1ru6a4 | Does anyone know if Tesla s Supercharger map is outdated? | On their [website](http: www.teslamotors.com supercharger) they have a supercharger station map. It has a Today view and a projected view for Fall 2013 . Umm... it *is* Fall 2013. Soon to be Winter 2013. If those stations were to roll out on time they d already be out. Does anyone know what the status is? Running behind schedule? Map not updated? | flashfire97 | 2013-12-01 14:04:53 | 10 | cdr7zj3 | This map seems to keep up with the times a little more.

4i5xh4 | Does anyone know if cloth will be the base offering on the Model 3 interior? | I did some research of the other cars and am hoping that cloth is the standard offering with leather being optional. I m a fan of cloth over leather because it dampens interior sound much better and isn t blisteringly hot in the Texas sun. Thoughts? | dcdttu | 2016-05-06 16:42:42 | 20 | d2vcryf | I m guessing they will keep the black textile cloth as standard with leather as an upgrade. Side note: I love my textile. | dieabetic | 2016-05-06 17:12:10 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
57h8ks | Does anyone know if the mode S can be towed by an RV? | I heard the X can be. My father is pulling his Cadillac SUV now and I m trying to talk him into getting an S to replace his Cadillac CTS | Do_u_ev3n_lift | 2016-10-14 16:28:45 | 11 | d8s1qle | Sure it can be towed but only on a flatbed trailer with all 4 wheels stationary. And the RV needs to have a ~6000lb towing capacity at least. (This applies to both S and X) | dehydratedH2O | 2016-10-14 18:00:40 | 14 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
iibiic | Does anyone know if there are any adverse effects on used Tesla batteries for when someone sells trades back car to Tesla and Tesla just has car off and sitting in a parking lot? | I ask because I know Tesla doesn t recommend keeping your car unplugged and and recommends charging it when you re gone for a long period of time say you re traveling or you have the car sitting in your garage. I am also in the market for an S. Some of these cars on teslas site have been sitting for 6+ months in hot climates or in states with cold climates like Illinois. Any insight is appreciated. | 01colin | 2020-08-28 17:33:55 | 43 | g35n8hh | Yeah it s less than ideal and may affect degradation... but it should also be warrantied. That said Tesla should do something about this. 120v outlets in their storage lots solar panels on the cars(only planned for cybertruck at the moment) and their fancy upcoming long-lasting battery will help mitigate any issues. Additionally if when the Tesla network launches I imagine they ll just put any spare cars like that into the network which will also avoid this. That said if they actually killed the battery doing this they re gonna replace it before you buy the car. They should really charge them to like 70% and enable some sort of long-term storage mode before putting them away like this. | Phaedrus0230 | 2020-08-28 17:46:57 | 11 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
4v85na | Does anyone know if there are any crash test results with the jumps seats for the model s? | I was trying to see how safe those seats are if you get rear ended at like 50mph.

3hnud4 | Does anyone know the configuration of the Tesla battery pack? | I m on a SAE Formula Hybrid team and I ve been doing power train design for the electric side. I ve been looking to the tesla model S as a sort of guideline for my design. Right now I m designing the battery pack and I can t seem to find any specs on the configuration of the tesla battery pack. Like the number of series and parallel cells in each sub-module. So I guess any detailed information would be helpful. Thank you! | arbartz | 2015-08-20 01:21:04 | 22 | cu90r7w | Take a look at this thread.

2kou6r | Does anyone know what happens to the batteries after they re no longer functioning? | I ve heard opponents of hybrid cars say disposal of the battery is more harmful than the emissions of ICE cars. Obviously Elon has considered that when making the Tesla batteries he wouldn t be mass producing something that s more harmful to the environment one would think. We re early in a Tesla s life cycle so maybe this just isn t prevalent yet but what would you say to someone who says that a Tesla battery graveyard is damaging the earth in equal measure? | EhrenISnuts | 2014-10-29 16:46:56 | 24 | clnbf9y | http: www.teslamotors.com blog mythbusters-part-3-recycling-our-non-toxic-battery-packs | m0nk_3y_gw | 2014-10-29 16:57:36 | 23 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6ewnc4 | Does anyone know what information the Tesla Model S sends home every day? | I ve been tracking my daily bandwidth usage using a script in my router. The red arrow points to the download for 17.17.4. My Tesla downloads about 10MB daily and uploads 2.5MB daily whether I have driven it or not that day. I find the daily downloads particularly curious as they are pretty consistent. Any ideas? http: imgur.com GuTr7EA EDIT: I just looked again and bandwidth DOES drop when it s not being driven. May 25-30 I was out of town and calls back home dropped off into the kb range. | shadrap | 2017-06-02 19:39:44 | 15 | didnwza | The Tesla show did a talk about this I think two episodes ago. | a1000wtp | 2017-06-02 20:22:20 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Cars do not take long to build. With the S they built 1 car a day at first and ramped up slowly. | kerrigan7782 | 2013-07-31 08:42:40 | 5 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

oavvb1 | Does anyone miss 80 amp home charging? | I got my first Tesla in 2015 and it only had 40 amp charging capability but we installed wiring for our wall charger to support 80 amp charging. Once I had a loaner S with 80 amp capability and the charging rate was amazing. Later we had an X with 72 amp charging. Now we can charge our 3 at 48 amps and I see that Tesla doesn t even sell wall chargers capable of > 48 amps. Does anyone miss the ability to charge faster at home? I don t. I didn t regret spending the extra for 80 amp charging for my S. | olddoc1 | 2021-06-30 12:02:56 | 18 | h3kldbp | It was a stop gap when Superchargers were more rare. Now it is just unnecessary cost as you have to add additional AC charger units in the car. That s extra weight and space wasted. Plus it is pretty hard to spare a full 80 amps in most residential installations. Honestly since I ve had my car there is only one time that I needed more charge than I got at home (while not road tripping). That s a minor inconvenience at worst. | coolmatty | 2021-06-30 15:42:24 | 40 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

523e95 | Does anyone put snow tires on their Model S? | If you put snow tires on in the winter how big of change was it? Handling? Braking? My largest concern in the winter is how quick the car will be able to stop. It seems like a bunch of mass moving fast would be harder to stop in the snow. | sheltz32tt | 2016-09-10 14:45:49 | 14 | d7gz3xf | If you live in a snow winter climate you should be running winter tires regardless of vehicle. | Elite_Deforce | 2016-09-10 14:50:21 | 30 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |
gx8sre | Does anyone regret buying a Model 3 (or any other Tesla)? Why? | I know this is maybe not the most objective place to ask this but I ve posted elsewhere as well. I m a realtor and just sold my 2010 BMW 335i. I need to replace it. The Tesla is way more than I intended to spend but people just keep recommending it it keeps growing on me and I think I could swing it. People rave left and right about them. There were things I loved about my BMW (speed comfort handling) but maintenance was going to be a nightmare at the 20k miles year I was on track for. Let s hear the bad shit about the Tesla. Who wishes they d bought something else and why? EV just not for you? Should have bought a different Tesla? Did you buy the wrong Model 3? Is the Performance worth it? Quick edit to piggy-back on my own post: How do YOU charge? I own a house but have no garage. Where I would park the car is right next to the house but outside and on the south side of the house so it gets sun all day. Can I charge in the rain snow heat? I would have to get 220 installed out there but that would be easy. I m just concerned about having a convenient and weatherproof charging setup. New edit: I drove a Model 3 (Performance) and a Model S today. Honestly I was a little underwhelmed. The 3 is fast and there s no denying it but it wasn t something that blew me away. I think I just read so many incredible reviews that I put the bar way too high. The salesman was cool but seemed like he was too busy to really help me. I said Sell me a car! and he said The car will sell itself! And then they seemed to just step back and see if that would happen. The car is cool and I d say there s a 75% chance I ll get one but I was less than impressed with my experience at the Tesla service center in Salt Lake. I drove the S because I came back from my drive in the 3 and was unable to figure out how to use auto pilot so they let me take an S out to try it since all their 3s were out again. I feel like auto pilot is a big thing with these cars and it wasn t even covered in the pre-drive run-down. It was all so rushed. | JWRealtor | 2020-06-05 17:21:06 | 44 | fszqxig | Yes.

6vslk9 | Does anyone regularly charge with a standard 120v outlet? | I m debating if it s worth the cost and effort to install a high amperage outlet in my garage. Do any of you currently charge through a normal outlet? If so what has your experience been like? My current house has a detached garage plus my current electrical box is full. I d need to dig a trench for a new line and have a sub-panel installed. There is a good chance I move within the next 18 months so I m debating if it s worth the expenses for a faster charging experience. I typically drive about 30-40 miles day. | hoti0101 | 2017-08-24 17:57:42 | 21 | dm2nlff | I did for most of a year. My commute was like 10 miles per day though so it was easier for me but I *think* your commute still fits within how much you could charge per day if you plug it in as soon as you get home. I supplemented my charging with EV chargers near my office use Plugshare to see if you can do something similar. | tuba_man | 2017-08-24 18:14:29 | 10 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
beopij | Does anyone rent out their Model 3 a few days a month? | I m on the market for a car and I m too early for autonomous car sharing which can t be available too soon. I will use the car to commute but I don t have to go to the office every day at all and I don t mind using public transport once in a while either (it takes 5 times longer to travel so I can t just skip the car and rely on that). There is a service in my city that spécialises in renting out EVs and their Model 3 are in high demand. I m hoping I can strike a deal to add a Model 3 to their fleet and have them take a cut on the revenue while keeping ownership of the car. Maybe I m being stupid about it I thought I d ask. Thanks. | Kayyam | 2019-04-18 18:04:53 | 12 | el7cvsw | Some people use Turo to do that I wouldn t trust a stranger in my car so I don t. | t0mmyr | 2019-04-18 18:06:44 | 25 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
35m4ku | Does anyone rent their Tesla via RelayRides? | Curious to hear about your experiences. How frequently do you rent? Do the drivers seem responsible? | mkarolian | 2015-05-11 17:08:16 | 12 | cr5o8bu | I spoke to [this guy](https: relayrides.com car-rental glen-ellyn tesla-model-s 58554) via email a year ago. He had his P85 listed on both Getaround and RelayRides in the Chicago metro area and he said he was only getting 3-4 rentals a month on average despite his super-low price of $199 per day. I was seriously considering buying a car for solely renting but if a guy can t break even in Chicago using two services I m definitely not going to break even in Cleveland using only one. The biggest catch is that your largest target market: 18-29 year olds are not allowed to rent under RelayRides insurance policy. You would probably get triple the rentals if young people were insured to drive your car. | jonjiv | 2015-05-11 17:23:12 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

5z56y1 | Does anyone use Summon? | I can t decide what a practical application for this would be. Even if I was parking in a super tight space I wouldn t be comfortable using my phone to guide the car inches away from an obstacle. Am I thinking about this wrong? | rangerjello | 2017-03-13 14:14:30 | 52 | devbylg | I use it all the time. Going to load the whole family in the car? I had summon back it out of the garage so everyone can get in without feeling cramped of having to be mindful of the doors. I use it that way about once a week. I only use it in public parking lots when I m in a tight space and I m parked next to monster SUVs. Again so I don t have to worry about door dinging the cars next to me. Just summon it out hop in and drive away. There s no guiding the car with your phone. It handles all the proximity using the onboard sensors so it doesn t hit anything. Just tap and it handles it. | majesticjg | 2017-03-13 14:21:32 | 61 | Smart Summon Limitations |
6ny0u0 | Does anyone use AP HOV from OC to LA daily? | I am considering a Model X as my business vehicle and I drive from my office in Newport Beach to Beverly Hills almost every day to visit clients. I am wondering how much time HOV will save me at peak times like 8am and 5pm? I am also wondering how well AP works in the LA traffic? If anyone does it now I would love to hear about it! | anothermsp | 2017-07-18 02:48:46 | 11 | dkd7i4l | Beware - AP often has trouble handling the HOV lane on the 5. There are two sets of double lines between the HOV and regular traffic and AP sometimes misidentifies the outer set as the lane edge and rides over the inner set. I usually just use TACC in these situations. | nasa1092 | 2017-07-18 04:10:31 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
m6mrri | Does autopilot have trouble determining location of semi-trucks? | I have a 2 year old Model 3 with FSD currently running 2021.4.11 software. I have noticed for about as long as I have owned the car that it has trouble locating semi-trucks. On the display they often jump from two lanes over to the adjacent lane and back. Or if a regular vehicle is next to me and a semi is two lanes over it sometimes displays the vehicle next to me as a semi. Is this a common issue or is something wrong with my car in particular? | BYOchocolate | 2021-03-16 23:44:00 | 22 | gr6mgff | All the time. | socbrian | 2021-03-17 00:09:37 | 39 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
gzpoag | Does autopilot move over for cyclists? | I had a scary moment passing a group of cyclists on the side of the road and was expecting my Tesla to at least stay in the middle of the lane if not hedge over to the left similar to how it has been doing while passing a large truck lately. However if anything it was closer to the right side and I had to take over to not get dangerously (or at least inconsiderately) close to the bikers. Has anyone seen any protective measures for cyclists or is this a use case where I should just take AP off? | Hoopoe0596 | 2020-06-09 15:47:13 | 15 | fthihjw | No | SparkySpecter | 2020-06-09 15:47:36 | 56 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
63jyrn | Does autopilot use manual steering wheel override into its learning? | I drive and assume the miles I put in may contribute to overall improvements in the system. I have been wondering though whether it s clear whether the manual overrides are incorporated into the learning? | Teslainfiltrated | 2017-04-05 06:49:36 | 12 | dfurl05 | Yes I believe it does which is how it learned to not take exit ramps anymore. Elon mentioned that it also uses statistics to see what most drivers did in that area. So if one area is really bad in terms of overrides it ll get more attention. Edit: And statistics help make sure that it doesn t listen to one crazy driver who did something dumb. | electrifiedVeggies | 2017-04-05 07:57:23 | 7 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

4oabn0 | Does biodefence mode cabin pressurization have a positive affect on barotrauma when climbing or descending a huge hill mountain? | According to Tesla Biodefence mode Pressurizes the cabin... with air pulled entirely from the HEPA filter. I m wondering if the pressurized cabin helps to alleviate some discomfort from altitude changes. | GiveMeThemPhotons | 2016-06-15 23:18:44 | 18 | d4b3p89 | No while I m not sure what mountains your going to climb or how you can even feel it this system is certainly not going to work for that. It s going to hold pressure over outside so air seeps out all the small crevice instead of in either way the pressure will not be noticeable. | driedapricots | 2016-06-16 02:48:33 | 17 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
6jnzfl | Does dual motor increase real world highway range? or just overall EPA range rating? | I m an early day 1 Model 3 reservation holder starting to consider the options I am willing to wait for. I will be using the 3 to commute 200+ miles 4 times a week so my number one concern is to maximize highway range. 95% of my miles will be at 65-75mph Seeing recent speculation of 300+ miles on the larger pack is very promising to me as I would prefer to not use range mode at all to reduce battery degradation. Does dual motor increase effective range at highway speeds or just in combination with city highway driving? My understanding is the front motor is about 1 2 as powerful as the rear and optimized for the city stop and go driving and is idle at higher speeds. If this is so it would make sense for me to save money and overall weight (not to mention time) and go for the single motor first run. On the other hand if it is a 10% increase in highway range I will definitely wait and spring for the dual motor. Does anyone have any insight or actual numbers on this? Thanks. | Forever_right | 2017-06-26 21:05:12 | 22 | djfp1pg | In the model s the two motors are geared differently. One is more efficient at higher rpm s than the other. The ability to switch power to the most efficient motor at any given speed is as far as I understand the key to the D versions improved range. I see no reason why we won t see a similar approach on the model 3. Gearbox is too heavy and complicated compared to just gearing the two motors differently. | Ni987 | 2017-06-26 21:21:55 | 20 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |

lci1n8 | Does it make sense to buy used? | Looking to trade in our ICE for a model 3. We ve been comparing new vs used and what might be better financially. I ve been doing my research and it seems that in the past people recommended buying new as the difference wasn t significant due to the tax credits for new cars and retained value of the car. I ve been comparing new vs used and it seems as if buying used wouldn t be such a bad idea. We re interested in an AWD with FSD. New 2021 M3| A used 2019 w 14k miles ---|--- 46 990 + 10 000 = 56 990| 47 300. Almost 10k savings on a two year old car doesn t seem terrible. Is there something else I should be factoring in? Currently living in florida where there isn t any tax credits available. I m really itching to get a new car and the one ICE is becoming a bear to maintian. | what_an_ass | 2021-02-04 15:27:24 | 10 | glzvujw | You re spot on. It may be better to buy used. Keep in mind the battery degradation of used vs new and loss of state benefits when you buy used. | unequal_equilibrium | 2021-02-04 15:29:43 | 16 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
5f0wkr | Does it make sense to trade up now? | I m hoping you folks could shine some more rationale on my thinking and provide some advice... We ve been driving a Model S 70D with AP 1 for a year and a half now and absolutely love it. However the wife and I were thinking of switching over to the Model X at about the 3 year mark (in about another year and a half). Once we started doing the numbers and figuring out the trade in value of our current 70D would it make more sense to trade up right now instead? If we buy a Model X 75D with all the bells and whistles before the end of the year we are guaranteed free supercharging for life which comes to us at a premium because we live 5 minute drive from one (plus I believe resale value would be higher). We are also guaranteed the $7500 federal tax credit which may or may not be around in a year and a half. The Model X 75D obviously costs more and we d have to put additional money down but it seems we have a bit to gain by doing it sooner rather than later... Am I crazy to even consider changing cars after owning it for a year and a half??? What have you done to me Tesla! Also can you still get a $1000 referral credit if it s your second Tesla? | linxerator | 2016-11-26 18:51:33 | 11 | dagui9a | ... we are guaranteed free supercharging for life which comes to us at a premium because we live 5 minute drive from one ... is the exact reason that unlimited will no longer be free come 17 | hipringles | 2016-11-26 22:47:13 | 28 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
716a0l | Does it seem as though 48A 240V will be the standard for a while? | I m having my wall charger installed in a week and I d rather spend the money now and go bigger than have an under-sized breaker wire gauge to worry about in the future. | YukonBurger | 2017-09-19 21:26:42 | 16 | dn8ewv3 | No one knows. But it seems like a logical number. At 30+ miles added per hour that s enough for almost all your daily travels. If you go any further a supercharger makes more sense. A higher charging capacity at home doesn t make much sense considering how many superchargers are out there already. It would only make sense for people who travel a lot AND don t have supercharger access along their routes. Which those people are nearly nonexistent especially with even more supercharger rollout. | Lancaster61 | 2017-09-19 21:31:34 | 9 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
4qxzav | Does it still make sense to reserve a Model 3? | Considering almost half a million preorders would there still be an advantage to preordering?

6axu73 | Does model 3 lock the door handle swivels for anti-theft purposes? | One of the benefits of receding door handles is that that car thieves (the ones that steal stuff from inside a car) are deterred because there is no handle to pull on and check if the door is unlocked. I m curious if Model 3 locks the swivel when the doors are locked to accomplish the same thing? | teslafolife | 2017-05-13 13:32:25 | 27 | dhi886r | That would be awesome.

4mvgow | Does my Tesla contribute to fleet-learning when Autopilot is off? | I had been trying to maximize autopilot use under the assumption that this is the best way to contribute to the fleet s learning curve. But it occurs to me that the best time for a Tesla to learn is probably when autopilot is off -- the car could constantly be assessing what autopilot WOULD do and compare that to what the driver does and any discrepancies show the need for further analysis. That provides constant useful data. When autopilot is on the only real learning moments are when the driver takes over but that is sporadic. Does anyone know? Not to be communist about it but I do like the idea of contributing to the hive mind as much as I can. | [deleted] | 2016-06-06 21:42:17 | 27 | d3yn75l | Tesla s head of Autopilot recently revealed in a recent talk that yes they are learning even when Autopilot isn t enabled. | calebelston | 2016-06-06 22:02:43 | 31 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

vtdzx9 | Does radar come back on a 2017 S if I opt out of FSD beta? | Like the title says. If I opt out will I get radar back? I m done with beta. I wanted it and was one of the first to get it but it s just not for me. I cannot stand the amount of phantom breaking that s become more prevalent after every software update. and a basic left turn that worked in previous releases but want to drunkenly roam off into the opposite direction. My final straw was 200 mile trip last weekend. Phantom breaking was literally every 2 or 3 minutes. It was so bad I shut down cruise control all together.

3gidyl | Does riding in the Model S help to put babies and toddlers to sleep the same way that ICE cars do? | I don t really know why kids go to sleep so easy in cars in the first place so I m not sure if removing the ICE changes anything by reducing sound or the way the car handles. Being able to help your kid get a nap can be important sometimes. It would be nice to know that my future car will still be able to do this. I m also curious. Edit: Thank you!

I live in continental Europe (Switzerland) but frequently travel to UK (or at least I did it before Coronavirus...) It switches side the moment you get out of the Chunnel.

4dm5bi | Does someone have info regarding every time someone said Tesla would fail and they proved them wrong? I m tired of my coworkers saying Tesla will fail and I need research to back myself up but my Google searches have turned up little. | I m an engineer as are my co-workers and they fit the stereotype of the arrogant asshole engineer. They re also old republicans and I m a young democrat so they think I m just a stupid unwise kid. My coworkers heard the news that I pre-ordered my Model 3 and they keep shit-talking me that Tesla will fail and that I gave Tesla an interest free loan and I ll never see that money come back. Tesla has no idea how to make a mass production car. Elon Musk seems like a nice guy but he has no idea what he is doing. u beginner you re just upset with us because we are injecting a little reality into your dream. The worst one is an early 50s guy who worked on the shuttle program with NASA and sarcastically says My many years on Earth and industry experience is meaningless though u beginner you re right Tesla will do fine and I don t know anything. I ve argued against most of this but I need more facts. I saw a comment the other day listing things like - Tesla will never sell one roadster (then they did) - Tesla will never profit on roadsters (then they did) - Tesla will never sell Model S (then they did) - etc. I m getting pretty sick of it but I don t have the facts to argue back. Does anyone have a pretty decent list showing major times when Tesla was expected to fail but never did? I generally ignore it because these guys are obviously trolls who clearly don t have their facts straight but I d still like to have my facts straight in case I need to argue in the future. I wish I could find this info for myself via Google but my research has been fruitless thus far. *Thanks for the conversation everyone. I ve enjoyed discussing this and I ve learned a lot. Although the plan is to ignore their trolling I m glad to have some facts to protect me in the case of an argument. They re old fools but that doesn t mean I can t try to enlighten them.* | beginner- | 2016-04-06 15:10:13 | 74 | d1s72bx | I would just ignore it and enjoy the satisfaction of driving the best car ever made in a fewish months. | gsxdsm | 2016-04-06 15:16:51 | 55 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

m74lry | Does tesla model 3 have blindspot monitoring yet? | I have always had blindspot monitoring on all my cars as I cant imagine living without it.

vwoeop | Does tesla work in every country? | So I live in Iraq and I want to buy a 2021 tesla model3 in Canada or USA but there is no charging stations or any official tesla company in my country. Will I be able to drive it normally update the software and charge it at home? | Southern-Chest6720 | 2022-07-11 17:48:27 | 69 | ifr5soa | I think your 2 biggest obstacles would be: 1) Lack of service center or mobile technicians: If you happen to NEED service you ll have no recourse (unless you can confirm before purchase you would have 3rd party options in your country?). You could attempt to do some service items yourself (like replace 12V which is a common fail item) but other issues you might not be able to do anything. 2) Charging options: As long as you can reliably & safely charge at home with the appropriate adapters (i.e. likely a home charger with a CCS plug & use the Tesla adapter is probably the most common unless you get the Tesla wall mount itself) you ll be fine knowing that your away from home charging options maybe be either very limited or non-existent (which might be an issue for long trips). Other than that...it s a car with 4 wheels so you could drive one in Antarctica indefinitely if you wanted as long as it can be recharged & nothing broke down on it. 😁 | kewe316 | 2022-07-11 18:30:00 | 66 | Tesla Challenges in Germany |
ie39jk | Does the $100 order fee not go towards the car? | I was under the impression that when I paid $100 that it went toward the car not toward an order fee . Back when they charged $2 500 as the refundable deposit it went toward the car so I assumed it was the same for the $100. But judging from the order agreement it just seems tacked on top of the car + destination fees. Is this right? Edit for update: I just spoke to someone at my local showroom and they clarified that the final price will reflect an additional credit of $100 on top of the $100 you already paid. This effectively puts the $100 towards the price of the car. So in reality the final documents should show an order fee of $0 PLUS a credit of $100. & #x200B & #x200B https: preview.redd.it wgvv85a4oei51.png?width=413& format=png& auto=webp& s=ca92ad8270fd5ee4e18cee56efcecd3b556ff6d6 | cpmajai | 2020-08-21 19:17:07 | 27 | g2cuoaf | Correct.

k0hd9h | Does the 2021 Model 3 have an adjustable headrest? | I want a Model 3. The problem: my dad has a 2018 Model 3 and from driving it I already know that the jutting-forward position of the head restraint is a dealbreaker. I have a bad back and sitting with healthy upright posture is not optional for me. No other car I ve driven has ever forced me into such a hunched-forward posture. It s impossible to sit up straight. The head restraint pushes my head forward forcing me to slump like a hunchback. Within 20 minutes of sitting that way I m in pain. I ve tried adjusting the seat but no amount of tweaking can fix the fact that the headrest sticks out several inches from the rest of the seat. This isn t a matter of whiplash protection: other cars that meet the same safety standards don t have this problem. Can the 2021 Model 3 headrest be adjusted? Not just up down but forward back. So that the headrest is in a relatively straight line with the rest of the seat and not pushing the driver s head forward. Thanks! I really want one of these cars. Just need to know I can drive it without ruining my spine. | DangerPretzel | 2020-11-25 00:27:23 | 12 | gdi60x9 | Only you know you but... on getting my Model 3 I also hated the headrest but within a week or two it became fine if anything better that previous vehicles. | SpellingJenius | 2020-11-25 00:49:50 | 12 | Car seat configurations in Tesla |

6k7xbx | Does the battery capacity affect maximum regen braking intensity? | My thought is that since the maximum charging rate of the battery depends on its capacity would a larger battery have a stronger regen braking effect? Or is the maximum regen capped in such a way that even the smallest capacity batteries reach the maximum? Regen braking was the feature I liked most when I test drove a Model S and if a larger battery increases the regen that might be another reason to choose a higher capacity battery. Not having to use the brake at all is just amazing.

b9xjp9 | Does the motor turn in the opposite direction in Reverse or is it through mechanical gearing | I was watching this video talking about Tesla and other EV motors ( [https: youtu.be pgu6mkKZwNg?t=9m14s](https: youtu.be pgu6mkKZwNg?t=9m14s) ) and in it they showed how the stator induces the motor to turn by pulling the magnetic fields. I was wondering if the motors are designed to also go in the opposite direction for Reverse or is it spinning in just one direction and reverse is done through gearing reversal just like in reciprocal ICE engines? & #x200B & #x200B | Waiting_for_Model3 | 2019-04-05 22:25:28 | 12 | ek7kzh0 | The motor turns in the opposite direction. | lambaus | 2019-04-05 22:27:08 | 32 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
5lj3rt | Does the new 2.0 update improve blind spot warning? | As a current Lexus Volvo and Audi owner I m used to the blind spot sensors on the mirrors which have almost become a standard feature on even base model cars. When I test drive the tesla I was almost ready to buy one when I noticed this basic feature was absent. I was told my sales agent that this feature would be avail with upcoming updates but I m obviously not going to drop 100k on a verbal promise and would like to see it in person. If anyone has had the 2.0 update I d love to hear if this basic yet crucial feature has now been added?

iyyk1a | Does the new 4860 cell revolutionize non vehicle batteries as well? | Can other battery companies begin integrating this technology and start implementing it into other battery applications like to replace current cobalt lithium ions. Can it be used to develop better AA or AAA batteries? How exactly does this affect the non vehicle battery market. | BabyPandaJr | 2020-09-24 14:44:43 | 33 | g6fyzfy | IMHO I would love it if Tesla used the new cells to drastically reduce noise pollution from gas mowers and other tools gardeners use around here. It s ridiculous how loud those stupid two stroke engines are. Never mind the pollution... I would think the form factor is fine for garden power tools.

2v4wad | Does the pano roof on the Model S weigh more? | I ve seen mention on other cars that adding a sunroof moonroof adds a decent amount of weight to the vehicle. So... 1) what s the weight for a model S with the pano roof and the same car without 2) Is that weight significant enough to impact the range of the car | dbkon | 2015-02-07 22:51:44 | 11 | coejq1u | According to [this thread](http: my.teslamotors.com en_AU forum forums can-weight-differences-options-car-impact-performance-p85d) the pano roof adds 150lbs. I haven t been able to find actual specs on it or different cars posting actual weights focusing on the pano roof so I have no idea if that is true. If you look farther down in the discussion section a user snowy does some rough calculations based on weight and energy usage. I have no idea if that kind of calculation is correct (terrible with math) but if so and the 150lbs citation is correct - it seems with pano roof the energy needed increases by ~1-3%. If that is correct adding the pano roof in theory impacts the range by 2-8 rated miles (depending on S60 vs. S85 and 1-3%). When taking a look at this also remember that the S60 is lighter than the S85 and also newer cars are lighter than older cars. Apparently older cars (especially those that have the reinforced bumper rear child seats) come in at ~4600-4700lbs while a newer S60 with no rear seats or pano is closer to ~4400. Someone please correct me if my math assumptions are wrong. | dieabetic | 2015-02-08 00:49:04 | 9 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
3cjb5l | Does the regenerative breaking cause the break lights to come on? How is it determined if they come on? | I know that the regenerative breaking causes the car to slow down a lot if it s turned up but does this cause the break lights to come on in addition to when the driver manually pushes the breaks? If so any idea what the threshold for this is? In an ICE car you might just ease off the gas to drop from 30-> 40 and no break lights would show what happens if you do this in a Tesla and just slightly ease of the gas to get light breaking regen?

You guys sound like used car salesmen. The Model S undercarriage isn t made out of steel so it doesn t rust. Aluminum does however corrode. And even as aggressive as you may be with undercoating corrosion is inevitable especially if you live in parts of the world with heavily salted roads.

cfq2u6 | Dog Mode is a godsend. | We like our Tesla for different reasons but we especially love dog mode. What is dog mode? 1. We can leave the AC running while away (like in a restaurant for example). We don t worry about the engine overheating the coolant into bursting because it s just a battery still running. 2. The Tesla phone app let s us remotely monitor the battery drain rate and the current temperature in the cabin while away. 3. The vehicle s big screen display shows the current interior temp so that a passerby looking into the windows and seeing our doggie inside alone doesn t feel they must break the windows to save the dog. They see the car declaring it knows the dog is there and it s managing a 70 F climate inside. We choose our Tesla over other market options for even this one reason if there wasn t other reasons too. Our dog **hates** when we leave him behind and always prefers waiting in the car for us than staying alone at home. | cooriah | 2019-07-20 19:54:12 | 77 | eubrx34 | Lol need a speaker or scrolling sign stating “this is an EV it s keeping my animal cool please fk off Karen” | buryitz | 2019-07-20 20:44:44 | 45 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

cieo0z | Dog mode legalities? | Today was my first day using dog mode on my model 3 with my pup in the back seat and both times i had a run in with somebody. At the supermarket a man came sprinting up to me to tell me that i forgot to leave my windows down and when I informed him that the ac was on and that the dog was fine he didn t seem to believe me. Then a while later i stopped by Canadian Tire and was inside for only ten minutes but by the time I came out a guy was by my car waiting and told me that he had called the fire department and shortly after a fire engine pulled up. I let the guy know the AC was on and the temperature was on the display and he replied with “ya i know but i was just making sure” which kind of pissed me off because then he just wasted the time of the fire department just cus?.... Now here comes my question. The two firemen were totally understanding today and just went on their way but say the authorities were called and they weren t understanding could I get in trouble at all for leaving my dog in the car even with dog mode on? And if someone went ahead and decided to break one of my windows would they be liable? It s been very frustrating that nobody seems to even look into the car to see that it says the AC is on but are willing to go ahead and call for help. Would putting a sign on my window too be a good idea? | kmseileen | 2019-07-27 07:33:32 | 83 | ev4zfua | There are people that drive with their windows down because they think they re going to use up all of the oxygen in the car.

hbrwjs | Dome lights will not stay on auto mode and ambient light setting keeps turning off | I am growing frustrated. Since I got my Model 3 I have had the dome lights set to auto so they will come on at night when a door is opened to light up the cabin. I recently noticed that the dome lights were not coming on at night so I checked the settings and saw it was set to off. Odd because I haven t touched it since I got the car over a year ago. I also noticed the ambient lights were turned off (despite the ambient lights actually being on). I toggled the dome lights to auto and the ambient lights back on and I figured that d be it. Nope. Next time I drive at night no dome lights. I ve toggled the settings 3 or 4 times now and it keeps reverting both the dome light and ambient light settings. I thought a recent software update had reverted some settings but it continues to happen even without any software updates preceding. I m at a loss - is this a common issue bug? How do I fix this? | idealdreams | 2020-06-19 02:00:27 | 19 | fvanqfh | I believe the dome lights get toggled from auto to off when entering a theater app or arcade game.

d1cgaf | Don t be afraid to change configuration if you re not assigned a VIN. Get the car you want. | Personal anecdote here and surely there are others with different experiences. Apologies for the wall of text. TL DR: Get the car you want. Your delivery specialist likely knows only as much as you do plus conjecture at the SC and your change could put your delivery date earlier even if your delivery specialist says otherwise. I put in my deposit on day one for the Model 3. Held off on getting it for various reasons until someone from Tesla called me wondering why I hadn t purchased. They suggested I take back my deposit and just order normally when I m ready. Cool. No regrets doing that. Finally decided it was time to order as my current car was having problems and the costs of owning a 200k mi Nissan with emerging transmission problems outweighed any reason I could manufacture for not spending on the car I have wanted for years now. I had ordered a white ext black int P3D+ on 7 23 and like everyone who has ordered a white paint recently has been waiting for more than a month when the order status page says two weeks. No real complaints about that other than the slow trickle of updates to eventually let me know of the delay. It would have been nice simply to set my mental expectations for some kind of timeline. Honestly I ll take that any day over being pressured by a dealership. While waiting I ve slowly been convincing myself that I had made a mistake with the black interior. My current car has a black interior and I have loved it but hated it at the same time and I ve been working up there courage to make the change to white. I sent the change request on Friday and I get an email from my advisor yesterday (Saturday) that my car is expected to arrive *later this month* and this change will disrupt that plan. I seriously considered second guessing myself and leaving it. I m no stranger to waiting for what I want though so I told her to go ahead with it fully expecting another month or more of waiting. I wake up this morning grab some coffee and receive a text that I ve been assigned a VIN and to schedule my delivery of a white white P3D+ with FSD. Next week I ll be getting the car I want when all signs pointed to having to wait even longer for changing my mind off the design. The delivery specialist explicitly told me the change will make me wait even longer. I m excited and wanted to assure anyone else who is on the fence waiting that changing your design is not as big of a deal as it s let on. I could of course just be lucky and YMMV. It makes me wonder if the warnings from my specialist were based on facts experiences or just the reluctance to be required to do work on my account to make my requested change. Get the car you want. If I didn t change I d probably still be waiting that month the specialist quoted more waiting for white black. Thanks for reading my rambling excitement. | hlPLrTQopqTM1pL5RTNw | 2019-09-08 15:37:57 | 49 | ezkmi5z | From what I can tell the local shops get their cars delivered regardless of need . IE you order a W W SR+ and they won t directly send it to *you* but to your shop. Then it just happens that you get assigned the car. Why do I think this? Talking with the sales reps the past few weeks and getting updates on their inventory. It appears that cars are just shipped to locations and then the matching happens. This is how I was able to switch from a Blue Black AWD to a Red Black P3D- over the phone -- the care just happened to appear in the local inventory. So it sounds like you changed your car configuration to one that no one in your area had reserved. Thus you got an early match than if you had kept the more common configuration. | sir_alvarex | 2019-09-08 17:14:19 | 6 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

I m not sure if it s because this is my first black car or the weak clear coat but tiny scratches are everywhere. I hand washed for the first year and really wish I just kept going with that. *sigh* | Eldanon | 2019-08-13 13:28:57 | 336 | ewrev6y | The automatic car washes with brushes are a nightmare to anyone that wants to keep their car s paint in good condition. When those brushes contact your paint they re rubbing all of the tiny rocks and debris and other abrasives from the vehicles before yours all over your paint. The old saying goes if you want it done right do it yourself. I stopped using automatic car washes 3 cars ago and bought a pressure washer foamer car drier and other tools and do everything myself now. It takes about an hour start to finish and the outcome is well worth it. In the winter I ll take it through a touchless wash since obviously I can t wash it in the driveway with snow on the ground. The fact that Tesla s paint is embarrassingly thin weak for a $50 000 car also doesn t help any. | idealdreams | 2019-08-13 13:41:12 | 209 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
45moxq | Don t bring cash to reserve Model 3 in stores 3 31 | Hey all I check this subreddit like 20+ times a day and haven t seen this info posted. So i called up my nearest store and asked what the details were. No cash bring debit or credit and reservations will happen right when doors open. We don t have to wait for the reveal. Good luck all! | tslaftw | 2016-02-13 21:17:27 | 124 | czz0946 | Also don t bring $1 000 in cash with you anywhere. If the police find you with that amount of money they can [seize](https: www.aclu.org issues criminal-law-reform reforming-police-practices asset-forfeiture-abuse) it on the presumption that it is related to the drug trade. | bob2049 | 2016-02-14 00:25:15 | 63 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
8vwlh3 | Don t expect the media s opinion be positive about Tesla anytime soon. | No matter what milestone they reach no matter how many cars a week they make no matter hat environmental impact they re making no matter how many people in Puerto Rico they are helping no matter how good the upcoming semi Roadster pickup or model Y are going to be. The media makes money by clicks. And the trends seems to be that dissing tesla gets clicks. None of the above is going to change that. Also the short investors and the few industries that tesla is threatening have very deep pockets and I don t want to shock you but they can influence the media with money. | alborz27 | 2018-07-03 22:46:59 | 21 | e1qwz0j | I agree I don t think there is a single motivation for the negative press but if I had to pick one.... I would say people have egos and don t like to be proven wrong.... It is best ignored ditto for short term share price movements... The only thing that really matters is Tesla hitting their Q3 targets in terms of 5-6K Model 3s per week + 2k Model S X per week and becoming profitable in Q3...... Tesla being proven a success beyond reasonable doubt will not do anything to quell unreasonable doubt... But first things first .. Tesla has to hit their targets... Even if they miss it does not mean they are doomed just that the can is kicked down the road and the debate will rage on... I hoping they hit targets as the debate is tedious boneheaded dry lame and seriously lacking thrusters or anything else next level... | M3FanOZ | 2018-07-03 22:59:26 | 8 | Elon Musk Tesla Controversy |
5zrh6b | Don t expect to take your little one on a factory tour! Min height 40inches. | We found this out the hard way. We ll take him as soon as he s tall enough though. | guzzle | 2017-03-16 16:08:55 | 33 | df0em04 | Makes sense I s pose since they make pavement roller coasters. | GeekLad | 2017-03-16 16:24:34 | 13 | Car seat configurations in Tesla |
n87bke | Don t log out of the Tesla app! | THIS IS SOLVED ALL IS FINE. FINAL UPDATE 2021-05-09 23:50 UTC: My script for generating API access tokens is confirmed working. Nikola is confirmed working as well. For more technical hoomans: Tesla s Akamai WAF seems to have more smarts in it now. Ruby s `Net::HTTP` library receives 403s from Akamai when interacting with the Tesla API from Alpine-based Docker containers but *not* from Debian-based ones. cURL works fine from either container image. I suspect that this is likely due to a bug with the musl-compiled library that rearranges HTTP request headers unfavorably. Overriding the `User-Agent` header isn t enough to circumvent this. UPDATE 2021-05-09 18:25 UTC: Auth seems to be mostly working again. Authentication is broken right now! I thought this was happening for an app I wrote for generating tokens but it seems to be across the board. If you log out you ll get an error saying something like “you re not authorized to access this server.” This affects the official Tesla app as well as any third-party clients like Nikola or Tesla Remote) (For technical folks you ll get a 403 from OAuth2 v3 authorize which is served from Akamai) I ll update when I see that this gets fixed | mrcrassic | 2021-05-09 05:20:23 | 120 | gxh4hou | I picked up a Tesla Model 3 last week and couldn t accept delivery because portions of the site involving the Tesla Account were down. They had to submit a special signed form indicating that I had accepted delivery so that I could get my premium trial started later. & #x200B I wonder if the two issues are connected? It seems like Tesla is working on something having to do with the accounts or maybe it s just a bug. | BirdBlind | 2021-05-09 07:19:54 | 21 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
