RE: Another Tesla problem
A computer is NOT infallible...nor perfect...
A sensor going bad or flaky will or can have the logger...log nothing wrong...
For those who compare to an airliners autopilot...ask how many redundant systems and components a car has ? vs any airliner...
Pressing on the brake pedal will stop Tesla and every other car too every time,
asuming the brakes work.
Computer aka AP can NOT overide brakes.
Some dumbel obviously steped on go pedal instead of brake and blames the car.
Tesla has log to prove exactly that.
I noticed There are people who use left foot on brake and right on acelerator,sometimes at same time !!!
easy to get confused in a hurry.
:) Hi, Back in the old days, Ford products depended on the brake light switch to shut off the cruise control; This was before the vacuum dump switch was used. If you were using your cruise control and your stop light switch failed, hitting the brakes would cause the cruise control to go FULL THROTTLE. And no amount of pressure from the brakes could stop the car. I turned the ignition off and hit the brakes as hard as possible with both feet on the brake pedal and pulling my body with both hands on the steering wheel. Very close to crashing.
If the engine or motor wants to go, your brakes will not stop it.

RE: Stinger hitch too long, want to shorten it
:) Hi, I bought a longer hitch shank to clear my tailgate. (18" versus 12" shank) I had it re-drilled and cut twice. Each time I had the new hole drilled 2"s back. First time I had 1" cut off of the end and the second time I had 2"s cut off of the end. Both times I bought 3/4" rubber plugs and forced them into the old hole so it couldn't be used.

RE: Foot pedal spring, Thetford Aqua Magic 2
:) Hi, if a man put it together, then a man should be able to put it back together. Need to figure out how it was installed in the first place.

RE: Tires with Kevlar
:) Hi, my truck takes a similar sized tire. LT 275 / 65 / 18. Whenever I look for Goodyear tires for my truck, it makes me wonder why the Kevlar tires are less expensive than the others. If it's truly a better tire, why would they cost less?

RE: Thoughts on studded tires
:) Hi, we barely, if at all, get any snow here but some people get their studded tires put on when legal to do so. I hear those noisy tires while destroying the streets during this time. Five months of excessive noise while ruining the streets for one day of snow. :S

RE: Upgraded F150 tires to E
:) Hi, My 2014 F-150 came with load range "C" LT tires. Door sticker says to run 40 lbs front and rear. Max cold pressure for these tires is 50 lbs. When towing my trailer I leave my front tires at 40 lbs. and raise my rear tires pressure to 50 lbs. Works perfect. No need to go to "E"s.

RE: CENTRAMATIC Wheel Balancers
:) Hi, I have Centramatics on my trailer; Trailer brake drums are not balanced so unless your tires are spin balanced on the vehicle, you won't be fully balanced.

RE: Sewer drain is lower than the dump drain.
:) Hi, I have had that with my Airstream because it sits so low. I ask for another space. I have never seen a "dump station" that is raised.

RE: 2020 ACA ("Obamacare") Update for Full Timers
:) Hi, one of my daughters was forced, by penalty, to buy the Un-afordable care act policies. She has three children and her deductible was $5,000.00 per person. $20,000.00 in deductibles for her family. Nothing affordable about that.

RE: F150 Tire time
50k miles going into winter, wear bars are a little too close for comfort. Truck came with Michelins, they are adequate.
4x4, snow, highway, rain, and towing.
Fav brand and types?
:) Hi, my F-150 has 49,500 miles on it so I'm in the same place as you. Mine came with Goodyear Wranglers LT load range "C". I believe that I will most likely go with the same tires. I don't want or need load range "E" and there doesn't seem to be very many choices in "C".

RE: Hitch/Receiver Pin
:) Hi, just don't buy or use a hitch lock/pin that comes with a sleeve to fit two sizes. I bought one for my trailer when it was brand new and it was bent before I got home. (900 miles)
