Quicksilver is coming to the Y in the U.S. but we're still stuck on the old platform. Come on Tesla stop screwing around update the Y.

So we’ve talked about my frustrations with Tesla controls. I was at a business event this afternoon with my friend that has the Model S that has the issues with it taking so long to get repairs done. Well this morning she backed into her flagpole, why? Because she slid her finger up on the screen and it didn’t catch drive as she intended and she accelerated thinking it was in drive when it was still in reverse. Silly control interface.
A few months ago she had a windstorm, and her basketball hoop blew over onto her Tesla and her husbands BMW, both had similar damage. BMW was done over a month before the Tesla because of parts difficulty etc.
She would get rid of it but she can’t, because they dropped the prices $30k from when she bought and she’s completely upside down.
She’s not a fan lol

Ive learned after many close calls to make sure the swipe takes and it still happens especially when you have to do something like a 3 point turn. It is probably the dumbest design move on the car even compared to the turn signal buttons.

I’ve mentioned this countless times here, it’s almost happened to me a number of times and luckily no one was behind me because I have yet to have to auto brake kick in and one time it was close to a wall.

Agreed, wouldn't stop me from buying either, it's just a dumb idea that complicates things that should be easy to do. The stalks for turn signals aren't as crucial as putting the car in drive or reverse and when you are in a hurry, correctly swiping is crucial.

It's funny, Jason Camisa and other reviewers complain about the lack of signal stalks, but are fine with shifter in the screen. Maybe they need more time with the car?

I agree, it seems like most of the complaints are about the turn signals which I understand but you may be correct that maybe they haven't lived with the car and maybe they haven't had that OH SH..T moment that raises your heartbeat. It's hit or miss and I try to be extra careful swiping but there have been several times where I have had to swipe more than a few times because for whatever reason it didn't take.

They are both equally poor design decisions, with no real justification other than wanting to be different.
You'd have to think this is an opportunity for the team that developed the S3XY buttons etc to offer a stick-on stalk. Their buttons will already trigger the blinkers and select the shift mode.

With auto mode, 95% of decisions it makes are correct. (It was 50% when it was pushed out). Only thing it needs is support for 3 point turn which is coming here in next update.
So far i did miss the swipe 3-4 times in past 10 months of every day driving, did i miss that many times in AT or Manual? Probably.

Big email blast from Ford this morning to lots of owners pushing back deliveries of the free Tesla Supercharger adapters, including mine which has pushed out from May to June. Tesla is the one making these adapters for the other manufacturers, so the delays probably impact others who now have access to the Superchargers including Rivian customers. I've got an A2Z anyway, so do have this covered if need be but still keen to get the official Tesla adapter.

also most of reviewers dont have auto mode on, because you have to do it manually.
