Very biased article. Lots of negative adjectives and ‘stretching’ of the truth.The Cybertruck Appears to Be More Deadly Than the Infamous Ford Pinto, According to a New Analysis

My point was the Model Y Juniper has the cabin radar, not earlier MY’s or M3’s. Your post said “I didn't know that Tesla's have internal radar. Apparently the new 4D version in the Model Y will detect passenger size to manage air bags but is also capable of detecting a child in the car alone.” IIRC the Model S/X have had it swings their refreshes a few years ago.
Tesla gave up on LIDAR for self driving years ago.They have a radar for the inside of the vehicle but not for the self-driving system?

Thanks, that’s news to me. It appears the Juniper has a more capable cabin radar, I did not realize earlier MYs had some radar, thought they relied on interior camera alone.My point is that some ModelYs have had it for a couple of years.
While Tesla has included an in-cabin radar since 2022, this appears to be a new, more capable radar. The current cabin radar is used to verify seat occupancy, but Tesla plans to add more functionality to this new system.
This updated radar will be used to provide a lot more detail than the current radar or cabin camera can provide today. The radar is located in the same location as the current version, directly above the rearview mirror.
Jay is the best. His passion comes through and his humanity too. I can spend hours on his YouTubes.Love Jay Leno’s car reviews!
That was a really good preview, even though long.Very good discussion of all the non-obvious improvements in the new model Y.
Did you have any issues with charging while eating? I've heard that some charging stations penalize you if your car is finished charging but not removed fairly quickly. I could see that if charging spaces were scarce, but not if several charing stations are open. I was thinking the car alerts you (by phone) when charging is complete. I just wondered how that all w*rks.Just got back from a long road trip in our 2024 Tesla Model S.... From Pennsylvania to Florida for a cruise, then to Disney and then back home. Paid for a month of the self driving autopilot (FSD). The FSD has improved so much over earlier versions - it navigated through Baltimore, DC and Orlando traffic patterns without a hitch and made picking charge spots very easy. We charged about every 3 hours of driving and it usually was done before we had finished eating and hitting the bathrooms.
We parked it for 8 days at the cruise port - only lost 1% charge.
The only times I had to disengage the autopilot was for unique contruction - like a new island exit of a grocery store... The car made driving in traffic mazes like Orlando pretty simple.
It’s probably unlikely you’ll get charged after 5 mins if the charger is not busy, but anyway all you have to do is unplug the car ha ha.Did you have any issues with charging while eating?

Just trying to understand the details of charging. Thanks so much for sharing your favorable experiences.
Good to know.You can track the charging on your phone and yes it does message you if you are finished. Some places had a sign for x minutes of grace… really its pretty easy to manage
Yep. They talked about that when they first introduced the concept of unboxed construction last year. Evidently the Cybercab may be the first actual production application.Apparently the Robotaxi will have polyurethane body panels with the paint being injected during the molding process. This is supposed to reduce costs substantially. Painting slows production and costs money.
