Thread: Tesla’s traction control is next level.

Not talking ESP / yaw control, although they do some interesting things I haven’t seen before, strictly talking wheel speed control

Here’s why Tesla is different (btw BMW claims to now be doing this with their new platform EVs 👌)

Rotated and color corrected, I like this perspective more. Check out the shock wave from the SRB ignition!

@BLKMDL3 I’ve seen it twice

[Kait @KaitlinWitcher]

if anyone is struggling to do laundry, same. But I’m doing some now so if it motivates you then do it with me rn 🫡 sort it, grab your soaps, and let’s go

[Kyle Conner @itskyleconner]

To add: a friend of mine is borrowing my Rivian for a road trip right now. They work for a charging company and have pretty good EV knowledge but it’s their first big road trip. Every single EA site has caused a problem for their trip and SLC was completely offline

[Kyle Conner @itskyleconner]

My prediction: 20% chance we’ll see this story change over the next year. I’m having plenty of issues with the new hardware too

@Sofiaan @RideOnewheel @Tesla @turo I’ve gotta try yours! I’ve been thinking about it

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

@BLKMDL3 Wonder when the blue check will appear? I just did it too

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

@ShishirDhruva @BLKMDL3 I go up to Portland a few times a year, so I’ll probably meet you at some point. I’m enjoying my Model S so much, but my 3 was such a wonderful car. And obviously @BLKMDL3 loves it as well to take it cross country twice in a year!

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

@ShishirDhruva @BLKMDL3 Would have been nice to meet you as well. I’ll start tweeting about my SC stops before or during them when I can!
What do you drive?

[Zack @BLKMDL3]

Just completed a 10,500+ mile cross-country road trip in my 2019 @Tesla Model 3 for the second time this year. Drove through 33 US states and 2 Canadian provinces and once again had ZERO issues with the car or with #Tesla superchargers. What a blast, love this car! @elonmusk

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

Eager for a future of reliable non-Tesla charging solutions for others. This couple is traveling down from Vancouver, BC and said the trip had been “horrible” due to broken or slow chargers. This @ChargePointnet station in Redding wasn’t working for them either. @ElectrifyAm #EV

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

@brandonee916 Would love for it to carry over to other settings like autopilot, lighting, etc as well. Still a super cool feature.

@afhallmd @BLKMDL3 @phibetakitten @jamesdouma Same, I’ve gotten great mileage out of the 19’s on my 2021 S

Video of the new Level Lock+ with Apple HomeKey in action with an iPhone and Apple Watch. Operates just like Apple Pay, but with express mode turned on, you don’t need to unlock the phone.

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

It does appear that to use HomeKey, you must manually add the lock to HomeKit after setting up in the Level app, rather than auto-adding to HomeKit as part of the level app setup. I had to remove from HomeKit and re-add. @MacRumors @9to5mac @levelhomeinc #smarthome

[Chad Booker @bookerc19]

Just got the new Level Lock+, one of the 1st smart locks with Apple Home Key support allowing you to unlock the door with a tap of your phone (instead of using BT or Wifi). Available ONLY at physical Apple Stores Today! @MacRumors @Apple #smarthome #smarttech #homekit #levellock

Also, given the flipped orientation of the box’s back graphics, I’m wondering if these early units are misprints but were sent out out to meet the launch deadline? 🤷🏽‍♂️
