Remember that these folded anode tabs could also be on the Chevrolet Bolt EV, which uses LG Energy Solution cells and also experienced fires recently. Well that certainly sounds like something GM won't be able to 100% fix via software only.

The cross turismo configurator is on the website, amusingly it has even more options than the regular Taycan. Looks to me like it's pretty much the same cost, maybe a couple of thousand more. There are some new wheels which are quite nice. Two of my friends have booked test drives so far, I had thought it would be pretty niche but maybe there are a load of 5 series touring owners that can be tempted by something like this.

Cross Turismo is the absolute worst, focus grouped, beige, bland, antithesis of exciting name for a car, it actually inhibits any interest I might have in it. Corolla is a more exciting name.

Well for that matter, Taycan is also a pretty poo poo name. And Taycan Cross Turismo Turbo S has so many things wrong it's untrue. It's still the best EV you can buy so I think you'd get over the name fairly quickly.

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1368017749851598850?s=20 In true Tesla fashion, how to let them know is left as an exercise to the reader. Is a tweet to papa Elon enough? Should you make a service request? I feel sorry for all the random employees that are going to have to deal with filtering through all the calls and requests that are going to happen because Musk decided to tweet something.

I totally missed all of the Ioniq 5 stuff, it looks...really good? Good amount of range, solid aesthetics, great use of space for cabin and cargo, infotainment looks decent and supposedly will use the SK batteries. This is the first other EV I've seen that makes me want to get rid of my Model 3 and go with that instead. It would be a big step up in several departments without the big price jump of the Y. Anyways really interested in it! I don't know what the price will be but I imagine I could probably swap cars without any cash involved and the writeoffs on this one will have eaten the depreciation for me. Looks like a better deal than the ID4 to me.

Yeah I am really keen to see when the ioniq 5s arrive in numbers to check one out. My wife has a santa fe sport that she wants to upgrade and this might be a great option.

Any idea if Tesla is actually close to a safe release of the full self driving? Just curious if this is a huge coincidence that the wide beta release is happening just as real competition (Ford and VW) is hitting dealerships, and the stock price is staring to trend downward.

No, Tesla and everybody else are still decades away from full self driving. It's just advanced driver assist despite the marketing hype. It can "fully self drive" in very limited, well marked situations, like following lanes on a highway.

Oh wow, I hadn't thought about people who paid for FSD on a lease... Talk about getting burned. I do not expect FSD to really be ready through the life of my vehicle which I expect to keep into the late 2020s, which is part of why I didn't get it when it was $7k (also that was still too much). Though it wouldn't surprise me if in the next 2-3 years the forever FSD beta becomes more reliable and safer than human drivers in good conditions, not really a stretch because autopilot is already significantly safer than human drivers on freeways in good weather.

Is there a good place to look up home level 2 charger reviews? I have pretty much settled on buying a Mach-E, I just need to start checking with local dealerships to see who actually has what is listed on their site. But I need to get a charger installed at some point as well. I am trying to figure out if there is any advantage to going with the Ford charger over any of the other brands out there. I plan on having an electrician hard wire in the charger, as I have read that some outlets do not react well to hours of high amp draw. I think that is easily mitigated with an industrial grade outlet though. Consumer Reports doesn’t go into much detail, but they like the Juicebox 40 and the Chargepoint Home Flex. Anyone have experience with either of those?

New Scientist has an article out today about self driving cars and researchers saying that pedestrians should wear sensors in order to not get mowed down by them. If your car already fitted with 360 degree sensor arrays and supermagic AI capable of billions of calculations a second isn't already able to avoid hitting stuff they should probably not be on the roads yet. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2270282-should-we-all-wear-sensors-to-avoid-being-run-over-by-driverless-cars
