@briandstone That’s the lowest one we’ve gotten. It’s with Allstate, our insurance is absolutely absurd here in Georgia. We’re spending over $8,000/year. Plus it’s going to increase because they just realized how many miles we’re driving every year.

@ME1223D WHAT??!!!!! You need more quotes ASAP - that is CRAZY.

Why in the world is Consumer Reports quoting these insane, unrealistic insurance rates for Teslas? I’ve never heard of anyone paying $400/mo to insure a Model 3.

@IAmSuburban This is relatable to the point it’s not even funny

My iPhone 17 Pro Max when I see a cool car passing by and want to grab a photo

@itskyleconner Honestly it’s always the single motor standard range models that people can get their hands on for cheap now cutting up through traffic and causing issues.

Used Model 3s are giving Big Altima Energy out on the roads

Honestly would be cool if you could upgrade the storage up to 2-8 tb and have it be accessible as external storage

Apple releasing MacBook Neo that runs full Final Cut Pro like a beast just makes me irrationally angry that iPad Pro is stuck with the far more limited iPad Final Cut Pro.

@OutofSpecDetail I honestly don't mind this. Putting leather and stuff down there just increases permanent scuffs from shoes and mud/dirt. A lot of cars will do carpet there instead but tbh I can't stand it. Just makes it harder to keep clean and introduces stains.

Cheap plastic doesn’t belong in luxury cars!

This is one of those times I can actually support Dan here, shows FSD was fully engaged and responsible for this. curious if this was on HW3 or 4. But most certainly a problem either way

How it should be year round

@SnazzyLabs @LeakerApple There's probably some level of processing needed for the MiniLED backlight on the XDR model that they use the Pro chip for. Likely to reduce latency in the backlight, especially when also running the cameras, speakers, and microphones all at the same time.

@LeakerApple Here’s your answer: they don’t. But they need to use a chip they’ll have access to for 6-years before they bother updating them again.

Can someone explain why the Studio Displays need so much power? Is it so the connected mac doesn't have to use its CPU to drive the massive 5K displays or something?

@brandenflasch @JoshWest247 @AndyZeGerman We have 2 stops in Virginia that are both V2 chargers on our way between Savannah and canton Ohio. Those stops both suck and are 45 minutes vs 15 on v3/4 chargers

@JoshWest247 @AndyZeGerman Where are you going that you need to use V2 at this point?

I’m really starting to hate V2 Superchargers. The slow speed is not only inconvenient but considering the size of the fleet lineups are forming unnecessarily. Everyone is sitting here pulling a max of 72kW for huge lengths of time. Without fail, there’s always a non-Tesla EV that shows up and gets frustrated and upset that they cannot charge there. The cables are super difficult to manage for many and are even worse in cold temperatures. The plastic hook that holds the handle on the dispenser is generally worn down so badly that when you try and return the cable, it can fall and damage the back of your vehicle. As shareholders and owners what can we do to encourage @TeslaCharging to update these archaic units? Refurbished v3 Units would be fine IMO. This initiative needs to be accelerated aggressively. Because right now things are not feeling very abundant.

@koalafiedtesla @Teslaoldguy Isn’t the white stalls with the long cords just v4 not 3.5?

@Teslaoldguy Nope! It’s a V3.5 (the new white stalls)

Why are some chargers still using kW speed pricing tier? Did these not all switch to per kWh in 2024?

@TeslaCharging I’d love to see one in alliance Ohio next. That whole area around north canton doesn’t have enough superchargers, plus the current ones are always packed due to the lack of charging there.

New Tesla Supercharger: Middletown, OH (8 stalls) tesla.com/findus?locatio…

@Tryangle @TeslaCharging This isn’t a level 3 charger. It’s a level 2 that’s common at places like malls and shopping centers/developments. I’ve used them a few different times at Tanger with my model 3. Pretty solid chargers

I cannot imagine relying on anything but @TeslaCharging This tombstone was outside a closed down Amazon fresh in Chicago…. I’ve never charged anywhere but superchargers, mostly because I’ve never needed to!

@JoshWest247 @IKEAUSA IKEA would be the perfect spot for urban chargers, not full V4 cabinets though

Should @IKEAUSA install branded Tesla Superchargers?

@Drive_Protected @brandenflasch Are you using wireless or wired? I’ve noticed wireless sucks

@brandenflasch Extremely slow and laggy. I don’t recall it being this bad in my 22 F-150. Maybe it’s always slow?

I forgot just how bad Apple CarPlay was 🤯 🗑️

@IAmSuburban deleting spares from all cars is a growing trend unfortunately

Good on Ford for keeping the full size spare on the Lightning, deleting spares from EVs is a growing trend unfortunately

@TESLA_winston What was the difference between the 2017 and 2018 rear seats?

This car was owned by an enthusiast: -Retrofitted Matrix LED's -Retrofitted console -Rear bench seat swapped out (This is a 2017)

@mikepat711 @nikkharris @brandenflasch I've also witnessed tesla/elon say "drive from new york to LA completely without a driver by end of 2019" soooo

@nikkharris @brandenflasch Some of these people aren’t going to stop complaining no matter what. I’ve witnessed Tesla explain what the plan is multiple times, and these people just pretend it never happened after a week or two so they can resume complaining.

Consumer self driving vehicle tech landscape: 2023 Tesla FSD V11 = Piece of shit 2024 Tesla FSD V12 = Decent ADAS 2025 Tesla FSD V13 = Mindblowing ADAS 2026 Tesla FSD V14 = Point to point autonomous vehicle 99% of the time. 2026 Ford Blue Cruise = piece of shit 2026 Chevy Super Cruise = piece of shit 2026 Rivian UHF = piece of shit 2026 other = piece of shit

@mikepat711 @brandenflasch Have you ever tried not being a douche?

@brandenflasch Ok well you can make your own post about that. This one isn’t a HW3 complaint thread
