1fgmrj | Any idea if Top Gear is planning to test Model S after the Roadster fiasco? I d love to see it! | wouldn t you? | [deleted] | 2013-06-01 12:42:53 | 12 | caa2oet | well given the aftermath of the roadster rest I m going to guess it won t ever happen | themathemagician | 2013-06-01 13:13:36 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
w2vkwo | Any idea if the Giga Texas Long Range Model Y uses the front giga casting? Or is it identical to the Fremont design? | I ve read that the Long Range Model Y built at Giga Texas uses the 2170 batteries. I m curious if it uses the front casting that the 4160 Model Y uses or if it uses the same traditional front chassis structure that the freemont long range model y uses. | cgaaf | 2022-07-19 15:33:03 | 12 | igsykdr | Austin built LR is same as Fremont one. Except minor changes like rear shelf that MIC has already. | 0bviousTruth | 2022-07-19 17:31:36 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
cbodgx | Any idea why autopilot didn t react to car in front braking? | AP showed no sign of slowing and I had to slam on the brakes myself - hard enough that my tires screeched and a couple cars behind me had to swerve a bit. First thought is that its because I was driving into the sun but that same sun position is present for several weeks a year during my commute and I haven t experienced this before. In the past when sun has been an issue it will tell me to take over because of low camera visibility. & #x200B I ve had my model 3 for over a year and use AP for 50 miles daily and this is the first time I couldn t see an AP issue coming. https: reddit.com link cbodgx video af8j4p9uck931 player | hendrixx007 | 2019-07-10 23:48:03 | 15 | eth0s2e | Looks like it might from a perfect storm of variables: 1. Driving under an overpass 2. Car stops under the overpass 3. The sun gets blocked by the overpass Visually there seems to be so much environmental change that it might of falsely assumed the vehicle was part of the environment. By the time they were braking hard the whole scene completely changed compared to a couple frames prior. | MrMusAddict | 2019-07-10 23:58:27 | 24 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
5tqjbr | Any ideas what s going on with the power wall? | Does anyone have one yet? We just had a brief power outage and I wish we had them already. I reserved a power wall almost 2 years ago when the product launched... and then re-reserved (with deposit) 3 months ago at the re-launch... Have they started shipping? | chriswilmer | 2017-02-13 03:10:09 | 36 | ddokyxu | I got a call last week from Tesla HQ and they told me they were getting ready to roll out Powerwall (I m located in SoCal). They asked me if I was still interested (because I was on the waitlist) and wanted to get the process of installation going. I told them I would wait for the Solar Roof and I would get the Powerwall together with my solar setup. Tesla told me that they would begin Solar Roof installations in CA during the summer and that they told me they would put me on that list. Tesla said they would call me back when they were ready to start solar roof installations. | DDotJ | 2017-02-13 09:48:07 | 15 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |
7h0l4k | Any info on the EV tax credit status? | Considering all the news (or surprisingly lack of) on the new tax plan does anyone have info on if the tax credit is in or out? The house plan cancelled it but the Senate had it in if I remember. With the thousand last minute changes I hadn t seen if this was an issue that had been talked about. It s a big deal to me and might cause me to cancel my day 1 model 3 reservation sadly. But more than that it would just slow down EV adoption in general | ltdan8033 | 2017-12-02 04:21:24 | 26 | dqnczra | It s unaffected in the Senate version that just passed. But now it has to go with reconciliation with the House bill. So honestly who knows at this point. No one who even voted on the bill actually knows what s in it yet. Edit: It was introduced in the Senate bill but it was never voted on. It s still not in that version despite what you might read. Real sad state of affairs in government right now either way. | Plexicle | 2017-12-02 07:04:58 | 5 | EV Tax Credit Impact |
1r3dsf | Any information about a new Tesla car that cost less than the model S? | I was at the store in third street promenade and i was talking to an employee about the car and he mentioned there might be a new car the cost less than the model S. Is this true ? | a1aaaa10 | 2013-11-20 22:37:03 | 10 | cdj5zw9 | Rumors of a Model E around 2015 in the $30 000 USD range. It will be dependent on the success of the Model S though. | garbonzo | 2013-11-20 22:49:36 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
c3cvcc | Any insights into when if we will get schedule charging to finish by 7:00 am functionality? | Tomorrow morning I need to leave first thing for a long trip. I would like my battery to charged to 100% right when I depart. I do not want it sitting at 100% for hours before I leave. Given how sophisticated my car is in other ways it seems crazy that I can make my car fart and play videogames but I can t tell it to charge itself to 100% by 7:00 am. (Tonight when I m done driving I will need to manually do math to reverse engineer what time I should defer charging until -- and then hope it works out.) Am I an outlier in wanting this functionality? Does anyone know of a way that I can communicate this feature request to Tesla -- or upvote the idea if someone else has already submitted it? | the_y_of_the_tiger | 2019-06-21 16:33:51 | 17 | erq4qz7 | I guarantee Tesla knows people want this. It s particularly useful for people in cold climates that don t want limited regen in the morning. No word from Tesla on whether it s in the works though. | dubsteponmycat | 2019-06-21 16:39:33 | 17 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
4vhm7q | Any leaks about the 100kwh battery pack? | Surprised it wasn t announced with the gigafactory grand opening. Anyone hear anything about when it may be available? I know some people have inside info and whatnot. | DocZo | 2016-07-31 15:51:29 | 34 | d5yevm1 | So I heard a very very unsubstantiated rumor that the 2170 cells will be making it into S X in about 8-9 months. 2170 cells would easily get you to 100kw and change. When I say unsubstantiated I mean like that part from Spaceballs type of separation. | supratachophobia | 2016-07-31 16:00:55 | 25 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
keh7pv | Any luck ordering from the Tesla online store? | I ordered the Model Y kid s wagon on 11 25. Supposed to ship the following week with delivery on 12 3. I received shipping update from FedEx showing label is created but product is sitting at tesla warehouse. I ve emailed the store 5 times with no response of any kind. Has any had any kind of luck corresponding with the store for any products? Update: They actually got back to me today. It was a shipping error with tesla and will be shipping a new one in 5-7 days. Cautiously optimistic but have little faith. | snortWeezlbum | 2020-12-16 20:28:49 | 10 | gg2k3m5 | If what I read on this sub has any truth your package will arrive on your door someday in the next month or so without every having tracking info.

6kl3gp | Any news about the snake charger from a while back? | Hey guys! I remember seeing the [snake charger](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=uMM0lRfX6YI) prototype video a while back but havent heard almost anything about it ever since. Has Elon said anything about a time frame? Do you guys think they might be holding off on it until the Supercharger V3 release? thanks! | TheMightyCraken | 2017-07-01 04:33:31 | 21 | djmwkpk | The pragmatic me says - it s low reward to install these before we have driverless cars and a scaled up network.

8yp3ph | Any news on CCS charging? | I haven t been paying super close attention to the latest Q& A and tweets. I know Tesla is now a core member of [CharIN](https: www.charinev.org members ). Has there been any tweets or hints at progress with that? I for one am super disappointed the Model 3 can t use Chademo (or CCS at the moment) since it s the only fast charging available near my brother s town and there are a lot of new stations for it nearby. I hope they take it up so EV manufacturers can have a universal Level 3 Standard and fast charging could be more available especially considering the impending hoard of new Model 3 drivers on the road to take up the super chargers. | brobot_ | 2018-07-14 00:08:03 | 16 | e2cqui6 | My guess is that there are two answers depending on if you re in North America or the rest of the world. * **North America** - I think Tesla is going to concentrate on blanket coverage of their own infrastructure. The installed base of vehicle superchargers destination chargers not to mention private HPWCs is too widespread to change now. * **Europe** (+rest of world) - I think Tesla is going to build the European spec Model 3 with a CCS2 port - which by extension would be compatible with both superchargers (+ destination chargers) as well as the new CCS2 networks being built. See my bad photoshops [in this previous post](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 82x7b8 model_3_charge_connector_options_in_europe_and ). It s also possible that a Model S X refresh at some point in the future may include this plug type. Either with a redesigned taillight like the Model 3 or with the extra port behind a different cover like the [Chinese spec for their GB T port](https: electrek.co 2017 10 16 tesla-new-dual-charge-port-design-model-s-model-x ). | ChuqTas | 2018-07-14 01:22:53 | 9 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
6gf4me | Any observations on how Supercharger idle fees are impacting local supercharging? | I m curious if anyone has noticed a difference in supercharger usage behavior since idle fees have been imposed. | OompaOrangeFace | 2017-06-10 13:03:53 | 13 | diprwtk | Only thing I ve heard about is service centers waiving the fee charges when someone comes in for yearly service.... which annoys me. Tesla customers aren t always right - charge them those fees no matter how much they lie bitch about them!

bs44e2 | Any one else having issues with passenger seat heater turning off after putting in drive? | When my wife gets in the car she ll turn on the seat heater but as soon as I put it in drive or reverse it turns back off. Then she has to turn it back on again. She is getting pretty frustrated with it as it s been happening for a while. Is this happening to anyone else or do I need to schedule a service? I was waiting for 2019.16.2 to see if that would fix it but received it last night and it s still happening. | helivatefilms | 2019-05-23 15:10:40 | 32 | eoiq1hk | Yes my wife always complains about this. | peris_hilton | 2019-05-23 15:22:51 | 14 | Tesla HVAC Functionality |

5wa8wg | Any one else seeing service go downhill lately? | When I first purchased my model S the service at centers was incredible. Make a call and the next day a loaner would be delivered your car picked up and everything was easy. Work would be done quickly and the folks would call you every step of the way. If the timelines slipped they would call a rental car and have it sent to you directly. You so you always had a car. Fast forward a few years and things start going downhill. It takes 6 weeks to get a service appointment and getting a loaner car has become near impossible. They no longer call rental companies to get you cars and expect you to come to them. But this week I think service has gotten worse than I ve ever seen and I m not happy anymore. My car decides to die completely on Friday morning. Die as in won t start up all displays blank no power whatsoever (it was charged that night fully). So I call up service. The car died at 7:30 but it didn t even get looked at until the end of the day. Instead of calling me to explain what is going on all I got was a text message saying they re still looking at it and they ll update me on Saturday. Saturday rolls around and they don t call me. So I try calling them. Still don t know what is going on and because they are short staffed on a weekend they won t be looking at it until Monday morning. I asked if they had any loaners and of course there are none. So now I have no car and no way to get to work tomorrow. All because I have no alternative but to deliver the car to their service center which is now understaffed and so far behind that an emergency can t be looked at. So anybody have similar issues with service? Or are the problems in my area unique? | skibumatbu | 2017-02-26 14:12:46 | 77 | de8ht31 | As a prospective owner...

5416c2 | Any one try out the new autopilot yet? | I like all the updates that are coming to 8.0 but I feel like the autopilot is far more restrictive. Granted I rarely ever get the put hands on steering wheel remark but I m not sure I appreciate the new restrictions. Just curious to see what heavy (highway) autopilot users have experienced so far... | curiousdoc | 2016-09-22 20:56:34 | 17 | d7y9qz3 | Only used for a very short time this evening on the way home from work. But I do think they did a good job with the lane offset. I ve always been nervous overtaking a semi from the exact center of my lane when they were hugging the line. A little less stress inducing now. Also really cool seeing two cars ahead especially when I personally couldn t even see that first car. | Meiltoba | 2016-09-23 01:09:39 | 6 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
62lnoa | Any other High Mileage drivers considering a Tesla? | Hello Everyone I think it s almost time to put my 07 Corrolla out to pasture. Lately I ve been pricing out all kinds of cars. Ideally I would have loved to have a Mustang GT which has always been my dream car. It s not that I can t afford it but I have a wife and baby now so looking at something accommodating. I ve always admired Teslas but I have some concerns about wear and tear. Currently I am employed and drive nearly 45 miles each way to and from work. (Los Angeles County. It sucks.) I own a house so less concerned about charging and range so much as wear and tear. Due to the high mileage I drive I m concerned about running down a nice car like a Tesla. What are the maintenance costs issues like on a car like this? | [deleted] | 2017-03-31 14:56:06 | 18 | dfnigoo | I got mine used - I ve put about 50 000 miles on mine in 2 years so about what you d put on yours with your commute. It s a pretty solid workhorse if you need it to be. Maintenance so far: Tires are pricey as you d expect with 19 wheels. Had a couple of warranty things that don t apply to the newer Teslas. Wear-and-tear so far: Maybe get some kind of paint armor stuff I ve got several paint chips on mine. Battery range went from 265 miles of range originally to 258 after 4 years since manufacture and a total of 56 000 miles on the car. (If you re looking for statistical data [Battery degredation is pretty low](https: electrek.co 2016 11 01 tesla-battery-degradation ) on average) My driver s seat has some blue tint from my jeans. | tuba_man | 2017-03-31 15:18:56 | 15 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
1k1fnn | Any other orders get bumped? | So I pulled the trigger on my Tesla last month and was given a completion date of the week of 8 12. Unfortunately when I talked to the delivery specialist to finalize a pickup time I was informed that delivery would be delayed until Mid September due apparently to European orders bumping American ones. Needless to say I m extremely disappointed. Has anyone else had their order delayed or is it just a few of us who are experiencing this? The entire ordering process has been relatively easy so far so running into such terrible service after they have my money has been frustrating. | QuietDragon | 2013-08-09 18:03:49 | 13 | cbknltp | I can understand why they wanted to make *some* cars for Europe considering that there have been people waiting for years. However you should still send them a polite concise letter telling them what you feel. That should give them pause to think about their service. | TROPtastic | 2013-08-10 01:59:28 | 7 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
4jxe6j | Any owners care to give a tour of My Tesla or the Tesla App? | For those of us suffering in wait for the Model 3 are there any owners out there that can give us a tour of the things to come for us? For now My Tesla simply shows my reservation number and date but what does this show once you actually own a car? Similarly the Tesla app tells me I don t have a car and doesn t do anything else. I ve tried looking for *good* tours of the app and come up empty thus far. I figured somewhere in our community of enthusiasts maybe someone could put something together. | daringone | 2016-05-18 16:03:39 | 15 | d3aebdv | Because I know exactly how you feel here s a rundown of the app. From the Home screen: * A menu button in the upper left that takes you to Main Controls (the Home screen) a Valet mode screen where you can turn Valet mode on and off or clear the PIN number for it settings for Notifications (for the app) and Calendar syncing and a Sign Out Button (his menu button is on all screens) * An image of your car with its state (Parked Charging etc.) its current rated range and location and whether or not it s locked * Buttons at the bottom of the screen to take you to the Controls screen the Charge screen the Climate screen and the Location screen (these buttons are on all five of the main screens but not on the Valet mode screen or the settings screens) From the Controls screen: * A button to start the car (turn it On ) * An image of your car (each image updates based on whether any of the doors or either trunk are open) * A button that unlocks the car * A button that beeps the horn once * A button that flashes the lights once From the Charge screen: * A button to open your charge port * Your charging state (Charging Not Charging Supercharging) * A button to set the charge limit (80% for daily use 100% if you re going to embark on a long distance trip) * A meter showing your current rated range From the Climate screen: * A button to turn climate control on * If climate control is on a display of the car s interior temperature * A ghosted image of your car (to show the state of your climate control i.e. which vents are blowing) * A temperature control (which is ghosted if climate control is off) From the Location screen: * A targeting reticule button to center the map on your location * A car button to center the map on your Tesla * A button to turn the satellite imagery on and off * A Directions button (I believe this is to give you directions to the car but I ve never used it) * A map with a red arrow icon for your Tesla and a blue dot icon for yourself * Superchargers at least right now do *not* appear on this map That s it! | StevesRealAccount | 2016-05-18 16:37:46 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6ql006 | Any owners of RWD Model S cars can share any experiences where having an AWD instead would have saved their ass? | There have been a lot of reassurances on here that RWD combined with good snow tires will be good enough for most situations and that we should just go ahead and get the RWD Model 3 instead of waiting for the AWD. I just want to get some personal anecdotes from RWD Model S owners of any experiences incidents accidents they have had just because they were in an RWD instead of an AWD. | morefierce | 2017-07-31 00:26:26 | 29 | dky1n9a | Can everyone hold off on replying for a few minutes?

2wg610 | Any owners out there who live in a Condo or Apartment? | How do you charge your vehicle? I want a Tesla in the worst way but I live in a Condo. Running an extension cord across the sidewalk out to my car doesn t seem like the best solution but its the only option I would have. | Letters_MrT | 2015-02-19 17:29:36 | 24 | coqjuiy | I live in a brownstone apartment. We have no dedicated street parking no driveway no garage. I m honestly jealous of people who complain they only have 110v charging. If you live in my neighborhood you either pay $350 mo for a tandem parking spot in an alley way or you get free residential parking which means every time you park you have to spend half an hour hunting for a parallel parking spot in over-crowded streets and feel lucky if you find one 5 blocks away from your house (groceries are fun). A few years ago in Boston it would have been very difficult to have an EV because there was zero infrastructure but now it s doable (still abysmal tho). This is the reason I originally did not buy a LEAF. I m able to live this way now because unlike the LEAF the Tesla Model S 85 has such a HUGE range when fully charged and because I m an inherently patient person (I m willing to sit in the car and get work done while it charges). Also because I understand the growing pains of EVs right now and I want to be part of the solution and not wait for others to speed up EV adoption. I charge in a myriad of ways. I now know every parking garage within a 2 mile radius that has EV charging and their cheapest rates. My favorite garage only charges $9 per day but that s weekends only and I have to take public transportation to get back. During snow parking bans I m blissfully able to charge across the street from my house in a parking garage that s normally $40 a day for only $10! Believe it or not though I almost never charge in garages. I hate paying to park just so I can charge. There are 3 HPWCs within 20 miles of my house. My driving habits mean I occasionally drive near them and I use this as an opportunity to charge (and get some work done). I also occasionally drive to a Supercharger. There are also several grocery stores and shopping centers outside the city that have charging. I take advantage of these whenever I can. It may sound complex but it s really not. Plugshare is a godsend the battery is enormous and in 6 months and nearly 10k miles of driving I ve run low on charge maybe twice (I was fine). Any inconvenience I experience is more than worth it the car gives me so much goddamn joy. If you can work something out with whoever is in charge of the side walk maybe convince them to let you put an extension cord under those protective walk-covers go for it! | JeSuisUnAnanasYo | 2015-02-19 18:18:40 | 23 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

3obxxb | Any place to race a Tesla Model S around a circuit for newbies? | Okay let me be clear this would be the first time I ve ever done anything like this. But I d love to race around a circuit for hours trying to beat my own lap time in a Model S P85. Obviously I d play it safe and start safe and slow but each lap I d shave seconds off and gradually build up speed. I assume I d have someone next to me to guide me. I live in the UK but if perhaps answers could be given for other countries too if anyone else is interested. Seeing as the S is the safest car to do this in and is so fun to drive it d be one heck of a day. Dunno how much it d cost - maybe £1000 for the day? | twinbee | 2015-10-11 14:04:48 | 15 | cvvwp3a | trackdays.co.uk. Book a cheap airfield day take a ten minute rest after every few laps.

90c1dl | Any reason my VIN is so low? | I m a day 4 reservation holder who configured at the end of June and was contacted by my ISA on June 30. I keep seeing people taking delivery of M3 s in the 3XXXX and 4XXXX range but (unless I m reading this wrong) my VIN is 22XXX and I m not slated to take delivery until next week. Just curious if there s any speculation as to why this is. It seems like I m getting one that was manufactured significantly earlier than delivery. | JW008 | 2018-07-20 02:13:05 | 16 | e2parf7 | VIN number doesn t mean anything. They ll use them randomly so that they don t show their cards. I took delivery of mine and it was a 21xxx.

2gzvc9 | Any reason to prefer left-side power outlet to right-side power outlet in garage? | My electrical sub-panel is on the right side of my garage so it ll cost less to put the NEMA 14-50 power outlet on the right side -- as opposed to running cable across the ceiling to the garage s left side near the car s left-rear charge port. And the car s left-side charge port can always be within the recommended 15 feet of a right-side power outlet. So I m planning to put the power outlet on the right side unless I m overlooking some advantage to having a left-side power outlet or some disadvantage to having a right-side power outlet. Does anyone think a left-side power outlet is preferable to a right-side outlet? The left-side power outlet would cost 60% to 80% more than the right-side outlet but would still be affordable and I m willing to do it if there s any advantage to doing it. | Planned_Apathy | 2014-09-21 00:46:56 | 15 | cko0uh6 | Do you pull in frunk first or back in to charge? Really depends on how you want to park. Supposedly backing in at night and pulling out straight in the morning is safer than having to back out in the morning. That s something I ve seen on the TM TMC boards a couple times but not sure if there is actually data to support it. Side note: if you are backing in make sure the nose cone is far enough in. Some garage door sensors reflect off the cone (or aren t at that level in the first place) and don t stop the door even if nose is poking out a little bit - thus clipping the front. | dieabetic | 2014-09-21 00:57:36 | 8 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

5ipsod | Any rumors on (non-P)100D? | We plan to order our X before the end of the year to get lifetime supercharging. Our dream car is a 100D - Max range don t need to pay the $40k premium over a 90D for ludicrous mode. We know it ll happen but we re *hoping* it could happen before December 31st... but we also need to take delivery before April 1st and they re already late March so we re on the edge here. Last I heard the code for 100D was in the configurator and it was mentioned on the loan application but I haven t seen any progress on those rumors since. Are there any reputable rumors on whether or not 100D is imminent? | smithandjohnson | 2016-12-16 18:21:49 | 14 | dba258h | I was looking at code today actually didn t find anything new. Though I doubt they d do a slip up (so soon) like before. I m in the same boat to wanting the 100D. But the important thing is that you know you want it and know it s coming so then just wait. Even if you don t get in before Dec 31st and get it by April 1st you still get 1000~ miles of free charging and then still pay electricity which I presume will be below the national average. Don t worry so much about the Supercharging in the grand scheme of things unless you live on the road I don t think you have to worry about the little savings. Especially if you re traveling is 5% of the year. But... I personally haven t heard anything and I m here all day.

Living in the northeast with salt on the roads one of my biggest hesitations with the 3 is it can potentially rust. Has anyone here been through a few winter s showing any signs of rust anywhere?

5386sl | Any signs of AP2.0 hardware on P100D yet? | They re being delivered have any new owners checked camera housing etc.? | mustinjurphy | 2016-09-17 17:30:22 | 18 | d7r2jfg | > Any signs of AP2.0 hardware on P100D yet? Just my two cents: Pretty sure it would have been reported by Electrek.co by now if the P100D had any obvious AP2.0 hardware. It ll happen when it happens. My guess is that it will not be until *after* release of the Model 3. And then it will only be available for S X at first. With the amount of time they have spent on the 8.x software AP improvements I really doubt an all-new hardware update is right around the corner. But what do I know?

4gtweo | Any suggestions for a stop-gap car? | So I reserved a model 3. I also have a Prius which I love but that has a lease that runs out in October. So I need to find a car for the gap. Any of you auto enthusiasts have any suggestions for cars that have good mileage look nice drive nice (long commute) and that most importantly are likely to retain value over this unknown period of time so I hopefully don t end up upside down when my Tesla is ready? | Jshorr2 | 2016-04-28 13:10:52 | 14 | d2koys5 | Even if you decide not to lease lease prices are a good barometer for true cost to own. And cheap cars do not necessarily mean cheap true cost to own over 2 years. The new Chevy Spark while a truly impressive car for the price if you plan to own for 5+ years depreciates so fast initially that is would cost more over two years than a loaded Honda Civic. I m in the same spot. Here s my very random assortment of cars that I ve priced out so far for 2 year ownership. Vehicle|Est Cost to Own ---|--- 2012 Nissan Leaf| $4 351.18 2016 Fiesta SE 1L|$5 954.00 2006 Subaru WRX Private Party|$6 500.00 2014 Chevy Volt|$6 603.59 2016 Fiesta Titanium|$6 766.00 2016 Honda Civic EX-T 24 12|$7 402.77 2016 Ford Fiesta ST|$7 616.00 2016 C-Max Energi|$7 752.00 2016 Ford Focus EV|$7 890.00 2016 Honda Civic EX-L 24 12|$8 349.94 2016 Cruse Premier 24 12|$8 600.00 2016 Honda Civic Touring 24 12|$9 175.12 2016 Chevy Spark|$10 818.35 2017 Chevy Volt|$12 732.74 2012 Tesla Model S Private Party|$15 000.00 Assumptions: 24 months 12k miles yr IL Taxes Incentives Accounts for EV gas savings. I m currently leaning toward 2016 Civic or 1st gen Volt. If you re in California all these numbers are thrown out the window - lease a Spark EV or Leaf if you can fit their range in to your life. The California lease deals are truly unreasonable and you should take advantage before incentives are more reasonable or gone. I would personally get a Spark EV for 36 months and even if I get the Model 3 in 20 months - who cares. Just return it a year early or lend it to a friend for a year. It d be like $50 a month. | greygabe | 2016-04-28 14:15:00 | 9 | Tesla Model 3 Review |

h87xqh | Any thoughts on Model Y for older drivers? | My mother in law is 80 and refuses to stop driving and take Uber. She s out in the Los Angeles area on the other side of the country from us so we can t control her behavior very well. She wrecked her car recently and wants to buy a new one. I m thinking that a Model Y would be a safer choice than other cars that won t be able to upgrade to full self driving in the years ahead. But folks have a lot of horror stories about service and lemons. Would you recommend getting a Model Y for your grandparents? Pros and cons? | SumDumScientist | 2020-06-13 13:53:04 | 15 | fupc9cy | I bought my parents (with their money) a 2020 Lexus RX350 instead of a Model X which was definitely in their price range. The sole reason was that I didn t think they d tolerate the Tesla experience and that s with them being 15 minutes from me and 15 minutes from our Service Center. I can t imagine them (77 and 85) having to jump through the hoops to get ordinary service done let alone deal with the customer service issues that seem unique to Tesla at the moment. I really hate to say it as I m a huge fan of their vehicles and their greater goals but I cannot recommend the company itself to someone in their 80s unless they are already super excited about tech like Teslas. | TWANGnBANG | 2020-06-13 14:10:08 | 34 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I ll be getting the Standard Range 2020 Model 3. | luckytaurus | 2020-06-09 17:13:46 | 21 | ftibi5n | Biggest tip for a new owner: right away go into Settings and set Energy Display to “Percent” instead of “miles km”. #1 frustration for new owners is “OMG I drove 50 miles and range dropped 65 miles HELLLLLLP” and “charged yesterday to 310 miles today it charged to only 309 miles. IS MY BATTERY TOAST?!?” Just set it to show your battery charge in % and forget about it. The navigation will show you estimated battery remaining when you get to your destination and round trip and it s very accurate. Use that to gauge your range. | kkicinski | 2020-06-09 19:37:08 | 43 | Tesla Model 3 Review |

c52l5i | Any tips tricks advice to getting a Model 3 assigned & delivered quicker? Trying to make the $3 750 credit... | Firstly thank you to my fellow redditors and especially those on this Tesla Subreddit - you guys are awesome and have been amazingly helpful throughout my Tesla selection and purchasing process. So... I ordered my Model 3 Performance on Saturday (6 22 19) amd my Ownership advisor and rep at the dealership say they are trying to get a car assigned to me. Has anyone recently (last week or so) gotten the model 3? If so what was your timeline from order until pickup? Is there any other tips or tricks to speed up the process? In desperation I combed through the inventory model 3 s it would almost be a shame to settle for one though as they seem to be undiscounted. If only they came with free supercharging for life like the current inventory S& X models... Deadline is Sunday of course... Last of the month. Thanks!! Update: 6 26 19 Thank you all for your very insightful input. I went with a test drive car that was discounted about $1300 for 600 miles on it. I figured that $1300 + the $1800 tax credit (3k) made it worth it to just take it now. Hopefully I don t regret taking a test car but it seems like most have had good experiences with it. Tesla had actually called me and told me that they wouldn t have a custom one for a few weeks probably with my config. | JohnDF85 | 2019-06-25 04:40:47 | 25 | erzjeom | Tip #1: Buy it sooner. Tip #2: Have all of your paperwork and financing ready to go. Tip #3: Take delivery at a Tesla location and not at home. Tip #4: That inventory vehicle? That might be your best option. Tip #5: Buy a common default configuration or buy the most expensive one. That may be as attractive as #4 though. | drdabbles | 2019-06-25 04:46:04 | 28 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Model X appears to have v7.0 in the configurator as evidenced by the text about the Autopilot feature description which is different than the Model S description. I think it s reasonable to assume that Model S will have v7.0 shortly after the Model X ships (9 29) if not at the same time but I m betting after. The exact text for the Model X configurator is: Autopilot convenience features with self parking and automatic lane steering . http: cdn.arstechnica.net wp-content uploads 2015 09 Sig-X-Page-1.jpg Model S configurator text reads: Autopilot combines onboard sensors with real time traffic updates to automatically drive Model S on the open road and in rush hour traffic. Lane keeping and self-parking will be enabled with over the air software updates. * Traffic-aware cruise control * Lane keeping with automatic steering * Self-parking * Automatic high low beam headlights Lane keeping and self-parking are not currently features on the Model S - those are specifically supposed to be in v7.0 as per the original v7.0 reports from Tesla and the Model X documentation clearly indicates that it will exist on the shipping product so I think it s going to be available on or after 9 29 for Model S. | terrymisu | 2015-09-08 07:17:20 | 11 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
4z0wku | Any update on the powerwall 2.0? | Hello everyone I am thinking about acquiring a powerwall for my already existing system. Integration should be easily possible with the SMA SunnyBoy Storage. According to news sites Tesla announced in May this year that the new powerwall 2.0 will be announced in the next few weeks but I was not able to get any update on the date nor the product itself. Was there an update on the announcement date? Another question that I have is: It is possible to scale up to 9 powerwalls (theoretically). Is it also possible to have different versions of powerwalls connected (e.g. 1 Powerwall 1.0 2 Powerwalls 2.0)? Is there any information about this part available? If someone could provide some additional information it would be highly appreciated.

7k9a3m | Any way to leave the radio on for people in the car if I leave the driver s seat? | Even if I leave the key fob in the car when I get out of the drover s seat and close the door the radio shuts off leaving my wife and daughter with no entertainment. Is there a setting for this or can you turn it on using the mobile app? | Rsardinia | 2017-12-16 20:22:54 | 19 | drcidrt | There s no setting to keep it on but all they have to do is tap the touchscreen when you leave and it will stay on for up to 30 minutes | navinsiri | 2017-12-16 20:31:40 | 12 | Tesla phone key functionality |
ie5pw8 | Any way to turn off smart cruise control? It just put my family s life in danger. | Currently on the highway with my wife driving and the cruise control slammed on the brakes at 75mph. No beeps or warnings so I m assuming that it was the cruise control deciding that there was a car in front of us. Is there any way to revert to the dumb cruise control? I d prefer a toggle in the settings but I may try to see if tesla will just uninstall autopilot if not. There s absolutely no reason for a convenience feature to be so unreasonably dangerous. I have a 2015 Subaru with radar cruise control that works extremely well and has never decelerated abnormally like that. 2019 m3 | bolivar13 | 2020-08-21 21:27:35 | 19 | g2dcgxs | No you cannot currently turn off TACC and have the “dumb” cruise control back. The event you experienced is known as phantom braking and has unfortunately been around for a while. It s a lot better than it used to be but there s no complete fix. | thisisreadonly | 2020-08-21 21:44:45 | 46 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
ej28x2 | Any way to warm up battery quicker on model S? | Since it s winter right now regen braking isn t very functional but I noticed sometimes the battery is able to fully warm up and other times not. Are there any tricks around this? I know the car warms the battery up when you navigate to a supercharger and I ve noticed I m able to use full regen in these situations. I ve thought about pretending I m going to a supercharger to see if it warms up quicker but I m not sure it would be beneficial. Would range mode maybe help? I feel like the benefits I get from full regen are worth the extra energy to warm the battery. I m just not sure if my theory is correct or not on how it warms it up. Could use some advice here thanks! | stretch2099 | 2020-01-02 18:45:07 | 17 | fcv06mx | If it s like super cold in the morning and I have my car plugged in I ll just up the charge % a little bit before I leave so it starts to charge and then it s usually warmed up by the time I leave. As for warming it up while driving I have no idea. | Mdpickerel | 2020-01-02 19:06:19 | 15 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
3k11v1 | Any word on the Model S getting upgraded processors? | It s widely speculated that the X center console will be much faster has there been any mention of the S getting upgraded processors so that the UI browsing isn t as sluggish? Huge pet peeve of mine. | DocZo | 2015-09-07 23:45:04 | 30 | cutxprj | The X will have to have something new. However the question is will it be something compatible from the nVidia Tegra line so as to not split the software development OR will they go with something more mainstream like a Snapdragon 801 805 810 etc. My guess is that they are happy with the nVidia relationship and will continue on that track. I think Intel and AMD are out. Even though die sizes are always dropping their heat TDP is still too high and needs active cooling all the time. The Tegra3 in the S only occasionally needs the fan to whir up to the point you can hear it. While it would be nice to have something upgrade-able I don t think we will see anything that modular in the cars. They have a set functions list that they know the car needs to perform and a fairly good idea what they will need in the future. So processing needs will never out-pace the life-cycle of the vehicle itself. All that being said the S is atrocious when it comes to the current responsiveness of the touch screen so something will have to be done. But we all know that already. | supratachophobia | 2015-09-08 00:38:24 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
p48tao | Any word on when console like gaming will be added to the entertainment. | I know Tesla put the new AMD chips in the new s and x s that are on par with ps5... and even without that the 2021 standard is 64 gb ram and decent graphic cards.

5pmdmm | Any young adults reserve a model 3? | Hey all Just wanted to get some perspective in regards to other young adults who have reserved the model 3! Just had a few questions. How old are you? What do you do for a living salary? (if you re comfortable with that) What car do you currently drive? Do you live on your own? When did you reserve (before or after reveal) and did you always expect to get the car or was the reservation just as a precaution to have a good spot incase you were actually in a position to get the car once they start deliveries? And finally If you can answer how much are you expecting to place as a down payment? Sorry for so many questions! I just haven t seen any similar discussions. Thanks in advance! Edit: added salary as requested. Edit 2: so many responses!! Apparently I should consider going back to school and getting into engineering lol Thanks everyone you ve all been very helpful! | ShibbyBacon | 2017-01-23 04:49:09 | 38 | dcs9d8p | Hey! I am a Model 3 reserver. Age: 23 Occupation: Software Engineer Current car: 2015 Lexus IS250 Sport (Although before December I was driving a $1200 2002 Pontiac Sunfire... someone totaled that though!) I do not live on my own I currently split my time at my Dad s and at my girl friends I reserved the first day we could. I stood in line in Bellevue WA with a few friends and co-workers (some of which in my same age range). I was probably around the 200th in line As a down payment I expect to do around $20K. I have been putting aside $1 000 month since the reservation for it. I also plan on getting all of the bells and whistles. This is my first new car and I plan on keeping it for years to come. | darknavi | 2017-01-23 04:55:05 | 36 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
egl9rd | Anybody actually run out of battery? | Just wondering if anybody has actually run into a situation where they didn t have enough battery left to make it to their destination charger and had to get towed rescued as a result. What was the experience like and how much time money did it cost you? For context I m mostly curious because I see a lot of threads posts related to maximizing range and optimizing battery characteristics which all indicate some amount of lingering range anxiety. But I want to know if the anxiety is actually justified in that people are actually unable to get their destinations. Looking to collect anecdata on this topic. Thanks! | staktrace | 2019-12-28 03:07:57 | 75 | fc7edz5 | Someone did a massive year-long road trip with her daughter and showed up to a completely dead charger station. They were promptly towed to the next station at the company s expense. Can t speak for everyone but I try to maximize the life of the battery by keeping SoC as close to halfway as possible. Sometimes I venture out into places with zero infrastructure requiring almost 300 miles. In those situations you have to be aware of energy consumption but hypermiling can be kinda fun especially if you re traveling in an interesting area. (e.g. through mountains) Most people don t seem to think about it much. | UnitedMario | 2019-12-28 03:49:02 | 74 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

7jjszo | Anybody else concerned that the Tesla Semi [convoy] beats rail ? | If Tesla Semi becomes more cost effective than rail does that mean more congestion and damage to roadways as shippers currently using rail services migrate to trucks? I know not all goods can easily convert between road and rail shipping: (1) One railcar carries approximately three times more weight volume than a single 40t semi truck which makes it ideal for some products where maximizing weight volume is efficient for their model and (2) For those that already invested in rail infrastructure at their facilities it will likely continue to be more cost-effective for several years. But what if over the next decade enough shippers find it cost-effective to move to road transport that we see an impact to congestion and damage to the interstate system? Rail in the US is already an enormous logistics network with a proportionately small impact on public roadways. Rail travels dozens of miles or more in even the most congested areas without ever intersecting a public roadway. Rail reconstruction and maintenance is also conducted independently of the public roadway. (Anecdotes aside these are generalizations). And if one rail car is equivalent to 3 trucks and one truck s worth of damage to the interstate is equivalent to 700-9600 passenger cars then a shipment shifted from rail to truck would mean 2100-28800 new passenger cars worth of damage that would otherwise have been saved to the rail system. What are the major railroads going to do about this? What does any legacy industry do when faced with competition? They re going to dig their heels in an lean on congress to protect their interests with laws regulations protections subsidies and any other mechanism they can come up with to maintain the status quo. Hell there s a whole federal agency (FRA) built on the status quo. Railroads can t stop their clients from moving to road services but they can use these tactics to artificially inflate road costs deflate their own costs or supplement their losses. All the while the main problem remains unresolved. What SHOULD railroads do (but won t)? Commercial rail in the US is based on powerful locomotives hauling neutral cars trucks. This basic concept has remained essentially the same for the last 200 years. A new rail concept will need to move to electric remotely-controlled self-locomoted rail cars. There are limitations on what can be done about weight and materials savings as well as aerodynamic design but those are engineering challenges to overcome and not impossible boundaries. There may even be the possibility for a rail road hybrid car that can move itself off of a rail line and finish its route on a public road. There s a reason for Tesla to adapt their technology to a new rail concept but there s no incentive. The customer base in the rail industry is narrow and the likelihood that they ll adopt such a product is smaller still. Who else would do it? I can t see an incentive for an existing railcar or locomotive manufacturer to bother investing in such an enormous departure without a guaranteed return. Unless a well-financed startup is willing to take the risk I don t see a way out. | mjhuyser | 2017-12-13 15:04:32 | 28 | dr6vx8b | The cost of damage and congestion *should* be passed on to the trucking companies. Not that it necessarily will but that s the right way to solve the problem. For public roads tax trucks an amount that pays for the damage they do. If they still work out to be cheaper than rail then it s because they re truly a more efficient use of resources. If not then that means rail is the deserved winner. | mikeash | 2017-12-13 15:31:15 | 30 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6h01vn | Anybody here using the Hummer loophole to make their Model X more affordable? How does that work exactly? | I m a partner in a business and some partners have created special-purpose-corporations to hold their partnership for reasons not Tesla-related obviously. I ve never seen a need for it but was just thinking today that I might be missing a chance to actually make the X affordable... | garthreddit | 2017-06-13 14:02:41 | 20 | diuezq5 | Quick Google search shows this: You may have heard about a “$25 000 Hummer Tax Loophole” especially as it relates to the Model X but what is that and does it apply to you? Tax Section 179 allows businesses to take deductions for equipment and investments that are put into service. For vehicles there s a specific section that states cars used for 50% or more in your business can deduct up to $11 060 and slightly more for trucks. SUVs or Crossover Vehicles with GVWR above 6 000 lbs. get an even larger deduction of $25 000. This is the “Hummer Tax Loophole” as the Hummer weighed in at somewhere around 6 500 pounds. GVWR is the weight of the vehicle with passengers and or equipment. The Model X has a curb weight of 5 334 lbs. but it turns out that its GVWR is 6 768 pounds hence it qualifies for the Section 179 deduction. That said if you buy or lease a Model X and use it 50% or more for business you could deduct up to $25 000 in depreciation in the first year you acquire the vehicle versus depreciating it over time. The rationale is that businesses are incentivized to take the tax deductions up front there by allowing them to invest more into the business earlier. | MaxKW | 2017-06-13 14:31:10 | 27 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

If it s hardwired and built to code I don t think you need the GFCI.

eo7dbm | Anybody notice a dramatic change in maps? | I was driving last night and noticed that the maps displayed were dramatically different looking than they had ever been before. Roads appeared wider and my vehicle triangle was properly placed inside the road s width. The lines marking roads also seem heavier (fatter). I found a section of road that still appeared with the older styling just to make sure I wasn t going crazy. Then I thought maybe it was something to do with the road s classification. But there s an offramp from a state highway (101) that leads onto a road with more lanes (Kilton Rd.) and is very heavily traveled. Here s an image showing the differences.

b3fxx4 | Anybody want to take over updating the firmware version tracker spreadsheet? | I started it years ago after trading my HW1 car for a HW2 car to track the feature deltas between what my old car had and what my new car lacked (at the time) since not every feature capability is necessarily mentioned in the release notes (like local road AP lane change). Originally I made this as a Google Sheet so I could share it with my co-worker who owns a Model X but when it became apparent that other people would be interested in this information as well we made it more publicly available and it became a stickied link in this forum on the right column. Setting aside any debate over the quality of any of the features between the two platforms HW2+ cars have basically all of the same features that HW1 cars and more (except speed limit sign reading for some reason) since the 9.0 updates. As Tesla has been adding more and more features I ve been adding more and more rows to the spreadsheet to try to capture all the data but it s getting to be a bit much. New small release updates are coming out as often as a couple times a week and I don t have the bandwidth to dig through forum posts and looking at screen grabs to try to figure out which version added sentry mode and dog mode which one only had dog mode but pulled sentry which of those included the blindspot chimes which cars those features even worked on etc. My whole purpose of creating it in the first place was to track HW2+ as it approached feature parity with HW1. It s pretty much there so this is less of a priority for me these days. Does anyone else want to get added as an editor so the spreadsheet can be maintained better going forward? I think there s still value in it but in the last few months I haven t been updating it to the level of detail that I was able to in the past. Thanks. | Byshop303 | 2019-03-20 19:02:08 | 39 | eiza0l1 | I would like to help with this if we can get a shared spreadsheet with the Mods.

Has anyone used [Battmobile Batteries](https: www.battmobilebatteries.com product-page cleaned-revised-lithium-12v-battery-for-tesla-mode) in their car?

iz6amd | Anyone buy a used Model S from Tesla.com directly? Looking for insight. | I m debating on buying a used Model S and Tesla.com has a good selection of used lease returns to choose from. The problem is they don t post actual pictures and you can t actually look at the car before you buy AND they require a $500 non-refundable deposit to get started. The benefit of buying from them is that they have a good 4 year 50000 mile warranty on a 2017 model. I m curious though to hear from anyone who has gone through the process. Are there surprises and the car looked worse than expected? Sure wish they had a quick 5 min video walk-around of each car they are selling. | sdtriathlete | 2020-09-24 21:30:41 | 19 | g6h1ldh | You can get actual photos by talking to a delivery specialist. They fix and warranty everything mechanical. Cosmetic is as-is (unless it s something major). The process can be rocky. You might put down your deposit not hear anything for 3 weeks then one day they call and say come pick it up tomorrow. Communication is hit or miss. People often complain about the process but the product is so good they don t care once they get it. The used car warranty is really really good. They basically fix anything that breaks for 4 years for free no questions asked. And usually they come to your house to do it. This subreddit has a huge hardon for model 3s so you are going to get a bunch of people telling you to buy a model 3 instead. The 3 has a lot of advantages but the S is a lot bigger and more luxury-sedan like. S is way sexier 3 is kind of goofy looking on the outside and that matters to some people. It s best to test drive both before you buy if you can. | lmaccaro | 2020-09-24 21:49:43 | 34 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
74ghek | Anyone buy a used model S from a car dealer before? | I noticed they are a good bit cheaper than the CPOs You still get the remaining 8 year unlimited mile warranty correct? Thinking this could work out better than a CPO makes me wonder why someone would have traded in a tesla though for a ICE car. Makes me think they could have had some issues with the car | BlueManifest | 2017-10-05 14:57:10 | 13 | dny3krl | People sell their old tesla to whoever will give them the most tradein. Then maybe they end up at auction. Used car lots have no idea what they are selling. Even less in the case of a Tesla. | lmaccaro | 2017-10-05 15:33:06 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
76jnef | Anyone care to share stories about listing their Tesla on Turo? | I ve been thinking about buying a Tesla for the sole purpose of listing on Turo. I figured the income would eventually fund a Tesla of my own (to hog and NOT share). I ve been tossing the idea in my head since I first heard of Turo. So now it turns out a guy in California is doing just that and has two of them that ve paid for themselves with cash leftover. I see it almost as an investment and understand that renting a car will lead to damage high wear and tear... but if it earns money (and pays for the car note) I won t have the heartache of destroying a beloved Tesla. Talk me out of this idea? | Alpha_Tech | 2017-10-15 15:43:15 | 17 | doeh0or | https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 76ikx2 wife_and_i_featured_on_bi_article_on_buying_2 ?st=J8SY2157& sh=7652b4db The exact people you re talking about ? | Gunnernaut7 | 2017-10-15 16:07:43 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
cam4ku | Anyone come from an AMG or similar? Should I wait for the Q3 refresh? | I have a 2018 E63S AMG Wagon and it s nice and all but am really thinking I want to go electric. I test drove the models but a test drive will never be a perfect indicator since it s only a few miles. I actually really liked the model 3 but have some concerns about noise and overall comfort. I will be losing 0.2 seconds 0-60 so that s not an issue in terms of speed. I m lower extremity amputee and have a spinal fusion so comfort is important. Saying all of that and being used to a higher luxury driving experience I m leaning toward an X but there s the supposed refresh coming this quarter and would hate to drop 120k on a car and a month later have a major refresh come that in my opinion is needed for the interior of the X and possibly range. I want a cleaned up dash Vented seats added back and am praying they put a HUD in. You don t know how much you use and enjoy a HUD until you don t have it. Plus that cup holder placement is trash. I have a deposit on a Rivian but that s not for another 1.5 years and I really don t need a truck like I thought. If the refresh gets the X close to 400 miles and a tidy interior I would buy it today. tldr: Have super fast super comfy wagon want electric. Want to hear from people who have switched. | account128927192818 | 2019-07-08 15:00:59 | 15 | et9k7le | > You don t know how much you use and enjoy a HUD until you don t have it. I had a HUD in my last car and don t miss it at all. It was useless if you wear polarized sunglasses. It was nice at night I guess. I do miss my air conditioned seats though. I hope Tesla gets their shit together on that. | run-the-joules | 2019-07-08 15:15:07 | 20 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
6nshs8 | Anyone else a car guy | So I have had miatas corvettes and love other cars such as skylines and other jdm cars. But I can t help but keep looking at the tesla they just look so beautiful and the idea of auto pilot and summon are so cool to me. | zexoHF | 2017-07-17 11:32:46 | 39 | dkbwp61 | I m a pretty big car guy. I love Teslas and plan on getting a Model 3 whenever it becomes available to me. It would make for a really good daily driver and winter car. Autopilot on the way to work sounds awesome. I may get a lot of shit for this but I don t really see myself replacing my fun car with an EV for a while. I love all of the benefits of an EV. But there are a few things that are holding me back that I hope to get better in the future. The main two are weight and sound. Battery packs are heavy as hell. Sure they can drastically lower the COG but more weight is bad weight. I will also have a hard time parting with the sound. It is one of my favorite things about driving. I will definitely love my Tesla and drive it a lot. But my Corvette isn t going anywhere. | Fugner | 2017-07-17 12:57:18 | 27 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
504zdk | Anyone else annoyed at how many different charging station companies there are? | Maybe minor rant but I now have 3 different RFID tags I have to carry around: chargepoint blink and now greenlots. I still need to pick up an evgo one at some point. Feels like it would be much simpler if one of them could be universal or if maybe they could all just accept a CC and move on with it. | needaname1234 | 2016-08-29 13:25:29 | 25 | d715qpb | I don t use them a lot but I just keep the cards tags in with the adapter and just pull the right one when I need it. | Ifuqinhateit | 2016-08-29 13:27:43 | 14 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
ej17w3 | Anyone else completely frustrated trying to reach Tesla service via phone? | Have a 2 year old Model X that needs service. Have a few clarifying questions for Tesla service here in Westchester NY (Mt Kisco Center). Looks like Tesla has removed ANY means to connect to the local service center by voice. The call center folks are not particularly helpful since they don t have specifics about the local service center (eg parts inventory) and their scripted answer is to direct everyone to the Tesla App. No one from the local center calls back. Ever. Quite frustrated to have to deal with this for a $100K car. Rant over. | index2020 | 2020-01-02 17:31:05 | 302 | fcuqnf4 | Rant aside schedule service via the app and include your questions in the description. Service advisors read through appointment requests while preparing work orders so someone will reach out. You can also email the service center but it s hit or miss depending on the SC. Edit: I ve received some angry DMs accusing me of shilling for Tesla so I feel like I need to clarify: I am not trying to defend the current service setup and performance I m simply trying to help the OP by explaining what has worked for me in the past. Please channel your outrage into something productive. | thisisreadonly | 2020-01-02 17:35:37 | 168 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
bzprsx | Anyone else disappointed with their P100D? | I hate making this thread please don t downvote me to oblivion I d really like to see if anyone agrees with me. I took delivery of my Tesla 30 days ago and aside from a couple of days messing around with Ludicrous Mode even that has now got a bit boring and I can t quite point my finger on why.. I don t like how the car rides I m coming from an Audi RS6 that I absolutely loved before that I had a Nissan GTR which I didn t like at all and before that I had a BMW M4 which I positively despised - I m definitely capable of disliking cars most others seem to love. Specifically about my Tesla I m having trouble adjusting to how big it feels both inside and when you re driving. I feel like I m in a room which is weird because I didn t feel like this in my RS6 which I think might be longer. It just feels so wide I feel like I m driving a very fast boat. I don t like the steering either it s not as sharp or precise as any other performance vehicle I ve owned it s closer in feel to my Range Rover which is an odd sensation considering how high up the RR is. On the subject of my Range Rover the Tesla feels really spartan in terms of amenities. I spent £107 000 on this car which is 13 less than my RR but my RR feels like a royal chariot in comparison. The acceleration is breathtakingly fast and everyone else I ve demonstrated it to is blown away which certainly makes it fun my problem is that to me it feels like when I m taking off in a plane it doesn t feel like a car. My RS6 was a brutal shove in the back and the power built as you accelerated - the Tesla by comparison is so savage and linear that it feels like you re on on rails - theres a sort of detachment from everything. This is my first electric vehicle and I m wondering if this is the issue is there an acclimatisation adjustment period to this as it is such a massive paradigm shift. I m really missing something here and I can t place my finger on it. Don t get me wrong there s things I love about it: the tranquility inside the cabin. The spartan nature of it does make everything beautifully serene and calming especially in built up areas. The instant power is extremely useful - more so that I d have guessed. & #x200B Does anyone feel the same here or have I grossly misinterpreted the car I thought I was buying? & #x200B Edit: why downvote? It s a legitimate discussion you babies. | [deleted] | 2019-06-12 10:58:47 | 15 | equzmsd | Mine is good. My P100D is my 6th electric car. I get a new car almost every year and don t have any particular loyalty. Everything else currently on the market is worse. I use to have Mercedes AMG and other v8 cars. I liked the power and feel but never cared for the loud noises so EVs are a good match. I like the linear detached feeling of acceleration. It feels electronic like the future. All the combustion performance cars feel like antiques like steam trains huffing and puffing. I guess it gives them “personality” or a “soul” but to me they are just old analog or industrial revolution machines compared to digital. You also realize the non-linear feel is due to limitations of their old technology limited power band requiring a transmission. I do look forward to future cars with more opulent interiors and better quality but Tesla prioritizes technology first and is the leader. The other manufactures are just getting started and are at least a generation behind Tesla. Keep in mind the S is a first generation platform developed when they had no tier 1 supplier support or were in demand as a top employer of engineers. The Model 3 is much more a driver s car but is intended to be a different class. The S P100D has been out for many years. There are millions of videos and you could have taken a test drive or rented it for a while. None of the things you mentioned should have come as a surprise. If you didn t like it you had 7 days from delivery to return it which is much more generous than any other manufacturer. | ThaiTum | 2019-06-12 11:20:29 | 12 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
4kgre7 | Anyone else ever have a negative experience at a Tesla store? | First off I ll admit that I might be a little salty whiny and acting a bit victimized but i just want to express how I felt. I m a Model 3 reservation holder. I had planned weeks ago to attend Comic Con in Kansas City today and knowing they have a Tesla store in town I figured we (my dad and me) could see about test driving one while we could so I submitted my info on line and waited for my call to set up an appointment. The thing said they would call today or tomorrow and today and tomorrow came and went and there was no call. I did this a few times the last couple weeks and they never called. Whatever oh well that happens. Still want to go to the store to check out the cars. After we re done at the con we head over to the Tesla store which for those who don t know it is in a pretty upscale shopping area of Kansas City. Outside they had a Model X and inside there was a Model S. We re checking out the cars and looking around the store but at no point do we see an actual employee except for the guy outside showing a family the Model X. About 15 minutes later after looking at every square inch of the Model S we just decide to walk out but that s when we noticed that there s a bunch of people inside holding iPads who we didn t really notice before. Turns out they were employees. No one seemed interested in speaking with us even after asking a couple questions so we just walked over to look at the Model X on our way out. While walking outside a couple who appear rather wealthy walk in the store and are immediately greeted and asked if they wanted some water and are told to check out the cars and ask if they have any questions. That s when we got the impression that we were essentially ignored because we don t look like we can afford the cars. Both wearing jeans and a t-shirt and not carrying bags from upscale stores. Is this common practice at the stores? Are the employees expected to make a judgement call as to who they speak to and who they don t? If so what is it they look for? As the Model 3 is more affordable I figure they should expect that your more average middle class folk can be considered legitimate customers interested in getting a look at the vehicles. Sorry for the long winded rant. Just needed to vent a bit. | mprhusker | 2016-05-22 02:35:56 | 14 | d3evulq | I was in my local Tesla service center (that doubles as a show room) today picking up my car from a minor warranty covered issue. I m a middle aged white dude who has been a loyal customer for 2.5 years. In walked a young black dude reeking of nicotine dressed shabbily after double-parking his shitty hand painted Chevy with rented rims in the parking lot. He had a very stereotypically ghetto speaking pattern. From my observation he was treated just as well as me and the other prospects in the room politely and attentively. They offered him a test drive in a Model X which he declined. The plural of anecdote is not data but from my observation your treatment was about the same as I got when I walked into an Accura dealer a few years back wearing shorts and a Tshirt. Guess who has no interest in spencer setting foot in an Accura dealership again? I | bonedaddy-jive | 2016-05-22 04:30:42 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6pp8v1 | Anyone else experience Model 3 Reservation disappearing from their account? | So I think this is directly related to the [changes we saw to the My Tesla home page here.](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 6pkhr6 mytesla_page_for_model_3_reservation_holder ) I have both a Model 3 Reservation as well as a more or less joke beginning steps of a Model S reservation back when I dreamed about getting one of those. Anyway the Model S reservation sections shows up just fine but my Model 3 is nowhere to be found on the home page. As far as I can tell everything is fine since navigating directly to https: www.tesla.com mytesla profile?rn=RNXXXXXXXXX will still take you directly to the vehicle page but it s still disconcerting nonetheless. [Here s what my page looks like now.](http: imgur.com a nU6oV) Has anyone else encountered this? | blasterdude8 | 2017-07-26 16:34:54 | 18 | dkr2ati | Mine is still there.

ec4qod | Anyone else experiencing really hot air being blown on their feet (to the point it starts burning if HVAC is not turned off) | This past week I started getting really hot air blown onto my foot while driving. The weird thing is that this starts after the car is already conditioned and after I ve been on the road for over half an hour. The temperature is set to 68°F and the HVAC is on auto. If I allow it to keep going my right foot actually starts burning because it s too much heat. This wasn t happening up to the week before last week and it s been cold here for the past two months so it s not caused by a change in weather. It has happened multiple times for the past week but only after driving for a while (the car interior does not feel colder when this starts happening). Since it is my first winter with the Model 3 I m not sure whether it s normal behavior or a bug with the latest update. I m on version 2019.40.2.1 since early last week. It s also worth noting my left foot doesn t get blasted with heat because the air duct is right above the accelerator and brake pedals and doesn t reach all the way to the dead pedal. | hrds21198 | 2019-12-18 00:27:43 | 65 | fb9e58q | YES! Since 2019.40.2.1 installed it seems This is my second winter with my Model 3 so its not the car they changed something for sure. | TheOtherPete | 2019-12-18 02:30:17 | 31 | Tesla HVAC Functionality |

33ztej | Anyone else feel this is unnecessarily misleading? | On the website for the Model S you can pick the 3 different models. It claims a certain price under it but then to the side you see the true cost of the vehicle. It gets away with it by saying you save this much over 5 years by not using gas which happens to be $10 000 therefore deducting the $10 000 from under the different models prices. | KyleTheTechie | 2015-04-27 04:09:36 | 78 | cqpyc36 | This kind of marketing flimflam cheapens their image and makes me think of used car dealers.
