You appear to be confusing the entertainment and display system with the actual computer running the car. They are not connected and run completely independently. Tesla needs a better job explaining this to people. The car is still 100% functional when the screen goes down. All driving functions including the signal lights still work you just don't hear the tick tock through the stereo. I reboot mine on the go all the time, its completely safe.

There were some issues with the 3 when they were using every part they could manufacture because they had years of reservations. You going to wait a little longer than for a Toyota that has been in production for 30 years. This whole thing that parts don't exist is completely disingenuous and text book FUD. I had some issues with my 3 and it was at launch and they still had the parts and came to me and fixed it faster than my wife could get her BMW in for a service.

P.S. That anyone could say with a straight face that they got it right on a Prius is pretty funny.

Tesla has a standard they want at a body shop and recommend you take it to an approved repair location. Just like every car manufacture on the planet if there is not a decent body shop close by you have to go to one, they don't come to you.

Your not alone lots of people react strangely to it. The screen going black is about the equivalent of turning off the stereo and climate control in a regular car. I have no idea why people think the infotainment unit controls the car, its just a display with some basic secondary controls.

That would be a very poor and dangerous design. If the systems are coupled a failing display or infotainment system could compromise the car. These systems are separate for very good reason.

I guess its just me but I've never really understood this whole dependency on instruments in a car. People act like you trying to land a plane in dense fog. What I care about are oil pressure and temperature, a tach is nice but I have ears so its not in any way essential. Since none of these exist on an EV I really don't understand why people panic when the infortainment goes down. Tesla forums have plenty of threads of people freaking out over it and almost crashing. I guess its the same sort of thing when people have panic attacks when losing signal or charge on a phone.

What kind of Masters Degree is Electric Vehicle Engineering, what faculty is your bachelors?

It's too bad the sun never shines in Australia.

It's so weird the hate people have on EV, maybe its just the weirdness of the internet. This thread reminds me of the Ricky Gervais bit about those homemade signs with the little tabs with the phone number that says call for guitar lessons. Then calling the person just to shit on them that you don't like guitar and don't want any lessons. Clearly some of you do not want an EV and believe it is very difficult to access electricity. Why are you in the the Tesla Cyber Truck thread?

It's interesting I have had my Model 3 since they were first delivered to Canada. I have never super charged it once that I felt I had to wait for it. Every time I have been to a super charger I was like ok I have been on the highway for 4 hours I need to take a break from this car and stretch my legs. It was exactly the same as I would have done in a regular car. The car charges fast enough that its ready to go when I am. 99% of the time I charge at work or home it only the occasional road trips I have ever need a super charger. Your looking at like 20 minutes for an 8 hour drive. Are you ICE guys like pissing in a bottle and hitting the gas station like its a nascar pit stop?

I’m Canadian so I think in Metric. My car has a 500km range. Our highways have generally a 100km per hour speed limit. My car has peaked out at 1000km per hour super charge rate. So 400km can be done in around 20 min. Start fully charged drive 4 hours super charge for 20 min and drive another 4 hours. I would still have plenty of range to spare. It’s great that you have a situation that you need to rotate drivers and drive non stop around the clock. I’m glad there are cars available that fit your needs. If we want to talk extreme I could hypermile for crazy time and distance.

P.S. The 24 hour record for a Model 3 is something like 2800km I think that should be good enough for most people.

I love the Tesla recall headlines, they are just so gloriously fear mongering. All manufacturers have them with Tesla they are usually patched over the air before the story even hits the internet. It is an area that they are easily the best in the industry and they endless try and spin it as a negative.

I totally agree. How hard is it to build something and account for all possible permutations of the future. I think it's just those damn union workers are lazy.

That is what I am saying all those humans not being perfect all day everyday it's just lazy. If only you could preform a recall over the air.

I know people think Tesla's are the car of the future but did you not realize they roll on the road? I wonder if there is any existing infrastructure available to support vehicles that have wheels.

Pretty standard for anyone that owns a business to run their vehicles through the business. I'm Canadian but every small business owner I know cycles their vehicles every couple of years. It would be very unusual if a successful business didn't do that.
