eg8hhw | Can tesla 18650 cells be bought separately? | From my quick research (and I m probably wrong) the batteries that Tesla makes buys for their battery packs are standard 18650 cells with pretty much the best power density. Is there a way to get new Tesla 18650 cells by themselves to use in other application like power banks or laptop battery packs etc? I have noticed some sellers on sites like eBay but they usually come from a rather questionable source or are from a disassembled pack that s been used extensively. | derekcz | 2019-12-27 08:11:51 | 38 | fc503n8 | This is the closest you will get: https: shop.tesla.com product powerbank?sku=8756721-00-A | dltesla | 2019-12-27 08:43:47 | 40 | Tesla Dominance in EV Batteries |

My understanding is that the system is good at filtering air from the outside in. I m not sure that it more efficient at getting air from inside out than a regular air filtering system. | FredTesla | 2015-12-15 21:26:21 | 27 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
4u83ka | Can the Powerwall be used to supplement an undersized residential grid connect for faster charging? | I m sure there are people with situations that the Powerwall makes sense (off-hour rates etc) but that s not my situation. I have an older home in New England with 100Amp service. I d want the powerwall to charge off the grid (and solar someday) while im at work then supplement my charging the car when I come home. I want the powerwall PLUS my grid (say max of 30-50A) combined to increase the charge rate of the car. I simply can t add 70A load to my 100A service but I want the charge speed boost. Based on what I ve read about the Powerwall it s not designed to work in this manner. Rather than try to appeal to the penny-pincher satisfy the real issue with old homes (there are plenty!) and offer a charge boost configuration. Perhaps the real answer is to put the smarts into the inverter to combine grid+powerwall and drive the Tesla wall charger off the inverter directly? | Graves14 | 2016-07-23 12:53:59 | 11 | d5nldis | You d only get 6.5kWh from a Powerwall which would only be around 20 miles of range. If you don t drive much and don t need a lot of range you really don t to charge fast. It would be a lot of extra necessary expense and equipment. If you drive a lot you d need to buy several Powerwalls to provide meaningful range. I don t think they re designed to provide direct power off the inverter though so you probably couldn t use it as a power booster even if you wanted to. I drive 80-90 miles a day and 240V 40A is more than sufficient. I get my daily commute back in about 3 hours. I could easily get by with half of that charge rate without a problem. | GeekLad | 2016-07-23 13:35:01 | 8 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |
3omcey | Can the Tesla Model S doors be opened at any point or it just snaps to 3 positions like a normal door? | Just saw a video about a car that can open the door to any point and it stays there instead of snapping to two or three positions. Does the Model S have this feature? I think it s very annoying that I can t open a door at the point I like sometimes it snaps to a wider angle and can scratch the car next to me. | quigloriam | 2015-10-13 18:50:40 | 16 | cvygap5 | Sadly it opens more or less like a typical door.

kp8bxx | Can the blind spot collision alert be changed? | Right now on the model 3 having this feature turned on is basically useless. It doesn t chime unless you re going into the other lane. In reality it should act like other modern cars where the instant put the turn signal on and there s a car there it should chime. Is there anyway to request this very basic feature? Is tweeting Elon really the only way? I m kinda upset because this is common sense it should be like this. | BillyNiggs349 | 2021-01-02 23:23:09 | 199 | ghvksdq | What I would like to happen is for the relevant side camera to come on as soon as you hit turn signal.

The whole autopilot system could be used for this purpose I presume. What I wonder is if the camera in the back will be used in the autopilot system. They did not mention it on D-day. The 16-feet range of the sonar (iirc) is not enough to read what cars behind you are going to do. When changing lanes knowing there is car to your left is nice but knowing there is a car approaching to overtake at high speed is also needed. This does not seem to be covered by the autopilot and thus the warning system.. | R-89 | 2014-10-11 13:58:24 | 26 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
5pnnug | Can the roadster v2 go 0-60 in sub 2 seconds? | I ve heard of news that someone made a model S P100D go 0-60 in 2.1 seconds by removing 500kg worth of seats and equipment. Do you guys think that the roadster v2 can do that under 2 second? | EsredditTH | 2017-01-23 09:34:16 | 13 | dcsiog0 | I think the next Roadster is really going to set the bar for modern sports cars. Tesla will have a huge amount of experience by then they will have introduced the Model 3 Model Y maybe even the semi truck and minibus and the pickup. SpaceX Elons other company will have experience building full sized carbon fiber tanks for their mars rockets. Remember the reason the Model S got the Lithium Aluminium chassis was because SpaceX was using this material for their rockets. The Roadster 2.0 will be super light very aerodynamic and super efficient. 0-60 will be 1.8s or so but more importantly the battery and motors will have to have a very good cooling architecture so that you can actually win a race with the Roadster. We ll see what they will come up with! | PaulRocket | 2017-01-23 11:02:37 | 15 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |

u8up1q | Can the tesla wall charger be used for any EV with adapters? | I ordered a Model Y recently and I m considering installing the wall connector into my house. My only concern is I know this house will become a rental property for me in 3-5 years time and I do think having a tesla wall connector will be attractive to renters (especially in Seattle where my house is). Is the tesla wall connector that is currently sold in the shop usable by all EVs? I think that would make the installation cost worth it above all else. I ve found it hard to get correct info on this. Also keep in mind this is an outdoor charging location so using the mobile connector doesn t seem suitable as a full time solution | iHeartQt | 2022-04-21 18:52:26 | 52 | i5njcly | Yes a US Tesla plug to J1772 adapter (like the excellent [TeslaTap Mini](http: www.umc-j1772.com index.php?route=product product& product_id=146) one) will let you charge any EV with the Tesla wall connector. I use the one I linked to above to charge an Ioniq 5 with my Tesla UMC. | thisisreadonly | 2022-04-21 19:07:00 | 61 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
4jj35z | Can there be too many autonomous vehicles on the road? | Does anyone remember the days when the first wireless mice got released? It was freaking awesome. The freedom you had was awesome and you never had that cord tugging on your mouse just before making that head shot in Unreal Tourney. Well this was great until you went to a LAN party and 3 or 4 other dudes had wireless mice too. Then things went to crap in a hurry. Can the same kind of thing happen when you hit a critical mass of autonomous vehicles? Imagine if every car in [this](http: img.huffingtonpost.com asset 2000_1000 5616c9781200002e007e4b3a.jpeg?cache=wx7yflenqw) scenario was fully autonomous. That would mean that each of these vechicles would be spewing out lasers sonar radio echo location crap or whatever to see whats around them. It s a very active process. That means the sensors on each vehicle has to deal with all that noise from all those other vehicles while at the same time parse out the data generated from its own reflected emittances. I have not heard of any purely passive autonomous systems that rely on lets say visible light to find its way around. Image recognition technology just takes so much processing power at the moment and its just not fast enough or accurate enough for use on the road without help. Am I a negative Nancy or is this a real engineering problem that needs to be dealt with in the future? | ultratrunks | 2016-05-16 01:51:09 | 12 | d370z54 | Or would they all work together sharing location speed etc and increase the effectiveness? | nodeath370 | 2016-05-16 02:19:08 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

ef7qko | Can turn on wipers and set speed by voice in 2019.40.50 | These commands work though in my November 2018 Model 3 I get pretty inconsistent response from the voice control. Wipers - set them to II or fast intermittent Wipers max - sets them to fastest Wipers 3 or Wipers sped up by X - turns on or speeds them up by X but there seems to be a bug sometimes even when it understands you speed up by 1 or 2 works 3 doesn t Wipers auto & #x200B You can see some of the natural language figuring out a command with things like turn on wiper max and it will show at the bottom the simple command understood as wiper max. There s likely more but it being inconsistent I got bored of experimenting it would often not hear anything from me or there was a big delay and then it would act even for things like navigate home. Also seems like background noise interferes some as turning off the hvac (which was running on low) helped a bunch. & #x200B [https: imgur.com a rXFCr99](https: imgur.com a rXFCr99) | zombiearghsforthee | 2019-12-24 21:58:45 | 105 | fbyu99u | my mic was working fine this morning after the update but then throughout the day it started becoming less and less responsive.

8ycpgc | Can we PLEASE fix the Tesla Model 3 Music Interface! | This is a partial rant and feature request and I would like to start off stating that I absolutely love my new Model 3 in spite of this issue. I also absolutely LOVE the sound system on this car and I think it is quite amazing (granted I came from a 2011 Toyota Prius so take that with a grain of salt). **But** something needs to be done about this music interface. Their are 5 options for playing media through this car and I m sure that most people will suggest to just use your phone or a media device via Bluetooth. Personally I think that s a waste given that I have to navigate through my phone media device to play what I want instead of the hulking screen in front of me. Also I am actively trying to not use my phone while driving especially with the new texting rules here in Texas. However the top problems I have with the music interface are as follows: 1. Bad Memory - This car as advanced as it is can t seem to remember shit for what I was last playing doing. Whether that is FM Radio Streaming or God forbid USB (I ll get to that later) all I want is for it to **consistently** remember the last thing I was playing and pick up where I left off when I get back in the car. I say consistently because if I exit and re-enter the car quickly it usually seems to do pretty good at this task. But if I leave my car for say 5 minutes and return there is no guarantee that it will pick up where I left off in the song (if streaming or USB) the same radio station if I have a preset or even at all (more fun with USB). Even pausing a song on streaming or USB ends up with the same results when I exit and re-enter with several times it even defaulting to asking me to select a bluetooth device instead of what I was last listening to. 2. USB Drive Music Experience is Terrible - Now I m not talking quality of music that plays as that is fantastic...when it plays. However I ve had so many issues in some songs not playing for any reason(formats are either .mp3 or .flac) and then on reinsertion it plays just fine. The car also constantly seems to forget (back again to memory) that there is a flash drive every time I re-enter the car which while likely related to the first issue means that the car has to scan analyze the drive every time after an extended leave. If I see that process happening I already know **I m not** getting back to where I last was easily. Also since there is no search function you have to navigate to the song you want. If you have a large flash with a bunch of songs (128GB for me) the scanning and selecting process could take awhile. All for you to repeat this process the next time you leave your vehicle for more than a few minutes. Also I ve found that while I can save favorite songs I can t really favorite artists albums or folders to make getting back to my most frequent selection of songs easily. Not to mention that the software is terrible at reading music metadata so many songs are out of order. As much as I wanted to listen to my favorite songs not on the Streaming service I had to give up on the USB Drive option until many of these simple issues are fixed. 3. Slacker Limitations - I d first like to mention that I m actually pretty impressed with the library of songs that Slacker has and I m equally impressed it s Radio generation capabilities. However the limitations of using Slacker for streaming is what drove me to using a USB drive and eventually my phone. You can t rewind songs play a whole album front to back and like issue #1 hope that if you pause a song and leave that you ll be able to unpause it when you return (instead I m greeted with a completely different track within the vein of the created station). Also since there isn t a great caching system if you get somewhere without LTE service you can pretty much kiss Slacker capabilities goodbye. Add to this that sometimes it doesn t even have what you are looking for (goodbye my favorite anime tracks) and you are ultimately a sad panda. 4. Interface limitations - I was actually very surprised to see that there isn t a major menu in the cars general settings for the Music App. I m not talking about the menu with the equalizer balance and immersive sound options. I m talking about a menu to control aspects of the music interface itself. Settings such as choosing a default media option whether or not to always attempt to show music app full screen and to choose to show time left to end of song or elapsed time (by the way sometimes the app freaks out and shows completely wrong values here). I m sure there are more options I m forgetting but that s a simple obvious start. Also there are some weird navigational oddities that still need to be worked out like the selection area and the media source section not being completely synced up (I can be playing a slacker radio station switch to FM radio and I will find that the selection menu gets stuck with the only way to get out by switching sources...I will try to find a better case to give for replication). 5. Tune In FM Radio - Tune In works if you have data but the bigger issue is that at least for me most of the best stations are on iHeartRadio so Tune In is pretty worthless in my case. I m sure others have things they like there though so I think it s still a nice value add.. As far as FM Radio I did have an issue once where while a station was selected it played nothing. It took a soft reboot of the screen in order to fix it.n However in general I have the same memory problems with the radio as well. I ll have it set to a classic rock station and then re-enter my vehicle to find that it has switched back to my favorited EDM slacker station. 6. Bluetooth Media Phone - This is what I m currently using since all the other options have proven in some way to be inadequate and currently the biggest gripe I have with how the car handles Bluetooth are the facts are that you can t search the phone for a track from the car (for obvious reasons) and that there is no time tracker for a given song that is playing. Also there aren t advanced play options like repeat repeat all and shuffle for the phone. Again I can understand why these options aren t here but this is why I wanted to use USB or Streaming which don t work well. However at least I don t have to deal with the memory issue for songs (it still doesn t pair as fast as I d like but that could be my phone s issue) The biggest issue is that I have to look at my phone while driving in order to choose media. Proposed Fixes: * Fix the statefull memory issue for the love of all that s holy or someone tell me how I can get this car to remember where i last was in anything in the music application. * Fix the USB media player being finicky on what songs it would like to play or at least tell us why it won t play a certain song so we can resolve it ourselves. * Not mentioned as a major issue but occasionally the sound system will start crackling but a quick pause and play of a song will fix it. Very weird issue. * Fix issue with song progress indicators not showing correct values or not showing at all. Proposed Feature Requests: * Add another streaming service in the US (please give us Spotify!) and hopefully one that has caching available. Also implement a better caching process if possible. * Add search to the USB drive and the ability for us to manually implement full drive scans. * Implement Settings menu for Music Interface * Add ability to favorite Albums Artists Folders or Genres on USB drive Thankfully all of these issues are completely software related and can theoretically be fixed in an OTA update. I m just hoping this community (I love you guys!) might have some answers for me whether as fixes workarounds or solidarity with my pain (which hopefully gets Teslas attention). TL DR - Car can t remember the last thing I played or was doing in the music app consistently. USB drive player absolutely sucks due to it s implementation in conjunction with the cars terrible memory. More refinement and options needed to the interface as well as other streaming music options. OTA fix prayers commencing. | demodari | 2018-07-12 19:08:15 | 68 | e29v9ff | Get in line buddy!

m3uhtg | Can we PLEASE get the ability to fix incorrect speed limits? | I have owned my Model 3 for nearly 2 years now and I am getting fed up with Autopilot not working properly on rural routes. There are many 2 lane roads that I travel on that simply have no speed limit signs and the map data for the speed limits is either incorrect or the car disregards it. In these situations traffic-aware cruise control with Autosteer enabled sets a hard cap at 45mph. I can override with the pedal but it s getting really old and defeats the purpose of having a car made in the 21st century. Does anyone know any way of fixing this issue? A possible workaround? Or maybe someone from the Tesla team would like to chime in? Is there any hope of this **ever** being addressed? | rkr007 | 2021-03-12 23:52:53 | 228 | gqr94sy | On Route 50 in Maryland the speed limit is 65 mph and you can set cruise to 70 or 75. But the car constantly dramatically slows and changes the setting because it thinks the speed limit is 50 mph whenever it sees a Rt 50 sign. | FatherPhil | 2021-03-13 01:45:53 | 78 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
b4r6rr | Can we all agree that AP needs a “bumper to bumper traffic” mode | One of the greatest things about AP (and where it is the safest and most effective) is the ability to engage during bumper to bumper traffic. I m talking stop and go 5 mph or less. The problem is the following distance does not adjust for super low speed and as a result autopilot leaves a wide gap behind the car in front of you. The gap is enough to piss off the drivers behind you and as a result you end up having to disengage or push the accelerator to tighten the distance. The solution is simple at very low speeds autopilot should adjust the spacing calculus when in bumper to bumper traffic. Edit: many people here are asking when this is actually a problem. I ll try to followup with a video sometime but I m talking about extremely slow like mostly stopped traffic where cars are creeeeping forward. This is when others get pissed if the car in front of you has creeped and you aren t budging (they assume you aren t paying attention). Above I mentioned sub 5mph imagine like 1mph like when you are on an on-ramp to a crazy busy highway. In that instance cars are typically a few feet from each other not 2 car lengths. | teslafolife | 2019-03-24 02:08:02 | 1,478 | ej8nveg | This was one of the main reasons why I chose AP.

6jw5o5 | Can we buy some Model 3s for lucky redditors? | I was reading the news about Facebook having 2 billion monthly users. That s just mind boggling. To think how many people are online. I was thinking if everyone on Facebook donated $0.10 to $1.00 for a particular cause they would raise anywhere from 20 million to 2 billion dollars. That s like nation state level funding. There is so much power in massive numbers. Anyway to the point. I was thinking... there are over 100K people subscribed to this subreddit. Wouldn t it be nice we could throw in a $1and buy one or two Model 3s for some lucky redditor(s)? We could ask Elon to open a PayPal account for this or something and whoever wants to participate in the draw puts their reddit username in the donation notes or something. I don t know exactly how to do it (one of you may propose a better idea). The only requirement would be they make a post with a few pictures and maybe describing their pick-up experience. | rlasten | 2017-06-27 22:05:54 | 14 | djhg9yy | There are a few issues with logistics handling of money etc. There is a subreddit called r millionairemakers that does a monthly contributions winner.

bozzbq | Can we get a tag for crashes so we have an option for filtering those out? | Car crashes are car crashes. Non-specific to Tesla and it doesn t really help the appeal of fatal or tragic accidents to see a Tesla involved in them. I don t know about you guys but I just goes to lower my mood for the day after I see them and I don t think they contribute anything to the subreddit.

6wbjch | Can we have a model 3 sightings megathread Sticky? | People are obviously excited about model 3 and I am too! But half of the posts on the front page are pictures of sighted model 3s and I m just not interested in that content by now. We know pretty much what it looks like by now and looking at more pictures doesn t do anything for me. That s fine and I m absolutely not saying that other people shouldn t be excited over them - if looking at sighting pics gets you excited or you just like looking then great :) But can we contain then into a single thread? It would be more organised for a start but also it would allow those who have satiated their model 3 viewing already to ignore the thread and enjoy a less cluttered home page Does anyone agree? Or have other thoughts suggestions? I think with any subreddit that if one topic suddenly becomes very popular to the point where a majority of posts are about one thing a megathread is usually a good idea. And I think it would be well-used here. Maybe Automod could refresh it once a day week etc and keep it stickied. | theonefoster | 2017-08-27 10:36:37 | 258 | dm6w8sg | I agree as long as the I bought an s x pictures and my first time doing Blank with my Tesla posts go with them.

617bio | Can we please get a practical Tesla commercial? | The few Project Loveday submissions I ve seen are a bit dramatic. Can someone out there please put together a practical commercial for those not as familiar with Teslas or electric vehicles.. more for potential new customers for the Model 3? Mentioning how simple maintenance is (no oil air filters spark plugs etc) explain how it charges overnight at a cost of ~1 3-1 2 of gasoline.. supercharging network for long trips show off a collision avoidance clip (like the one that stopped 2 cars behind) autopilot during commuting how all cars shipped as of last fall are capable of full self driving (like car take me drunk I m home type of self driving) Sumon for tight garages ac heater can pre cool heat on a daily schedule the frunk a demo of the display (maybe on 8.1?) how fast these cars are.. basically all the cool stuff that we all know but someone watching the commercial may not know.

b9qk4v | Can we really compare Tesla car deliveries va competitors cars sold? | How do traditional car manufacturers calculate sales? Are cars sitting in a Ford or Honda dealership already “sold” on paper? If so how can we compare traditional manufacturer car “sales” to Tesla deliveries? I realize they need to estimate deliveries more accurately but am curious as to how many deliveries are made from traditional dealership lots vs sold to dealers. | pkdomo | 2019-04-05 12:24:55 | 10 | ek68qcl | I believe most new cars on dealers lots are ordered by the dealerships but are actually owned by a bank usually owned by the manufacturer. The dealers make regular payments on their inventory. On when a sale is a sale I think the cars sitting in dealers lot are unsold but manufacturers play tricks there. NYT Paywall: https: www.nytimes.com 2016 08 01 business why-monthly-auto-sales-numbers-may-not-be-what-they-seem.html > virtually every carmaker is doing whatever it takes to make sure no car it makes goes unsold. > Companies regularly pay dealers to buy cars for loaner programs or as demonstration models. And throughout the industry automakers are relying on big sales to rental fleets to bolster overall results — although those sales are far less profitable than one-by-one retail sales to consumers. There are a ton of games being played also all of which are unavailable to Tesla. | phxees | 2019-04-05 12:57:45 | 14 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6qkzo5 | Can we stop calling anyone who criticises the price of upgrades whiners ? | We get it there s a lot of talk about how people were taken by surprise by the upgrades but what s not cool is simply dismissing these people and their concerns - it s pretty condescending. Having the opinion that the pricing of upgrades is excessive is just as valid as the we knew it was coming opinion and it s not entirely unjustified opinion either. A lot of us are in the camp of just wanting either a long-range Model 3 or an autonomous one but both of those push the car into the $40k+ price range which is by no means mass-market . Then you ve got people with preferences for a mix of those upgrade options including a different colour or wheels not to mention people who desperately wanted a glass roof which pushes the price further into the field of dreams for a lot of starry-eyed potential first-time tesla owners. | Tetrylene | 2017-07-31 00:24:45 | 164 | dky1nby | Get ready for the cancel your order soon so I get mine sooner audience. | Infinite101 | 2017-07-31 00:28:41 | 124 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6s6bxk | Can we talk FSD upgrade for a minute? | Like many of you I m starting to see level 5 FSD in current Tesla s as more of a sci-fi fantasy that might never actually happen. DESPITE that I m still likely to put down $3k for the upgrade. I m surprised conventional wisdom around here seems to be the wait and see route. Based on Elon s tweets the date has already passed for incremental FSD features being added that are not included with Enhanced Autopilot. I don t know about you but the day I hear about some cool new Level 3 feature that I don t have I will be seriously salty. I m guessing stop lights and signs will be the first upgrade added to FSD not included in EA. So those of you opting not to get FSD are you ok missing out on some of the features or would that cause you to put down $4k the next day? | submast3r | 2017-08-07 15:40:57 | 28 | dlaei2n | **Here s my theory of how it s going down based on what we ve seen *and not seen* from Tesla.** After all how come we ve seen FSD demos but no evidence that such a feat is repeatable? Why is the timeline so screwed up? They planned to have the MobilEye technology running parallel to the TeslaVision technology. They probably even thought they could run them cooperatively or at least concurrently so that they could gather data from both systems at the same time for comparison. It would be easy to see when MobilEye s system said brakes and use that as calibration for TeslaVision. As TeslaVision improved they could rely on it more and more then one day do a full cut-over and the owners would never know. *This expectation could be confirmed if someone were to take apart the camera module in a very early AP2 car. Is there still a MobileEye chip in there? I bet there is...* Then the big MobilEye breakup happened. MobilEye did not want their stuff being used to train someone else s and put a stop to it. Tesla was using enough MobilEye software that MobilEye could and did take their ball and go home. Remember those big self-driving demo videos we saw that looked so great? I think that was basically a systems test using a great deal of nVidia code coupled with some very specific scripting just to see if the system could *ever* do it. Tesla having been burned by MobilEye wanted all the software to be theirs so *while they demoed the nVidia software they did not plan to actually use it in production cars.* They re building their own now that they proved the hardware is technically capable of doing the job. That s why you saw an FSD video or two then nothing at all and no leaps-and-bounds improvement in EAP FSD. With the MobilEye exit TeslaVision had to go from a piggy-backing second-stringer to franchise player overnight. The training data gathering they could have gotten from running the systems in parallel was gone and they d already aggressively moved away from the nVidia codebase because they thought they could use the MobilEye as the safety net. They were left with no working autopilot solution and a whole bunch of customers who paid for autopilot. Meanwhile autopilot hardware is adding complexity and cost to the cars. Tesla immediately moved maximum resources into TeslaVision. They had cameras they had processing power but they had never actually done the basic optical recognition and car control software from scratch. Any experienced software developer can tell you that if you understand the basics it s often easier to modify code that mostly works than to start from a blank screen and try to write it. So now they re writing the image code from ground zero. Some corners are being cut. They re doing more with radar than before. They aren t reading speed limit signs they re just downloading that data from the Internet. But it s working. Enhanced Autopilot is almost as good as regular Autopilot despite the naming. Remember Mobileye has been around since 1999 and the EyeQ series of chips came out in 2004. They had a ton of institutional knowledge about computer and traffic vision in use with BMW Volvo etc. Tesla had to replicate the expertise that MobilEye had developed over the course of more than a decade in a few short months. At this stage Tesla has mostly reinvented the wheel. Camera-based rain sensing wipers seem to have eluded them but the overall driving and sensor harmony is improving. Next up will be learning to recognize things from more angles so they can activate more cameras. Once all the cameras can see and actually recognize things in a meaningful way then you ll start seeing things like automatic lane changes exit ramps etc. This is why the whole timeline got pushed back. Way back. The clean sheet design appears to be coming along at a rapid pace but I would not put a specific drop-dead date on FSD features. I wouldn t expect any divergence until Q1 2018 at the earliest. There s just too much ground work to lay that they can t get from MobilEye or nVidia. **If you bought EAP** understand that circumstances somewhat beyond Tesla s control have caused delays. They are making them up very quickly. EAP as it stands today is very functional on the highway and many surface streets if you give it the appropriate amount of supervision. Evidence suggests that Tesla is putting in maximum engineering effort to improve EAP as quickly as possible and if that s true complaining won t make them work faster. **If you bought FSD** understand that you have pre-ordered some software that you will receive when it s ready. You prepaid to be at the front of the line and so you ll get a discount. This is fairly common in software especially video games but this is probably the first time it s been done with a car. As with EAP maximum effort is already being put into the product so there s not much more anyone can do to make it arrive sooner. | majesticjg | 2017-08-07 16:28:15 | 43 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
7l7u8g | Can we talk about ChargePoint? | So I was on a road trip over the weekend. Obviously most of us Tesla drivers make full use of Tesla s Supercharger network on long drives. But there are also situations where destination and other chargers are more convenient. I stayed in Phoenix on Saturday night and had originally planned to top up at one of the area supercharger stations on my way out of town Sunday morning. However when I got to the hotel I noticed they had a ChargePoint station in their parking lot. Sweet! It ain t free but the convenience of it being at the hotel is worth the cost of charging to me in this situation as it s going to net me an extra hour of sleep. Plus I m down to support a company that s providing a valuable service to EV drivers. I installed the ChargePoint app on my phone and create an account. I initiate the charging session and go to bed. In the morning I have a notification on my phone saying that my charging session finished using about 20kWh of electricity. I also see a charge on my PayPal account for $10 or so. Pretty smooth transaction. Here s where things go south. When I get home I see another $20 charge on my PayPal account. ChargePoint has noticed that my account balance has fallen below $5 and they ve done me the very generous favor of depositing additional funds in my account. After all charges are settled there s about $15 sitting in my ChargePoint account. But the thing is I have no idea when I ll ever use the service again and I m not in the habit of giving companies interest-free loans. I contacted ChargePoint and they responded about 2 days later to inform me that due to the limitations of their system they cannot refund the funds to my PayPal account and will mail me a check within 15 days of closing my account . Am I just being a whiny bitch or does anyone else find this behavior extremely unethical? | wordmyninja | 2017-12-21 07:06:01 | 14 | drk9bd0 | Regarding the charge bit- here s the official word on it from their FAQ. If you only use free stations we ll never charge your card. If you cancel your account we ll refund the remainder of your balance. To update or remove your payment information anytime go to Financial Information (web) or My Profile (mobile) under My Account. Link: https: na.chargepoint.com faqs This isn t the most elegant solution but I guess they did this to prevent a customer from missing out on a charge session when his her balance runs out & thereby resulting in a partial charge. I noticed the same too and have a balance of $23 right now. However I must admit the number of ChargePoint stations are increasing and probably a good alternative for charging while doing errands since these are located in office & public spaces. SCs are going to get more crowded with time when more Teslas hit the road. | Gunnernaut7 | 2017-12-21 08:22:28 | 14 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
595n26 | Can we talk about Slacker Streaming for a minute? | So I m one of the people who bought a premium Slacker account so that I could create custom stations. The way it works is you go to the actual slacker.com website and create a station pick individual artists songs etc that you want and save the station. Prior to the 8.0 Update these custom stations would show up in the interface however now they don t. In fact the only thing that will show up is the recently played plus the curated pre-canned channels and the genres mixes. There is one custom component saved and it s what Slacker calls a Playlist. This is exactly what it sounds like a list of specific songs that will play and in that it doesn t operate like a station it just plays those individual songs and stops streaming (not fun). Do any of you other fine EV enthusiasts have this issue? I ve showed Tesla employees at two different service centers and they re clueless as to why my custom stations are not showing up. I m on the most recent FW have tried logging out of my Slacker account and back in etc. | Redebo | 2016-10-24 17:00:08 | 15 | d95x7af | I just this weekend figured out how to fix this! 1. Log into the web interface. 2. Open the custom station and start it playing. 3. There s an icon about 1 3 of the way down the upper page to “Add to My Music.” Click it. 4. There s a heart-shaped “favorite” icon at the bottom in the media playing bar. Click it. And now it shows up in the car! Doing one or the other doesn t work you have to do both and the only way to access that favorite button is to actually start the station playing. I do not know if you can do these same operations via the iOS Android app. I d previously complained to Tesla so I ve contacted them with this solution so that other drivers might get the info too. | majesticjg | 2016-10-24 18:33:26 | 14 | Spotify Gapless Playback |
9k2888 | Can we talk about USB Thumb Drives and splitters... | I was on the verge of buying a NOMAD wireless charger but since the V9 announcement it appears that I ll need to keep one of the USB ports free to record the dash cam. The obvious solution seems to be to use some sort of splitter to be able to get the current from that port simultaneously with the feed but I m not sure if that solution would even theoretically work with the limited voltage output of the Tesla USB ports. On a related note has anybody scoped out the cheapest reliable USB drive for the new dashcam function? | garthreddit | 2018-09-30 01:12:27 | 116 | e6w0pj1 | I use this hub splitter for my Nomad Qi charging pad and a USB drive in my Model 3.

The Nomad charges — with one USB cable plugged direct into the car and one via the splitter — and the USB drive shows up in the entertainment system plugged into either the USB 2 or 3.1 ports.

nfzkq6 | Can we talk about auto high beams in 21.4.8 please | With 2021.4.18 auto high beam can no longer be turned off when cruise control or autopilot is engaged. I ve learned to live with the fact that auto high beams (and auto wipers) are useless and best turned off. Now however I can also no longer use any autonomous features at night because they turn on auto high beam. Let me explain. (Perhaps they work better in the US and simply aren‘t adapted for EU road rules etc so this is purely an European driving experience.) 1. The high beam takes way too long to turn on and off. It blinds other drivers until they flash their headlights more often than not. It stays disengaged when I m alone and it s as dark as it can get. My 2015 Merc did a thousand times better (and also had turning lights - so much for ‚matrix LED‘ in the M3 21). 2. They disengage for no reason such as random reflections lamp posts or street signs. 3. Most importantly: it is illegal to turn on auto high beam inside cities and villages. Now every other manufacturer has this one simple trick - LEAVE THEM OFF WHEN BELOW 60KPH. Tesla? No let me blast that intersection full of pedestrians with the force of a thousand suns. It is a half assed implementation of a very basic feature which has been around for 10 years. And now you can‘t even turn it off. | gitwiz89 | 2021-05-19 07:53:15 | 288 | gyom7qu | Look on the bright (pun) side.

7djsx4 | Can we talk about how the roadster 2 completely destroys the Rimac Concept_One | How is this even possible? The Rimac is a million dollar hyper car and and on paper the roaster 2 beats it in every aspect. What kind of tech do Tesla have now or are they developing something special to make the roadster capable of what they say it can do? I don t see how their numbers are technically possible - 200mwh in that form factor with that acceleration and the top speed of 250+mph. Does it open a portal to an alien dimension for its battery storage? | snapunhappy | 2017-11-17 09:42:14 | 21 | dpycfux | The big thing to keep in mind with electric cars is their versatility. It s easy to forget the either during bits like this. The new Roadster can t both go 250 mph and 0-60 in 2 seconds *AND* go 600 miles on a single charge. That d be ridiculous. Look at the BMW i3 (which my dad recently bought). The i3 goes between 100 and 120 miles on the electric battery then kicks on a small on-board gasoline generator that can get you an additional 80 miles meaning that if you re careful you can travel almost 200 miles in a single go. ALSO the i3 has a 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds (though its top speed is limited around 90 mph) but it can t do both. I imagine the Roadster will have similar specs but scaled up. If I had to spitball an estimate in plaid mode the car will have a 2 second 0-60 time and a top speed of 155 (that you ll probably be able to pay to have removed and get the car up to 200+ mph but I find 250+ to be unrealistic) but in standard driving mode it will probably closely match the Model 3 with a 3.5 second 0-60 time and a top speed of 155. I imagine being a Tesla the new Roadster will also have a Range Mode which will probably feature between a 6 and 10 second 0-60 time a top speed around 85 mph and heavy use of the advanced cruise control for maximum efficiency. This mode is where you would get the 600+ mile range. Again just spitballing but if those numbers are close to the actual ones seen when the car comes out you ll owe me a dollar.

3ev2vw | Can we talk about the Premium Interior and Lighting package? | Recently I ve ridden in a 2014 15 Mercedes C class (yep. C class) and comparing the interior to the Model S the Model S seemed to be lacking (except for the touchscreen that thing is awesome). In the C class the lights were all a cool nearly-blue light that gave the interior a very luxurious look to it. Remembering back to when I test drove a Model S with the premium interior package I noticed that the interior lighting was yellow in color giving the interior a yellowish hue and a sub-luxurious feel. Can you switch out the bulbs in the Model S for more of a nearly-bluish tint? Or was there a reasoning behind the yellow color? I want to get the Premium Interior because the black headliner synchs up so much better with the tan seats I m planning to get than the regular color (anyone have pictures of this combination?) | enzo32ferrari | 2015-07-28 04:58:40 | 13 | ctjben5 | > Can you switch out the bulbs in the Model S for more of a nearly-bluish tint?

How many couples will share their first or most memorable ... whatever in front of the crackling fire and sexy soundtrack of romance mode? Now that we re together we need a car for our family... Fond memory much? •Hohoho Christmas dance and Dog mode: Families. People with kids and dogs. That s a lot of spending power. Creating those memories on the way to grandma s house! •Rainbow Road More cowbell: Millennials. A nod to Mario cart and 90 s SNL humor - the next major earning demographic after GenX - and a group who already almost all aspire to own Teslas as their dream car. •Emission Testing mode and Sketchpad: 5-11 year olds. Playground conversation: “my car can fart!” - “no it can t!” - “Yes it can!” - “nuh-uh!” - “yeah huh! And I ll show you” - “omg everybody Timmy s car can fart! That s the coolest thing in the WORLD! I m getting a farting car when I grow up!” •Mars lander: Space Tech Science crowd...

doc4pk | Can you add a tesla solar system powerwall to an existing solar system? | Currently have a solar system connected to the grid. Doesn t work without power. Want to add a battery + more solar capacity. Does anyone know if it s possible to use two solar systems at once? Or use Telsa s solar + powerwall and simply use the old solar system for supplementing when the grid is on? Edit: I already know you can add a powerwall to a solar system. But I was wondering if it matters if I also get tesla to install their solar panels too. So I d have two different solar panel systems at once. | fflip8 | 2019-10-28 17:34:25 | 10 | f5mhz47 | Yes. We installed 4.3 kW (or so) in 2012 with a central inverter then another 3.1 kW in 2015 with microinverters. They just had to combine in a subpanel before being fed into the main panel. Just installed 2 PowerWalls which required a whole bunch of new sub-panels installed.

6dh2um | Can you buy a shiny branded 18650 cell? | Every time a news article mentions anything about Tesla s batteries they have that same image: a cupped hand with a shiny silver 18650 with the Tesla name across it. It looks great! But they don t use such fancy packaging on their actual cells (right?) so I assume these are demo cells to show off. Can they be bought anywhere? I d love to have one as a paper weight conversation starter. I could use it in a flashlight too but honestly I d be happy if it was just a dummy cell.... I suspect a lot of owners and fans would also buy one.

kymka4 | Can you change the car you want after putting in the deposit? | Just a quick question. I just ordered a Model Y put in the $100 deposit and just waiting to decide when to take delivery. My issue is that before I officially ordered the Y I was on the fence of whether to get the Y 3 or a used 3. Does anyone know if it was possible to change the car from a Y to 3 (or even a used 3) without losing that deposit? Basically just move that deposit to the car you want? | rk15736 | 2021-01-16 17:00:04 | 12 | gjh8ozu | Can t switch the deposit between different models. | Glassyboi97 | 2021-01-16 17:07:17 | 18 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
2ulcz0 | Can you charge a Tesla car by pushing it? | I must know. tl dr: Yes you can. Awesome. | isapieready | 2015-02-03 02:46:24 | 31 | co9l0e2 | If you re pushing it down a steep hill sure! But on level ground consider this: [A human can steadily generate about 75 Watts.](http: en.wikipedia.org wiki Human_power) The smallest battery in the Model S is 60 000 Watt hours. If we make the (silly) assumption that you don t have to use power just to move the weight of the car and can put all your effort into charging the battery and we ignore other things like charging efficiency then that means you d have to push it for 800 hours to charge it all the way. Of course you don t need to do that so you could add about 1 mile of range in just under 5 hours! Of course you d probably move it about 5 miles in the process - so it d make a lot more sense to just try to push it to a charging station without applying regen than to try to charge it. | fooljoe | 2015-02-03 06:09:04 | 17 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
k2u9om | Can you delay a delivery by 2-3 weeks? | I m worried that my car will be ready before I hear back from the Clean Vehicle Asst Prog. The advisor told me that I can delay delivery if that happens and that they would try to match me with a new car when ready. However I would go to the back of the line. Maybe it would be better if I put in a new order again now to move back delivery date by a bit vs putting in a delay later being at the end of the line and risking Feb Mach delivery? Thanks! | taco_or_burrito | 2020-11-28 19:48:45 | 23 | gdwxan0 | Yeah just ask to delay your delivery date.

(Denver) | If I drive my Model S 75D about 80 miles to the airport and leave it there for 7-15 days will my car be functional when i return? Oh btw... the temperature fluctuates between 20 degrees at night to 50 degrees during the day... HELLLLP!!!!! | SilentStrike5 | 2017-07-02 05:38:29 | 24 | djob9zb | To be safe in colder weather you should allow for 5 miles per day in parked vampire battery drain. So if you re gone 15 days then you should have at least 60 miles of range plus whatever distance (including a cushion) is required to get to your next charger. If that next charger is your home 80 miles away then I d say you want at least 160 miles of range available when you park at the airport. Having said that here s at least one person who claims to have lost 10 miles per day from the vampire drain: https: forums.tesla.com forum forums vampire-drain-2 In that ends up being your situation then you ll lose 150 miles parked for 15 days plus the assumed 80-mile drive to your next charger plus a cushion which would mean your 249-mile range should be pretty much maxed out when you leave.

450k00 | Can you set up your Tesla to regularly start itself before your morning commute in the winter so as to avoid range loss? | Batteries aren t great in the cold. My question is in the title but in case I stated it poorly: I wanted to know whether through app on the display or from a smart device if you could put your Tesla on a wake up schedule. Meaning in the winter when the temperature is cold enough to negatively affect performance your car would start early without interaction so it would be at its peak for your ride to work. I am writing a speech on the Model X and how it is better than anything else on the road the subject of cold starts came up and I learned that when it comes to cold no one wins. But seeing as how Tesla is really hip and with it as far as mobile features in regards to their vehicles go I wanted to know if this was a feature. | Corrosive_Donut | 2016-02-10 02:54:48 | 17 | czubu0u | Smart pre-condition is supposed to do this though I ve never enabled it.

9lyc9k | Canadian Delivery Troubles | Tl dr Tesla s Canadian delivery customer service is terrible but the car is amazing. I m a future Canadian Model 3 owner who has had the misfortune of be rescheduled 3 times so far. The first time was on September 24th. I got an email at 9am reminding me of my pickup later that day only to get a phone call an hour later apologizing that my car was still in Chicago (an 8-hour drive) and that they needed to reschedule me for Saturday the 29th. No big deal I thought its only a few days away. During those few days I did not get a call or email from anyone so I figured that everything must be fine. Around 10:30pm on the Friday before pickup I get an email telling me that I m being rescheduled a second time and that I ll get a call in the morning to finalize a new date time. I got that call around 1:30pm Saturday and was told the earliest I can get the car is October 3rd. I told them to make it the 6th just in case. Between the initial email on Friday and the call on Saturday I got another email to remind me about my pickup. Before I ended the call I was guarantied that my car was physically in Toronto. This brings us to yesterday. I get another call advising me that my pickup that was being rescheduled for a third time due to the fact that my car was still in Chicago. Hold on I said I was told that it made it to Toronto a week ago how is it a) possible that its still in Chicago and b) why is it still in Chicago for two weeks? Was not given a good enough explanation for either question. My new date is October 11th. Honestly this entire experience has been really off-putting. Don t get me wrong I m still excited for the car but I know that if this was anyone else they would have canceled and bought something else by now. Which beings me to another issue the constant rescheduling is one thing but the time wasted dealing with your insurance company is another (and I ve wasted about 8 hours worth). I m posting this up not to hate on the company (or its employees) but rather because I want them to do better. Also because I don t see too many stories about Canadian deliveries (maybe I m the outlier and that this is a rare occurrence I don t know). Other Model 3 owners is this something that you re experience too? Please share your thoughts. **Update 1:** Here s where I am 16 days later. My car never arrived for the 11th. Instead I got a text from my rep stating the same thing as before it s still in Chicago and that it ll probably arrive by November 4th. At this point I am no longer surprised or upset just disappointed. After work I go home and check my mailbox only to find a Service Ontario letter there waiting for me. Turns out Tesla Canada filed all the paperwork to plate my car so now - as far as the government of Ontario is concerned - I m being sent a reminder to renew the sticker on a car that I don t have yet (my birthday is in November). On the plus side I now know what plate I have GVBT ###. Still debating on a vanity plate. This brings us to October 19th. I get a call from my rep in the morning who sounds rather excited. My cars shipping status changed to pending. He advised me that it should change again on Monday to shipped and thus will call me to confirm. He also told me that my car would be shipped via train rather than truck. Before he ended the call he reminded me that November 4th is still a possibility. It is now 5:30pm on Monday October 22nd and I have yet to receive this phone call. At this point I m hoping to take possession of my car before my birthday (which shouldn t be that hard considering that its the last day of the month). **Update 2:** My rep contacted me the next day - October 23rd - and for good reason. He told me that not only was my car shipped but that it also arrived at the Toronto compound. He then followed that by saying their next steps: transporting it to my selected delivery showroom and some final quality checks. He advised the earliest I could take possession of the vehicle would be October 31st (a weekday) so I delayed it until November 3rd. My rep contacts me twice more this week: once on Thursday to tell me that it arrived at the showroom and once again on Friday to tell me that I can pick it up earlier than expected October 27th! I m ecstatic. I tell him of course I can pick the car up and that I ll need to talk to my insurance company. At this point I couldn t see anything else standing in my way. I was wrong. I called up my insurance company later that night. Spent 2.5 hours with them (80% of the time I was on hold). Due to some technical difficulties I was forced to call them again in the morning and so that s what I do. I spend another 2.5 hours - of which the last hour was spent waiting in the showroom - to find out that they will not issue me the same policy that they set up twice before. I am livid. I apologize to the delivery team and leave the showroom. Never for a moment did I think that my insurance company would do this to me. In the afternoon I contact the showroom and reschedule another pick-up attempt on Monday. I spend the night researching different insurance companies. **Update 3:** It s now Monday. I followed up on a handful of online quotes and eventually bought a policy. Left work early and still found a way to get stuck in GTA traffic. I arrived to the appointment a tad late. No issue for them as I discussed that this might be a possibility. Filled out paperwork inspected car took a picture (see link below) and finally drove away. On my way home I recalled how some of you said that I d forget all about these issues as soon as I d drive it well you guys were right. The next day as I drove it to work and I couldn t help shake the feeling as if I ve stolen a car like a really nice car. Another part of me feels as if I don t deserve it the other can t stop smiling.

7s2qxk | Canadian Model 3 Res and Closest SC is 700+ km away. | I m currently a Canadian Model 3 reservation holder that lives in Northern Ontario. I m not worried about charging as they will be building a SuC here before I get my Model 3. What I am worried about however is the distance between me and the closest Service Center. My greatest concern is if I get into an accident or a hardware update happens for some reason will I have to travel all the way down south to get my car fixed updated? Is it even a possibility that the Tesla rangers will come this far up North just to fix my car? Would like to get as much info about this as I can before I receive my Model 3. Thanks! | RocketFive | 2018-01-22 02:50:15 | 20 | dt1kqgn | I would get in touch with Tesla for more info ... try the following:- For any customer issue call (877-798-3752) tweet us (@teslaservice - currently inactive) or email us ([email protected]) These number above is US if a Tesla staff member has contacted you via Email (e.g. offering a Model S X test drive). I would email them. Perhaps a Model S X owner nearby can help.... | M3FanOZ | 2018-01-22 03:00:59 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
87bd2j | Canadian Model 3 Reservations | I am just wondering if there is any data on the number of Day 1 in-store or online reservations that happened in Canada? I know a spread sheet or website was started a while back just cannot find it or pull the appropriate information out of it. Also the number of existing Canadian Tesla owners and the approximate number of owners who also get a model 3. Just trying to figure out how long I may have to wait I am a online pre-reveal deposit holder. Update! Can configure my car now! | jordanloewen | 2018-03-26 18:20:10 | 17 | dwbsl7w | There has been some info in other threads which I can t find right now. But from what I remember Canadians by far are waiting for AWD. Something like 79 percent are waiting for either the standard battery or LR battery with AWD. So if those numbers are correct you may have lot of the people waiting and more reservations will be going out. Personally I probably would have wait to get AWD but being in Ontario and with the election coming up that may mean the end of the EV incentives here I may just jump and get the first production RWD and PUP. I am a first day in line reservation non-owner myself. | zombienudist | 2018-03-26 20:33:30 | 6 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

I have yet to receive a VIN number to complete my order (Insurance and Financing).

e1jjlw | Canadian Supercharging Network | I realise that the subreddit is being overtaken with Cybrtruck posts at the moment but I figured i d ask anyway. Before anyone asks yes i have searched the subreddit for a similar post and saw nothing so if this question has already been answered please direct me to the right post. So... Looking at the [supercharge.info](https: supercharge.info) map I ve noticed that alot of the under construction superchargers are installed with fences down but are still unpowered. Rumor on the Tesla forums is that Tesla might be planning on activating the whole network at once to open the Canadian supercharging hwy . I was planning on making a trip from Ottawa to Sudbury around Christmas time and the fact that I have been staring at the two SC s in Deep River and North Bay for about a month now completed but with no power is concerning. Obviously I have the option of taking my ICE car but honestly...I d rather not. So my questions are: 1) Does anyone have any information on what the plan is with the Canadian supercharging network and if anyone has spoken with people driving the test vehicles through these SC s. 2) Is there a feeling based on other SC s openings if they do these piece meal or do they wait until an entire section is complete. 3) In the past what is the timeline from SC s being installed and (potentially) tested to them being active? Cheers! | mylittlethrowaway135 | 2019-11-25 17:42:39 | 17 | f8pqfei | Nobody here will have exact details about when each (or all) will be turned on. Tesla hasn t said anything in advance nor do they usually. One day they ll just be switched on and it ll show in the car. Given the demand of these Superchargers across the country one would hope Tesla would announce it but I wouldn t hold your breath. | Rev-777 | 2019-11-25 18:14:26 | 5 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

cwe90o | Canadian looking for some advice on switching to Tesla | Hello everyone! So I have been thinking about buying a Tesla for the last few months. I would love to have a model S but it s out of my budget. Currently looking at a model 3 awd long range (maybe performance?) with autopilot. I am currently driving a 2017 Golf R so I definitely want an awd model for the winter. I have been going back and forth on ordering new vs waiting for a correct spec used one to pop up. I know Nova Scotia doesn t have any provincial rebates so I would be open to going to Ontario for example and driving it home for a better deal. Anyone have experience buying used? Would you recommend it over new? Currently paying 310 bi-weekly for the car approx 300 per month for gas ( thank you premium gas) So it seems like I could also save a bit of money with the model 3. I would be charging mostly at home unless I can convince work to let me plug in there. Just wondering how everyone has their home charging set up best options for faster home charging? & #x200B Thanks in advance! | CTBioWeapons | 2019-08-28 01:58:11 | 24 | eya9be1 | FYI you can t really just drive to Ontario buy the car there and get their provincial rebate. You have to live there and have the car registered for a year in Ontario. There s a federal rebate but it will only apply to the SR+ car. I m also in NS and am preparing to order mine - will probably wait until the spring. | Face_Disguise | 2019-08-28 02:40:52 | 27 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
xbhdsi | Canadian luxury tax experience | Hey all. This post is for fellow Canadian sorry for the rest if this does not interest you. As I sit here waiting for my model X that I have ordered a year ago the Canadian luxury tax has been announced and came to effect. I read a press conference saying that orders before Jan 2022 will be exempt from the luxury tax while Tesla says they did not have any direction to exempt any deliveries and it will apply to all deliveries after Sep regardless of the order days. Did anyone have to pay luxury tax in the past 11 days? When did you place your order? Anyone who placed their order before Jan 2022 get their car in the past 11 days? | Creepysarcasticgeek | 2022-09-11 12:32:42 | 30 | inzgrgk | I m not sure of the rules in Canada but in Australia I removed FSD from my order to get the total price below the Luxury Car Tax Threshold then added it back on after delivery. | AusCan531 | 2022-09-11 13:31:23 | 25 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6rcnsh | Canadian reservation timeline vs. new reservations | I saw on the website that if you place a reservation right now your vehicle will be delivered in late 2018. I placed my order on April 7 so a good week late to the party yet my estimated delivery is also late 2018. Is this normal? I was under the impression it would be early-mid 2018 at worst. edit: many thanks for the clarifications guys. I was hoping Canada would get in on the tail-end of US reservations. | twent4 | 2017-08-03 14:30:46 | 12 | dl40ut2 | My friend reserved first day at the store in MTL his is showing Late 2018 I reserved in June 2017 mine is showing the same. However I red on the model3ownersclub forums someone in Canada just put down a reservation it is showing him Early 2019 now. To be followed... I m betting on these dates changing once they have passed regulatory approval and production gets up and running. | Xantalith | 2017-08-03 14:57:56 | 5 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

4cfpjl | Canadians... can we really think the Model 3 is affordable for us? | I m sure many of us are excited for the Model 3 to be released and to see more Tesla vehicles on the road. Because if you re like me my heart jumps and skips a beat every time I look at those sexy beasts. With the arrival of an affordable Model 3 on the way I wonder how affordable it will really be? I think it s easy to market something in the United States because no one really thinks about currency conversion only to find out its very expensive. So as a Canadian who has honestly no idea how to do math and has stayed away from it throughout all of his undergraduate degree... allow me to show you why we re shit out of luck (based on a worst case scenario because I m a pessimistic fuck). *Note: All currency will be in CAD unless otherwise stated.* --- Let s begin at the USD price tag of [$35 000](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 639172302530215936) and say that the CAD price tag will be ~$46 000^1. If we look at the Model S it starts at $75 000 USD and starts $101 900 CAD which is almost the same as my current currency conversion. **So now we have a $46 000 CAD price tag.** But what about upgrades? Yes. Honestly fuck the after gas savings and incentives price. To me its useless and is only relevant after 5 years. Let s assuming upgrades will be $15 200^2 not including any battery upgrades but **does include the dual motor option**. See the starting price is not a realistic price... its just the cheapest price possible. Kinda like a Jetta is $15 995 but air conditioning and an automatic transmission added to it brings the price to $23 000. Stupid. But what about fees and taxes? Well now we re at $61 200. Add the $1 300 regulatory doc fee and its $62 500 + 13% tax = $70 625. Holy. Shit. It s okay though because there are government incentives to help us out. [Turns out we can shave $14 000^3 off that price!](http: www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca mbs ssb forms ssbforms.nsf GetFileAttach 023-2096E~3 $File 2096E_Guide.pdf) This math actually works out because the total value of the incentives cannot exceed 30% of the Manufacturer s Suggested Retail Price (MRSP) because if we took off 30% of the original $46 000 we get $13 800 which cuts it pretty close. Does it include upgrades or not? I have no idea. Again hope for the best and expect the worst. So all in all we seem to have a car that has an inclusive price tag of **$56 625**. This include some realistic upgrades that I believe the average person would put into their car without a battery upgrade. Where I live (Hamilton Ontario) the majority of people drive cars that I assume are in the ball park of ~$15 000. So to me (middle-class suburb guy) a car that starts at $15 995 is affordable and hopefully in the near future we can see [Jetta](http: contents.vw.ca en models jetta?_ga=1.19696504.1728549186.1459262723) [Civic](https: www.honda.ca civic_sedan)-priced EV s in the market that won t skimp out on range (looking at you every other car company that has a poor excuse for a plug-in hybrid). Even though this may be the reality for the Canadian market I gotta hand it to Tesla for paving the way to make affordable (well... becoming increasingly affordable) EV s to strive for a better world. --- ^**1** As of the writing of this post 1 USD = 1.32 CAD ^**2** Upgrades include: $1 300 paint job $2 000 panoramic roof $3 300 autopilot feature $4 000 premium interior $3 300 Hi-Fi Sound System $1 300 subzero weather package (because Canada) = $15 200 ^**3** Vehicles with a battery capacity from 5 to 16 kilowatt-hours (kWh) are eligible for incentives ranging between$6 000 to$10 000 based on the battery capacity of the vehicle Vehicles with a battery capacity of larger than 16 kWh are also eligible for an additional $3 000 incentive Vehicles with five or more seats are also eligible for an additional $1 000 incentive ***edit: I need to address some things because some of the comments:*** * I don t know if the price of some upgrades will be relative to that of the price of the car. (i.e. Model S = expensive car with expensive upgrades -- Model 3 = cheaper car with cheaper upgrades?) * I m saying $15 000 in upgrades because it is **an assumption** of what **some** people that are willing to spend this kind of cash will get in their cars if we use the Model S as a comparison. Also using what I see in the subreddit. If you can t afford that much in upgrades then don t spend that much in upgrades. * I m using the Jetta and Civic as examples of prices I d like to see in cars that are EV s and not ICE s. **I m not comparing the Model 3 to that of a Jetta Civic class.** I just want to see that class have EVs that have good range. | marsallro399 | 2016-03-29 14:41:16 | 84 | d1hr3rx | Even for those in the US affordable is still a stretch. I only plan on purchasing a base model if I can still get the $7 500 tax credit. The base model with sales taxes and tax credit it will be roughly $30 000USD. Most people in my area spend about $20K on a new car at most. | user414 | 2016-03-29 15:23:06 | 27 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

emqra7 | Cancel road noise? | At highway speeds the background noise of tires and wind is pretty constant. Of course it is way better than in an ICE car. But with the awesome sound system in Teslas what if it could be used to cancel out the background hum and hiss of tires and air flow? Conversation or listening to music could be even better. | Famman49 | 2020-01-10 13:14:11 | 30 | fdql158 | > > Of course it is way better than in an ICE car. No it s not My Tesla is silent at low speeds and quieter than any car I ve owned But at highways speeds it s unquestionably noisier. I ve rode in multiple M3 they all suffer from above average cabin road and wind noise. Things like Active noise cancellation already exist in many cars. Most modern Hondas have it for example. Tesla needs to do something to make their $50k car quiet like a $50k car should be. | techiewriter | 2020-01-10 15:13:40 | 71 | Tesla Model 3 Audio Experience |
75yoja | Canceled Model 3 deposit 2 months ago. Still no refund | Around 2 months ago I decided to cancel my Model 3 reservation. It sucks because I had a really good place in line but decided to prioritize funds for a house instead. So my issue - I have still yet to receive my $1000 back from Tesla. I first called them about a month after the initial request after not seeing anything come through. The associate I spoke to said the check was sent out a few days after the request. Obviously something happened because I didn t get anything in the mail. They said they would look into it and get back in touch. A week later nothing so I call back again. Spoke to a new person and essentially got the same run around. I got their Tesla email so I could stay in touch with the same individual throughout the process. Well after week-after-week of getting the same I haven t heard back from the credit team let me send another email it s getting old. I m starting to lose any hope with this avenue of communication. I ve been calling the (888) 51-TESLA phone number which I think just gets me in touch with sales people - maybe not the best personnel to help with this situation. Does anyone have a suggestion on a different way I can get in contact with the appropriate people at Tesla to get this resolved? Would walking into a store and talking to someone have any benefit? They ve had my money for 1.5 years...would be nice to see them have more urgency in an issue like this. Thanks for any help advice! | runjc | 2017-10-12 17:48:40 | 23 | doa0lx8 | Got mine in 10 days. Reserved by credit card but the refund was a check. I would be worried the address was wrong or someone was checking your mail. Tesla should be able to verify if the check was reimbursed by someone. If not they should be able to void it and issue a new one. | werockqc | 2017-10-12 18:55:41 | 18 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
8aj6be | Canceling Model 3 after configuration | Has anyone done this before? I decided after thinking about it the following day that I wanted to wait for a different configuration. There used to be a 7 day cancellation period for the Model S X but I can t find any info for the Model 3. I tried calling and they said I couldn t without forfeiting my reservation and configuration money but I wasn t sure if it was that specific representative and if other people had different experiences. Thank you! | thait84 | 2018-04-07 16:28:36 | 14 | dwz13s5 | My thought is this: it s still probably a long wait until you get assigned a VIN and your car starts building. Let s say before you re assigned a VIN a new option comes out. Call Tesla and have them alter the option. The Alternative is cancelling and then waiting much longer to ever get a car. | kirbyCUBE | 2018-04-07 16:40:04 | 17 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

i0mcdn | Cancelled my order for a new Model 3 SR+ and for a used LR AWD | A new LR AWD was just out of my budget for a car even though I thought it met my needs a little more. Started looking online at used prices and saw several 2020 LR AWDs with less than 7K miles on them and they seemed to bridge the gap perfect for my budget at least. Got the exact color and wheel choice I wanted and got close to a $3500 discount from what the new price would be for a car that is basically new (only 6 months old). I was told I would have the car in 2-3 weeks and am already much farther in the paperwork on this car in 2 days than I was after a month of waiting for my new SR+ I will post an update with how everything goes and let you know if it was a mistake or not but if you re torn between LR AWD and SR+ I strongly suggest looking at the 2020 used LR AWD models. | pyco12 | 2020-07-30 13:48:17 | 78 | fzqgnsm | I don t quite understand the apprehension from other commenters here. The LR AWD is a **major** step up from the SR+ in both range *and* performance. If a lightly used AWD (especially if it is directly from Tesla) is within your budget then the $3500 off is a great deal especially given that you re not having to compromise on wheel color.

4f1jvs | Cancelled one Model 3 preorder up to 30 days for refund | Just an FYI - I accidentally double booked a reservation on the Model 3 and called Tesla to have one of them cancelled. The representative said it would arrive on my bank account within 30 days. This is not an issue but might be worth noting. I live in Scandinavia which might have something to do with it. | ammzi | 2016-04-16 11:40:35 | 433 | d256z3q | Yo whats up with the downvoting guys?

I think its great that we now know this. *obligatory edit* I commented this because 4hours ago it had like 33% upvote. I wanted people to be aware that it would take a month for the cancelled reservations to be refunded.

bbs5x5 | Cannot Maintain Vehicle Power | Just got the dreaded Cannot maintain vehicle power. Car may stop driving or shut down alert as I was about to leave the house. It went away after maybe 5-10 minutes of just sitting there and Tesla support says they pulled the logs and everything seems okay. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what the outcome was. Specifically I m wondering: 1. If this was just a temporary thing what could ve caused it? 2. If it ends up being coming back and being serious what could ve caused it? I already scheduled a service appointment for someone to look at it but the earliest available is 4 26. It the alert comes back before then do I have any other options besides waiting 2 weeks for an appointment? Any help is appreciated.

71ehx1 | Cannot Unload Cars because of Dead Batteries | TL DR: My new Model S is stuck on a train in Chicago with no ETA for delivery. My wife and I ordered a brand new Model S 75D on Aug 1 and selected the earliest delivery date available option (Late Sep Early Oct). According to our My Tesla account the car began production on Aug 28. I was excited to see that it actually took 4 weeks for production to begin because it meant we ended up with the new radar sensors in AP 2.5. Side note- Kind of a downer that AEB is disabled on the new hardware but hopefully that will be enabled soon. After entering production I received a phone call from my delivery specialist saying that the car should arrive at the showroom on the week of Sep 4. I was surprised to hear that from order to delivery was only going to take about a month. Well that ended up not being the case. A few days after entering production my Tesla account showed an estimated delivery date of Sep 16-30. I called my DS and he confirmed that the car would now be arriving on Sep 16 and we could pick up our Model S on Sep 19. Around 4pm on Sep 18 I was notified via email by my DS that our Model S was currently stuck on a rail car in Chicago and he is now unsure on when it will be delivered. I called him yesterday to get a better explanation of what is going on. Basically Tesla ships the cars from the west coast to Chicago via rail and then (at least in my situation) the cars are then loaded onto a truck to be driven to my showroom. He described the train cars as being in groups of six train cars with about 10 Teslas per car. The train cars create a sort of tunnel where you drive the cars all on then drive them off the other side. Apparently during the shipping process multiple cars lost all of their charge and are currently stuck on the train. Because of the “tunnel” no other cars can be taken off until the ones with dead batteries are removed. Yesterday he told me a team was currently in Chicago and working on a plan to get all the cars off the train and that my car should be here by Friday. However after talking with him today the team is still having issues removing the cars and now he is unsure of when I may be receiving my car. I am not upset with my DS as he has been very helpful with me throughout this process but I am wondering a couple of things. 1. Has anyone else had a similar issue to this (car being stuck in Chicago)? 2. If so why does Tesla not put more of an initial charge in the vehicles before sending them out for delivery? I understand they don t require a full charge but surly charge them enough to not cause the delay. Again this post is not meant for me to complain more just a chance to vent and query other Tesla owners. My wife and I are just very excited for our car. Thanks for your help! | cruise_winner | 2017-09-20 21:45:58 | 34 | dna5gt2 | Sounds like a batch of bad 12 volt batteries not the main traction battery. Or bad contactors so the DC to DC wouldn t work. | tech01x | 2017-09-20 22:05:56 | 19 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
psuope | Cannot charge Model Y now that I have enabled power sharing. | **EDIT: Resolved** Went back into the wall charger settings looks like it had toggled to disabled on its own after I had closed it. So it was a software switch. I toggled it back to enabled and now everything works. The toggle was also bad UX as it was not obvious which state it was in by looking. \--ORIGINAL BELOW-- Had my Model Y since May. Been charging on a wall charger I had installed back then no problems. Today an electrician came and added a second wall charger on the same 60 amp circuit. I configured them for power sharing. My first one is primary and I added the second one to it. I set the max total to be 48amps. Both chargers have green lights. And I can plug either into my car when I do both the charging port on the car and the light on the charger turn blue. So far so good. I push the start charging button on the car... nothing happens. so I pull up the app and press start charging it gives me the error messages Start Charging Failed Failed to start charging. Charging in progress. but the app and the car itself all show that charging is stopped. I have tried resetting the chargers by flipping the breaker then turning it back on after 30 seconds. I have tried resetting the cars electronics by holding the 2 scroll wheels until the screen turns off and comes back on with the pulsing tesla logo.. I have tried leaving it plugged in for several minutes to see if there is just some kind of delay. My car is already at 80% charge I changed the limit to 100% before this test in order to do the test. | exodist | 2021-09-21 23:17:02 | 28 | hdsnahy | Went back into the wall charger settings looks like it had toggled to disabled on its own after I had closed it.

8brhdi | Cannot put wipers into service mode | I m having an issue where the wiper service mode on off toggle is disabled when the car is in park etc. So I cannot put them in service mode for cleaning (or to replace the blades). Anyone else seen this issue? | jsm11482 | 2018-04-12 16:26:53 | 16 | dx91mtg | is the wiper setting stalk set to anything apart from fully off? with the introduction of the rain-sensing wipers I tried to put them in service mode but it was greyed out. Turns out it was because it was on one of the first two settings | An_aussie_in_ct | 2018-04-12 16:44:37 | 22 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6wkjrf | Cant decide on seats | Putting in an order soon for a model s 75d. Still torn on cream leather or the white vegan seats. White looks good but my biggest concern is which seats will hold up over time longer. I plan on keeping the car 10 years at least. Anyone have any insight? What exactly are the white seats made of? | viper2ko | 2017-08-28 16:35:03 | 14 | dm8of17 | **None** of the Tesla Premium Seats are leather anymore. They re all the vegan alternative. The alternatives address leathers issue with stretching and creasing and should look good longer than leather. Either way if you truly want leather you can get the Classic Black seats on the 75 kwh cars only but I can t imagine why you d do that. > What exactly are the white seats made of? I used to know this but it escapes me every time. | majesticjg | 2017-08-28 16:38:29 | 17 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6xqjs3 | Capitalization matters in SI units | I was watching [Fully Charged](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=shqDCkiRehM) when [this](https: cdn.discordapp.com attachments 288216773390499842 353719317788884992 Screenshot_20170902-215400.png) came up on the screen. Curious about what that was *actually* saying I [looked it up](http: www.ewh.ieee.org soc ias pub-dept abbreviation.pdf). Turns out the Model X gets 260 watt-henries per kilolumen.
