But we already have plenty of words for that. When we start using a word to be over dramatic to describe a common situation, and use the word in a way that's essentially meaningless because it would apply to a flat tire, then why not stick to words that represent the actual situation? Bricked...

The problem is that it leaves not word for bricked in the classic sense. It becomes like gridlock. So many people use it to mean heavy traffic, which has nothing to do with grids or anything being "locked" that there's no longer a meaningful word for gridlock.

That's generally true, but I have had it try to force me back when I got too close to the line, or possibly on it. I'd rather not have it just as a warning. I have not found it aggressive, and it was only a problem in this specific circumstance.

It seems slow when you first get a car with the original one. You might get used to a lot of it over time, but some things such as changing profiles or rebooting aren't something you get used to. Even if you are used to it, the responsiveness feels like an improvement. For some people, day to...

Before I bought my car, I noticed some used ones, but they didn't have all the features I wanted. I asked the folks in the Newark showroom, and although they clearly wanted me to buy a new car, they also recognized that people will buy used cars, and that used cars sitting unsold is bad for...

Aside from installation, download and other things, there's not much talk about the update itself. I found that it did a good job with a lot of things, including ones that weren't explicitly mentioned. Things were considerably better for me after the prior update that added hands free, before...

I also have a Ruby. She keeps company with Esmeralda and Sterling Grayson. If I had a blue car, I'd probably name it 青い. For those who don't name their cars, it might be an issue once your app shows multiple cars.

Speaking of motorcycles, lane splitting is common where I live. If I hug the left because I see a motorcycle coming between lanes, the car might try to center me if it thinks I'm drifting out of my lane. It looks like it doesn't check things the way it would if it were actually changing lanes...

With the hardware upgrade, you get something faster and more responsive no matter what comes in the future. Rebooting used to take forever. So did switching profiles. And many things were sluggish. This was priced more like a phone upgrade. For less than 1% of the price of the car, I thought it...

My Wi-Fi was off. I don't recall ever turning it off. It might be that I did so because my app won't reliably wake the car when it's on. But it's not reliably waking the car when it's off.

It depends on whether it's something that they hire specific people for with specific backgrounds or whether it's developers who can easily be reassigned to work on other projects. It could also come down to keeping the development team lean until there's more revenue. Regardless, it comes...

In 2014, Tesla disabled the automatic window opening by holding the fob button after some guy opened his windows while sitting on his fob, getting the interior wet when it rained. They could have made it optional but it went away. Within the next few years, they repurposed the button press...

What l would like to know is how robust, on a scale of one to 10, people consider this, using the International Scale of Robustness ⚖️ Spectrum of Robustness (Least → Most) 1. Soap bubble - Delicate, fleeting, collapses at the slightest touch. 2. Paper napkin - Functional but...

That seems to be relevant for HOV lanes. One thing that struck me when I first got a license in CA was that the DMV handbook explicitly stated that crossing a solid white line must be done with extra caution, since it was illegal where I had lived before. I was under the impression that it was...

With the Model S, it's also within an inch. I took my SIL for a ride, and he was in the back seat. When I later told him that it's the same length as a Model S, he was shocked. He thought from being inside it that it was much longer.

I don't know why EVGO chargers were not working, but if it showed that you were half or 3/4 full, you should have been able to drive. A software upgrade won't happen if the charge is below a certain level, and if you had a sufficient charge level before the update, there's no way that an update...

This forum tends to have a pretty good balance. I've seen others where too many people complain about things that are normal, and ones where defenders of the companies seem to think that the companies can do no wrong. Your experience was negative, but inconsistent with what others have...

ACC works on city streets and you will get a big yellow warning that the lane centering part won't work. However, it still seems to work on numbered state and federal routes. That includes sections that slow down and pass through towns, which are essentially similar to city streets. Lucid...

If you are in for the CCC update, they will have to update the software also. I haven't heard of anybody with 2025 cars, which already have the new CCC, updating any faster.

I'd like to hear more feedback from people on their overall experience with performance aside from it being hands free. Before the update, there were situations where I took over, not because the car made me, but because I didn't feel fully comfortable such as when approaching freeway ramps that...
