What I've been finding doing tons of research for my next car is that other bigger brands have caught up and surpassed the electric car part of things, and BMW is blowing by them in range almost uncontested, but Tesla is still way ahead on the software. Which specifically, and most critically means FSD. I am a huge Tesla supporter and stock holder, and was set to buy one until the last few weeks, but the more I experience the competition the more I am concerned about this. If others get close to the FSD, Tesla better keep pushing hard to stay ahead in the overall experience. I am assuming that's why they've diversified so much and aren't focusing on consumer cars as much as other projects compared to not that long ago. I get the sense they realize that consumer vehicles are going to have an even playing field at some point, and money needs to be made elsewhere. Cybercabs, Optimus, batteries, etc, seem to be getting a lot more attention right now. But maybe im wrong and overthinking things. I just really want them to stay in front, which is good for the overall industry anyway.

Is it really though when most likely BMW is getting the extra range by simply brute forcing it by adding more traditional NMC lithium-ion batteries? That's what Chevy did with their Silverado EV to get 400+ miles of range too. Also, the starting price of the new BMW i3 sedan is rumored to start around $53k which is $10k more than the comparable long range Model 3 with 363 miles. If you think the extra range is worth it for that amount more in money, then fair enough. But BMW really is not innovating within the EV space in the same way that Tesla, Lucid, and some Chinese companies have already been doing in terms of efficiency and battery technology.

I don't know, maybe all the testing that BMW is currently doing with sulfide solid-state batteries will actually come to market next year in the 2027 BMW i3.

Is this even "Automotive?" Holy cow. This is huge. The future is here and it's insane.

Grok Bot just released for Tesla and I'm blown away

I was lucky enough to have early access. Having your car drive you around while you talk to an army of agents is incredible

In this video I take you for a ride in my Cybertruck and show you just how awesome this new release is pic.twitter.com/9xxmkZLHgV

Tesla just increased the repair estimate for my seatbelt from $200 to $800 and I am inclined to cancel the service now. That's insane to me. I can't find the specific issue online but I am going to at a minimum look for a third party shop. Their service center claimed they would have to take all the trim off the interior which I don't understand because the mechanism is inside the seat. I'm going to be forced to make a reddit account or some **** to get the help of the hive mind.

With Grok Bot now integrated into the system, it could have your entire next day of driving planned out just based on your calendar appointments. Get in and hit go.

My Tesla already does this. My assistant puts appointments on my outlook calendar with the address. For example, Smith Deposition, 1111 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia.

When I get in the car, that address is already in Nav. I forgot how that was set up, but I've had that since I got the car. I don't think it is linked to Grok.

Also, lol. My legal assistant didn't delete cancelled appointments, she just added "CANCELLED" to my outlook appointment and left it as is. I found that out the hard way one morning. Wasn't paying attention to navigation so much and all of a sudden, my Tesla turned on the interstate to head to ATL.

I actually found the step by step guide in a Tesla service manual and you essentially have to pull the entire lower part of the seat out then the entire upper part of the seat, then drill out rivets in the metal frame of the seatback. What a PITA.

Lmao just realized there's a subwoofer in our model x so i cranked it up and I feel like I'm in high school again.

This is funny:

Tesla and Grok don’t need an advertising budget when the internet is doing this kind of marketing for them. 😂😭😂 pic.twitter.com/MV8UfKw98S

Screwed around and didn't put a deposit on a Y I wanted and it sold. Dammit.

Welp that was fast and just as I predicted a week ago. That's two rate increases just this month.

Tesla has raised the financing interest rates (APR) for select Model 3 and Model Y trims in the U.S.

New rates (APR):
• Model 3 Premium RWD & AWD: 2.49% (from 1.99%)
• Base Model Y RWD & AWD: 1.99% (up from 1.49%)
• Model Y Premium RWD & AWD: 1.99% (up from 1.49%)

All… pic.twitter.com/naQc8d34lN

I feel your pain. Drive the best Teslas, but will never have the best software. P

Tesla employee was over at my house yesterday and told me Y and 3 will always get updates first just due to how many of them there are. Makes sense, but dammit if i don't want them to roll them out for S and X first.

I just did it. It's easy.

Something I've noticed very recently when using FSD. A couple of days ago I was driving back to CS from IAH and the car wanted to stop and charge in Navasota. That seemed odd because my mental math said I had enough to get home. But it was late and I was tired so I stopped and plugged in then looked the charge I was at and realized I definitely had plenty to get home and then a lot more. Confused I looked at the arrival energy settings and it was at 30%. I've always kept that at 10% but there it was and I couldn't move it below 30%.

Am I the only one seeing that? There was definitely no reason for me to drop and charge 20 minutes from my house with 17% left. Now today I'm driving to Houston and the arrival limit has a floor of 40%. I can't find a setting anywhere to fix this back to the 10% I want it at and that's very frustrating. Navigation is WAY less useful if there's an arbitrary arrival energy level I can control.

That is interesting, so to look out for when I get my vehicle.

Don't think I've ever used an arrive at percentage and not sure why I'd use it when headed back to my house. Only time I've cared about an arrive at percentage is when the destination is sufficiently far from a charger.

If you're cutting it close it's worth setting at like 5% so it doesn't keep trying to reroute you on the way home.

Look for the round-trip toggle in the navigation trip settings and turn it off if you only need a one-way trip. That might be why it's arriving at 30 or 40?

Historically it's been a default setting and I kept it at 10% then did the mental math from there depending on where I was going. I'll do what Lockett suggested and see what happens.
