Nic McConnell @NicMcC83:

this is the most devastating review of anything i’ve ever seen

Imagine if your printer was also your car. That’s what owning a Tesla is like.

    I won’t buy a car without ultra sonic sensors. They stop you bashing into things that you, or the cameras, can’t see.

      I know of multiple people who’ve backed into poles that went right down the middle between two of them while they were too busy watching the screen.

      A very useful and welcome addition, but not something to be wholly relied on as a replacement for paying attention.

        Honestly, if it went between the poles and wasn’t visible on the camera, I could easily believe that it wouldn’t have been seen looking over your shoulder.

        Still gotta check by eye, but I’ve personally never seen one of those cameras and sensors that didn’t have strictly better coverage than my eyes.

      I have had my ultrasonic sensors disabled since the first week. If you have a proper set of cameras, you don’t need them and the incessant beeping is incredibly annoying.

      Sometimes less tech is better.

        Great for you. But I’d like the option to have them. A lot of cars have them as a cost add on. They’ve saved my bacon lots of times.

          Do you have a Tesla? A lot of other cars don’t have a slew of high quality cameras with a massive display from which to view them.
