81fk12 | AP2 auto wipers don t wipe during lane change | So I noticed this a little while back. It got a bit dicey last night as I was on my way home and hit quite the torrential downpour momentarily so I thought I d post about it (haven t seen any other threads about it anywhere). So yeah basically as the title says. The auto wipers don t wipe while you re changing lanes with AP2. It actually was raining hard enough that the lack of wipers caused the windshield to be so covered in rain that it was really hard to see - and AP2 cancelled the lane change. I had to kick the wipers up to the first full on position and try again. So mostly just an annoyance but actually in this situation it became a minor safety issue as I m sure the cars behind me and the truck I was about to pass were wondering what the heck I was doing. | ic6man | 2018-03-02 16:41:39 | 72 | dv2uvsi | Now I want to try this out. OP what rev do you have - AP2 or 2.5? And FW version? | dirtyfries | 2018-03-02 17:12:02 | 29 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
5q31r4 | AP2 car detection | I ve been using TACC a lot this week so happy to have at least that much going. One thing I ve noticed is that the car detection is only working for directly in front of me. As soon as someone starts to merge out of my lane they disappear from my screen too. Not really too big of a problem except for when someone merges in front of me really slowly TACC doesn t see them until the last second. This morning I d have rear ended a person. I just can t fathom why it takes someone longer than a couple of seconds to merge. I m not even talking about the ones that think the merge lane has a stop sign at the end... | miken79 | 2017-01-25 13:04:07 | 24 | dcvyus6 | A slow merge is actually taught in some places as a secondary protection in case the merger didn t see someone - gives more time for other vehicles to react. Now I don t advocate a slow merge. I advocate turning your f*ing head and looking instead of relying on a 5 wide piece of mirror rigidly mounted to the side of your car. | Dr_Pippin | 2017-01-25 14:46:05 | 15 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
6mygtn | AP2 now reading speed limit signage? | One of the things I missed when I went from AP1 to AP2 (aside from the few weeks where I didn t have cruise control and the few months where AP was limited to terribly slow speeds etc.) was that the car would read speed limit signs and override what was in the GPS data accordingly. There s a stretch on my drive home that has (as long as I ve had AP2) shown a speed limit of 50 when it s actually 55. Today was the first time I d driven that stretch since getting the update this past weekend and as *soon* as I passed the 55MPH sign the car registered the new speed limit just like the old one used to. Yay! Now just turn on the rain sensor and I ll be a happy camper. EDIT: FW 17.26.76 | Mynameisnotdoug | 2017-07-13 01:31:13 | 29 | dk5c3ye | Still not reading signs. They switched data providers from Navigon to TomTom. This improved the speed limit data in some areas but made it worse in others... | chillaban | 2017-07-13 01:40:20 | 18 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
73qire | AP2 question | Just got a Model S! It s amazing and glad to give up my spot in the Model 3 line. Now quick question:. I noticed when doing EAP on the interstate the car still does some seeking between the lines. I also recall the was an update a while ago to make it buttery smooth . No complaints but wondering if what I am experiencing is normal or if (since the car is new) there is a patch when a few more miles are put on the car. | DIPM | 2017-10-02 03:53:31 | 29 | dnsclpm | Your experience is most likely normal. Unfortunately though both Elon and Chris Lattner (in his resume) boasted about accomplishing “silky smooth” autosteer the real world feedback has been a lot more mixed. 17.26 was one of the first silky smooth releases and it made high speed a lot less jerky compared to before but it also introduced a myriad of bugs including wildly unpredictable stop and go behavior with long gaps unwarranted take over alarms etc. It wasn t until 2017.34 (8 weeks later) that the behavior was smoother for most people. But still it hunts around when there s thick or double lane lines and seems to have taken a new liking to exit diving in the right lane. FWIW early feedback for the 2017.38 build has been that it has some lane tracking improvements. But yeah none of us have a perfect silky smooth AutoSteer yet. It s more of needing to take Elon s descriptions with a huge grain of salt despite the media loving to just repeat hype without doing their due journalistic diligence.... | chillaban | 2017-10-02 03:59:38 | 17 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
6xttv0 | AP2 upgrade option gone from MyTesla. | I ve been checking MyTesla sporadically(looking for price drops). I just noticed today that the option to upgrade to Enhanced Auto Pilot is gone. Anyone heard anything? | Doc_Ox | 2017-09-03 15:42:18 | 42 | dmij52h | This might just be a software fluke on the website. I don t have the option to buy any upgrades anymore. I have a software locked 60D and don t have the option to upgrade to 75 or buy autopilot. Hopefully they re not removing the ability to buy these options... I was planning on buying both at some point in the future. Edit: All upgrade options are back on MyTesla. No changes to price or anything. | Gur814 | 2017-09-03 17:35:45 | 20 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
c65vng | AP2.0 Sentry mode behaviour | So I noticed some strange behaviour today (it could have been a glitch) but as I approached the car (2017 Model S AP2.0) a woman was about 10 metres in front of me. She triggered the fake sentry mode but as well as Hal s eye a video (I m assuming from the reverse camera) popped up on the screen. As I got nearer the car key disabled sentry mode but I m wondering if it was a glitch or a new feature? | Burntbigtoe | 2019-06-27 14:01:53 | 17 | es6bia3 | Mine does this if the rearview camera feed was up prior to entering sentry mode. I leave it up all the time to provide yet another rear view while driving because I find the Model S rearview to be less than ideal. Its been doing that since sentry (crippled sentry) first rolled out to AP2. I had a thread with a photo and the rear view camera up along with the HAL eye. | MinerTheory | 2019-06-27 14:24:01 | 5 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
5ssj3i | AP2.0 owners do you have logs from your home router to see how much data your car is sending Tesla? | I m super curious about how much data the cars are sending back to Tesla. Are they sending hours of raw video from all 8 cameras? Are they sending multiple GBs of data every night? I haven t seen this discussed anywhere. | OompaOrangeFace | 2017-02-08 12:58:36 | 73 | ddhiehg | I m an AP 2.0 owner. While on my home Wifi my Tesla has uploaded 300 MB of data. It has also downloaded 8.2 GB of data but I know that my car downloaded a few updates while I ve been away from home.

6eh27n | AP2: Grinding noise when TACC slows to a stop. | I ve already setup a service appointment for this but I m curious if anyone else has experienced it. When I have TACC active just as the car slows to a stop I can hear a very very subtle grinding noise coming from the driver s wheel well area. It seems to come and go or perhaps gets worse the longer I have TACC on in a session . When I first noticed it it was very pronounced and clearly something was not right. Now I have to really focus and listen (music off air off windows up) in order to hear it. I ll still bring it in since something must be wrong under there but I expect it may be difficult to diagnose. Any thoughts?

6jprzx | AP3 HW3 soon | I was sifting through some EAP code and saw some things that would make for a great speculation piece I think. So we all know Model S X are at HW2 AP2 now and it s the latest and greatest and would remain so right? Well Model3 AP is actually HW2.5 (with some meaningful changes over HW2). And not only that the car itself is referred to as legacy m3 (similarly to legacy msr and legacy mx references of the other cars from before). HW3 AP3 is soon to be announced? Possibly even during 3 reveal to ensure that the (new) S X remain better cars over 3? | greentheonly | 2017-06-27 02:22:25 | 60 | djg44lt | > And not only that the car itself is referred to as legacy m3 Simple misunderstanding. That code is actually for the BMW M3. | StapleGun | 2017-06-27 02:42:55 | 74 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
a3cq4w | AT& T is killing me - TM3 wake issues | We live in a weak AT& T coverage area and our garaged Model 3 often is unable to wake either through the app or wake API calls directly. The fix for this so far is to physically open the door of the car. Now that cold weather is here (Chicago area) I d really like to be able to consistently start the climate control from the app w o doing this. I ve also mounted one of Amazon s IoT buttons in the garage for quick unlock lock charge port control which is also worthless if the car cannot be woken from sleep. & #x200B Note I m convinced this is a coverage issue and not a software bug - at work the vehicle is parked outside in an area with decent coverage and wake has consistently worked. & #x200B Aside from pricey whole house signal boosters are there any workarounds for waking the vehicle from the app with LTE coverage issues? Persistent wifi? Slightly ironic but we have AT& T mobiles in our house and use their now discontinued microcell box (femtocell) which works great but do not support Tesla AT& T SIMs. & #x200B & #x200B & #x200B | jehowe | 2018-12-05 14:24:52 | 12 | eb51sko | This is imperfect but... are you close enough to the car for Bluetooth? If you are it will say Connected under Phone Key even while trying to wake up. One thing it seems you can do over Bluetooth alone prior to any wake up is Unlock the doors. That seems to force the car to ping the server. It s kind of like opening the door as you mention. Next time try to unlock and see if that prompts a wake up. | sabasaba19 | 2018-12-05 14:31:02 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6w565w | AWD Model 3 may not have more range than RWD | TL DR: Tesla Model 3 uses motors with permanent magnets in the rotor that will cause losses that may offset gains from different gear ratios in front vs. rear motor. Long story: I don t drive often. But when I drive I do it on the Autobahn and for distances (~250mi) that are on the edge of what is possible with a Tesla on a single charge depending on range charge or not weather wind speed etc. So a few miles of range may make the difference between having to charge in between or not. Yes I may have to take a break from driving (or not with EAP FSD) anyhow but having to charge limits my choice in when and where I stop. So it s kind of an inconvenience. That s why I want the LR Model 3. And aero wheels. And AWD. AWD? On the Model S it makes a 3-4% difference in range and that alone might be worth it. Model 3 however: different story. As we know by now Model 3 uses PM motors which are more efficient than the induction motors used in the S X. However they have different loss characteristics. Which is important when you want to optimize range with two motors. My understanding is that in a Model S X at a given speed only one motor will operate and the other will rotate along without any load. In a (rotating) induction motor at no load you have some mechanical losses and that s it. There s no currents and no magnetic fields. In a PM motor however the rotor always has a magnetic field and if you rotate that against the stator there will be additional losses from induced (eddy) currents. Let s try to quantify those losses. Suppose we have an LR Model 3 with 75 kWh of usable energy and 310 miles of range at 62mph. That translates to 5 hours of driving at 15 kW. Some [random paper I found](https: www.calnetix.com sites default files 7.pdf) has a graph for no-load loss vs. rotational speed for a 120kW motor. According to [wikipedia](https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Tesla_Model_3) Model 3 s rear motor is a bit bigger: 192kW. Let s assume both motors in the AWD car have the same size and one of those has no load. Further assume that the rotational speed of the motors is [about 10k RPM](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 2p5v3k a_tesla_doesnt_have_a_gearbox_confused cmu23er ). In fig. 8 (p. 5) of that paper that s roughly 250W of losses at 10k RPM for 120kW. Scaling this proportionally gives us 400W for a 192kW motor. 400W of losses that is 2.67% of those 15 kW that we are using. Which is around the same magnitude as the range gains of an AWD Model S. So if you were waiting for the AWD Model 3 only for the increased range: maybe reconsider. edit: this assumes that both motors are PM. As commenters have pointed out it would make sense to make the second motor an induction motor which would practically eliminate those extra losses. | 1188213b | 2017-08-26 11:59:52 | 117 | dm5enrx | Great observation. I think I ve heard about a hybrid setup in the subreddit though (meaning a combination of PM motor and induction motor)? With both you can use the PM to provide a baseload and the induction kicks in when needed generally having negligible losses. | 2358452 | 2017-08-26 12:32:19 | 29 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |
61b4x3 | AWD Model 3 still likely to get the tax credit | I asked: https: twitter.com elonmusk status 845355766357737472 @elonmusk 👍🏻 Will AWD deliver in time to benefit from the $7.5k federal subsidy? At least for those of us who lined up on day 1? 🙏🏻 @nickbaum I believe so | nickbaum | 2017-03-24 19:39:19 | 58 | dfd4rv5 | Even 6-9 months from Model 3 launch (July) as opposed to 6-9 months from today would likely meet this. I expect Tesla to reach 200 000 US sales in 4Q17 meaning 2Q18 would be the first quarter with the $3750 credit. | racing26 | 2017-03-24 19:50:15 | 17 | EV Tax Credit Impact |
cwr07o | AWD Owners: Do You Regret Not Springing for the P | Title. I had originally planned to buy the RWD but then after thinking about it I realized that I would have less range anxiety to just step it up to the dual motor AWD. My old car used to go 0-60 in 5.7 so going down to 4.4 was a BIG jump. But as I read more and more of other users experiences a part of me wonders if I should have went with the P model for $6500 more. On the flip side the price kept creeping up and up and I had already spent a couple thousand more than what I had planned to (+9000). At that point I would have spent 15K more than what I had originally expected but still there is a small part of me that wonders if I made the right decision. Of course at this point theres no chance at all I can swap it out its been two weeks I sent in my rebate etc etc. I m just curious if there are others that **were** in my situation and if that feeling of what if went away. | eatcabbage | 2019-08-28 21:16:19 | 34 | eye0g3v | At the time the price difference was too much to justify. But if I had to buy one now I would get it for sure. Still have the what if feeling. I m not a track person but I would sure enjoy the acceleration. | SuperHighMileage | 2019-08-28 21:18:46 | 77 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |
8ynbst | AWD VS. RWD First Production resale | I got the first production Model 3 the second I was able to configure and have had it for a couple months. Didn t want to risk losing the tax credit waiting for the AWD models. But now that I know i could have waited to get the full tax credit and AWD I m kind of bummed. What do you guys think the difference in resale will be? I don t regret taking delivery as this is the best goddamn car I ve ever been in but do you think the difference will be substantial in a few years or not? | poppablisters | 2018-07-13 20:09:30 | 12 | e2ca1ug | Difference in resale doesn t matter much if you keep it for 10 years:) | izerth | 2018-07-13 20:43:46 | 13 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
98hj6z | AWD delivered! | A few days ago I posted a call to arms to future AWD owners. I was frustrated at the lack of videos. Sure we ve seen our share of the Performance Holy Sh\*t! videos but where were ours? Well I finally go my AWD on Wednesday and I think I ve solved that riddle: I ve been having a blast! The last few days going on unneeded trips giving rides to friends and trying every feature I can get my hands on. I still peek out the window every morning to confirm that it s really there. Yes I had a bunch of minor issues to fix that are on a due bill and I haven t yet heard back from Tesla when they were supposed to reach out immediately. Am I worried about that right now? No. I m out driving. The car is amazing to drive regardless if the headlights have a bit of overbite the charge port makes an odd noise and the panel gaps aren t perfect (I m in the 68xxx batch if you re interested). But I realized something on my way home and it answered the question I raised in that post. Yes this car is fast. Fast enough to get a legit Holy Sh\*t from a friend who I just took for a ride earlier today. And that was going up an incline... When I first drove it off the lot and got on the freeway it was dizzyingly fast. My first thought echoed that of another post: That ll do. Literally dizzying speed and I ve saved $10k+ for Supercharging fees upgrades and add-ons down the road. So what about the video postings? Well I think non-Performance AWD owners fall into a different category. We don t have bragging rights to the top 0-60s so you aren t going to see those kinds of videos from us. But that doesn t mean this car isn t fast. It is. It s just not the fastest. What it does mean is that we are probably out enjoying the h@ll out of it. It is so well balanced so tight. Someone said it s like flying and I agree. But it s more: Because of the one-pedal driving and the sporty roll-less handling it feels like it is powered by thought. So stay strong future AWD owners and hold the line. Our day is ~~coming~~ here. | yeahgoestheusername | 2018-08-19 03:51:30 | 108 | e4g6e3b | damn you are making the wait even harder :( | keloo09 | 2018-08-19 05:17:42 | 27 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
9kpmt1 | AWD effects on driving distance | I am curious about the importance of the AWD in terms of distance. I was always under the impression (for the S at least) that AWD had a postive impact on the numbers of miles you could drive on one charge. So far I haven t seen that in the numbers of the Model 3. Am I completely mistaken or haven t we seen the correct numbers on the models so far? I myself am mostly interested in long range drive not so much 0-100 60 performance so spending the extra 4-5 k for just speed doesn t interest me. | Lord_Ciar | 2018-10-02 11:02:13 | 24 | e70tfws | [Here is my 100% charge distance. ](https: i.imgur.com SCa6XGa.jpg) I was driving 194 miles to my destination it said I would arrive with 28% left. I arrived with 26%. I was [driving behind a semi going 85 mph](https: i.imgur.com I6YmZAb.jpg) a third of all the way then behind an SUV going 80 mph another third of the way. Then 77mph the rest of the way by myself. Overall energy was [okay](https: i.imgur.com OnMeYiP.jpg) for going as fast as I did. Edit: don t judge my lifetime energy...

90eek0 | AWD non performance review? | So I saw the recent glorious TM3 Performance review. And while this does seem like a insane car it s outa my league price wise.

That will probably condition my choice between RWD + Smart Air Suspension or AWD without Smart Air. 10% range difference is too big for me even though the .6 s quickest 0-60 and the better handling would ve been nice.

ft5l29 | AWD speedboost by default? | So I just ordered a Tesla Model 3 AWD model I contacted tesla before delivery to see if they could add the $2 000 USD upgrade to make it go 0-60 in 3.9 seconds the tesla rep got back to me and told me that the car would already come with this by standard and I wouldn t have to pay any more to get this? can anyone confirm this? [Link to email conversation](https: imgur.com a OxdJiCH) | iDrDolphin | 2020-04-01 18:24:02 | 19 | fm5k8y4 | Probably a new employee doesn t know what he s talking about. It isn t standard.

8y10d5 | AWD vs RWD range | With the recent CARB numbers coming out showing that AWD is less efficient then RWD how can Tesla claim that AWD will get the same 310 mile range as the RWD? I trust that Tesla is correct and that the AWD will achieve 310miles but I m just curious if anyone knew how it will reach 310 if it s less efficient. I m in line for a AWD and plan on taking many road trips. I m just hoping I made the right choice as far as efficiency goes. Thank you to whoever responds. | felt122 | 2018-07-11 16:23:19 | 19 | e276vmi | The EPA testing numbers for the RWD long range version came in at 334 miles but they asked the EPA to use 310 miles as the official number. Originally it was thought Tesla did this because they didn t want it to impinge on the range numbers of the flagship Model S 100D but it could also be because they knew the Model 3 dual motors version would come in at a lower value. So long as the EPA testing numbers for AWD come in at 310 miles range they can advertise them as the same though in reality the RWD should get longer range. Note that the CARB numbers are only for city driving whereas EPA uses city highway combined. So we don t know what the actual EPA range for the dual motors version is yet. | LouBrown | 2018-07-11 16:27:03 | 22 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
9ef8y4 | Abandoned by Delivery Advisor | Hello All Turing to this wonderful community for help as my delivery advisor seems to have abandoned ship. I was scheduled to take delivery of my P3D (Day 1 Inline Reservation) yesterday at the Fremont Delivery Hub but never received the signed purchase agreement needed to pickup the financing check from my credit union. I ve been reaching out to my delivery advisor via email phone and voicemails (literally tens of calls a day!) without any response and now my VIN has also disappeared from my account.....feeling fairly frustrated and abandoned at this time. Now trying to reach Tesla through customer service to figure out what the hell is happening. Any advise is greatly appreciated. | babsndeep | 2018-09-09 18:31:33 | 47 | e5oey7i | If you can t reach your ISA then definitely call Tesla s main number and ask those folks. | tech01x | 2018-09-09 18:42:32 | 38 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
ej8pom | Abandoned by Tesla after Flat Tire | Last night on my way home (to the Orange County Area) from San Diego my Performance Model 3 suffered a flat tire when I hit two potholes driving into a Supercharger station. I tried to add air to the tire but I only made it one more mile. So there I sat with 3 passengers in front of a closed gas station without a spare tire... so I called roadside assistance and I was told (as a first option) that (1) getting my family home 100 miles was my problem and that I should use Uber (2) if I wanted a tow (within the 50 miles Tesla approves) I could not use a Tesla Service Center and (3) that if I had any complaints or wanted to talk to Alisha s Supervisor (no need to give her last time) I had to wait an hour because the supervisor was in a meeting (at 11 pm) for at least an hour. And oh yes I had to send the tow truck driver home. I want to point out a couple of things: I did not (and do not) blame Tesla for my flat I treated the Tesla representative with the utmost respect and my complaint is that I was treated as an inconvenience not a customer in distress. I would have been happy to pay more to be towed to the Tesla Center or jump through any hoops but what I did not expect was to be told that Tesla “did not care where I serviced” my car and that my family was “my problem”. Put simply the entire call was about finding out ways to say no to me without providing a single method to fix my situation. I was even advised to “read my manual” which is why I realized that I was allowed to tow my car up to 50 miles if I chose another tire shop even though the Tesla Service center was down the road. I suppose that this is a rant but I was absolutely shocked by the attitude. I mean what is point having roadside assistance that is willing to leave me stranded a hundred miles from home. I don t need roadside assistance to call Uber I don t need roadside assistance to get a tow truck (thank God for AAA) and I don t need roadside assistance to make me feel bad about driving a car without a spare I can do that on my own. Tesla makes an amazing product but it really needs to decide whether it wants my Service Business. I am willing to pay for good service but I am not willing to be shamed and abandoned while my family sits in an inoperable car 100 miles from home in the middle of night. If nothing else this is a shout out to AAA and Discount Tires two companies that really know what its like to want a customer to use them. | Gambit_13 | 2020-01-03 02:29:43 | 251 | fcwg7a0 | I had a similarly bad experience and got downvoted to hell for complaining about it here. They towed my car charged me $400 for a new tire I had to rent a car to get home and then had to drive like 350 miles in another rental to pick the car up 4 days later. Before that I tried 3-4 different tire places who all refused to put it on the lift for fear of damage. Tesla s roadside assistance sucks. Then again so does everyone else s because they all outsource to whatever shitty local towing company. Edit: Here we go again. Love the downvotes. If there s one thing I ve learned in this sub it s that no one likes any criticism of Tesla no matter how much it s deserved. Here s some more - I ordered a t shirt 2 months ago that never shipped. I emailed them and it took a week for them to tell me they are going to look into it. Downvote some more! | Automatic_Ocelot | 2020-01-03 04:13:21 | 293 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |
fegkan | Ability to read release notes through mobile app | This would be a great feature to add. Obviously it s not critical in any way but they ve added every other feature someone could want around software updates. The ability to view when the car has a pending download (both in the app and the car) notifications the ability to trigger these updates etc. Now if we could just see what was updated through the app as well that would be great. | Byshop303 | 2020-03-06 17:10:13 | 73 | fjnxcy8 | Uh...

f3chfu | Ability to save user preferences to a USB or in the Tesla cloud | There s a few scenarios where having the ability to download save user profile settings would be really helpful: * Upgrading to a new Tesla. For example trade in your Model 3 hop into your Model Y and apply or automatically have your profile settings set as they were before. Similar scenario if you are replacing a totaled vehicle. * In a family that share multiple Tesla vehicles making it easy to quickly synchronize settings between two cars (where applicable depending if the same or different model). * Getting a Tesla loaner. For example once you get a loaner you could quickly apply your profile and be on your way just like it was your own car. * Having your MCU reset at some point for example as being reported during some HW3.0 upgrades * Future ride sharing program. Users could have their own profile that they could apply when they rent the car. | eclypse | 2020-02-13 16:29:03 | 29 | fhhtl63 | ~~They ve stated~~ Somebody conjectured that s a goal. | SparkySpecter | 2020-02-13 16:31:36 | 10 | Tesla companion app features |
hwk92o | Ability to select super chargers en route | Not sure if this has been requested but seems obvious that one should be able to select super chargers especially when there are multiple charges on the same route. I might prefer one over the other for the amenities they offer. I can of course manually set the charger location but then I d have to reset my destination and the car also wouldn t pre heat the battery. It could be as simple as a toggle like “avoid this supercharger” so the gps could auto calculate another charger. | Chicantttery | 2020-07-23 17:45:30 | 49 | fz048sf | They have this functionality in the A Better Route Planner app. I agree it would be useful in the car nav as well. | Discount_Belichick89 | 2020-07-23 17:59:15 | 13 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
c8ay4j | About 10 hours from finishing my cross country trip from California to Maryland | I can t express how convenient FSD has been. I ll never own anything but a Tesla again. I do notice that occasionally on the 80 it micro-swerves in the lane. Seems to correct when I switch lanes. Not sure why that happens. For anyone who doesn t own a Tesla and wants to know a few things of value: I m able to drive about 2 hours between charging stations. I m rarely charging for over 30min although at some spots it has me full charge for about an hour. I m in Peru IL doing that now. This includes an average travel speed of 80mph with a fully loaded Model S and FSD Navigate on at nearly all times. The amount of stuff I was able to pack into a Model S is insane. I m moving from Cali to MD and was able to fit everything of personal value in the car as well as an entire set of camping gear. And tbh I still have a little room left in the frunk. It s been a wonderful trip and I m absolutely convinced that buying a Tesla is one of my finer financial decisions. If you have the means and don t yet own one you should definitely look into it. Oh and unlimited supercharging means I didn t spend a penny on “fuel” the whole time. So sick. | HyerStandards | 2019-07-02 15:58:18 | 70 | eslp0vg | You re using autopilot.

iogff2 | About shuffling songs from USB | I still can t get over the fact that a car that can drive most of my commutes by itself has amazing tech built in I can so effortlessly charge and watch the latest Netflix series in during that can t appropriately shuffle songs. It happens pretty often that the same exact song plays within 10 minutes of driving which annoys me pretty hard since my 20€ cheapo mp3 player can actually shuffle songs. I even had to resort to randomly assign track numbers to the ID3 tags of my songs. Are shuffle algorithms that assign numbers to songs and checks that no one repeats until finishing the list that hard to program? This really boggles my mind and I can t really get over this circumstance in such an technologically advanced car. Thanks for reading my rant.

9k2sab | About that $40 million... | So I was one of those people who bought Tesla stock around $377 the day after Musk s infamous go private tweet. I was worried I wouldn t be able to buy more stock after the transaction closed and wanted to maximize my stake in the company. I was certainly harmed when it all turned out to be much less final than it seemed at the time. I have no interest in suing Tesla or Elon Musk. Quite the opposite actually. I would however want to eat some of the $40 million settlement money for investor reparations with the SEC if it would otherwise go to short sellers who were forced to cover by the price hike after Elon s tweet. Would participation in this hurt Musk or Tesla or just take from those already suing?

l6wt3x | About that Steering Wheel and Global Regulations... | I ve been doing quite a bit of research on this as this seems to be the hot topic. I am not wholly an expert on vehicle regulations (we have a whole cube row of lawyers dealing with that) but due to my job I do know where to start looking. Don t take this as a final answer but take this as a place to start your own research. At an extremely high level vehicle regulations fall into two buckets: US Regulations and the Rest of the World. Each country and region regulates vehicles in their own way but vehicle design typically falls into one or both of the above buckets. This is in general why you see vehicles built and sold in the rest of the world only for the US to be left out (and vice versa...). This is also why the term homologation also come into play when trying to import it to another market. Crash standards also vary by region which is another limiting factor in where vehicles can or can t be sold (but this doesn t seem to be in play here either for that wheel). The two given buckets typically are the US Bucket consisting of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) decreed by NHTSA EPA CARB handling emissions DOT handling lighting tires and a few other things and a handful of other federal and local rules that typically cover bumper and light heights. The rest of the world typically follows the UN convention on vehicle standards (UNECE WP.29) with either no or few local modifications. Yes CMVSS in Canada exists but it mostly follows FMVSS standards with a handful of exceptions none of which apply here. With all that bullshit out of the way... FMVSS is silent on the steering wheel shapes (FMVSS 203 and 204 cover steering systems mostly from an impact standpoint and where you get the collapsable columns you see now). Looking over to the UNECE UN12 covers the Euro regs and again nothing is stated about wheel shapes. We re now left to local modifications of UNECE and US State Level Regulations. Someone in another post did find something in Pennsylvania regs but I haven t found the actual source on that. If that is true you may see a 49 state\* sellable vehicle without changes. Normally you would see a 30-something state vehicle because emissions prevents it from being sold in states that follow CARB regs (see the 2020 Dodge Journey) but sometimes its other features on the vehicle that cause it to be considered illegal in that state. Long ago the orignal Jeep Liberty (KJ) had a Renegade trim with a light bar on the roof which made it illegal to sell in West Virginia with that light bar at the time due to the states limit on light height on roof bars (since updated). Disclosure: I work for Stellantis but don t speak for them. \*Or less if other states have similar regs... \*\*Update\*\*: AStuf linked the PA inspection regulation in this comment: [https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments l6wt3x about\_that\_steering\_wheel\_and\_global\_regulations gl3m065](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments l6wt3x about_that_steering_wheel_and_global_regulations gl3m065) Edit 2: Over in r cars I ve been made aware of UNECE 21 and UNECE 79. Neither of which address the absolute shape of the steering wheel. | muthian | 2021-01-28 13:39:20 | 80 | gl37ebt | Thank you. This is Reddit at its best.

9pz522 | About that spoiler and badging | Many of the P3D+ owners I talk to have already completely forgotten they paid for a spoiler (at least) in the performance upgrade package. I spoke to Tesla service today and most of them have forgotten too. The first person I spoke to had no clue what I was asking about. It sounds like it s simply no longer a thing to be had. I was really hoping this would be something we d get. Especially because we paid for it. With the folks who paid for FSD now being left in the lurch I know there are bigger fish to fry. I just hope that we can hold Tesla accountable at every level so they can maintain their reputation as a trusted brand. It s paramount to their success long-term. | 1q2w3 | 2018-10-21 00:07:49 | 12 | e85evb3 | PSA to P3D+ owners: if you want to sell your spoiler once you have it I ll buy it... | Rev-777 | 2018-10-21 00:48:09 | 21 | Tesla Model Sightings |
feix3h | About the Portland Tesla Service Center (Excellent) | I live over three hours away so I was worried that I would have to come back the following day for my HW 3.0 upgrade to finish. They listened to my situation gave me a loaner car and said to wait about 1.5 hours to see if they could get it through before the end of the day. 1.5 hours later I received a text saying it will be done in 3 hours! Got lunch and drove to a nearby mall. Service was simple getting the loaner car was fast and painless and the communication was spot on. They even let me super charge to a full charge so I could get home in my SR+ in one go. Truly impressed. Thanks Tesla. | Rave-TZ | 2020-03-06 19:41:57 | 112 | fjob8mp | I had HW3 installed this week in Portland as well! As always a seamless positive experience with the Portland service center.

4lw8ka | About to buy a Model S and I have some questions. | I m about to join the Tesla family and have a few questions about the MS. I ll primarily be using it as a commuter car putting on about 100 highway miles on daily. I m still debating on a 70D vs 90D. I currently drive a BMW M3 and love that thing so it would be nice not to give up any performance along with having the additional range - especially in the dead of winter. Not sure it s worth $13k though. - Is the factory extended warranty worth it? I tend to keep all my cars for at least 10 years and I m seriously concerned about fit & finish and the reliability of little things. - Is the factory service plan worth it? I ll probably put 18k miles on the car per year. - Is free TuneIn radio permanent or will I have to pay for it eventually? - Can you open close your garage door through the Tesla app and Homelink? Thanks and looking forward to joining the community! | mohammedgoldstein | 2016-05-31 16:59:15 | 23 | d3qoma3 | If you are on the fence about the battery size then go with the 90. The extra range may benefit you on occasion. If there are no Superchargers on your 100 mile round trip work commute and if you forget to plug in one night it could make a difference. Or traveling between Superchargers on a trip while you don t need the bigger battery that often it does add a nice cushion. | tturedditor | 2016-05-31 18:21:22 | 12 | Tesla Model 3 Review |

I ve been eyeing the model 3 for a long time and finally am ready to move forward with the purchase. That said would you: 1) buy a new Model 3 without enhanced autopilot or 2) buy a used model 3 (2018) with enhanced autopilot? Assuming the used car is in good shape with low mileage. For my situation I really only need want the ability to automate my highway driving letting the car stay in the same lane and adapt to the car in front of me. Or if you think I should consider a different setup I m happy to listen. Thanks all. | CoffeeKow | 2020-11-30 19:41:07 | 11 | ge6hp1l | Standard autopilot works great. EAP is nice but other than changing lanes smart summon and parking features standard autopilot works the same.

If there s not other reason to wait I am going to pull the trigger however it s been nearly 5 years since the model S has been out. Are there any rumblings about a face-lift in the next year or 2 that are worth waiting? Edit: Thank you everyone for the helpful advice! It looks like I will wait until Sept 29 then make the determination after that. | fuzzy335 | 2015-09-21 05:37:04 | 13 | cv8yibb | Personally I would at least wait until the 29th of September when it will become clear what new tech the Model X will ship with. Chances are that the Model S might get some of these upgrades around the same time. Also not clear is the type of outlet you re talking about. While the Model S CAN be charged via a standard (but dedicated) 110V outlet you probably want a level 2 charging station if you put more than a few miles a day on that vehicle. Last but not least the Model S has only been around since 2012. | kemingerror | 2015-09-21 13:13:36 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

aa6b9o | About to place order but scared to ditch my BMW | No issues with my 3 series but afraid to make the leap. I really love the m3 and the test drive was addictive. One of the main things holding me back is my job. I m a Pilot and park my car at the airport for 3-4 days at a time. No chargers in the employee lot. I m not sure how the Tesla would handle this (phantom drain) or if it s good for the battery long term. It appears quality issues are getting better?

aeqvef | About to quit on autopilot | So I have been using autopilot for about a month and it honestly scares the shit out of me at least once everyday on my 45 min commute. While passing cars it will freak out and slam on the brakes. It has yet to complete a lane change on its own (not kidding it aborts every lane change!). I love everything about my 3 except AP2. It s just terrible. I m on the latest software. I haven t talked to a service center yet because I don t know what they would do. Is there a way to recalibrate the autopilot? Do I hit it with a hammer? 😂 Is the car living up to its namesake (discovery one) and the computer is trying to kill me? So far it hasn t refused to open the garage door... On the plus side. I get to drive it everyday 😇 Edit: initial feedback confirms suspicions. Probably just need to suck it up and take it in. Thanks for the feedback. Glad everyone else is having a great experience. Hopefully mine gets squared away. Still it s a blast to drive it myself 🚀 | cain2003 | 2019-01-11 02:55:23 | 14 | edrqdmx | I d suggest reaching out to your local service center with those issues.

hh1dod | Absolutely In Love | A few of you may have seen my recent post here https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments hcfnsc 2020_model_x_long_range_with_22_wheels_range I was skeptical and worried that I made a very expensive mistake. Last week I took delivery of a 2020 Model X Long Range +. My first few days were driving basic streets to and from work which resulted in very low mileage. I have the 22-inch wheels and was told they hinder your distance by quite a bit. The estimated mileage versus real-world driving was insanely low. I didn t understand the kw hour or any of the stuff to help you understand the car. I was punching the pedal for fast acceleration then shocked when I saw the milage go down quickly (yeah dumb haha). I decided to put it to the test. Yesterday I left my house in Orange County and drove 144 miles up to Santa Barbara for the weekend away with my wife. She loves the car but has been skeptical about a battery-only car. I was too. I ve had many plug-in hybrids but we always had gas to fall back on. Well I am happy to say that this car blew me out of the water. I left OC with 330 miles remaining and arrived in SB with 160 miles left. More than enough to do waaaayy more driving if I wanted to. The Autopilot made the drive an absolute breeze and almost made it feel like I was cheating somehow. Everyone around me was dealing with start stop traffic while I was just chilling and touching the wheel every few minutes to let the car know I was still there. The hotel we re staying at has a bunch of chargers and it got back to full within a few hours. To anyone out there worried about making the leap do it. I m never looking back. Extra Note: I just got the gen 3 charger with 60 amps installed in my garage. That s giving me 37 miles of driving for every hour the car is plugged in. Game-changing. Here she is: https: imgur.com a qLZ1oBz Edit: Gen 3 not level 3 charger | cranberrystaples | 2020-06-27 20:58:35 | 98 | fw7bj06 | For the best way to eliminate range anxiety set a destination the launch the energy app and select the TRIP tab.

ru2b87 | Absolutely horrific FSD beta experience in the snow | In the suburbs where I live it snowed around 5 inches over this weekend. I decided to take my LR AWD (with performance boost) Model 3 with FSD beta out to take a controlled look at how the beta handles some pseudo-snow-plowed roads. I ve got Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 s on it which have better snow traction than the stock MXM4 s and [generally aren t terrible in the snow even compared to winter tires](https: www.tire-reviews.com Article Michelin-Pilot-Sport-4S-vs-All-Season-4-vs-Michelin-X-Ice-Snow.htm). I made sure to not activate the beta unless there were no other cars around (and kept the speed limit at -5 to -10 the limit) because the beta has been sketchy enough to me in perfect weather. **EDIT:** I *know* it is very unlikely to behave well in the snow but I assumed it would either 1) not let me activate it at all detecting the snow on the ground or 2) not behave well in which case I could adequately set a baseline to compare future updates to as it (hopefully) someday learns to drive in inclement weather or 3) pleasantly surprised me. EDIT Holy cow it was *bad*. I m not going to use it in the snow again until there are more updates (and probably not even then). Here are a few obstacles I ran into where it really suffered. 1. Stop signs: The beta has a habit of driving forward until it really has to stop and then it *stops* (using the brake too most of the time. Come on one pedal driving!). It grindingly slid uncomfortably a few feet past the first stop sign before coming to a stop. Decided to not let it do that anymore. 2. Driving in a straight line (or rather not) when not being able to see lines: When driving down a moderate speed road (40 mph speed limit driving 30) and being unable to clearly see the lines the beta made some pretty crazy moves in its jerky sort of manner. It would hold a line then jerk to the side (a movement sharp enough that it should just be an absolute no-go in snow period). It would even jerk to the *left* into what would ve been oncoming traffic. I d take over. Rinse repeat. Normally you follow the parts of the road that have been plowed or keep in a straight line holding the right side of the car to the right side of the road. There should never be a need for such sudden corrections (this is a pet peeve of mine the beta does even in good weather -- it s just infinitely more dangerous in bad weather). 3. Picking a safer lane when presented with options: One part of the drive took me to a four-lane road (two in each direction) where the middle lanes had been plowed the outer lanes had not been. I m not even sure why the beta wanted to be in the right lane so badly (I have get out of the left lane turned off because of how sporadic it is) but it kept trying to drive me out of the plowed lane into the unplowed lane for no apparent reason (no cars around no turn coming up no get-out-of-left-lane). 4. Not being able to see over distances: There was a point where an ambulance was coming towards us from behind with its lights on. I opened up the camera view and there is no way the rear-view camera could see it between the snow water on the lens the angle and the generally washed-out image of everything being white. I took over and pulled to the side to let the ambulance pass. On the bright side this excursion reminded me of how fantastically the Model 3 handles in the snow (when I was driving). I sure hope Elon is right and that Level 4 is just a year away based on interventions per mile but I can t help but be incredibly doubtful of that especially with this trip out into the snow. | flyfree256 | 2022-01-02 05:12:43 | 414 | hqwp16j | Snow?

I have a 7.56kw system for about 3 weeks now and it s never peaked above 7.1kw. Today I even got a spike to 7.7kw!! How is it even possible if my system isn t that big? | rajkhaitan | 2020-07-10 20:44:22 | 41 | fxkjaxw | Yes.

In your case 7.7kW is about 1.8% more than rated which is within reason. | mcowger | 2020-07-10 20:58:41 | 30 | Tesla Solar Panel Decision |

My model 3 is nearly a year old and is at 13 000 miles and every time I hop in my car the ac blasts on and it smells like gym socks or something rotting. Eventually it ll go away. I feel like it s been getting worse. I m assuming it s the air filter but I ve only got the car a year ago. EDIT: I contacted my SC and they said it could be mild build up.

4l1n5x | Accelerated production plan s effect on Quality Control for Model 3 | What we know so far: 1. The cadence for deliveries is US West coast to east previous owners features High to low and order date somewhere in there as well. 2. In a recent tweet Elon stated that he expects everyone who preorder prior to the event to get their delivery before 2018. 3. During the conference call he stated he has a target for 7 1 17 to have all suppliers ready for max production with a firm understanding this is a stretch goal to say the least (I actually think I heard Elon say impossible). 4. Preorders prior to event is somewhere around 100-115K So all of this makes sense but honestly it doesn t give them a lot of time for mass market quality control. What I mean is realistically the first production model 3 is probably going to be rolling around mid September 2017 leaving ~3 months to fulfill the remaining 100k orders globally! This doesn t seem to connect with the plan to keep it local for a while to do rapid recall repair potentially necessary. Going global within 4 months of initial production will take some major support replacement part training on their side to be successful. Don t get me wrong. I love Tesla and am excited for my Model 3 but this does make me a bit nervous for the initial success of the program. This is all of course moot point if we end up on Elon gated time. What do you guys think? | MrPickEm | 2016-05-25 20:15:29 | 14 | d3jjd9o | I think it simply boils down to perfecting the production run in a shorter time frame coupled with it s suppose to be easier to manufacture . | trinitesla | 2016-05-25 20:21:08 | 9 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
edqdrf | Acceleration Boost - here me out.. | I ve been seeing some people mad that Tesla is offering DLC s like the acceleration boost. Hear me out. 1. I bought my car in August of 2018. I couldn t afford the $70k+ price of the performance model. I also didn t want the 20 s. Wanted 19 s 2. I love my car don t want to burn a bunch of money getting a new one and trading in my current one. I thought about it. Did the math. It would burn at least $20k in the process. 3. The performance boost is warrantied for the full powertrain warranty period. On an ICE car getting this kind of boost would require aftermarket upgrades that void the warranty. 4. This is more sustainable and less wasteful. Getting a new car a year after getting a new car is very wasteful. This isn t an iPhone... You all bought your car thinking it was a good value for what Tesla was selling. 4.5 seconds 0-60. Now they offer an upgrade that takes a few minutes and you get 3.8 0-60. It s not free because it s awesome. Also increased warranty repairs will happen from this. Last thing. In IT we have servers that come with extra hardware. Like an extra network card or and extra cpu socket. We have to pay a license fee to unlock those components after purchase. This is the same thing. TL:DR: I m a fan! Bought the boost. No regrets. | g1zm0929 | 2019-12-21 14:16:40 | 241 | fbju857 | All the griefing is quite silly. When I bought my car it came with all the features I paid for.

eikbp2 | Acceleration Boost Upgrade Question | I purchased the Acceleration Boost Upgrade four days ago and still haven t seen a yellow download icon like usual upgrades and haven t noticed any difference in quickness. How long does it take to get the download or is it over LTE and I won t receive any notes like usual updates? I see my purchase receipt in the Tesla app but never received an email receipt like I have with items on the Tesla website not sure if that matters. I called my service center and he said he would have to wait until 5 days after purchase to do anything. I ve been connecting the car to WiFi just in case.

ey1kga | Acceleration Boost Upgrade and Refund Experience | **Update** Refund posted to my card within 12 hours of making the request in app. Only regret is not buying $2k of TSLA on Friday instead of the boost :) I decided to buy the AWD boost on Friday night and give it a go for the weekend. Seems there are a lot of questions floating around as to how the process works so I thought I d share my experience. TL DR Do it if you want to try it. Seems like Tesla thought this through and put in the work to automate as much as possible in order to minimize contact rates. Screenshots [here](https: imgur.com a a1ywUKC). **Purchase** Friday night I purchased it in app using Apple Pay. Modal in-app says I have 48 hours to request refund. Apple Card was charged immediately and the transaction cleared the following day. *Side note: I have no idea how anyone butt purchases this. I tapped Purchase which loaded another webkit view where I had to tap Purchase again and then I had to auth with Face ID.* After purchase the boost shows up in the purchased tab of the upgrades page and there are links to view my invoice and request a refund. I go into my garage and sport mode is on my car. Of course I go for a drive. **Experience** < 48h time lapse> Lots of driving and smiles on my face. Boost is significant after about 35mph but very minimal from a stop. Would like to see same level of violence from 0mph as I did from 35+. Picked up a buddy with a non-boosted AWD and took him for a ride. He wasn t impressed from a dig but he laughed like a girl from a roll.< 48h time lapse> **Refund** Tonight I got home from a Super Bowl party (go Chiefs) and requested the refund. There are three options along with a comments box. I filled it out and had to double confirm to request the refund. The confirmation notification said I will receive a refund within 3-5 business days and within minutes the boost was removed from my car (drive modes back to standard and chill). So far no activity on my Apple Card. I m planning to see how badly I miss it this week after having it for 2 days and whether it s $2k worth of longing. I suspect it will be… Will update when I receive refund. Key screenshots of experience [here](https: imgur.com a a1ywUKC). Pictures of me laughing when punching from a roll are not attached. | an_urban_cowboy | 2020-02-03 04:42:49 | 133 | fgeq634 | Tesla should do a free trial of this.

k80imb | Acceleration Boost on M 3 LR AWD? | I was reading through posts and for some reasons was checking what upgrades I could buy in the app. The upgrade for the speed boost is still in there but now it says 4.2 to 3.7 . When I bought the car in June (2020) it was 0 to 60 in 4.4 secs. Never saw this in the update patch notes. I am on software version : 2020.44.25.

5mxwts | Acceleration at stoplight with lead traffic - autopilot (hw1) came close to rear-ending lead vehicle. | Just wanted to post this publicly - driving my typical January commute this morning from Northampton MA to Hadley MA. S60 HW1 had been following a crossover SUV for several miles along Hadley St when we came to [this intersection](https: www.google.com maps @42.2593884 -72.5751578 3a 75y 158.21h 60.38t data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOzdMDB363gZ3NqkeoKGx7Q!2e0!7i3328!8i1664). The crossover and I were both in the right-hand lane I was intending to go straight the SUV was half turned prepping a right-hand turn. You can t see from the photo but the intersection is on a bit of a rise. My windshield is very dirty (winter driving kicks a lot of grime into the air) and at the time of this event (~9:05am EST ) the sun was nearly directly ahead of the vehicle about 20deg above the horizon. We had been following the SUV at ~35mph follow distance 4 on approach to the intersection. The lead vehicle came to a complete stop. The Model S came to a complete stop. Because I was heading straight into a residential neighborhood I looked down at the dash and lowered the TACC speed from 35MPH to 25MPH. After I had hard-pulled down on the AP stick twice I looked to the right side panel (showing power indicator at the time). I then noticed the dash STOP showing the lead vehicle and felt the Model S begin to accelerate. Looking up while slamming the brake confirmed the forward vehicle had not moved and indeed I was ~12 closer than before. I still had 3-4 of clearance so I have no idea if radar or Emergency Braking would have kicked in. Not sure what all to make of it - I m almost certain this was caused by a combination of the low sun angle and the dirt on the windshield. The acceleration was typical of the scenario where the vehicle has come to a full stop eg waiting for the lead vehicle on a left-hand turn before continuing after the obstacle had cleared. | elprophet | 2017-01-09 14:26:14 | 19 | dc78uad | Can I just point out that this was a completely improper use of AP1. Every time this gets brought up people love to downvote it - but it s the truth. Tesla s stance on this is AP1 is NOT MEANT to be used on surface level streets and not in areas with undivided roads as well as stoplights stop signs. AP1 is meant for highways and freeways. | dirtyfries | 2017-01-09 16:07:14 | 81 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
efj478 | Acceleration boost | Hi All. For those of you who bought the Acceleration boost upgrade can you feel its benefit in everyday use or do you essentially have to stomp on the accelerator to tell it s there? I ve heard one person describe the car as feeling lighter for instance. Would I be able to tell the benefit when normally passing a car on the freeway? Perhaps you can feel an improvement when there s 4 people in the car (and it normally becomes a little sluggish from the extra weight)? I test drove a performance model 3 in heavy traffic in 2018 before getting my AWD and while I can t say I could tell a difference I couldn t safely test the car as much as I would have liked. | ftlum | 2019-12-25 17:26:29 | 64 | fc0npwj | I do wish I could put the P3D in SR SR+ LR mode to be able to compare the differences.

bnq36q | Acceleration curves for Tesla Model 3 (3 3D 3P) ? | I asked this [before](https: np.reddit.com r teslamotors comments bjf116 tesla_daily_discussion_may_01_2019 ema5ycu ) in the Daily Discussion megathread and unfortunately got very few answers so I ll try once more as a post in case someone knows something more. The best I found [was this](https: i.imgur.com CkZxDUK.jpg) ([source](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads 2018-tesla-model-3-dual-motor-vs-performance-dyno-results.141137 )). It graphs power (or torque) against Engine RPM. For something more intuitive I was hoping for time versus mph or maybe time versus acceleration or heck maybe even mph versus acceleration. Surely someone somewhere must have plotted this graph? Hopefully for the 3 3D 3P and for all chill mode variants as well. | twinbee | 2019-05-12 15:22:48 | 28 | en878r6 | I ve seen a few for the Model S but nothing for the Model 3 that has MPH on the X-Axis. However you could probably extrapolate MPH from the RPM reading if you know the gear ratios and overall tire diameter. | Fugner | 2019-05-12 15:48:54 | 7 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |
9n601g | Acceleration of AP improvements from now on | Andrej is a great engineer with some physics background. This combination and his work during Stanford and OpenAI years are probably biggest reasons why he got the job at Tesla. He was spending a lot of time on preprocessing and other tool building part of machine learning. Combining this with huge mileage of real world driving I would think Tesla will accelerate the speed of AP evolution in the future. Admittedly we do not know at least I don t what kind of data Tesla saves for improving AP. But with hundreds of thousands of cars driving around all kinds of conditions even a brand new start from this point on will give Tesla a huge amount of new data that they know what and how to collect based on the software tools they have built. This will translate into exponentially increasing AP capability. A path can be imagined where V9 first solves the more routine highway driving and future incremental versions improve upon edge cases in these scenarios. With more piling of miles the AP team will start to recognize significant amount of more nuanced edge conditions and find solutions for them. The last mile of FSD may be sped up quickly once the initial hump of foundation building is cleared. The upper limit will of course be the assumption that Tesla s hardware (both sensors and computing power) is enough to meet the FSD. In any case I am pretty bullish on the future of AP if my logic is not flawed. | reddit_tl | 2018-10-11 02:30:21 | 28 | e7jx7d0 | My thoughts are similar I see AP as needing a lot of ground-work and sometimes progress comes in jumps rather than slow incremental improvement. I read somewhere that a lot of effort goes into collating and selecting images that are good examples building up an image library. I think the hardware especially with the new processor will be adequate in particular I don t think LIDAR is essential. Tesla might not be the first but their solution has a lower cost of entry than other solutions. They don t need to own the fleet in fact there a number of advantages in not owning the fleet or using older off lease cars. For the actual FSD timeline I m less certain anytime between June 2019 and December 2021 for the coast to cost drive is my best guess. In the broad sweep of history that error bar of 1.5 years isn t significant but in the race to be first it is. | M3FanOZ | 2018-10-11 02:47:55 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
ff03my | Acceleration upgrade any chances.... | Do you guys believe we will see an acceleration upgrade package for the performance model?

And yes I am fully aware they will never make it faster then the S performance. Cheers Alex | alexandrupaulpopa | 2020-03-07 19:29:18 | 19 | fjudjkq | I ve thought for a while the limitation for Model 3 is the inconel fuse S and X have for their versions with Ludicrous mode. For a while people who bought a P90D were offered (for a cost $10 000 iirc) the inconel fuse retrofit to get their own -albeit a little slower- version of Ludicrous like the newly released P100D. We all know Elon said “of course!” we ll get Ludicrous but there s no way Model 3 in the early days when max profit meant survival came with this expensive superalloy fuse- which super cool side note the tech comes from SpaceX. With that I ve always wondered if that s hardware suitable for space being put in our cars if so that s even cooler. Edit: not SpaceX tech specifically but still an aerospace grade alloy. But when the dust settles later this year with Plaid S and X and the bar has been raised my bet is they will introduce Ludicrous to new M3P+ for $1x 000 higher than stealth M3P- without Ludicrous and previous Model 3 Performance owners be offered the retrofit for much much less than $10 000 plz Elon. | Skate_a_book | 2020-03-07 21:18:28 | 15 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |
nzcb77 | Accepted Delivery of my 2021 Model Y but... | So first off I do think the car will be nice to have at some point in the future but the experience I have had over the last several months after purchasing this luxury SUV (per insurance) has been crap compared to the level of service at other car companies. The ordering process - 3 full months from deposit to delivery. Online was easy but follow up? Nope. Nada. To this day the Tesla Advisor I was assigned has never spoken to me or replied to my emails or calls. The assistant advisor would respond to my emails but neither was proactive in informing me of my delivery date changes. I d see a date change in the system on a Monday and let it go until Friday when I d email asking about if I needed to provide anything else and then the assistant advisor would respond. Neither notified me when it was time for actual Delivery. That was an entirely new person who texted me and provided a number and extension that when called directed me to a mailbox that had not been set up and could not receive voicemail. Eventually after some texts and phone tag we connected and confirmed everything was set. Touchless delivery sucks. Finding my car was ok...but finding it with 40% battery and a bunch of tesla chargers that were out of order at the Dublin CA Tesla station was a huge let down especially as this is my first EV. I eventually found a staff person to direct me to a working charger. Thank you Dustin! I ve never bought an ICE car from a dealership that didn t provide me with a full gas tank I had assumed an electric car would have been provided with at least 80% or more charge. Stress. I ve never ordered a car and then heard on the news about how it s going to come with less features than before and no one neither of the advisors reach out to tell me about the lack of Radar or Lumbar support. Neither was a big deal to me...but no one at Tesla ever contacted me not even a simple email letting me know the change...WTF? Also I m really glad I watched a bunch of YouTube videos about the car prior or I never would have known how to work stuff. Not a deal breaker but again had I been at BMW even with COVID they would have been more helpful and had someone in a mask to show me about the car. I know this because my wife and I have owned several BMWs and have a newer one she s recently acquired. Autopilot and other features. I currently have a display message about some features being disabled until a future software update. I m at 75 miles driven and the calibration is at a sliver away from 100% so maybe 97-99% done. I m in California and drove it up and down Highway 680 \~34 miles from Dublin to Antioch (parked at home and let it update) and then drove around Antioch Concord and Pittsburg over the next few hours on both normal streets and Highway 4 as we ran errands and did some “fun driving”. Overall. The car looks great. It drives well. The energy seems very efficient. However I would never recommend to my friends to buy a $60k or more Tesla based on my experience without letting them know first that it s a very nice car but expect nothing in the way of customer service. Nothing in the way of follow up from reps and expect to do everything yourself and pay at delivery to charge your car because they won t do it for you. Sentiment. I m a little miffed at all this but again I do think it s a great looking car that runs well and hopefully after some updates will drive a lot better. If not I can always trade it in for an electric BMW or Ford next year. | morbidgames | 2021-06-14 02:21:57 | 70 | h1p0y47 | Maybe it s because I m old but I ll take radio-silence semi-dysfunctional delivery all day long over having to sit in that claustrophobia-inducing little pompous finance guy s office at the legacy dealer that smells like cigarettes and cheap cologne *every* time I bought a car arguing over paperwork fees rustproofing extended warranties credit life insurance glass etching gap insurance wheel insurance fabric protection key insurance and all the other crap they try to slide into your financing.

kqhk8k | Accessibility question. | My wife is blind I have been looking into getting a Tesla but one of the biggest issues we have had with modern cars is their removal of physical inputs. This has been a problem because as my wife is blind she would be unable to interact with things and possibly changing things in ways completely unintended. So does anyone know if the touchscreen on a Tesla has accessibility options like a screen reader for blind people? Before you laugh understand this is actually a big concern especially if you are touting self driving as a feature. If Self driving ever comes I would be a great boone for my wife and countless others as well as their spouses and children. Also understand screen readers are also only as good as the labels on the application. A button labeled button or list labeled list means nothing. Also how the person interacts with the GUI is also of importance. Take our LG range the APP has a dial so you can turn the temperature up or down. This isn t compatible with a screen reader. Before you ask I am sighted and so are our children. | lastfreethinker | 2021-01-04 20:47:59 | 86 | gi3ul0n | Similar questions of accessibility have been asked recently and the answer for now is that accessibility support is very poor. The passenger door has physical controls for the window and door open. Everything else is accomplished by the touchscreen (music volume climate). There is some degree of voice control but it must be activated with a button on the steering wheel. If Tesla is listening there are obviously missing options such as increasing the font size custom color for low vision or colorblind and volume control for alerts and turn signals. | alex281 | 2021-01-04 20:54:24 | 65 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
au0f3h | Accessing Tesla DashCam and Sentry Mode video wirelessly at home or while on the road. | I wanted to make my own post to compliment [this post](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 9poxbm watch_dashcam_teslacam_v9_footage_directly_on ) made by u Takaa. As u Takaa noted in his post originally having this is fantastic if you re ever on the road and need to access the drive without a computer and need to access files with your phone. Or if you want some extra features at home. I purchased a similar product the [SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick](https: www.sandisk.com home mobile-device-storage connect-wireless-stick) from [NewEgg](https: www.newegg.com Product Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820173121& Description=sandisk%20wireless& cm_re=sandisk_wireless-_-20-173-121-_-Product) the 128GB variant for $44.99. I realize that 128GB is more than I need but with my Sentry Mode update coming soon I just wanted to be ready for now and any potential growth down the road. I was told that the limited distance connectivity (within line of sight) didn t make it very useful but I had to try it out myself. I knew I could always access video by pulling the USB out of the car and going to my office to plug it into my computer and look at files but I wanted more ease of use and to be able to automatically back up files if I wanted to. One thing that I loved about this product I learned was that **you can join it to your home network over Wifi** which was key. I happen to have an Access Point in my garage so my car gets the best signal so this meant the USB stick wouldn t have any issues even with the known limited distances and it could stay in my car. The stick has a built-in battery also so it does not need to be plugged into any USB port in order for the Wifi AP component of it to work. **Formatting and Prep** When you first get the drive you need to plug it in for a couple hours to charge. When done put it into your computer to format it as FAT and create your “TeslaCam” folder in the parent directory. Then it ll be ready to write for TeslaCam. **SanDisk Wireless Stick as Wifi AP** You can connect the USB drive by connecting to its Wifi AP directly then opening the SanDisk App through the IP address of the device itself or by going to http: sandisk.com myconnect . **On your home Wifi from your phone or computer** After you ve connected to the wireless stick and configured it to connect to your home wifi through the SanDisk App you simply get its IP address from the gateway (typically your home router) to see newly connected devices and then you can navigate right to the IP address in your browser. I tried doing this within my car s browser but unfortunately the page will not load (not that the car would likely play the video anyways). Once it s on the network you can access it from [your web browser](https: i.imgur.com QpJ31dt.png) or [phone](https: i.imgur.com LUad0HK.png). Photo of what files look like [from the SanDisk app](https: i.imgur.com 9COCYTI.jpg) if you aren t near a computer and you can stream directly without issue. **Auto-Mounting the USB Stick after it connects to your home wifi** Depending on your home setup [you can create a network mount](https: i.imgur.com tjHG8k8.png) on your Mac or PC so it will always auto-mount to the share (through its IP address on your network). I found that you can t set the IP address statically from the Wireless Stick itself so you ll need to configure your home router to assign a static IP address to it based on its MAC address (hardware ID). Once you get it to auto-mount the web-share you can do things like configure [an automated sync](https: i.imgur.com DZYgru1.png) to a local folder or backup drive. I have mine setup to automatically run the backup job when the device auto-mounts and is visible. The *only* task needed to accomplish any of the noted items above is: Unplug the USB from the car turn on the Wifi (holding the button for 2 seconds) and then plugging it back into the car. From there you just leave it in and you can access it for up to an hour on your home network because it ll auto connect. The only reason you need to do that is because there is a “USB-Mode” and a “Wifi-Access Mode” and you need to turn on Wifi-Access mode while not plugged in. You may say “well if you have to unplug it anyways you can just…”. No. I wanted remote access and automated backup. So the 2 seconds to do that is worth it to me if I ever want to back it up easily. I hope it works out well if you want to do the same just make sure to have an Access Point near where your car sits. Shoot off any questions if you have any. | 110110 | 2019-02-23 21:34:53 | 93 | eh4pgvn | Does thr car being parked turned off count as an unplug to switch to wifi mode or do you need to do the 2 second unplug when you park at home? | UGot2Handit2Leprecns | 2019-02-23 21:56:51 | 7 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
6brlyz | Accessories on a Tesla | How are people installing non OEM electircal things on a Tesla. Like if you wanted to add an LED light bar or something is there any extra circuits in the fusebox? On every other car I have owned you can always figure out something I have even gone as far as installing arduinos to make factory switches do other more functions. I am a little more hesitant to do anything with a car that is this advanced. Has anyone added anything to their electrical system? | stilljustkeyrock | 2017-05-17 21:08:38 | 10 | dhoyuvg | From my limited knowledge (ie dash cam install LED lights install) you either need to use an existing source like just upgrading the lights that are already there OR find an existing 12v in the car to plug into. Depending on the year of the car there are 12v connections near rear view mirror below the center screen right side (so by passenger s left foot) in the glove box (older models) and by rear lift gate. Probably others somewhere but I dont know all of them. I have not done the work myself but my dash cam was hooked into the passenger footwell 12v (which is NOT an always on 12v) and a switch was routed hidden in the small storage area under the screen. Some people also just buy lighting kits from [Evannex](https: evannex.com products led-lighting-upgrade-kit-for-tesla-model-s) or others to install into existing areas. Others use battery-powered motion sensor LED strips [like this one](https: www.amazon.com OxyLED-OxySense-T-02-Anywhere-Portable dp B00J4EQVPG ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8& qid=1495055800& sr=8-1-fkmr0& keywords=battery+led+strip+motion+tesla). | dieabetic | 2017-05-17 21:17:54 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

cj56wu | Accord totaled so buying a Tesla 3 earlier than expected - worth buying new existing inventory? And confused about AP FSD | I had a 2014 Honda Accord with 20k miles that I was hoping to hand over to my now 13 year old son in a few years and then pick up the Model 3 or Y. Unfortunately about 8 hours ago someone wasn t paying attention and hit me in town. Airbags deployed along the passenger side and front passenger wheel caved in so guessing insurance will total the car. Worth so much more than the $17k KBB listed but oh well... Car saved me (and my dog) from any injuries so will pour one out for it later. So if the car is totaled I will buy the Tesla Model 3 (that I planned to get in 3 years) next week. I was thinking of getting a white or black long-range AWD (live in MA so snow). Saw the option to buy Existing Inventory for what looks like a $6k discount. These are listed as new. Curious what the downside of buying one of these is. Are they older 3s that may not have whatever newer cars have that I ve read about here (seats maybe?). Or is it just the sacrifice of going with the available black rather than the white my wife is suggesting pushing? There is an existing long-range AWD black an hour from me for $48 740 (18 wheels black on black EAP) Custom would be a white long-range AWD with 18 wheels and no FSD for $47 990 The Autopilot page is a bit confusing as it says: Autopilot Included * Enables your car to steer accelerate and brake automatically for other vehicles and pedestrians within its lane. Full Self-Driving Capability * Navigate on Autopilot: automatic driving from highway on-ramp to off-ramp including interchanges and overtaking slower cars. * Auto Lane Change: automatic lane changes while driving on the highway. * Autopark: both parallel and perpendicular spaces. * Summon: your parked car will come find you anywhere in a parking lot. Really. Coming later this year: * Recognize and respond to traffic lights and stop signs. * Automatic driving on city streets. Under that is a checkbox for $6 000 - so is that the charge for FSD? I do 99% city driving it seems that the car has all the safety stuff without the $6k self driving computer package (warn if going to hit someone blindspot etc). If I don t plan to use AutoPilot what do I gain in the city from the package? Can I add it later (knowing the price may go up...or down)? Thanks. Really appreciate any help advice you can offer. | acatagorical2005 | 2019-07-29 02:37:35 | 51 | evb7c9b | > Under that is a checkbox for $6 000 - so is that the charge for FSD?

b5fnt6 | According to TeslaFi 3x as many Model 3 s are above firmware 2019.5 than S X | We re all excited that Tesla is delivering Model 3 in huge quantities and the sales numbers will continue to help push their mission of a sustainable future. I m excited to see more superchargers more Teslas of all kinds on the road and greater acceptance globally of Tesla. That being said as a Model X owner I couldn t help but wonder if I felt like the focus for firmware updates has gone to the Model 3 over the S and X. I looked on TeslaFi and according to their fleet tracker the Model 3 has far more vehicles on 2019.5 and above than Model S and X combined. Today of all the Model 3 s on TeslaFi 92.1% are on for was re 2019.5 or higher the majority on 2019.5.15. Of all the Models S and X in TeslaFi only 28.4% are on 2019.4 or higher. 11.2% are on 2019.4.3. 58.6% are on 2018.50.6. I think it s great that Tesla is fighting to continue delivering a great experience and growing it for the new owners of Model 3. However I feel like these numbers represent a disparity in the attention the vehicles are getting right now. The lack of ability for people to simply Check for Update and get the newest firmware shows they still have a way to go but this disparity specifically doesn t help keep S and X relevant. **UPDATE**: Lots of posts last night about how 2019.8.3 was seeing a big push which I saw on TeslaFi since last night when I crunched those numbers. 5 new S X cars were updated above 2019.4 while 9 new 3 s were updated above 2019.5. Looking at the numbers a few S X s were downgraded from 2019.9 8282d10 to 2019.8.3 da116a6 and the total number of S X on 2019.8.3 da116a6 went from 27 to 221 (as of this writing 9:15A PST). That s a great growth at first glance however we don t have VIN tracking so looking at the other rows that lost S X vehicles on previous firmware updates I think most of the cars that were updated were already in the 2019.4+ range. Only 5 new vehicles jumped above 2019.4. Meanwhile Model 3 already had a lot of vehicles above 2019.5 and only 5 new vehicles were added to 2019.5+. Lots of point releases between 2019.5 and 2019.8.3 were removed (assuming upgraded but no way to verify). | vertigo3pc | 2019-03-25 20:07:14 | 41 | ejd45l6 | Your probably right but you could make the case the firmware on the S and X is still more feature complete and less buggy. Heck Model 3 didn t even have the ability to adjust vehicle distance in autopilot. Geez. | dinozero | 2019-03-25 20:09:45 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
jqbdp3 | According to a reliable AMD leaker Tesla is considering using next gen AMD GPUs for it s infotainment systems | > Tesla wants to use Navi 23 for their cars https: twitter.com patrickschur_ status 1325217367509639173 > Navi 23 > > Die Size: 14.28 mm × 16.51 mm ≈ 235 76 mm² > Package: 35 mm × 35 mm https: twitter.com patrickschur_ status 1317851087777443841 Patrick Schur is known for leaking AMD related information. He s proven to be very reliable and clearly has an inside source at AMD so this tweet is VERY interesting. With Elon Musk not so subtly hinting at wanting to bring The Witcher games and Minecraft to the cars and the overall push towards gaming on the infotainment it makes sense that they would want to replace the weak Intel Atoms currently powering the infotainment system (MCU2). Navi 23 would be based on AMDs next generation of graphics technology (RDNA 2). Likely a full SoC. If this leak proves correct MCU3 will be far far more powerful than the current MCU2. | KeyboardGunner | 2020-11-08 13:03:14 | 624 | gbm3fyl | Navi 23 is rumored to have 2048 shading units. For reference the new Xbox Series S appears to have 1280 and the Series X has 3328. This upgrade could bring next-gen console level performance to the infotainment system. What s not clear: * How will the clock frequency compare? Tesla may clock the GPU lower to reduce heat dissipation * How many of those 2048 shader cores will be active? They might purchase a partially disabled part to increase yields reduce costs * Why go for a discrete CPU GPU instead of an APU? Does AMD not have an APU available with this kind of power outside of custom designs for Microsoft and Sony? * What kind of CPU will this be paired with? SSD? RAM? | amdinator | 2020-11-08 14:14:39 | 138 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

tz3u65 | Accurate FSDbeta test drive article from Barron s | Finally a reasonable and informed article about #FSDbeta from the MSM. Kudos to the anonymous Tesla driver beta tester who provided the demo ride! A nice side note from the Cyber Rodeo... https: www.barrons.com articles tesla-stock-full-self-driving-51649420903 | grndrm | 2022-04-08 13:42:38 | 11 | i3xgj7p | Here s the article for those that are getting a paywall. > Tesla s full-self driving is more than vaporware—and it s one reason Tesla stock is worth more than three times that of Toyota. > Vaporware is the pejorative term for software that is announced but will never be released. It s the term bears use to describe Tesla s autonomous driving technology it calls Full Self Driving or FSD. > Tesla (ticker: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk certainly doesn t see it like that. “It s going to just completely revolutionize the world ” said Musk about his company s self-driving technology at the Cyber Rodeo party that christened Tesla s new plant in Austin Texas. “This is just one of those things that comes a long very rarely.” > The two views couldn t be much different. The battle has the potential to shift hundreds of billions in stock market value. Thursday Barron s got to take a ride in the newest version of FSD Tesla refers to as beta—like a beta version of software that still is working out the bugs. For us it doesn t qualify as vaporware. The system is here and it works. It s just not ready to be rolled out to consumers just yet. > We were in Austin for the Rodeo. We didn t get into the official party but we didn t meet a lot of Tesla aficionados who made the pilgrimage to Texas. One was an FSD beta tester who was nice enough to drive us around Tesla s new plant in full self-driving mode. > Beta testers are essentially Tesla owners who have earned the latest version of the software by having the right combination of cars and driving safety scores along with a desire to test the system. > Our tester got the beta version early soon after its release in September 2021 and he says it s improved a lot since the initial version. Tesla said during its fourth-quarter report that there were about 60 000 beta testers helping Tesla refine the system. > With the beta version of FSD on the car really does drive itself. It will make right and left turns. Some of the left turns will be with oncoming traffic approaching. It will also decide on its own how to exit a parking lot. Barron s experienced all of that including dealing with a man driving down a highway on a motorized unicycle-like contraption. > Our drive lasted the better part of an hour. We actually took a ride by Tesla s new Austin factory that will soon be pumping out thousands of Model Ys similar to the one we drove in. > The beta-mode drive was a little like driving with a teenager with a learner s permit. As with any new driver you only feel safe as long as there is confidence in the adult supervising the drive. We had confidence in our tester. He did an excellent job of explaining the capabilities beforehand as well as what he feels the systems need to improve on. Things such as dealing with road construction and flashing yellow lights efficiently along with cleaning up some wide or narrow turns. > There were a couple of wobbles along the way. The car doesn t feel ready to take over in all situations but the overall experience is really something. > Our tester was also constantly recording video clips and reporting indecisive steering faster-than-preferred breaking or anything else he didn t like with the touch of his Model Y center table screen. Those reports are one way Tesla improves the system. > Despite the advances Tesla s FSD is still far from full self-driving. There are five levels of autonomy defined by the industry—maybe six if no driver assistance features are considered level 0. The beta version of FSD is a level 2 autonomous driving system which requires the driver to be engaged at all times. The driver is responsible and needs to supervise the system at all times. Higher levels let the driver stop paying attention. Level 5 is the level where theoretically the car wouldn t need a steering wheel. > Tesla sells FSD for $12 000 or a monthly subscription. That s one of the reasons FSD could be transformative for the stock and Musk believes it will be transformative for the industry. A car company taking in thousands of high-profit margin dollars a year on cars sold years ago just isn t what happens today in the auto business. > The potential for FSD is one reason Tesla is a trillion-dollar company roughly 3.5 times the value of Toyota Motor (TM). > Tesla stock was down 2.3% in early Friday trading the day following the Rodeo. The S& P 500 was down 0.4% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.1%. | zydricon | 2022-04-08 17:49:14 | 15 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

I m on the original 12 Volt battery Been through three sets of tires: Original Michelin Primacy Michelin Polit Sport 4s (summer tire) and Pirelli Stottozero 2 (winter tire). I buy all my tires at Discount Tire with the free rotations and balance whenever and as often as I want. I go every 4000-5000 miles (every \~2 months) Recently got the model 3 valued at $28 000. I understand the higher resale value in today s market is at play. bought for $51 000 The interior has held up nicely everything works and almost looks new after a detail! some wear on seats and armrests on the door (as is obviously expected). both front doors creak a bit when opening the center console rattles a bit on bumpy roads. Battery degradation is currently at about \~12% The maximum range is about 275 miles from 310 when new Charged to 90% every single day I ve plugged in 100% maybe 10 times for long stretch drives. ORIGINAL May 2018 brake pads down about 5mm from new. My Model 3 weighs 3 800 pounds regen braking is the only reason they re still around. The best estimate at electric cost is around $4 500 (or 4.5 cents per mile) I ve had the aero covers off since day 1 just open OEM rims with lug and center cap set. After that it s just been a heck of a lot of washer fluid and free tire rotations at Discount Tire! | cdis94 | 2022-01-11 05:38:53 | 173 | hs7e71h | Congrats on the milestone 100! Couple questions if you have a sec to answer: 1) What did the three different sets of tires cost ya? 2) what s the plan now keep it and keep going or get a new car? | CoffeeKow | 2022-01-11 13:42:56 | 23 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
f36dzk | Acknowledges AUS price point | It is absurd that a 40k USD car that converts directly into about 59.5kAUD sells for 75kAUD. I know there is import taxes and fees. It does seem quite a difference though. Also Australia has no federal tax credit for EV s so it makes it even harder.

6uppi1 | Acoustic Tires vs Normal Tires: Real world Experience? | A silent ride is one of the benefits of electric vehicles. Recent model S and X cars have internal acoustic foam. For those who have experienced both does it make a big difference? Thinking of adding tires with acoustic foam to my Model 3 if they don t come standard. Thoughts?

54wooy | Acoustically Insulated Tires | As I understand it Tesla is shipping acoustically-insulated tires now. I m looking for additional information. When did they start shipping these on factory vehicles? Do they lower road noise much? Which tires are they using for it and where (other than Tesla) might someone get a replacement? Is Tesla modding the tire or does it come from the factory that way? Are they available in 19 or just 21 ? I m always collecting information on new shoes so thanks for your info! | majesticjg | 2016-09-28 14:49:43 | 28 | d85mci9 | Not exactly what you re asking for but I just had my 19 Primacys replaced (with the OEM Primacys).

rqubmy | Active Road Noise Reduction Testing | Finally got ARNR activated on my car and had a chance to do some testing today. Don t expect the cones of silence but I thought it worked pretty well. It really shines on faster surface roads. At highway speeds you can see on the graph that it helps with low frequency noise but wind noise is the predominant thing you hear at those speeds so impact is noticeable. I would expect this is the kind of thing Tesla can refine over time.

2xdcyz | Actual P85D power | So here is what I believe is true regarding the P85D: The motors are rated at a total combined power of 691HP. However I believe that the battery and or inverters cannot provide this much power. Is this true? If so when the pedal is pushed to the floor how much power is actually being produced? If the power is less than the 691HP of the motors which component is the limiting factor? I ask because if the power being delivered to the motors is less than they can handle I m curious what kind of performance could be squeezed out the the P85D with improved batteries or inverters. | TheSpocker | 2015-02-27 17:29:36 | 10 | coz66qe | Can t answer your question directly but found this video while looking into it... hooleey shit.

d1gq2c | Actual Taycan price as configured to Tesla Model S standard options | The hype is strong for a Taycan priced as $150 900 and $185 000 comparing it to Tesla. However that s not the whole story. **Mandatory options ** As soon as you go to configure your Porsche you are forced to add the Mobile Charger Connect for $1 120 and the Fixed Panoramic Roof in Glass for $1 490. So no matter what the absolute lowest price you can buy a Taycan is $153.5k before a $1 350 delivery fee. **Taycan Turbo** [https: i.imgur.com XatrTpl.png](https: i.imgur.com XatrTpl.png) As configured to the features you get standard with a $79 990 Model S base here are the options you need to add: Power folding mirrors $330 TACC $2 050 Heated Steering Wheel $280 Power charge port door $640 150kw public charging $460 Price to compare to Tesla: **$157 270** before $1 350 delivery fee. **Taycan Turbo S** [https: i.imgur.com NP5ZXGq.png](https: i.imgur.com NP5ZXGq.png) As configured to the features you get standard with a $99 990 Model S base here are the options you need to add: Power folding mirrors $330 TACC $2 050 Heated Steering Wheel $280 150kw public charging $460 Price to compare to Tesla: **$190 730** before $1 350 delivery fee. Do you need to get these options to get a Taycan? Aside from the mobile charger and the glass roof no. But when comparing to the Tesla base pricing it is disingenuous to not start at these numbers. **Some other interesting prices that people are listing as features of the Taycan:** Burmeister sound system: $5 810 extra Ceramic composite brakes $5 580 extra ($900 with the Turbo S) Massage and ventilated seats: $2 000 extra Insulated glass: $1 130 extra Passenger-side LCD screen: $1 130 extra | QuornSyrup | 2019-09-08 20:49:12 | 54 | ezli90f | This is why I said this should by compared to the Roadster. 190k vs 200k.

7bllb0 | Actual miles per kwh | Tesla is the only car maker I m aware of that has every car regularly communicating large amounts of data with the mothership. This also puts Tesla is an interesting position of being able to calculate closer to reality miles per kwh instead of based on the EPA cycle. Tesla could even break down actual miles per kwh based on climate region. I could see why there might be hesitation to release this information because it is almost certainly not a better number than the EPA number but I can still hope and wish. | bigsteeviestyle | 2017-11-08 14:20:44 | 19 | dpiynj1 | > I could see why there might be hesitation to release this information because it is almost certainly not a better number than the EPA number NB that the EPA highway range figure is based on a driving profile that is usually 55 mph or less. If you drive like that you ll get the EPA rating or better. Tesla also posted [this graph](https: www.tesla.com blog model-s-efficiency-and-range?_ga=2.220363997.439318005.1510155014-300412645.1507411976) and iirc it s a little better nowadays but 330-370 wh mile is pretty standard for 65-75 mph cruising | hwillis | 2017-11-08 15:33:50 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

3vbwaq | Actual range well below stated range? | I ve had my Model S70 for about a week now and have noticed that the actual range I m getting is well below what the battery meter and documentation says I should be getting. Charged to 90% my battery meter displays 212 but I m not getting anywhere near that with mostly highway driving. It seems as if I m using 2 miles of range for every one mile driven. Is that in line with everyone else s experience? I ll also add that the weather has been in the low 30- s to 60 s with range mode on. Seat heater on 3 and no heavy acceleration. | aquastorm | 2015-12-03 21:19:27 | 19 | cxm8519 | You re only getting ~100 miles of range per charge? That s not normal.

dl7cfn | Adapter for 30A 125V socket. | At my work we have a 30A-125V socket that my coworker and I would like to use to charge our cars occasionally. We would need an extension cord that is about 20 feet as well. Is there a combination of adapters that would be safe to use with this outlet and the standard charger that comes with a Model S and or Model 3? I have tried to look but haven t found a combination that I know is safe. My work has approved us using the outlet but my guess is that they would frown on us burning the place down (I like my job don t want to pull an Office Space). https: preview.redd.it qmzobn8rqyt31.jpg?width=1536& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=c958906b05a463e115e0e042429496dc7fc5a771 | haildan | 2019-10-21 21:33:13 | 24 | f4oq18l | https: www.evseadapters.com products l5-30-120v-adapter-for-tesla-model-s-x-3-gen-2 | fixedelineation | 2019-10-22 00:55:31 | 15 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
gwzvzb | Adaptive Breaking Accelerating? | Does the Model 3 have adaptive braking and acceleration? It feels like the M3 brakes harder after releasing the gas pedal if the car senses a light or stop sign approaching compared to if it is on a longer road. The regenerative braking comes in at the same time but harder towards the end if there is a light sign. Also when accelerating in a city does the car automatically slow down the acceleration rate once you reach around the speed limit? Is this all placebo effect or is this a real thing? Thanks! & #x200B Edit: Cant fix title but I can fix the other broken parts LOL | [deleted] | 2020-06-05 07:21:31 | 10 | fsz1zgl | I d rather have my tesla brake than break... but I guess it can do both actively. | _-STiG-_ | 2020-06-05 14:03:14 | 13 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
f7qr17 | Adaptive Cruise Control | I ve been driving a model 3 for a couple of months now and I m a bit annoyed by the adaptive cruise control. I feel the braking is too severe when just slowing down and it will slow down much too soon in my opinion. Anyone agree or is it just me? It would be nice to have some settings to fine tune this behaviour. | Ruffnekk73 | 2020-02-22 10:10:35 | 64 | fidr1t5 | Yep I agree. I find the acceleration from stopped more annoying though. The car in front takes off my car waits a bit then panic accelerates to keep up. For accelerating and braking it should act more elastic. Like the car in front is towing you with a rubber band. I find I m using it less and less now because it drives too jerky. It s only really good on flowing freeways. | allegory_corey | 2020-02-22 11:19:41 | 78 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
2feswl | Adaptive cruise control coming before Tesla Model X. (speculative) | This is coming straight from the horses mouth but bare in mind I am only speculating this from the information given to me. Before I start this story I need to give you all some background info. I have preordered my model x very early. Probably 3 months after it was available for preorder. About a year ago I had the privilege to test drive the Model S out here in Dallas. Needless to say I almost creamed my pantalons when I blasted down the street with nothing by a high pitch squeal humming in my ears and g forces hugging every fiber in my body. The keen sales guy picks up on my euphoria and says * you know if you buy the model S I could bump you up to the top of the list for the Model X * Me with one eyebrow raised thinking to myself smooth salesguy real smooth... * Me: you know that s tempting but I m not much of a car guy and I REALLY don t think I could do it without ACC at least not for 100k... * Salesguy: ok no problem well if it DOES become available before the X comes out we ll talk some more cool? * Me: sounds good Fast forward to about 2 days ago. I get a call from another sales guy from tesla and this is how the conversation went. * salesguy: mr. hi how are you! I m just getting in contact with you about your model S preorder. * me: Model X * salesguy: I m sorry? * me: Model X preorder. * Salesguy: oh weird it says you have a model S reservation. * me: yea ok long story short I talked to this other salesguy awhile back and he was trying to convince me to buy the S before the X came out I told him not unless it had ACC available.. sooooo... yea * Salesguy: ahhh gotcha well if ACC *WAS* available before the X came out would you still be interested? * Me: well the X is pretty clo... woah wait a minute.. are you saying that Adaptive Cruise Control is coming out before the model X?? * Salesguy: -*5 seconds of silence*- wellllll * Me: Do you have information I dont know?!! * Salesguy: Well you know I really ca.. * Me: Because let me tell you I am on the tesla forums practically everyday and if you had a nugget of info like that I would be **KING** of all the forum nerds! * Salesguy: oh well you know I m not at liberty to give specifics... you know. * Me: yea... i figured. well anyway I ll probably just wait for the X now that it s so close anyway... And that s about it... I should have not gotten so damn excited and just let him tell me without me interupting him 5 times... but whatever. so if tesla comes out with ACC within the next few months you can all say you knew that shit already and someone can come back and throw some gold at me or something.. and if I m wrong you won t remember anyway. tl dr Adaptive cruise control TOTALLY coming out before model X! Maybe... totally speculative. | _____hi_____ | 2014-09-04 00:55:28 | 10 | ck8lr4i | > You know if you buy the model S I could bump you up to the top of the list for the Model X.

3gkzji | Adaptive cruise control is great but this car needs a programmable speed limiter for everyday driving | (Here s what I mean if anyone doesn t know what I m talking about: https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Speed_limiter#Programmable) Adaptive cruise control is really great for highways and will only get better but there are still scenarios where use of cruise control isn t useful and you want to control the speed with your foot: * Driving in cities with lots of stops turns pedestrians etc. * Driving on a winding country road where road conditions - not signs or traffic - is often the limiting factor. * Just driving manually because you feel like it once in a while. In the above scenarios you likely still want to be able to ensure that you won t break the speed limit and get fined. This is where the speed limiter comes in. It s not like it s a rare luxury car accessory - a Ford Focus comes with it. UI-wise it might work by having a long press on button at the end of the cruise control stalk switch between cruise control mode and speed limiter mode. EDIT: I m beginning to realise that most people in this tread have never driven with a programmable speed limiter and is arguing from some misconception over how one works. I guess it must be a cultural difference across the Atlantic? I thought the Wikipedia section I linked to explained it fairly well but apparently not. All I can add to that is that it s a popular feature in European cars not because it s mandated by any government but because many people like driving with one. More than likely many of you would too if you tried one. And it should be a relatively simple feature for Tesla to add in a software update. | kaspar42 | 2015-08-11 11:54:40 | 15 | ctz2lwj | The system already reads speed signs and can give you an audible or visual warning when you exceed an adjustable number of miles over the limit.

I initially wanted this because I hated Google Assistant on my phone interrupting me with a ding turning the screen on when I m home and there is a Google Assistant speaker in the room so I disabled Ok Google on the phone but still needed a way to trigger it in the car. Actions could be pick up hang up the phone without having to look at the Tesla screen open an app like Waze start Google Assistant listening (instead of having to say ok Google) run something through the Tesla plugin for Tasker really lots of options through Tasker.

You can save a few bucks getting an identical looking one from China and waiting a few weeks but there are several shipped from the US. I got mine in a few days. Note there is one by Satechi for $30 on Amazon that has an identical front but the battery cover on mine seems better designed. Tasker $3.50 AutoInput plugin for Tasker: $2 & #x200B Follow the directions here for get the profile setup in Tasker. I did initially have an issue where it wasn t triggering on button press so I limited the buttons to Media Play play pause next previous volume up volume down and then it started working. If you get the same one as mine you won t need to discover the button names as they should be the one I mentioned here. Pay attention to the note on volume buttons I got it working with his Edit 2 but it took tinkering and a reboot. I also had to enable the accessibility service which isn t mentioned (possibly because it wasn t there 4 years ago).

For Google Assistant you can either use Input > Voice Command or App > Launch app > Assistant. Voice command will make the ding sound launching app will not. & #x200B Mother Frunker doing something similar with the Flic 2 though that button is $30 for one and it s currently sold out as a single button not to mention 3 triggers on that button versus at least 5 (double or long clicks are possible but I haven t done much with that yet). He recommends AudioBT Plus for better voice pickup from the Tesla. If you re just going to talk directly to the phone (as I am) you don t need it.

otrit3 | Add weather to range estimates | Been traveling with a kayak and bike on my roof racks. In calm weather the trip planner AI has been able to accommodate after one or two Supercharger stops per day. Ideally the car would detect the load or at least allow me to tell it what was on the roof. Today I encountered massive crosswinds which reduced my range by 45%. I rolled into a Supercharger with 4 miles left after skipping two others that I learned about too late (by checking third party apps) If there was a way to tell the built in navigation that I had a large kayak on the roof and to navigate appropriately given local weather my extended range Model 3 would have been a breeze to take through South Dakota. Instead I was hoping to avoid a tow much of the time. | dwkeith | 2021-07-29 05:48:08 | 81 | h6xl4i3 | I don t disagree for long roadtrips through varying climates (i.e. mountains etc.) for temperature change in battery pack but crosswinds because you ve got something on the roof is ridiculous. | seany1212 | 2021-07-29 08:02:50 | 26 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

I show plans for a compact yet highly reliable trickle charging circuit as well as provide a photographic map of where everything connects in the car. & #x200B https: preview.redd.it gjjxn9l2gxr31.jpg?width=184& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=e80c3f17259e99b784b6ce26137408eec08a406c [Tap and Layout](https: jared.bienz.com 2019 09 22 m3s-tap-and-layout ) Did you realize that nobody seems to completely agree on how to tap the stock subwoofer? In this post I cover my tap as well as how (and why) I arranged the equipment the way I did. & #x200B https: preview.redd.it qyt1rvb4gxr31.jpg?width=184& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=ef79e6d71c64ad5ba5c0aed6ebb66cd3b1ce25f6 [Level Control](https: jared.bienz.com 2019 09 23 m3s-level-control ) Without a dash finding a good place to mount the level control can be a bit of a task. Several users have documented where they mounted their RLCs but I never saw how anyone hid the connection box or routed the wire. I cover both in detail. & #x200B https: preview.redd.it qadue1y5gxr31.jpg?width=184& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=72f512b90c7deb9b2b46eaf8055428e966cf599a [Retention](https: jared.bienz.com 2019 09 26 m3s-retention ) Did you know the Model 3 Performance edition can accelerate at 0.83 G s? Watch a video of what happens when an enclosure isn t anchored down then a look at (non-damaging) ways to fix it. & #x200B https: preview.redd.it 1fizbsi7gxr31.jpg?width=184& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=ed289db555af4b2fa27b7edb0482cd68ff09a09a [DSP](https: jared.bienz.com 2019 09 29 m3s-dsp ) Even if you don t read any other posts this is the one to see. I m sure you ve seen people say things like There s a ton of bass probably too much or It s really boomy I need to make some adjustments . When I first finished my install I was *not* happy. It didn t sound right at all and no amount of messing with gain or low-pass filter could fix it. I finally sat down and learned how to use a DSP. The good news is that subwoofers in the Model 3 *can* be tuned to sound **amazing**. I ve done all the legwork and I provide you with the only file you need. This mod will run you about $100 bucks but it s worth *every* penny and I have the science (and photos) to back it up. & #x200B https: preview.redd.it n53aliz8gxr31.jpg?width=184& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=0e88f6904aa64123ab02d21930a1639a74eced82 [Calibration](https: jared.bienz.com 2019 09 29 m3s-calibration ) Do you have a Model 3 without premium sound? Or do you have any other vehicle that you d like to DSP like the article above? This final post shows how to calibrate any speakers for any vehicle using the same hardware and a $90 microphone. I had fun with this project and I learned SO much. Thanks again to everyone who helped along the way and if you have any questions at all please don t hesitate to ask! | eXntrc | 2019-10-11 14:58:45 | 140 | f3bc481 | I admire you.

aopfr8 | Adding EV Charging station - cost in condo | Anyone ever add an EV Charging station to their parking space in a condo? My condo is working with a vendor now that is offering $3700 per space. Additionally it is $15 mo + Usage ($1.40 - $1.80 per hour of active charge). I was a little surprised by how much this is and was wondering what other condo residents who own a Tesla are doing. I m in L.A. and was thinking about a Model 3. | socal-local | 2019-02-09 05:31:05 | 12 | eg2metb | Doesn t sound unreasonable depending on what needs to be done to run the circuit and potential permitting. It s a condo they ll milk it for all that they can | TronLightyear | 2019-02-09 05:32:52 | 14 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
