes! Thankfully the days start to get longer in a week or so.

306 degree stink eye for me! Lol.

Just know all guys that drive big diesel trucks dont rage on Teslas. One new ones like mine they make us use DEF (Diesel exhaust fluid) and we cant roll coal even if we wanted to LOL. 😊

Lol, 100%, most people who drive diesel trucks are fine.
