    Discuss: Tesla Adds 'Active Noise Cancellation' to Cybertruck in Update 2026.2.6.1

    I agree. Naively, when I drove off the lot in 2021, I expected it to be like a golf cart (not thinking about outside and road noise). ANC would be a great add.

    Discuss: Musk Announces SpaceX Will Build City on Moon First

    Don't ban me, but there is a Uranus joke waiting for this story. Maturity level of a 12-year-old.

    Model X and S to be discontinued in Q2 2026!

    The answer is no. I don't feel the need to elaborate, except it's another Musk delusion.

    Model X and S to be discontinued in Q2 2026!

    I guess I'm not a futurist. Humanoid robots == Fail. The use cases are Musk's wildass and stupid ideas. Factories already use robotics effectively. They don't need to resemble a human. As far as the home is concerned, rich people's novelty.

    Discuss: New Teslas No Longer Come With Autopilot, Now Only Include Cruise Control

    I would enjoy my $1.25, ten years from now. 🤣 I know you're right, just hypothetical given the shenanigans Tesla does.

    Discuss: New Teslas No Longer Come With Autopilot, Now Only Include Cruise Control

    This is concerning. I bought FSD when I bought the car, so presumably, I'll continue to have it, though I'm stuck on 12.6.4 because of HW3. But they could paywall other tablestakes features that I enjoy. It's at the far end of the spectrum, but in theory, they could slap a fee on streaming Apple...

    Tesla moving backwards in comparison to other automakers?

    I bought FSD outright when I bought my M3. In late 2021, there was no subscription, and I bought it hook, line, and sinker that Tesla would deliver for MY CAR. Not for 3 or 4 generations of hardware later. Whatever the future brings and whatever car I have then, I will never do a subscription...

    Tesla moving backwards in comparison to other automakers?

    I don't know what my future holds, but it's unlikely to be another Tesla. I hope to retire in 2028 and possibly relocate to a place with a year-round moderate climate, in or outside the US. I also want to minimize and simplify my life during those years. If that pans out, a higher-end...

    Tesla moving backwards in comparison to other automakers?

    That actually concerns me if they begin putting anything under a subscription (like the MyQ garage door thing). I tried it for a year, thinking, WTH, $40 is too much, but it might be nice to never deal with the garage door opener again. Over time, it had its hiccups and wasn't worth $10/year...

    Tesla moving backwards in comparison to other automakers?

    https://electrek.co/2026/01/23/tesla-cuts-standard-autopilot-paywalls-basic-safety-feature-behind-fsd-subscription/ Apologies if this is buried somewhere else. I know they are going subscription-only for FSD, but completely removing Autopilot, leaving only traffic-aware cruise? I would not buy...

    Potential for HW3 cars

    I know nothing about the patent process and timelines. Given the patent was just published a few days ago, I wonder if this aligns with the 14-lite rumors, or if it means nothing for 2026. I never had faith that a HW3 retrofit would happen. Too large and too expensive now with the increase in...

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2025.45.8 (FSD V14.2.2.3) Release Notes

    Having worked in the software world my entire career, it truly feels like Tesla IT is a mess regarding their merge and release strategies. There is no real reason why HW3 cars shouldn't get some of the garden-variety features being rolled out to others. I never felt frustrated owning a regular...

    What happened to software updates ?

    I've grown disinterested in my 2022 M3 over the last year (aside from being a legacy vehicle that may never get past FSD 12.6.4). There are plenty of features available on Ryzen that most certainly could be handled by Intel. Doing light research on what features traditional automakers have...

    Discuss: Tesla's Roadmap for 2026

    Not unlike many things these days, I don't believe it until I see it. Tesla leaks or statements from the company have no basis in reality until they actually happen. I would not be shocked if 12.6.4 is the end of the road for us legacy vehicle owners. I've been in IT my entire career. I know...

    I sort of understand how invested people get in religious or political discord, but I will never understand such staunch arguments over inanimate objects.

    Discuss: Tesla Update 2025.45.6 (FSD V14.2.2.1) Release Notes

    I'm in the same camp. The money has been spent, and the car will be paid off in a year. Even v12 FSD significantly reduces the fatigue of long drives, and I rely on it. Aside from FSD, I'm baffled at the features released to Ryzen chips only that most certainly would work on Intel too. It might...
