7j5s7b | Anyone receive an invitation to configure your TM3 email who saved AWD as your preference? | See title. Basically I m trying to find out if saving your preference of First Production Standard Battery and Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive on the Delivery Estimator page has any impact on when you receive your invitation to configure. | bariaga | 2017-12-11 22:04:00 | 28 | dr48xy0 | Selected an AWD preference was still invited to configure as part of the first invitation wave.

59w950 | Anyone receive their S or X with the Enhanced Autopilot hardware yet? | Elon confirmed on production as of 10 19. D+10 should mean that they should be off the line ~~any day now~~. Edit: most likely not off the line yet due to backlog. | Caravaggio1 | 2016-10-28 19:00:02 | 51 | d9btdxd | I wish they had a counter on the web where we could watch the total mileage on the new autopilot fleet. | chargerag | 2016-10-28 19:02:21 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
go3ijb | Anyone received a VIN since the factory reopened? | Ordered my Pearl White White Model 3P on April 21 but haven t had any updates since then. Based on cars appearing on the Tesla-Info website website it looks like the factory is cranking out blue black Model 3 s. currently. | c615586 | 2020-05-21 19:32:09 | 34 | frdp1in | I got a VIN for my model Y 2 days ago | becausethereareno4s | 2020-05-21 20:42:56 | 14 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
6no4z2 | Anyone received a new drive unit S75? | Just wondering if anyone has the upgraded drive unit that lowers the 0-60 time on the base S75. Anyone that has driven both old and new? What are your thoughts? | dazboj44 | 2017-07-16 19:34:01 | 26 | dkaydzd | Interesting related [thread](https: forums.tesla.com forum forums 75s-0-60-upgrade) dave s comment down a ways: Here s a update on my 75D. I had been driving around a < 200XXX S 75D for about 3 weeks before I took delivery of my new 75D (vin 204XXX) with the DU00 on Monday. After the orientation I hopped in my shiny new S 75D and noticed that the software version was the same as my loaner S 75D at `17.24.28`. I drove off and other than Autopilot and Adaptive Cruise control calibrating the acceleration and everything was identical. I drove around to get over the supposed 50-mile AP calibration time came home plugged her in as usual. Then I got a software update notification on my phone around 3:30am and I immediately when out to the garage and started the update. The update was finished in the am the version now sat at `17.26.76` but the release notes were the same as they were with `17.24.28`. I didn t think anything of it but did notice that the AP features were ready to go. I drove out of my street hit the accelerator and was immediately thrown back in my seat! Apparently this `17.24.28` > `17.26.76` update enabled the extra power of the DU00! Those with the DU00 get ready for some fun :) | yrrkoon | 2017-07-16 20:18:42 | 17 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
t2v1ca | Anyone recently got FSD beta enabled? | Its been over 2 months and I am maintaining 99 safety score. No luck on FSD beta yet. Did anyone recently got FSD beta enabled in Austin TX area? what is the real criteria for enabling FSD beta?. Is it just random? Its frustrating to wait on this for over a year after shelling out 10k more and never getting it. Over and above I have to drive this car like an 80 year old forever to maintain the same safety score until I get FSD beta.. Feel like it was a such a dump decision to pay 10k over for something I will never get | cooltxbud | 2022-02-27 18:55:42 | 58 | hyonxq7 | I have had a safety score of 100 since the first of the year and still waiting | npknapt | 2022-02-27 19:58:23 | 40 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

cq3ejc | Anyone s easy entry suddenly less reliable? (2019.28.2) | When I get in my car now sometimes the seat will stay at easy entry while the steering wheel moves forward. When this happens I need to manually tap my profile while it s already selected to get the seat into my position. This can t just be me... right? EDIT: Hopefully some Tesla engineers are reading looks like this is due to having two phones associated with the same profile and can occur whether or not you have both phones on you. | epheterson | 2019-08-14 02:27:53 | 15 | ewtw9kz | Yes I ve been experiencing the same thing since 2019.28.2 everything adjusts aside from the seat.

54vywy | Anyone selling their Model S? | I ve been looking a lot online for CPO Teslas but wanted to see if anyone on here has been trying to sell their Tesla. I live in Ohio but anywhere close to here would be great. Private sales seem to be easier on both the seller and the buyer in regards to money. Thanks. | Dinosaurdikslam | 2016-09-28 12:02:32 | 18 | d85gwwm | May want to check TMC as well.

cmitvw | Anyone still able to purchase autopilot? | My 2018 MX did not come with autopilot (basic or enhanced) and I didn t buy it at the time because I was already stretching my budget and figured I could add it later. Well finally got a solid bonus at work and went to at least add autopilot if not FSD but neither option is available in my tesla account nor does scanning the QR code from the in-car purchase button take me anywhere that can buy it. I was in the service center today for another issue and when I asked about it they told me if you don t already have autopilot you can t get it or FSD anymore? I was shocked by that as I didn t see anything about the options going away. I know most people probably bought it during the “sale” but has anyone who didn t found themselves unable to? Was this announced somewhere that I missed? Of course calling and messaging central support has yielded nothing but ignored messages and hours-on-hold-only-to-be-hung-up-on. | bprotas | 2019-08-05 23:34:50 | 23 | ew2jt7k | > I was in the service center today for another issue and when I asked about it they told me if you don t already have autopilot you can t get it or FSD anymore? This doesn t sound correct at all. Tesla wants to maximize their sales of software since that s basically free margin. My guess is that their website was just having problems... which it does sometimes. There definitely hasn t been any announced change of policy regarding Tesla s desire to make easy money. I know their support is bad but I m surprised your chat messages were ignored. I ve heard that s a reliable way of getting to a human. | coder543 | 2019-08-05 23:41:37 | 22 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

ikdv5j | Anyone suddenly having trouble with windows on one side of the car not retracting? | I don t know if this is a total coincidence but I got the latest update on my Model 3 overnight on Sat and twice the next day after driving the car both windows on the passenger side would not retract... They popped out of the frame upon opening and were very difficult to get closed again. I tried hard resetting the console and powering off the car but nothing helped. Letting the car sit for a few hours apparently fixed the issue but then it happened again that evening and stranded my wife for a while. So it obviously feels like a software problem... and (again maybe coincidence but) the latest software update does involve window monitoring? I made a service appointment and now (of course) it seems to have stopped happening... so... not sure what to make of this. UPDATE: It s been a few more days and this has not happened again. I guess that s good. | patniemeyer | 2020-09-01 04:36:49 | 12 | g3k15t2 | Try recalibrating the windows next time it happens.

h0gznf | Anyone switched from a BMW M3 to a M3P? Opinions? | Considering selling my BMW M3 2016 to get a Tesla M3P or Y Perf I am in IT and the tech is what draws me to the car and the performance of them is very good. Anyone done a similar swap? | cody7600 | 2020-06-10 18:33:25 | 12 | ftm0vtv | I didn t have an M3 but I did have a 2016 340i MSport with track handling package before I bought my M3P in December. Absolutely the best decision. I love BMW don t get me wrong. I wish I could have the precision engineering from the BMW in my Tesla. But the times I drove the Bimmer before I sold it a few days ago it felt like something was wrong with it. Like it was old and clunky. I realized I had just gotten used to the smooth feel of the M3Ps power delivery. Do it. | closhedbb80 | 2020-06-10 18:40:59 | 27 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
2jdgoz | Anyone taken performance driving classes? | The P85D I have on order will be my first ever high-performance car. I m wondering if it makes sense to go back to driving school and take one of those daylong performance driving classes to learn how to safely make use of all the power I m about to have at my disposal. The P85 and P85+ must have been first-time performance-car purchases for others -- have any of you folks gotten more instruction? Was it worth it? How valuable is it to find a place that ll let me use my own car as opposed to one of their sportscars? | koreth | 2014-10-16 00:49:04 | 18 | claqtb7 | Personally I think that is a great idea to make sure you can handle the vehicle you are going to have for a while.

1hdn4w | Anyone taking a tour of the Tesla Factory the week of July 1st? | My girlfriend and I are flying from Boston to San Fransisco tomorrow and I would love to tour the factory. I hear the only way to do this is to is if you are picking up your car though. PM me if you wouldn t mind us tagging along. I ll take you out for some beers or dinner. | jkwon7 | 2013-06-30 19:11:55 | 23 | catn6c9 | I had my tour last Thursday. Had very few choices of days to tour the scheduler told me the tours fill up really fast. There were approximately 30 people on our tour. All owners and their 3 friends family members. Tours are not available to the public at this time. Very interesting and worth it. These cars are not built on a regular auto assembly line like the ones I am familiar with from the 80s. Very impressive. | jsantanna | 2013-07-01 06:26:08 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
coa7fw | Anyone try this Model 3 HEPA filter yet? | Getting weird smells in my Model 3 a little over a year after getting it. Tesla recommends changing the air filter every 2 years but I think it s time to swap it now see if it improves. Just found this filter option though. Anyone try one of these yet? And why is it only sold in pairs? & #x200B [https: evtuning.com collections hepa-filters products model-3-hepa-cabin-filter-replacement](https: evtuning.com collections hepa-filters products model-3-hepa-cabin-filter-replacement) | FilmYak | 2019-08-09 23:19:51 | 29 | ewgxr54 | Model 3 takes two filters.

uvs92s | Anyone upgraded to a newer model? | I live in Arizona and I have a 2020 M3 SR+ right before they refreshed the interior. I ve seen similar models going for $45k and it got me thinking if it was worth upgrading to a Long Range M3 as my monthly payment would go up ~$100 at most. Has anyone done this or considered it? I m interested for the range alone and the newer interior is a plus. | cat_homicide | 2022-05-23 04:34:22 | 11 | i9nj4ot | I don t think it is worth it until a big refresh happens. In daily use it won t feel any different than your 2020. | 0bviousTruth | 2022-05-23 05:54:18 | 32 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
5boyie | Anyone want to guess what features WILL WON T be included in basic $35 000 version of the Tesla Model 3? | So I know the Model 3 will cost 35k but I ve read that is going to be the price for a basic version of the Tesla and certain features upgrades will cost more money. I know nobody knows exactly but to those who are Tesla enthusiasts would you mind guessing what likely WILL WON T be covered in the 35k base model? ****Side question but I live in California so sales tax alone will be around $3500. Is it realistic to have Tesla have my pre order for pickup in Oregon where there is no tax? That would save me a lot of money. | wre232 | 2016-11-07 21:24:26 | 14 | d9q791w | My best **guess** of what will be included: * 60kWh battery pack * Single rear motor * Supercharger capable * Full autonomous sensor suite that is software limited * Regular suspension (not Smart Air suspension) * Active safety features enabled * Low cost interior materials * Fixed glass roof * Heads Up Display | misfitshlb | 2016-11-07 22:20:50 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
cellu0 | Anyone want to share their experience Camping in a Model 3? | I m super excited to pick up my SR+ Model 3 within the next week or two. I just wanted to hear about people s experience with camping in the Model 3. I ve camped in the past but never in a car. The convenience sounds superb. When you also consider how cheap it is relative to traveling in a gas car and sleeping in hotels I can already see myself taking lots of car camping trips in the TM3. Not to mention autopilot should get me there with a whole lot less fatigue so farther destinations won t be as daunting (I m from SoCal if you have places you d recommend visiting). If you have any experience or advice that you wanted to share then I d love to hear about it. Product recommendations are also appreciated! | RareRibeye | 2019-07-18 00:59:26 | 30 | eu3ems8 | My wife and I have used our 3 to camp using the recommended [camping mat](https: i.redd.it r1pr2q8jze131.jpg) from Costco. Overall it was a pleasant experience but here are some notes I made for future trips in no particular order. * The front seats need to be pushed back as far as possible with their backs as upright as possible. Otherwise pillows will ooze their way down into the rear passenger footwell. * The UMC has significant inrush and will pop most GFCI s at camp sites. * 30A sites with 14-30 recepticles are L-N-G. This will work with a 14-30 to Edison adapter but not with a 14-30 to 14-50 adapter as in this mode the UMC is expecting 208-240v between pins. * People will stare at you for camping in a Tesla and try to peer in your car while you still might be sleeping. Have a plan for curtains or just be okay with that. * Remember to manually lock your doors on the screen before going to sleep the doors remain unlocked in park until you manually lock them. * Use the frunk for firewood. It s easier to clean out and doesn t leave lingering smells in the cabin. * Make sure to park on level ground or have extra pillows to pad the slight gap created between the folded down seat back and the door panels. Hope this helps! | saabstory88 | 2019-07-18 01:17:27 | 23 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
4f35v9 | Anyone want to speculate on what part 2 of the model 3 event will be? | Musk announced that the Model 3 unveiling would be a 2 part event a few prior to the first event on twitter. Any of you guys want to take a guys as to what part 2 will be? Personally I wouldn t be surprised if they came out with a hatchback version of the model 3. | Obiwanjacobi117 | 2016-04-16 18:50:06 | 12 | d25j7gd | My prediction: mainly the updated autopilot and futuristic display control on steering wheel. The autopilot will be able to recognize traffic lights and stop signs. This will achieve autonomous driving for most daily routines such as work school shopping trips. There will be cameras on the side both facing front and back. | Bobsky2 | 2016-04-16 19:45:22 | 21 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
ukfmpc | Anyone who bought FSD with AP 2.0 car get your cameras upgraded by Tesla yet? | I remember seeing news about Tesla starting to swap out cameras for AP 2.0 cars with FSD back in Oct. 21. If I remember correctly we were supposed to be notified when it was available for us. I have a 2017 X with 2.0 and FSD but haven t heard anything more about it. Has anyone with 2.0 had the upgrade yet?

The Nav had destinations around portland in it 80 miles glitter and dirty back seat fingerprints everywhere. & #x200B Driving it the front suspension creaks and pops with doing sharp turns. Like pulling into a parking space or making a turn from a stop. & #x200B I called the delivery center and they said it can take up to 4 weeks to process a return. They did say that they didn t know the process from an actual issue with the car vs a do not want it.

The loan took about 25 days to go away and I received my money back in around 21 days as a check delivered by FedEx. They do not give you any status updates about it at all even if you call and ask it was a bit stressful of a wait but the initial delivery center experience was pretty painless. | xvpower | 2019-06-28 18:10:48 | 66 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

The sound was lower than I d like and I swear it would have to be almost all the way turned up to get a decent sound.

4y3oxs | Anyone with a Tesla drive for Uber Lyft? | I got a Tesla when I requested an Uber today and thought that was pretty awesome. The driver said he does it part time and has friends who complain about gas with Uber... which obviously isn t a problem with his Tesla. Said passengers are always really excited when he rolls up haha Wondering if this would be worth it to make a few hundred bucks a week and show off the car (probably avoid the late night drunk crowds) | Nguyenning | 2016-08-17 04:14:08 | 18 | d6l6669 | I drive mine for Lyft I really enjoy it. Passengers have a good time I get to *EV*angelize and I make a few extra bucks. General thoughts: * Don t expect a few hundred a week unless this is your only job. I hit about $500 over last Labor Day weekend but that was an outlier. Good nights (in Denver) are around $15 hr slow nights $5-10 (After Lyft s 20% cut) * You re driving part-time ignore the numbers. Don t worry about your star rating don t worry about tips don t put the exact numbers into a spreadsheet except for dealing with taxes. Don t worry about tricks to get more tips or bigger tips just drive. You ll have more fun that way. * So at least for a Tesla and a willingness to chitchat I m tipped a little less than half the time. Tips don t change in frequency but they do get higher as people get drunker but obviously risks are higher. With a Tesla you don t have to make up for how much you spent on gas so turn the app off as soon as you feel weird that night. * Your insurance company needs to provide gap insurance - Lyft and Uber treat you like a contractor and only cover your car *while you have passengers in the car*.Your normal insurance only covers you while you re driving non-commercially. So check with your insurance about ride share insurance covering you while you re operating it commercially but not actively shuttling passengers. * Your phone usage is likely gonna go up a lot if you stream music for your riders and at least a little bit as both Lyft and Uber both fire up your Maps app when passengers request a ride. (I ve found it easier to just use the phone s GPS when picking up passengers and switching to the car s map when getting them to their destination) * Make sure you drive at least often enough to pay for what it costs to drive - that gap insurance and the phone usage. I usually drive at least enough to pay for my car insurance each month sometimes I get a couple other bills covered too. Not too often you have an excuse to drive your Tesla that actually makes you money | tuba_man | 2016-08-17 14:44:22 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I m referring to people who have macular degeneration or something that decreases visual acuity and has prevented them from driving even though they are legally able to. Or someone who due to their eye sight never felt safe behind the wheel until getting a Tesla for its autopilot feature. | MD_mania | 2016-12-23 21:24:50 | 13 | dbk5jif | With the current state of Autopilot if you don t feel comfortable driving due to your vision you shouldn t be driving with Autopilot. The current software still has trouble with stationary vehicles and objects as well as random glitches. Once the cars with AP2 hardware get up to Level 4 or so then maybe it s safe to reconsider. | ahecht | 2016-12-23 21:35:09 | 28 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |

2dje9p | Apartment buildings and Tesla? | I m shopping around Arlington (VA) for housing and unfortunately most of what s available are apartments and not houses with garages.

6pynd9 | Apartment charging people aren t as forward thinking as I was hoping :( | Called a manager for an apartment I m interested in to ask if I would be able to charge in the parking garage. I was really caught off guard by how unwilling she was to give a helpful answer. She must have said I don t know about 30 times in a row and made me feel like just asking about the possibility was incredibly unreasonable. She also implied that I was lying to say that it would cost as little as $10 a week in power. There is definitely still a major hurdle in getting people to accept the eminent change of ICE to EV. Anyone who lives in an apartment have any advice on an alternative? No consistent or reliable charging source means that any reasonable person would cancel their reservation. | askbutdonttellme | 2017-07-27 20:08:53 | 37 | dkt73ne | They are a business right now there is no need to have charging in the parking spots.

d294va | Apartment complex charging issue | Hey guys Me and my girlfriend live in Shanghai and have put down a deposit for a model 3. We are pretty close to pulling the trigger after working out all the financial aspects. However when we looked into installing a charging point in the garage below our apartment building we were informed we d have to buy a parking spot in order to install a charger- currently parking is free and probably will be for another year or two. Purchasing a parking spot would cost somewhere between $15 25k so that s completely out of the question as we aren t planning to live there for more than a couple of years. The apartment complex provide a few charging stations and because of the location in the city there s very few electric cars in the area compared to other areas so we would likely be ok to use one of them every night- and if not there s a supercharging station 15 mins away. I was just wondering how effective non Tesla chargers would be how they would affect charge rate etc and if there s any other consequences of not using Tesla chargers. The company that operates the chargers is called “star charge” and I m struggling to find much information about them. Is this an issue we should be taking seriously or will it be similar to having our own Tesla charger. Thanks! Edit- so I ve found the specs for the chargers provided by my apartment complex. http: starcharge.com show.asp?id=31 What sort of charge rate should I expect from one of these? | Dme1663 | 2019-09-10 15:27:40 | 27 | eztg29p | There s no problem.

a11luh | Apartment complex will allow me to pay for a charger install but wants a $95 mo usage payment to use it afterwards. Southern CA (P3D+ delivery tomorrow!) | Super stoked for delivery! Obviously this install is a pretty bad deal in the end but I am wondering if it is legal (in CA) for them to charge the $95 additional rate or if I would only be legally responsible for usage? The CA EV law itself states usage associated to the charger. Does anyone have experience with this? Model P3D+ delivery is tomorrow and I can charge at work so I am not totally screwed. Just curious if there s any ground to stand on here. Complex currently has no chargers so I am hoping they are just inexperienced. Seems odd that they could have me pay for the install and charger and also make me pay the inflated flat rate rather than actual usage. | rexis89 | 2018-11-28 01:59:18 | 54 | eam4ftv | I suggest you just charge at work.

ddz16s | App lock and trunk button small rant | The iOS Tesla app has a fundamental inconsistency that bugs me: the lock button at the top displays the current status of the locks while the trunk button immediately next to it displays what will happen to the trunk after the button is pressed (the opposite of the current status). It really bugs me because it s not clear at a glance what is locked or open. They should be the same behavior: I d suggest the trunk button showing a closed trunk that changes to an open trunk once pressed. | menthapiperita | 2019-10-06 05:20:50 | 16 | f2pkjmy | Completely agree this has been bugging me forever too.

evepir | App stopped working - Catch 22 | My app stopped talking to the car for the past two days. The app says Vehicle connection error I tried the following: 1. Kill and restart the app. 2. Log out of the app and back in 3. Reboot the MCU 4. Power off the car 5. Turn off and on the phone (added) 6. Turn off mobile access and turn back on: 7. Delete the app and reinstall. 8. Delete the phone from the car and try to re-add (can t re-add). I also tried connecting at home at work and while on the road. LTE symbol is shown and has several bars. Also WiFi at home is working. So the support web page says to use the car to open a support ticket. The car says to use the app to open a ticket. The app doesn t work and so I can t open a ticket - catch-22. Tried calling on the phone and it says you have to use the app to open a ticket. Up until the point where I deleted the app the phone still worked as a bluetooth device and unlocked the car. Now it doesn t unlock. I can still use my keycard.

4uocds | Apparently Mobileye won t be continuing with Tesla after EyeQ3 chip. | link to TMC reference [https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc posts 1649475 ](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc posts 1649475 ) | will_shatners_pants | 2016-07-26 12:25:12 | 124 | d5re08p | This was to be expected. You can even tell from the dual housing in the Model X it is awfully similar to the one Bosch used in their Model S test vehicle. I believe Tesla is going to use their own bespoke systems especially because of the type of vehicles they will be producing in the future. Mobileye vision is amazing and you have to watch their keynotes. One of the ways they achieved such amazing results is by having 800 annotators teaching a Deep Neural Network (DNN) what the camera frame is looking at. However for a technologically advanced company like Tesla replicating these results shouldn t too difficult. Where the paths with Tesla and Mobileye diverge is probably with the timeline and policy planning (this is the area where you teach the car how to drive). Mobileye even said in one of the keynotes that you cannot have one company do the sensing and the other do the policy planning unless there is very tight collaboration. It is obvious up this point that Tesla and Mobileye collaborated so Mobileye did the sensing and Tesla did the policy planning (the algorithms to remain in lane). This is evident by the fact that Tesla cars are learning using Tesla s own machine learning. It was probably decided that taking this path was too complicated. We will likely see a deeper collaboration between Tesla and Bosch who currently makes the Tesla radars. We have seen from job postings for a couple of years that Tesla is developing its own camera systems so we will likely see bespoke cameras. In terms of the electronics Tesla will build its own triple modular redundant system. This area isn t new for Musk and can easily consult SpaceX for that. I could be wrong but that s my theory. | dmy30 | 2016-07-26 12:50:32 | 53 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6djhkr | Appeal to include HEPA filter in the Model 3 | Don t let us down Tesla! [So many people](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 6dfqmk model_s_and_model_3_official_comparison di2depg) myself included were disappointed not to see the renowned HEPA filter from the Model X S make it into the 3. For some of us it s just a matter of air quality especially when stuck behind an old lorry for hours in a traffic jam. For others it really does affect us physically. People such as myself get symptoms such as headaches and chest pain and that s just the short term effects! What could these fumes be doing to all of us in the long run? If it means we don t get the bioweapon defense mode (pressurized interior AFAIK) then at least give us a HEPA filter.

zr8rrm | Apple Music on Tesla appears to use the HE-AAC codec at 64 kbps. Explanation and testing inside. | I got off my arse and did some very simple testing. It is my opinion that Apple is using the HE-AAC codec at 64 kbps when streaming Apple Music via the Tesla UI. My testing methodology and results are below. ##Methodology * iPhone 14 mobile hotspot * [Hotspot Monitor Data Usage](https: apps.apple.com us app hotspot-monitor-data-usage id1037580658) from the Apple app store to monitor data traffic. * 2019 Model 3 on 2022.44.25.1 (we also have a 2021 Model Y on 2022.44.25.3 but I haven t seen an indication that bitrates were adjusted between these versions) From there I would monitor the data usage of the car while streaming music. I would match the data usage per song up to Apple s claims to see which codec is likely being used. [Per the Apple Music settings it says (for a three minute song):](https: imgur.com a gRt5Qib) * 1.5MB for HE-AAC (64k) * 6MBfor AAC (256k) * 36MB for Lossless (ALAC) * 145MB for Hi-Res Lossless (24-bit 192kHz) ##Results Through multiple songs I observed the same pattern - A burst of data as the next track began then a trickle of data throughout the song. It appears to buffer most or even all of the song then pause between tracks to do it again. On average I saw ~2MB per track with ~1.7MB during the initial burst and ~0.3MB throughout the track. This is consistent with the HE-AAC standard as most of these songs were a little over 3 minutes in length. This leads me to believe that Apple is using their HE-AAC codec at 64 kbps. ##Possible Questions Concerns (I ll update this with good questions from the comments) **Q: How can you be certain that Apple is using HE-AAC and not another codec?** **A:** I can t be certain but it s a reasonable guess. Apple uses very specific codecs for their 4 quality settings for Apple Music. Tesla s UI streams via Apple Music. It would be highly unlikely for Apple to make a codec unique to this one specific application given the size of their catalog. ~~That said it s certainly possible that they have a hidden lower setting (32 kbps?) for embedded applications such as this.~~See the last question. **Q: Could they be using a higher bitrate over LTE?** **A:** Not likely. There is no benefit to nerfing the bitrate over Wifi compared to LTE. There is benefit to nerfing it over LTE as Tesla bulk buys data for their premium connectivity subscribers and the incentive is to get as much out of it as possible while using as little as possible. **Q: Ok but why does it sound so much better to me?** **A:** 1) You re in a car not an isolated and quiet listening environment. It s virtually impossible to tell the different between high quality lossy and lossless compression in such an environment. Secondly [multiple listening tests (notes 10-13)](https: en.wikipedia.org wiki High-Efficiency_Advanced_Audio_Coding#cite_note-10) have shown that users cannot tell the difference between HE-AAC at 64 kbps and MP3 via a high quality encoder at 128 kbps even in isolated environments. Both Apple and Tesla likely felt that this was good enough for automotive use and Tesla has incentive to minimize data consumption for their premium connectivity. **Q: Would it be better for me to stream over Bluetooth? And if so should I use high-quality (256 kbps AAC) or lossless?** **A:** 1) Premium connectivity is a convenience that you pay for. Using Apple Music over BT will yield higher sound quality and if that s the only reason you had premium connectivity it will save you money. 2) If you use high-quality (AAC 256 kbps) it will play back using AAC over BT so you should lose no additional quality going from phone to car. If you use lossless there is debate if it would transcode to AAC or SBC. Best case you re introducing a non-zero amount of additional battery drain for no benefit (AAC) worst-case is you get SBC and it sounds slightly worse. Use High Quality. **Q: Is it a Tesla AT& T or Apple limitation that we can t have offline storage and higher bitrates?** **A:** Of the three my personal bet is on Apple limiting the choices and Tesla choosing the lower of the two but this is highly speculative. But I ll try to source it. Apple allows for the embedding of Apple Music via JavaScript. Tesla uses JavaScript for much of their UI and app interfaces. So it s a safe bet that Tesla is pulling from that. [Per this link](https: developer.apple.com documentation musickitjs musickit playbackbitrate) (thanks u smithre4) Apple Music s embedded application(s) only support streaming (no offline) with bitrates set to HIGH (256 kbps) or STANDARD (64 kbps). | OverlyOptimisticNerd | 2022-12-21 03:16:47 | 551 | j12b6d8 | Very cool analysis. Thanks. I was wondering why Apple Music over Bluetooth sounded better than the native music app in my Model S. Do you think that was a placebo effect or is there discernible difference? I also felt Apple Music over BT was way better than Spotify native app. | vishrit | 2022-12-21 03:37:54 | 92 | Spotify Gapless Playback |
g5lpjy | Apple Music vs Spotify on Tesla 3 | Hi all I ve just pulled the trigger on a model 3 and am trying to figure out the audio. My understanding is that Spotify has ‘native integration in the infotainment system whereas Apple Music is essentially Bluetooth from phone. I m a long time Google Play Music and Tidal user but have been using Apple Music for the past few months when I got a new iPhone. So my question is this: how good is the Spotify app on the Tesla? Is it worth cancelling Apple Music and Tidal? I ll keep the Google as I get and free YouTube with it. I don t want to spend time moving playlists if there s going to be proper support for Google Apple Tidal isna few months Thanks. | fannyabdabs | 2020-04-21 19:21:42 | 29 | fo42of7 | The native Spotify app is very limited and buggy. It s missing a lot of parts of Spotify like shared playlists global recents and basic controls for organizing songs (for example add song to playlist ‘x ). I normally browse Spotify on my phone and continue playback on the car screen. I haven t heard any rumors of plans for other music services. | onelovebraj | 2020-04-21 19:26:06 | 38 | Spotify Gapless Playback |
jjyvuv | Apple Shortcut to “Get the Car Ready” | I ve created an iOS Shortcuts workflow that makes getting my Tesla ready before I leave for (wherever) a bit automated. Feel free to take a look import it tinker to your liking and give feedback. Shortcut download link: https: www.icloud.com shortcuts ffe1cecb7964402d996fd85fba89baa3 Requirements: iOS 14+ Tesla Remote app (https: apps.apple.com us app remote-for-tesla id991623777) Accomplishes: Gets local weather (iOS location) Sets climate control to heat if temp is below your threshold and turns on driver s seat heater steering wheel heater (if equipped). If cabin temp is below a second threshold also turns on Max Defrost to clear both windshields. Sets climate control to cool if temp is above your threshold. If cabin temp is above a second threshold activates Max Cool. Queries your calendars for events today with locations attached. Gives you a pick list to choose where to navigate and sends that address to the car s navigation. If no events with location are found opens a prompt to find local businesses using Maps. Choose your result and that address is sent to the car s navigation. | snoslicer8 | 2020-10-28 23:25:17 | 93 | gafr231 | Good concept.

ds45pi | Apple Shortcuts to Warm Cool your car automatically | Hi R Tesla I hope this is ok a few people have asked me to share the automation I setup for prewarming or cooling my car. These use the Tesla API and thus do not share your information with any 3rd parties. This first one is to wake the car up when you import it you will be asked for your login information this is local to your phone and not accessible to me or anybody else. [Wake Car up](https: www.icloud.com shortcuts 9d126180f68f413c9d77d5264f8a373c) You will get an alert that says [Your car name] is awake the second one checks the interior or temp of the car if the temp is less than 10c (50f) than it turns the heat on and sets it to 25C (77f) If the temp is greater than 25c (77f) than it turns the AC on and sets the temp to 21c (70f). [Precondition Car interior](https: www.icloud.com shortcuts 0f8b0506192b4359845ee9bb92279710) You will get an alert that says [Your car name] is cooling warming or temperature is ideal no preconditioning needed There are also a few error handling situations that will alert you if the shortcuts didn t run properly for one reason or another. Thus far I have had pretty good success with these working as intended every morning. The way I have these used is in the Automation Section of the Apple Shortcuts app I have 2 setup... * when my wake-alarm is turned off - run shortcut Wake car up then run short cut Precondition car * 10 min before leaving work - run shortcut Wake car up then run short cut Precondition car I have these set to run without confirmation but if you wanted to you could leave the confirm option turned on for automation then you would receive an alert letting you know before it tries to run these commands. These shortcuts assume that you only have 1 Tesla attached to your account if you have multiple cars you would need to adjust them to select the proper vehicle. If you have any questions please let me know I m happy to provide any assistance I can. (Side note it would be really nice if Apple would introduce a Mac application to edit these so I don t need to type them all out on the small form function of an iPhone...) EDIT: Updated the link above to include the fix for the dictionary values failed error (apparently client secret or ID was incorrect) | iGoalie | 2019-11-05 19:26:57 | 172 | f6n6q7z | These are awesome.

f0iiai | Apple s new CarKey feature could be useful for Model 3 & Y | [Apple has created a new feature called CarKey](https: ww.9to5mac.com 9:jQA0lQV6Uh85mP81kFOsUvWekB8hVMRfUiJhUiJ1U25umh1sHGSaIGtcIvEqmQEhIB1ykr1yk3VcVCVcWL1rIGAqUFShjF5wlh1rmFubmL1ykr1imGKfk3S0UFIelr11kvgeH2cykvlcIQSymvudIh1qkvZcl2qqlvudIh1dIvVcH2OhUFcunGVe:ms0g) for the iPhone and Watch that uses NFC as a key. Obviously the Model 3 already uses the phone as a key via Bluetooth and I have no issues with it but having my Watch as a back up option would be some peace of mind. I know we also have the key cards as a backup however here in NZ and Australia with the wide spread adoptance of contactless pay it s becoming more common to go walletless. When you don t need a wallet any more because your phone and watch handles everything it once did where do you safely keep your key card? With CarKey my Watch would also be able to fill that role. | Matt_NZ | 2020-02-07 22:57:09 | 96 | fgucx71 | CarKey seems kind of bizarre to me because it only works as short-range NFC yet almost every car now has some proximity key option where you don t even need to take the key out of your pocket. Seems like a step backwards? I can see the value as some backup option though. Edit: Looks like the long-term plan is to support BLE and Ultra-wideband for proximity but that s not in the initial version. | InstantaneousBoxcar | 2020-02-07 23:22:48 | 49 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Does this seem reasonable or a waste of time? | arict | 2017-10-15 02:53:56 | 12 | doe3lmb | I ve also been toying with this idea - I ve got a factory MS75 arriving next month (needless to say - super excited!). I ve just had a Tesla charger installed at my office (22kw). My business does luxury home technology systems (cinemas Lighting Audio etc) and have a demonstration facility with good coffee Wi-Fi - owners could even watch a movie or play PlayStation in our Cinema while they wait for their Tesla to charge. There s a real dearth of charging options near my office. I d be happy to give Tesla owners free coffee and charging - we re an experience business and the more wealthy people that experience our systems the better... and compared to the cost of some other forms of marketing it would be cheap. We d only be open office hours however and there s not much else in the area that would be attractive it s an industrial estate.

rhxner | Appreciation post for the Tesla Mobile Service Team | **Can we all just take a minute to acknowledge how awesome it is that Tesla offers mobile service?** My Model 3 s Upper Control Arms cabin camera and charge port door were replaced today – all free of charge (warranty) and from my driveway. What would otherwise be a 3-hour round-trip drive to my nearest service center and a lost day of work productivity was instead done from home. I know Tesla gets a bad rap for their service sometimes – and the fixes my car needed were very minor – but my experience today prompted me to reflect on how truly awesome this is. I m sure some other car companies offer mobile service but it s still not very common...just another reason to love Tesla! | Impressive_Heron_314 | 2021-12-16 19:07:00 | 349 | hotm3h3 | MY owner.

3tr0q0 | Approximately how long will the battery packs in Teslas last before they need to be replaced? What is Tesla s plan once this starts happening on a large scale? | I always see posts about people worrying that their range in dropping too fast. It seems unlikely that Tesla would do nothing about their batteries going bad or else it would render all of their cars useless after maybe 10 15 20 years? I know usually when battery packs go bad it is only some of the cells that lose their ability to hold charge so maybe they could start a program where they refurbish the batteries to get the good cells out and use those to reduce the cost of a replacement. What do you guys think? | universityoflamas | 2015-11-21 23:23:44 | 33 | cx8h05u | I think rather than the good cell bad cell thing they will just sell you a new battery pack with a bit of trade in value for your old one. Some parts of the old pack may be reusable (frame etc.) and the old cells can be recycled into their component metals to be reused for new batteries. The packs are already made to be easily changed out and Tesla is working as hard as they can to increase production and reduce prices of battery cells packs with their Gigafactory project. | StetsonG | 2015-11-21 23:45:04 | 21 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Here are some thoughts: * First the car is STUNNING to look at. * The car “orientation” was very helpful and pretty much covers most technical items on the checklist. * The financing aspect could have been better. Long story short I financed and “paid” my down payment via ACH it turned out it wasn t paid and I had to pay again via ACH. They said it went through in the end and I got my car. I was able to download the Tesla app and see my new car even early on in this fiasco so there s that at least. * The screen had scuffs scratches and looked terribly colorful with sunglasses until I took off the screen protector. Turns out the screen was perfectly fine underneath that subtle film which I somehow didn t notice until sunset later. * There was some extra wax on the sonar lids that they removed for me on the spot. * The car has AMAZING kick to it when moving! Seriously it s a no-lag instant above-average acceleration at any speed. It was dangerously fun to do on the highway and I had to reduce my speed quite a few times. * Autopilot started to work at 41 miles. I laughed in glee and disbelief as it drove itself at 70 mph along curvy highways. * Regen is more aggressive that I imagined - like medium braking. I enjoyed it because it enabled one-pedal driving. * The sales rep told me that I have to schedule a follow-up appt to install the front plate later when I get it. My Tesla account now showed the ability to schedule my car and appointment times unfortunately overlap with work: M-F 8am-6pm. It s the price you pay for a Tesla I guess. * The interior had no flaws and I m really happy with how everything felt and functioned. * The car is an absolute dream to own and that giant screen is perfect for navigating. This car feels to other cars what the iPhone felt like to other phones when it first came out. They re going to be endangered species soon! * The sound is SO GOOD! It beats other “premium” sound packages by a lot. * I m shocked by the number of settings you can change. Steering to stiff? No problem- make it looser. Acceleration too much? No problem- make it “chill”. The car is awkwardly still in drive? No problem turn on “creep”. It s really cool how much leeway you have in customizing your car s performance with a few taps.

Same thing is happening with Lightning and USB-C although in that case it s debatable which is better. Edit: I should clarify I mean too many EV makers use CCS.

With all the changes they presented on battery day they aim for a cost reduction of 50% for the battery pack. On a $10k battery this results in a 5k saving (at cost level) Some of the advancements will be some time away but 60-70%ish should be realised over the next 12-18months | nidanjosh | 2022-01-24 07:24:56 | 60 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6pac0i | Are EVs are exempt from idling laws esp. WRT leaving pets in climate controlled cars? | Hi folks I m wondering if anyone has looked into whether EVs are exempt from idling laws? State websites have vague language about exemptions for APUs but no explicit language about EVs that I can find. Intuitively EVs aren t emitting or spinning an engine so while running climate control does ultimately have a footprint if you re not sourcing power from a renewable grid panels etc it s still substantially better than keeping an engine running and emitting NOx black carbon CO and other pollutants out a tailpipe. I m especially interested in the legality of leaving pets in climate controlled cars. I ve been using this as an inroad to encouraging gas driver pet owners to adopt EVs but I want to make sure such a practice is legal if I m recommending it. (For the sake of a clear argument on idling I m hoping we can leave pet ownership ethics out of the conversation since it s divisive.)

Is it simply because fewer people are traveling because of COVID-19? Or has Tesla been able to expand some of the known bottlenecks in the charging network? | ScavengerLife | 2020-11-28 20:49:07 | 32 | gdx96ly | At a guess with no data to back it up yet people likely weren t traveling far outside the area they live. The highway near me was effectively empty compared to every other holiday any other year. | drdabbles | 2020-11-28 21:01:28 | 65 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
ss41pd | Are Superchargers now a profit centre? | I m part of the Tesla Owners Club for my country and part of that is that the admin of the club has a monthly meeting with a local Tesla representative. Recently here in New Zealand the cost of Supercharging increased to NZ$0.81 kWh (US$0.54 kWh) from NZ$0.40(US$.27). This was brought up with the local rep who said that Tesla is now matching the cost of Supercharging to the cost to fill a Corolla or C Class. It seems this may be an experiment by Tesla here in NZ as we are a smaller market (and not unusual for companies to use us as a guinea pig). It seems to signal a shift in Tesla s approach to the Supercharger network as up until now I recall them proclaiming that it isn t intended to be a profit centre for the company. For reference at home I pay NZ$0.09 kWh (US$0.06) and while wholesale will be higher it certainly isn t that much higher. I also would understand if this hike was to cover expansion but they haven t said that s the case here. Has anyone else experienced similar hikes in their region? | Matt_NZ | 2022-02-14 06:36:59 | 92 | hwwsdia | Most people agree that they are still selling at loss. You can t compare the electricity cost to your home cost. Mostly what you are paying for is the DC fast charging infrastructure. It s not cheap to install and maintain the station so it will always be significant more than home charging. EVs really only make sense when you can charge at home for the majority of your miles. | BenTrainPi | 2022-02-14 14:17:34 | 74 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
mouvsb | Are Tesla Powerwalls worth it? | Hi I plan to get a 8.16KW solar from Tesla. They also recommend 2 powerwalls. Are powerwalls worth the investment? Also it shows powerwalls with an incentive price of $12 580. Does anyone know what is the actual cash price with installation for the 2 powerwalls? Thanks. | posey_mvp | 2021-04-11 17:18:12 | 19 | gu65wrc | In arizona we have a significant demand charge during peak hours. For that reason the powerwalls have helped keep demand at 0kW and will pay for themselves in 3-4 years. Otherwise it s really hard to make them work cost-wise unless you have outages | Discount_Belichick89 | 2021-04-11 18:30:06 | 19 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |
2jrx1v | Are Tesla batteries temperature controlled when stationary? | I was reading an article about Leaf capacity loss in places like Arizona and Texas so I was wondering is the battery pack s temperature constantly being controlled or only when the car is operating? And if so what is the range of wattage consumed by this process from your experience? For example if I leave my car in a hot Texas parking lot for 10 hours how many kWh could this consume? | emil2k | 2014-10-20 11:16:16 | 16 | clejtcc | Yes I ve had the climate control turn on while the car is charging in hot weather. Tesla rep told me this is normal to keep the battery cool I assume it could use up to 6-7kwh over a hot 10 hours. | silasoverturf | 2014-10-20 13:02:56 | 6 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
b0jljq | Are Tesla break-in s still happening? | Since rules have become relaxed temporarily I wanted to ask — has anyone had a break-in lately? Been wondering if Sentry Mode has made a difference overall on break-in prevention and wanted to gauge how the epidemic has been currently. Thanks for your input! Personally I am still keeping my rear seats folded down to minimize the chances. | dc2asc | 2019-03-13 08:33:10 | 24 | eif2it6 | I think in the Bay Area it s still probably the same rate (if not worse). Just looking at videos of testing sentry mode it still seems like it s in its beta period still (in terms of intruder alarm detection). I m not sure if sentry mode will stop people from breaking in your car but it may at least let them know to break in your car last or break-in less cars around them due to alarm. I still fold my seat down regardless. It only takes them a small amount of time to grab your stuff. The rate will never drop unless California addresses the car break-in issue in the future (speculation). If they continue to make money with little consequences or no chase there is no reason for them not to do it aside from morals. - Past break-in victim ): | kentofighter | 2019-03-13 09:12:25 | 29 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
1ibzef | Are Tesla cars Jailbroken yet? What will you do when you have control of the car? | Last night I fell asleep to this idea. The current Tesla cars are like the original iPhone it was amazing but there were plenty of ideas and innovations that Apple didn t have the resources or will to apply. With the electronic nature of the new Tesla it will be developed by its users whether Tesla likes it or not. When will there be a Trapster app built into the central computer ( www.trapster.com )? Who will sell the first from mounted video camera that gives the car vision? When will I be able to sync the flashing of individual blinker and dome lights to my Mexican Ranchera music as slow cruise around the Sonic drive in? As a parent why can t I remotely speak through the audio system so when my son is out past his curfue I can Voice of God tell him to zip up his pants and get home right now? And I can see that he is in the exact same make out spot where I accidentally impregnated his mother and made his sorry ass. Ahh the memories that will be made in that car. | wasthespyingendless | 2013-07-15 10:54:01 | 27 | cb2zf01 | It may be possible but I wouldn t do it. I ll take a chance at bricking my old iPhone but not a $69 000 car.

55zf7y | Are Tesla connected to the Internet continuously - and if so who pays? | I have a question about Internet connectivity when driving or even sitting in a Tesla. Actually it s not a question that is only relevent to Tesla..... Is my understanding (and I may well be completely wrong) that the Tesla is always connected to the Internet in order to be able to download software updates etc. This also allows passengers to access an in-car WiFi (maybe I m also wrong about this?) So - my question is who pays for this continuous connectivity? Does it vary by country? I would be really interested to find out more and maybe have some of my assumptions confirmed or refuted....... | b4rrygreen | 2016-10-05 13:20:47 | 49 | d8eyhc1 | At least in the US it s AT& T. Tesla pays for something like 4-7 years. Someone with an older car can vouch for whether Tesla is still paying for their connection or they ve had to start paying for it. | procupine14 | 2016-10-05 13:24:49 | 30 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
hz1bj2 | Are Tesla solar panel golf ball safe | Hi guys Before I potentially purchase Tesla s Solar Panels can they withstand a golf ball shot? We live right on a PAR 3 and would like to avoid a stupid purchase if they are broken easily. & #x200B Thanks | cr3ighton | 2020-07-27 21:29:14 | 38 | fzg5gp1 | Probably depends on the velocity trajectory of the ball. Tesla now uses Q.Cell G6+ panels which are certified hail resistant. Their test consists of firing 35 mm balls of ice with a mass of 20.7 grams at a speed of 27.2 m s (about 60 MPH) and the panels have to show no visual defects and suffer no more than a 5% loss in generation as a result. Of course the typical golf ball weighs about twice as much but hopefully by the time it makes it to your roof it will have slowed down. Let me know if you need a referral code for your solar order. | mishengda | 2020-07-27 21:41:01 | 33 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |
h17cm9 | Are Tesla vehicles a target for people? | I am on the wait list to buy a telsa (cyber truck). I might be one of the first ones in my area to have one depending on production roll out. But I see so many vids of people keying teslas and such. I m wondering are Tesla vehicles a target for people? They gonna take a bat to the cyber truck to test my doors or windows out if I park it someplace to go shopping? | Marvin2021 | 2020-06-11 20:31:03 | 10 | ftqfp61 | I m sure some people target them but there are really no other cars that can record all activity when your car is parked - so they reason you see so much is because people are actually able to capture it. | Cache_4_Gold | 2020-06-11 20:39:10 | 42 | Revolutionary Tesla Cybertruck |
ivpifg | Are Teslas just blind to 65mph signs? | Model 3 owner here: why will my car not recognize a 65mph sign? The speed limit recognition is working very well since the latest update EXCEPT for 65mph. Which happens to be the speed on the interstate I travel every day. So autopilot defaults to 45mph and I have to steer my car like some sort of peon in normal cruise control. | folkster | 2020-09-19 09:35:43 | 26 | g5swrs9 | > Speed Assist now leverages your car s cameras to detect speed limit signs to improve the accuracy of speed limit data **on local roads**. That s from the release notes. It s not super consistent right now: I ve seen my car recognize a few interstate speed limit signs and render them in the visualization but not actually adjust the detected speed limit on interstates. | thisisreadonly | 2020-09-19 10:53:40 | 36 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
4v64q1 | Are Teslas less prone to theft since they require OTA updates etc? | I m thinking with the software and network connectivity being so key to these cars can Tesla manage the software similar to Apple making it next to impossible to steal and reuse an iPad? | thegotoITguy | 2016-07-29 11:29:37 | 25 | d5vr3mf | The fact that you can track it with an app also helps. Also yes a stolen Tesla can be traced via updates or any tiime it connects to a network (I think each car has a supercharger signature too) so unless it is being pulled apart for batteries and such it is pointless to steal. I m surprised this isn t marketed more TBH | sweintraub | 2016-07-29 11:36:37 | 34 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
b5vxis | Are all new Supercharger stations going to be V3? | Tesla is slated (delayed) to open our first service center in the next few months (originally slated to open Jan 19.) With the opening of the service center comes our city s first Supercharger! Do you think we will get v3 or v2 since it hasn t completed construction yet? | sbonnot1 | 2019-03-26 21:59:18 | 25 | ejgassi | Only after a few months will they mostly be v3. Some places might get v2 hand me downs as well. High volume sites will get v3 first. | Vintagesysadmin | 2019-03-26 22:19:14 | 14 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
6pj989 | Are all service centers being stocked up with S and X s? | I ve lived just a few minutes away from the Charlotte service center for about a year now and notice that this past month nearly every parking spot is full of brand new cars with the film still on organized by color. I ve never seen so many here before. Is Tesla just stocking up on them before production is focused on the 3? | JoeyDee86 | 2017-07-25 21:09:37 | 17 | dkpq5a6 | My guess is Tesla is stockpiling a bunch of vehicles so the experienced tech s can be shifted over too the mode 3 production line and get it up and running. | jordanloewen | 2017-07-25 21:12:10 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
bl86fs | Are any Miami locals able to help with scouting out an unusual supercharger location? | The following post was recently made on the supercharge.info forum: https: forum.supercharge.info t new-supercharger-station-just-popped-up-in-map-brickell-miami 556 2 There are many unusual things about this supercharger: * It s only 4 stalls - not very common in the USA these days. * It s marked as 63kW. Now that is weird. * It is within a couple of blocks of two other superchargers with a combined total of 23 stalls. * It is visible on the in-car navigation system but it s not on Tesla s map on their website. Someone on Tesla Motors Club went to look for the supercharger there and couldn t find it. The strangest thing is the charge speed rating. Interestingly enough if the 63 is actually a rounded 62.5 then 62.5 kW x 4 = 250 kW - the same rating per stall of Teslas V3 supercharger. I m certainly not suggesting that this is V3 but they could be using the same backend hardware to simplify. It is listed as Mary Brickell Centre - SW 10th Street - 3rd floor if anyone in Miami who is as baffled as the rest of us wants to go find out the answers? | ChuqTas | 2019-05-06 05:49:12 | 17 | emmgzzw | It s just urban charger but (probably because they cannot get the power connections?) it s just limited to 63kW instead of usual 75. id : 2085 site_id : 2085 site_type : UC name : Miami FL - Mary Brickell Village street : SW 10th Street - 3rd floor city : Miami country : United States expected_open_date : 2019-05-02 open_to_public : true access_type : Public qb_name : Miami FL - Mary Brickell Village elevation : 1.0 max_power : 63 public_stall_count : 4 This is the distribution of power seen across entire SC list: max_power : 0 max_power : 116 max_power : 119 max_power : 120 max_power : 150 max_power : 58 max_power : 63 max_power : 67 max_power : 73 max_power : 75 max_power : 88 max_power : 91 the 0 is kind of interesting so I looked it up it s in China with 0 stalls huh? id : 867 site_id : 867 site_type : SC name : Beijing - Youth Road Subway street : null city : Beijing country : China expected_open_date : 2016-05-05 open_to_public : true access_type : Public qb_name : Beijing - Youth Road Subway elevation : 37.0 max_power : 0 public_stall_count : 0 connectors : { type2_stall_count : 0 ccs_stall_count : 0 } | greentheonly | 2019-05-06 06:04:43 | 16 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
rzsqxx | Are cold weather improvements related to traction control? | Just had snow and the roads were awful. Took LR 3 with year-old Michelin Crossclimate tires out. The car has always been good in the snow but conditions were quite bad and the back roads I was driving were challenging.

6r5b97 | Are electronically controlled vents the new self-presenting door handles or falcon wing doors? | Considering the lengths that Tesla has gone to to reduce the cost and complexity of manufacturing the Model 3 does anyone else think that the vents being controlled by the touch screen is an overly complex solution to a nonexistent problem?

3d2oq1 | Are hybrids slowly dying because of EV s? | I keep reading articles and I see how many EV s are sold compared to hybrids lately. Tesla is the best seller by volume obviously. For example you can buy a Prius for $5k-$7k off msrp which tells me Toyota is shaking in their boots. Tesla Chevy and Nissan are the main ones in the EV market and Toyota certainly recognizes it. I could buy a Prius for around $20k-$22k right now instead of waiting for a Model 3. I have huge concerns though. Prius is a reliable car but I worry about the depreciation after the EV s start taking over and nobody wants a hybrid as badly as they once did. | Alabaster13 | 2015-07-13 01:16:48 | 15 | ct19d7a | In a word: Yes. People who have the means and want to protect the environment are all switching to EVs. That basically leaves eco-conscious apartment dwellers to the hybrid market and almost no one else. This is mainly because people who just want to save money aren t buying hybrids because gas prices are so low. That said if you buy a Prius now and wait two years* for the Model 3 you should actually be okay. In two years the gas prices are likely to come back driving up the prices and demand for hybrids again. ------------------ [*Tesla time.](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 3au3te tesla_refutes_reports_of_model_3_delay_to_2018 csg53ay) | stevejust | 2015-07-13 01:46:40 | 14 | Tesla Dominance in EV Batteries |
34qvoc | Are jobs at the Nevada giga-factory highly selective like the Tesla engineering jobs in California? And work-life balance? | I graduated a year ago with a ChemE degree from an average state university (3.5 GPA). I have been working as a controls engineer for a mid-size consulting company since then. It feels very boring and I don t see much growth potential with my current company. I have done a fair amount of independent study and am working towards some fruit to show for it. I read they re contractually obligated by the state to hire 51%+ from within Nevada so I m wondering if I d have any chance as an out-of-stater. I don t have that top-tier pedigree whether from school name or project experience but I think my background is still relevant to a handful of their posted jobs. So... does anyone know what it s like trying to get a job with Tesla in Nevada? Is it as selective as in California? Will the work-life balance be as skewed as their Glassdoor reviews for jobs in California? | curious95 | 2015-05-03 19:44:00 | 19 | cqx8l54 | The place is not even built and functioning there is no way to tell what it will be like. The only thing you could bank on is no life balance at all. You will be there endless hours just like fremont. No reason not to apply though. Fremont is still growing you could allways start there and transfer. | bsarocker | 2015-05-03 20:39:28 | 7 | Pursuing Career at Tesla |
6pglbu | Are lane centering auto steering ACC and self parking from other manufacturers equivalent to the current state of Autopilot? | I ve seen videos from Honda Civic (LKAS + ACC) and Volvo owners (Pilot Assist) and they appear to function similar to Autopilot as they can hold themselves in a lane and accelerate decelerate independently.
