How do data plans for current Tesla owners and does anyone think it will change with the Model 3? | I d love to just tether my car to my phone or use my phone like a hotspot or something since I would not be using the phone while driving and it would make more sense financially. edit: clarification | 2017-08-02 16:41:49 | 15 | Not sure data will be included with the basic car. https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc attachments interiorpremium-jpg.239009 Looks like the premium package includes Two years of complimentary data connectivity | 2017-08-02 17:02:37 | 22 | Car Software Update Connectivity | 8,152 |
My test drive experience | So a few takeaways from test driving the Model S in preparation to purchase a model 3. Pros o The autopilot - Although I was nervous driving in Atlanta and having a truck beside me during autopilot was a bit sketchy but it is something I can get used to o ATT as the data source - As an ATT customer I was happy to see that this is free in the car. But I wonder how long this will last. o Regenerative braking - I find this to be awesome and I wonder exactly how much this produces energy though. For a first few stops it took me a minute to get use to but after awhile it was not as bad as I though. Almost like down shifting on a motorcycle. Cons O There are no hanger hooks O Suede upholstery - for a $90k car having that type of upholstery plus having kids is a disaster waiting to happen. O Poor view from rear view mirror - The mirror is not the issue. It is the actual rear window and how it slopes down where you cannot see out of it very well. You have to have the rear camera on in order to make it viewable from the driver seat. Overall I was satisfied with the Model S but a bit out of my price range at the moment. I am more focused on the model 3 and what it has to offer in the near future. | 2017-06-18 18:46:10 | 6 | Regenerative braking is the best. I gained 3 extra miles coming down a pretty long hill just yesterday. You can definitely get a very negative kWh mi by coming down the right mountain. Also I have never used the hanger hooks in any of my cars before this. Is it really that big of an issue when the trunk is so huge? Also the rear view mirror just use the rear camera on the upper portion of the screen. Much better wide angle that eliminates blind spots. | 2017-06-18 19:29:51 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 13,503 |
Burbank CA supercharger problems | Anyone else having problems at the new Burbank CA superchargers? I swing by here all the time to grab a little extra charge while my condo is under renovation. Most of the time I only get 30-45 kW of power while charging. I was under the impression even while sharing it should be 60-70 kW. Are these chargers broken or is my car acting up? I ve moved around to different spots in the lot and they all seem to be unreliable. Thank you! | 2019-02-16 04:46:05 | 9 | How cold is it?

Anyone else still waiting for HW2 software? | It sounds like this past weekend the switch was flipped and I should start getting some more features. I did get the update a few weeks ago that had short release notes like Features and enhancements which Musk confirmed was the new software with shadow enabled. Are there still lots of people with HW2 waiting for the update? Musk s twitter made it sound like it would be updated this past weekend. I am connecting to wifi at home and have a strong signal in the car. | 2017-01-24 16:44:53 | 6 | I got it this weekend. Of the TeslaFi users with AP2 53 have it (17.3.2) and only 11 are still on the shadow mode (2.52.120).

For those wondering if changing color effects your place in line it appears it does not. | I ve seen posts asking if anyone edited their order and still received their order in time to I just wanted to chime in a post my experience. I originally ordered a red RWD on 6 27 right when the gates opened(4 1 16 res) I ended up having second thoughts about the red especially with how slowly they seemed to be getting delivered so I edited my order this past Saturday to change it to white. Happy to see my edit button disappear last night and I had a VIN so it appears editing my order didn t hurt my timescale. The estimated date on my account was Oct-Dec after I edited. TLDR: edited my 6 27 red RWD order on saturday and got my VIN last night for white. | 2018-07-11 20:54:19 | 17 | nice!

Have Harrison Ford at the cybertruck event | Don t know if this makes sense. He cares about climate change. He has the old school coolness. He is in the blade runner. He may even own a Tesla. Harrison seems a good surprise to have. It will help to spread the hype. On the other hand it is hyping up so much already and it will be a couple of years before people can get the truck en mass. There may not be a need for it. Just think it would be cool to make this cybertruck event even closer to the blade runner. Don t know if it makes sense. Edit: Yes. As someone said Harrison can go all in by changing his last name to Tesla. | 2019-11-07 19:00:04 | 367 | Maybe also have him announce that he is changing his name from Harrison Ford to Harrison Tesla ) ) | 2019-11-07 19:26:58 | 267 | Revolutionary Tesla Cybertruck | 7,673 |
Tesla certified glass repair in Bay area | Hello all! My Model 3 got broken into a couple of weeks back and the rear passenger side window was shattered. Tesla service center does not take care of window replacements so they recommended a third party mobile service who say the parts are stuck somewhere in Pennsylvania and it will take a couple of more weeks for them to get it to the West coast. Waiting a couple more weeks means the car will be sitting in the garage for a month! I am looking for any suggestions from people who have had a similar experience and see if any of you have references for repair services in the bay area (Tesla certified). Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance. UPDATE: Went with Primer Auto Glass Dublin. The parts finally came in and they fixed it at my house. The window cost 530$ with labour. Mike from PAG said they can now order parts in bulk from Tesla so there won t be a huge delay for any new customers. | 2018-12-06 17:22:31 | 22 | Safelite did mine a couple weeks ago.

What s new with Tesla Energy? | It s been a while since I have seen anything about the powerwall in the news. How were the sales with powerwall? Is tesla designing a version 2 rn? | 2015-10-19 17:18:56 | 27 | On the Powerwall side things have been relatively slow. Last month Tesla started [installing some units at pilot customer s homes](http: electrek.co 2015 09 17 tesla-is-now-installing-powerwalls-at-pilot-customer-homes ).

Tesla Model S AWD on all-seasons vs. RWD on all-seasons vs. high performance gas car on snow tires in the snow | A quick bit of background. I currently daily drive a 2012 CTS-V wagon with snow tires on the winter. The snow tires are on their 3rd winter (on approximately 4-5 months of the year) so they may be getting a bit worn. I have not checked their tread depth recently. I visited the local Tesla store in Cleveland yesterday as a precursor to a second test drive next week (in which I attempt to sell my wife on the viability of us owning a Tesla by getting my kids hooked on it). I had taken a solo test drive last year when I was visiting Chicago without the family. It was snowing as it is wont to do in Cleveland. My primary questions for the visit were to compare cargo space between my wagon and the Tesla (as an aside they re virtually identical - same depth with the seats down. The Tesla cargo space is taller but the V s is wider. The slope on the rear glass on the Tesla is overcome by the addition of the frunk.) Okay back to the main point. They had 2 Teslas sitting out front hanging out available for quick test drives. One was a P85D the other a standard S85. Neither had snow tires equipped. With a dusting of snow on the parking lot surface I took both cars for a quick spin to see how the AWD compared to the RWD in acceleration and turning and to also compare them to my snow tire equipped car. The results surprised me. It was very clear with the AWD that acceleration was miles better. with the RWD the car shimmied and juddered under hard acceleration on the snow whereas the AWD grabbed traction a lot better. It was also a lot easier to break the RWD in corners and get a bit of drifting. Which is not a surprise. What did surprise me is how well both cars handled the snow as compared to my V. Braking between all 3 cars was roughly analogous and just as smooth and slide-free. Both the Tesla and the Cadillac have excellent traction control and ABS systems. However the Tesla will give you power back after it detects wheel spin long before the Caddy does. There s sometimes a significant lag before full power re-engages and it can be frustrating. The other benefits you get with AWD - the higher acceleration and better range offsets the $2500 cost difference between it and snow tires. Given the option living in a snowy but relatively flat area (like Cleveland) and wanting to buy only 1 I think it s perfectly feasible to live with AWD without snow tires. tl dr - AWD is just as good as snow tires in extremely limited flat parking lot testing when compared to a 556 hp V8 muscle car. | 2015-03-02 20:28:48 | 12 | There is no substitute for snow tires no matter how good or bad the car is. | 2015-03-02 21:39:12 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 19,181 |
Smart Air Suspension - What are the cons? Do any of you prefer the standard suspension? | Another pre-purchase question for the community. Wife loved the smart air suspension on our test drive but I m not convinced it s a requirement. In my mind it s one more thing that may go wrong down the road but I do understand it having a benefit. Owners what are your thoughts on the standard suspension vs the smart air. Worth it? Thanks for all your help and opinions. | 2016-05-07 12:41:05 | 73 | Ex-employee. Driven a ton of different configurations. Skip it. Air suspensions are notorious for breaking regardless of the automaker. The only time you need this is if sedans tend to bottom out on your driveway. Otherwise you ll never notice the difference. | 2016-05-07 13:56:29 | 71 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 17,302 |
Superchargers on onroute 401 407 | There seems to be a lack of superchargers in ontario. The only one I could find is at the Lawrence dealership. I am surprised they haven t built a few at the onroute stations which would be ideal for long commutes. There definitely needs to be a few that are accessible from various exit points on the 407 401 and around downtown Toronto. Hopefully they start adding more soon. | 2016-08-13 13:44:14 | 6 | I believe that is because Superchargers are intended for road trips not local travel. My model S carries more than enough charge to drive around the GTA most of the day and they only really become needed once you head out of town. This is covered when you head out of town going north (Barrie) West (Woodstock) South (Grimsby) and east (Port Hope). There is no reason to put Superchargers in the GTA other than to have locals take advantage of free electricity and that is something Tesla tries hard to discourage. | 2016-08-13 14:22:00 | 9 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 18,030 |

Partial premium interior vs premium interior | Future Tesla owner here. I m wondering is there any noticeable difference from the partial premium interior on the SR Model 3 vs the Long range Model 3 premium interior? Also is there a way to get more custom with my order? Like spec out a SR Model 3 with premium interior? Doesn t appear so on the site but it s the worth the ask. I don t need crazy good mileage and the better 0-60 is just an added bonus but I don t want to spend extra on a model that doesn t really benefit me specifically. Also side question. How s everyone s experience with trading in they re vehicle to put money towards their car? Did you get what you were expecting? Sorry for the question dump. I m just really looking forward to this and want to have all the facts I can lol. Thanks in advance. | 2020-07-04 11:25:44 | 11 | You can t get SR+ with a Premium Interior. Partial Premium Interior * No foglights * No footwell lights (disabled in software) * Less speakers amps no sub * 30 trial for connectivity vs 1yr from LR P trims * Rear seat heaters disabled by default but you can pay to enable them Get as much battery as you can afford is my advice that s the part that really matters. I have SR+ and it let me save 15k on the vehicle cost due to tax incentives etc. Ultimately 15k after tax dollars goes way further for our family elsewhere so we decided SR+ was the true value get. | 2020-07-04 12:13:00 | 31 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 15,034 |

Following-distance settings (1 - 7) | I am hoping to get some help with understanding the following distance settings. I have read many previous posts and have found them to be somewhat helpful but still not answering my question. Does anyone know how these settings can be translated to following-gap in seconds . For instance how long does the car take to reach the car ahead when on setting 1 as opposed to the setting 7? Would like to know the time gap as opposed to the distance gap . Any experiences or findings on this would be super helpful.

Sales tax on software unlocks upgrades | I asked this in a previous thread but the thread wasn t very big. My question is for anybody that has done a software unlock on their tesla. Were you charged sales tax for the upgrade and which state do you live in? I am most interested in the state of Maryland since that is where I live but it looks like it will be a moot point according to this map http: taxfoundation.org blog states-sales-taxes-software. Five states don t charge any sales tax. Maryland only charges sales tax on retail purchased software. I m curious if software unlocks upgrades for a tesla are considered canned or customized software Edit 11 14 2016: it looks like sales tax is collected when purchasing a battery upgrade (presumably other unlocks are taxed as well). This [user](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 5bt1vt first_time_ive_seen_this_before ) lives in Colorado and the upgrade was $9 261. The sales tax in CO is 2.9%. | 2016-10-19 16:31:06 | 11 | As an OR resident what is this sales tax you speak of? ) JK i know what it is I used to live in Alameda CA which was basically $9.50 for every $100 spent.

Mini review of Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) in 2018.42.2 19e7e44 with video clips. | Right off the bat I want to say that in my opinion Navigate on Autopilot is a hot mess. It shouldn t have been released yet and I won t be using it at all until some major issues are fixed. When it does work though it s incredible! Most of the time there s some serious issues. Some slightly dangerous. Here s the full video with specific parts called out in the review: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM) Here are things I m looking at. **Bolded** items have changed or are of note since the previous version I reviewed (2018.39.6 8377b4d). \-------------------------- 2018.42.2 19e7e44 (Software v9) * **Lane changes.** The lane changes themselves haven t changed much really since the last version. They got better in the last version but now with NOA in Los Angeles traffic I m finding the lane changes most often are not aggressive enough when using NOA. I d actually prefer if the settings for NOA (mild average Mad Max) were for the speed and aggressiveness of lane changes instead of a setting for how often the car changes lanes to stay near your target speed. I keep finding myself getting annoyed with NOA and lane changes because it s too timid and slow. I also had a number of times where once I moved into the next lane the car would slow down slightly! This is the last thing I want when changing lanes in front of someone! Even if the car needs to slow down to reach my set distance from the car in front of me do it a few seconds after I ve been in the lane otherwise it just seems like I m cutting people off! Also I ve had a few times where I noticed fast approaching cars in the next lane and AP waited until it passed before merging. Even after confirming the lane change with a stalk pull AP still waited for the fast approaching car to go by. I was surprised it handled these well. 4:27-5:08: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=265](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=265) I had a few other times where it didn t seem to notice them and started it s usual slow and timid lane change and I had to take over and slam on the accelerator to avoid cutting off the fast moving vehicle. Continuing on this subject please read below where I comment on merges lane changes with cars along side. * **Trying to turn right toward off-ramps.** This has pretty much gone away in this and the last update. Now when using NOA it REALLY isn t an issue. I no longer worry about the car ducking for an off ramp fork when passing one. * Ping ponging left and right within a consistent lane. * **Hunting left and right when lanes change width or when lanes merge.** This is still mostly an issue but I ve had a few times when NOA was active where the car stayed toward the left side of a widening carpool lane likely because it knew I was continuing ahead in that lane. Very cool when this happens! 0:54-1:23: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=53](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=53) * Hunting left and right when lane lines momentarily disappear. * **Hunting left and right when lane lines re-merge.** The car still centers itself in the lane giving the appearance to others like you re trying to block them when passing an on-ramp. Was hoping this software update with NOA would fix this. * Hunting left and right when cresting hills. * Lane line confusion when driving over seams in road or discolorations in road surface. * Tracking car in front when no lane lines are present. * Driving through intersection stability. * Handling large high speed interchange curves. * **Handling tight interchange curves.** NOA can now handle the tightest interchange on my test route though the largest issue remains of having to take the interchange ungodly slowly. Too slow for most Los Angeles drivers and I get people up close behind me and for good reason. This slow speed in these interchanges makes NOA rather useless on these sorts of interchanges. 2:46-4:06 - Nav on AP handling a fork a really tight interchange and a merge: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=164](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=164) 5:08-6:00 - Nav on AP handling a really tricky series of forks then taking a tight interchange too slowly: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=306](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=306) * **Hesitating when changing lanes on a curve towards a vehicle.** With the side and repeater cameras now active autopilot is now much more confident with these. * Phantom braking for roadside or overhead signs. * **Capable of showing two cars in front of you.** In an edit of the last review I noted that the car can detect up to 3 cars in front of me if they re staggered in the lane diagonally. The NN seems to be able to distinguish 3 separate edges of vehicles! * **Capable of showing cars in adjacent lanes.** This has gotten smoother and more reliable in this update but still isn t perfect. Often times I ll be stopped behind near vehicles and they won t show up in the AP display at all. * Capable of showing different types of cars. * Capable of showing speed limit signs. * Stopped car detection. * Time waiting to accelerate from a stop. * No shuddering “jerky braking” at low speeds. * **Handling off ramps or interchanges between highways.** NOA has missed off ramps many times and I ve never once had the automatic “no confirmation required” off ramp lane change that people have been experiencing. 4:06-4:27 - Nav on AP not taking an off ramp lane change automatically: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=244](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=244) My biggest annoyance with the handling of off ramps or getting on interchanges is that NOA waits till the last second to tell you to get over into them. In Los Angeles traffic this basically means you re either going to miss your exit or are going to have to turn off autopilot and be a jerk to everyone and cut in last second due to the density of cars. I ve noticed the way that I handle upcoming off ramps and interchanges which is to get into those lanes a LOT father ahead of time. Often times as soon as the lane is available I ll jump in and be patient. **NOA needs to have an option to start getting onto off ramp or interchange lanes many more miles ahead of time.** There were so many times I would have gotten into the far right lane but NOA kept suggesting going to the far left lane. NO! Advanced autopilot capabilities: * **Handling freeway interchange decisions most specifically forks in the road.** These are great with NOA active! There are several forks on my route and NOA manages them well. 1:23-1:42 - Nav on AP handling a high speed fork: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=80](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=80) 5:08-6:00 - Nav on AP handling a really tricky series of forks then taking a tight interchange too slowly. [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=306](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=306) A lane change is suggested just before a fork and a pull of the AP stalk confirms going into the correct side of the fork. The display doesn t really show the fork properly yet and I d imagine in future updates we ll get graphics showing an actual fork in the lane lines on the display. There s one special spot in my test route where the carpool lane suddenly becomes two lanes. You have to pick a lane. They both stay carpool lanes. Autopilot has always had trouble with this spot and I was really expecting NOA to finally nail this scenario. As you can see in the video at 1:42-2:14 - [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=101](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=101) it handled it really poorly this time. Major swerving and a disengagement by me to keep the car in line. I would have assumed NOA would know to stay in the left-most carpool lane since it knows my navigation route. * **Handling merges with vehicles along side car (slowing down or speeding up to fit).** I also tested triggering a lane change when someone is directly along side me to see what the car would do. Most of the time it would neither accelerate or decelerate enough to do anything and it would give up or stay in the position forever. Sometimes it would slow down a bit aggressively and get over. Most often it wouldn t and certainly not quickly or with grace! 2:14-2:46 - Autopilot attempted and aborted lane change with vehicle on right side: [https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=132](https: youtu.be 3SUK2KtT4IM?t=132) * Handling last second or close proximity merges. * **Detecting and reacting to other vehicle turn signals during merges.** It s now really obvious with NOA that we re really going to need this soon. There were a few times people were trying to get over that the car should have detected their turn signal and slowed down just ever so slightly. Instead I looked like a dick not letting them in when I could very easily have done so if autopilot wasn t driving. * Completely automatic intelligent lane changing outside of interchanges. * **Navigation and lane choices.** So many times I couldn t believe the lane choices and navigation choices NOA was making. So often it kept wanting to send me into the far left lane when an off ramp or a interchange was coming up or when the middle lanes of the highway were wide open and moving plenty fast. Even with the NOA setting of “Mild” it still suggested lane changes when it really just wasn t needed. I d also love to have an option of picking a few navigation routes at some point as suggested by another redditor here recently. Sometimes a route might technically be the shortest or even the fastest but if it sends me intentionally into dense slow traffic for it sometimes I d rather take a longer farther route with no traffic. \-------------------------- **Notes:** The BIGGEST issue I have with navigate on autopilot in my car are these random slow downs I m constantly getting. They re really dangerous and has already caused many annoyed drivers behind me to go around me aggressively. It seems to always happen when the car wants to make a lane change. It also seems it might be a GPS bug when passing over under near side streets or on ramps. The car slows down from my set speed to somewhere around 50mph. When driving 75-80mph in the left or middle lane with a semi truck behind me this sort of thing is startling and nerve racking. It turns into a fighting match with the car as I hold down the accelerator to maintain my speed occasionally releasing the pedal to see if it s gone back to normal and finding out it hasn t and slowing back down again. I ve had to turn off autopilot many times because of this. 4:47-5:08 - Example of sudden slow down issue.

I won t be using navigate on autopilot at all until these issues are fixed.* & #x200B 0:00-0:54 - Onramp onto highway demo.

I like to keep the mini-media player at the bottom of the screen and I noticed today it started remembering to keep it small when I get in the car! Anyone notice this? This was one of my biggest littlest annoyances with V9. Fixed! | 2018-11-01 00:54:29 | 17 | You are 100% correct. I have encountered all of these issues in Atlanta as well. I would add poor HOV planning to the list. It doesn t know whether to stay in HOV or depart and often when it departs it s far too late to make the exit. This feature is not really even close to beta quality unfortunately. It s super cool when it actually works though! | 2018-11-01 01:52:52 | 5 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 11,479 |

Here are some thoughts: * First the car is STUNNING to look at. * The car “orientation” was very helpful and pretty much covers most technical items on the checklist. * The financing aspect could have been better. Long story short I financed and “paid” my down payment via ACH it turned out it wasn t paid and I had to pay again via ACH. They said it went through in the end and I got my car. I was able to download the Tesla app and see my new car even early on in this fiasco so there s that at least. * The screen had scuffs scratches and looked terribly colorful with sunglasses until I took off the screen protector. Turns out the screen was perfectly fine underneath that subtle film which I somehow didn t notice until sunset later. * There was some extra wax on the sonar lids that they removed for me on the spot. * The car has AMAZING kick to it when moving! Seriously it s a no-lag instant above-average acceleration at any speed. It was dangerously fun to do on the highway and I had to reduce my speed quite a few times. * Autopilot started to work at 41 miles. I laughed in glee and disbelief as it drove itself at 70 mph along curvy highways. * Regen is more aggressive that I imagined - like medium braking. I enjoyed it because it enabled one-pedal driving. * The sales rep told me that I have to schedule a follow-up appt to install the front plate later when I get it. My Tesla account now showed the ability to schedule my car and appointment times unfortunately overlap with work: M-F 8am-6pm. It s the price you pay for a Tesla I guess. * The interior had no flaws and I m really happy with how everything felt and functioned. * The car is an absolute dream to own and that giant screen is perfect for navigating. This car feels to other cars what the iPhone felt like to other phones when it first came out. They re going to be endangered species soon! * The sound is SO GOOD! It beats other “premium” sound packages by a lot. * I m shocked by the number of settings you can change. Steering to stiff? No problem- make it looser. Acceleration too much? No problem- make it “chill”. The car is awkwardly still in drive? No problem turn on “creep”. It s really cool how much leeway you have in customizing your car s performance with a few taps. Lastly here s a picture of my boyfriend and me seriously happy with this car: http: imgur.com 9YbAVmH | 2018-04-17 07:19:13 | 30 | Growth and Moderation of r/teslamotors | 2,125 |
How do all you UK Tesla owners find long distance travel with the limited amount of supercharges we currently have? | I ve noticed the investment in the UK supercharger network seems to be lacking compared to other countries. Is the amount currently provided sufficient for long distance travel or would you like to see more on the major roads? | 2017-04-12 00:48:02 | 5 | I don t live in the UK but what is the distance between London and Edinburgh? 350 miles? (560km) How many supercharger can they possibly need. Tesla s website shows at least 30 Superchargers running the whole length of the country. | 2017-04-12 05:14:45 | 7 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 8,150 |
Hypothetical warmup time vs efficiency | At what point does it make sense to warm up your battery ahead of time? I only have a 15-20 minute commute to work and while I m at home and plugged in I can set it for Scheduled Start. So that s not a problem. But at work my car sits out in the cold for almost 9 hours. I can pre-heat the cabin and battery but at what point does it take more energy to pre-heat than it saves in having more regen? I m sure there s a tipping point but I m not smart enough to figure that out based on the outside temp and pre-heat time vs. driving time. Note: There are no places to plug in at work so this question would be a closed system. How long would I need to drive (assuming mixed highway local) for the regen to offset 30 minutes of pre-heating? I was just wondering this because with the winter coming when I leave work I have so many dots I basically have zero regen for the entire trip home. | 2019-11-18 12:04:52 | 19 | Since you aren t going to be concerned with range this is really going to be down to personal preference (how warm you like the cabin). It s never going to be more *efficient* to preheat your car enough in order to have full regen on your commute. They say full regen is less safe in the winter anyway. If you don t care about efficiency from the wall and or want the greatest range then preheating on HI for a while should help but you d have to do it even longer before your ride home (losing any range gains) Personally I just preheat the car when I brush my teeth in the morning and hit it again when I m about to leave my desk at work. If it s cold enough outside I won t have regen on my entire 40 min commute home but at least I m comfortable with the cabin temp. Consider this if you preheat for 30 min both before and after work then you ve just consumed more energy than your entire commute. | 2019-11-18 12:20:34 | 28 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 8,717 |

Seriously thinking about picking up a new 2019 Tesla Performance with free supercharging | I been wanting a Tesla for a while but 130 price tag was too high now that it is 99k :) (i know) I want to pull the trigger got couple of questions 1. Always using super charger. I u defat and it is bad for you battery and it reduces battery life but the battery life on a Tesla is 25 years if I loose 3-4 years I am ok with that bec I am probably not going to keep the car for that long any way. I have a super charger about 3 miles from my house and if 15 min gets me 180 miles I am happy man my commute is about 70 miles total so I can charge on the way back from work. 2. At home charging is not that expensive either as we have 11 cents per kilowatt so if I have to I can charge at home I just don t want to pay to get the 60-80kw charger installed at home I was quoted 4-5 grand as there is no direct route to my garage from my basement power junction. 3. Can Tesla change their mind about free supercharging has anyone read the fine print? I thought Elon Musk said no more free super charging but I just talked to Tesla and looks like Model s has been getting free supercharging for life since the beginning of this year. Not sure how long will it last. 4. Tesla says they “simplified” the option and everything is included in the two trims they offer performance and range. Did they really pick the best options or did they go with the lower level options? Like sound system is important to me so did they stick with premium sound system or they chose basic? Bec fully loaded price used to be 125-130 k but now is 99k so wondering where did the savings come from? 5. Is there any new tech coming that I should wait out for. Elon said nothing major is coming but it is Elon so. Are there any hardware differences between different model years that are documented? I understand the same software goes to all cars but does it become slow and laggy on older years? 6. I read Apple integration is very poor all I want is Bluetooth audio and controls from steering don t much care for Apple car play as I hate having to plug in the phone. 7. I understand ludicurous mode requires battery heat up etc. so how useable is it? Any of you take your car to a drag strip or an actual racing track? How soon does the batter go if you drive it like you stole it? 7. Any other advice? | 2019-11-25 22:32:43 | 14 | 1. Frequent supercharging might degrade your battery quicker but I haven t seen that confirmed. Avoid charging to 100% unless you need it as that puts the most wear on the battery especially letting it sit at 100% in the heat. I ve done about 30 000 miles of road trips around the USA using superchargers. My battery has about 11 or 12% loss at almost 120 000 miles. 2. You don t need to install a charger. Your mobile adapter can plug into any electrical outlet. Getting a 50Amp 240Volt outlet installed in your garage would be great. 3. They haven t so far. They will contact you if they think you are abusing it. 4. I don t know 5. Tesla is always improving their vehicles sometimes 20 changes in a week. The car made next week may have better tech than the one made today. That is always the case. Buy when you re ready and happy with what you are buying. 6. Bluetooth audio works 7. Ludicrous+ requires battery heating. Regular Ludicrous mode does not require battery heating and can be always-on. I don t have Ludicrous mode. I do drive my car hard. Still going great at nearly 120 000 miles. 8. Don t get yourself into a financial bad spot to buy your dream car. If you can do it soundly then enjoy :) If it s too much consider a used one or a performance Model 3. Also consider tires. 21 wheels get damaged more easily and the tires wear out quicker. I swapped my staggered 21 wheels for 19 wheels shortly after buying the car. Haven t regretted it. | 2019-11-25 22:42:57 | 10 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 17,022 |
150kw Charging on Model 3 mid-range? | Hey all & #x200B I just got the update that apparently has 150kw charging but didn t see anything in the changelog about it (just battery warm-up) & #x200B The superchargers near me on the map now show up to 150kw on them when they didn t before-- but I keep hearing that the smaller mid-range battery makes it so you can t actually get those charging speeds? & #x200B Have any of the other mid range owners experience faster charging speeds after this last update? | 2019-05-23 17:27:04 | 14 | LEMR owner here. I don t get the 150kw speeds either. I do however see improved charging speeds on mph hr. I hit a peak of 500mph hr which is consistent with the larger battery packs charging speed. | 2019-05-23 17:39:00 | 8 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 302 |
Wall Socket Charger Issue? | [Link](http: www.valuewalk.com 2014 01 tesla-adapters-home-wiring-problem ) “One of the potential issues that could cause the NEMA 14-50 adapter to catch fire and melt is failing to lock the adapter into the universal mobile connector since leaving even a small gap there could heat up the adapter and eventually melt it. Another possible reason is having too many amps going through. It this occurs the circuit breaker should trip meaning that the power is turned off so that the circuit doesn t overheat. A circuit breaker trip can occur as a result of an overloaded circuit a ground fault or a short circuit. This means that the adapter could have melted because of faulty circuit breaker that didn t trip when too much electricity started running through the same circuit.” “There could have been a wire somewhere in the wall socket touching a metal screw or some other metal part a situation which is highly likely to cause a fire. Also an overloaded circuit can be the reason as well. If your home has old wiring that is in bad shape or it doesn t has the capacity to withstand the electrical loads from multiple appliances being plugged in at the same time chances are that a fire can occur at some point especially if you install an additional outlet and use it to charge your electric car. In addition short circuits caused by poorly insulated wires can cause fires too.” | 2014-01-12 00:12:48 | 6 | I think the wall plug adapter end of the universal mobile connector is kind of poorly designed. If you ve ever swapped out the plug adapter you ll notice there s a metal retaining clip that moves when the button on the UMPC is depressed. Unfortunately it seems that the retaining clip can become deformed bent when switching plug adapters since it s basically a fairly thin fragile metal plate - it s basically a metal plate with a square hole in it. This would keep the plug adapter from going fully into the UMPC cable which might cause the heating issue. I have encountered this issue (fixed by bending the retaining clip back into position with needle-nose pliers) and a quick Google search showed that a number of teslamotorsclub posters have also had this issue. | 2014-01-12 00:42:40 | 3 | Tesla charging port locking | 22,195 |
Speculations about part 2 of the M3 unveil | Elon tweeted [2](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 715307847890903041) | [times](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 715765746429784064) that part 2 of the unveil will take it to the next level. Here are some speculations: * it has nothing to do with Autopilot. Sure there will be great news about Autopilot in the future but that s about all Teslas and not Model 3 specific. * It could be about more expensive top versions. Maybe there will be an option with an incredibly high range or an option with similar speed acceleration specs to the S90DL * It could be about a different form factor (e.g. wagon) but I don t see how this is next level. What are your speculations? | 2016-04-01 19:28:50 | 9 | I really do think the next level event (as EM referred to it) is going to be an announcement of Level 4 autopilot. Reasons: - He s previously said that Tesla should have [fully autonomous driving by the end of 2017](http: gas2.org 2015 12 23 elon-musk-says-level-4-system-ready-in-2-years ). - AP v2 is going to require new hardware what better time to debut it than with the Model 3? That s how it s related imo - EM explicitly said next level which might be alluding to [autonomous driving levels](http: cyberlaw.stanford.edu blog 2013 12 sae-levels-driving-automation) - The Model 3 interior is really minimalist and lends itself to autonomous driving. No dashboard instrumentation cluster and a perfectly centered screen. Or at least I hope it is :( | 2016-04-01 19:47:41 | 10 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 17,660 |
Not rated for towing | So i went ahead and did the thing. Torklift ecohitch. Towing a mypod by Little Guy. 110lbs tongue weight 650 trailer weight. I realize this is not advised. Any risk of structural damage? Range is about 60% vs not towing. So far I m really happy with the performance. https: i.redd.it 1p78xjlyj5d11.jpg | 2018-07-30 21:20:47 | 40 | Exceeding towing limits puts you at danger anyone in your car and everyone else on the road in danger. Watch towing YouTube videos. I am assuming you are exceeding the limits even approaching the limits is not advised. The forces a trailer can put on a tongue are intense. You will stress the metal in your rear end and over time stress fractures will form. In an emergency maneuver you will be in trouble. I have towed for many years. Even following all precautions and staying below limits trailers can still be dangerous. | 2018-07-30 23:01:29 | 22 | Hitch Bike Rack Review | 14,178 |
NOA on 2019.20.1 | Took a short 20 mile drive today with NOA on 2019.20.1 set lane change frequency to mad-max and set no lane change confirmation. I was really impressed with it. Did not cut anyone and handled some lane changes exactly like a human would. No phantom breaking experienced as well. The only thing that is slightly annoying even on mad-max is when it sees a lane opening and your exit is coming up it does not slow down and get into the first opening it finds it waits for the exit to come close and tries to lane change. Another annoying part is when it tries to take exit and if the exit is to the right it wont try to slow down it maintains speed takes the exit but as a result of that I get an annoying swerving to the right side NOA ends and it still tries to go to the left hand side which I find annoying and dangerous sometimes on right exits. (Anyone experience this?) Looks like its improving with every release but still not there yet. | 2019-06-15 01:06:19 | 33 | Setting NoA to Mad Max does not make the system behave more aggressively in terms of merging into gaps or when it chooses to change lanes to follow a route--it only changes the threshold for when a car in your current lane is considered to be going slow enough below your set speed to be worth changing lanes to pass. | 2019-06-15 01:51:47 | 24 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 13,568 |
DIY: Turn your Model 3 keycard into a key puck for oceanic activities (water proof and impact resistant) | I had been surfing with my keycard in a silicone sleeve on a lanyard but the card broke last week. Luckily it did not strand me outside of my car. I melted the key in a glass of acetone and then subsequently cast it in polyurethane sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass cloth. I used a disposable paint palette as a mold (cheap). The result is quite robust kinda cool. I ve seen more surfers in model 3s recently where I surf so I wanted to share this. So we already know that we can extract the coil and implant it. Maybe there s nothing new here if so mods please delete. I thought it was a fun project that took perhaps 15 minutes. If you surf Sano and want to know more come talk to me. I m the guy in the MSM dual motor with the Tesla racks. Edit: You probably don t need to add fiberglass cloth if you don t drill through it. Also make sure to pour some resin in before adding the first layer of fiberglass - otherwise you may trap air under the cloth and it ll form a pocket. Edit: I wasn t communicating clearly: my original keycard broke from repeated stresses since I had it laying against my chest when I paddled. The chip card actually broke into two (about 85-15) at the chip but it failed outside of the water. I dissolved a new card not the original card. My bad.

Tesla navigation: just show me the guidance view immediately! | When you input an address and start the nav it shows an overview for several seconds before smoothly and slowly switching to the guidance view. This can be irritating in certain situations because you can t see which way to turn for several seconds. So feature request: if the car is in drive just jump to the guidance view instantly after the address is input. Or at least make the overview go away much faster. More complicated logic could be used based on how close the first turn is. | 2019-07-25 23:27:14 | 14 | You can just tap the directions box and it ll minimize the overview | 2019-07-25 23:37:56 | 23 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 20,028 |
Test Drive? | I love Tesla cars but I know I can not afford one for a very long time if ever. My question is could test drive one just to get the chance to drive an amazing car. Do I need one of those cars that say you are entitled to one test drive. Does the store in the Eden Prairie MN store have cars to test drive? I will be in the Twin Cities in two weeks and his would be a great time to test drive one if I could! | 2014-08-25 03:22:40 | 6 | You can set up a test drive no9 problem.

Tesla Model Y coming to Europe in 1.Q in 2021. -100.000 cars for Europe- | The Grapevine is whispering too loud that there will be shipments of **100.000 Model Y to Europe in 2021 in the first quarter**.

Model 3 test drive in Denver or Vegas? | Update: Turns out all Model 3 s in Littleton are on hold for customers . Went there today and weren t allowed to do any test drives. Too bad too. There were over 15 Model 3 s in the lot (and inside) and WELL OVER 100 X s and S s. Much larger than the Cherry Creek dealer. I guess my hunt to test drive a 3 continues... ----- Hi all! Live in Colorado and heading to Vegas for a conference in a couple weeks. Where are Tesla 3s available to test drive? Haven t received a notification via email that it s available in Denver yet but curious about fitting a test drive in when I go to Vegas? Or is California the only game in town at this point? Thanks!! | 2018-07-17 21:33:02 | 6 | Also just FYI: Tesla in Salt Lake City called me today and told me that they now have a Model 3 available for test drives by reservation. Not a Performance AWD version but at least they have a Model 3 on display in the showroom and now one for test drives. Wish they were shipping less expensive standard battery models. Maybe next year that will be fun to see the price get down there along with OTA updates advancing EAP and FSD at the same time ideally. Lower price and more functionality to get away from the high frequency nagging hopefully. I counted 15 Model 3 cars at the Salt Lake Tesla location so deliveries are happening in Utah. They are right across the street from Salt Lake Valley Jeep which is also an awesome seller of great vehicles. Now we ll see how Jeep executes with the introduction of plug-in (hybrid) models planned by 2021. Could be interesting along with a good set of planned PHEV Porsche and Land Rover models like the Macan and Discovery with air suspensions for high clearance like the more expensive Teslas and Jeeps.

What s happening next to the Quartzsite AZ supercharger? | https: i.imgur.com q0erlay.png The vacant block next to the existing 12-stall Quartzsite site is being dug up. There is some equipment suggesting that it will get some V3 superchargers - at least 24-28 stalls worth by the looks of things. Not really surprising. However there is a lot of work occurring. What else could it be? Solar shades and battery storage? A cafe lounge? Pull through chargers (for the Cybertruck) or Megachargers for the Semi? I realise this isn t close to a major population centre (about halfway between Phoenix and Palm Springs) so probably not a lot will be able to check it out but if anyone reading this happens to be in the area - please visit the site and report back!

Just got my license and boss gave a GO for me to lease a Model 3 | Hey folks Recent follower here. I would like to ask your advice. I recently got my driver license at an age of 35. My boss was making jokes about it and was motivating me to get it all the time. Now that I passed I am allowed to choose my car which is a Midnight Silver Model 3 SR+. I live in the Netherlands btw. My boss insisted on not to get the self driving option. I must drive on my own for a while. If I do well I might be able to get it later for comfort . So this baby is gonna be my first car. For reference: I learned how to drive in a VW Golf 1.6 TDI manual gear shift and never sat behind any other wheel so far. I I am kinda scared to drive but everyone around me tells me that it s fun and I should just hit the road and ask for company to share rides. My current driving experience is like 65 hours in total including the exams and in-between tests. I am hyped and scared at the same time and don t know how to start. My commute to work will be around 150 km a day (75 km one-way) for 4 days a week and can t get a charger with decent capacity at home due to lack of crawlspace under our house. That was a huge bummer. What would you advise this newbie on the road with his Tesla? I am curious about what your suggestions are regarding: \- What is a must to have accessory in the car? \- Any tips on items for consoles e.g. separators chargers utilities? \- What should I watch out for on the road? \- Any tips or features that might be an awesome assistant for new drivers that are often overlooked? I heard the car comes without floor mats so got them ordered already. I am looking forward for your tips. Thank you! L | 2019-08-12 19:55:21 | 25 | Ask your boss to install a charger for you at work. | 2019-08-12 20:17:46 | 28 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 10,453 |
Do larger batteries supercharge faster? | Say a 75kwh Vs. 90 kwh if both spent 30 minutes at a charger at near empty would they both gain the same range or would the 90 kwh get more charge since the same % charge increase is more range for the 90 kwh | 2016-05-22 00:09:35 | 17 | More individual cells means the car can charge and discharge more power for the same given time period. | 2016-05-22 00:38:55 | 16 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 5,240 |
What constitutes a charge cycle? | Hope I m not abusing the good folks in this forum with all my questions. I m not getting a clear answer on what constitutes a charge cycle. According to Wiki: > Apple Inc. clarifies that a charge cycle means using all the > battery s capacity but not necessarily by full charge and discharge e.g. using half the charge of a fully charged battery charging it and then using the same amount of charge again count as a single charge cycle.[5] So if I charge & recharge 10% of my battery each day in 10 days will I have gone through 1 cycle? If not what does 1 cycle mean? Also is there any consensus on how many total cycles a 90kWh battery has? Thanks so much! | 2016-10-06 23:25:36 | 14 | Basically yes. The cycle life can be thought of as using 100% of the battery capacity over time. That can be 10% a day for 10 days 5% one day and 95% the next etc... How many cycles a battery can go through would be harder to determine and usually judged from life tests of the same batteries or the underlying cell. Typically on the order of thousands to multiple thousands of cycles prior to degradation that would be significant. (though storage of the battery and environmental conditions will cause this to change from pack to pack) | 2016-10-06 23:32:50 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,574 |

Will Model S refresh scrap the traditional dashboard? | As many of you know there s rumors of a Model S X refresh in the coming months year. Some of the Plaid models that ran laps at the Nurburgring were spotted with a [center display like a Model 3](https: www.teslarati.com tesla-model-s-plaid-variants-model-3-display-nurburgring-return ). This is a welcome change as the horizontal screen is better for entertainment however do we know whether or not they will keep the traditional dash as they have in current Model S X? When Tesla released the Model 3 it was speculated the lack of a traditional dash was a cost saving measure to compensate for the affordable pricing. It was well received however with the refresh of the S X the price should justify having a traditional dashboard as well as a screen. Does anybody know which will be the case when the refresh comes out? EDIT: Removed amp URL for normal URL. | 2019-12-30 16:30:02 | 39 | The new roadster prototype looks like it has a small display embedded in the strip in front of the driver. I like that design. It s minimalist but acknowledges that some display info should be in front of the driver. The S should copy that style so it s halfway between the current S and the 3.

NoAP: Switch lanes without confirmation. | i am a bit confused about NoAP: Switch lanes without confirmation. My expectation was that I wouldn t need to confirm the lane switch using the turn signal. However it actually pops up turn the steering wheel warning whenever it is tryng to switch lane on its own making it impractical to use the NoAP: Switch lanes without confirmation feature. is this working as intended? | 2019-10-17 03:59:36 | 6 | You aren t applying enough torque to the wheel.

Self Presenting Doors | What is up with the MS not getting any love? I thought I read that one of the main ideas behind the self presenting doors was for the upcoming full autonomy aka AP2. I get it that there are some bugs but have those not been ironed out in the regular driver passenger doors yet? | 2017-03-06 16:58:23 | 10 | trust me those doors are a p.i.t.a. Everyone complained about how the falcon wing doors were going to break and how they were going to be a maintenance nightmare but I love the falcon doors hardly have any problems with them. It s the self presenting doors that leave me asking how something like this was even allowed on a production vehicle. From my personal experience those doors have less than a 50% success rate of actually performing as designed. Sometimes I ll walk up to the X and the door wont open at all or it will not open wide enough for me to enter or when I m manually moving the door it will try to resist my motions. Just bad. If these problems have since been fixed PLEASE let me know and I will drive to my local service immediately to get this fixed.. but my point is there s a reason why it s not on the model S because it s gimmicky and they hate model x owners and they want to torture us. | 2017-03-06 18:16:19 | 10 | Model 3 phone key issues | 16,907 |
Feasible to import US model 3 to the Netherlands? | Is it feasible to import a US model 3 to the Netherlands for a year or two (then bring it back to the US)? * I know the warranties don t span country lines. What does that mean for service center usage or roadside assistance? * How do the different electrical networks affect charging the vehicle? Would there need to be any modifications to the car in order to charge it or are they just different adapters? * Is it simple to change the SIM card? * Any changes needed to tesla account for things like software updates? * Any mods needed for NLD compliance (e.g. rear fog lights) * Any other stuff I m missing? | 2019-03-10 02:26:22 | 5 | My Model 3 was totalled and popped up in Hungary after being repaired. Was talking to the new owner and he uses an adapter to supercharge which works just fine in Germany and Hungary. He is scheduled to have the modem replaced with a euro spec one so not a simple sim swap. Certainly a decent chunk of work but possible if you really want to make it happen. He did mention there is no warranty on the software though as by default Tesla will not send updates to out of region cars but they do have a form that let s you get the US spec updates even in Europe. | 2019-03-10 02:33:34 | 11 | Tesla Model Y Purchase Consideration | 6,376 |
From Autopilot to dry electrode tech to lithium-air batteries and superconductivity what promising breakthroughs most excite you? | For me it s the development of a new battery chemistry.

Model Y 3rd Row: Not as Crazy as You Think | I see a lot of “why bother” comments regarding the 3rd row of the Model Y. In Europe and Australia (and probably elsewhere) it s not uncommon for a small SUV to have a foldable 3rd row. For example this [2013 Hyundai Santa Fe is a 7 seater.](https: www.cars.com articles 2013-hyundai-santa-fes-third-row-cramps-its-family-friendliness-1420663093818 ) I ve personally sat in the back and it s not comfortable even for someone under 6 . However it comes in hand in a pinch. Now the Y isn t as big as the Santa Fe I m guessing that Tesla is won t have any trunk space (and less leg room) when the 3rd row is in use unlike the Santa Fe. This isn t to compete with a Honda Pilot or a mini van. I think it s to meet the European 3rd row market. However it s quite a shock for Americans. Which may be why you don t see a 7 seat Sante Fe here. | 2020-01-18 11:19:41 | 119 | Its for when the grandparent come to visit and you need some extra seats to get you 10 mins to the nearest restaurant | 2020-01-18 14:53:40 | 259 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 12,891 |

Before the battery died we were getting around 263 miles with a full charge. With the new battery we are only getting around 240 miles. Despite the warranty saying Tesla will ensure that the energy capacity of the replacement Battery is at least equal to that of the original Battery before the failure occurred Tesla really doesn t want to do anything about it which is disappointing. | 2018-08-09 23:22:52 | 11 | My P90x gets 240 on max charge. | 2018-08-09 23:57:01 | 3 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 24,340 |

The autopilot features should be lots of ooohs and aaaahs too. (I m certainly a bit jealous at not having those). Good luck with your choice! | 2014-10-22 01:14:40 | 6 | Tesla Model Comparison | 23,954 |
Maintainance question. | Does the Model S really need less maintainance? Are there no moving parts at all in an electric motor? Or other things that can go wrong with it? | 2013-10-03 06:34:24 | 7 | Almost certainly it needs less maintenance. Sure the electric motor will have a few spinning parts. And the Model S shares in common many parts with common cars. Shocks and tires for example will wear out and will need to be replaced just like on any car. The batteries may need a cooling fluid service similar to brake fluid. But think about all of the parts that a traditional car has that the Model S does not. Multi-gear transmission starter motor alternator belts pulleys spark plugs pumps and an engine which has whole assemblies of moving parts that need to be fed with valves protected by rubber seals to hold in oil and all sorts of other rubber bits that will wear out and decay. And oil changes in general. It s not just the Model S ask any Leaf owner and they ll say the same thing. A good friend of mine is a Leaf owner and he complains that the dealership keeps calling him to bring it in for service. To do what exactly? All they can come up with is a firmware update and tire rotation. | 2013-10-03 09:36:00 | 2 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 11,314 |
When will Tesla support CarPlay and Android Auto and otherwise improve the interior car computer? | Tesla is about to launch their most important product the mass-market Model 3. People who are buying the 3 will not be your typical early adopter like the buyers of the Model S who have been willing to ignore the fact that the S lacks a lot of creature comforts found in the luxury models offered by BMW Mercedes and Audi. However with the launch of 3 the increasingly outdated and poor feature set of the interior car computer and center console screen is going to be something that a lot more people will be experiencing and it simply does not hold up well against the offerings from even extremely cheap cars sold by the ordinary American Japanese and European carmakers. Things that Tesla needs to have implemented ASAP like I don t know before the 3 launches: (1) Android Auto and CarPlay. https: www.android.com auto https: www.apple.com ios carplay available-models Pretty much everyone is on board with CarPlay and Android Auto. Except Tesla. This is made more irritating by the fact that the built-in apps like Google Maps are increasingly outdated and feature-poor since they don t get updated nearly as much as the apps in your phone. It also makes simple things like media playback from your phone to your car more aggravating than it really should be in cars which are billed as the most advanced on the road today. (2) Media player overhaul. I realize that a lot of people insist on using the built-in media player in their car instead of streaming their music collection from their phones. Well the media player sucks. We all know it sucks. Elon knows it sucks. So why isn t it being improved? I can t possibly imagine that Tesla cannot spare like 1-2 developers to work exclusively on the media player and other built-in apps in the car especially since those wouldn t be the devs working the Autopilot or something to begin with. (3) Bluetooth support for AptX from Android devices. My separate thread about this lives here: https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 69c56q why_doesnt_teslas_bluetooth_support_aptx In general the Bluetooth on Teslas is kind of crummy. People complain about it refusing to reconnect properly all the time. Also it needs high quality music playback from Android. This isn t optional. I don t care if Elon only owns iPhones and probably hasn t touched an Android device in his life. This is not acceptable and will not be acceptable when the 3 becomes widely available and more than just Apple users in California own Teslas. (4) Automatic volume leveling based on speed. This is a pretty common feature in cars now from the $10k price point to the $100k price point. To put it quite simply the car automatically adjusts the volume of music based on how fast you are going which is rather nice. It s also kind of nice when the car automatically starts your music at a lower volume when you get in and leave instead of blasting your ears at the highway volume you had it set to when you got out earlier. (5) Navigation This is a big one since one of the primary competitive advantages of Teslas over other long range EVs is the Supercharger network. Google Maps does not show Superchargers and doesn t route cars through them. This is mainly a Google problem but since Elon apparently hasn t ever touched an Android device in his entire life he doesn t seem to realize this. It needs to be addressed. But the other problem is the built-in nav system which does have Superchargers is based on Garmin or something and isn t updated regularly. So you have to choose between Google Maps which is up to date but doesn t send you through Superchargers or the built-in nav which has Superchargers but is typically at least a year out of date because it updates like a conventional standalone GPS dash-mounted package that is only manually installed once a year because those devices operate offline. (6) Misc. Apps Well we know the media player is trash. The built-in browser is slow as molasses and outdated too. The radio is regularly criticized for being slow to change stations and starting with the 3 people are going to be buying Teslas who actually still listen to terrestrial broadcast AM FM radio. Honestly I feel like there is no one working on app development full-time at all in Tesla and that will not be a very good thing soon now. But again a lot of the problems with the built-in apps would be rendered moot if Tesla would just support Android Auto and CarPlay. I feel like I wrote a lot more than I meant to. But this is stuff that needs to be addressed before Tesla transitions from the tiny market of $100k+ ultra-luxury cars to the mass market of $35k cars. There is much more competition in the $35k space and most people will not be as willing to give up things just to buy an EV which should be treated as fundamental in the mass market as they would when they are early adopters of cars mainly sold to the rich. Also I sincerely hope and pray that the 3 will come with enough cupholders for all 5 people who will be seated in the car. That shit will not fly in the $35k mass market. It s a miracle that Tesla was able to get away with only 2 cupholders in a $100k+ car as long as they did but the early adopters are always more forgiving than the mass market. | 2017-05-26 06:51:05 | 84 | Android Auto in my Volt is amazing! I listen to radio from my home town through Tune-In Radio listen to audiobooks through Overdrive and have multiple music choices through apps (though not Apple Music). Seamlessly switch to Google Maps which works great. I wish Waze was an option but I ve heard it s coming. Also wish it would all happen over Bluetooth rather than needing to plug into USB. Many 3 buyers will be coming from Android Auto and Carplay. I hope the 3 supports both. I m used to AA and if it s not there and what is there isn t as good it will be a disappointment. (For me it won t matter much but for reviewers and non-fanboys it will be something to complain about and ever so slightly diminish the enthusiasm) | 2017-05-26 12:41:13 | 26 | Bestla Tesla Companion App | 23,161 |
Is there a turbocharger or supercharger equivalent to the electric vehicle world? If so does Tesla implement anything like this? | As in the add-ons for an internal combustion engine. I obviously don t mean something that performs an the same job since their purpose is gone with electric motors I just mean something that increases performance of the electric motor that isn t necessarily a standard on an electric vehicle. I realize Tesla probably has some of the best tech going into their cars so that s why I m asking here instead of at r electricvehicles. | 2016-04-08 23:35:56 | 7 | Ludicrous mode seems to be the equivalent.

Service department now not offering any loaners (Tesla or Enterprise)- Lyft only | Took my car in for service and asked for a loaner to get to work. Was told they are no longer offering loaners but would call me a Lyft. I was the first appointment of the day so it s not like people before me got them all. Two months ago they gave me an enterprise loaner which was better than nothing. With a loaner I can at least switch the car seats over and be able to pick up my kids from school. Can t do that now if the car is in the shop which unfortunately is not an infrequent occurrence. This was Devon PA. | 2019-03-28 14:14:40 | 63 | I have an appt in 40 mins.

Cost of ownership of buying Model 3 vs keeping my M235i. | Hi! I m on the fence for pulling the trigger on a Model 3 (AWD or Performance). To fully convince myself (**and my wife 📷**) I have done some calculations regarding cost of ownership of buying a Model 3 vs keeping my M235i. I bought my M235i in 2014 for 52K MSRP (paid cash). I got an offer last month for 30K. I anticipate its cost of ownership over the next 3 years to be about $22650 (including additional depreciation and maintenance). If I compare the cost of ownership of a Model 3 AWD ($19280) and Model 3 PD ($23920) the numbers are very close. You can see the breakdown of my calculation in [this spreadsheet](https: docs.google.com spreadsheets d 1cGNm8mwCjqtxGswh0C0jfxYROp6AcIrMSZ4yWf1a7_0 edit?usp=sharing). I would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks! | 2018-08-04 16:17:28 | 10 | There are many reasons to make this change but saving money is not really one of them. The car is still at least twice the amount of money you can expect from the sale. Cheaper to keep er . So should you do it? Yes. | 2018-08-04 16:20:36 | 33 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 4,188 |

CPO delivery estimates | I know this has been asked a few times but I have a slight variation on this question. It s a two-part question actually: 1. How long was your delivery estimate on your CPO and how long did it actually take? 2. Did you pay the $2 000 delivery fee or was it Free Delivery because the CPO location was within your region? I ask because my CPO was a free delivery as the CPO was in my region but is still 700-miles away from the service center I will take delivery of. Since it is free delivery I am wondering if Tesla just waits until they have several vehicles that need to be moved or will they essentially take a loss on delivery of a single vehicle to a location that is four states away? | 2017-02-06 19:52:41 | 5 | They won t load your vehicle onto an empty truck and drive point to point. They will wait til one is passing through with space available... or they will pick up other cars along the way... or both. I placed my order on 12 20. I still don t have my car.

Telsa should do Cybertruck vs Ford F-450 4x4 | If Tesla REALLY wants to make a statement they won t pull against the F-150 again but the F-450 4x4. Imagine the Cybertruck beating *that* monster in a tug of war! Now I know Elon wants to do an Apples to Apples test but why not go against the biggest and baddest turbo diesel out there and beat it? Imagine what the headlines would look like the day after! They beat that thing and they re golden. | 2019-12-03 07:36:42 | 42 | Are Americans constantly towing heavy loads?

How much does being one of the cool kids factor into your model 3 purchase? (or a Tesla in general) | I ll preface all this with I really try and be as humble as I can with life in general. I didn t grow up with much but have worked hard and been blessed with great opportunities. I don t show off money just to try and impress anyone. Having said all that I ve been realistic about things that factor into a very expensive purchase and realize that part of it is impressing people with THE item of the day which has already gotten very positive attention from people knowing that I ve reserved it. I m not sure how I like it but that s how it is. So the question is as the title says. There are a lot of reasons I love Tesla s besides that but also that is one of them. So how does that factor into your purchase? | 2017-09-09 00:18:41 | 15 | I bought it so that I fit in here. | 2017-09-09 00:54:12 | 34 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 8,472 |
Is a Tesla able to avoid a crash even if the autopilot is not active? | Hello guys my M3 2021 long range will arrive in a couple of weeks and I can t be more excited. But I have a question about safety I saw a lot of videos where the car was able to avoid a crash with the autopilot on but what if the autopilot is off? Thanks a lot :) | 2021-03-10 07:15:05 | 66 | Just a word of warning I would recommend against trusting AP to avoid it collision on its own. If you sense that a collision is imminent take control immediately. There are some videos circulating of AP avoiding accidents but it is not entirely clear in a lot of the videos if AP was on or if the operator instinctually took control and avoided the accident and couldn t recall what happened in that split second. AP is very capable and very good at lane keeping but in some instances VERY dumb. Tesla vehicles do have Automatic Emergency Braking and Side Collision avoidance but don t overly rely on those features on their own to prevent an accident. [In this example](https: twitter.com greentheonly status 1365131783965192194) you can see how AP doesn t react to certain traffic conditions and doesn t really understand context like how the minivan was attempting to cross multiple lanes of traffic at the last second. It also did not realize the minivan had entered its lane until the vehicle was already mostly in the lane. [And another example](https: twitter.com greentheonly status 1360622235053133829) where AP is a tad bit slow to react to a vehicle slowing down rapidly in front. Remember to be vigilant and ready to take over control on AP if something doesn t feel right. Safe travels and enjoy the new car! Tesla AP is really great just remember it is a driver assistance feature and essentially autosteer and adaptive cruise control mushed together. Don t rely on it to get you out of dangerous situations. | 2021-03-10 08:52:03 | 99 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 9,911 |

[Academic] Survey about Autosteer | Hi everyone I am a bachelor student from the TU Delft writing my thesis about Autosteer. I am currently seeking participants in a study I am conducting as a part of my thesis. As a participant in this study you will be asked to fill in a short survey about your experiences with Autosteer. In my research I am trying to find out how we can make self-driving cars safer your input is extremely valuable. https: docs.google.com forms d e 1FAIpQLSeQR-4uY0S3PLbwTqBTcKARfjyESxa3oij1QFuOg7izxBK4cA viewform Thank you for your time! | 2017-10-02 14:32:47 | 8 | I think you re going to get a lot of very specific answers about known issues I m not sure if that s what you re going for. Responses will probably also vary wildly depending on AP1 or AP2 it may be worth asking which version the participant is using. Personally I have never had a really odd unexpected behavior event (AP1)- it s more about things it does consistently wrong (such as drift to the right when in the right late and an exit lane comes up) which after enough times start to become expected behavior. I guess you may get some more interesting responses from the people who have had more like AP tried to kill me incidents with sudden jerking to right left that kind of thing. That seems pretty rare though. I m curious if you will come back and share the results with us? | 2017-10-02 16:41:31 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 24,071 |
Went with the model 3 awd. Blue with white interior. Great car just never trade in a more valuable car... | Just update to my previous post. [https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments a0wjdd having\_second\_thoughts\_and\_need\_to\_make\_a ](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments a0wjdd having_second_thoughts_and_need_to_make_a ) & #x200B Went with blue model 3 awd white interior. Traded in the Model S. Car is great experience good too but very disappointed in Tesla overall. & #x200B Went to dealer to pickup my brand new model 3 and trade in my p100d. I was expecting fully to receive a cheque for $48 000 as this is what I was told and quoted multiple times prior to this by Tesla staff. Arrive and checkout the car and it looks great and we get to paperwork. Before I start signing stuff I asked about the cheque and was told im not aware of how you would receive this cheque did your sales rep tell you? I said yes and he told me to speak with her. I immediately messaged her and asked her about it and she said she will figure it out right away. & #x200B **At this point I should have not signed anything but I just never thought Tesla would be like this to me.** & #x200B I get the signing done and take the car and drive home. Ten minutes later my sales rep called and tells me I wont get my cheque for 8 weeks and she is sorry I wasn t told. She tells me this is normal. I was absolutely shocked and didn t know what to really do about it and she said she would continue trying to work this out. & #x200B Then I tell her ok I will return the model 3 for my model S back and sell it privately as I don t want to wait for my $48 000. She tells me its not possible to do that. Ive seen Elon tweet so many times if you dont like the car just bring it back . I am just speechless at this point. I love the fucking car and love everything about Tesla but you just took my $48 000 and didn t tell me until I cannot change my mind???? & #x200B Anyways Im especially upset as I leave on a trip overseas tomorrow and I wanted to use this cash on the trip and had planned for that. Now I have had to withdraw cash and sell some stocks from my trading account to cover this. & #x200B & #x200B & #x200B & #x200B TLDR DO NOT TRADE IN A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR TO TESLA YOU WILL NOT GET A CHEQUE FOR THE DIFFERENCE FOR 8 WEEKS AND THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU THIS UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE SIGNED AND TAKEN THE CAR. DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR SALES REP OR THAT ELON BS WILL MAKE IT RIGHT LIKE YOU VE SEEN ON TWITTER. & #x200B ~~ALSO DO NOT THINK THAT A CAR CAN BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASON INCLUDING MISREPRESENTATION WITHIN 24 hours like the law states(and elon). Car has 20kms on it. EDIT: They will return it~~ & #x200B ELON OR TESLA IF YOUR READING THIS I LOVE YOU AND IVE FIXED THE SITUATION BY SELLING SOME SHIT SO I WILL CONTINUE ON MY TRIP. IF YOU CARE ABOUT MAKING ME WHOLE FROM THIS OBVIOUS FUCKUP PLEASE SEND ME SOME SWAG OR LET ME COME FOR A TOUR. Want proof of any of this please ask I show u my tickets and stock sales today and the 100s of texts between me and 2 tesla staff trying to resolve this. The staff was great as always but jessus christ they should have known this and there should be a system in place to let me change it back. Put yourself in my situation. I am out 48k for 8 weeks and had no way to avoid that as I was told i would get it and couldnt back out once i figured it out. & #x200B & #x200B EDIT: After reading the tesla website terms and conditions some idiot posted here (saying i couldnt return it but it actually proves I can return it lol) It says clearly if its within 24 hours at the minimum it can be returned in some cases even up to 3 days and 800miles. I send this to my sales rep and ask why she said i couldnt return it. I will post her response here as a pic. & #x200B Edit: Here u go [https: imgur.com a tOJp8aB](https: imgur.com a tOJp8aB) & #x200B They are now offering to fully return it. Im not going to bother because it is indeed too late to change any outcome other than to get back at them It wont sell privately before tomorrow. & #x200B & #x200B | 2018-11-30 23:33:31 | 23 | In other words make sure all parts of the deal are confirmed before signing anything. Your opportunity to confirm the car value and check is prior to signing anything. If it were going to be eight weeks you could have had them postpone delivery. Otherwise you ve given up your leverage. Bitching on Reddit doesn t change anything. | 2018-11-30 23:50:12 | 15 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,415 |
Model 3 Boot Up Screen | Tesla fam- Since I ve had v9 on my m3 RWD for the last few weeks i ve noticed that my model 3 doesn t turn on immediately when I get in the car. About half the time the car needs to boot up and I need to wait for the screen about 20-30 seconds for it to load.

FSD Making Incorrect Left Turns | It appears FSD makes it s lane choice by determining the next turn even if the turn is far down the road instead of turning into the left lane and then signaling to move over to the right. Has anyone else experienced this? I m assuming most jurisdictions in North America have similar left turn lane rules. It happens every single time. Also worth noting that it does not appear to be confused and jerking at the last minute into a lane (it does that other times during more complicated turns) but rather this is very smooth deliberate and into the wrong lane. All lanes are clearly marked and it does this at all intersections where my next turn is a right hand turn. https: preview.redd.it g9o0k34c3ap91.jpg?width=475& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=55c149b78c372781ad29a4e90ad88224c03ee048 | 2022-09-21 21:16:03 | 36 | More often than not I have the opposite problem.

Picked up Model Y yesterday! It s a game changer... | Let me start with a little background... I grew up (37 now) around cars of all types. My father owned several dealerships over the years and I was fortunate enough to spend most of my life riding in and driving all types of.awesome cars. He owned Chevy Dodge Mitsubishi Kia and Nissan dealerships over the years. My first job was detaling cars at the lot when I was 16 and eventually was a finance manager when I was in college. Most of my life was ingulfed in the craziness of a car dealership. I eventually left the business (it wasn t for me) and started a new career once I graduated college. Turn the page forward to the purchase of the Model Y for.my wife... The ease of purchase and the non haggling price and rates and everything else under the sun that used used be part of.my job was simply AMAZING! Even growing up in the biz I hated the thought of having to go talk to a salesman and negotiate and then go to finance for hours and negotiate more... Tesla has hit a hometown with with me in their purchase and delivery model. I was able to talk to my sales advisor anytime i.needed to and was super impressed with the professionals at the Kansas City Stateline rd SC! They were professional fast and super friendly. The car was in perfect condition and oh yeah I forgot to talk about the car!!! This car is simy amazing! The comfort handling and pure awesomeness is astonishing! If you made it this far then you probably already know how great these cars are! Thanks again Tesla! TLDR: I grew up with a dad who owned lots of car dealerships and this was the best easiest and fastest purchase I have ever been a part of! Oh and car is the most amazing car I have ever owned! | 2021-02-28 18:00:08 | 702 | Good to hear from another car guy. I ve spent my whole career (since mid 70s) serving the dumb piston engine gods.

[Discussion] Best way to encourage more commercial charging stations? | There aren t many EV charging stations in my local area and as I m looking to purchase a Model 3 soon I want to take the initiative to promote charging stations to the local businesses that I frequent. *Note: I know that charging at home is preferred. However I think as electric cars become more popular people are going to charge everywhere that is convenient (especially in the lower range commuter cars that are a market segment lower than the Model 3)* So back to my question. Best way to encourage local businesses to install EV charging? Option 1: Recommend the Tesla Destination Charger program. They would get the chargers for free but have to pay for the installation. Typically it is 2 Tesla chargers and a J1772. Option 2: Recommend Chargepoint Chargers. Have to pay for the chargers and installation but could get 4 J1772 with 2 posts. Option 3: ?? (Any other good charging stations) I feel like option 2 has the biggest impact in regards to Tesla s mission statement as it isn t restricted to Tesla vehicles (although Tesla does seem to be providing one universal charger now). Also I think it is best if these chargers are free are chargepoint stations ever free?

FSD as a license? | I feel like people would be more inclined to buy FSD if it was treated more like a license that you could transfer to your next Tesla when you upgrade. The hardware is there no matter what anyway and could be another incentive to stay with a Tesla. Thoughts? | 2019-05-03 14:18:44 | 49 | Yea this would placate some fears of insurance with me.

Tesla Double Black Event - has anyone gone ? | I got invited to attend the [Double Black](http: my.teslamotors.com event DEFAULT2015DBDMTOURCHICAGO) event this weekend in Greenwich CT (not too far from NYC) and am super excited. I ve been a long time Tesla fan and aim to get one once my BMW lease is up (assuming there s a supercharger in Manhattan by then). Has anyone gone ? What should I expect ? I m stoked regardless just wanted to see what you guys thought. Thanks ! | 2015-04-06 15:53:36 | 15 | Cool event. Short presentation with some facts about the car then you get in the vehicle. There s a closed course--full power acceleration then some turns to enjoy the handling then (this was here in Toronto back in February not sure if they re still doing it?) a section with a TON of snow dumped in to test the AWD which was incredible. First the tesla employee in the car takes you through the course then you go through it and at the end you get a couple of minutes to take it out on public roads near the venue. One heads up: it is extremely short and while you get a GREAT feel for the limits of the car--full acceleration handling in a test course AWD over a dumped snow pile--you re only driving for about 5 minutes total. I had test driven previously at an actual tesla store where I drove for about 15 minutes. I definitely recommend doing double black but I also definitely recommend that immediately afterwards you go book an actual proper test drive at a tesla store IMO I had more fun with that. Both were awesome though :) | 2015-04-06 16:36:16 | 4 | Tesla Factory Tour Restrictions | 18,290 |
Model 3 is way ahead of the competition in terms of efficiency | From [Tesla s 2018 Q3 Summary](http: ir.tesla.com static-files 725970e6-eda5-47ab-96e1-422d4045f799): > With Model 3 energy efficiency improved dramatically to 4.1 EPA miles per kWh the highest efficiency for any all-wheel drive EV. To put this in context our current or upcoming AWD (2019) competition is expected to achieve 2.4 to 2.8 miles of EPA range per kWh. Model 3 has far better energy efficiency while also providing the quickest acceleration (0-60 mph in as little as 3.3 seconds) and the highest top speed (155 mph). Additionally the curb weight of Model 3 long range RWD is only 3% heavier than its gas powered equivalents. The Model has variants that gives it the leads for: 1. Most range (LR RWD) 2. Fastest acceleration (Performance) 3. Highest energy efficiency per distance (LR RWD) **Notes**: * The LR RWD configuration has 334 mi or 4.45 mi per kWh. * The Chevy Bolt has a range of 238 mi on 60 kWh battery or 3.97 mi per kWh. The Model 3 MR has a range of 260 mi on 60 kWh or 4.33 mi per kWh. This means that the Bolt is as efficient as a Model 3 Performance on 18 wheels with the aero wheel caps removed. The only difference is that the Bolt is able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds versus the Model 3 Performance at 3.3 seconds. https: i.redd.it 995m309eu7u11.png https: i.redd.it 19bhhe4fu7u11.png https: i.redd.it eqrra71518u11.png | 2018-10-24 23:18:39 | 99 | Ioniq Electric is more efficient.

Model 3 Tires from the Factory | Hello I just ordered my Model 3 Long Range AWD with the 18 inch Aero wheels.

Charging cable stuck in extension cord | I was wondering if anyone s charging cable has ever gotten stuck in an extension cord? I was staying a couple days at my parents house and wanted to keep my M3 charged so I plugged the charging cable into an extension cord which was plugged into a wall outlet. When it was time to leave the cable would not budge from the extension cord. Has anyone ever had this happen? The car was in a heated garage the entire time so it doesn t have anything to do with the cold. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks! Update: Thanks everyone for the replies. I spent about an hour trying to get the cables detached with no luck. You guys were right and the cables have melted together. I ve used this specific extension cord a few times over the last six months with no issues as has my sister with her M3 whenever she s been home. Does anyone have any recommendations for a cord that can handle the charging? I always like to plug in my car when I m staying at friends overnight or at my parents in-laws. I live in a very cold climate and the closest super charger is about an hour from where I m living so it s nice to be able to keep it plugged in when I m not home. I ve got the wall charger in my garage at home and I absolutely love it. | 2019-11-30 19:08:01 | 26 | Don t use extension cords for charging electric cars! This is how fires happen. They aren t rated for the currents you need. Your plug likely melted the plastic in the extension cord which is why it won t budge. I should nuance this it is possible to charge electric cars with extension cords that have the right current rating. Are you sure yours was rated for the amps you were drawing? | 2019-11-30 19:17:05 | 59 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 3,818 |

Does the powerwall come with a Charge Controller? | Hello everyone. I ve currently got a small 1kw solar system at my home in Puerto Rico that we wish to increase. We re also thinking about getting a Powerwall. My question is does the Powerwall come with its own charge controller? I have mainly 100w panels although not all from the same manufacturer. We re looking to add from the same manufacturers though. I m just looking for information so I can weigh the pro s and con s of a Powerwall or just a big Lead Acid Battery bank. | 2017-11-07 17:33:19 | 8 | The Tesla PowerWall is not suited to your problem for several reasons: * It works on a high voltage DC rail (or AC coupled). That would be a ~400VDC system which requires specialized inverters to work with. It s not a system you can do small scale or piecemeal. Your panels probably aren t rated for that high of a string voltage. * It requires an inverter to tell it to charge discharge. It s not just a battery like other systems. * You can t get one on any particular timeframe. If you want a system now a PowerWall won t work. If you want a system at some point in the future maybe subject to the installer schedule sure. Put your deposit down. But it sounds like you d prefer something sooner rather than later. A big lead acid bank is the standard solution because it s available and it works. If you re underpaneled for the battery bank AGM is probably better than flooded but flooded is better for longevity if you have enough panel to properly charge and gas them. However if you re looking for something a bit longer lived and more efficient look into a LiFePO4 bank if you can get it. A group of 4 of those in series is almost identical to 6 lead acid cells in series with a nominal 12V for each. Even cheaper solar charge controllers can deal with that. You get better charging efficiency no real problems running at partial state of charge for long periods and it works with inverters and such designed for lead. The downside is you ll need some balancing hardware to keep the groups balanced and I don t know how easy it is to get those shipped out your way. But in any case the answer you re looking for is Not PowerWall. | 2017-11-08 06:07:44 | 5 | Issues with Tesla Energy Installation | 5,569 |
One year with my used P85+. (long post be ready) | This week marks the one year anniversary of picking up my CPO (or used as Tesla now calls them) P85+. Over the last year I ve driven just under 23 000 miles (37 000~ Kilometers) with it. For comparison in my old Subaru (that I still have) I only drove 3 500 miles (5 600~ Kilometers) in the year before I got my S. So I ve been driving a lot. A sizable chunk of those miles are highway driving from Utah to New England and back (around Thanksgiving). I ve also gone from Utah to Tahoe and back and a smaller trip from Utah to Colorado and back both this past spring. Yay superchargers! My 2013 car is RWD and pre-autopilot. Here s my observations. First off it is a great car. The interior is a little spartan as others have noted and I m no fan of the older performance seats but the newer versions of the S have fixed the seat issues and the interior now has some niceties (center console etc) that aren t in my car. Performance is great as we expect. 21 tires don t last long. Driving cross country I burned through a set of tires. I will admit a lot of this was due to a poor alignment issue that probably should have been fixed before I took ownership but I killed my first set of 21 tires in just under 7k miles. I had the alignment fixed by Tesla when I put my 19 snow tires on and they barely showed any wear after a long winter and roughly 6k additional miles so. Still 21 tires on a Tesla do not last nearly as long as 19 tires. But damn they look good on the car. Also I learned on my way back from New England that 21 summer tires in any snow ice = highly probable death while driving. Granted this applies to any car with summer tires in this situation not just Tesla s but coming from a AWD Subaru with all season tires to driving a RWD Tesla with summer 21 s in the snow really caught me off guard. I d had no experience with driving on summer only tires and dear god it was a white knuckle drive home on the last night of my trip in a blizzard. I had 19 snow tires waiting for me at home but I just needed to get to them. Thankfully I made it but this year I m putting on my winter tires MUCH earlier to be safe. This current summer I put back on 21 Arachnids (referral award) in May and with proper alignment they are just starting to show a little wear at 6K miles. I hope to get one more summer out of them. You also get a few more miles of range with 19 tires although switching to 21 Arachnids I m getting the same range as 19 winter tires. You take a small range hit with the standard 21 turbines. The arachnids are lighter then the stock 21 rims. My 21 rims are staggered the 19 rims are square. While the car handles just fine in the snowy mountains of Utah with it s 19 snow tires it s still no AWD Subaru. If I hadn t kept that beater Subi I d be leaning more towards upgrading to a AWD Tesla sooner. As I ve mentioned before though in other posts the Subaru is paid off and I really don t care if it gets a dent or scratch. When the weather is shitty I drive that and leave the Tesla safe in the garage. We get lots of tourists here who can t drive in the snow to save their lives. I d rather them hit me in the Subi then the Tesla. As an odd twist to that I did have one accident over the winter I was gently rear ended at a stoplight by a guy in a P85D while I was driving my Subaru. Subi was fine he broke his headlight. When I got the P85+ the car had just over 51k miles. While there was some minor issues before I got the car with cosmetic damage Tesla stepped up and fixed the problems and overall the car looked great when I picked it up and still looks pretty damn fine for a vehicle with (now) almost 73K miles on it. I did put a clear wrap on the front which has helped keep the hood and nosecone scratch free. That said I ll never buy another black car again swirl problems are real and there s not much you can do about it. Pretty much the only way to save your black Tesla is the moment you buy one (new) take it to a shop for paint correction and then get a clear protecting wrap on the whole car. Otherwise it s swirl city and every bit of dirt will show when it inevitably get s dirty. When I picked up the car I immediately dropped it off at the service center to get the LTE retrofit and also power folding mirrors added. Hindsight being 20 20 I didn t really need to spend $1 600 on the mirrors I rarely fold them in. I m neutral on the LTE upgrade but it was only $500. I just realized last week I don t have fog lamps. I was debating retrofitting them on as well but then decided since I didn t even notice not having them for a year then it s probably not really worth $2 000 to get them retrofitted onto the car. In January I also added dual chargers to the car for $2 000. I only did this because my gym installed a bunch of 80 amp Tesla HPWC s and I wanted to milk it for every cent possible. (more on this later) Tesla service has been amazing. Those guys and gals at the SLC service center are incredibly nice and have handled my few problems quickly and completely. As for problems I had the alignment issue noted above and also had a GPS failure on my way driving back from New England. After a day of driving the GPS came back to life but Tesla still replaced it as a cautionary fix. I had a squeaky loose rear passenger door handle (replaced) and just yesterday had a failure of my drivers side rear door handle as well. They will replace that once I get back from vacation. Probably will be a mobile service van for that which I m intrigued to see in person. My 17 display got some bubbles at the top so they replaced that and I also have had one 12v battery replacement. They also replaced my old style general warning TPMS system with the new modern ones that show each tire s pressure individually. A few months back I had a contactor failure warning and Tesla had my car in the shop for a week or so fixing that. I didn t mind too much as [I got a P85D+ loaner](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 6bc06v older_model_s_showdown_p85_to_p85d ?st=j6ifyr4v& sh=3a8decb2) for the duration. When I first got the P85+ if I floored it there was this [balloon squeal](https: vimeo.com 47613457) that came from the back. (Video shows Tesla store employee playing it off but it s not normal). After replacing the contactors the sound is gone and I get the nice Jetsons whirrrr as I take off now. I bought the roof rack and a box but only this spring I ll put it on this winter. Finally I had a third party detail shop powder coat my brake calipers red. It looks much better with the arachnids now. When I got the car with 51k miles it charged to 227 rated miles of range at 90%. 23k miles later it still charges to 227 miles @ 90%. I m impressed with the battery. Also when I got the car I bought every single adaptor for the UMC that is available and I ve never needed to use any of them. I glad I have them just in case though. I don t have or see the need for the CHAdeMO adaptor as there are only a tiny few of them around me. That said I m lucky that I have tons of free Tesla and J1772 chargers all over the area where I live though. At work at the gym they are everywhere. 23K miles and I ve only used $15 worth of electricity to charge it at home. (Using Teslafi.com to log since I bought the car great site check it out). I know not everyone can pull this off but it s been a nice savings. Also I now really have an excuse to go work out at the gym every day knowing I ll pick up 60+ miles while getting in shape. I ve saved almost $500 in 8 months on power by charging at the gym and lost 20lbs. I may not make the $2k I spent on dual chargers back in savings while I own the car (before I trade up to another) but it s made monthly power bill at home that much lower and the gym membership is free through work. Plus I figure dual chargers will add a little re-sale value to the car even though it won t be the full $2k I initially paid to put them in. As for autopilot I kind of came to the realization today while writing this that if I do trade in my P85+ I really only need AP1. AP2 FSD has a ton of promise but that s off in some undetermined future... AP1 at this point is pretty rock solid for what I use the car for. Eventually AP2 will get to do all the stuff they are promising but I have a feeling by the time it does I ll be ready to trade my future CPO AP1 for a CPO AP2 car. While not flawless AP1 is at this point time tested and proven. For now though I m fine without autopilot in my car. I figure I ve been driving my car for 20 years at this point I can wait a few more years before it drives me. So in conclusion I do really love my P85+ but it s not perfect. It s a little larger then I like parking it can be tough from time to time. Once I run through the warranty I ll trade it in for another Model S (AWD CPO this time) or perhaps a 5 seat model X (CPO) if they come down in price enough. I still get the Tesla grin every time I press the accelerator and am really happy with my P85+ overall. The + suspension is amazing I ll really miss it once I move to a 100D S or X. **TL DR Used Tesla great but not perfect.** edit 1. I also added the abstract ocean interior lighting upgrade. Replaced every LED in the car with the brighter ones they offer made a huge difference and my car came with premium interior from the factory. Granted what s in the premium interior has changed over the years. Also I have premium sound and while I was on the fence at first I ve come to really like it. Finally I also have the sunroof and air suspension both have been flawless. | 2017-08-18 23:25:43 | 53 | Thanks for the write-up. Before the Model 3 came along I was looking hard at the P85 glad to hear it is a great ride. | 2017-08-18 23:55:59 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,388 |
Home L2 charging options for owning a Kia Soul and Tesla Model 3 | So like many in this forum I have a deposit down on a Tesla Model 3. Started running some numbers and we currently spend around $300+ a month on gas. If I can get another EV now with payments of $300 month that would be cost neutral plus I would still have money left over from the sale of our 2013 Ford Explorer plus the provincial rebate. I d literally be losing money if I don t trade the truck for an EV now. Bases on early research I think I m leaning towards a Kia Soul. Might consider the Chevy Bolt but even ending of 2016 seems too far for me right now. So the question comes down to charging. What kind of Level 2 home charger can I install now that would be compatible with Kia Soul EV and the Model 3? I don t want to invest in a charger now only to have to replace it later. Also there will be a period when I would have 2 EVs so want to make sure I can share the charger. | 2016-04-24 01:39:51 | 10 | Any standard L2 charger in North America supports the standard J1772 and every EV sold in North America can charge from J1772. The Tesla S and X come with a small adapter. It would be beyond belief that the 3 wouldn t be the same. http: www.clippercreek.com Search amazon for J1772 charger shows many other alternatives. In general you want one that supports the largest number of Amps as it will charge your M 3 faster. The Soul may support a lower max current but that s fine the charger can t force too much current into a car. And just to make the pendants happy the thing isn t actually a charger even though that s what everyone calls them. (The actual charger is onboard the vehicle). That s OK everyone knows what you re talking about when you say charger. Even the pendants. | 2016-04-24 01:57:03 | 11 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 7,941 |

Wednesday Prediction - Tesla Charging | Even I m not too confident on this one but it d make sense and fit their style. Tesla Charging - Both increasing Supercharger use and Supercharger capacity. Not sure what this would mean for destination chargers. **Use:** Utilizing the supercharger network for other EVs Show future model 3 buyers and current S X buyers that a 2x 3x demand spike for Superchargers isn t that big a deal over time Details on the pay per kwh system Either sell DC Fast CHADEMO adapters or keep them attached to the supercharger **Capacity:** Franchise the superchargers (someone on here already kind of suggested this as a possibility for the announcement) Tesla pays per kwh to franchise owner for the unlimited cars Tesla takes __% off the top for processing and passes along the rest of the payment to the franchise owner for the pay per kwh cars Maybe explain a bit what the future is for EV owners who live in apt buildings Bigger scale generally means better availability and ability to meet demand spikes even if there are fewer plugs per vehicle that can use them. Thoughts? Edit: And maybe bundle it somehow with Solar City (or Tesla ) financed solar installs. | 2016-10-17 17:10:44 | 62 | I think this could be it: * Need something that can make cash for Tesla in short term to avoid capital raise in Q4 and Q1 * Supercharger credits are already built into MyTesla * Quicker charging has been discussed. * Add solar canopy option to offset some electricity costs and show the synergy of Tesla Solar City. Tesla may have a new supercharging station product that other companies can buy and install. Could charge Teslas super fast and other EV s at their max speed. Tesla can lower the price of the S by $2 500 by unbundling super charging and reduce its own capital outlays for charging infrastructure. Need to tweak the presentation to be very convincing for third parties to start buying charging infrastructure. | 2016-10-17 17:45:25 | 15 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 22,355 |

Tesla Model S owners: what s on your wishlist for the next gen Model S? | The first Model S was rolled out in 2012 and the facelift model came in April 2016. What do you wish for the next generation or the next facelift of the Model S? I don t own one but I would like to see flollowing: - a more modern infotainment system that feels snappier. - Maybe a better build quality interior and exterior. - New colors? New Paint? - wireless charging for phones - animated indicstors when turning - sportier design Edit: - Full vegan car - OLED Displays - bigger glovebox - 5G connectivity for autonomous driving Let me know what you think! | 2017-12-15 16:44:35 | 55 | ================ HARDWARE CHANGES ================ - Bluetooth 5 802.11ac wifi and Extended Range LTE support @ 1 gbps (We may not need the throughput but we definitely need the future-proofing.) - Stream Bluetooth via the AAC codec not SBC. (This is a standard though rarely used Bluetooth feature because most wireless headphones and speakers don t support AAC. It should improve audio quality significantly.) - USB Port Upgrades - Support high wattage USB 3.1 Type C specs. (See Anker PoweriQ tech) - Android and iPod iPhone wired music playback. - Soft-close Frunk (So we don t have to get hand-prints on the hood to close it.) - Infinite-detent soft-close or self-presenting doors (Model S) - Tesla logo puddle lights. Shape them so it looks like there s a square of Tesla-logo carpet laid outside the car. (http: teslatap.com modifications projector-logo-lights ) - Improved lighting in the frunk and trunk. - Multicolor cabin lighting (Could also be used as an alert in certain autopilot situations) - Brushed aluminum window controls (Example Here: https: evannex.com products window-control-covers-for-tesla-model-s#tab-1) - Lower doors sills at entry - Bring the wood trim from the dash around to the doors similar to how it s done in the Model X. - Three-zone climate control so the back seat can have a zone (like the Model X.) - Rear seat air vents in ceiling or on doors in addition to the center console vents - Seat Changes: - Flip-down rear-seat arm rest with pop-forward cup holders. - Integrated charging and brackets so that you can dock mount a tablet flush and semi-permanently to facilitate rear seat entertainment. Include a cover so that those who don t use the feature don t have ugly seatbacks and those that do can cover the tablet(s) when not in use. - Flip-down coat hooks to hang a coat on the back of the seat. - Either allow the headrest to move up a little higher or cut the bottom of the headrest shorter so it doesn t hit the base of my neck when it s in the full-up position. - Inset or embroider the Tesla logo into the headrests and diamond-stich the seating material on some seating panels. - Airbag and or vibration inserts for massage functions (Long shot) - Cooled seats without using perforated seating material - Heads-Up Display (Possibly in leiu of the binnacle screen) - Tire Pressure Control System that can inflate deflate tires based on detected pressure (may have to mount tires with the stems facing inward. This is important because proper tire inflation is so important to range.) | 2017-12-15 17:21:43 | 43 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 19,216 |
Updated NA Model 3 Manual (October 29 2020) (2020.44) | https: draftable.com compare DsbvOGlsLMDl Noticed a new Model 3 manual that was published October 29th 2020. [Previous comparison for reference](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments he7hjh updated_na_model_3_manual_may_2020_202020 ) The 2021 Model 3 refresh changes are not yet present. Everything else is pretty much as expected and already known.
