You can get around it by disconnecting the Internet during setup

Isn’t Miracast an adhoc wifi network as opposed to simply connecting to an established WiFi network?

Fairly certain the statistic requires fsd to have been disabled for 10s before or is counted as human-caused

If you read the article it is different. This relies on physically bringing connections to gain root access to the file system.

It’s also unlikely Tesla can’t just watch for modified files and update them everytime the car goes into drive or something. They probably won’t do it, but to claim it’s impossible is just disingenuous

One thing to note is you didn’t notice a range difference based on speed because you’re dealing with larger numbers in terms all around, but you definitely had the same efficiency loss in percent when going faster

Except that is really falsifiable. I pull data with TeslaFi and there’s definitely no shenanigans being done.

The simplest explanation is that it’s impossible to say (miles left) when you consume significantly more power going faster, going uphill, on a very hot day, etc. So they just go with the epa estimate based on your % state of charge and that’s it.

If you want detailed info the car will quickly give it to you and consider all those factors if you put in a destination

You can display percent instead of rated miles

But it’s addressing the same thing, no? The number it displays is the epa range and any state of charge. I prefer to just show a percentage but either way it’s understood to be an estimate. If you want a true value just enter a destination (you can do a multi leg trip as well)

Also this article is so vague it’s almost useless. I highly doubt this team was just straight up closing service tickets; so more than likely they trained a single team on the talking points of the display number vs real world and thus improved efficiency with service tickets. The article even admits the cars didn’t need any actual service

I said it in another reply but it’s not unlike a phone telling you it has 12 hours remaining, but then you play a graphically intense game and it dies in 2. The margins are much smaller here but the point is still valid

I’ve had many legs of a trip where we get there under 10%

I also pull data from via a third party app and the historical data confirms the numbers aren’t just made up

Everyone wants to hate on it but it really is a pleasant experience and the only complaint is it doesn’t give you an accurate estimate of miles on the main screen when that is literally impossible without a destination in mind.

Think about it your phone would tell you it had 12 hours of battery left then you played an intense game and it dies in 2 hours… It’s a very similar issue

Counterpoint: Ive taken numerous road trips in both of our family’s Tesla (Tesli?) as well as a couple loaners, and the built in navigation is always spot on with the estimates. Like it’s eerie how it can predict within a percentage point on a 2 hour or more drive within the first 10 minutes of a trip.

Range anxiety really is only experienced by those that it doesn’t affect (i.e. potential buyers)

IIRC that was one of the catastrophic events in sim city. Microwave power plant had a chance for the angle to get messed up and essentially laser tornado lines of your city
