  • Robotaxi Drives Double the Speed Limit, Hits Speed Bumps at Full Speed… Tesla Influencers Describe It as “Excellent.”

  • Not surprising to anyone that ever driven a Tesla, or other brand car really. The speed sign detection only works about 90% of the time, which is fine if you are in control, but for self driving? Had the same with BMW, Mercedes, Renault, Honda. None of the cars I've driven over the past years were close to 100% correct with reading signage.

  • Me, my friends, my colleagues are the target audience for Model 3/Y's. I drive a Model 3 and some colleagues do as well. Pretty much all of them and myself say the same thing: The cars top the list in terms of value versus price and has the features we want and need, but we will not buy or (company) lease a Tesla (again) due to the nazi in charge. Simple as that.

    At this point, people don't even take Tesla's into consideration anymore due to the nazi. So I would say that's far worse than the competition with BYD.

  • Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day

  • Depends on how far you live from the city I guess, where I live it's 2 hours to major cities. But anyways, 1 hr wait to get somewhere doesn't feel desirable to me. It just doesn't provide enough coverage to fully replace a car.

  • Public transport systems are just part of a mobility solution, but it isn't viable to have that everywhere. Heck, even here in The Netherlands, a country the size of a post stamp, public transport doesn't work outside of the major cities. So basically, outside of the cities, we are also relying on cars.

    Therefore, I do believe there will be a place for autonomous driving in the future of mobility and that it has the potential to reduce number of accidents, traffic jams and parking problems while increasing the average speed we drive around with.

    The only thing that has me a bit worried is Tesla's approach to autonomous driving, fully relying on the camera system. Somehow, Musk believes a camera system is superior to human vision, while it's not. I drive a Tesla (yeah, I know) and if the conditions aren't perfect, the car disables "safety' features, like lane assist. For instance when it's raining heavily or when the sun is shining directly into the camera lenses. This must be a key reason in choosing Austin for the demo/rollout.

    Meanwhile, we see what other manufacturers use and how they are progressing. For instance, BMW and Mercedes are doing well with their systems, which are a blend of cameras and sensors. To me, that does seem like the way to go to introduce autonomous driving safely.

  • Americans seem to overestimate how big Amazon is here in Europe. Most people I know rarely buy anything off Amazon, a couple have Amazon Prime to watch content on, but that's mostly it.

  • I know it's probably not you. But I don't understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn't add up, because I don't think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.

  • One of the first movers, so many chat groups are still on there and it's very difficult to make people move. Many people simply don't care about privacy, ads, user experience and what not, they just want the convenience of staying in the chat groups they are already in. A shame really.

  • Amid its worst ever crisis, Tesla offers discounts on its best-selling car just weeks after new Model Y launch

    Jump

  • That's simply not true, the last couple of years quality is up massively. The highland Model 3 is fine really, sure there are some things Tesla could've done better, but that goes for most manufacturers. I drive one and I haven't had any big issues, I do have some annoyances though, but there are also things the car does way better than its competition. People also seem to forget that Tesla was pushing out over the air feature updates while VW was manually updating their ID3 range on the parking lot in the docks.

    The Model 3 and Y in its current state, at its prices before these wild discounts and 0% financing, is objectively a very competitive car and would probably made the top 3 list in every country in 2025 and possibly 2026. Let me put it differently, if Ford sold the Model 3 and Y, it would outsell any other vehicle on the planet. The only reason the Model Y will not be the best selling car this year is Musk and by extension the direction the US took with the elections. At least here in Europe, people don't really want to buy a Nazi symbol of a car. And frankly, if I could get rid of mine today, I would, not because the car is bad, but because of the Nazi in charge.
