I love my Tesla, but the non-dismissible, non-defeatable popup when you cancel FSD is really pissing me off. If this continues, my next EV will be a Rivian.
First, I am your CUSTOMER, I'm not paying to be a Beta tester. If I'm doing your software testing, you need to PAY ME.

Second, with the latest update, you took away the ability to double-click the mic button to dismiss the popup.
You added a 2 second pause between hitting the mic button and being able to hit it again to dismiss the popup.
This popup prevents voice commands, using Grok, and blocks the data display on the screen. I can't change destinations, or do anything else until the

Hi all! Retired LEO, have carried 1911s for three decades (Kimber CDP and Ultra CDP most recently).

I need help finding a replacement. After 25 years, I somehow I lost my double mag pouch, and am having a hell of a time finding a replacement.

To be specific, it carried two standard 1911 mags stacked on top of one another, rather than side by side. Lower profile, and with the flapped snapped down, it just looks like a buck knife of Leatherman pouch.

Google has been unsuccessful for me. Lots of side by sides, and looking for "stacked" end up with double stack mag pouches.

Any help is appreciated!

FYI, my duty rig was a quad-mag setup, stacked two on top of each other. S

Adaptive cruise and FSD are incredibly disappointing, aggravating, and UNSAFE to this new Tesla MY owner. The lane centering and adaptive cruise on my HYUNDAI work better than this.

On my recent 1200mi work trip through North and South Dakota, the MY frequently missed speed limit changes, has wrong speed limits, and FSD trys to blow through small towns at 20mph+ over the speed limit, or to drive 20mph over the limit.

Then I have to change the manual speed limit max, trying to read the tiny numbers on the screen, then the nag yells at me for looking at the screen. Then when I'm on a 75mph US highway and need to pass a double-trailer semi, I get over 85mph and the adaptive cruise strike

Hi guys. I'm in Colorado, and I want to start riding dirt and gravel roads. Not dirt biking, I'm too old for that stuff. But lots of the really beautiful area of Colorado are not on paved roads.

I've had my 2016 1200S for 6 years now, it's never been off road. I have a hard time with the idea of taking her off road, and have considered trading her for a Himalayan or something similar (that's cheap and tough). My other bike is a BMW R1200RT.

But the other bikes I'm looking at aren't really much lighter, they cost close to what the MTS is worth now. I can put body protection on MTS, and some tires more appropriate for forest roads, and use her.

What are your thoughts? Armor the

I filter every time I ride (I commute, and was filtering before because I don't want to end up in some idiot's windshield).

Most people I see filtering are doing so responsibly and well. But I keep seeing guys like the dude on the Grom yesterday, who'd filter to the front and then blow the red light when it looked clear. Basically doing the same shit bicycle riders do.

Between than and morons splitting at highway speeds, I'm worried they're going to cost us legal filtering. I'll filter anyway to stay alive, but I'd prefer that it stay legal!
Yes I know morons were riding like morons before, and they will continue to regardless of what the law says. I guess Im just letting my f

Don't know if I have a bad GFCI, or if it's behaving as designed.

My garage door outlet in the ceiling went dead. No other dead outlets, no tripped GFCIs. No tripped breakers.

On the GFCI in the garage, the freezer and irrigation timer had power. Last ditch check before calling an electrician, I reset the GFI on the wall (that was hot for the two things plugged into it), and the power was restored to the garage door opener.

So, the GFCI killed the outlet downstream but remained hot at the outlet itself. I've never seen this before. Is this as designed, or is there a problem with my outlet?

Have tried hard reboot. Have not wiped and restored. iPad Pro 12.9 (1st Gen, 2015) with iOS 16.7.10 (latest available).

Wife's iPad. Behavior: When asleep, pressing any button will not wake the iPad. Plug it in, iPad immediately responds to the wake/touchID button and wakes up.

Battery is good. iPad is charged to 100%, and runs for hours on battery. Plugging in does not start the iPad, it simply wakes it from sleep (instant on).

Thanks in advance!

Got a used Traeger Silverton 620, have made a few things.

Starting a brisket tomorrow, wish me luck! Will report on the outcome.

Needed better snow performance, better soft-road and off-road, better flotation for sand, and better rim protection.

Quieter than the Primacys, better ride, not sure about handling yet, not enough data for mileage yet. No rubbing, no problems.

Saw a vid where the guy used a trick I've never seen before.
Drilling a hole and gluing in a dowel, then screwing into the dowel for greater strength. In this case he used them for the slider feet, and for the hinge screws and pull knobs.

Genius idea! That's going into my bag of tricks.

So I ended up with about 16 cedar rail pickets. 1.25x1.25x42.

I'd like to do something with them, but have no idea what. Any suggestions?

Just ordered one online. Delivery in 5 days.

So, it was a Par 3 course, and it was only 77 yards. And it was a thin pinball shot with two lucky bounces. And I was playing with a sprained left ankle and a brace, and couldn't hit for shit today.

But I couldn't believe it when it dropped in the hole!

Drove Denver to Waco and back for the eclipse. Took the SC so we could take our golf clubs and push carts.

920mi each way, very comfortable (surprisingly so), ran 80-85mph the whole way through the backroads of Texas. Averaged 24mpg for both legs (also surprising). One of the easiest vehicles to drive for many hours, the lane centering helped a whole lot to reduce fatigue.

For context, I've driven over a million miles in just about every kind and brand of vehicle you can think of. I can only think of a few vehicles more comfortable for long trips, and those are premium luxury vehicles at 2-3x the price of a SC.
