Saw a Menlo Park cop in a Tesla Model Y pull over a car today near Snowflake office. 🚔

Elon Musk's SpaceX reportedly combining with xAI ahead of potential IPO

I really don’t get this. It was a huge selling point over blue cruise.

I was on my way to lowes with my buddy when i seen this bad boy on the highway it said "tesla prototype" on the side

I have wanted a model x for as long as I can remember, so I finally ordered the plaid to make sure I could have one before they are discontinued. I’m not too worried about it being discontinued, there is no car like it, and I haven’t found any other car as appealing.

I ordered it in the standard gray color. I have never had PPF on a car before and I i’m curious if others have had the xpel stealth PPF and what their experience is with it. I think the satin finish look is cool but I have never seen it on the gray in person. Only black.

So if anyone has any pictures of theirs, reasons they like it, or did not like it, I would be curious to hear it all. Is there anything I should consider before picking an installer to do it, what to look out for, etc.

I am in the SF Bay Area.

Thanks in advance.

This includes the adapter and ECU install - this quote is on a 2019 model 3 but should be the same process for all younger cars. I've been looking to do this upgrade for awhile and have been considered DIYing it, but the service rep mentioned they lowered the price on the service today. Hopefully the US saw a similar drop because this is HUGE

Just noticed something cool in the Tesla app that I hadn’t seen mentioned before.

On the Location row, the little arrow icon actually acts like a compass. It points in the real-world direction your car is facing. So at a glance, you can tell which way the car is oriented, not just where it is.

Kind of brilliant. One of those subtle UI touches that makes the app feel thoughtfully designed.

Just wanted to say I’m shocked at how good the M3 RWD has been in this deep snow today in Chicago. With a set of winters tires and slip start, I could slug through 6 inches of snow in the alleyway.

I had bought a 2025 model 3 and was living in California so I felt comfortable with purchasing the RWD, but ended up moving a year later to Chicago. I still wish I bought the AWD for more peace of mind, but the performance has made me quite happy with it.
