b84k9y | Anyone else find damage like this from delivery? | Passenger-side just under the door area. Driver s side plastic is scratched but not ripped off like this side. Unfortunately I did not see this when I was actually picking up the car on Friday but noticed Sunday as I was wiping the car down. Anyone else have this same issue at pu? Anything I should be aware of with my first service call? & #x200B \*\*\*\* EDIT - Post Fix \*\*\*\* Wanted to follow-up my original post. Took the car into my local service center on 4 2 and they took pictures said they d order parts and set me appointment up for 4 9 to have the parts installed all free. Arrived for appointment on 4 9 and center said they had no record of my appointment and the parts had not arrived yet. However they apologized that I did not get a call about the delay. They then said that they did actually have the same part now in stock though it was intended for a different person s car. They just put those on my car and said they d take care of the other person. While this was nice gesture to fix an immediate issue it does highlight that regular issue I see with Tesla and their attention to detail or overall customer service. They really need to invest time understanding what other premium dealerships do to maintain a high bar on customer service because it seriously hurts their brand. Though I am happy that they are willing to acknowledge their mistakes and fixed my issue without cost to me beyond time. & #x200B & #x200B https: reddit.com link b84k9y video g38ci963jop21 player | superchunked | 2019-04-01 16:22:13 | 21 | ejvsm76 | Go through the car and make sure you find any other issues.

59zcx7 | Anyone else frustrated at tonight s event? | Perhaps I m more frustrated because I decided to attend. The livestream probably felt fine but the actual event was a complete cluster. From the 1 hour line of Teslas (due to valet required parking and poor entry route) to the event time being switched last minute to Elon s presentation not feeling prepared or complete (what s the price? How do I get it? What maintenance is required? There were so many questions left unanswered) Just curious if anyone else left frustrated. I love the product I think it s gorgeous and I ll be buying it. But the event felt like disaster. I wish I had stayed at home and watched the stream with a cup of scotch. | WhyDontTheyAMA | 2016-10-29 06:54:57 | 42 | d9ck3us | I think they are intentionally withholding details about the solar roof particularly pricing until the merger is voted on and consummated if that does indeed happen. That is why they provided pricing for the new Powerwall which is happening regardless of the vote outcome but not the solar roof. They revealed the solar roof now to give voters some idea of what they should expect if the companies were to merge. They also previously teased that Panasonic will be making solar panels in the Buffalo factory but didn t provide much detail on the arrangement because it is only a letter of intent at this point. This is also why they revealed the solar roof on a Friday evening because shareholders would tune in but most other people would be getting ready for the weekend. In other words Elon was trying to sell voters on the idea not customers. He is still hedging in case the vote does not go through. If Tesla and SolarCity shareholders vote in favor of the merger I would expect more detail about Tesla s solar aspirations to come out at that point. | misfitshlb | 2016-10-29 08:25:02 | 74 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
4ukckr | Anyone else getting calls from Tesla? They re trying to get me into a 60 instead of waiting for the 3. | I got a voicemail this morning: Hi Killer! This is so-and-so calling from Tesla Motors. We just want to congratulate you on your Model 3 reservation and we wanted to take an opportunity to talk about the new battery 60 on the Model S. Better price point and might be better suited to your needs and then you wouldn t have to wait for the 3. Call us back and we can talk about it! Anyone else getting these? Seems like they re really trying to alleviate demand for the 3. | Killerzeit | 2016-07-25 19:11:32 | 69 | d5qg0b8 | I think it s more that they want to sell cars now instead of having people waiting around for the model they don t make yet. | majesticjg | 2016-07-25 20:13:52 | 75 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
6q5vu8 | Anyone else going to rewatch the previous Tesla reveals aka Previously on Tesla Motors | When shows I watch (Game of Thrones Silicon Valley Westworld) have a new season coming up I usually rewatch the previous seasons to recap and refresh my memory on what happened previously. Anyone else planning to do the same sort of thing for the reveal tonight? Watch the Model S Model X and Model 3 unveils again before watching the season finale tonight? | setheryb | 2017-07-28 18:49:55 | 36 | dkurumr | Already did... last night > _< | Lancaster61 | 2017-07-28 18:52:37 | 21 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6il83t | Anyone else had their motor completely die? | I m writing to see if this has happened to anyone else and crowd source some solutions. **tl dr** My motor has died twice in several days. New drive unit repair didn t take. Worried about driving my car anywhere now. Customer service has been VERY DISAPPOINTING. **UPDATE: 6 21 9:45 EDT** - Bummer thread hijack. Called service center back several times no answer. Assume they re busy strategizing. **UPDATE: 6 21 13:00 EDT** - Talked to service. Didn t really get a warm fuzzy regarding the severity of this issue. Told to call roadside and get vehicle towed back in. **UPDATE: 6 22 7:20 EDT** - My car shifts into neutral so the service center can come tow the car themselves. In the same trip they re bringing a rental car to me. **UPDATE: 6 24 9:06 EDT** - After hearing NOTHING from the service center since towing my car on 6 22 I decided to call. I was told they re ordering ANOTHER drive unit. At this point I questioned them - what makes you think another drive unit will fix this problem? You JUST replaced the drive unit. They service center rep told me that the ticket must be stale and that drive unit order was from the previous work and they ll update me Monday. I am not impressed. At all. (Thurs 6 15) Coming home from a night out with the family. Exiting the local highway on an uphill exit ramp. As I accelerate there is a clunk and all power is lost. Drive letters (P R N D) go red and I get a popup to pull over immediately. Not the best place to pull over on an exit ramp. I was able to evacuate the family to a service road. I immediately called roadside. The picked the car up in an hour. Local service center worked all weekend and I got a rental car (boo) an Infinit QX60. Not quite the same as riding around in my 14 Model S85. Diagnosis: drive unit failure. Replaced. (Tues 6 20) Tesla brings the car back to me at work and takes the rental. Nice touch. As I m driving home on THE SAME EXIT RAMP the letters briefly flash red but no loss of power. Now I m worried. (Wed 6 21) Drive to work in the morning planning out where I will test the acceleration issue to have the least impact on my day. Not 5 mi from the house I being merging onto a busy highway with cars behing me. As I accelerate to merge letters go red complete loss of power. Luckily I was not hit and managed to continue down the clover leaf. After what seemed like forever (probably 5 seconds) the drive letters turned white and power was restored. I immediately went home. I already have a call into the local service center to figure out our next steps forward but I m losing confidence. I know this is only one iteration of repair but both times were potentially life threatening. I do not feel safe driving the car to work to the service center or more importantly to pick up my children from daycare. I m hoping for good things from the local service center (Rockville MD) Has anyone else had a similar issue? What was the resolution? How was it handled? | basszero | 2017-06-21 11:31:40 | 59 | dj73jnn | If you don t have a dashcam I would get one asap.

74nedc | Anyone else have difficulty getting autopark to find a space? | On HW2 I almost never get the P icon to appear in the dash. I know it s only for reverse but I ve only seen it work once. Does this happen for anyone else? Is there some trick? | entropy413 | 2017-10-06 12:51:14 | 26 | dnzm9y5 | As long as there s space between two cars and you re going slowly then it should detect the spot. My car is always detecting spots even when I have no intention of parking. | navinsiri | 2017-10-06 12:57:35 | 12 | Smart Summon Limitations |
53rciz | Anyone else have issues with the map? | I ve got a 2014 S 85 and for months now I ve noticed a very irritating issue with the map on the console. The blue line disappears or is on a completely different route than the mini nav on the dash and the turn by turn directions. Has anyone else seen this? If so we re you able to get it fixed (and how)? | z0mbietime | 2016-09-21 03:43:32 | 13 | d7vmjbu | I get the same issue with the blue line disappearing every couple months.

mfo40d | Anyone else have long distance commute and Supercharge 5-6 times per week? How s your battery doing? | I drive about 600 miles per week and it requires me to charge several times per week at supercharging stations. Sometimes I charge because it s convenient even though my battery is still about 60%. First charge of the week is to 90-100%. Anyone else do this and notice any serious loss in battery capacity? Is this something I should worry about? 2018M3LR Dual Motor. Thanks! Edit: Thanks everyone for the tips advice and general conversation. I thought I had a situation very normal to a lot of people but I m realizing it is less common after reading some of these comments (but still relevant to others). I have done quite a bit of research on my own but even still so many of you have great advice. I won t hesitate when posting again. | Stricky92 | 2021-03-29 12:07:24 | 252 | gsoxgaw | Generally not recommended for the obvious reasons but look up Tesloop and their battery degradation. They run a taxi service from CA to Las Vegas and have only been supercharging their cars. Some are over 200K miles. | venture70 | 2021-03-29 14:45:12 | 192 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

ejgoaj | Anyone else have problems with Autopilot after 40.50.1? | I ve seen a ton of posts about the voice commands but not much around autopilot being terrible after that update (only one comment on a forum on Tesla s site). I updated to 40.50.7 recently and so far on regular roads it hasn t been terrible but I have yet to test on highways where the real issues were. On launch of Autopilot it would *immediately* jerk to the right of the lane and just keep going to the point that I d have to take control. It happened every single time without fault. Anyone else have these issues? | DeezNutterButters | 2020-01-03 15:13:15 | 36 | fcxp5pc | I haven t had that specific problem but on all of the 40.50 releases mine has noticeably wandered around in the lane and doesn t hold the center of the lane as well around curves. It sometimes ping pongs so bad that it s uncomfortable and I also worry that it looks like I m drunk driving. | noiamholmstar | 2020-01-03 16:16:45 | 22 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
7kuunq | Anyone else have their autopilot hit a car? | The vehicle in front of me went into the left turn lane but didn t quite pull in all the way. I ll admit that I was also tricked because I thought he d pull up a bit further because he had the space but stopped short. The Tesla was also tricked and ended up hitting the car. This this a common issue with autopilot? Turns out Porsche 911 bumpers aren t cheap! | h1myname1sdav1d | 2017-12-19 17:44:17 | 63 | drhb00u | While technically you sound at fault I would actually fight this to put some responsibility on the 911 driver if he was improperly blocking a lane of traffic by stopping short.

ejkecr | Anyone else have their new model 3 die while driving...now on 2 separate occasions? Anyone successfully get a rental car? | Long range non-performance model 3 received the week before thanksgiving. 3 weeks into ownership became non-functional on the freeway (got off to a surface street before it died thankfully) and towed to service center. Based on warnings they thought it was a wiring problem with the 12V system secured some connection and replaced the 12V. In the shop for 2 days with no loaner and 3 Uber credits. Same thing happened on my way into work today (6 weeks into ownership). Thankfully my wife was off and kids weren t with me. As before was working perfectly until I got multiple warnings (12V safety restraint system parking brake automatic vehicle hold) and car began to shut down. Had to be towed to service center. Anyone have something similar happen? Maybe quality control issues trying to deliver so many cars before 1 JAN? I LOVED the car on the days it s worked don t get me wrong. But this is getting ridiculous. I also can t afford to only have one functioning car in the family and so far the service center is only offering 2 measly Uber credits for alternate transportation. Anyone successfully lobby for a rental car at least? The idea of paying for my own rental car with a 6 week old but non-functioning $50k in the shop (for the 2nd time!) just seems ridiculous to me. | Armydds | 2020-01-03 19:33:11 | 27 | fcyjpt8 | Your 1 good visit away from lemon law.

6o1rhh | Anyone else having issues with voice controls? | I hate voice controls on cars. Usually. You end up saying the same command 20 times and then get frustrated and end up bending over and clicking a button. Tesla was different. Their controls (the few they had) actually worked. It was awesome. I used them almost exclusively. I can t pinpoint when it happened but a few weeks ago these controls went to shit. Basically nothing works anymore and its frustrating. Is it just my car or has anyone else noticed a degradation? I really wish Musk could get over his tiff with Bezos and just use Alexa voice control. Elon you don t have enough engineers to do NLP AND build awesome cars right now it s ok. | RunninADorito | 2017-07-18 16:10:59 | 11 | dkdy3ra | Do you have a 3G car?

if83mm | Anyone else having problems logging into the mobile app API? | Anyone else seeing issues this AM? After latest (software version 2020.32.2) update cannot login via mobile app or 3rd party apps. I can however login to the website. It has been this way for the last hour or so (started at 10:15am) I assume it cannot just be me.

7431md | Anyone else having trouble reaching Tesla headquarters to speak to someone for local service appointments? | I haven t been able to get in touch with anyone this week the service appointment line just places you on indefinite hold. Contacted my local sales department (both service and sales at same location) and they said they could not transfer me to anyone in the service department. Supposedly all service calls are handled by Tesla HQ now and a customer cannot call into their local branch directly to speak with someone from service. | reefine | 2017-10-03 20:10:25 | 17 | dnv3rbl | I ve submitted my info to Tesla Energy approx 4 times requesting a solar panel (not solar roof) quote indicating interest in Powerwall too.

6pl1ou | Anyone else hoping Tesla will reveal the total number of reservations so far at the reveal? | Tesla has clarified that even with cancellations there has always been a net increase in reservations. So to me it would be big news if they did indeed hit 400 000 or 500 000 reservations. I know it could turn some people away to know just how big the line is but it would also manage expectations. To me it s just love to hear the reporting on 500 000 reservations x an average selling price of $42 000 | Strood | 2017-07-26 02:13:23 | 89 | dkq6465 | Bet they won t.

hazv8o | Anyone else is becoming mental waiting for battery day?? | Apart from my absolute lack of patience I think Tesla is failing on one of their principles. They usually don t wait for any motor show or convention to show off (and thats a really good strategy) but they keep delaying it when they can perfectly stream it and get to the public as effective as always. | vicchc | 2020-06-17 20:51:18 | 29 | fv5w6gb | Soon™ | mishengda | 2020-06-17 20:57:09 | 29 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6qodkx | Anyone else luck out with VW TDI buyback timing and the model 3 release? | We bought my wife a 2013 Jetta TDI in Jan 2013 for her 120 mile round trip commute that she had for 3 years. It was nice she averaged 45mpg only had to fill up every 4-5 days. In 4 years we put 133k on the car and had virtually no problems with it. Now we plan on selling it back to VW. The buyback deadline for our VW is 9 1 18 and the online calculator expects us to get $21 600 back from our $25 500 purchase price (don t know the accuracy of this calculator.) I reserved a Model 3 as soon as the online form was available on 3 31 and we plan on getting the first release version. Tesla states we may get delivery Dec 17- Feb 18. So this works out perfectly drive the Jetta until my Tesla is available and then recoup ~20k from that and use it towards the model 3. I didn t plan for it to happen so perfectly but I ll take the good fortune anyway! | CheesyBadger | 2017-07-31 13:23:58 | 18 | dkyrcie | Good plan but please don t make any financial decisions based on Tesla s delivery estimate. I placed an order for an S 85D the night dual motor was ~~released~~ announced. Late December was the estimate. Then early Jan. then late Jan. Then early Feb. Then late Feb. Then early March. Then late March. Then late March. Then early April. Then back to late March. I picked it up on April 1.

I first started using Firmware v5 in 2013 and they drastically change it almost every year. I like larger maps but when they made the map the primary screen there were people that complained about it. They liked to drive with the camera on all the time and the music on the lower part.

qm0axt | Anyone else notice regen braking randomly taking a couple of seconds to engage? | I ve owned my 2019 Model 3 Performance for 2+ years now. In the last 6 weeks I have noticed my regen braking which is set to the strongest setting (the setting that lets me drive with one pedal most of the time) randomly not engaging for 2-3 seconds after letting go of the gas pedal. It does this randomly within a single trip (eg out of 20 gas pedal releases regen braking will not engage 1 or 2 times). This is super unnerving a bit scary bc I then have to hit the brakes when I m not anticipating having to. And it is not weather related (happens in warm weather and no ‘dots on the accelerator braking line on the screen) and I m at 60% charge so not charge level related as well. Like I said if happens within a trip so those issues are controlled for. I haven t been able to find this in forums so asking here in case others have any thoughts. Thanks! EDIT: my build is 36.5.5 EDIT #2: Based on this thread it s clear many owners are experiencing this issue. If anyone figures out the culprit or gets any feedback from Tesla please do post here or DM me and I ll update the body of this post for the benefit of everyone. And btw it happens to me on dry smooth surfaces at low speeds so road conditions is not a factor either. This never used to happen before. | zoo32 | 2021-11-03 18:03:29 | 103 | hj74f3k | I just noticed something funny too with my 2019 Model S Performance braking - it felt like I slid but now I m thinking it was the re-gen letting up.

jvw6mv | Anyone else notice the HomeLink garage door opener proximity auto-open close doesn t work in reverse? | I ve had the HomeLink garage door module installed in my Model 3 for a few months now and I enjoy it very much. Recently I ve had my significant other staying over on the weekends where she parks in my driveway making normal 3-point turn to back into my garage difficult so I ve decided to back into my driveway from the entrance.

n8fv1d | Anyone else noticed a slight reverb in the TM3? | I had a test drive the other day of a model 3 LR and as soon as we got in the vehicle my wife pointed out that there was a noticeable reverb when we were talking (not sure it s the right word but it s what google translate translates it to). It sounds like we re talking in a large empty bathroom. I have never experienced this in anynother car even when it s turned off so the engine isn t downing it out. | Grippler | 2021-05-09 14:56:12 | 14 | gxihyxc | Definitely don t have that effect in my Aug18 Dual Motor Model 3.

a7afiz | Anyone else randomly find Model 3 window down? 46.2 | Parked my Model 3 last night (in the garage thankfully) and plugged it in. When I got in this morning I found the front passenger side window was all the way down. I m obviously not driving around in the snow with the windows down and nobody else had access to the car. Hopefully a one time thing but huge potential for problems if it happened while I wasn t home. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

8xpbyi | Anyone else request NO PREP before taking delivery? | My PPF ceramic installer suggested I request no prep for my Model 3 delivery. I ll be taking the car to him the very next day for paint correction PPF and ceramic. My delivery advisor said she added to the note that I ll be taking the car for aftermarket detailing. Has anyone else done this? Was the car filthy? Is it much harder to inspect for defects? How was the interior? | David722 | 2018-07-10 13:55:25 | 48 | e24lrbp | I asked for a light wash only no buffing or wax as I was heading straight to paint correction ppf ceramic. It was clean and not any real swirl marks or anything to make more correction needed. Edit - the interior was spotless. | tim-sutherland | 2018-07-10 14:10:58 | 23 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
lh1lu0 | Anyone else s older Model S X charging at > 90kw again? | I have a 2015 S P90D that I ve had since new and I ve super charged it quite a lot over the years. A couple years ago like many other older S X owners with extensive supercharging my car became limited to a max charging rate of 90kw. I was doing a bit of a rod trip yesterday and I was getting consistently over 110kw. It hasn t charged that rapidly in a long time. I d also taken another road trip a couple months ago and it was definitely still limited to 90kw. Did I miss some news? Did Tesla decide the wear on the batteries from high power charging wasn t so bad after all? Anyone else noticed this? | mandevu77 | 2021-02-10 19:30:56 | 54 | gmurg35 | Yes they removed the Supercharging cap for some cars in December. No one knows whether the batteries will wear more now that the cap is removed. | Vik- | 2021-02-10 19:55:32 | 29 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
izxiiz | Anyone else seeing EAP regression more phantom braking? | I drive the same PHX - San Diego route multiple times per year over the last 2 months I m seeing phantom braking about once every 50 miles used to be never. Also seeing more lane changes cancelled in the middle of the maneuver. Is anyone else seeing this? I m running 2020.36.11. I m trying to figure out if I need service for the vehicle or if EAP is just sucking more it really annoys me when EAP regresses I feel like it is the antithesis of human innovation. It s a huge pain if my family is in the car bc it makes the ride highly alarming for my wife who will be concerned about our 4 year old. At the same time I almost don t want to do the drive if I don t have EAP. Sidebar rant I was driving through an intersection last week encroaching on the truck in front of me that was making a slow right turn. EAP flipped out and slammed on the emergency brakes while I was inches from the intersection. I slammed on the accelerator with almost no response while the light turned yellow and the truck easily cleared the turn. Then I m stuck crawling through the intersection while the light is red. I don t feel like that is super safe. | digitalcascade | 2020-09-26 02:33:08 | 49 | g6ma8zb | Huge regression yes was going to post about it but got lazy.

7fe0my | Anyone else seeing the obvious smear campaign against Tesla and Elon Musk that is going on through social media and seeping in to mainstream news? | There is an obvious (and paid for) smear shill campaign against Tesla and Elon Musk by Wallstreet short-sellers and the oil industry. You can see it in the shill posts and comments around social media where they use the same talking points and use well-documented tactics to sow doubt and the illusion that Tesla is about to go under. See [this post] (https: np.reddit.com r worldnews comments 31wo57 the_chevron_tapes_video_shows_oil_giant_allegedly cq5uhse ) about how lobbyists pay PR companies to smear the competition. Such talking points I m seeing constantly being cycled include: - Tesla unable to scale up production - Tesla cars catching fire (you can thank the mainstream media for picking up this bullshit story and spreading it) - Autopilot causing accidents - Tesla making record quarterly losses (this one is particularly deceitful because the quarterly losses were forecast and planned due to scaling up production and these headlines make the reader think they are going under when in fact it is completely normal) - Tesla workforce issues (most recently that story about racism that was no more than what other large companies deal with on a daily basis) - Rumours of Elon leaving Tesla (As if he would) - Sowing doubt about Tesla cars range to spread range anxiety - General fud about Tesla s financial position - False assertions that Tesla cars produce more pollution than petrol cars due to electricity production and manufacturing Elon recently said in an interview that short-sellers have been doing this and have obvious financial incentives to do so. Given how much money short-sellers have now lost I believe they are going in to overdrive to bring the share price down at this critical juncture with the Model 3 going in to mass production. We need to make people aware of these efforts so that they don t believe this crap. | Ewics | 2017-11-25 08:29:34 | 1,068 | dqb84qq | First they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you and then you win.

kli806 | Anyone else sort of like the old UI better? | I was excited to try out the new UI and hopped into my car. The status indicators going down the left side is nice. But soon I begun to miss the old UI. Then I came home and saw the old UI again while watching the show Pike s Peak: On The Edge (great show btw). I think I liked the bigger number for speed and the bigger map of the old one. I also preferred that the cabin temp was centered on the screen. The bigger visualization is nice but I don t think its worth having a smaller speed readout and a smaller map screen.

grsibv | Anyone else thankful they got the Midrange Model 3? | With all the price changes we have had with the Model 3 I can t help but think the Midrange model 3 combined with the 7.5k tax credit seemed to be the best value on a model 3 till date! Got mine for $45k + $5k EAP + $2k FSD = $52k -$7.5k = $**44.5k** A SR+ even with the price cut is $38k + $7k FSD(for now) = **$45k** (Additional 2.5k if you are in CA w elidgble income- I was not) The midrange has faster acceleration more range heated rear seats Homelink better audio ambient & fog lights and the cooler glass roof. Got my car almost 2 years ago just got the HW3 installed and I while I initially was disappointed with all the price cuts it still seems us Midrange owners got the best deal and the car just keeps getting better and better!

7ds9oe | Anyone else tired of being told that your patience for your Model 3 is waning and running out? | I was a Day 1 reservation holder for the Model 3. I had absolutely ZERO expectation of receiving it before 2020 given that the original schedule was for 2020 start of production plus knowing that things take time to ramp up. In fact we weren t told they were going to move production up to 2017 2018 until after we were told there was 400 000 reservations. So basically most people in that 400 000 are kind of on the same page as me...unless you have magical powers and knew Tesla was going to move up production. I ve seen a few analysts specially some from Kelly Blue Book who CONSTANTLY tell me that I m running out of patience. Every time they are interviewed for an article...they say that Model 3 reservation holders are running out of patience their patience is waning Tesla making new products means Model 3 reservation holders are running out of patience . Even if Tesla had stuck to their original 2017 2018 production schedule there would still be 400 000 people waiting. STOP TELLING ME MY PATIENCE IS WANING. I NEVER SAID THAT. LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE! I MEAN LEAVE ELON ALONE! JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE! Am I crazy or is anyone else thinking the same thing? Lol. | [deleted] | 2017-11-18 11:00:25 | 48 | dpzzujd | That is not true. I remember them saying before reservations started that production would begin 2018. (I am certain about this because it made sense for me to reserve one as I figured it would come close to my graduation. So they did move it up some but not from 2020. | IwantaModel3 | 2017-11-18 11:16:55 | 26 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

cpmpig | Anyone ever seek get reimbursement for a repair initally thought not to be covered? | My S75 was all over the road at the beginning of my \~15 mile trip on July 6 early evening. I initially thought it was AP that I had recently updated. In AP it was swerving from one lane line to the other and back continuously. Then I noticed it was happening even with AP off. Rain was falling so I thought maybe my tires went bald (I do go through tires way too quick). But I didn t think it was that bad I figured I d check the tires when I arrived at my destination. When I parked for dinner a Thunderstorm broke out so I ran into the restaurant without checking tires. Dinner was long (power out at the restaurant for an hour before they started making food bad storm). When I left I totally forgot about the swerving issue until I was driving but figured I d check when I got home (\~15 miles away). Of course I forget to check when I get home. The next morning I drive 15 miles 20 minutes. The car still swerving but I am on 95 and it seems to swerve less the faster I go... Not my best idea. I get to where I am going I put car into reverse to parallel park (not with auto park I still don t know how to use that 2nd Model S 3 years). I hear an awful crunch noise the car stops moving. I get out (front end still halfway in very narrow one way Philly street) my rear passenger wheel is basically sideways control arm snapped CLEAN. Cars can get by but not easily mine won t move. I call Roadside and explain the situation. It s around 9:45-10 am 100 degrees out. The extremely rude and unprofessional rep tells me I was in an accident so this is not a covered repair. I assure her I was not in an accident and it s in pristine shape. She tells me that is impossible and advises me to use a Tesla-approved towing company (at my own expense). She further advises that I should get it towed to a body shop not a SC because it s not covered. My car is less than 2 years old \~ 35K miles. She summons a Tesla tow company for me. I get a text saying the truck will be there within 90 minutes this is around 10:15-10:30. An hour later (sweltering heat) I get another text saying tow in 30 minutes. The truck driver arrives \~3:30 PM tells me a cop flagged him down and some other bullshit. I ask him (he s a Tesla tow guy) if y car looked like it was in an accident. he said obviously not your rim would be wrecked or at least scratched (Black TST). I ask him to tow it to the SC contrary to rep s recommendation he agrees. Charged me $420 (nice) and I had to take a $ 65 uber home. The next day I rent a car using Enterprise bc my SC uses them and I figured it would be easier to get the charge reimbursed when they see my car. I already had an appointment at SC for 7 15 for an ongoing electrical issue (I m on my third DU also). They don t even look at my car in their parking lot not even inside until Tuesday. They tell me the control arm will take a week to get delivered that they can t confirm I didn t hit something until the get the car up on the lift AND THAT THEY RE NOT PUTTING MY CAR ONTO THE LIFT UNTIL THE CONTROL ARM COMES IN BECAUSE THEY DON T WANT TO WASTE SPACE AT THE SC. Those things all really happened. Friday rolls around they finally look at it they tell me it s a covered repair I can come get a loaner. My enterprise bill was $200 They were super great about giving me uber credits so I could get from Enterprise in Philly to SC in Cherry Hill. They get the part in eventually and START looking into the charging problem on 7 15 (the date I had previously scheduled service for but they already had my car there for a week at this point). It takes them 3 more weeks to fix the charging issue. For over a year now the car charges 7 miles then stops eventually starts again It s not usually a big deal bc I charge at home at night. They previously told me it was a bad cable (UMC or whatever) and that my electrician didn t wire my house correctly. This issue did not occur when supercharging seemingly an OBC issue but not. The loaner charged fine. I got my car back AUGUST 1. I called Roadside again since they initially made the decision that the repair wasn t covered they told me to contact my SC for reimbursement. I have emailed and texted the SC 6 5 or 6 times and am getting absolutely ghosted. I am getting read receipts on the emails too. I am out $420 for the tow $200 for Enterprise and $65Uber home from where car broke down. Is this normal for Tesla? Anyone know which department number email to contact? They should reiburse me all that and a month s car payment. | effdallas | 2019-08-13 02:28:08 | 16 | ewquy24 | From other people with similar problems: they are totally disorganised pester them till they pay up they are not good when things go off script. | racergr | 2019-08-13 07:12:02 | 14 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |

We ve been tracking this bug over at TMC. First email [email protected] and [email protected] to tell them you are having the problem. Second turn off power saving under settings and see if the scanning problem continues (many have reported this fixes it). This would be a temporary workaround until they fix the bug. Also try partitioning your storage media so that no more than 10k tracks are on a single volume. I have 5k and 8k on two different volumes out of 4 total size across all volumes is 150GB. Total scan time is 45min. There may also be a track limit that does funny things but we are only speculating so far on that. Edit: Total scan time on the 1st scan is 45min. No re-scanning on a regular basis with power savings turned off. | supratachophobia | 2016-10-09 01:22:11 | 7 | Spotify Gapless Playback |

6u1vgx | Anyone getting the M3 Long Range primarily because of the increased power instead of the longer range? | Most of the discussions I have seen from people debating on whether they want the long range trim or the standard trim have been focusing on just the range portion and charging rate... I want the long range trim because of its performance. I consider the extra range that comes with it as a bonus. A quick comparison with BMW 3 series (2wd) shows that the 340i is a little bit more than $9k more expensive than the 330i with 0-60 times of 4.8s and 5.5s respectively. This is relatively close to the Model 3 LR vs SR with times of 5.1s and 5.6s respectively. | therealbum | 2017-08-16 13:02:53 | 36 | dlp8q0w | I would doubt most people are doing it for the 0.5 second difference.

So the pic really tells us nothing about how the X will really look. If the nosecone was really gone it would be a massive change in design. I m certain Tesla wouldn t have put the old prototype on display at the NAIAS in that case. Design is a big factor in people s decison to buy and elon knows that people would be annoyed at not having been told the car they finally got would look entirely different than the one they had ordered. | mhpr262 | 2015-01-10 09:01:52 | 5 | Tesla Model Sightings |
dppovx | Anyone had a Powerwall fail? Geothermal estimator said Powerwalls are a service nightmare. | I had someone out to the house today to give me some estimates on HVAC upgrades hopefully to geothermal. Through conversation we got talking about Tesla Powerwalls. He said they ve been a service nightmare because Tesla suddenly decides they aren t supporting the previous version of Powerwalls once a new version comes out. He also said he has a friend in a different state that sold and installed 200 Powerwalls and now all his customers hate him because of service issues. Anyone had this experience where a Powerwall dies and you are stuck with either a big repair bill or a huge paperweight? | andguent | 2019-10-31 16:07:25 | 11 | f5yrupg | He probably have higher margins on battery packs from some other brand.

hcyqu1 | Anyone had a battery need to be replaced on a model S? | I m wondering if anyone has had to have an older model s s battery replacement trying to figure out if this is a concern. I m looking to buy one I ve found for a decent deal it s had a bunch of parts replaced and upgraded screen charging port and drive train but the battery only has 6mo-1yr left on the warranty. There s minimal charge loss it s at about 245 miles at 100%. Since I can t really buy a warranty I want to know if I should be worried about the battery at all? | Talltoddie | 2020-06-21 02:10:26 | 30 | fvi2ipn | Tesla batteries are known to last a long time if they are kept in good condition by the previous user (infrequent supercharging and full charge cycles).

itskzo | Anyone have a Tesla without charging at home? | The company I work for offers a very comprehensive car leasing package and a more basic Model 3 falls within my budget. I just took an M3 for a test drive needless to say it was a great experience. However one of the requirements my employer stipulated would be the installation of a home charger which is not possible in my home (no driveway or garage). Does anyone have any experience with driving an electric car and charging it at work (possible for me) and at other chargers? There are some charging stations at a nearby store we use for groceries and Tesla is planning to open a supercharger near my town (delayed by covid). My commute is only about 20 miles 30 kilometers one way and I don t need to do any other driving for work. Edit: corrected commute distance it s 30 km one way | illiesfw | 2020-09-16 10:00:15 | 20 | g5ghb6b | For 20 miles a day you dot need to charge at home then. Do you have a 110 outlet?

wnd3v1 | Anyone have a view on when Smart Summons will be “amazing”? | Is it reasonable to see Smart Summons and auto park have super human manoeuvrability after v11 of FSD beta is released? Getting into tight garages accurately and quickly will likely open up sales even further where current drivers who are not comfortable squeezing a luxury EV into tight spaces regularly. Thoughts? | Solid_Bullfrog_6106 | 2022-08-13 12:13:00 | 17 | ik7u58j | “Super human”? Right now nothing that FSD Beta does on city streets I would describe as even comparable to a novice human driver. I do think Smart Summon has potential to get noticeably better using the FSD stack but I don t expect that to be a priority. Getting the FSD beta shipped wide for streets is their top priority and the single stack highway stack is going to be a bigger priority to get there. Then I expect Canada and EU FSD to be the next big thing. Summon and Autopark are not really their priority…. | chillaban | 2022-08-14 04:44:29 | 41 | Smart Summon Limitations |

8yn4cc | Anyone have experience charging at an RV spot? | RV Park or campground? National park? Did you have to reserve it in advance? How much did you pay? Were they cool with you charging your Tesla without an RV? | 3LECTRC | 2018-07-13 19:45:02 | 30 | e2cehaj | I ve done it a few times it works really well. [Zion National Park RV Park Utah](https: imgur.com GubFhVP) [Thermopolis WY](https: imgur.com K1SBXz3) [Devils Tower WY](https: imgur.com eX07007) I always called ahead and reserved a 50 AMP RV spot for overnight since I usually arrived late and wanted to be sure I had a spot. I have an adapter for the TT-30 but it s around 7-8mph instead of 30mph so overnight I wouldn t be full. If they asked how big the trailer was or if I needed pull through I usually said It s small and either will work because explaining it was an EV usually just confused them. As long I have the 50 AMP plug I m happy. Usually had some questions in the morning about it which I m always happy to answer. Had one guy ask How did you get here? since he thought all EVs have terrible range of 50 miles. Also had one RV park manager offer to charge me just the car tent fee because they didn t realize I was just a car (the RV park was mostly empty) but I explained how much power it used overnight and that I was comfortable paying the full RV fee (usually $30-$40 but varies largely based on the RV park and whether it s the peak season). The way I see it it s totally worth the cost for me. I get a nice safe place to sleep and a full charge. Sometimes they have nice showers or other amenities. Sure I m only using at most ~$10 of electricity but I don t want to nickel and dime them. I am taking the spot that they could be charging an RV for and I want them to like EVs. | thebluehawk | 2018-07-13 21:49:32 | 44 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
6add2p | Anyone have experience driving to the Grand Canyon from Vegas for a day trip? | We re in Vegas right now on a road trip and will be for 3 more days. We wanted to visit the Grand Canyon as a day trip but not sure how viable it is in a Tesla. Anyone have experience with it? Is it possible? Practical? Any tips? Thanks! | Gripeaway | 2017-05-10 15:10:55 | 16 | dhdq19b | Supercharge at the Vegas charger before you leave supercharge at the Kingman charger on the way stay overnight at the Best Western in Tusayan which has a Tesla charger. Alternately if you don t want to overnight it you should drive Vegas-Kingman (SC)-Flagstaff (SC)-Grand Canyon-Flagstaff (SC)-Kingman (SC)-Vegas. Should make your longest leg 160 miles and add about 70 miles to the trip over using a gas car plus whatever the charging time ends up being. Probably looking at 5-7 hours each way so if you really want to do it as a day trip you would want to leave super early in the AM and plan to get home very late at night. Definitely would be more enjoyable to stay a night at the Best Western rather than rush. Although to be honest the GC can be seen and appreciated in a couple of hours.

Does anyone here have a Sense and did it detect your Tesla? I have a wall charger and an S and recently got notified by my electricity company that I had a spike in usage (about double my normal peak for that day... they don t give me much else to go on) on a random Sunday at 3pm (shouldn t have been the car but it was plugged in at the time so it s possible) and I m really curious to debug the issue & just generally get on top of my usage. | SeanColombo | 2018-07-18 15:38:24 | 25 | e2m20mm | We do - Sense is absolute garbage at detecting most of my stuff.

If you have a new Model S with AP2 and paid for Enhanced AutoPilot you won t be able to use it until at least the 8.1 update (probably this month). Your advisor should have explained that to you well before taking delivery. Am I weird in that while waiting for my car to be made I scoured this subreddit TMC and Electrek.co every hour for months learning about everything and had no surprises when I took delivery? I am sure I was close to losing my job because I became obsessed learning everything I could. Enjoy the manual driving while waiting. I kind of like knowing it s about to get even cooler.

ci74da | Anyone here have any luck fitting Tsportline s 18 wheels over the 20 wheels? | Based in the UK and thinking about going for a 3P+ instead of a 3P- but don t want the 20 wheels due to potholes so I m thinking of downgrading to the aftermarket Tsportline 18 wheels as shown here: https: tsportline.com collections 18-tesla-wheels-model-3 products tesla-model-3-18-tst-flow-forged-tesla-wheel-and-tire-package-set-of-4?variant=18876424454262 Have people had any luck doing this on here? Since I live in the UK I feel as if it s a risky venture since the Model 3P+ specs may be slightly different to the US and the sales line warned there may be compatibility issues with cameras alignment and autopilot after changing the wheels. Is it worth the risk? As soon as I go to pick the car up I would be swapping out the 20 wheels for the 18 wheels. Never changed a wheel before but [gotta start somewhere](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=UhsL_crksjo). My final question is what tyre I would pick to go with the 18 wheels. They have Continental DWS06 All Season Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Michelin Primacy MXM4. How much range would I lose by choosing the 18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S or maybe the MXM4 tires over Tesla s stock wheels? | twinbee | 2019-07-26 19:14:15 | 11 | ev21oj7 | T Sportline developed these wheels to work with the P3D+. You ll be fine with them. They clear the brakes and accommodate the center hub lip. The sales people have no idea what they are talking about. Changing your rims tires will not affect your cameras or even autopilot unless you get some crazy ridiculously ill fitting wheels.

They announced in early 2014 that there would be a service center in New Orleans but that has yet to be realized. - Tesla website shows a $8 000 tax credit for the 60 but looking at the tax code is very vague. Seems to be 36% of the cost of the pet of the car associated with being eclectic.

It looks like Louisiana has lots of anti direct-to-consumer laws that are on shaky ground because of a federal ruling. Tesla is probably analyzing how best to approach this situation. Maybe they want to use it as leverage to get the state to agree to several stores service centers without fuss. Or maybe Tesla wants to purposefully pick a fight and take it to the SCOTUS and settle this once and for all. To do that Tesla will definitely want to have as much firepower as possible and right now they have the federal ruling on coffins backing from the FTC (federal courts historically give large weight to federal regulatory agency opinions) and in the near future a potential Utah Supreme Court victory. Thats a lot of legal firepower Tesla is building. My guess is Tesla is waiting for the Utah Supreme Court decision before deciding what to do in Louisiana.

dwkwge | Anyone in freezing temps notice camera defrosters no longer functioning? | A few times over the past few weeks we ve been randomly hit with a slew of warnings (Autopilot safety convenience features disabled Automatic Emergency Braking disabled Stability control disabled). On the first event we called Tesla they pulled logs and recommended we take into service and get checked out. At service they found nothing wrong with the camera and sent us home. A few days later it all happened again. Then we got a rain freeze with light snow and noted that the cameras no longer appear to be defrosting while the car is parked (this used to be a thing). Further experimentation revealed that the camera defrosters also fail to activate when climate+defrost is enabled via the app. After 20 minutes of defrosting the windshield wipers and side mirror glass had all cleared while the front AP camera remained covered with snow. Brushing that snow away revealed the inside glass completely fogged (defrost ducted heat can t reach this area as it is enclosed). Pillar cameras were also confirmed to not be heating even with defrost enabled. TeslaCam video review revealed that the front camera was basically being blinded by the sun hitting the fogged windshield glass throwing all of the associated errors and disabling AP and all associated safety features. We had a frosty evening as I updated from 2019.32.12.2 to 2019.36.2.1 and I was able to confirm camera defrost failed to function on either update (temps were below freezing as reported by the car so if camera heaters are supposed to only activate when cold that s not happening). A thread over at TMC [has a few others also reporting this issue](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc posts 4193371 ). Seems to be only a few folks reporting but it may be that the conditions have to be just right to fog the camera and drive with sun at the correct angle to wash out the cameras and trigger the resulting issues so wanted to report here and have folks keep an eye on their 3 s cameras in frosty snowy conditions. | malventano | 2019-11-15 03:32:03 | 24 | f7knpdr | Yes.

cwdsz8 | Anyone know of an independently owned Tesla EV Service Center in Southern California | I ve seen a few different independent dealers and service centers that specifically focus on Tesla s across the US (prime example being electrified garage from rich rebuilds) but I m wondering if such an aftermarket dealer service center exists in SoCal. Would love to know! I recently came across a salvaged Tesla Model S 85 that is fully rebuilt selling for under $10k (200k+ miles) that I d be willing to take on as a project car assuming I can have someone take a look at it and run a multipoint inspection. | irllydontknow_ | 2019-08-28 01:21:39 | 16 | eya9wia | I d love to know this as well. Tesla service sucks now a days. (im a 20k+90k VIN model S owner and a 1k MX owner) I am spoiled with how it used to be. Cars are out of warranty now so I m looking to get things done on my own such as maybe an MCU2 swap since even Fremont service says it cannot happen despite all of Elon s tweets saying otherwise | Muzzman1 | 2019-08-28 02:45:05 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

The numbers are like this: * 2016 Model S 90D: 193 kW (259 HP) front & 193 kW (259 HP) rear motor * 2017 Model S 90D: 193 kW (259 HP) front & 193 kW (259 HP) rear motor Source: [EPA document](http: www.fueleconomy.gov feg epadata vehicles.csv.zip). Inside the zip file there is a .csv file which you can open in Excel. I don t know a source that shows the torque numbers but the Wikipedia page [here](https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Tesla_Model_S) has some numbers. | Teslike | 2017-08-25 07:22:19 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6mixt7 | Anyone know where can I rate Destination Chargers? | We stayed at a hotel the other night because it had a destination charger. This is the sole reason why we stayed there. The experience was [terrible](https: www.tripadvisor.com Hotel_Review-g48261-d80119-Reviews-The_Red_Coach_Inn_Historic_Bed_and_Breakfast_Hotel-Niagara_Falls_New_York.html). Other than sifting through reviews on TripAdvisor does anyone know of a way to rate destination chargers? (I also posted my review to plugshare but I m not sure if that site is used by many). | PattyChuck | 2017-07-11 01:15:20 | 40 | dk1y4sh | Plugshare is used by a LOT of EV drivers so that is a good start.

78lco5 | Anyone know why the S X inventory numbers are dropping so much? | https: ev-cpo.com hunter Two months ago there were more than 1200 in the US alone with more listed daily now there are 400 some declining daily. I know they are probably shipping some overseas sold a bunch with big discounts at the end of last quarter and are probably converting some to service vehicle with their new program but it still seemed like their production rate was so high last quarter that it was out running demand and creating more excess inventory so they must have either A) dropped production or B) had a really big increase in demand which doesn t seem likely enough to explain the big change in inventory. Asking mainly because I m looking for a showroom model which were being added pretty regularly a month or two ago but I haven t seen any new ones listed in several weeks. | awake1563 | 2017-10-25 04:16:54 | 24 | dousmhk | FWIW their marketing has finally broken through to me (previous MB AMG owner) and several of my friends and co-workers. Combined with the currently available incentives (tax credit referrals price reductions etc) it finally made me want a Model S. And by want I mean really....REALLY want. So much so that I aggressively hunted inventory cars to get one that I want within 30 days of deciding to make the jump. Don t underestimate the exponential pull of the EV movement when car guys co-workers and family start trading in their luxury performance german vehicles for a Tesla. Honestly reminds me a lot of when the iPhone launched. Tesla may truly be hitting critical mass! | arcade16 | 2017-10-25 05:08:46 | 53 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
bdbqqa | Anyone lease a $35K SR yet? Is it possible to get $420 mo.? | No it s not a clickbait headline. Here s my math - tell me if I m wrong: * SR+ lease quote (on $39 500 MSRP) is $504 mo. with $3K down for 36 mo. 10K mi. * $504 * 36 = $18 144 total monthly payments * $18 144 + $3 000 down = $21 144 total lease cost (excl. dest and doc. fees + taxes) * $21 144 $39 500 = 0.535291139 residual So * $35 000 - $3 750 tax credit (presumably claimed by Tesla?) - $3 000 down = $28 250 * $28 250 * 0.535291139 = $15 121.9747 * **$15 121.9747 36 = ~$420 mo. lease payment** | scottg96 | 2019-04-15 04:02:16 | 35 | ekxjbgr | All the leasing options of the Model 3 are complete and utter bullshit. $0.50 per mile?

91egjd | Anyone not get EAP and then regret it later buying it at the more expensive price point? | I don t drive very often and rarely sit in traffic. I would only use it occasionally. We have young kids too so it may be a while until we can go on a road trip more than an hour away. How often do you all use it? | mjezzi | 2018-07-24 05:00:24 | 10 | e2xj5zr | I had tried EAP in a Model S and was more than a little underwhelmed but when ordering my Model 3 decided to go for it. The first couple of times I turned it on I wondered if buying it was a mistake as I felt nervous when any traffic was close by but every time I use it I am more confident and am now very glad I added it. Having said that I wouldn t consider using it without being ready to take over. | ThatIsMrDickHead2You | 2018-07-24 06:18:16 | 19 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
n0ol4k | Anyone notice how cruddy youtube and the other video apps been lately? | Usually enjoy watching youtube netflix on my model 3 but the performance has been very choppy with video audio sync issues. Yes I have tried resetting the car. How has it been for you guys? Please Telsa no more games until you can have the UI be smooth again like it was before.... | Iamhereforhelp | 2021-04-28 20:55:17 | 80 | gw81j7c | Hoping V11 will improve performance of the GUI. Yes the Intel Atom processor is not very powerful but Tesla can do better to profile and optimize the software to improve performance here. I think Tesla has been blue balling us with updates as once they make a decision to rewrite a codebase they wholesale commit to it and neglect improvements to the existing codebase until they are “done” with the rewrite. This is why the Holiday 2020 (“🔥🔥”) update UI inconsistencies and audio glitches still aren t fixed and why non-FSD Autopilot is still not great. Based on the number of regressions and bugs we repeatedly see it s obvious to me the software teams lack maturity in their development processes and they are often wholesale chasing the shiny. The teams are (hopefully) growing fast and things are moving fast so this isn t completely unexpected. I do wish they improved their rigor and software development processes though. Regressions like we often see are really inexcusable write some tests once in a while guys! Just gotta be patient. | blaker9410 | 2021-04-28 21:41:04 | 47 | Spotify Gapless Playback |
702uk0 | Anyone notice the recent increase in Tesla Used pre-owned Model S prices? | Have been shopping around for a Model S and have noticed the prices have been creeping up on the used inventory. There used to be many options for near 40k and even slightly below in August but now the cheapest has been a 60 model for $46 500 that s been there for over a week. Doesn t look like inventory has been changing much and there has not been much activity on EV-CPO meaning it seems like hardly anyone is buying. The cheapest AP1 60 model is $60k which seems insane as a new base costs exactly the same after tax credit and that model has been listed for 2 weeks now. Does Tesla only want to sell new vehicles right now? Used ones seem like a horrible value right now anyone feel the same way? | Turtlesz | 2017-09-14 15:13:02 | 17 | dmzyhoh | I think all the good deals get snatched up quickly.

29qowx | Anyone noticed something about the distance between most of the superchargers? | On [*insert awesome tesla wiki person s name who deserves major credit* s supercharge.info](http: supercharge.info ) set the radius to 75 miles. This will be half the comfortable distance of the 200 mile Gen 3 car. Notice how the vast majority of adjacent circles touch. The supercharger network is totally built for Gen 3. | Anderlan | 2014-07-03 14:06:56 | 11 | cinj8zr | The 60kWh Model S has about the same range. During winter nights that range will be more like 140 and people won t want to cut it close in bad weather so more than 100 miles between superchargers will start to make people nervous. | tkulogo | 2014-07-03 14:13:20 | 6 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
mkrp87 | Anyone out there use superchargers exclusively? | I live in a apartment so I don t have access to at-home charging but I live 5 miles away from 16 superchargers and would likely need to charge once or twice most weeks.

The S is really too big for me it s almost exactly the same size as my current car which is also too big. I bought the S because there is no other electric car with the range I need (I don t need the performance so I won t be getting a P variant). | dogphlap | 2015-08-05 23:36:32 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
