Next week I have a 30-hour layover in midtown Manhattan (theatre district). Freedom Tower is a four or five mile walk, or a thirty minute subway ride away from our layover hotel. I’m thinking about heading down since I’ve never been. You’re right - all of us who were already alive and above...

Congratulations!

Better than a Cayenne? That’s saying a lot, having driven my sister-in-law’s. Hers isn’t the turbo model either, but I remember it being a lot of fun to drive. Not such a chore.

Yes. I’m interested in this aspect too. Will the Gravity be as engaging to drive as my Air? I really hope so. Our first Tesla was a Model S. The Model X we purchased a year later was such a come down, as far driving experience is concerned. I’m driving it around right now, but I’m not...

It always interests me how we all want different things. For my part I’m continuing to take serious look at the Gravity exactly because of its seven-seat capacity, which we lost when we gave up our Honda Odyssey minivan, and replaced it with our six-seat Model X instead. The mid-row...

That’s a really nice touch. I remember in the “early days”, before the delivery of GTs really began, some of us were lucky enough to get a box of draftsman pencils.

Yes, Yes, and Yes. It can’t hurt to get another estimate, most especially if you feel you’ve witnessed “padding” by the estimator. That’s something you should probably tell your insurance company and Lucid. I chose not to hover over the estimator when it came to getting my car inspected...

I see that they also removed the overhead grab handles. I wonder why.

We have had FSD in our July-2018 build Tesla Model X since almost FSD’s first release in about early 2020. Back then, I was both impressed and terrified by it. I also remember it being very, very raw in execution. Today, I turned on FSD on San Diego’s city streets, something I had not done...

Sounds like an update to avoid. Another EV manufacturer had “updates-to-avoid” for a while, quite a number of them, especially during the early days. It’s inevitable that they’ll happen here too.

About degradation - Is there a place online where that kind of data is posted? Tesla owners even today, simply obsess about battery degradation. For example here’s something I contributed to tmc.com several months ago - “Model X100D, July 2018 build. Rated range brand new, 295 miles. Rated...

I’m afraid that ship has already sailed, losing a ton on our Airs, that is. Nothing left to do now but drive it like you stole it. Everytime.

Hey, @hydbob. Does this design require any kind of “carpentry”? As is, is the hook in the back long enough to hook around a vane in the air vent? Also the air vents in the Air are quite deeply recessed, and the top lip of the dashboard fascia gets in the way, on many designs.

I can’t get past the fact that you paid only $90K. I’m glad your car is fixed now though.

Yes, but you have the Dream Edition. I have the lowly Grand Touring ,with not only a slightly smaller battery but different chemistry too. I don’t believe my battery can take on a charge as quickly or as efficiently as yours can. Of course we’re talkin’ a difference of only several minutes in...

I opened the link to the C&D road test of the 2022 Air GT. “300 miles in 21 minutes” of DC fast charging my a$$. Just this morning I had to use the nearest operational EA station in my neigbhourhood (which put me within a quarter mile of Tijuana, BC Mexico. I was in San Ysidro). For some...

Reviving a dormant thread. So, exactly where is this camera located, that my steering wheel is blocking?

Lucky you! I’m envious. The first thing I would have checked out would have been the height of the stepover into the vehicle (my dad, god bless him, is 93 years old). The second thing would have been the third row.

I remember buying copies of “CAR” back when I was a teenager in the 70s. Back in those days the magazine itself was printed on newsprint instead of glossy paper. I couldn’t afford a subscription as such in those days, so I’d content myself with buying an occasional copy at our local “news...
