Why did it take so long?
No automaker is perfect, though some so-called Tesla fanboys will wholeheartedly disagree. Mistakes happen and it s up to that company to rectify them in a timely manner. Unfortunately, it s taken Tesla far too long to settle the little matter of double charging several customers.
The fiasco began earlier this year when CNBC uncovered far too many instances where buyers, many of whom purchased a new Tesla Model Y, were charged twice for their purchases without notice or authorization. Tesla s customer service representatives were less than helpful. Some promised refunds that never materialized while others instructed affected buyers to ask their banks to block the double payment.

Oakland, Ca. is a busy city, but it s not the busiest.
Unlike computer chips, there s never a shortage of Tesla news whether it s the rollout of Musk s latest full-self driving software that isn t really full self-driving, a fire in the Fremont plant or the blistering price of the latest Tesla Model S Plaid. Today we have 13 minutes of hands-free driving in Oakland, California where there are a lot of people, cars and scooters for the Tesla to find its way around.
If you keep your eyes on the navigation screen you can see some of what the Tesla s sensors are seeing including pedestrians, cars and trucks. The screen also features a notation for when FSD (full self-driving) is active, which means you can see when the driver takes over.
The EV manufacturer just bumped up prices and pushed back delivery dates on the 1,100-hp+ performance sedan.
Tesla is forever in the news headlines for various reasons, two of the latest being its misunderstood claims of self-driving tech, and its radical new yoke steering wheel, which has been causing quite the commotion on social media. The latest news to come from the California-based manufacturer has to do with what is possibly the hottest electric car right now, and one of the most potent: the Tesla Model S Plaid+. The Plaid was first revealed back in September of 2020 with insane power outputs and a hefty $119,990 price tag and was recently updated with a 520-mile Plaid Plus option. But just when you thought that Tesla was done causing a stir, it ups the price of its flagship performer by $10,000 and is making buyers wait even longer to get hands on it.
