9hjuij | [Discussion] Owners who choose to not get Paint Protection Film Ceramic Coatings high end tint etc. why? | Given that these are pretty expensive cars I see a lot of people springing for them. In some states tint is more of a necessity than an option furthermore I do see people tend to spring for the more expensive tint as well. I m aware of the reasonings to get those so I m interested to hear from those who choose to skip out on a number of them or compromise somehow. What are your reasonings to do so? (FWIW right now I m planning to just tint my car though the amount is under debate) edit: why the downvotes? this isn t even shaming making fun of those who get it (if i had more $$$ leftover I would more easily spring for a bunch of these things without a second thought). edit 2: wow tough crowd. must be dealing with the same people that don t like fobs for model 3 s. | quantumslip | 2018-09-20 22:53:38 | 22 | e6crnzy | Because $5 000 on a $50 000 is quite frankly a crap investment.

The factory paint nowadays is good enough to protect the car from minor damage and anything larger than that will go through those coating like butter and will make everything look 10 times worse. If ceramic coating would be worth the effort then car manufacturers would be offering that as a factory option - it would be far cheaper to apply to car panels before final assembly they could have undercut third party coaters by half the price easily but they do not. Because they know it is worthless. Plus you are also likely increasing drag weight and making the car harder to cool in the summer.

9cxw19 | [Discussion] Owners with multiple Teslas - What s on your wishlist? | As someone fortunate enough to own two Teslas at the same time I ve thought of a few things I d love to see that would make the ownership experience better. Anyone else got any other great ideas? * Show location of other Teslas on your account on the map. I d love to see where my wife is on the way home to know who s closer. (Future suggestion- allow this cross accounts so you can see friends too). * Option for the Model S X to use the gear stalk for AP. Whenever I drive the 3 for a few days and then hop into the X I put the X into neutral when I try and use AP or cruise and then wonder why the car feels so weird for the next 5 seconds as I figure it out. The Model 3 overloading the gear stalk for AP works just fine so unify the HMI. * Get rid of the super annoying powerwall ad in the app. There s no way to know which way to swipe to switch cars in the app and if you swipe into the powerwall ad accidentally you re forced to let it open and then click it closed. * Allow the Model 3 phone key to work even if the Model 3 isn t active in the app. I get this may be a technical challenge if you have two Model 3 s but if you have a non-3 and and 3 I fail to see why you have to be on the 3 for the phone key to work. * Track media settings across cars. Would be awesome if you got out of one car and into the other and your media was set up the same way on the same station or track. Any others? Anyone with a twitter account want to tweet these to Elon so he can promise them in a future revision while on an ambien bender? | beastpilot | 2018-09-04 17:37:06 | 13 | e5dyo4u | Not necessarily related to having two Teslas but I d like to see the passenger seat adjust when the drivers side changes.

IMHO Tesla really needs to refresh the Model S and X interiors and get rid of the Model S door handles. Those things are driving me nuts -- we just had to get them repaired (service center waived the $$$ repair because it s still in warranty) and they re acting up again right as the warranty is ending. They were cool when the car was new but now I just want simple door handles -- the 3 handles are simple and get the job done. Also the 3 interior (especially with new white option) feels like a legit spaceship (e.g. SpaceX Dragon) whereas S and X don t feel as advanced while being the far more expensive option. The Model 3 HVAC system sound system and MCU are far superior as well IMO. At this point I prefer everything on the 3 except for Bioweapon Defense Mode on S. I will miss that but not enough to keep me from trading in the S. | WhyDontTheyAMA | 2018-09-04 17:45:02 | 8 | Tesla companion app features |
7vf1o9 | [Discussion] Owners: would you want Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on your Tesla? | How would you feel about those systems? Do you think they would feel like a downgrade from the current one? Are you satisfied with the integration between the system and the smartphones? | Dracogame | 2018-02-05 14:23:21 | 224 | dtrr3uv | For whatever it s worth the lack of these systems is one of the biggest reasons I m considering canceling my model 3 preorder. Different strokes for different folks but I have zero interest in eventually paying for a data plan for my car or paying for an additional music streaming subscription when I already have one. I also want to use my phone for podcasts google music and Google maps which are already on my phone and tightly integrated into my life. I have zero interest in using the maps or media options on the model 3. I will probably mount my phone right behind the steering wheel and use Bluetooth but I d much rather have Android auto. | gkirl | 2018-02-05 14:43:33 | 94 | Tesla companion app features |

Are you satisfied with the integration between the system and the smartphones? | Dracogame | 2018-02-05 14:23:21 | 224 | dtry1r7 | Having Android Auto CarPlay on my Bolt has been by far one of the standout features that I think is *nearly* essential at this point. It s not a deal breaker to not have it but its massive downside. Most of the people who don t want it don t understand the convenience of being able to download all your music from Spotify on your phone then hooking it up to your car and have a very simplified Spotify interface ready to go with all your preferences and same story with audible. Then things like loading up and planning your trip on your phone using Google Maps Waze and knowing you will have reliable navigation. I don t ever have to worry about touching my phone while driving and if I must reply to a text message Google Assistant works remarkably well. It may seem minor but once you consider you can have a seamless experience between multiple cars(if you have more than 1 car with AA) and it would help alleviate some of the pain points Teslas and a lot of cars have it becomes a very valuable tool. I have to say my experience with CarPlay has been pretty subpar but definitely is ahead of the game on design the most annoying thing about CP was not being able to choose which maps services you wanted to use. You HAD to use Apple Maps. | butteredmuffins | 2018-02-05 16:47:18 | 46 | Tesla companion app features |

We almost didn t buy our Model X because of the lack of CarPlay and Tesla s commitment to never shipping CarPlay. After 10 months of ownership the media and nav experience is still BY FAR the weakest part of the car. Everything else is great. It works but every time we get in the other car we re reminded how much we miss it. That will probably never go away. | smithandjohnson | 2018-02-05 17:39:05 | 13 | Tesla companion app features |

If you re wanting AA CP so you can get your phone s notifications text messages on the car s screen that s possible without AA CP. GM s been doing it for a few years now and Chrysler has too. I don t know of a reason why Tesla couldn t do that with bluetooth and the existing hardware. People want CP and AA so they can use Waze and other nav apps but to get to full autonomy we can t be relying on a third-party app and hardware that can be unplugged at any moment. The car is going to be using it s own internal maps anyway for FSD so why would Tesla invest resources to give human meat drivers the navigational options that you re *actively* trying to make obsolete? Current AA CP nav solutions don t deal with EV questions of charging supercharger availability range etc. They also cannot monitor your car s efficiency and state of charge to know when to recommend charging. On a longer trip where charging might enter the picture *you d be right back to the integrated nav system anyway.* The new routing engine that is already in the software of ever S 3 X but only enabled on the Model 3 is by most reports at least the equal of Google Maps and leaves every other in-dash nav solution in the dust. The media player needs work no doubt about that but I think that s a highly solvable problem if when Tesla puts the development resources into it. EDIT: So I get downvoted because I don t want AA CP or because I laid out a case for *why* I don t want it? | majesticjg | 2018-02-05 15:40:49 | 10 | Tesla companion app features |

8x2vmx | [Discussion] P100D wall charger install question | Man I ve been spending a lot of time reading about Tesla s in the last week since I took delivery ! I m having a wall charger installed on Thursday by a company that is listed on Teslas site for WC installs.I spoke with the electrician who said he has done other WC installs but he never asked me what Model S I had. I received his bid and signed off on it 60 amp #6 THHN circuit. Today I learned Tesla is recommending a 90amp circuit (#4 wire I assume) for the P100 and P100D. This is so I can charge at 80amps if I want to ? I m going to ask the electrician to re-do his bid for 90amp but I m wondering if the 90amp circuit will be worth the extra upfront costs ? I know I will get faster charging and less power loss during charging but I usually charge overnight. On the other hand it doesn t make sense to have a car this expensive and balk at the extra costs for charging. Any advice from other P100 or P100D owners? | mintakax | 2018-07-08 17:03:51 | 14 | e20f4cg | We went with the 60amp (car chargers at 48 amps or a little over 30 miles of range per hour) and have never needed more for our S 100D in the year we ve had it. (The few times we ve gotten home after a long road trip with 10% remaining the car was back up to 80% the following morning before we d be ready to go anywhere.) We also plan to daisy chain the 60amp to ANOTHER HPWC if when our Model 3 shows up where the two will share the load automatically. In sum: you re giving up faster charging so weigh the cost difference in the wiring. If it s not much more or not a big difference to your financial situation it may be worth the price but for us it wasn t. | LurkerWithAnAccount | 2018-07-08 17:28:08 | 6 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

Any advice from other P100 or P100D owners? | mintakax | 2018-07-08 17:03:51 | 14 | e20jn61 | I own an S100D If you want it you want a 100amp circuit rather than 90. Anything that runs for more than ?an hour? (I m not an electrician) is only allowed to pull 80% the rated amount. 60amp circuit 48amp charging. 100amp circuit 80 amp charging. Make sure you are paying attention to the total service to your house. 100amps is a lot. If you ve got the dual chargers (I do in my S100D do not know if they were standard or if you paid for them in the P100D) then you will get faster at home charging on the 100amp circuit. ... but .... Make sure you are thinking about use case. If you ve got a second Tesla do it for reasons other people will post. Essentially: there s no additional cost and you will get additional utility. With my S100D I have never dialed in a number even 100% (which I ve done once or twice before a trip) and gotten up the next morning without the car being charged. So for overnight charging the P100D is going to charge just fine at 48amp and the 35-ish miles per hour that it delivers. So now with the 80amp charging you are considering the case of in the day charging. I don t remember the exact range on the P100D. Lets say it s 310 miles and that 90% of that is 275 miles. So you are leaving your house in the morning with 275 miles of range. How likely is it that you end up back at your house in the day needing more charge? If so how likely is it that the difference between 30ish miles per hour and 60-70 miles per hour makes a difference to you? IMO with that range you have only three scenarios: You are taking a trip and are no where close to home. You will supercharge. You have driven a ton and have to turn around fast to take a trip with what s left of your day. You will supercharge. You are home for the night. You will charge overnight. ... edit ... One more thing. If you don t own a Tesla yet or have not noticed: Supercharging rates are unreal. No they are not as good as pumping gas but I m looking at a screenshot from my phone of my car at 25% charging at 115kw estimated to be 377miles hour. There s a moment where it s literally faster for you to get range into the car by driving to the super charger vs. putting it on any charger that can be installed in your home. | analyticaljoe | 2018-07-08 18:40:03 | 5 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
aadw05 | [Discussion] PSA to fob users: Don t leave your phone with Bluetooth ON inside your car. | It may be common knowledge but just a reminder to those who don t know... I have a model 3 with a fob. For those asking why: it s because I m an athlete who doesn t want to carry a phone on me during exercise. I left my phone with Bluetooth ON inside the car got out and locked the car with the fob. Your car will UNLOCK if someone tries opening the door handle because your phone is still inside the vehicle. Make sure you re turning off Bluetooth before exiting your car to make sure you re actually locking the car with the fob keycard. Safe journeys! | pussydissapointer | 2018-12-28 20:17:15 | 32 | ecrcpvk | Yeah it s the same if you leave the phone and just take the card. I have to remind myself not to leave it behind when I go shopping. I m looking forward to Tesla having more fobs in stock because it seems they re most convenient. Then I ll just disable unlocking the car with my phone. | transinit | 2018-12-28 21:38:52 | 5 | Tesla phone key functionality |
9983qx | [Discussion] Paid Tesla 60k in full for my Model 3 over a month ago. Now being told my delivery is delayed indefinitely. Do I have any recourse? | My delivery date has been delayed 3 times. Now I am being told by my DA they re just not going to even give me a tentative delivery date anymore. I ve already paid 60k in full over a month ago. But I have no car since I sold mine just ahead of the original delivery date. Tesla provided me a rental but refuses to loan me an actual Tesla. Additionally Tesla refuses any other comp for my troubles (even free Supercharging). Do I have any recourse? Advice? My DA told me to suck it up (paraphrased) since many others are in a similar situation. Thanks in advance. UPDATE: I got a call from my Delivery Adviser this morning that due to logistical issues (still unexplained) they are recommending that we simply re-order a new car for me entirely.

I was supposed to get my car tomorrow. Tesla called today and said we had to reschedule for next Tuesday. They said “it didn t make it on the truck” how is Tesla so horrible at logistics? Glad I didn t sell my car. I d be carless. Why doesn t Tesla use the gps in every Tesla to track where each car is? Like make a special power mode just for shipping with the gps on. | g1zm0929 | 2018-08-21 23:47:42 | 58 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

I drive an hour to work and they were delivering it to the showroom near me and promised up and down I would have a lyft driver to take me to work (because how would I get my other car home?) call day before and confirm yes they ll be there at the time I need them to be there. The time rolls around the next day I m just standing there on the curb of my complex. Call no answer. They aren t open. Wait a few minutes because they might be running late. Nothing. 10 mins late now I have to give up and order my own uber. So I m out $30 and not even a apology. The showroom people were nice and amazing but the fact the delivery dropped the ball and can t even make it right is sooooo irritating. | donttrusttheliving | 2018-08-22 00:58:32 | 23 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

Only one side of the exchange has been completed. Get an attorney and escalate. At a minimum they are going to return to you the net difference after subtracting the $2 500 config fee and the $1 000 deposit (if applicable). Essentially whatever “balance due” funds you brought to closing (and then never closed) are still rightfully yours and Tesla *WILL* return them once you get past the asshats you re dealing with. A simple one page letter from an attorney would fix that if all is as you describe. | AFew10_9TooMany | 2018-08-22 04:19:54 | 19 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

Paid for funded the car on July 27th originally scheduled for Aug 21st. I had to call THEM the day before trying to confirm the delivery to be told I was being tentatively rescheduled for Sept 1. Why? > We apologize for the delays as we are working to improve our delivery experience for our customers. There were other cars affected as well. I assure you that I will be monitoring your vehicle closely and will let you know if there are any additional status updates for your vehicle. To which I demanded to know exactly what happened and how the car was affected. The reply? > unfortunately several cars were affected by the delays. We are working to improve our delivery process for customers in the future. which clearly doesn t answer the question and I reiterated that. Their answer? > I do not work in logistics I cannot give particulars of the delays. I assure you that we are monitoring all cars closely. > > Some of the cars were delayed due to transporter issues but this is all the information we were given. The cars are now en route and you will be contacted should there be any additional information that we need to provide. So they re unable to provide information on where the car is what happened or whether or not the car was damaged. It s a ginormous black hole of information that makes me think they re hiding something from me. My gut feeling is that all the cars rejected at delivery and or with quality issues discovered at the factory get put aside for markets that the customer must pay up front and lack leverage and they re reworked prior to delivery. I ve told them I won t accept the car at delivery unless I m provided with the car s repair and rework history. I m sure they ll tell me to pound sand. EDIT: miracles upon miracles Tesla decided to put another car in the queue for me rather than explain what happened to mine. Now I just have to navigate updating my loan documents with my credit union. Gotta keep everybody s day interesting I guess. | Schnort | 2018-08-22 14:16:29 | 18 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

I don t know what the supposed glitch was but I wonder if your ISA is unaware of this or just unwilling to investigate the issue. Have you tried calling your local delivery center? I ve found the delivery center can be much more helpful than the ISA after payment. You can find the phone number for the local delivery service center through Google Maps. I m not sure which Texas city you re in but if you re in DFW you ll want to contact the Cedar Springs service center. | geoffreak | 2018-08-22 02:10:20 | 8 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

A car matching your specs was probably in one of those lots on CA. They went to pull it for delivery and started the rework process. Realized it was not reworkable let in a timeframe they could predict and are now looking for substitute or are scheduling your car for assembly. Did they assign you a vin?

I eventually went to the nearest service center and talked to a manager until I got an S loaner. In my case they loaned me a P100D when I only ordered a 75D. So I had no problems doing ludicrous launches while I waited for my car. I would recommend going to the service center in person and trying to get a different car. Sometimes they have them sometimes they don t unfortunately. | Aerzzz | 2018-08-22 13:13:25 | 6 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

Used CQuartz Finest in the past and my car had clear bra Tesla Paint Armor. I m going to do something similar with my Model 3 however this time I ll get OptiCoat Pro along with clear bra on front rear bumper behind each wheel and entire hood. In general ceramic coatings seal in the paint and protect it from bird shit tree sap etc. They do NOT protect it from scratches. Only clear bra does that. When I had CQuartz done on my Model S I paid around $800-$850 including paint correction (both times it was done). Granted there wasn t much correction to be done on a brand new car and this was back in 2014. The prices have raised a bunch. However IMO some of these detailers charging $1.5K-$2K for ceramic coatings are price gouging you unless there is significant paint correction needed. Tint is going to cost you anywhere from $150-$500 depending on type and location. Full wrap of the car is going to cost you $4K-$8K depending on type and location as well. Dipping your entire car is also possible but I have no idea the cost. u Kushari has done it several times although he has a friend that does it so gets good discount. | dieabetic | 2018-03-02 21:49:09 | 12 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

Over that short amount of time I had a fair number of new rock chips and I was very careful. XPel isn t invincible but I feel like I did my part in protecting my new car. | seabie | 2018-03-02 22:36:41 | 8 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

aokaka | [Discussion] Parts take forever | Original post [here](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments a8arov you_guys_think_thisll_buff_out ) Small tangentially related update [here](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments aje9lq discussion_you_guys_think_thisll_buff_out_update ) Just another Tesla needs to get it s shot together post. So my car made it to the Tesla-approved body shop on 12 28 and on 1 3 19 Geico said they d pay for the $15 500 worth of repairs. This was the worst news I could get. The shop ordered the parts for the car on 1 3 19. I called them today to see what the status was and they informed me that they re waiting on a few more parts (of course) specifically the airbags. They said they were given a timeline of 2 months for them. Hoping that s 2 months from the order date not from today. Not that I m holding my breath. So there s the update for those of you that are interested. Biggest downside to this company. At any time your car could be gone for 2-3 months IF you re lucky. Coming up on the second car payment sans-car. Be careful out there. | DiachronicShear | 2019-02-08 19:48:37 | 10 | eg1jlh1 | Elon mentioned this during the Q4 earnings call. Essentially he admitted Tesla has been dumb with how it handles parts inventory logistics. They are working to make it better. One such way to make it better is having common parts stored onsite at repair facilities. Common parts such as fenders and bumpers. | im_not_a_grill | 2019-02-08 20:25:02 | 8 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |
b6bhnk | [Discussion] Pay for performance OTA upgrade on AWD Model 3? | I ve thought about this a lot. The main thing separating the performance of the Dual Motor AWD Model 3 vs the P3D is the software. If Tesla was to one day add this as an add on like the AP FSD options would any of you consider it? If so what should the pricing look like etc.? You obviously still wouldn t have the other various options the P3D has (carbon fiber rear lip suspension brakes etc.) but this could be a great way for Tesla to make money. | mrjohnmoreno | 2019-03-27 23:31:01 | 17 | ejjergs | I think *if* they did this it s likely that they d drop the 0-60 down to something like 3.9 or 4s. If you drop it all the way down to P3D times you have to charge a ton of money for it (at least the price difference between P3D- and AWD) and I m not sure the take rate would be very high – because if you were willing to pay that much you would ve gotten a P3D in the first place. But if they did sort of a halfway thing for maybe $3k I bet people would pay for it. I probably would. If this is ever going to happen I m sure it ll be toward the end of a quarter. | kevincennis | 2019-03-28 00:44:46 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

8dpf5d | [Discussion] Payment types accepted for final payment | My delivery profile is complete and it sounds like I ll have the option of paying what s due at delivery using an online portal within 48 hours of my delivery. I can t find a definitive list of the payment types that are accepted for this I reached out to my delivery specialist a couple days ago but haven t heard back (I m guessing they re really busy). I imagine a cashier s check is an option but is there an option to just enter in my bank account and routing numbers? | nstruct | 2018-04-20 17:33:47 | 15 | dxp2y5p | As I was preparing for delivery I was told I could pay with cashier s check ACH transfer (by inputting my bank account info in to the MyTesla account a few days ahead of delivery) or personal check. Personal check? Yes personal check. As it turned out for me since I financed through TechCU TechCU actually sends daily FedEx packets of loan origination checks to Tesla HQ. So that s how my balance was paid. One thing to note that my delivery adviser said. If your car has any issues or there are any topics that may compel you to not take delivery when you show up it s better if you **have not** already paid by ACH.... because you already paid. So it may be a bit of extra protection for yourself to plan to bring a check either your own or from your lender. | TheNewJasonBourne | 2018-04-20 19:06:54 | 10 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

7qsvyy | [Discussion] Performance Model 3 Timing | I haven t heard anything since the rumored track testing video back in October. Since the AWD version is only a couple months away per Tesla s current schedule (Spring 2018) when do you guys think we ll hear more about the P version? Getting the dual motor version rolling off the production line is the big production change and the rest of it should be small in comparison. The increased margin on the P model will also be very tempting to Tesla but I can see them worrying about cannibalizing S sales so they may wait until AFTER the inevitable Model S refresh. | aaronkalb | 2018-01-16 15:08:03 | 12 | dsrlas8 | Lets just hope for a model s refresh | Cubicbill1 | 2018-01-16 15:15:03 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I hope that s not the case. Switching the line to an SR battery pack would seem like a simpler change than to switch the line to a D. But who knows. My point is only that switching to the D before the SR could imply a P version sooner. On the other hand it would be bad optics and PR to both postpone the SR with a D instead and to accelerate a P version. That would all involve driving up the costs. Helps the TSLA bottom line but moves the company *further* away from its promised $35k car. Unless TSLA prioritizes its bottom line over all else I would think and hope any P version is at least a year away so they can work through the backlog. | sabasaba19 | 2018-01-16 15:51:59 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Price before options will be $74 500 and the advertised 0-60 time will be 3.1s. Tesla doesn t want to talk about the Model 3 Performance version because they want to sell more Model S cars now. The anti-selling will end once they start making the M3P (< < new term I just made up but I like it). | Teslike | 2018-01-16 16:37:42 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
9rsmkg | [Discussion] Performance Model 3 upgrade definitely software? | The Performance Model 3 price just effectively dropped by $5k and then Elon promised to give free lifetime super charging or $5k back to all P3D owners via Twitter.

8ma816 | [Discussion] Phenomenon of autopilot crashes in experienced drivers. | There appears to a growing trend of people with significant experience using Autopilot being more likely be to be involved in crashes where autopilot is active. In fact Elon himself acknowledged this as such on the recent conference call when someone mentioned that the problem was because people seems to naively over estimate the capabilities of Autopilot leading to safety concerns. In response to that question he said that people who are new to Autopilot are less like likely to run into accidents and people with more experience with Autopilot have problems (I am paraphrasing here). Whatever the problem is with software in terms of reading road lines veering into dividers etc. is likely happening with same frequency for new drivers and more experienced Autopilot drivers. More experienced Autopilot driver s software is not any worse in terms of its capabilities to navigate but they are the ones who seem to be more likely to run into crash. This seems to suggest that Autopilot leads to complacency overtime and basic human nature allows drivers s to let their guards down more and more over time. What do you think?

Someone here posted that an AP2 update changed the way their car reacted to temporary barriers that are used to manage traffic (as in changing the direction of lanes during rush hour). He stated that he had made the same daily commute many times with no issues but the latest update resulted in his car lusting for the barriers. I can definitely see how that would catch an experienced driver off guard. I have an AP1 car and have found it to be entirely predictable and consistent. I m still thinking about a Model 3 with AP2 but would be much more wary of updates. | isthataflashlight | 2018-05-26 14:34:47 | 13 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

In all of these situations it sounds like people don t change their level of attention when on AP. When you are driving normally your level of attention fluctuates based on conditions and what you see ahead. Are you on city of highway what s the weather is there more traffic ahead is there a light coming up is there construction do you see flashing lights ahead etc. So shouldn t ppls attention when on AP fluctuate as well. If you see a divider or exit coming up put both hands on the wheel foot over the brakes and be ready to take over. There s a giant map on the screen no excuse not to know what road design is coming up. But I never hear experienced people discuss AP driving this way....and then ultimately you hear about accidents at these highway dividers. But where s the accidents on the clear and open sections of the highways? You can be completely comfortable with AP but you should still vary your attention just like non-AP driving. If you treat it this way I think AP will still make driving less stressfull overall. | jeifurie | 2018-05-26 14:03:36 | 11 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

8vz01l | [Discussion] Preparing to move on a Model X what do you wish you knew before you bought? | Hey! I m in Dallas TX working with the North Park store. If you have any TX specific info you think I should know I m all ears. Is the referral code (for unlimited supercharging for life) expiring as big a deal as the staff is making it seem? Is it gonna come back immediately? Probably going with Alliant financing. Doing AP EAP no PUP. What do you wish you d known going into the buying process (or during the first 90 days) of your Model X S? | chucknorrisinator | 2018-07-04 05:05:39 | 12 | e1rm6c5 | I used Alliant. Amazing service. The car _will_ come with issues - that s part of the deal. Set aside sometime every week to take it to the SC. Got my X a month ago took it 4 times so far. Things that I recommend to look for: 1) speakers dying after 1 week. (They had to apply a software update and it was fixed) 2) trunk misalignment 3) window squeaking after closing the door 4) exposed wiring around the car. Yeah around the FWDs on top of the front passenger and around the trunk. This one sucked. 5) tires not properly aligned 6) marks on the paint (they buffed them out) Anyways. Don t be frustrated. It is what it is. The doors are slow and everyone will always look at you. If you are a discreet guy well get used to it. My daughter loves them: she says it makes her look like a star. Whatever :) Apply XPEL asap. I m doing mine soon. | teslafaan | 2018-07-04 07:09:19 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

AP EAP are synonymous. In some respects I wish I had gotten the X over the S. Wish I had known that my wife was going to tell me 1 week into Model S ownership that she wished I had gotten an X. Flash forward 10 months ultimately glad I got the S as it s faster and better suited to me. Driven ~7500 miles worth of multi-day road trips in the car and it s an awesome road trip car and I would imagine the X even more so. Good luck and congrats you won t regret it. | Teslaorvette | 2018-07-04 05:15:07 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

If you notice wear be sure to place some paint protection film down. This seems to be a common known issue but still not a great resolution option available as far as I know. I just replace a 2x2 inch square of paint protection film every 90 days and it does fine. Also we have a white X and the paint seems a bit soft after 2-3 chips on the front I did some paint protection film on the front end I wish I would have done it right off the bat to have perfect paint in the front. In general I would 100& #37 do it again despite it being more than twice as expensive as any other vehicle I ve ever purchased. | cbutters2000 | 2018-07-04 05:26:54 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

You don t really need a wall charger to be honest. A NEMA 14-50 is suffice. I learned this after the fact. I thought i NEEDED a wall charger but so far the NEMA has been more than fine. If you happen to need a referral send me a message! I m giving away the kids model s prize to who uses it. Offer open to anyone really. Also I would double check to make sure the car fits in your garage. I think there are measurement stats on the website. I did not realize just how wide the car is. It fits fine in my garage but I had to move around a bunch of stuff. That is something I wish I knew ahead of time didn t plan for. The free supercharging has been an absolute gold mine for me. Easily one of the most valuable things with the car. So I hope it s just hearsay and is not really ending. That would be a shame. My guess is that it s not. This has happened before and then they just extend it. I also wish I knew of a place that did both window tinting and clearbra wrap before I did it separately. I did both with two separate companies and both mobile. I got too impatient after waiting months to get my car I didn t want to be without the car another week. So if you plan on doing window tinting and a clearbra (highly highly highly recommend) do both at one single reputable place. Would be more faster and a bit cheaper probably. | ShinjukuWard | 2018-07-04 05:30:03 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
8rnjlt | [Discussion] Pretty disappointed with the delivery processes specialist orientation system | I m not sure if it s just ours or if it s a general problem. The guy doing our orientation was in general clueless about the product (Model X). He had a presentation to give and he couldn t answer any questions outside of the script. Later in the day we got this email from him: > It s [Redacted] from Tesla! It was a pleasure meeting your family and you! I m glad I was able to be a part of your orientation if you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me via email or phone that info is posted below. Moving forward I would like to offer myself for any Tesla related needs you may have. I am here to assist! The big problem is that I took his offer seriously and have reached out to him a couple of times. The car was delivered with a defective seat. Every email I ve sent to him has been blown off. Yesterday I requested confirmation that a new seat had been ordered and his reply was basically how should I know I don t work in the service department. The whole thing has left a bit of a sour taste my mouth having made such a large purchase and not having a real contact to reach out to with issues. | moohah | 2018-06-17 00:39:18 | 48 | e0sz41k | I have a bone to pick with Tesla on Monday too. Cracked my Model X windshield so I called Tesla to get it replaced. They scheduled me in the next week. Then I get a call from Tesla saying that they don t have any windshield parts in stock and they will contact me to reschedule when they get the part. So the appointment is cancelled. 2 weeks later I don t hear back and I call Tesla. Lady answers the phone and I ask what the status on the part is. She says it s already in and someone should have called. No big deal I schedule an appointment a week out. Then I arrive for my service appointment. I pull in and the techs check the windshield. They confirm that they have to change the windshield and they radio the service team to make sure the part is in. It is. So I drop the car off and they say it will take until Monday. I get a text on Thursday saying that the car is being sent to get the repair done at a Tesla approved body shop. Then out of the blue I get a text. SURPRISE! Your part is not in stock and we have escalated the issue to our regional parts department. There s a glass backordered and we will have it expedited. Come pick up your car and we ll reach out to you when it arrives. WHAT THE HELL? I had 3 people confirm to me that the part had arrived. Did they get the wrong part? Did they install it on someone else s car? Did it disappear into thin air? I call and they are closed. So I call the Service number and they tell me yeah the windshield is on order and we ll install it when it arrives . This comes right off the heels of waiting two months to get a driver s side mirror. Yeah Tesla has some issues with parts management and quite frankly it s unacceptable. I m going to call again and complain on Monday but I don t know if they can rectify this issue. Tesla s communications is bad and their parts are even worse. OPs story doesn t surprise me at all. Tesla needs to fix this issue especially before they ramp to higher volumes. | DDotJ | 2018-06-17 03:59:04 | 19 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

They will elevate the issue to the head of the location your purchase was made through. With the recent layoffs they should take their job performance being brought into question serious and work quickly to make you happy. | mehony85 | 2018-06-17 00:58:07 | 11 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

Our DS knew nothing about the car - he kept saying he was sorry and that he knew everything about the 3 - good for him but I bought a MX a car that costs more than 2x. Thankfully I watched every orientation video online and read the owners manual prior to the delivery. Very underwhelming. I escalated it to exec review. | teslafaan | 2018-06-17 02:24:54 | 6 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

I ll stay with Audi for another car or two depending on when Tesla gets their shit together. I have two dealerships within 20 min drive and have never *not* been provided an equal or greater value loaner.

ax50sn | [Discussion] ProTip: If you were unhappy with Navigate on Autopilot when you first tried it turn off Mad Max and try it again. | In many threads I keep seeing folks confused as to how people like myself enjoy Navigate on Autopilot (NoA) at all. I think a large part of people s frustration with NoA is due to when it was launched everyone set the lane change option to Mad Max because of the cool name and misunderstanding of what the setting actually does. But leaving NoA set to Mad Max will annoy you. The lane change setting will adjust how slow the person in front of you must be in order for NoA to suggest a lane change. On mild NoA set to \~70mph will just have you chill behind the guy in front of you that is going 60mph. On average it will suggest overtaking when the guy in front of you is around 65mph. (Just guestimates of speeds for examples). In mad max mode it will basically not tolerate anyone going slower than your set speed. This leads to useless and frequent lane changes. Mad Max DOES NOT change how aggressive the car is in making the actual lane change maneuver. It will still bake to wait for a wide gap in traffic and gingerly shuffle over to the next lane. I know that when Elon first mentioned Mad Max it was in regards to being aggressive in lane change maneuvers but that is not what we got in production. Read the description in the UI. I still find many of the maneuvers that NoA makes annoying. It decelerates too aggressively when changing lanes if there is someone in your blind spot. It basically never accelerates to make a lane change as I would naturally want to do about half the time. It decelerates too aggressively at exits and brake checks the car behind you. Once you predict some of these things you can avoid them and NoA is quite useful on longer trips to pass slower traffic without thinking much about it and in the city to help get you in the correct lane for a highway interchanges. Tldr: turn off Mad Max. It does not do what many of you still seem to think it does. You may have a slightly happier time with NoA. | claribanter | 2019-03-04 08:56:17 | 195 | ehrfw0q | I ve not once used Mad Max and the experience sucks. | PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE | 2019-03-04 12:16:09 | 13 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

It s a limitation of the system it can t see the lanes that are separated off the main fork and everything gets offset by 1 or 2 lanes. I.e. it thinks you re in the rightmost lane that s forced to exit but actually there is another lane to your right that s not visible by Autopilot. | qbpds75 | 2019-03-04 13:12:51 | 12 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

9p0goz | [Discussion] Protip: if you re going to accept delivery from another state DO NOT use bank of america as your primary lender | It s been like pulling teeth trying to get them to send the correct documents to Tesla so they can get the Ohio BMV to print a paper title so I can register my vehicle in my home state of Michigan. Calling and emailing and dealing with people at the bank who have no idea what I m talking about. It has been a nightmare just trying to do a simple task. I m venting I know but this has been going on for 45 days now. | BertrandShoemaker | 2018-10-17 16:58:02 | 37 | e7ygxvs | I tried to use a bank and I got all the way to telling then to send the wire to Tesla before they told me they don t do out of state sales. Changed to a credit union (found out they financed all the Teslas in town) and have had no problem. | mandjari | 2018-10-17 20:30:44 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
7t0tiv | [Discussion] Putting Model 3 key card RFID chip into something else? | Since the key card in the Model 3 is using RFID it seems that it would be possible to find the chip within the card and then cut it out and put it in anything else. Has anyone else considered doing this? Not that a card is inconvenient but in some cases something smaller length and width wise might be better or something stronger than a card. Perhaps if small enough even inside something to embed under your skin? | McHoffa | 2018-01-26 00:36:51 | 22 | dt8ybfx | Apple Watch band please. | TheKobayashiMoron | 2018-01-26 00:38:19 | 12 | Tesla phone key functionality |

That s why they say not to punch a hole in it. The best you can hope for is to trim down the edges to the limit of the antenna once someone opens one up to map where it is. | mishakhill | 2018-01-26 03:32:05 | 7 | Tesla phone key functionality |

7omrjz | [Discussion] Question About Space in 6 Seat X | I have a 6 seater on order and was wondering how much space there is from the 2nd row moved all the way up to the tailgate. Also when the 2nd row buckets are all the way forward and tilted for Max space will the x let me drive? | oudoge | 2018-01-06 23:15:12 | 12 | dsamoo4 | We were able to transport a 65 TV in its original box with the 2nd row buckets moved up and tilted. So yes it will let you drive but not without a warning in the center screen. | gcalpo | 2018-01-06 23:18:03 | 6 | Car seat configurations in Tesla |
9mggx0 | [Discussion] Question on Tire Rotation: Model 3 and Model S | Hey all! I bought my mother a Model 3 in June and it currently has close to 4K miles on it. I usually do rotations at 5-6k miles. What should be done for a model 3? And where would one take their vehicle for this. Does Tesla charge for tire rotations within warranty if I made an appointment at the San Diego service center and just had her drop it off for the day? Same question applies to a brand new Model S with the 21” Twin Turbine Carbon Rims I believe these are staggered so can not rotate..? Thanks for the help! | ebaydan777 | 2018-10-08 16:36:43 | 10 | e7en75a | For those not in their cars and on reddit at the same time.

I drive a little harder than many here so when I went in for some other service they rotated mine at around 4 700 miles. They do say 6 000 is the normal time to rotate though but driving style can influence this. | Heidenreich12 | 2018-10-08 20:19:36 | 5 | Tire and Wheel Maintenance |
9cjdxk | [Discussion] RWD Model 3 owners any regrets about not getting AWD? | I have the RWD currently and live in a state where weather conditions are phenomenal to not warrant the AWD and don t live near heavy terrains where the AWD would ve come in handy so I opted for the RWD. I absolutely love the car but after almost a month of using it I notice the areas where it would have be tremendously useful. For one when making sharp turns I encounter a bit of slippage that I think would be counteracted by another motor. It isn t significantly bad but is noticeable when making a quick turn at a moderate speed. Because it is such a fast car and you don t notice speed differences compared to an ICE at lower speeds it can throw you off if you re not completely aware. The other is the acceleration. Coming from a non-luxury 10 year older car the acceleration was the most surreal thing I ve ever experienced. I thought it would be a bit faster than my old car but on par with most of the luxury vehicles- boy was I surprised. That feeling is still there but I sometimes wonder how much of an improvement would have been made with an extra 0.6 seconds. Overall it s a car that I absolutely love but I wonder if an extra 5 000 would have been worth it since I had already gone that far for a standard RWD. Edit: After a lot of your considerations I decided to rethink my view and go on a fun cruise today. For those of you who do not regret it one bit I am on your side. | gattaca34 | 2018-09-03 07:12:41 | 27 | e5bcwgm | I rather have AWD but what helps me sleep at nights: If I waited I would have lost out on the $3500 tax incentive in WA state the unlimited (for foreseeable future) internet the extra $4k I would have spent on gas and the constant maintenance on the traded in car. So all that.... about $10k roughly. | penguinpetter | 2018-09-03 11:55:29 | 22 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |

RWD handling is superb I haven t noticed a wisp of the slippage you mentioned. I test drove a performance AWD and while the acceleration is even stronger and I was taken through some sharp turns to feel the handling and grip I have no need for any of that incremental improvement and did not miss it at all going back to my RWD. The handling and regen felt about the same and there is just no need for any more acceleration unless you race. Winter is coming but I have snow tires and chains. Teslas handle really well in the snow and I m not expecting to ever need to break out the chains. With chains on I can probably drive in just about anything even a mountain blizzard. And RWD gets better range on a more mature production line. What s not to like? | garbageemail222 | 2018-09-03 08:47:18 | 10 | Electric Performance Car Comparison |
