Okay, so a lot in that post title to take in. TLDR-What are people's experiences with putting a Tesla in long-term storage? What should I keep the battery capacity set to and how often should I drive it? Is there any potential for it to be a collector car given mass production? I have a 2017 Model S with ~100k miles that I absolutely love. The battery capacity has degraded some but it is still so much fun for my commute. Not so great to travel to see my family out of state, which I am... 'mothballing' a Tesla to keep as a 'collector' car ..read more

As recently at Mar 22, 2024, O'Dowd posted on Twitter/X: Human supervised FSD v12 is still far less safe than driving manually, it drives like a drunk teenager and can't pass a DMV driving test, which even the worst 16yr old driver passed.​ Then Elon e-mailed to the Tesla staff: The CEO wrote in an email to employees:...​ Dan O'Dowd on FSD ..read more

Recently there has been a lot of reporting on the Don Lemon vs Elon Musk interview. I have yet to find the full, raw interview. However, the snippets in the articles were badly edited to show Musk in the reviewer's worst light. But it had no effect on me. The most common assertion is 'Musk takes drugs' but that has been known for a long time. He takes prescribed Ketamine. We know he has frequent drug tests to satisfy FAA and DoD requirements and passes them all. So the hostile reviewers... Don Lemon 'interview' of Musk ..read more

Last year, I visited my brother and his wife on a 4,000 mi tour. I bragged on how AutoPilot relieved a lot of driving stress. But I was on a trip and left without giving a demo in my Model 3. So George and his wife took a Model Y for a test drive . . . and hit last year's "phantom brake" in traffic. Back then, phantom braking was too sensitive and aggressive. They (especially her) did not like it one bit in rush hour traffic. That defect in AutoPilot killed a potential sale. So I changed my... Phantom braking cost a sale ..read more
