8d2o62 | common sense tips for safe Autopilot use | In light of the recent MX crash I am hoping we can rehash some of the personal tips on safe autopilot use in NO PARTICULAR ORDER! 1. If you are new to autopilot try it first on freeways do not use on narrow winding roads unless you are comfortable 2. Do not use it on construction zone it often gets confused by cones and cannot sometime clearly see the lane markings 3. Be very careful if it is following [blue color] a vehicle especially in narrow lanes 4. better to avoid lanes that can widen or narrow. i try to avoid right most or left most lanes 5. you will be amazed how reliable autopilot and peaceful your drive is if you go at a speed a notch below the rest of the traffic. 6. be vary of Hill crests especially with AP1 7. Autopilot reacts it doesn t anticipate. 8. Keep your hands on the wheel if it alerts you to hold the wheel dont panic just a gentle nudge in either direction on steering is enough to make the alert go away. again none of this comes as surprising for most experienced Tesla owners but I am hoping someone can pitch other thoughts that can make Autopiloting safer.. Above all I would say that if you have TESLA and you are not using Autopilot at all you are doing yourself a huge injustice if used properly it is much safer especially if you are multitasking EDIT: I am not doing a good job in compiling all the tips I think its better for folks to read through all the comments to understand the nuances.. | sameerb | 2018-04-18 03:35:55 | 44 | dxjtewq | And how about always pay attention because it can t detect potholes or road debris. Within literally 30 seconds of my EAP activating for the first time I had to take control to avoid a pot hole. I am convinced I would have hit it if I wasn t on EAP though because I was paying better attention on it. | triciann | 2018-04-18 03:39:21 | 9 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

Despite what the concern trolls keep saying there s a reason full self drive is an entirely different option that both costs even more on top of AP and does less. The only self drive Teslas actually have right now is Summon and it s limited to less than 5 miles per hour. | mark-five | 2018-04-18 03:45:33 | 7 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

The trick is to thoughtfully choose unambiguous lanes in advance and if possible get behind a pace car for slower patches like curves and toll booths. The OPs suggestion to avoid outside lanes is spot on: those tend to be the ones that ambiguously split or abruptly end—or subject Autopilot to tightly merging traffic. Autopilot can be a bit of an ass when someone is trying to squeeze in. The new scrolling speed adjustment and gap changer on Model 3 is priceless. Now whenever we drive my family plays What would confuse autopilot? . It s a good way to stay sharp on Autopilot s limitations by trying to spot things that might freak it out. | jpbeans | 2018-04-18 06:33:57 | 6 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

82px0n | configure invite | So it seems like Tesla has been doing invites every Wednesday. Anyone have any idea what time of the day they update their site to allow the next batch to configure? | Dswan3199 | 2018-03-07 17:15:02 | 16 | dvchy1l | I have a theory that they re going to skip this week (and potentially next week too) as they most likely only sent out that huge batch of non-owner invites to get as many cars out the door as possible before Q1 ends at the end of March. After that rush ends they re going to go back to refining the process until they can get the production line with the German equipment in action. Please take this as pure speculation tho just reading the tea leaves. | Nizratch | 2018-03-07 22:59:57 | 10 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

The vin tracking sites also are reporting a drop — but this could be from users not coming back to confim VINs deliveries. So yeah. We re just gonna have to wait. Personally I m deflated from waiting. I walk by 3 s every day now. I kind of wish I leased an S after the nose come refresh. | ChromeDome5 | 2018-03-07 17:22:18 | 6 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
6lgrgs | confused about the value of electric power vs. gas | So I was doing some calculations and was really surprised to find out that using electricity is better but not many times better than gas. Here are the assumptions: Gas cost: $2.5 gallon Gas mileage: 20 Miles gallon = 8 Miles $ Electricity cost: $0.2 kwh Electricity mileage: 335 Miles 100kwh or 3.35 Miles kwh = 16.75 miles $ Does this look right? I was a bit surprised going the electric route isn t many times better than gas. | achillezzz | 2017-07-05 20:32:43 | 27 | djtp4pl | Looks right. 20 cents per kWh is pretty expensive. The US national average is about 12 cents and in many places you can get overnight rates much lower than that. | mikeash | 2017-07-05 20:40:47 | 26 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

You ve found that it s half the price to drive something with essentially no tradeoffs. It s not like Teslas are 2 seaters with no cargo space. There s obviously a bottom threshold for moving thousands of pounds of metal and modern conveniences 75 MPH down the highway. I have no idea how fair your numbers are one way or the other but I d say twice as good is pretty damn good. | vita10gy | 2017-07-05 20:47:08 | 17 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

But my car does a way better than 20 miles gallon. And then my electricity cost is $0.08 kWh - actually lower since I have solar. But at the end of the day your numbers are in the ballpark except that your electricity price is nearly double of national average. | Eloquent_Cantaloupe | 2017-07-05 21:17:11 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
eq2b2v | consistent one pedal driving | It would be nice to have the brakes automatically apply to make up for the lack of regeneration when cold so you always have a consistent feel for one pedal driving until the battery warms up. Some cold mornings I lift my foot off the accelerator and expect the car to slow down and I m surprised when it doesn t. At least having this as an option would be nice. | crujones43 | 2020-01-17 16:04:59 | 160 | fen9f9u | It could be an option for sure. It would go to solving one of the issues with driving a Tesla which is that you shouldn t need to give a person who has driven cars their whole lives a master s course in Tesla quirks to let them behind the wheel. (Hold mode has cured a lot of them thankfully) The knee jerk reaction on this sub is to pretending they re all meaningless or can just take 2 seconds to check or just gotten used to but they can also just be worked around. Some people just buy a car. They don t learn every little thing about it and don t do a 50 point safety check every time they get in. Eventually someone somewhere will jump in their car think nothing of the fact that it got cold enough one time in 4 years in South Carolina the night they happened to park in the driveway and get in an accident when the car behaves differently approaching an intersection than the last 398348 intersections causing the driver to panic. | vita10gy | 2020-01-17 16:50:47 | 36 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

It was -30C yesterday here. When I left my garage in the morning the car had full regen braking. When I left work 8 hours later I had 0 regen even after 40 minutes of pre-heating. Which means when I took my foot off the accelerator the vehicle coasts like its in neutral. This is drastically different than my morning drive. If I was not paying attention or was inexperienced I could rear end somebody or run a light assuming the vehicle would perform the same as earlier in the day stopping under regen. I actually think it would be beneficial to have some mechanical brakes to be lightly applied to recreate the effect of regen braking. Also its really dangerous to not have regen (when you are use to it) in stop and go traffic. Since the vehicle coasts much longer and more freely than an ICE vehicle I find I have to quickly switch between accelerator and brake much more quickly to stop. To compare it to a gas vehicle its like throwing it in neutral there is no back pressure from the engine it just goes until friction slows it down. | jordanloewen | 2020-01-17 18:42:25 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

At least having this as an option would be nice. | crujones43 | 2020-01-17 16:04:59 | 160 | fenj61x | All in on this suggestion. First off regen is indeed very random in the cold. While it may show half of regen available it only applies 1 4 on some stops or maybe a up to a half for highway stops but only briefly applies it. Over a 20 minute commute this experience subtley changes as the battery warms up and it s very hard to predict. Maybe more driver feedback could solve this but it s difficult to gauge what is going on and why. Second off for the complaints about braking performance in a mixed method while in icey conditions you can simply mimic the normal regen behavior. While at full regen if you take your foot off the pedal in slippery conditions the car noticeably tapers deceleration as traction control engages. This performance is different from braking in the same conditions and mixed braking setup would only engage the brakes slightly unless the driver brakes themselves. Third of all they could implement this setting with a single switch so users can opt-in to this behavior. It wouldn t change anything for the majority of drivers but it will allow those of us who frequently have cold-soaked batteries to have more predictable driving behavior. I invite any in the Midwest to plug into a 120v outlet this Friday and try driving a 20 minute errand on Saturday if their experience doesn t match mine. :) | Ph0ton | 2020-01-17 18:30:24 | 14 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I love one pedal driving and I think actual brakes should be manual (except auto emergency braking of course). You should get used to checking regen levels before you drive. Takes one second of your time and it s something you should be doing anyway. | zeek215 | 2020-01-17 16:21:54 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

That means knowing with hyper accuracy (I ve read that these will be down to a centimeter or so but let s say within 6 inches to be conservative) where everything is on the road (lane lines dashes between lanes exits etc.). That s because the way computers drive safely and accurately is *partially* based on real-time vision but also partially based on having a hyper-accurate map of where everything is located. Vision is still essential since the road changes e.g. that pothole that used to be 15 across just grew to 16 across. But it s not only vision it s also memory. We tend to humanize semi-autonomous driving. But *IF* you drove the same route every single day and *IF* you could remember every lane line and every pothole then you could drive more accurately and safely. That s where we are headed. So I doubt Tesla will compete with Google Maps but they will almost certainly build (for their autonomy program) hyper-accurate maps of every roadway. Every autonomy company will have to do the same. That s one of the ways in the future autonomous vehicles will drive better & safer than humans. | sp100d | 2018-10-07 22:27:32 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

The rental has no garage and no option to install an outdoor outlet. However about 10 miles away is a chademo charger (which I have an adapter and an account for). My work schedule is erratic and consists of about two or three meetings a week all in different locations but none over 40 miles away. The rest of the time I m at home in the rental. I m thinking that my plan should be to charge the car to 100% every time the car gets to below 100 miles in range. The rest of the time leave it unplugged in front of the home. Could you please provide feedback on this approach? Any alternative ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks | Teslas_r_fun | 2016-10-02 18:09:47 | 15 | d8b2qj1 | Charging to 100% takes longer and degrades the battery faster than to 90%. Best would really be a outlet and charge it over night. | g-ff | 2016-10-02 18:42:44 | 7 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
cgqkdl | current model 3 delivery time estimate? | I am looking to pick mine up (LR AWD white on white 19 ) in mid August after I return to the US. Website so far says 2-3 weeks should I order now (that d make it 4 weeks) so it gives the SC a leeway. The reason I asked is that apparently if you don t pick up the car after a certain amount of time your name gets detached from the car and you d have to reorder and I don t want that. I also don t want to order too late that I won t be able to pick up the car the day I want (I have no car now and have planned a big road trip). And did the delivery specialist send you an email or call you on the phone to schedule for delivery? I would still be out of the country until the day of delivery wondering how they would get hold of me. *P.S planning to take delivery in CA Marina Del Ray* | bigblackshaq | 2019-07-23 09:52:52 | 11 | eul3cx2 | If you miss delivery it causes a massive headache and your car could possibly be ready same day so I wouldn t order until you can pick up. Alternatively you can call your delivery center for models that are in inventory and pick one up ASAP. You ll likely find something very close to what you want. | tp1996 | 2019-07-23 15:41:11 | 5 | Tesla Delivery Woes |
e33o35 | cybertruck and dogs riding in the bed | Before anyone brings out their internet pitchfork with animal cruelty! you re a monster! I am genuinely just asking and speculating myself on whether this would be a nice way for a dog to ride and convenient for owners. Seeing if there are others with opinions. We have 3 kids and a big husky. We often commute over a long high speed highway so open pick up trucks are not ideal for dogs. But with the Cybertruck I m now wondering if the side rails along with the tonneau cover being closed now make this ideal for dogs. Thanks to the triangle design it looks like there is a lot of space back there. I guess this depends on a couple things. Top things that come to mind: 1. air circulation 2. open space with the cover closed I know in many places it s illegal to have a dog ride in the bed of a pickup so there s that issue too. Anyone have any thoughts? | lundjordan | 2019-11-28 20:21:45 | 27 | f90nuws | I really want to request the feature for a back window that rolls down for bed access. If you could then you could keep vault closed and have back window rolled down for dog to basically be in cab and have air circulation. | TeslaReferral | 2019-11-28 21:01:21 | 18 | Revolutionary Tesla Cybertruck |

It doesn t provide a video feed. And the rear camera is tied directly to the center screen. IIRC it does not talk to the car s network and therefore we can t intercept and mess with that data. Long story short: Dashcam functions would require fundamental changes to the network inside the car. That s why I don t think this is going to happen. Plus that whole Gathering evidence against yourself problem I ve mentioned before. | majesticjg | 2016-04-25 14:57:15 | 6 | Tesla Sentry Mode Setup |
5xz9yy | dearth of news while stock holding up at $250 something s brewing... | After the anticlimactic Q4 results it seems Tesla is clamming up on announcements and upcoming features. Even the rumor mill is running idle. Like they were trying to anti-sell their stock the same way as Model 3. Yet it holds up nicely and is creating a support near $250. Is Elon just staying underground with his new boring machine or is some momentous announcement due soon? HUD maybe? | titus65 | 2017-03-07 08:28:15 | 19 | demc3a2 | > trying to anti-sell their stock Just stop. Please.

Personally I m hoping for a small update to the S hopefully a little before the final options and specs on the 3 are revealed that will spark some extra demand for the S. Nothing major but maybe some new interior options or a slight tail light refresh move to diffused LEDs. I m itching to order an S but feel like there s a risk to ordering now of missing out on some kind of new update or new option. I know there will always be something new just around the corner but I still feel like that corner isn t too far away currently. My current excuse for not ordering is that I want black leather but I m not fond of the figured ash trim or the carbon fiber which are the only current options for the black leather seats. | Gforce1 | 2017-03-07 10:43:49 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

byemlf | delivery experience difference between 4 20 and 6 8 2019 | These cars are selling like hotcakes right now. Incredible. & #x200B This is for the Marina Del Rey location in Los Angeles. When I picked up my M3P on 4 20 2019 I mentioned on the phone that I would be taking an uber there and the advisor sent me a text link for a free uber ride on Mr. Elon. When I arrived at 9am (Saturday) there were about 4 other customers picking up their vehicles. My delivery specialist walked me to my car and spent about 20 minutes explaining everything and also took the car back in to get a software update (LTE seemed to be down) and to clean up a couple of dirty spots that he noticed. & #x200B Fast forward to today 6 8 (Saturday). I drove my mother-in-law in to pick up her SR+. The parking lot was packed. There were people outside getting into their new M3s and driving off. Inside it was also packed. After signing they set up a video powerpoint orientation presentation for about a dozen or so new owners. It was brief kind of reminded me of one of those Thrill Ride orientation videos in Disney s California Adventure. It was a 10 minute presentation with a very lively and charismatic guy who also encouraged people to skip his presentation and go ahead and find their car on the lot. Afterward everyone was told to get out there connect to their car via their phone app and press the horn button so they could find out which car was theirs (a hilarious contrast to when I picked my car up and the specialist showed me the horn button on the app but said not to push it right then). I left my wife and mother-in-law there after checking out the new car and seeing if there were any flaws. It was beautiful. & #x200B We noticed that at the end of the presentation there were already a good half dozen new car owners inside signing for their new Teslas meaning there d be another video presentation coming soon. Crazy. | threatdisplay | 2019-06-09 00:38:39 | 69 | eqh0fjj | Thank you for sharing. When I took away from this experience is that while Tesla still struggles with customer service and a luxury experience in their stores in service centers because there is incredible demand. The demand is there though and Tesla is doing everything they can to match it and is still struggling to keep up with it and that bodes well for our future. | montypython85 | 2019-06-09 02:10:27 | 21 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

I picked up my car on July 18th 2018 and it was the most chill experience ever. I think we were at Marina Del Rey for like 2 hours inspecting the car playing with the controls shooting the shit with the delivery guy and driving around the block with my dad. Fast forward to September 30th and I m back at Marina Del Rey to volunteer my time as a delivery helper. Elon had floated the idea on twitter and LOADS of Tesla owners stepped up to volunteer their time to help sell cars as the quarter ended. It was not nearly as organized as what you described but it was still hectic and fast-paced. I m glad to see that Marina Del Rey Delivery Center has improved so much since I was last there. :) | coredumperror | 2019-06-09 06:25:32 | 6 | Tesla Delivery Woes |

Especially in businesses that deal with the public people are very quick to complain about situations in which they feel they were wronged (many rightfully so) but often don t give positive feedback. That s why I try to. I recommend you email the Service Manager and the Store Manager with something similar to what you wrote above. You may even want to include a line that requests that Alex receive some type of recognition. You may (or may not) be surprised at how much good a positive and thankful note like this can do in the mind of the people who receive it. | TheNewJasonBourne | 2017-08-24 13:04:48 | 6 | Tesla ownership feedback and issues |

I told the SC the problems I was having with it and they wanted to know the specific date and time of each event to search the logs for error messages. I obviously did not keep a journal documenting each event. They said I did not qualify for the eMMC repair because I could not give them this information.

Thanks in advance | flr7 | 2016-12-27 13:51:30 | 30 | dboia3t | as i understtod it it s a tradeoff. BLDC (brushless-DC) motors have a higher peak effiency and the system is easier to control and regulate (so the control software is less complex) but the effiency goes down as you reduce load torque. another disadvantage is that permanentmagnets are relativly expensive and hard to handle mechanically Asynchronus motors on the other hand need more complex control software and have less peak effiency but are more efficient when not operated at optimal loads because you can trade magnetic loss and electric losses. so if you operate your motor mainly at max power than an BLDC is your way to go but if you are driving often with only 10% of the needed power then you d probably go with and asychronous motor. also the higher development costs for the more complex control software are less of a factor if you poduce high quantities of your product. also a BLDC is more suited for low power application where as the asynchronous motor is more optimal for high power applicaiton because you can trade off some some losses that don t scale linear for others that do. | jak0b345 | 2016-12-27 15:52:33 | 15 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

6kwbt3 | fanboy for years - on fire for days | Hi r teslamotors I am reading and following a lot there is about Tesla and Elon in general since the first Model S became available. I am so convinced that this company has started the future that I discuss electric mobility whenever I can using Tesla as an example of how it should be done. I also admit that I always shout out the name of the company whenever I see one of the cars and that I once or twice pressed my nose on the windows of a Tesla store. Until last week... I decided to use my holidays to visit a good friend living in Norway halfway between Oslo and Trondheim with a two day stay over in Oslo. So some weeks ago I booked a flight rented a room in Oslo and... Needed a car to drive up to the friend... Some research revealed a page where you can rent cars from private owners. Great because it could be cheaper and you can find a special car... Wait a second... Maybe... No... No one would... And so the giggling like a little girl began. I found dozens of Teslas to rent. S X 90s 85s with P with D you name it. I just had to choose one. And I did: a dark 2015 Model S 90D with ALL the extras for a great price. So last Saturday I flew up to Oslo and had two great days in in the city. And let me tell you... The amount of Teslas and electric vehicles in general is amazing. Oslo seems to be a test area for e-mobility. Electric cars can use bus lanes can be charged everywhere (I am not sure but I think it s even free) and as I found out are hugely (not bigly) subsidized by the state. And so the giggling continued. And then came Monday. The day I would get the car... No. A glimpse into the future. Communication with the owner was flawless and so I got the fob at 10 am and the giggling was replaced by tears of joy. First tentative touches on the huge screen of James and going through each and every setting while selecting all the unnecessary options I read so much about. Then the charging cable into the frunk the destination into the navigation system right foot on the braking paddle D on the gear selection and of I went on a 950 km test drive through the beautiful rural landscape of Norway. It was an awesome experience. Of course there are some things that show that this is a relatively young company. Like the loose buttons on the steering wheel some details at the doors that don t fit the placement of storage possibilities and some things in the navigation software and radio that could be better. But there are these other things that show that this is a relatively young company. Like the amazing thing that should not be called autopilot and changes lane on the highway. Or the regeneration of break energy. Or even the humongous display in the center console. All in all this has been a great experience and an even better trip. Unfortunately I will not be able to buy an S or even an X within the next years. But I hope for the 3 and I hope that I will be able to rent an S or an X for one of my next holidays. Not as easy in Germany as it is in Norway. Write a comment if you are interested in some pictures or details of the trip. Or reply with your experience from the first time you were driving a Tesla. All the best me | memamu | 2017-07-02 23:16:47 | 37 | djpcptm | Now you ve done it. You ve infected yourself with the virus. As best I can tell if you drive one longer than 24 hrs you only have roughly one month before you re buying one when you never intended to... see my flair -) | daringone | 2017-07-03 00:26:55 | 6 | Tesla Model 3 Review |
7oq7gh | first time car buyer best option to pay for model 3 | If I am a first time car buyer and I have saved enough to buy a model 3 upfront what would be the best way to finance pay for the tesla that leaves wiggle room rather than just paying for everything upfront? | someaverageperson | 2018-01-07 11:53:36 | 23 | dsbsk0o | Depends on your finance rate ultimately vs whatever you think your investments will earn. In my case it was a no brainer to put down ~20% and finance the rest at 0.99%. The rest went into an S& P500 index fund. Even under a nuclear scenario of drastically losing investment money and my job I still paid enough down to be able to sell the car and get out from under the loan payment without being under. I think that s the right approach in your case too. You will also improve your credit by carrying a loan if this is your first car loan. I see zero benefit to paying for the car outright. Unless you have poor financial discipline (i.e. lots of folks will end up spending the invested money on pottery barn gadgets or vacations) or if you have a lot of risk around continuing to earn an income. If on the otherhand you have upside to earning more income the decision is even easier. | yrrkoon | 2018-01-07 17:59:45 | 19 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Where if you took a loan the cash is freed up to invest in other things. I m so glad I didn t use my cash in 2016 for our Model S. They had 1.49% financing at the time. Even my S& P 500 index fund returned over 20% and my bitcoin ethereum exploded in valuation in 2017 making the car free. | ThaiTum | 2018-01-07 15:05:50 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

It s too much stress to buy on credit with the plan of investing the money to make some kind of return that theoretically will put you ahead. That is way too much to manage. I m not saying to not invest just don t fool yourself into micro investing where you invest a specific pot of money that was earmarked for a specific purchase. Buy your car with cash. Invest what s left over and make your next purchase when you have the money for it. Your life will be much less stressful not having to *hope* that your investments will grow to cover deficit spending. There is no better feeling than actually owning your assets outright. I bought my first home with cash. If the market crashes and wipes out my savings at least I have a place to live and don t have to worry about making mortgage payments every month. | OompaOrangeFace | 2018-01-07 16:00:48 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I decided to put 1 3 down and finance 2 3. Doing this means you should never be underwater on the car and can probably ignore Gap insurance. With the extra money make sure you have an emergency fund ( ideally 6 months) and invest or save the rest. I made extra payments and paid off the 5 year loan in about 3 years. | chriskmee | 2018-01-07 22:52:06 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
2faoj1 | for those that stretched to buy a Tesla: was it worth it? | I m not talking about the people that would ve normally been in the market for a 7 series BMW. I m referring to the people that normally would be going for 50k cars that busted the budget so to speak to get a Tesla. By just browsing around I ve read about plenty of sub 100k income people buying one and was curious how that has played out for anyone here in that category. | ImTheDerek | 2014-09-02 21:26:24 | 69 | ck7hb6w | I think the universal answer is going to be yes but that is just a guess. With the new unlimited mile warranty I think in the long run it is going to be cheaper to own and hold its value much better than any other car you could buy unless it was something exceptionally rare. But keep in mind it only extends to the 85Kwh version to my knowledge. | Maggioman | 2014-09-02 22:26:08 | 11 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

I have delivery in Oct but this is quite the stretch for me (financing hasn t been approved yet). I got an S60 with tech package pano roof dual chargers green fog lights parking sensors paint armor. Total price is roughly $83K. With 10% down + paying taxes rate of 1.99-2.99% I m looking at monthly payments around ~$1200 + whatever GAP insurance costs ($300-$400 a year supposedly). Keep in mind the other costs: insurance $1 000-$2 200 depending on lots of factors bundling age drive history etc. Installation of 14-50 of HPWC anywhere from $200-$1000+ depending on how long you need to run the wire and if you need to upgrade your box. Opti-Coat waxing is a few hundred a year a clear bra cover will be $1000+ (I got the paint armor option). I ll be doing everything in my power to get financing approved come October. I m a bit nervous because I bought all previous cars with cash so I have no auto loan history on credit. Credit score is good (730+) but no auto loan history + student loans still makes me nervous. Hopefully my credit union is reasonable and will get me some sort of deal. I m also nervous that I should have just taken the most basic options for a $70K car - but I feel I would regret it down the road. I don t think this car should come without the Tech Package or Supercharging at a bare minimum... which raises the base level price to $76K+. From there I got dual chargers to future-proof the car and then the Pano and fog lights parking sensors added on really just turned into another (maybe) $50-$100 on monthly payments when spread out. Plus the wife really wanted the Pano roof - and the wife gets what she wants lol. Hit me up with any other questions concerns.

Both of which I considered to be expensive cars. The Prius had the solar moon roof and the Leaf has the 360 degree backup camera and Bose stereo system. A lot of my friends have Porsches or Audis or Range Rovers or Mercedes AMGs. I personally wouldn t purchase a depreciating asset if I couldn t afford it. And in fact that s one reason I wound up with a Roadster instead of a Model S. The Roadster is probably not a depreciating asset. At least not until I get run over in it one day. ____________________________ edit: fixed typo. | stevejust | 2014-09-02 22:47:28 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

Not even close. But I m very passionate about this car and this company as everyone else on this forum is. The way I approached it was the following: 1) First of all don t try to rationalize the purchase. It is always foolish to spend this much on a depreciating asset. I have known people who are impulse spenders who find ways to rationalize every big purchase that is not where I am at. I could give twenty reasons why I want this car why I will enjoy this car etc but it just doesn t make sense on paper to buy a vehicle at this price point. But we don t really live our lives on paper either. 2) I sat down and looked at what I will save on gas and maintenance as compared to my current vehicle. The Tesla website s calculated savings will compare it to a gas guzzler buying premium gas. I am coming from a hybrid and only spend about $80 month on gas. I ll probably only spend $30 month charging the Tesla at home. Most of that will be negated by the fact that my insurance premiums will go up. So it s kind of a wash. Also my current vehicle only needs to get serviced three times a year and while Tesla is only once a year it costs a lot for annual service ($600) so this is also a wash. May even spend more on once a year Tesla service. 3) Fortunately right now the used car market is pretty strong so my 6.5 year old vehicle will be sold for a decent amount of money. That combined with the tax credit will take about $20K off the total price of the vehicle. 4) Even if I weren t buying a Tesla I would still be on the market for a new vehicle probably in the $40-$50K range. So this combined with #3 puts the extra money I m spending to get the Tesla in the $30K range. Which is a number I can live with given how long I will likely keep this car. 5) Ultimately I knew if I were to buy anything else but a Tesla I would be incredibly disappointed from day one and feel like I cheated myself. I had planned to buy my Tesla in January of this year. Took me an extra eight months to reach a point where I had the kind of down payment I felt comfortable with. Even then it took a nudge from my wife to finally place my order. | tturedditor | 2014-09-03 15:38:40 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

And in the past I ve owned three Mercedes and a Porsche. The Model S it worth it in every respect. Without question the best car I ve ever driven much less owned. We have zero regrets. I feel privileged to be an owner. Over time the money you aren t spending on gas and maintenance will add up to a hefty savings. Along with the tax breaks you ll save close to 30 000 over the life of the car. | bobhodgen | 2014-09-03 00:19:12 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

(Outside of not having the patients to wait 2 more years for the Model X) factor in a ~10% electricity increase if you plan to charge at home as your primary charging source. Worst case you can sell it on the open market and get most of your investment back if you don t fall in love with it. There are frequent buyers on the Tesla motors club website. | NotawittyUN | 2014-09-03 00:06:24 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

96a9su | got my ride today + delivery exp | Finally picked up my LR RWD today at the tempe az facility. Got there 15 mins early to tried and find my car but they already had it in the delivery room. The lighting could of been better in there it was a bit dark. Tried to look for defects that people here had mentioned paint issue hood not aligned etc ... Started asking about my EAP and FSD features and found out that EAP isn t in my car. She said she will have the service center push it to me by EOD. Lucky I asked otherwise I would of been in the same situation as u tehzullo who drove over 600 miles before noticing it. My wife did find some scratches on the hard case behind the back of the driver and passenger seat. Rep said they will schedule mobile service to come and fix it. Overall the experience was pleasant. On the drive home at about 50+ miles an hour that s when I noticed the car was pulling right. Checked the PSI on the tires and the driver side was at 50 while the others were at 48. I m hoping that by balancing out the PSI the pulling will go away. Another thing I noticed is the wind noise. I read on here that a lot of people experience this and I was really bummed that my car got this defect. Those that had this same issue did tesla fix it or basically SOL? car came with update 24.11. updated it moments ago and got 28.1 not 28.2. | Red8Rain | 2018-08-10 19:56:25 | 14 | e3yxfpp | I doubt 2 psi would cause pulling.

k5s46b | hi! we re going to buy a tesla but i have a concern on range that i cannot find anything other than anecdotal mentions about | so we need an SUV. i honestly never considered a Tesla until I saw the Model Y and its more reasonable price point. While its still more expensive that I want to spend on a vehicle - it evens out in the long run with lower maintenance and fuel costs. (we were previously considering either another Jeep Grand Cherokee or similar - replacing a 2017 Dodge Durango) my primary concern is about range. If when we take trips... its going to be with a car full of adults and i don t know what to expect on range. i understand that 326 miles on the long range version (what we would get) is under really optimal conditions - but cant really find any hard examples of what to expect for decreased range with all the extra weight in the vehicle. thanks! | Microdoted | 2020-12-03 06:35:35 | 16 | gegtm2e | The solution to your doubts range anxiety is called A Better Route Planner or ABRP. * On its website and in their app (both free) select the type of car you will buy. * Then tinker with battery charging settings: how full will you depart (100% SoC) how low when you want to charge (20%) how low do you want to arrive (depends. charger there = 10-20% no charger = more) * how low speed temperature wind dry wet roads weight and so on. Then plan a route from A to B and you ll see what the optimal driving & charging strategy will be = where to charge and for how long (if at all). Upfront: Yes trips beyond the range take longer. Yes rest of the year charging saves time. Spoiler: weight is a marginal factor. Low temperature & speed are 90% of the problems . & #x200B Forget EPA range. It s only to compare EVs not about usable range. It s a 100% to 0% relatively slow driving cycle on flat roads with a nice temperature. Don t run your battery to 0 that will harm it (and pushing it to a charger...) EPA range is where calculations start...... * EPA vs. highway driving = -10% range * Degradation (battery wear) = -3% range * Usable range trip 1st leg = 100% to 20% = 80% of the battery available * Usable range trip next legs (charge 80% to 100% takes too long) = 80% to 20% = 60% of the battery range * Cold weather = - 20 to - 30% This means: on a bad day you have 50% of the EPA range. Realistic highway range MY LR in nice weather: * 100% -> 20% SoC at 70mph = 215 miles * 80% -> 20% SoC at 70mph = 160 miles So a 300+ mile trip will require 1 stop to charge which is NOT a big deal as there are SuperChargers everywhere. | ZetaPower | 2020-12-03 07:41:06 | 38 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

You can set the extra weight and it ll take that into account. Especially play with the maximum speed and you ll see that you can get very long range if you limit your speed. I found this very accurate in practise if slightly on the safe (conservative) side. | woek | 2020-12-03 07:55:13 | 12 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
il12cn | howdy everyone. sentry mode seems to go off every minute or two all night long | My sentry mode seems to go off by itself every night literally every minute on the minute with nothing appearing on the videos. anyone know some info on that? i would really appreciate it lol 167 alerts every night is quite time consuming deleting those sucker every single day. I m wondering if maybe it s a bug in the cpu or even a legitimate bug! Much appreciated!! | mccigarette | 2020-09-02 05:38:12 | 13 | g3os6r9 | Where are you parked? Any lights on in or near the area?

It s an app that people can run on their home machines or their private servers. It connects to the Tesla API and can do well anything. It also presents its own Tesla API with authentication. This would allow you to be the guard of your information. You d NEVER have to give out your Tesla Username and Password to anyone you could just give them an API key that ONLY works for their site and ONLY gives them access to the things you configure. Maybe you want to give a site access to lock and unlock doors honk horn things like that but you do NOT want them to see where the car is. Easy enough just generate an API key for that site set its permissions and you re set. One thing is you d have to get buy-in from other Tesla site owners. You d present your restricted API in the exact same fashion as the Tesla does so other app owners who want to allow private integration like this would simply have to give users an option to override going directly to the Tesla website and to a new server instead. I imagine this would be pretty easy to get it s a really easy change and I would imagine any legit tesla app would be THRILLED not to have to worry about that sort of personal information in their hands. Anyways I d thought about writing something like this but haven t had the time to really get started yet. It would of course need to be open source. And it s not really an iOS app you d probably write it in Python or .NET or Node or something. I d absolutely contribute. | SSChicken | 2018-09-29 01:36:37 | 7 | Tesla companion app features |
c0zbfy | i made a mistake | I test drove (and took home overnight) a Model 3. I don t have a car at the moment because I live in Chicago and I don t necessarily need one. However I will graduate grad school soon and will be accepting a job in a chicago suburb about 30 miles from where I live. As a treat to passing a part of my licensing exam I test drive a Model 3. The acceleration is incredible. The design that went into the car is phenomenal. The autopilot is everything I ever wanted in a car. Needless to say I don t think I can ever go back to an ICE vehicle.

9haq2h | iOS 12 + Siri Shortcuts + Remote S app allows you to start climate and pop trunk with Siri. | The Remote S app was updated yesterday to support iOS 12 and Siri Shortcut commands. It even works with the Apple Watch! The list of supported actions for Siri Shortcuts are: * Start Climate Control * Stop Climate Control * Activate Trunk * Activate Frunk * Enable Keyless Start I was excited to be able to pop the trunk with a Siri voice command on my watch but it asks to confirm the trunk pop before it ll do it. It s an additional annoying step you have to wait for and basically negates the convenience I was looking for walking to my car and sending one quick command to my wrist. It IS nice however to be able to tell Siri to start the climate control or integrate starting the climate system with other more complex Shortcuts automations. | humanwire | 2018-09-20 00:42:04 | 91 | e6alwkl | Also works on AppleWatch. One step closer to K.I.T.T. | action314 | 2018-09-20 02:11:37 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

8ossnp | iOS 12 Model 3 | Anyone know if the Model 3 key still works with iOS 12 Beta 1. Thanks! | alexdotcom | 2018-06-05 17:37:07 | 28 | e05zd7b | would be really cool if the Siri shortcuts are working. Cool Heat car \-\> Summon the car outside \(I know not available to on the Model 3 yet\) but do all that in one single voice command instead of having to open the app each time will be neat | apu823 | 2018-06-05 19:13:14 | 9 | Tesla phone key functionality |

hud5hw | iOS 14 and Tesla | Has anyone found out how to use car keys or the ev charging planner with iOS 14? Every time I try and google a guide or literally any information on how to use these features it s just the same copy pasted article on 500 different websites of the announcement. I ve updated to the public beta for iOS 14 and no amount of searching in the settings or any app gives me any info on how to use these features. Help pls | BobertRosserton | 2020-07-20 02:22:43 | 15 | fymcvcj | Out of curiosity why do you want Apple keys over Tesla using your iPhone? I would think the Tesla interface is more smooth since it s directly thru their app. | N8Howell33 | 2020-07-20 02:33:49 | 13 | Tesla companion app features |
ivvceq | iOS 14 and nomad wireless charger | Anyone else notice after updating to iOS 14 the Tesla nomad charger doesn t seem to work? The charge light turns from amber to white after a few minutes which means it isn t charging. I have another iPhone that hasn t been updated which still works | Threeaway411 | 2020-09-19 16:08:53 | 31 | g5tx7j3 | Yes I just noticed this yesterday! Couldn t tell if the amber to white was a false positive but the phone was still receiving a charge though. Interestingly enough when I put my phone in the right charger the light on the right stayed Amber. | Abomb1997 | 2020-09-19 16:28:07 | 5 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |
e6l1ch | iOS Key issues. Won t unlock unless phone is awake. First time issue in well over a year of ownership | *update: I reached out to apple and they ran remote diagnostics and said there was sort of issue. They had be backup my phone and restore it. It looks like it fixed the issue. It has only been a few hours and a few drives since the restore so we ll see if it continues to work Alright So within the last 1-2 weeks I ve started having an issue where my car won t unlock unless I wake up my iPhone 11 Pro. I m still trying to narrow down if this is an iPhone issue or a Tesla issue because as far as I can tell my wife hasn t had any issues with her iPhone XS. So it almost seems like it s an issue with my phone but I m still trying to do some testing to know for sure. I have checked all my settings. Location is always allowed bluetooth is allowed zero settings have been changed on my phone. It seems to coincide with an update to the vehicle a week ago. In the last year and half of ownership my phone key has worked 99% of the time without any issues and as soon as I go to open the car. I m specifically looking for feedback from other iOS users to know if anyone else has noticed this issue arise recently after no issues previously. Any thoughts on what this could have changed? iOS 13.2.3 Tesla: 36.2.3 | helivatefilms | 2019-12-05 18:10:48 | 53 | f9r84re | Also seeing this! 11 Pro. | NVDub19 | 2019-12-05 19:03:36 | 16 | Tesla phone key functionality |
