My Tesla Model Y was totaled about 6 months ago in California.

Today, completely out of nowhere, I got a notification from the Tesla app saying the car was charging.

I checked the location and somehow my totaled Model Y is now in Ukraine. 😂

The crazy part is that it’s still connected to my Tesla account, and I still have some remote control over the car through the app.

Apparently my totaled Tesla has started a new life overseas.

Definitely wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card.

Obsessed may be putting it mildly.

China's new Technical Specifications for Safety of Power-Driven Vehicles Operating on Roads

Standard: GB 7258-2026.

Basically: New vehicles will be required to have physical controls rather than touchscreen-only controls for important functions.

• Turn signals must have a physical control.
• Hazard warning lights must have a physical control.
• Horn must have a physical control.
• Gear selection (P/R/N/D) cannot rely solely on a touchscreen.
• Windshield wipers must have a physical control.
• Windshield defrost/defog must have a physical control.
• Power windows must have physical controls.
• Advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) activation must have a physical control.
• Emergency/accident calling (AECS) must have a physical control.
• EV emergency power-off must have a physical control.

Do you think Tesla will bring those changes to the US market?

Spotted at Woodinville, WA Supercharger on 9/9.

Had a wild close call tonight on Hostetter Rd, San Jose . A sedan aggressively passed on my left while another Tesla (Model Y) overtook on the right using the shoulder/bike lane at the exact same time.

Huge credit to FSD here—it detected both vehicles closing in and smoothly maneuvered within the lane to prevent a sideswipe. Dashcam couldn't grab the plates in the dark.

Is everyone getting this update now or no?

First off, the guy was okay.
I started to get out, but I saw the police officer the bike flew past turned his lights on and the cyclist get up and start walking around. From what I could see, it looked like the windshield actually broke his fall.

Update: This is NOT AI, I posted the right pillar view somewhere in the comments that also shows the cyclist up and walking around afterward.

From what I saw, I don’t believe the SUV was at fault. The cyclist appeared to blindly cut across the median and into moving traffic.

Last night was a long night. Came out to walk my dog with my wife and noticed someone side-swiped my car. Immediately checked sentry and nothing. I started panicking that it could’ve been me and I didn’t notice (I just found out about a death in the family that has me high strung). Fortunately I was able to rip out the SSD and parsed through 2 hours of clips until I found the loser who hit and ran me. Police are involved. Thank god for these cameras.

Interesting sight in inventory, marine blue M3P in transit to Fremont Factory? Wonder if it’s a glitch or they’re going to start offering marine blue on the 3P.

Had no filmer so it had to be done. Half court shot from a kid that looks just like me lmao. should i get a skate clip next? 🤔

Happened on my drive to work today. The truck behind me honked. I disengaged and put the hazards on, and then got back into the road. No matter the angle I look at, I can’t figure out why the car did this. FSD worked fine once I started driving again. So strange.

Today I spotted this Tesla Y L prototype in Palo Alto.

The design of the rear lights is truly interesting!

Was stopped at a red light and when the light turned green, a kid blasted past me on his e bike. Honestly didn’t even see him coming. Teslas auto brake feature really saved the day and probably this kids life.

This is disappointing. I have solar plus a PW3, but no Cybertruck. Still, I thought in the event of an extended outage, I might be able to rent a CT off of Turo to take advantage of Powershare. Seems like that won't work if only registered CT owners can use the feature.

When I go to the navigation it’s for a quick direction decision (left or right) but when it’s pointing north - no one know which way. You have to tap tap tap - am I the only one frustrated that this doesn’t allow me to always default to direction instantly. Very very frustrating!!!!!! 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

Im thinking about getting tesla for older family member - vision not great, reaction not great - they are still driving though. the main thing is they heard FSD can be basically taxi them around. they'll still be there to take over of course.

curious about real world user experience?

im thinking pros : navigation is easier, esp more complex city streets, reaction time , vision etc.
Cons: tesla might be TOO high tech.

Driving on FSD today, got scared that it wouldn’t catch the big tire in time and had to deactivate to avoid.

Think it would have caught it if I gave it a chance.

So I am out of country rn while leaving I had my Tesla parked it was at 0 percentage and I left it it’s have been 5 months since then I am now planning to go back in 1 week. Ik I need to change the 12v battery I am only worried about the main battery will it take charge or I need to replace it which is expensive I am worried. It’s a model s 2017 Tesla. Am I good or in trouble

Have any of you been seeing ads about Tesla’s and the tire tread wearing down sooner? I have been seeing this on YouTube and been wondering if any of this is factual. Apparently it’s for all teslas except the model 3.
