If I was jamming I would want a sub woofer.
What would be cool is if Tesla has the wiring harness already installed and customers could plug and play Tesla components like more speakers and a sub and upgraded amp if someone wants to add it later.

Yes sir, totally flat especially on songs that have deep bass.

Link you posted is for the grand Highlander, which didn't have sales until July and that source has August sales missing.
It will be interesting to see if the R1S sales increase next year and by how much (if Rivian can meet demand). Any idea which high-end (75k+) 3 row has the most sales?
Off topic but I don't see how the regular Highlander survives with it being so close in price to the grand Highlander.

So finally updated my Model y to the most up to date software including the autopilot (not full self driving) updates from NHTSA. IMO, makes autopilot a pretty poor user experience. Before, you could look at the main screen to find songs, change settings, etc for at least 20 seconds before the eye/head tracker alerts you to keep your eyes on the road. Now, even a slight turn of the head to look at your own speed will cause the system to alarm, gives you maybe 5 seconds max. Your eyes have to be looking straight with little to no movement. It also makes you put your hands on the wheel much much earlier than before. To me, this is really unfair to Tesla, seeing as how my Mercedes distronic self drive will allow me to keep my hands off for past a minute at times if the conditions are right, with no eye tracking.

yes I realize my opinion is probably not popular opinion but I’ve had some kind of self driving assistance in my car since 2016 and I feel pretty comfortable with the system. It’s not like the Toyota ones which are more lane keeping assistance bouncing from one side of the line to the other. The Mercedes and Tesla actually do well on straights and gentle curves and will slow down for larger curves. I’m not suggesting people play on their phones or nap, but I should be able to find a navigation address or choose a good radio station while these systems are active

Tesla is forced to do a "recall" which effectively makes their cars less safe. Meanwhile cars that have no monitoring tech at all are completely ignored. It's almost like this is all on purpose.

I wouldn't say it makes the car less safe. It forces you to keep your eyes on the road, and seems to have fixed phantom braking, which is completely unsafe
