I swear I saw an article about someone whose tesla shorted out in the rain and they basically said you shouldn't have gotten it wet.
That's mind boggling. I do not understand why people continue to buy cars from that trash company. Tesla has had a long history of shit build quality/quality control. With so many EV options on the market now, there's literally no incentive to go for Tesla anymore.
Every other car uses LIDAR and Elon thinks he’s such a forward thinker for shunning it. So dumb
Think of it this way: He is such a visionary that fog is blinding his vehicles.
Radar. Only a small handful of cars have LIDAR. But your point still stands. Outside of Elon being a humongous douche and completely unpredictable, the lack of sensors is the major reason for not wanting a Tesla.
No Teslas in the wet or the cold. Pretty soon they'll only function, most of the time, in a climate controlled area.
Lol, right? Every time there's a new article about Tesla and their issues with weather it's like reading a page out of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
...And the Tesla said "Oooh dear this porridge is too hot! And this porridge is too cold!"
Too much computer and not enough car 🥲
It's like they only ever tested it in SoCal on sunny days.
Speaking as someone who lives in a wet/cold climate in Canada - many products (especially tech) are only ever tested on sunny SoCal days. It is actually quite shocking just how many products are completely unfit for use elsewhere in the world. I honestly wish it was something that was brought up more often.
So, the only way to have anything covered under warranty is to never have your Tesla leave the indoor track which is temp/humidity controlled.
Oh how far we've advanced.
No point in doing warranty work when you don’t have a fix for the problem, this is what happens when you buy hard goods from a manufacturer that runs itself like a software company.
Can confirm it’s terrible all around. FSD is horrendous. It also has problems in bright sun and rain.
I don’t know much about this world, but I do know it’s ironic that a car feature called Vision is fogging up.
I mean how hard is it to give us tiny wipers on them. Cmon now.
Or just heat the lenses, air force and army have been doing it for fucking decades. You never hear about an F18 TGP or Abrams commander sight "fogging up" lol
Camera fogging has been an issue since at least 2019.. Tesla forums usually have threads from new owners surprised by this each year..
It was 100% predictable that 'vision only' would fail in these circumstances.
That is extremely funny
I was very happy with my 2019 model 3. I upgraded to a new model y a month ago, and the vision stuff definitely feels like a downgrade. I already have a scratch because the vision based park assist is so bad.
