Painted wall? That's high tech shit.
I got a Tesla from my work before Elon went full Reich 3, and try this:
To which I'll add:
Say what you want about European cars, at least they got usability and integration right. As did most of the auto industry. Fuck Tesla, never again. Bunch of Steve Jobs wannabes.
It's brake, the car brakes.
It probably breaks as well, but that's not relevant right now.
I'm in full on rant mode, who has time to edit :>
It’s brake not break
Tbh false stopping is a lot better than driving over children by mistake
Had a situation driving behind a Tesla on a freeway in clear conditions with no other cars nearby, where they suddenly braked, strongly. I actually had to swerve to go around him. He looked over at me sheepishly. I was a skeptic about the FSD concerns before that happened. Now I try to be cautious, but there are so many Teslas on the road now, I can't double check that all of them won't suddenly freak out
You are supposed to leave a safe distance between the vehicle in front
I did. Still safer to get away
Frunk is short for front trunk. The mp3 issues mostly goes away if you pay for LTE on the car. The rest of the issues I can attest to. Especially randomly changing the cruise control speed on a highway because Google maps says so, I guess? Just hard breaking at high speeds for no fucking reason.
I know what frunk stands from: funky trunk, given the smell. And I had premium connectivity included, doesn't do squat unless you use Spotify, which no thanks (for different reasons). I have carefully curated "car music" on an USB drive, but noo. Search will only return Spotify results.
