MidMitten EV

EVs, tech, travel, and the road ahead.

@TeslaAiGirl Tesla FSDsv in mid-Mich, similar handling of the unexpected … almost surreal for how far in the middle of nowhere we were. (Model Y AI4 - May 2026)

@nursedanakay @aelluswamy @MyTeslaMoonship More importantly @aelluswamy really nailed the counterpart maneuver … horse n buggy 💩 avoidance…

@wendishen99 I don’t super charge often but agree it’s great. Last Monday’s day trip to Mackinaw City area was cool how much FSDsv did all the work on a 400+ roundtrip. Prolly wouldn’t have done that drive in a day in years past without a Tesla.

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

@wholemars Love my model Y.
Need the $60k cybertruck back so I can afford to replace my ICE truck someday and forget the Costco gas station too.

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

@colinsechay @wholemars I thought about slowing but figured eventually he’d get tired of tailgating and pass. Going 75 speed limit on an empty highway just invites trouble lol. And it’s always a white pickup truck that has to mess with the Tesla…(note that my other vehicle is a ‘grey’ pickup truck).

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

I’d be interested in similar question but with a Model 3 RWD as it’d be our second vehicle (to existing Y awd). If 3 rwd…with snow tires or without?
Nightmares of 1970’s rwd cars in snow don’t fade easily but if Tesla rwd tech/control has solved winter traction and FSDsv at $39k… we could soon be a two Tesla family….

Great day trip with the Model Y courtesy of FSDsv in ‘UP North’ lower Michigan. 400 miles of easy travel with stops at favorite spots in Mackinaw City, Cross Village for lunch/beach, and Petoskey to cap off a Tunnel of Trees M-119 tour - Pure Michigan.
Good start to a second time first day attempt at retirement!

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

@TevTevTevin @dezmondOliver Thanks for the heads up. All’s well for mine…

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

@wholemars I had this guy trying to match that vibe tonight for about 5 miles on the highway.
FSD don’t care one bit, not intimidated. Assume he just set his fancy auto cruise control knob wrong…eventually passed on by.

@TevTevTevin @dezmondOliver Been watching from the Nugget cam (near my oldest’s apt) and it’s been an intimidating site. Prayers for all in the area.

@MrFlake2 @wholemars The lowest price service providing an acceptable level of comfort and reliability will win…

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

Update. So the Navimow x430 mows and operates remote on schedule as a great convenience but the type of mow isn’t equivalent to the look of a ‘norm’ suburban lawn. I’m ok with it but look forward to the cutting performance improving on future models.

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

Exciting news. CyberPony to be joined by CyberGoat this week. A robot Tesla Model Y drives us on the MidMitten roads, now a robot Navimow X430 will mow our MidMitten lawn.

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

@Jason @theallinpod Client based project engineering work … On personal note, WFH today… pending delivery of robot lawn mower…so evening will be busy too.

[Tesla North America @tesla_na]

Model 3 & Model Y are the most American-made cars you can buy – for the 6th year in a row 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[MidMitten EV @MidMitt_Wired]

@Michigan_Tesla Nice polish/reflection on the paint - good job! Interesting handle issue. Grok says service ticket for Tesla SC or mobile service. Not an uncommon alignment issue (per grok)…referred to search for DIY videos as well.

@DavidMoss Tesla FSD 14.2.2.5 avoiding horse 💩 in mid-Michigan’s horse n buggy zone.
