I never noticed this before in lower power but today I heard it even over the radio. The noise (a high pitch consanct beep) is lower when demanding less power. Especially when driving about 80 kmh (about 50 mph) it s really noticeble and the noise is in a higher pitch but still noticeble when driving a constanct highway speed (100 kmh 60 mph) in my country. When demanding higher power the noise goes away (or maybe just to high to hear) and also when not demanding any power at all. Have other people had this before. I know for sure that this is a new noise that I have not had before. Is this depended on temperature or other factors? Is this something worth scheduling a appointment for? | 2020-10-30 16:17:55 | 3 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 25,866 |
The M3P deserves better seats | Got to try the M3P on a track yesterday and while it was a lot of fun the seats leaves a bit to be desired. They need more bolstering lateral support and more adjustments in order to make me feel comfortable during track driving. Ideally I d just steal the seats from the Civic Type R and shove them in the Tesla and call it the day. Would love some red seat belts too haha Would love for the Model 3 to have more performance oriented options besides slightly better brakes firmer suspension and software tweaks. | 2020-07-18 20:42:13 | 20 | So... buy them then? | 2020-07-18 20:50:14 | 27 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 20,669 |
With the new NoA turn-by-turn sounds like the car is talking to itself. | It s kind of amusing realizing the car is giving voice navigation instructions to itself. So I was thinking it would be really cool if eventually they change the navigation voice to say “taking Exit 3 on the right” instead of “take Exit 3 on the right ” for example. Subtle reminder of the steps being made towards FSD and also makes it apparent to your passengers that the car is doing these things without driver input. What do you guys think? | 2019-04-07 03:24:40 | 199 | Can I get a third-person perspective narrative for NoA? & #x200B * The Tesla notices it needs to be in the right lane to take the exit for 405 North.

Talk me into out of it. (M3) | Edit:More to follow but I m picking it up tomorrow (Monday Sept 30). So first of all I ve been looking at all the Teslas since they came out. I always thought they were the only good looking electric (seriously...why aren t more companies making electric cars that actually look good?). Anyway... I saw a guy in his M3 in a Sam s parking lot I waved through the window and asked if I could check it out. Hop in! The wife and I went for a short drive and he showed off a lot of the features on the 15 screen. Part of me was hoping I d hate it. Spoiler: I didn t. We have a VW Atlas we use for shopping (larger items) and road trips since we have a kid and dog we go with. The M3 wouldn t be used for that kind of thing. It d be more a daily driver for me and also shopping going out around town where we didn t need any bulk items. I drive a 2013 Mercedes C250 Sport. It honestly runs fine but it s pretty uncomfortable for me. I m 6 and if I sit up straight my head will rest on the ceiling. I had plenty of room in that M3 even in the back seat. Also I feel every bump in the C250. There are zero driver assist options. It s pretty fatiguing. It also takes 93 so if I work 4 days I m below half a tank and a fill-up is about $40. Additionally it alternates between annual A and B maintenance checks. One year I pay about $180 the next is a hair under $300. Commute is 30 miles each way. Half is 45-55mph with probably 10 stop lights. The other half is interstate. My schedule shifts quite a bit so sometimes the interstate is easy and sometimes it s 5pm on a Wednesday kind of thing (suck). Other times it may be 2:30am that I m going home (hold that thought). The C250 is paid off. I d try and sell private party. Why the M3? I d opt for the base config by the way. I can t really justify another $8k for the LR. Anyway: 1) I m between $100-160 a month in gas on the MB. 2) M3 was far more comfortable. 3) Up above where I said to hold that thought....on those nights when I come home late it d be nice to have a little driver assist help safety. 4) That 5pm stop-and-go becomes more bearable. 5) Maybe I wouldn t mind the commute so much! I should have mentioned that the 30 mile commute is 45 minutes if everything goes right. If there s any traffic or a wreck it becomes 60-90 minutes. 6) I love the idea of remotely setting my climate as I m about to leave to from work so that it s not 7 million degrees in the car. 7) I mean.....it s freaking cool. What am I missing? I live in the Southeast so snow isn t an issue here. | 2019-09-25 09:28:49 | 25 | You re missing a Tesla. Go buy it! & #x200B My father the most cautious and critical man alive took my Model S out for a spin. He was driving a Toyota Rav4 at the time. He thought me spending that much money on a car was dumb. And at that an electrical one. All the time I would lose charging just waiting. & #x200B Then he drove mine. He was blown away by all the tech and possibilities. The speed and raw power the awd the range. Everything. Three months later he just showed up on my doorstep... In his new Model 3. Now he is baffled people can drive anything else. Why would people want to drive something else?!? This is the future! I think they were as blind as I was. My father the man with the everlasting critical expression is now a man with the everlasting smile of driving a Tesla. | 2019-09-25 09:35:28 | 64 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 18,211 |
Model 3 Long Range RWD (Europe) | I ve ordered a Model 3 LR RWD on April 15th but information from Tesla are very limited. I m curious to how much information people are given in other countries (I m in Denmark). I have only been told an approximate price (\~44.000€ before VAT). I ve heard delivery estimates that range from beginning of may to end of June and perhaps even longer. The ordering process consisted of me ordering a LR AWD and confirming by email that I want to change to RWD. Tesla has confirmed this email the same day I ordered and their say it is noted in the system. Currently My Tesla page still show the order as AWD. Does anyone have more information from your DS? Right now I ve ordered a car I don t know the specs of the final price or an delivery estimate. So any additional information would be nice. | 2019-04-24 06:34:13 | 6 | In the Netherlands I heard from Tesla LR RWD starting in August and after that the SR+ deliveries begin but he said he did not hear anything official yet. No more information unfortunatly.. (myself ordered SR+) | 2019-04-24 07:38:46 | 3 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 11,824 |
Tesla Rebuffed Uber Partnership on Self-Driving Cars Book Says -Bloomberg | https: www.bloomberg.com news articles 2017-05-16 tesla-rebuffed-uber-partnership-on-self-driving-cars-in-2016 Uber Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Travis Kalanickrang up Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk last year to propose a partnership on self-driving cars according to an upcoming book. The discussion came after Apple Inc. invested $1 billion in Didi Chuxing then a fierce competitor of Uber in China. Kalanick pitched Musk on teaming up against Apple according to Wild Ride a book by Fortune magazine s Adam Lashinsky scheduled for release next week. “I said ‘Look man we should partner ” Kalanick recalled in the book. “Elon spent the rest of the call convincing me that it s too far out and it s not realistic that I should just stick to what we do best and be focused or I m going to f--- it all up. That s when I knew Tesla was competing.” At the time Tesla was rolling out the semi-autonomous driving system Autopilot to its vehicles and work was already underway within Uber on its own self-driving technology. As Musk was playing coy with Kalanick one of the Uber CEO s top deputies learned from a Tesla executive that autonomous cars were a top priority for the carmaker Kalanick said in the book. | 2017-05-16 20:26:52 | 32 | Well that sounds like bullshit. Not sure who is lying here or if someone is playing dumb but Apple-Didi deal was in May 2016. Tesla was already well into Autopilot and had already made clear its autonomous driving ambitions - including aggressive projections made public by Musk. If he really said that he would have been betting that Travis doesn t follow tech news much which is dumb. Most likely Musk said not interested and Travis is now looking to save face. | 2017-05-16 20:38:03 | 23 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 19,393 |
Auto Wiper Solution! | Experienced my first few drives in the rain and find that I agree with everyone on the fact that the Auto Wiper function in the Y and 3 is pretty bad. I m constantly going back and forth between intermittent and auto and the button on the stalk. Has anyone thought of this suggestion before? I think it would be a great fix for most people. [TeslaIdeas.Ideascale.com Auto Wiper Solution](https: teslaideas.ideascale.com a dtd Control-Auto-Wiper-Speed-in-Y-3 410457-46665) Auto wipers in the Y and 3 ramp up way too fast. How about making Auto toggle On Off and let us select how aggressive it is using the controls | 2020-08-29 16:29:45 | 16 | Auto is much better than it was at first. I ve found it doesn t wipe enough when raining however so I guess there s some variance. Also it learns when you intervene and turn off or manually press the button for an extra wipe so it s worth feeding it the data. | 2020-08-29 16:52:38 | 23 | Tesla Model 3 Wiper Concerns | 2,376 |
Tesla s customer service is appalling | I took delivery in my M3 back in March. I really hate how bad my experience has been especially because at the end of the day it s an incredible car. Long story short my car was delivered with a number of dents and paint imperfections my heat broke entirely within 120 miles and it took them two months to get my car back to me. In April they came out with the announcement that the SR models would just be software downgraded SR+ models and that they would be offering refunds to anyone that purchased the SR+ if they were interested in downgrading to the SR because the differences between the models were minor for a $2 000 price difference. I inquired in April and didn t hear back until June. Tesla finally reached out to me saying they were only willing to refund me a difference of $1 500 even though there was a $2 000 difference in price and after I agreed they said I should expect a software update to downgrade and a check in the mail within a week from then. A month went by and of course I heard nothing so I emailed customer support and here we are in August and I ve still heard nothing from them. Every time I call their support line no one seems to know anything. It s just incredibly frustrating that this is how they treat their customers and it seems like their only priority is getting as many cars out as they can as quick as they can. Has anyone had a similar experience or any success with downgrading their M3 from SR+ to SR? | 2019-08-05 23:15:14 | 19 | Tesla s customer service is the worst I ve ever experienced for almost any product. If their products weren t so great I would have been long gone already. | 2019-08-06 03:11:54 | 21 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 20,223 |
SpaceX package for the new Roadster | I haven t seen it anywhere around here so I did a bit of back of the napkin math to ballpark what performance the SpaceX package for the Roadster could bring. First of all the facts: \- Elon said they would replace the rear seats with a pressure tank. \- In the Joe Rogan Podcast Elon mentions a pressure of 10 000 psi So here s where the fun speculation begins: \- Size: 1.5m x 0.3m cylinder = 0.42m\^3 tank \- Weight of air: \~300kg \- Energy capacity: \~8 kWh Now I don t know how fast such a tank could release all that air so I did these for reference: 10s boost of 2 880 kW 60s boost of 480 kW Keep in mind these don t account for temperature losses which can be around 75% - 80% (I ve read somewhere). | 2018-09-15 17:17:22 | 22 | I m interested to see how the SpaceX package works out. I m certain the technology is sound as far as being *functional.* This said I wonder how Tesla and SpaceX engineers will tackle the problems of: * Noise * Safety possible damage to surroundings * Licensing the tech for use on public roads I hope they find a way to make it happen because I want a car with this tech. It s just going to be one hell of an engineering challenge to bring this kind of thing to market for the public. | 2018-09-15 17:32:01 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 17,630 |
Minimize Active Park Required Applications Instead of Closing Them Once Drive is Enabled. | So I m picking my kid up from school and there s a long line of cars ahead of me or sitting in a drive through or any number of reasons I m parked in place for 120+ seconds I pick up my Xbox controller wait the 45 seconds it takes to load up and play some Sonic play for 60 seconds then I need to move forward 5 feet but I m forced to close the game I can t just pause it and resume after I ve parked again. Ok maybe it s a Youtube video video podcast same thing I can t watch more than a minute or two of the video before I have to shut down the Youtube app entirely before resuming it 5 seconds later but it takes an entire 60 seconds to reload the app find the video and resume playback. These small 2-3 minute moments interrupted by switching from drive to park and back to drive could be much improved by simply taking the active application pausing it in the background while in drive and allowing resume upon engaging park again. If your speed exceeds 10mph the background application could be force closed (like car wash mode). To be clear I m not advocating applications be usable while driving I m not. I m saying that these applications should be used in Park as intended but the loading time on my 2022 Model 3 is so long for simple things like Youtube or games that it makes it impractical for practical use. Unless your supercharging and that is a very rare occurrence I m never parked for 20+ minutes to able to use any of the video game features of the car these little slices of time are all I got and unless your road tripping every day and spending hours at a super charger many of Tesla s features go unused because of the impracticality of using them. | 2022-02-26 21:57:21 | 96 | This may be simply be a matter of limited RAM. I also don t see why they couldn t just pause entertainment apps and keep them in RAM. If they had enough. | 2022-02-27 00:04:03 | 22 | Issues with Smart Summon | 11,483 |
Feature request: Autopark should curb the wheels when appropriate | For those who don t know: Curbing the wheels is the practice of turning your front wheels when parking so as to prevent a runaway car if the brakes fail. [It s not just a good idea - it s sometimes the law](https: www.sfmta.com blog san-francisco-parking-tips-why-curbing-your-wheels-so-important) GPS and maps should be able to determine if curbing is required and if so which direction to curb the wheels. | 2019-10-30 17:06:19 | 33 | Unfortunately it even curbs the wheels when *not* appropriate. | 2019-10-30 17:10:39 | 123 | Issues with Smart Summon | 6,511 |
My Model S 5 years later: I really shouldn t like it | I m writing this because my 2013 Model S is about to go back to the shop because the motor sounds like it wants to die (again). You can also take my experience as a warning that you probably shouldn t buy a used Model S and or why you shouldn t be an early adopter (or even why you shouldn t buy a Tesla at all). My car was delivered May 2013. Premium interior tech package 19in alloys 60kWh battery. No glass roof no Super Charging nothing too fancy. Cost about $68 000. It now has a little over 90k miles on it. ******************************************************** The good: * 🙌 never needing to buy gas 🙌 * no more dealing with ICE things like smog and oil changes * it s quick and handles great * it was super unique and cool for the first few years The bad: **The interior build quality and design is garbage.** * Not even for a car of this price but for every modern car. This is my biggest complaint. Having to replace the rear seats on the first day because of how badly the leather was installed was a sign of things to come. It has aged terribly. Today the interior is a creaky rattly mess. Panels are loose and everything squeaks: the seats steering wheel (buttons and scroll wheels included) the dash door handles (interior and exterior) probably the cupholders etc etc. Little Tikes cars are more solid than this. * The design of the interior reflects the build quality. Only two cupholders in the car that also happen to be in the most inconvenient spot. No door or seat pockets. Stupid small sun shades and mirrors (that Tesla still uses today lol) no storage space besides the tiny glovebox. It also doesn t help that that it sounds like the car doesn t have any sort of sound proofing. I can hear everything outside and everyone outside can hear everything going on inside. **Questionable Reliability** * This upcoming appointment to have them fix whatever is wrong with the drive unit is going to be its third fix and unfortunately I don t think it s going to be it s last until I pony up the cash just to replace the whole thing. * The car needs to be rebooted about 2-3 times a month because bluetooth or data just stops working * Sometimes the car can t charge at 10kW at home and will only do 3kW and no one really knows why (my Model 3 doesn t have this problem with the same old UMC and outlet) * [Oh yeah an update bricked my car last year requiring a $2 500 MCU replacement (that Tesla *eventually* refunded)](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 6nanze last_update_may_have_bricked_my_car ) * edit: Oh and I had the first MCU replaced because of the bubbles ******************************************************** I have Stockholm Syndrome. My experience with this Model S doesn t give me much confidence in the long term reliability of my 6-month old Model 3 (also because it too has a stupid amount of build quality issues). No Toyota or Nissan or Honda I ve ever had has given me this much extra trouble. And they ve definitely had better build quality at less than half the price. Despite all that crap for some reason I still like this car. And I ll probably buy the Tesla pickup truck whenever that comes out. **TL DR Owning a Tesla hurts so good.** | 2018-10-03 18:28:15 | 125 | These cars have come a long way since 2013. I turned in my 2015 P85D this summer with a little over 60k on the odo. The best car I ve had. Prior to this I had three Porsches 911s two BMWs and an Audi A8. Every one of them had a host of issues the most memorable being a clutch pedal that locked up on a 911 while driving. Oh yeah fun times. The only nitpick against my P85D is that it had a Bauhaus inspired spartan interior. Fortunately that reflects my taste in general (and no I don t eat or drink in my car). Other than that it was the first car that I turned in after three years that didn t have any issues and obviously I didn t spend a penny on it. Literally -- it s a company car so I charge at work too. Best of all the P85D was dead silent on the inside. Not a rattle or shake or creak from anything. Anyway on to my P100D which I picked up in August as a slightly used test drive inventory car. A solid month in not a complaint. As I was saying it s absolutely amazing how far they have come in 5 years. | 2018-10-03 18:38:12 | 65 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 13,279 |
[Discussion] What you recommend for second car for family | I recently got model3 .. and my other car (honda cr-v) also needs replacement. We are family of 4 ( 2 + 2kids) I am doing some proactive search on either minivans (like sienna or pacifica) or CRV again ... Also given landscape of cars is changing fast i am also thinking may be i take lease. (against conventional wisdom of buying). What you think? CRV or minivan lease vs buy .. Reason fo lease is i get to drive new car and let it go after 2-3 yrs. Hopefully by then we might have proper (affordable) electric SUV or minivan. | 2018-06-21 13:19:26 | 5 | Chrysler Pacifica plugin hybrid is worth a hard look and test drive. No stow and go seats but it has a decent electric range and after incentives it s about the same price or cheaper than the highest gas trim. Edit: Leasing will probably affect any state incentives or rebates. But in 2-3 years I don t really see anything decent coming out except maybe the VW electric minibus (ID Buzz?). | 2018-06-21 13:35:05 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 24,915 |

Does anyone keep a track of supercharging costs in Southern California? | Hello! My friends parents were explaining that now that supercharging is no longer free owning a Chevy Bolt makes more sense. (They re ridiculous I wasn t about to get into it over dinner) This made me question what supercharging costs actually are in SoCal. I m aware that it varies by energy company and county city but I know there is likely someone who has kept track of the math during their first month or so of ownership for Model 3 and Model S. I tried searching the sub and didn t find anything specifically relating to Southern California. Andy Slye has a great video of costs on his model 3 but he lives east. So I was just curious :) | 2019-07-29 00:30:53 | 11 | Most owners don t use supercharging as their main way of getting energy so the cost of supercharging isn t taken into account when purchasing the car. I wouldn t recommend anyone buy a Tesla if they can t charge at home. The cost for home charging is roughly .17 kwh depending on where in Los Angeles you are. Usually superchargers range 5 to 10 cents over that. Tell your friend that the fact that you re less likely to die in a model 3 than any other car including a bolt is reason enough to buy a Tesla. | 2019-07-29 00:38:03 | 19 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 5,439 |
Leased a model3 on April 24th still haven t processed the registration or license plate transfer. I need help! | I leased a Model 3 and I picked it up in Charlotte on 4 24. I love my car but I ve had nothing but problems with the paperwork. They didn t have my car they said it was in Raliegh but they were going to give me a car just like I ordered but with a different vin.....uhm ok. They didn t have a sales person to help me when I got there just someone from the service department. They couldn t print the new paperwork with the proper vin because their systems were down. We waited over 4 hours. They promised us a check for $150 for the inconvenience but they never sent it. In the end they had me sign the old paperwork with the vin scratched out and corrected by hand. Ok no problem I guess. They promised they would overnight the correct paperwork for me on Monday. Monday comes and no paperwork. I called and they said they d send it and I received it on Tuesday. I filled out all the paperwork and asked about the tag transfer I live in SC but picked the car up in Charlotte so I called the DMV and they assured me that all I had to do was make sure they filled out a form 400 and it would all be taken care of. The dealership said that they couldn t find my registration from my old car which I turned it in SC the day before. So I had to go to the DMV and pay to get a copy made and I sent it to them. They promised me that it s all been taken care of. Flash forward 3 weeks when I get a request for my insurance card...that I d already submitted several times. So I resent it to them. I called the DMV and they had no record of any registration or transfer request. I called Tesla and spoke to the guy that was in charge of my account paperwork and he swore that it was being taken care of. Today is 45 days from when I took possession of the vehicle....and I called the DMV and they don t show my tag being registered to anything and no record of the registration. I have sent several emails during this time with no response either from the dealership or the guy that was in charge of my paperwork. So I called Tesla Finance and they had no idea what to do. They said they d escalate it and it might be a few days before anyone gets back to me. I m at a complete loss! 1) I m I still legal to drive this car in SC with it being 45 days out from the delivery? 2) I paid taxes on the tag in February. If I have to get a new tag I ll be out the property taxes of about $800. Can they still transfer the tag being so far out? 3) What happens if I can t get Tesla to register the vehicle? Can I return the car? Please if anyone has any suggestions I d really appreciate it. I m at a complete loss and feel utterly helpless at this point. Thanks and I m sorry for the wall of text | 2019-06-04 01:05:43 | 31 | Wow looks like tesla has not improved since I bought my 3 in Aug... as a stock owner I become more and more frustrated with tesla the more I see their lack of progress on the customer service end | 2019-06-04 05:02:08 | 8 | Tesla Model 3 Delivery Experiences | 10,759 |
Feature idea: sentry video proximity sharing | I ve noticed that many videos where sentry mode catches someone being malicious to the car the person is too close to the camera to see their face. I ve also noticed that Teslas are common enough that they are often in the same lot. Wouldn t it be great if they could identify other Teslas in the proximity that are using sentry mode and help each other to record more angles of events? Then the videos could be automatically shared to the owners vehicle who detected an event. | 2019-12-17 17:09:53 | 27 | This seems like an immensely slippery slope. Maybe I m not in the same belief group as the majority here but as someone who works near a *lot* of teslas I don t like the idea of knowing that if one Tesla is filming then they all are. One is enough for now imo. | 2019-12-17 17:15:23 | 27 | Issues with Sentry Mode | 6,493 |

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

Does MCU 2 Retrofit use the same screen as MCU 1? | I own a late 2016 Model S (HW 2.0) and I ve finally pulled the trigger on doing a HW3 purchase. At the same time am getting the MCU 2 retrofit. When I spoke with the tech at the service center he told me the MCU 2 retrofit parts are constrained specifically because of the LCD. I also happen to have the yellow “halo” issue on my MCU 1 screen so he offered me an option to do the repair in two steps. First have my current MCU 1 LCD treated for the halo (which as I understand it is a UV treatment of sorts). Second they would do the MCU 2 retrofit but using the now repaired LCD. My main question is is there a hardware difference between the MCU 2 and MCU 1 screens on the Model S retrofit? Should I just wait and have the LCD replaced as well? (One benefit is I am getting $250 off the retrofit cost so that s nice!) | 2020-06-28 17:52:18 | 19 | You DEFINITELY do not want this!!! Ballpark numbers: - New screen = 1200 = - MCU 2 inc screen = 2500 = * If you accept you ll get the yellow banding back in x time (it is not an IF but a WHEN) and than you re screwed: 1200 + 2500 - 250 = 3450 =. * If you wait and get the normal offer you re done at 2500 = So the discount is bogus if you accept then at a 1000+ discount. SC confirmed a year ago: new MCU = new screen. The new screen is of the new non yellow banding type! My SC explicitly advised me to NOT replace the screen separately due to yellow banding if I was going to get the MCU upgrade. Since I would be paying for 2 screens in that case..... I followed their advice and only got the free UV “fix” to temporarily reduce the yellow banding.

Why haven t the other car companies caught up yet? My thoughts. | Musk: I had thought the big car companies would be coming out with electric cars sooner he says. Crazy thing is it s now seven years since we unveiled the Roadster and yet there s still not a single car for sale without a Tesla badge that has a 250 mile range. That s mind blowing. I thought the same and despite being a huge fan from word Go! I wouldn t have invested in Tesla for this reason. I have been trying to work it out for years. Is it the unwillingness to invest in public charging infrastructure? Access to batteries? Big oil influence? Dinosaurs in the board room? I ve come to a conclusion It s corporate core competency . Business men tend to copy successful business methods. Focussing on core competency has been a popular one.... for years? Car companies did away with much of their manufacturing capability and buy from 3rd parties. No more headlights mirrors windshields etc. Instead they have their motors gearboxes chassis etc. Then they focus on screwing their suppliers. When Tesla started the very first thing they built was the battery pack. They saw that as their core competency . They thought to just buy the rest of the car. Very early on they started to sell their consulting services (I assume in pack design). Now consider any other car company. They have no interest in extending past their core competency. Considering an EV they first go to a battery company. Should we use 18650 cells? *Hell no! Those bastards are dangerous!* (this happened to Tesla). Will you make us a pack? *That s outside of our core competency but we can make cells that are easy to assemble!* Car companies were willing to spend a lot on E tech VW spent 7 bn EU. But they spent it close to their core competency. Chassis which could support an ICE or an EV. Hybrids. Insanely complicated gearboxes (See the Volt s). They weren t afraid of 18650 s themselves. Three companies jumped at the chance to buy Tesla packs. To date only three companies have built a dedicated chassis BMW Coda and Tesla. Coda had a Chinese battery company partnership and used a Chinese car body. It s glider is the most like Tesla s. A tiny company. BMW made a car with a lot of good work on everything but the tiny 18.8kwh pack. Tesla worked out that it would be cheaper to make their own car. The background of their founders being a desirable Ebook powered by Lithium with a nice user interface. They intended to make a desirable EV powered by Lithium with a nice user interface. AFAIK the other companies all hand assemble their packs. To improve pack performance or cost they hassle their cell suppliers. Will this situation change? The other car companies do not want to change who they are unless they have no choice but they will be happy to buy cheaper packs or cells. LG Chem have been promising to supply cheap easy to assemble cells in 2017. I suspect Tesla are also promising to supply cheap packs before? 2017. To Mercedes certainly BMW probably and I assume Toyota. With an easy solution there s no way they ll change. | 2014-11-26 03:16:16 | 10 | It s been said by others more eloquently but you have to understand how massive corporations work. The board reports to the shareholders who by and large are demanding immediate short to medium returns and dividends. Risk increases uncertainty and the chance that you could fail - having spent millions or billions on something new and revolutionary. As a board member am I going to recommend that we try spending a bunch of money on something completely unproven risk getting fired or will I just keep doing much of the same (reduce costs increase revenues) and keep collecting those big bonuses. Most of the boards and senior leadership are far happier keeping on with the same thing that works. For the most part this works well when you re a massive company with little room for new entrants in the market. And if someone does come up with a new profitable thing - well that s what takeovers are for right? As a general rule these organisations don t have an environment that encourages new ideas and invests in them. And they certainly don t have a SLT that will push the company to risky behavior. There is nothing fundamentally stopping the likes of GM or whomever from going out and building a long-range EV. They d need to start by building a stack of Gigafactories and then installing their own Supercharger network everywhere but that s solvable. The harder part is scaling up a manufacturing business and that s something the likes of GM and Toyota know how to do. | 2014-11-26 04:39:28 | 11 | Future of Electric Cars | 23,497 |

Is Good samaritan charging a thing? | If I park in an EV spot but all of the chargers are in use should I plug in my J1772 adapter to the car and wait for some good samaritan to plug me in to power whenever they are leaving and unplug themselves? I m thinking I could lock the J1772 adapter into the charging port so it doesn t get stolen. Those things are like $100 to replace. There s another Tesla bro at work that parks at the charger with me sometimes. I was leaving for lunch today and wanted to give him a charge since all the others were in use but there was no way for me to open his port and I haven t managed to catch his face on my Sentry Cams to know who he is in my building. | 2019-05-31 18:22:51 | 21 | My general rule: do not touch other people s cars.

Problems when using Summon to reverse park the car. Forward works fine. | 2016 70D. As the post states. If I use Summon to pull my car into the garage nose first it works without any problems. If I have Summon reverse my car into the garage it fails constantly. I have no idea why and not really annoys the crap out of me. Tonight it nearly hit the garage wall. It stopped with less than 1 10yh of an inch left before I manually stopped it. Pretty sure if I didn t it would have kept going and dated the car. Should I take it to a Tesla service station?

Sales tax when purchasing out of state...? | Started talking to chat customer care and I provided my name number and the chat team said customer support would call. Customer care called support called and was (at best) rude...Can someone confirm deny these points? - if you travel to another state and buy an existing built Tesla you will pay sales tax twice (once in the state of purchase and once when you arrive home) ... is this true? This has not been the case when I purchased ICE vehicles out of state. - you cannot roll any negative equity into a new purchase I have $1100 of negative equity but it was just a question and the rep said “no absolutely not” ... BUT see below Per FAQ Tesla website: “Can I apply the value of my trade-in vehicle to the total purchase of my Tesla? You can apply any applicable positive equity towards the purchase of your new or used Tesla. If you have negative equity it must be paid either at delivery or rolled into your purchase agreement (pending credit approval).” - he stated that purchasing an existing car vs configuring my new own was a risky move because I won t get the tax incentive...HOWEVER the model 3 I found online that fit my build and is already built sitting in NE is new...so why would I not get the tax incentive? I would be buying a new Tesla - lastly is supercharging included in the purchase currently of a new model 3? The rep said “I m not sure but that shouldn t be a deciding factor for you to buy one” Yeah...any help would be greatly appreciated. | 2019-11-12 22:20:45 | 5 | sales taxes are usually paid wherever the car is registered. you can only use positive equity to lower the basis cost of the car for tax purposes | 2019-11-13 02:19:21 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 16,749 |
Is there a gap between normal AP braking and AEB? | Going on 1 year of ownership spend plenty of time in AP (following distance set to 4 or 5) and sometimes I get nervous that cars ahead are braking too fast for AP to keep up. I typically take over then but I wonder if I m overreacting. I feel like I don t have a good grasp of what I should do in a quick stop scenario. How do you decide if you ll take over or let AP do its thing? Not the kind of stop that is tire-squealing people diving left and right mind you as I expect that I d be unable to not take over in that kind of scenario but what people might call a very quick stop. Something just shy of tires squealing ABS kicking in on normal dry pavement. Got me to wondering... Assuming AP has a good lock on all the vehicles around it no surprises (Cresting a hill and missing a stopped car or something on the side of the road) How hard will AP brake the car? Is there a gap between AP maximum braking and where AEB kicks in such that an unnecessary close call (or crash) could be caused by AP reacting too gradually where a person would have stopped harder and prevented a collision altogether? In essence... Will AP brake as hard as it needs to when the time comes? Can I trust it to stop quickly enough or should I take over if I don t think it s stopping quickly enough? | 2017-08-22 00:36:33 | 13 | You should always just manually brake if you are not comfortable with the stopping distance. I also feel like you are using AP in the wrong areas. I use it only when all other traffic is going roughly the speed as me. That might be 70mph or 7mph. The greater the difference in speed the less likely APs object recognition will succeed. | 2017-08-22 01:54:42 | 3 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 10,142 |
Model 3 at Silicon Valley auto show. | They have a red model 3 at the Silicon Valley auto show at the convention center. It is turned on so you can play with the screen adjust seats etc. It wasn t that crowded so had plenty of time to check it out and talk with other people who were checking out the car. Edit: I knew a lot about the car so not much surprised me and not a lot of new info. Except: 1. I thought the screen was excellent. Really sharp lot of things on the screen and yet it all looked really good. 2. the back seats were a bit of a surprise. I am 5 11” and the headroom was excellent. But the seat was low and so my legs were up quite a bit (meaning my thighs weren t anywhere near parallel to the floor) I don t know how I would feel if I sat in them during a long trip. Secondly there was no room under the front seats to put your feet depending on how the seats are adjusted. The guy sitting in the front passenger seat adjusted the seat to be comfortable but that pushed the seat down so much there was no room at all. That guy was not really tall or anything. That makes the first problem I mentioned worse since you can t stretch out your feet and you need to keep them more upright. I guess you can negotiate with the people in the front | 2018-01-05 19:22:03 | 26 | VIN? | 2018-01-05 20:01:00 | 6 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 12,089 |

Help me understand the math | Hi reddit. - I currently drive approximately 50 000 miles per year in a f250 Diesel and i m considering putting an order in on the cybertruck. - I don t particularly like the design of a Cybertruck as it isn t really functional for a lot of the truck things i do (Can t put ladder racks on it can t tow a fifth wheel). So i d have to keep the diesel truck as well. - However i m looking hard at what my savings would be if i figured out a way to put the bulk of those miles on a Cybertruck instead of the diesel. - So here s the math on the diesel side: 50 000 miles per year at 14.5 miles per gallon = 3448 gallon of diesel at $3.00 per gallon on average (estimated) = $10 344 in fuel costs yearly. - Further according to most things i read charging is going to cost me approximately $0.041 per mile. 50 000 * 0.041 = $2 050 in yearly charging costs. - This would be a yearly savings of $8 294 for me if i ve done the math correctly. Over the 6 year lifespan of a vehicle loan this translates into $49 764 in fuel savings. - Are there any flaws in my math from real world users? - If my math is correct i feel i can purchase a two engine cybertruck at no additional cost to me. | 2020-01-10 11:43:13 | 117 | I think you need to add more to the cost of energy. Because of phantom drain you will need to add more than “50 000 miles” worth of change to the Tesla. When sentry mode is on and during other times the battery slowly loses charge. Also if you have the heat on are flooring it towing something heavy etc you will get worse “gas” mileage so 10 miles might actually be 4 miles. Edit: also consider that you will likely need to use a supercharger at some point. Doing so makes my gas conversion calc slightly higher than yours. My battery capacity is 75 mwh and has a projected range of 310 miles. At a conservative supercharger cost of 22 cents per kwh to get a complete charge would cost me 5.3 cents per mile (0.22*75 310). | 2020-01-10 13:09:48 | 90 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 7,788 |
Can solar roof tiles work on a flat roof? | I ve got a flat roof. Doesn t leak we maintain it but it s old and will need replacing eventually. Lots of sun here in Los Angeles and I d love to go solar. Our roof is currently .... I dunno what it s called. Tar and gravel? Something like that. Is there a way to replace it with solar tiles on a flat roof? Can t add slope would require increasing the height on one side and that s a nightmare to do with city regulations. Anyone know if this would work? Edit — several folks asking why we don t just add solar panels to our roof. Because we have to replace the roof first. So 15-20k for a new roof then same price for solar panels means we are in 30-40k. A solar tile roof would theoretically cut the cost in half. Edit 2 - well I have my answer and have learned quite a bit. 1 — I need to replace my roof and get traditional panels on a tilt mount system 2 — I need to make way more $$ so I can afford a model X. But I knew that already! | 2017-08-08 00:24:15 | 14 | Why bother with solar tiles?

Tesla and NTSB questions and comment | This is not going to make me friends but I have to ask comment. I am so sorry this gentleman lost his life while operating his vehicle in autopilot but can we at least learn from it. Forgetting the emotional aspect of this autopilot argument and looking at time distance raises lots of questions. The article indicates the autopilot system was engaged 10 secs before impact. For 8 seconds no indication of hands on wheel were registered. At 10 secs out at 68mph that is a distance of \~> 3 football fields (68mph for 10 secs = \~1k ). The driver of the car hopefully looked down the highway and engaged autopilot. He either sees and doesn t recognize the threat of the semi or he never sees it. Last 8 secs no hand confirmation is detected. Car continues travel \~800 without driver noticing Semi Trailer at upcoming intersection or noticing Semi trailer pulling out onto highway or the highway being blocked. How long in the 10 or 8 secs did it take for the tractor trailer to begin entering highway assume from a stop? If we assume he started at the 10 sec mark he looked down the highway and felt he could safely cross the highway either he didn t see the car or he did and believed he could safely negotiate the crossing. If he did see the car and proceeded he must have either felt the vehicle would stop for him or grossly miscalculated successfully clearing the highway. So for 10 seconds a pretty good amount of time driver does not notice or react to the truck. Was the road curved or tree lined preventing the ability to see the truck? Why did the truck not see the car? Were there other cars on the road that did see the truck and react accordingly? Why did the driver not take any action to slow or steer the car to avoid impact? Leaving autopilot out of it. We have two drivers one operating the semi trailor and one operating the car. The semi had to enter the highway cars lane of travel at about \~2 to 5 seconds (either already moving or from a dead stop) before impact. The operator of the truck never saw the car? The operator of the car apparently never saw the truck entering in front of him and was preoccupied doing something else or maybe had a medical emergency or something else. Lots of questions here which the full report hopefully will address. At what point should either of them noticed the other 10 sec 8 sec 5 sec etc? Now you can go back to autopilot and beat it to death. End of the day it is still the operators responsibility (car and truck) to maintain control and operate their vehicle safely. We ve seen the write-ups on why radar (Ranging and Detection) does not respond to perpendicular or stopped obstacles. An open bottom semi being one of them. I admit I m biased seeing I use it constantly and understand some of its limitations. Yes it did do goofy stuff on me through the past 7 months. Being in control and prepared to intercede if necessary allowed me to enjoy all it s driving assist capabilities. Does it need work of course it does. Do you suspend it because drivers failed to operate their cars accordingly? If you did suspend it would mean that overwhelming majority who continually benefit from and operate their vehicles responsibly will be punished because of the actions or lack there of a few drivers. Is it correct to state it is due to autopilot every time an accident occurs? Which would imply when you turn autopilot on you are no longer responsible for operating your vehicle? I think a stronger argument should be made for cellphones active in cars allowing texting voice calls and or other non driving assist applications. Looking at automobile related Deaths caused by Cellphones indicates as high as 300 per year in some states graph in link. [https: www.automotive-fleet.com 278584 states-with-highest-cell-phone-road-deaths-identified](https: www.automotive-fleet.com 278584 states-with-highest-cell-phone-road-deaths-identified). Apparently cellphones are killing way way more people compared to autopilot and it appears to be acceptable to the NTSB and legislators. Yes they passed laws but has it had any impact on the death rates? So which of the two Cellphones or autopilot are more dangerous? Cellphones are 100% driver responsibility as is autopilot. Autopilot will continue to improve and hopefully this type accident will be the last anyone has to experience using any manufacturers driver assist autopilot technology. Can we say the same for cellphones and cars? | 2019-05-18 22:36:31 | 6 | Tesla can t fix stupid people still drive using autopilot and their hands not on the wheel or distracted entirely.

Delivery Experience Not So Awesome | So for the second time I was notified that my Tesla is ready or very close to ready. First time I was told it is in town at the service center. Then last night I get an automated email saying it is ready and to schedule delivery. After about a week of nothing after the first email I called. Turns out the car was damaged during delivery. So a week goes by and I get the email last night. I called. Nope--still waiting to be fixed as they had to order a new front hood. GRRR. Seems the automated process doesn t seem to handle exceptions well. Might be another week or two. I know shit happens and I m not really mad that the car was damaged--it happens. Just set my expectations correctly and in a timely way. My garage charger is thinking no one loves it. Waiting on my 70D Red Model S. Sigh. EDIT: no P in my 70D EDIT: interestingly on the MyTesla section of the site it is still asking for my driver s license. I have uploaded my license and entered in my # but the site just says I ve entered no information. Quite annoying as well. I sent them a message three weeks ago-no response. | 2016-06-29 17:25:50 | 21 | I wonder if this happens more with other manufacturers that you realize just because you order a Tesla fully customized.. you just never hear about the issues because usually you just pick from the lot you know? | 2016-06-29 18:15:00 | 7 | Tesla Model 3 Delivery Experiences | 4,940 |
I think Tesla can design a single truck to compete with pickups large SUVs and work vans. | I ve been thinking a lot about the Tesla pickup and came up with the design that would be perfect for me and what I think is perfect for many others as well: Overall length = 234” w 6 bed. For comparison an F-150 Supercrew w 5.5 bed is 232”. The majority do not want to drive a truck bigger than when they aren t working. Tesla splits the difference of a 5.5 and 6.5 bed so they only need to build one body type. For those parking in a residential garage less than 20 is ideal. Seems to be the sweet spot for length. Bed length = 6 ....or is it? I think the bed should continue under the third row seats giving 8 + of length in the lower foot or so of bed. Access doors on sides allow you to easily reach in a grab things in that portion of the bed. Tailgate = will have a step system built into the tailgate similar to GMC. Number of Seats = 2 in the front (between wheel wells) 0 2 or 3 in the second row 0 2 or 3 in the third row...so somewhere between 2 and 8 depending on the crew or family need. Most seating available in any truck or choose just 2 seats ample interior storage space for tools and other gear. So how s this possible? A Yukon XL is 224” long. The Tesla overall length is 10” more but the 72” bed leaves us 62” short on cabin space. Losing the space behind the 3rd row subtracts 22” and moving the driver up 40” gets us back to our 234”. So basically you get the interior space of a Yukon XL and more bed space than most pickup trucks. Range = 275mi (100KW) 350 (125KW) 510 (200KW). Just breaking all sorts of records while making range anxiety while towing a thing of the past. Tow Rating = 20 000lbs with max tow package (10% higher than an F-350). 0-60 = 3.2 seconds for the performance with 200KW battery 3.6 seconds performance 125 KW battery standard 4.9 seconds. Can be used as a whole house generator. Starting Price = $49 000 bare bones 2 seater work truck maxing out around $150k with all options. What s it going to look like? The front end is going to look like a an Israeli Mantis armored vehicle which shares a very similar look to the teaser image. The Tesla truck front end will come down lower and the tires will be smaller than the Mantis. The rear end will be similar to most current trucks but have a fastback design with an option retractable solar cover for trickle charging. There will be regular front doors but suicide doors for the back. Storage space and add on accessories available throughout the truck. This truck will be both a pickup truck and large SUV replacement offering the most seating in a truck most cargo space in a truck SUV can be optioned to be like a work van tows like a beast fast as a sports car lower center of gravity and balanced weight for great handling of a vehicle of its size. This would be a game changer the most versatile vehicle on 4 wheels. Let s see what the unveil next month brings.

[Discussion] Model 3 doesn t charge if unplugged and then plugged back in | I use a public charger at work there s no payment interface you just plug in and it starts delivering electricity. My colleagues use a reservation schedule so oftentimes after I ve finished my time slot someone will unplug me to charge their own car and then they will plug me back in after they re done. When I get plugged in that second time the car doesn t pull any electricity. If I open the Tesla app the car will start charging. Anybody know how to fix this so it always charges when it gets re-plugged in? | 2020-02-04 14:24:47 | 31 | Car probably went to sleep.

Tesla should post the carbon saved counter from their website on their buildings and in major city hubs like Time Square. | https: www.tesla.com carbonimpact How inspiring is the carbon tracker on their website? It is truly incredible to me. Not only does it make you realize how much CO2 is already produced by cars it shows you the progress of just one company towards reducing that. I know Tesla doesn t advertise and this could be taken as that but really it would be a great way to push the conversation into the public and provide awareness and as a side effect help Tesla. They could even cycle through the top 10 global cities for carbon saved. I mean there is already the National Debt tracker in NY why not add something more positive. Force people to see it. Edit: People keep saying “but they don t advertise.” I am saying they should do this to bring awareness to pollution and how much there is and how much just one company is saving. Those numbers are in TONS...I don t think people normally think of a gas as that heavy or at that scale. Also Tesla does do marketing. Just not traditional advertising. You think MotorTrend just did all those tests out of the goodness of its heart. | 2020-01-31 02:00:44 | 173 | Even if it s factual it s marketing.

GPS Issues after underground parking | Dear all Starting a few days ago my GPS seems to be stuck around 15-20 Minutes after i leave my underground parking (no signal just dead reckoning). It may be related to a recent update (like 2020.8.x?) but i dont think its a hardware problem as rebooting the MCU immediately fixes the issue. Anyone else having this issue on the 2020.8 branch?

Replacing my Model X... or do I? | First world problems totally unique issue just looking to get some new thoughts on this situation. I ordered a new Model X Raven refresh and should receive it by the end of this week. Main reason: I wanted the longer range at this new price all the premium options rolled into it etc. Mostly the range though as my daily commutes are pushing the battery to the limits even with Supercharging access in LA. I still own my 2017 Model X 6 seater unlimited supercharging with AP 2.0 and FSD paid for. I m looking at selling it and have a few offers on the table that are acceptable as far as price and the wear tear on my car. My wife has a Mazda CX-5 on lease until June 2021 and I m fairly certain we won t keep it. Now I m pondering the question: do I sell the 2017 Model X? As far as features it s complete and will have AP3.0 when FSD is released. I have half paid off the car so selling it now (even with some money left over towards the new Model X) is the wise and prudent thing to do. However considering I have an enduring need for a 2nd car (not right now sure but soon) and my current Model X will be autonomous when it s allowed capable leads me to think there s more value (for now just in my head) than selling it. I like the idea of having two X s if only because I think it would fit our lifestyle right now: 2 kids I drive a lot my wife drives VERY little she drives 2 little humans I drive myself and them but mostly drive myself and equipment for work. We could charge both cars at home and her car would be the 2017 so she d have unlimited supercharging (and we have a supercharger 1.5 miles from our house in a shopping center she frequents). Is my hesitation to release my Model X as a sale to help pay for my upgrade founded? Should I give it more time to keep both cars and run out the Mazda lease (or just get rid of the lease entirely)? Am I being a Tesla hoarder? Is the notion that a FSD vehicle has greater value in the future that I will feel like I gave up too much to just get some money back towards the upgrade? Just thinking out loud I d appreciate other people s thoughts. Thanks! | 2019-06-25 03:25:34 | 10 | I doubt anyone here would recommend keeping a mazda. I m not seeing many downsides to keeping 2 x s | 2019-06-25 03:33:43 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 16,462 |

Will an MCU retrofit be available? | So I ordered my Model S 100D end of 2017 and it got delivered a week before the new MCU upgrade came to all the cars coming out. So I missed out on the upgrade by just a week in 2018. Now I am still looking for a way to upgrade my MCU. Will Tesla retrofit the upgrade for a fair price? Or will the FSD upgrade(Nvidea processing upgrade) also adress the MCU? The touchscreen works so incredibly slow it really annoys me I had to pay twice the price of a M3 and seem to get less. Also CCS charging is only on M3 not Model S it s very disapointing to see the expensive model seems to be less of an car then the Model 3 is. & #x200B Anybody has any ideas on MCU retrofit? Or is it included when you get FSD. | 2018-12-14 02:34:52 | 13 | Tesla won t retrofit your MCU for any amount of money right now. No information is available regarding whether it will ever be possible besides Elon once saying on Twitter that it should be possible. Personally I asked a guy at my local service center about it and he told me that I don t want MCU2 yet due to how many issues they ve had with it.

compare uphill traction - M3 RWD + winter tires to ICE FWD + winter tires | Hello I ve read multiple threads on snow traction but these mainly compare RWD vs dual-motor and winter vs all-season tires and the comparisons are for differing configurations. I ll start by saying I consider winter tires mandatory for any area with snow. I live in the Toronto Canada area. I d like to know of comparisons of a M3 RWD with winter tires compared to a typical ICE sedan (Corolla Civic ...) FWD with winter tires specifically starting up a hill. For those in the Toronto area there is a huge downhill uphill stretch on Yonge St between Steeles and Highway 7 and I have seen vehicles get stuck trying to start from a stop and climb from the lowest-elevation point (closest to golf courses). I d feel like I m not losing anything if it s comparable or better than an average ICE FWD. (I m aware front-engine RWD ICE is worse due to weight distribution.) My economic situation and the recent Canadian govt EV program are pointing me to the SR+ RWD M3. I d love a dual-motor but the end of the Ontario cap-and-trade-funded EV program is a huge economic hurdle. Thanks! | 2019-05-03 17:48:25 | 9 | Ottawa RWD Model 3 and a FWD Kia Rondo both with X-ice tires. Tesla wins. | 2019-05-03 18:49:41 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 25,341 |

Tesla shares just peaked at $202.20 this morning - new all time high. | And as a nice little reward since I ve been holding since ~$17-18 I sold ~25% of my shares at $200 exactly. Woohoo!

I went to a Tesla store today. | I ve been a big fan of Tesla and Elon for many years since reading his biography. I ve know that the Model S and the Model X were always going to be out of my price range so when the Model 3 was announced and it would be priced so that it would be affordable to the masses to say I was excited would be an understatement. For the last few months I ve been more infatuated with the cars than usual by scrolling through pictures stalking the custom build website and driving my wife up a wall with my justification attempts. But today she humored me and agreed to go to the store with me to look at the Model 3. I was like a kid in Disney when I walked in the store. The sales representative was polite knowledgeable and attentive. Going over all the savings from being an all electric car to all of the normal maintenance that would no longer be needed. But when it came down to the bottom line I realized that I wouldn t be able to pull the trigger. Not for a while anyways. Maybe in a few more years the dream will come true until then im just another Tesla fan who loves this sub and company. TL DR - Big fan and wanted to share. Went to a store and finally came to acccept they re still out of my price range for now.

Extended Warranties for CPO MS? | Hi Guys Just wondering if you can buy extended warranties for CPO MS?

I do 1.2k miles per month and with the MS I am sure I will put close to 2k per month.... My guess is that since its expensive to repair a MS extended warranties are worth it?

Tesla Mobile Charger into downstream household outlet keeps tripping the main GFCI outlet | \*\*\* Check Below Main Post for updates \*\*\* & #x200B Anyone else have the mobile charger plugged into a household outlet trip the GCFI outlet? My situation is this: Garage has a GFCI and I believe 2 downstream outlets. I ve tried plugging into both downstream outlets and it has tripped the GFCI. I did not try directly into the GFCI will be able to do so tomorrow. It s on a 20amp circuit breaker There s also a garage opener and 2 led shop lights in the garage only the shop lights were on. the mobile charger lights up green just fine but within 2 seconds of plugging in the Model 3 the main GFCI outlet trips and there s no more power coming from the downstream outlets until I do the reset on the GFCI. Should plugging directly into the main GFCI make any difference vs downstream outlets? & #x200B \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* UPDATES \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Update 1: * Tried straight into the GFCI outlet and it tripped * Just for kicks tried using the extension cord with the GFCI and also on a downstream outlet in the garage both caused a trip * Tried using the extension cord on an interior outlet something in the hallway that I assumed was not connected to GFCI and voila it worked!!

The electrician coming over is the same one that installed it originally so that background knowledge should help diagnose if it s just this one main GFCI outlet in the garage or a bigger issue. * Again I think it ll become a moot point since a wall charger is getting installed but would just be nice to have some kind of top off charging while waiting for that appointment. | 2020-06-21 03:27:59 | 8 | I have plugged into a GFCI directly (not on the load side) without it tripping.

It s a combo microSD SD reader and it emulates a separate USB mass storage device for each slot regardless of whether there s media in either of them. The car was detecting the empty SD card slot and reporting the no file system error. The solution was super simple: I just stuck an old SD card into the slot so the car has something to mount this took care of the error. After 2021.32.22 I have a constant notification alert that says “usb drive has no file system and must be unplugged”. Sentry and dashcam work ok anyway. It seems Tesla has stopped liking microSD adapters? Edit: whoever is downvoting questions in this thread is a dickfart.

HELP! Edited order and Premium Internet | Hey Tesla Fam I configured paid for my T3 order on 6 30 18 to take advantage of the free premium internet with a delivery of Sept 18 - Nov 18 and TODAY I stupidly decided to go back and edit design and hit update order (even though i did not change anything) Now the delivery window is from Oct 18 - Dec 18 and received an email saying new order date is 7 1 18. I have the original order agreement form that states I placed original order on 6 30 18 but was hoping that my stupid mistake didn t opt me out of the free premium internet. Any comments suggestions outlooks would be cool **UPDATE** I called a local tesla dealership and spoke to the sales manager. I explained to him that I had no changes from my original order date to today (silly i know) and he said that they keep a log in the system of the orders and changes and he basically said i m good to go. He saw my order in the system of 6 30 18 so i get my free premium internet! just passing the info along for everyone in my same boat also call your local dealership to see if they will have the same reply thanks! | 2018-07-01 17:20:35 | 10 | They should hold to the order being the date you paid them. I can t see them being they pedantic. That you updated the car but the money was already paid. Also do let us know if this ends up being a thing. I was thinking of making a change to the wheels. | 2018-07-01 17:26:12 | 8 | Tesla Model 3 Delivery Experiences | 7,394 |
Tips on driving across the US | My wife and I ordered a Model Y performance and are planning on taking a trip from California to New England driving on I80 for 80% of it. I ve checked the route on a couple of route planners and I see a lot of 20 minute charges after < 150 miles. probably sounds stupid but is it worth trying to maximize my range and skip the first charge suggestions? Does that save time take longer worth the anxiety? We are travelling with 2 dogs that get very excited every time we stop and the first stretch has me driving over night while the wife sleeps (would like to keep the stops to a minimum to let her rest). Would love to hear lessons learned or advice from people that have also made long distance trips like this. It would be our 4th time making this trip so it s not new to us but it would be the first time with a Tesla. | 2020-08-21 17:33:42 | 19 | We have done two cross country trips use the suggested charging stops as a very lose guide: 1. iPad or laptop and check Roadtrippers as you go more fun than just sitting in the car 2. be flexible if you see something interesting stop often times you get a surprise free charger. We started looking online at around 2 PM for a hotel as before then we really did not know what town we would stop at. Ignore this if you drive straight through go for 40 minute charges. 3. Hotels with destination chargers save a lot of time 4. leave early each morning just coffee and go (unless you have a site to see) drive two hours charge during breakfast (45 minutes). Plan your charging with where you want to stop stopping just to charge sucks. You have the range to be flexible. 5. check your adapters before you go be sure you can charge at an RV park 6. Plugshare Superchargers and Tesla apps on your phones - be sure they all work 7. Hate to say it but don t trust Tesla with your tire pressure - check it yourself with a gauge 8. Learn AP if you have it. A very valuable highway tool but like any tool misuse will get you hurt. | 2020-08-21 17:49:34 | 33 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 21,223 |

I need some help from the community on where else I can turn. Basically I had a battery replacement for a damaged one which Tesla service bungled and now I have a battery with a capacity far lower than what I should. Timeline: August 2018: Took delivery of Model 3 April 2019: Drove over a rock hidden under some snow on Berthoud Pass in Colorado punctured the battery pack had the car towed down to Denver for service April 2019: Tesla found the battery pack was punctured let me know that I would need a replacement said they would order the pack and it would be here in a week or two. May 2019: Tesla called said they accidentally ordered a pack for the Model S rather than the Model 3. Tesla service apologized and said they would order the battery for the correct car. May 2019: Tesla installed model 3 replacement battery. Picked it up from service drove it home and immediately on the drive home started getting battery warnings saying the battery was faulty and I should stop driving. Had it towed back to service the next day. Tesla confirmed the battery pack was faulty and ordered a replacement. May 2019: Tesla installed replacement battery. Noticed that the range was significantly lower (displayed at 251 miles at 90% rather than the 280ish it was displaying prior). Mentioned that to the service center and they said driving around a bit should calibrate the battery. May-June 2019: Drove the car around conservatively for a while didn t notice any improvement (changed the display to percentage as suggested but whenever changing it back to miles still Showed about 250 miles at 90% range). Called Tesla they ran diagnostics on the battery and concluded that there were no faults. August 2019: took it in for service for an unrelated issue mentioned the decreased range once again and the service center said they would run diagnostics once again and found nothing. January 2020: took the car into get a replacement windshield once again mentioned the decreased battery range. Finally spoke to a battery technician and he mentioned that it was weird that the range dropped considerably when I had the pack swapped out. He said Tesla s policy was to replace the battery pack with not a new one but one that had a similar level of degradation to the one they are replacing it with. I then said that the last battery they took out of my car was the faulty one that ultimately had to be replaced which he mentioned was probably the one that was used to determine the degradation level of battery I should receive in my replacement. He said he would talk to HQ and see whether they could get the metrics off of the initial battery that was damaged from my car. February 2020: Tesla contacted me back and said that the logs were too far back and therefore even though they suspected that my battery pack had been degraded more than my original pack had that they could not do anything about it. March - present: covid and other fun things from this year stopped me from pursuing this any further. I really feel disappointed by how I was treated by the service center and that I repeatedly brought up concerns while they could still have pulled the logs from the original battery and I still want this to be corrected but I m not sure where else I can turn now.

Lease or CPO? | I have a model 3 reservation. Must be in the 170k -200k range. I am debating if 1. A 2 yr CPO of the base model 60 2. A CPO of 2013 S is around 45k 3. Just wait for the three. My current drive is not bad but would like a nicer car . Option#1 will cost me 17k over the 2 year lease. Not sure if option#2 will lose more or less. So if I sell a car in 1.5-2 yrs would it be worth less than 30k? ? Any thoughts? | 2016-09-10 23:37:47 | 10 | Wait. Put the amount of money you d be paying for a monthly payment lease payment into a separate account to have for the down payment for the 3.

Dallas Northpark Tesla Gallery to hold Model S test drive event for Model III reservation holders in May. | I scheduled a test drive on the day of the Model III launch a few months beforehand. About 2 weeks prior they called and tried to reschedule since it was going to be all hands on deck for the Model III reservations. Since I live 4 hours away I couldn t reschedule for the time that we would be in Dallas. Today I called the gallery to reschedule a Model S test drive informing the rep that I was a Model III reservation holder. He told me that the store was planning an event in May for Model III reservation holders that would include test driving a Model S. He took my information and said he would pass it along to the person planning this event. Has anyone heard anything about this? Is this just the Dallas store or nation world wide? | 2016-04-15 21:50:00 | 31 | I know the tesla showroom in Austin is doing the same thing. Unfortunately I m getting knee surgery in a couple weeks so I will be unable to drive a car during the window they are taking about so my wife and I scheduled a test drive earlier and they were very accommodating. Regarding what HowdyPowdy said for me personally I ve been excited about the prospect of a tesla for a long time but always knew it wasn t financially feasible so I ve tried very hard to temper my excitement. With the announcement of the 3 I decided I would see what my local showroom s policy was on test drives for someone planning on getting a tesla even if they knew 100% that it wasn t going to be an S and they said they were totally cool with it. I m taking this opportunity to start getting excited about something I actually have the financial ability to own by trying out some of the tech I can hope expect to see even if the performance will obviously be lower. I will be honest part of me was hesitant to even ask since I d be taking time from someone for something I have no intention to buy but I made that completely clear to the sales guy I talked to up front and he was more than happy to entertain the prospect so my wife and I decided to do it. | 2016-04-16 01:58:30 | 3 | Tesla test drive experiences | 4,798 |

Things that might seem broken to a first time Tesla owner | We just took delivery of our first Tesla (Model X 75D) yesterday. They called us yesterday (Friday) and said your Tesla has arrived and we ll schedule you to come in and pick it up Sunday. My wife was like we can t wait till Sunday we re coming over now LOL. So basically we rushed them so they still didn t have our account activated in their system etc. Consequently the GPS location detection didn t work yet and the Tesla app on our phone didn t work yet. We also didn t realize that the enhanced autopilot won t work until you ve driven at least 35 miles and the cameras have had a chance to calibrate. Unrelated the trunk would sometimes not close because it thought it encountered an obstacle - somehow this sorted itself out over time. Anyway after several hours once the app on our phone started working we knew our account was finally active in the system and then the GPS location started working! Also our odometer eventually reached 35 miles driven and then the autopilot stated working. One final note to successfully pair each of the 2 keyfobs with the correct user profiles we found that we had to take one fob far away from the car so that we could pair the other fob inside the car to a user. Hope all of this helps new owners out there. Loving our new car! | 2017-09-23 20:04:12 | 68 | I had the same issue with the trunk. It always seemed to detect an obstacle at the delivery and we scheduled a service appointment. But a few days later it was closing fine 50% of the time. By the time a week or so went by it was closing fine most of the time. Now it always closes correctly. I guess it just needs time to settle in? | 2017-09-23 21:22:00 | 26 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 20,976 |

[reminder] Installing software updates leaves the doors unlocked until you lock them yourself (tested on m3) | Tested again yesterday with the latest beta (32.12.2) software release on a model 3 doors where locked pre-update but remain unlocked for hours after updating mirrors remain folded so car looks locked. This is how someone broke into my car a few weeks back. I didn t think to test if sentry mode turns itself back on.

Old School Cool - Early Model S Meetup Photos - Includes Shots from the Tour de Tesla | After seeing a few old school Tesla Roadster photos posted I went through my photo bin and dug up [some early photos from the 2012-2013 Tesla meetup era](https: imgur.com a Faz3rsQ). Any love for the old nosecone? I also added [some photos](https: imgur.com CmIzqPl) from the Tour de Tesla an early meetup that was organized in September of 2013 in Southern California by T-Sportline and Al & Ed s Autosound early Tesla tuners. At the time it was [the largest gathering of Teslas](https: imgur.com xubKv1N) on record (there were well over a hundred I believe) and we did a drive from the Hawthorne Design Studio around Los Angeles Long Beach with an arrival at the Peterson Auto Museum in Miracle Mile. It was quite the event - with a police escort and helicopter chase cam. I am sure that video can be found somewhere on the internet. Seems like it would be a lot less hard to organize something like this today . . . | 2018-11-28 16:50:34 | 15 | The nose cone looks really dated now.

Quick tire wear on model 3 performance | I have seen posts before about Teslas going through tires like a hot knife through butter but I did not expect this... I have a model 3 performance with 18 tires and 13K miles. After taking it to the service the guy said I need new tires very soon. Yup... the penny test pretty much shows I need tires soon. Its amazing because these tires are rated for 40K miles but I m assuming the warranties on the tires does not extend to OEM tires. I m assuming its normal because what else would it be... right? I guess I need to lay off the accelerator but lets be realistic thats next to impossible to do with the instant torque. My next question.. I imagine I ll go through the next set just as fast so has anyone been lucky to claim tread wear warranty since 13K is almost 33% of the expected life of the tire? Edit: I did a rotation at 6K and didn t rotate at 13K because they re worn anyway. edit 2: I do some gravel driving too for skiing but thats barely 1 2 mile and no more than 20x a year. edit 3: The exact wear on the tire is 5 32 remaining which is about 50% of the tire so I guess it has a bit of life left but I can certainly feel the difference between this and when it had more. I m thinking I probably need to replace it at 20K. | 2019-10-28 18:26:46 | 5 | Heavy Car. Huge instant torque. Yep you wore the tires off of it. People who are used to buying expensive performance cars don t expect a lot of tread life from their tires. | 2019-10-28 19:25:28 | 29 | Model Y Wheel Options | 16,052 |
PSA: IL Plate Renewals active at new rate | EL plate sticker renewals are active for the DMV. They were unable to do them until this week apparently as they were surprised it worked. The unfortunate new rate is $251 for the year vs the old rate of $35 for 2 yrs. Was hoping I d be able to sneak one last renewal on at the old rate. The only minor nice thing is that my old plates expired 12 19 and the new ones are good through 1 21 so they gave me an extra month... For my extra $230..... Yay. New sticker is gold. Purty. | 2019-11-04 15:25:45 | 42 | I work in St. Louis MO and so does my wife... we lived about 20 min into IL. Literally THE DAY they even mentioned that they were considering the 1000.00 annual EV plate renewal fee I put my house on the market. We ultimately sold and moved to MO. I knew that they wouldn t hit the 1000.00 but I knew it wouldnt stay 35 either. There were a lot of other tax reasons that we left but Im glad we did. | 2019-11-04 15:39:42 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,828 |
What is considered a lot of miles for a Tesla? | Like for example 100 000 miles is a HUGE number for a Lamborghini or a Ferrari it s quite a lot for a Mercedes or BMW but it s practically nothing for a Toyota Corolla or a Lexus. I ve always been under the impression that Teslas are very reliable vehicles even approaching that of a Toyota Camry. However I saw this one YouTuber mention how a 2012 Model S that he bought had over 110 000 miles which he says is a lot for a car like that. I have the vague goal of buying a Model 3 or a used Model S in the future to use as a daily or to do food deliveries in (requires like 500-1000 miles per week of driving or \~25-50 000 miles per year). And P.S. - does Tesla still offer unlimited mile warranties? | 2020-09-06 19:22:03 | 89 | For me it s less about miles and more about what s changed with the car over the years. Personally I wouldn t buy an older S due to older MCU old camera tech other issues that could fail. | 2020-09-06 19:31:20 | 116 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,740 |
Does the Model S Plaid have 5G vs LTE? | I ve been looking everywhere but The Google isn t showing any articles about it. Thanks | 2021-06-17 22:25:17 | 15 | Unlikely. I work in telecom and manufacturers are still developing 5G modems for use in IoT applications like in car connectivity. We ll probably start to see 5G adoption by early 2022 or later. LTE and LTE-A are still very strong suitors and can push upwards of 1.5gbs network permitting. | 2021-06-18 01:25:10 | 49 | Car Software Update Connectivity | 5,542 |

Hopefully the 3 in Model 3 is for the number of car seats that can fit. | I have a Model 3 reservation (online before unveil). We have a 2-year-old and just found out yesterday that we ll be having twins in August. After Elon s comment on the wheelbase being too small for a 100 kwh battery I m worried it might be too small to fit 3 car seats. Does anyone have any information on how wide the back seats will be so I can start shopping around for car seats? In particular I was hoping someone that has seen the prototypes in person might be able to guess or relate it to another vehicle. I hate to cancel my reservation but if I can t get all 3 kids in at once it s just not practical. If it comes down to it are there any options for giving away a reservation? | 2017-02-10 16:07:45 | 8 | Twins are essentially redundant so for family outings just alternate which one stays home. | 2017-02-10 18:53:50 | 39 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 7,993 |
When will we see a FSD track loop? | With all of the advancements in FSD & AI when will we see a driverless Ludicrous or Plaid S rounding a track? There is a lot of human factor involved so why not let the computer be programmed to break lap time records? Speed G-force tire grip temp humidity etc could all be entered. Also it would knock off 200lbs from the weight of the vehicle. | 2020-09-24 16:18:47 | 10 | Not sure what it would prove when all the other track times had humans in. Many people would look at the track time as invalid. Taking the humans off the racetrack seems really backwards. I m sure in the future there will be AI tournaments but I don t think it ll gain many followers. Perhaps if you could grow it into an insane robot war destruction derby style racing that would be dope. | 2020-09-24 16:45:34 | 9 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 23,177 |
List of driver actions that result in training autopilot (and other neural networks) | EDIT: clarification of intent of my post stipulation that data collection is dynamic What actions can drivers take that cause autopilot to learn? The general answer I have seen involve disengagements which I have assumed mean only cases where the driver takes over in a situation that AP is not handling well. But AP is now getting to the point of handling most highway cases quite well but certainly not all cases in the same way we would as drivers. So I thought I would propose a list of actions and see if there s any concurrence on what ~~actually results in AP to learn~~ we know has been used already might have been considered and what we as drivers believe might be useful. (A given feature or capability may need more or less data than others. It is evident that Tesla can collect (or ignore) any subset of available metrics for a given car or set of cars based on arbitrary criteria potentially on demand but certainly after a new release. ) This potentially applies to Deep Rain (tm) Summon and other NN-controlled functions. Here s my straw-man list: Autopilot: * Driver forces control by turning wheel * Driver forces control by hitting brake (does magnitude matter? e.g. slamming brake) * Driver forces control by turning off AP using stalk control * Driver initiates lane change while on NoA using turn signal * Driver cancels lane change after NoA initiates using turn signal * Driver accelerates while in AP (does magnitude matter? e.g. phantom braking) * Car changes lane then changes back again within moments * Driver adjusts speed using scroll-wheel (or hits speed limit sign on display) * Car detects poor weather while in NoA then auto-wipers engage and NoA resumes Deep Rain: * Manual wiping using left-stalk button * Driver sets wipers from auto to fixed setting Advanced Summon: * I have only used this several times when new so don t have a good list. Do you? | 2020-03-15 03:39:38 | 13 | Just to clarify Autopilot does not learn in the car and it does not automatically learn based on any of these events. & #x200B From what Tesla has said the most that happens is that some of these events are sent back to Tesla. Tesla can also request specific types of events from the cars. They then either take manual action on these or add them to data sets used by the actual neural net training done by Tesla on separate computers. & #x200B If you haven t seen it already their Autonomy day video may be worth a watch: [https: www.youtube.com watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE) | 2020-03-15 03:51:26 | 15 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 10,900 |
Heavy Driving User Tesla Model 3 Review | I ve had my model 3 for 6 days now and wanted to provide some feedback for anyone who drives heavily regularly. I drive anywhere between 200-400 miles a day currently (less on some days of course where work load is light but summer is not one of them) and was worried how range anxiety would effect me. I also get very mentally tired from driving all day in city stop and go traffic. The model 3 has delivered above and beyond for me. 1. The Interior: The interior is amazing. The seats are extremely comfortable and fully adjustable for maximum comfort. You can also have multiple profiles for drivers if you have anyone else driving the car. Those change mirrors seat steering wheel etc. Interior storage is top notch. Something I haven t really seen mentioned is the containers at the bottom of the drivers & passenger doors are extremely spacious. In my 2016 Civic I could fit maybe 1 water bottle these can fit big metal water cups bottles & items such as hand sanitizer without any issues.The glossy black plastic in the middle was an issue but another reddit thread gave me the heads up on that. I purchased the 3M console wrap and that looks even better than what the car came with. Highly recommend putting something over the center console. The car feels significantly more spacious than the civic even though it looks to only be 2 inches wider. The interior definitely feels longer from front to back as there is a ton of room. As someone who spends multiple hours a day in the car this space is great. The center console storage space is large but not sure what I could put here. There needs to be some kind of organizer that breaks up the space a little bit. The screen has some significant glare to it during the day hoping once my windows are tinted that will help. 2. Driving: There is nothing like driving this car. I ve had 2 people get in the car this week that went and pre-ordered there own after. The instant torque is amazing and I can t imagine driving again without it. Auto-pilot in its current stage is almost necessary if you do large amounts of highway driving. I live in San Antonio and can currently get on the highway move to the center or left lane and kick it on and its solid. I am pretty trusting with AP on the highway as Honda Sensing w L-K-A & ACC did a decent job of a very basic version of AP. AP is considerably more advanced with tracking lane changing and general safety features. With Honda Sensing you have to be really close to cars before ACC will start to break. There is also a 2-3 second delay when someone merges into your lane before the car sees them.With AP there is almost none. I am still running 2018.18.13 so this is without the new multi lane tracking.In stop and go there is nothing like it. It will see the cars in front of you start to brake before you even do. The level of improved safety is top notch. The lane change feature is pretty neat and I enjoy using it when no one is around. I ve tested it when cars are pretty close to your blind spot it feels like the car will still attempt to change lanes even though you d either significantly cut someone off or hit them. We took a weekend road trip to Dallas autopilot was flawless most of the time. There are some areas where the GPS is off such as in Temple Texas so your car will randomly break to 45 MPH when you have semis behind you. Other then that I want to travel all the time by car now. We currently do not have a supercharger in town which hasn t been an issue as of yet but I definitely would be concerned about long days showing clients during main hours and then a surprise call with something to do in the evening. With a supercharger you could pop over and top off so this issue will be fixed once ours opens. 3. Issues: So far I ve had 3 issues. I visited the SC and they have been great. The first was wind noise so I ve seen the other posts about peoples top glass causing the wind noise. Mine was actually leaking at the bottom right passenger side where the windshield meets the dashboard. They are replacing the windshield and making sure it is extra sealed to help with the noise. My dashboard speaker that runs across the entire back of the dashboard will randomly start to crackle and sound like static. They apparently have a flag on that internally and are trying to work out the fix. The 3rd thing was a little more strange. I took my Model 3 through a touchless car wash when I entered the wash the under carriage spray caused my airbag system needs service light to illuminate briefly. It went away almost instantly both the 877 customer service number and the SC said it is nothing to be alarmed about. I still wonder what caused that sensor to trigger and if the bottom of my car has something that is allowing water in. 4: Over-All Thoughts: This is the best thing I ve ever owned. Bad financial decision or not if you can afford this car you need one. The amount of stress the driving assist features takes off of me alone was worth the purchase. I am no longer sweating it in traffic worried about what everyone else is doing. It s truly like having two sets of eyes. Heavy drivers this car is for you! | 2018-06-19 00:48:58 | 103 | 200 to 400 miles a day.. an average of 300 miles a day.. so you drive 110 000 miles a year? | 2018-06-19 01:05:05 | 17 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 7,758 |
Dashcam limit quirk | I was trying to decide whether the built in dashcam is reliable or whether to install a third party thinkware fa200. Playing with it last night I realized the USB didn t have any videos from the day s drives on it even though I know I didn t drive for an hour. Instead it only had one file in the TeslaCam folder from inside the garage. The root folder instead had fsck*.rec files. Playing these on vlc showed they are only last the last minute of each prior drive. Odd. Upon further investigation I realized that it was deleting old sessions but would keep manually saved sessions in 10 minute increments. I reread the firmware release notes and realized that when Tesla said that it would only save clips for an hour it didn t mean an hour of cumulative driving would be continuously rewritten like a normal dashcam. They literally mean one hour. If you clip is one hour old the car will delete it. If you took a drive at 12pm and at 3pm and check your USB at 5pm there would be nothing on it. I suppose this works in way I will keep multiple USB drives in the car make sure to manually save then unmount if I need to save something to make sure it doesn t get deleted then switch the USB stick. tl dr TeslaCam deletes clips of prior drives if they were before 1 hour ago. | 2018-12-12 16:23:39 | 40 | yes i have noticed this too | 2018-12-12 16:47:06 | 12 | Issues with Sentry Mode | 4,837 |

Feature request: tesla app with limited functionality | Use case: My 13 year old would like to be able to unlock the car. I do not want him to have the summon feature. I also do not want the car to auto unlock when his phone is near as he is likely to leave it in the car. App with limited functionality or roles to define would be nice.

Cargo Separator for 5-Seat Model X | I was excited to get the extra storage space in the rear of the Model X with only two rows of seats. Where the third row would be there is instead additional storage with it s own storage cover. The issue I m having is that the storage area is completely open with the original rear storage. When you hit the gas anything you put in there immediately slides to the back and into the deeper storage area. I d like some sort of separator or insert for that upper area to keep items I store in there separate from the rear deeper storage bin. Does anyone have suggestions? | 2019-10-29 17:33:00 | 23 | Our X is a 5 seater. The two times I ve needed to fill the 3rd row underfloor extra space I made sure the items I put in the deeper underfloor rear area were tall enough to prevent items from sliding from the shallow space to the deeper space. I ve considered making a separator with a Velcro bottom to attach to the floor to prevent this. I came to this thread hoping you linked to one. | 2019-10-29 18:24:37 | 8 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 3,716 |
