9gdf4c | [Discussion] Model 3 [RWD] acceleration is good but the handling traction stability control is phenomenal | So I finally picked up my Model 3 after a couple delays and was enjoying the acceleration and nimbleness around town and on the highways. It was really great never having to wonder hmmm can I make this gap? The car was nimble and quick in these situations and it put quite the smile on my face. Then the real fun started. I went to visit my brother this weekend via the most windy hill-country back roads in the area. I m talking multiple back to back hairpin turns crazy right angles and sweeping curves that seemed to go on forever. There had also been off and on rain that day and the roads had lots of damp spots in them (probably around 40%) so I wasn t planning on pushing it too hard. The car seemed to disagree with that assessment. It took the first few corners with ease and seemed to be asking me Really is that all you got? So I progressively upped the ante until I was pushing the envelope and invoking the true spirit of the Model 3. I was simply at awe at how fast I could take these corners. The tires were squealing the car started sliding and then bam the traction control would kick in re-grip me and straighten me out so that I could hammer it coming out of the curve. It was truly a thing of beauty. I was honestly expecting more understeer but there was only one occurrence of that the entire time. A slight oversteer promptly corrected by the computers happened much more often and it was exhilarating. I have never had a driving experience anywhere close to this. My only complaint is that I felt that the brakes were a little soft for that aggressive style of driving. I did get pretty scared at one point when it didn t feel like it was braking fast enough while I was going down a slight grade approaching a 120 degree turn that was coming up but in the end it [barely] managed to slow me in time. TLDR: As a result of the traction and stability control the handling of the Model 3 gives the most amazing and thrilling driving experience I could ever imagine even in partially wet roads. Actually it was beyond anything I could have imagined- just unbelievable. | Devolved1 | 2018-09-16 19:34:38 | 57 | e63gaz5 | Weird how there is all of this negativity in here.

9o4xev | [Discussion] Model 3 delivery repeated failure — possible incentives? | Okay so as of 10 minutes ago I ve had to reschedule my model 3 delivery 5 times now (so I m on my 6th appointment and 3rd VIN) and I was wondering what kinds of incentives the delivery centers can have offered if I ve had to reschedule my delivery this many times. It wouldn t be a huge deal but we ve taken off work several times to go pick up this car and every time just end up empty handed. They ve told us every time that they re “positive” that the car will be there that scheduled date and it hasn t been any of those times. Let me make it clear that I support Tesla and I m a long investor but it s also kind of ridiculous to be told with certainty that my car will be there and it still hasn t made the 5.5 hour trip from shipping center to service center in 2 weeks. UPDATE: The service center finally got in touch with the logistics team and the car was here the very next day. They gave me free servicing for anything out of warranty | bofadsnutsmd | 2018-10-14 18:12:27 | 13 | e7rg31p | This is my story minus 1 attempt so far. They keep saying it will be there it will be there and it just flat out is not. They finally got so curious as to why and where the car was that they woke it up and found it and were like oh uh we think it will make it this time. I show the car moved from the starting point at least. I go sure sounds good........ I regard everything they say as not true till I see a proof of life of the car. That is how jaded I am with the whole process. I am not going to contort my schedule around more than twice to make this happen. I have told them that. I cleared my slate during a busy work load to make it work just to get a no go signal at the last moment. I live very close to the DC SC but still zero excuse. The experience is so bad that if they miss the next one I am going to let them keep it and ask for my money back I will come around again latter to Tesla when they have gotten it together enough to actually produce the product I have bought. I am just thankful I have refused to ACH the cash to them for the car till I touch it. I would be out cash on a car that is floating around in space. I suppose with this sub I have to attach the required. I am not short or long on Tesla. I am 100% all in on EV. I am also 100% green power. My family farm in the mid-west has 2 2.5 megawatt wind mills on it way back in 2005. So I have been on mission a long time. Tesla is just chocking under the weight of all of the deliveries and repairs to poor initial quality. I long for the day when you get a Tesla they call you the car is there no issues to fix and off you go zero hassle seamless and pain free. I am far far from that. I also wonder why the DC do not have some sort of hey let me get you free matts or free sun shade the small stuff from the store as credit for the trouble you have experienced. I mean even a regular car dealer would at this point toss in free oil changes matts sun shades for all the trouble this deal has caused. These are small tokens Tesla should be handling out to people who get caught up in delivery hell. | sziehr | 2018-10-14 18:49:05 | 9 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

9et77y | [Discussion] Model 3 delivery scheduling process - why is it so bad? | So I ve finally reached that point in the wait for my Model 3 where several days ago I received an email from a delivery advisor to schedule delivery approximately two weeks from now. Great! Except.. not so much. I d read stories about people having problems with their delivery advisors before but I didn t think that included just setting up a good date and time to take delivery of the car. My wife and I will be co-registered on the car so we both have to be there and with our work schedules getting us both there during a work day (or even on the weekend days provided) is quite a thing to accomplish. So why is it easier to schedule a haircut or a Dr s appointment than it is to schedule delivery for a $67 000 car? All we ve been given to go on is a 7 day period where the car will be available for pickup. Our first attempts at finding a time have already been taken. Only email has been made available for communication as our delivery advisor (who takes entire days to respond) doesn t even have a phone number listed in his email signature. Surely there are better ways of handling this. Right? There s scheduling software that is readily available that could easily handle this kind of thing without nearly as much back and forth. Very excited about the car and I understand that it will eventually work out but this needs to be improved. On top of all of this I still haven t been able to get any vehicle trade in information. Which just adds to the frustration. Am I alone in this particular experience or are others experiencing this too? | eyeinthesky45 | 2018-09-11 01:42:34 | 25 | e5rftp2 | This is why my reply specifically said “ASAP. Pick the soonest date and soonest time. I will make it work.” I was so worried I was going to get stuck in some kind of long delayed game of back and forth. My emails going into Tesla s black hole server. My wife wasn t super happy about it because the time selected didn t work for her but we ll figure it out. I ended up getting the first day and time of the 7 day block I was given so there is at least that. Hope it all works out soon! | beepbopbeepitybop | 2018-09-11 02:17:24 | 7 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

8t3ilb | [Discussion] Model 3 display peeves | Here are my biggest peeves with the Model 3 display: * Turn signal icons too small. Without the cue of them being on either side of the driver they need to be bigger to let my peripheral vision see which one is on * Fonts too small. I wear progressive lenses which are fuzzy looking at an angle left and right. I would like to read what s on the display without having to turn my entire head. Reading the map directions at the far right has the same problem. * Back camera overlay covers the entire screen. Would be nice to have it run in PiP mode as well so it could serve as a continuous virtual rear view mirror. * The control for expanding minimizing the music app is hard to grab on to. Rather than having a drag control which takes attention away from the road use a touch button. * Touch button control size: on a bumpy road trying to touch a button control accurately is an exercise in frustration. Having them be larger would help. I guess the good news is that in theory all of the above things are fixable with a software update. | __tg__ | 2018-06-22 18:13:44 | 19 | e14jtsa | Meanwhile every one of your fixes would piss me off if implemented. Not saying that any of them are inherently bad just that Tesla can t design a UI that will be perfect for everyone. Customization is kind of the key here but too much customization can get messy and lead to more UI bugs. Just look at the shitshow that iOS11 is Apple is literally removing features in iOS12 due to how buggy and bloated iOS11 is. | zxn11 | 2018-06-22 19:31:47 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Doesn t have to be more than a couple pixels wide. Could toggle between immediately flashing or only after X seconds in case you forget to turn off the signal. Since I don t have the car yet I can t tell if this would work great in practice or not. I can totally relate to the bumpy button issue though. I have a new lawnmower with a button for cruise that s tough to manage on rough terrain :) | username_acquired | 2018-06-22 19:37:59 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Audio for the directions must be a godsend for you but it would be great to have some more options available for font size. * Back camera - Good lord yes. I d love to have that as a small box somewhere. * Expanding minimizing music app - You can drag on the album cover photo as well. Much bigger target. * Touch button size - Mostly agreed.

My colleagues use a reservation schedule so oftentimes after I ve finished my time slot someone will unplug me to charge their own car and then they will plug me back in after they re done. When I get plugged in that second time the car doesn t pull any electricity. If I open the Tesla app the car will start charging. Anybody know how to fix this so it always charges when it gets re-plugged in? | digitalcascade | 2020-02-04 14:24:47 | 31 | fgiur2a | They re unplugging the cable from the J1772 adapter and the adapter remains locked into the port yes? Then yes the car is probably going to sleep but can t close the charge port door because of the adapter. The car should wake up periodically to check for power coming back I think but periodically is every few hours. | archbish99 | 2020-02-04 15:49:06 | 8 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

bosjgl | [Discussion] Model 3 owners who bought a key fob how do you like it? | When the Model 3 key fob was announced I was a little disappointed on the lack of auto lock unlock and saw it kinda pointless considering the phone has worked perfectly well (frunk opening being the only minor inconvenience) but after having a S loaner for a few days I fell in love with the key because it s so damn cool and different from anything else.

a1yxht | [Discussion] Model 3 owners who own other comparably priced cars: how does the Model 3 compare? | My wife and I just got a Model 3. We re fortunate enough to be in a place where we could have afforded a higher-end car and she had been eyeing Lexus for awhile and I was curious about the Leaf but we bought a Model 3 after one test drive without trying anything else and have just been floored by how good of a car it is (previous cars: Accord Prius Rav4). So what I m thinking now is that if you re in a demographic where you can afford a $50-$60k car getting anything other than a Model 3 is a huge mistake like paying for an AOL email address in 2018. But then again I m not used to heated seats. So hey rich people: does my claim have merit?

Sure other luxury ICE cars will have the same standard features such as heated seats premium interior or sound etc. However they won t have the high-tech futuristic features like the large touchscreen Autopilot self-parking summon or be 100% electric so if you ask me you re ahead of the game. To be honest I d suggest anyone looking for a vehicle in the Model 3 price range to have a good solid look at the Model 3 before dropping $50K+ on a BMW Benz Lexus etc. | swotam | 2018-12-01 02:22:18 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

But I ve spent a lot of time in 3s and came very close to owning one (ordered then cancelled last minute). After driving almost all of the competition the Model 3 was my number one choice with a BMW 4-Series in a close second place. For me any of the big 3 Germans and the Alfa Giulia are excellent alternatives. But I feel like the 3 is a much more well rounded car. It does everything fairly good rather than heavily focusing on one area of the experience. If you want comfort the Mercedes is the best pick. If you want sporty the Alfa or BMW are the best choices. If you want a little bit of both the Audi is the great. If you want both of those things in the most futuristic package the model 3 is the king. | Fugner | 2018-12-01 07:50:07 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I would suspect that it probably works fine on iOS since all the phones should behave similarly with regards to bluetooth but since there s so many Android phones that handle the power savings differently I think either Tesla wants everyone to go buy an iPhone or that this was just a dumb idea to begin with. | bittabet | 2018-01-25 09:18:16 | 6 | Tesla phone key functionality |

You absolutely would have to log into his account and configure the car through his account. Then after you get the car you d put in a request to have the account email changed to your email... which by the way takes a considerable amount of time... 2-3 weeks. As far as the potential to scam you - that is a real concern. You would want to be sure that you could trust this person - because yeah he she could totally scam you. | Eloquent_Cantaloupe | 2018-05-09 15:54:34 | 5 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

8l25zl | [Discussion] Model 3P > competition | This isn t getting enough attention. The **price and specs released for the Model 3P are superior** than all three of the most legendary sport sedans on the market: BMW M3 Mercedes AMG C63 Audi RS4. [Breakdown here](https: www.teslarati.com tesla-model-3-performance-against-track-legends ) Elon claims it performs well on the track which is new for Tesla. The S and X \(and in even the original roadster to some extent\) were known for being fast in a straight line but not great on a track. [Early evidence](https: www.teslarati.com tesla-model-3-laguna-seca-raceway-track-racing-video ) from people taking the 3LR on the track suggests this is changing and Elon s tweet could mean *we finally have a Tesla track king*. People are freaking out about the price but at $78k plus autopilot it s close to half the price of a Model S P100D and very comparable to the ICE competition. Edit: I agree the jury is still out as to how well it will perform on track but even the 0-60 time for a practical four door luxury sedan is competitive for the price. Edit 2: I m a Tesla fan yes but I ve been a car guy for much longer. I grew up fawning over Porsche s and BMWs. I m excited that Tesla might finally become a performance contender and trying to share different perspective than all the FUD about price. | dgaultiere | 2018-05-21 16:34:02 | 32 | dzc8lju | I hope that the Performance car has a different brake setup. It seems the 3LR doesn t have the brakes for track use. While 0\-60 times are relevant in this kind of driving I feel that the 30\-50 and 50\-70 break\-away sprints are more important. In that area EVs dominate. The BMW M3 scores 2.2 and 2.8 seconds respectively while the Model S 90D gets 1.25 and 1.9 seconds and we know the Model 3 Performance will be better than that. But here s something else to consider: Next year we ll get the Porsche Mission E. People have been comparing it to the Model S for a while. We know the Mission E is smaller than the Model S and should be great on the track. It does 0\-60 in around 3.5. The Mission E might actually be competing with the Model 3 Performance and not the Model S at all and if so that might be a very interesting comparison. Range price acceleration and track\-ability might point to the Model 3P more than any flavor of Model S. | majesticjg | 2018-05-21 16:42:02 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

It s not clear from Elon s tweet but he goes on to quote 0\-60 times.. I can see the Model 3P having real track capabilities though. Assuming that it has upgraded brakes and cooling it could be able to handle the track quite well. One thing holding back the S is the weight it is hundreds of pounds heavier than the competition. The 3 is about 3500 pounds which is surprisingly competitive with a BMW 3 series or Audi RS4. Having it on a real track tests it s suspension as well as brake and battery fade. The best thing would be for them to track it on the Nurburgring. If it was brought and timed there and beat the competition that would be a SERIOUS victory for Tesla in the car world. It is a very long track so it takes much more than 0\-60 times to get through it.. you need a vehicle that can not only perform but sustain a lot of abuse to get through it in a good time. Another option would be tracking it at Laguna Seca \- that is a world famous race track near Fremont. Plenty of times there to compare against. | thepolan | 2018-05-21 23:02:31 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
86cdsr | [Discussion] Model S trap door in premium package | This happened to me last night and it freaked me out. This is only for Tesla s with center console covered pockets. I have been storing my wallet in the pocket with the foldable door near the raised center console. When I got home my wallet was gone and I freaked out. When you open the foldable door the wallet was hidden in view from the door itself as it is fully open. If I open the longer sliding door and look directly down into the cup holders I still could not see it. I had to remove the cup holder bracket closest to the foldable door and shine my flash light and reach down to find my wallet there is a gap there it fell into so be careful storing items in this pocket with the USB ports as items can shift forward while driving and its view can be obstructed when the folding door is fully open. While not aesthetically pleasing I think a short term solution is to keep the folding door open preventing my wallet from sliding into the longer front pocket. | jgagnon_in_FL | 2018-03-22 15:33:07 | 13 | dw47o0h | That s where i keep my parking meter quarters.

My guess is they won t want to show off the Model Y this Q incase it takes away from model 3 sales. They have a few more levers next quarter - EV tax credit expires at the end of Q2 SR model 3 should be closer etc. & #x200B | rjl425 | 2019-02-16 16:00:36 | 20 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I own a brand new MX (bought it in Dec) love it to death and I am now considering a 2nd Tesla to replace my gas crossover. I was thinking of a new Model 3 but new cars take such a hit on depreciation. I have been looking into a used Model S and after doing the math on it (ownership over 3 - 4 years -- about the duration I keep cars) it makes a lot more sense. There are TONS of options for good Model S vehicles right now. In 2 years time when you are looking to buy you might find some great Model 3s at the perfect price point. May I ask what price point you are looking at? | juanquivilla | 2019-02-17 02:15:36 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

an6zkw | [Discussion] Model Y to share 75% of parts with Model 3... but which ones?! | So the 75% number isn t exactly breaking news... but looking at another post with an artists rendition of the car it seemed to key off the Model 3 styling quite a bit. Also I watched a video where a guy modded his rear doors to have a manual release. It involved disassembling the door and modifying the interior. Those two things got me thinking about how many parts are in a car and how Tesla might be counting parts when coming up with their 75% number. For instance is each cell of the battery pack a part or will they count the assembled 75 KWh (for example) battery pack as a single part? Another example is the puddle lights... is the whole assembly including the wiring connection considered a part or will the lens bulb bulb receptacle mounting bracket etc. all be individual parts? One assumes that the motor assembly brake assembly etc. will be consistent but what about the body panels or fascia? Based on the Model S Model X similarities it seems reasonable to assume the Y will look similar to the Model 3 but if it s going to be a small SUV how many body panels can really be shared? Same question for interior... will should Tesla copy the interior from Model 3? And I don t just mean the same sort of look and feel I mean literally the same seats same dash same center console same touch screen same door trim (which would mean the same doors I suppose)?

That implies new rear suspension design. 2) Likely the model Y will have more ground clearance than the 3 so a new front suspension will also be needed. 3) Its a new model so all new body panels will be needed.

an6zkw | [Discussion] Model Y to share 75% of parts with Model 3... but which ones?! | So the 75% number isn t exactly breaking news... but looking at another post with an artists rendition of the car it seemed to key off the Model 3 styling quite a bit. Also I watched a video where a guy modded his rear doors to have a manual release. It involved disassembling the door and modifying the interior. Those two things got me thinking about how many parts are in a car and how Tesla might be counting parts when coming up with their 75% number. For instance is each cell of the battery pack a part or will they count the assembled 75 KWh (for example) battery pack as a single part? Another example is the puddle lights... is the whole assembly including the wiring connection considered a part or will the lens bulb bulb receptacle mounting bracket etc. all be individual parts? One assumes that the motor assembly brake assembly etc. will be consistent but what about the body panels or fascia? Based on the Model S Model X similarities it seems reasonable to assume the Y will look similar to the Model 3 but if it s going to be a small SUV how many body panels can really be shared? Same question for interior... will should Tesla copy the interior from Model 3? And I don t just mean the same sort of look and feel I mean literally the same seats same dash same center console same touch screen same door trim (which would mean the same doors I suppose)?

The proprietary Permanent Magnet Switched Reluctant Motor is more efficient than AC induction motor and yet cheaper than synchronous motor. Combined with integrated inverter cost is further reduced.

8f7jfw | [Discussion] Music library display from iPhone on the touchscreen? | I picked up my model 3 about 2 weeks ago and absolutely love the car so far. I do have a question that I m wondering about (and quite possibly being incredibly dense). I ve been able to connect my iPhone via BT music streaming but for the life of me can t figure out how to pull up my music library through the interface? Obviously i can select songs playlists on the phone and have them play via bluetooth but when i click on my phone through the touchscreen it plays a random song. Every car i ve had for the last 10 years has had the ability to browse my library and pick songs artists playlists... is this functionality really missing from the model 3 or am i just completely unable to find the setting? | DbG925 | 2018-04-27 00:25:39 | 13 | dy1ae48 | 1. Start a playlist playing on your phone (on any app) then use the left scroller to control within that playlist. 2. Use a service like Soundiiz to move your playlists over to Slacker (the streaming app that is built in). They then behave like you d like. This requires subscription. 3. Wait until Tesla builds in your app (1 vote here for Spotify) 4. Wait until Tesla creates a richer app to interface to existing apps. I think they should do #4 in which case I d get my Spotify integration and everyone else would get theirs too. You wouldn t need to do anything on your phone your playlists would be on the car assuming the service you use allows app integration. See Sonos for how this should be done many services (Spotify Apple Music Deezer Slacker Tidal Google Play Music Sirius TuneIn SoundCloud) work within the Sonos system once you enter your credentials from those other services. It logs onto them and uses your credentials to fetch playlists. So Tesla just needs to make an app on Model 3 like Sonos. Or hell ask Sonos to join the fun. | jpbeans | 2018-04-27 01:21:05 | 10 | Spotify Gapless Playback |

9osvtd | [Discussion] Musk and Tesla pay $40M fine to reimburse harmed investors. How will that work? | Today s confirmed settlement between the SEC and Elon Musk says that Musk and Tesla will each pay a separate $20 million penalty. The $40 million in penalties will be distributed to harmed investors under a court-approved process. Is there any precedent for this kind of process? How is that process likely to work? And who is it likely to benefit? Specifically who is considered a harmed investor in this case? * Someone who shorted shares of Tesla before he announced his intention to take the company private? (Would short sellers even be considered investors ?) * Someone who bought shares of Tesla after it spiked up to $380ish expecting it to eventually go up to $420 and then lost money as the market gradually determined that Tesla wasn t going private after all? * Individuals who bought and sold stock options before and during this event? * Individuals who have invested in ETFs and mutual funds that have holdings in TSLA? I have a hunch that a hell of a lot more than $40M changed hands during those couple days... Who gets a piece of the pie? | snozzberrypatch | 2018-10-16 23:15:57 | 10 | e7whfyz | > I have a hunch that a hell of a lot more than $40M changed hands during those couple days... Who gets a piece of the pie? People need to prove an actual trading loss that would not have otherwise happened. For example a long would need to have bought at say $380 and sold at $250 say that was for 10 shares their loss is (380-250 )x 10 = 1 300. The could put in a claim for that amount. A short would have needed a forced closure due high price so for simplicity assume the reverse forced close at $380 originally short at $250. Getting a piece of the $40 million pie will be taken into account for any future legal action settlement. The appeal as an aggrieved party is quick money with a probable low bar the downside is the low bar makes it easy for others to get a chunk of the $40 Million. So if the aggrieved party still considers themselves aggrieved they need to pursue legal action. | M3FanOZ | 2018-10-16 23:31:47 | 10 | Elon Musk Tesla Controversy |

Saves you a lot of time and they will get a lot more money back for you than if you were to do it alone.

I may be getting some of the details wrong but I had $5k of repairs that had to be done on my GTI. Insurance only wanted to pay $1.4k. I invoked this right and before the 3rd party even had a chance to inspect they agreed to the $5k (they were actually concerned it could have been more than $5k in damage apparently) | Altamont99 | 2018-05-24 19:17:05 | 11 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

8thfm8 | [Discussion] My Model 3 has 5k miles and my tires are down to 8 32. Is this the normal wear for the stock tires everyone is seeing? | I never checked what the wear was when at delivery 2 months ago but feel like this is crazy fast to be down to 8 32. Edit: I have the 18 wheels and have kept aero covers on. Edit2: it appears the stock tread depth is 8 32 so mystery solved | Athabascad | 2018-06-24 12:15:41 | 46 | e17i83m | There are a few factors that contribute to faster tire wear on a Tesla as compared to most of the vehicles that Tesla owners are more familiar with. 1. Teslas are on average several hundred pounds heavier than cars in their class. In addition a lot of Tesla owners are coming from the economy car segment which is an even lighter class altogether. 2. Tesla tires are performance oriented. That means the rubber compound in the tire is a bit softer which increases the amount of road grip the tires have. 3. Teslas have electric motors which allow for the vehicle to very easily accelerate at the edge of the tires grip limits. You don t get much if any wheel slippage but the wear to the tire during hard acceleration even without spinning the wheels places nearly the same level of wear on the tire tread. 4. Once you re used to Tesla acceleration you don t even realize how much harder you are being on the tires.. There s a penalty for instant-on acceleration - and that s increased tire wear. Things to keep an eye out for: Uneven wear on the tires. If you notice that the inside or the outside of the wheel seems to be wearing down more they may need to be re-aligned. Properly inflated tires should wear evenly across the tread. Uneven wear means the weight of the car is concentrated on a smaller part of the tire and due to the Tesla s added weight you ll go through tires very quickly (and its dangerous). | manbearpyg | 2018-06-24 12:50:28 | 38 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |

Is this the normal wear for the stock tires everyone is seeing? | I never checked what the wear was when at delivery 2 months ago but feel like this is crazy fast to be down to 8 32. Edit: I have the 18 wheels and have kept aero covers on.

88tgda | [Discussion] My Service Center is now charging for Valet services. | This was a surprise to me as I live about 30 miles from the closest SC. This equates to about 45 minutes of driving there and another 45 minutes back. Then there is the 30-45 minutes of waiting for someone and then talking with them about the issues with my car. It roughly turns in to 3 hours of my day lost. Normally I just request someone to meet me at my office which then puts me only 20 miles away from the same SC. The reason they told me they started charging now is that they opened up another SC to offload the ability to service their customers. The problem is that the new SC is 50 miles from my home so it is NOT any closer to me. I asked if I could be excluded from the new charge for valet service since their new SC doesn t help me at all and the rep said no but they would only offer me one free valet service since this is the first time I heard about this. What really bothers me about this is that this is the third time I m going back to them for the same issue in 4 months. Are other SC s charging for valet service and I m the last to hear about it? The SC I m talking about is the one in Dania Beach Florida. | HarleyDS | 2018-04-01 19:46:08 | 21 | dwn37oh | Hmm. I have always driven 45 or so minutes to my SC and never expected valet service. I would be happy they offered it for as long as they did. | ClevelandSteamer81 | 2018-04-01 19:48:23 | 21 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

I know it s an expensive vehicle but I really don t mind driving the 45 minutes to the SC. As an investor I say good move! | JeffMoore81 | 2018-04-01 21:14:12 | 11 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

If it s something egregious I d expect it but otherwise I wouldn t. It s your time or theirs. Nothing says they need to give you valet. | feurie | 2018-04-01 20:17:28 | 9 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
8tf9vm | [Discussion] My UMC just opened my neighbor s charge port on his S parked in his driveway | Opened my garage door pressed the button on my UMC to release the charger and heard a noise from my neighbor s driveway 20 ft away (townhouse subdivision). Look over and the charge port on his S is open and glowing. Not a big deal but is that normal? Seems like it would be annoying at like workplace EV charging spots or anywhere where Teslas are gathered | NoVA_traveler | 2018-06-24 03:51:29 | 49 | e171wn7 | Yea it s normal for the old style charge ports. My 2014 Model S will open the charge port even if the car is locked. The new motorized ones don t do that anymore. | DDotJ | 2018-06-24 03:57:58 | 23 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

Luckily you can t use this trick to remove a charger since the car would have to be unlocked. | navinsiri | 2018-06-24 03:58:05 | 8 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
8vli72 | [Discussion] My biggest issue with the Model X (and presumably the S) are the cheap non-ventilated seats. | I commute in the MX75 and we take all family trips in it and I have a serious issue with how little the seats breathe. Not to mention the lack of AC in the seats which my 5 year old F150 has. On a beautiful California day of 75 degrees when driving home my ass and back sweat through my clothes. (No matter how much you flame for this statement the seats still don t breathe) It s actually ridiculous for a $100k car. This issue alone had lost Tesla another sale as my wife refused to drive the X as a daily driver if I was to purchase a 3. She would rather buy an ICE luxury car with seats that match the price of the car. Sigh. | neoreeps | 2018-07-02 19:29:37 | 20 | e1otcq8 | Despite what die hard fanboys will tell you Tesla interiors are worse than their competitors at the same price (or even lower price points). I got a new P100D with ventilated seats and despite supposedly being an improvement to the old ones they still aren t great. Also they re super loud compared to the ventilated seats in my Mercedes. | achanaikia | 2018-07-03 00:06:47 | 13 | Car seat configurations in Tesla |

88tzmn | [Discussion] My credit card slid right into the center console Do I bother or just get a replacement card? | Will it cause any problems?

8qci9t | [Discussion] My electrician is asking for my Tesla s charging requirements specs what should I provide? | For my condo our landlord (who is the liaison to the electrician) sent me this: > Electrician just asked if you can send us the specs for the charging requirements for the car because he s worried that with the 15 amp circuit it might not be adequate for charging depending on what the car requires. What should I send back?? (It s for 120V and Model 3) | canucktesladude | 2018-06-11 20:00:24 | 31 | e0i37tt | Are they installing something specific to support you or are you only expecting to super duper slow trickle charge on a standard outlet?
