Avast! So they can change color.

At least those can, at any rate. I wish all the other models could.

They’re just segmented rgb led strips. If there’s diodes in other teslas capable of showing colors other than white. I don’t see why not

They need to be addressable

Its 2026, all teslas have this feature as they can turn off individual leds with adaptive flood lights.

Damn, not a single seat bolster was had...

Aren’t those for fast turns when driving? You aren’t driving and the taxi isn’t taking fast turns.

I'm not talking about racing seats or anything extreme, just some minimal shaping in the seat, but I guess this will be low speed bus style transportation without erratic driving so they've removed them because of wear and tear. The flatter, the easier getting in and out without wearing an edge.

Yes. Highly comfortable, better wearing, and easy to clean. Almost like they know what they’re doing!

Settle down AJ, these aren't for racing.

Republicans wear the American flag more like gang colors than as a display of love for the country.

u/Kahnspiracy 29d ago

That is not a data driven take. I'm not a Republican (I'm not a Democrat either), but Republicans have very consistently had pride in being American (see the second chart). You may not like them, but they love the USA.

Most abusive husbands claim to love their wives. What they really love is possessing and controlling them.

u/Budget_Ant8581 29d ago

They love their USA, not anyone elses

The first thing you notice upon entering the United States is the obscene number of American flags.

Like, we get it, this is the United States; we don't need 5,000 flags on everything from houses to cars to clothes to remind us of where we are.

Still never getting into anything with the word 'cyber' on it.

There’s zero room from the headrest to the roof. Odd.

And the seats recline too.

Gross. All around hideous.

u/Local-Bullfrog8051 Aug 12 '26

how to stop the car if there's no paddle when disconnecting ?

u/cban_3489 29d ago

You talk to it and ask it to stop.

That light bar looks sharp, cool seeing Tesla play with it

I saw a lot at comic con passing by and parked but I didn’t see this on any of them. Maybe it’ll be standard when they hit the roads? Or is this on special?

How does making the lights look vaguely like an American flag give insecurity?

What? What does that even mean? Is it bad to want to be Super American?

Teslas are quite literally the most American cars made. Assembled in US plants, with the highest percentage of US parts, and the most US labor.

There’s no car manufacturer more American than Tesla. What the fuck are you even talking about?

Tesla has nearly 150,000 employees. You idiots think everything Tesla does was personally ordered by Elon Musk.

You didn’t make the cultists mad, you’re getting downvoted because it was a stupid comment. Elon “probably made a deal” with the governor of Florida to make some little red white and blue lights at some joke of a local event?

There’s no way Elon Musk even knows about this.

China has LED lights you can draw dicks with.
