    There are two camps concerned about EV though. One that won’t countenance EVs anywhere, anytime. And another group, which includes me, that is very happy that EV exists but much less happy that much of the world talks about forcefully removing ICE from the equation in favour of EV. This actually goes against your point, but in reverse. The objection you raise is therefore not the real issue, at least for this second group.

    Innovation is the core to Tesla's success. But they've found different ways to do it over the years. My Model X came and picked me up from our YMCA's parking lot today as I was leaving our kids' swim class. Autonomously. It's perfect for when it rains.

    I must have read that incorrectly. Are you saying your model X moved from a parking spot and came to the front entrance with no driver?

    Yes. It's a beta function for now. But it has been getting better and better over time. This specific instance it had to navigate around 2 cars that were driving around the parking lot as well.

    IDK but for comparison "Battista" is 1900 hp and 2300 Nm (max) - and that seems realistic.

    Is this only available for the S & X?

    I didn’t realize this is available. I’m pretty sure I can only go forward and reverse with my 3

    torque is measured by dividing by the final drive. So lets say your car has a 4:1 final drive and 1000nm torque, 250 is the real number that all cars are normally measured with.

    Musk likes to hype his ****, the car doesn't have a final drive so can use 1:1 figures.

    Its currently only available to folks who are in the early release software group. Eventually it will be avalible on the 3 and newer S/Xs. You can look around on YouTube for a couple of videos of it in action.

    It will be available on the 3. There are videos around YouTube. This was on an earlier software version. Just search enhanced summon.

    How do I sign up to be a part of the early release group?

    I’m assuming you’re taking some risks here if you do

    You have to be chosen by Tesla. It's random.

    My Model X arrives tomorrow. I’m pretty excited to try it out in real life...

    We ordered a Model X...Performance with Lud.

    WHY?

    - Safest car on the road.
    https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/tesla/model-x/safety
    - Our coming Model X is QUICKER vs our (now sold) Pista to 60 and 1/4. Thats just stupid.
    - Amazing tech.
    this from today: https://techcrunch.com/2019/07/04/tesla-shows-off-next-gen-automated-emergency-breaking-stopping-for-pedestrians-and-cyclists/
    - Tesla is making its OWN tech. Did you know they created the worlds most advanced microchip?
    https://jalopnik.com/all-the-big-claims-elon-musk-made-about-teslas-autonomo-1834238028
    - FULLY autonomous driving. (see above)
    - You can install a Tesla Power Wall in your house..solar. Doing this will not only juice your house, Tesla..but the electric you
    don't need you sell back to the electric cos.
    - Teslas don't have anywhere near the BS issues as ICE cars. Fewer systems and sub-systems to fail. IIRC 80% of all issues with a Tesla can be fixed 'over the air'. If the issue persists they send out a mobile tech to fix it.
    - Design. Spend time with a Tesla. There is genius in the design. We are getting a model X. Go drive an X with Lud. You won't want any other car.

    I am NOT a green guy. I am a car guy. Teslas are epic CARS. I am considering a new Tesla Roadster order.
