It's telling that BMW and Porsche are all about putting more information between your eyes and the road while Tesla has always been 100% about making you look away from where you're going.

Tesla also updates the UI so you need to relearn the steps and find things that were moved.

We had the screen go totally unresponsive, which required a reset. No radio, map, fan, etc. My wife waited a couple of days before I came home from a trip because she was worried the reset might fail and then she'd have no transportation.

"We never seem to have the time or money to do it right, but we can always find the time or money to do it twice."

I have it on good authority that they can't even get the windshield wiper working properly on the Cyber Truck.

I'm curious if your source thinks the Cybertruck will ever be built.

He only said there's no chance that Tesla's public timelines are accurate.

Hey Tesla, The devil's in the details, right?

One can at least expect as the electric car segment has some reasonable competition, B.S. like this will vanish.

My iPhone has never done similar after an update. If it didiit did, I likely would not have an iPhone in my hand.
