My parents still can't use 3rd party chargers, 19' model 3.

It isn't activated yet, but the LYRIQ has the hardware for the equivalent of Sentry mode, including the slot for the SD storage in the trunk. Having access to the Tesla charging network next year will be nice. There are videos already of LYRIQs charging at the magic dock Tesla chargers in NY. No vehicle, of course, is perfect for everyone.

I can't speak to your parent's particular situation or car. Assuming the firmware/software is updated, the car should provide available fast chargers on 3rd party networks, assuming they meet the standards Tesla has set. It may be the case that the 3rd party chargers in their area or that they are going to doesn't meet their high standards.

There is nothing precluding a Tesla from using any 3rd party charger, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for it to appear on the map at all based on the criteria you mention. @NoHaveMSG seems to be saying that it doesn't work at any 3rd party charger.

Something about they need a part updated on the car for the charger to work, the Tesla service center won't let them order it and schedule an appointment for install, they have to wait until one is in stock. I dunno, my dad is pretty flustered about it for a while now. The service center here in town is pretty new, open less than 6 months. The car works fine as is with just a home charger for the milage that they use, around 50-60 miles/day.

It's just one anecdotal point. My dad still loves the car even though it is mostly mom mom's. She would still be driving a 05' Elantra if she had a choice.

I see many teslas in west palm beach. Older conservatives who don't like evs still purchase teslas. They're looked at as luxury items and on the island anything with a big 3 emblem is inappropriate.

Ultimately, it should feel like a better golf cart just like a car is a better lawn mower.
Surprisingly, the best part of the driving experience is the instantaneous torque, linear/predictable torque curve and not having a middle man (transmission) to dilute and interfere with the process. I've never felt more directly linked to the engine and to the throttle than in an EV. NA manual is next. NA PDK is next, FI manual, and it just goes downhill fast from there.

I liked the steering of the Model Y. Yes the instantaneous torque was nice, but it was so easy (and lacking fanfare) that it also got boring in a hurry. My opinion of course.
