Tesla Model 3 Reservation in the UK | Has anyone here reserved a Model 3 in good ol Blighty? If so has anyone from Tesla reached out to you with any rough dates? I know the official plan is “probably mid-next year” (https: www.google.co.uk amp s www.teslarati.com elon-musk-tesla-rhd-model-3-update amp ) The reason I ask is i m like mid way through putting together a case for electrifying my companies fleet. My S has been an absolute dream for me (kind of...) and our field service tech s are next. S is a bit much X is way much so the 3 would work nicely... I just need a timescale. Much thanks for any input x | 2018-06-16 20:01:08 | 11 | I don t think at this moment there is any further contact or info from Tesla regarding RHD besides the info you already linked. Put in your reservations now to get into the queue asap. Then hope for the best like most of us here in Europe. | 2018-06-16 20:11:47 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 19,117 |
Anyone else randomly find Model 3 window down? 46.2 | Parked my Model 3 last night (in the garage thankfully) and plugged it in. When I got in this morning I found the front passenger side window was all the way down. I m obviously not driving around in the snow with the windows down and nobody else had access to the car. Hopefully a one time thing but huge potential for problems if it happened while I wasn t home. Has anyone else seen this behavior? EDIT: Found [this thread on the Tesla forums](https: forums.tesla.com forum forums window-rolls-down-itself-overnight) so it unfortunately doesn t seem like I m just an idiot and it s been a legitimate issue for months. | 2018-12-18 11:57:35 | 17 | Thread full of responses not a single one mentions bringing it into service.

Does anyone know a site that shows realtime supercharger availability? | I d like to monitor supercharger availability during holiday weekends...i have a model 3 reservation. just wondering how busy these get during holiday weekends. would be awesome if i could see this in a web browser. i found this link: http: www.ev-prices.com Home SuperChargers#?zoom=7& lat=40.23543896503474& lng=-72.39013671874999 but that doesnt have realtime updates anymore... | 2017-08-25 14:18:23 | 18 | This is something we ve been hoping for for a while. > At the request of Tesla the data is no longer being shown.

When can I get v8? (S85) | Just got back home to update the car thinking it would update to v8. But instead it upgraded to another version of v7. Haven t drove the car for 3 months too so that might be it. Anyway of getting the update pushed? | 2016-11-17 12:41:22 | 7 | I ve heard that if the car is connected to wifi it might get it faster and also some mentioned that if you re near a service center and you connect to their wifi you tend to get the update right away. | 2016-11-17 13:54:12 | 6 | Tesla Software Updates Overview | 23,093 |
Warning to Tesla Owners with or considering Liberty Mutual Insurance | Tesla uses Liberty Mutual for their InsureMyTesla program. Here is my experience with Liberty Mutual and why they suck. In June of 2016 my wife either got her foot stuck on the pedal or the car took off on her (that s was she says Tesla says different) She hit a cinder block wall from about 20 feet away at 97% pressure on the pedal The damage was pretty substantial and when it was all said and done cost 32K to repair. Last December we received notice from Liberty Mutual that they would not renew our policy (we have 2 Teslas and home owners) citing the accident and 9 non-existent road service calls & 2 3 year old speeding tickets (not the good kind the 35 in a 25 kind). After going thru the appeal process I was told they didn t make a mistake and they were proceeding with not renewing out policy. She told me they will never make-up the 32K they paid for the repair so they are canceling our policy. She also said they have seen people canceled for a $1000 accident. Uh That s not how insurance works! I told the Liberty Mutual rep that they would be calling me back within the week to apologize and re-instate my policy she said ”Yeah Good Luck with that” I was wrong it only took 2 days after I tweeted to Elon Tesla and Tesla Owners with the details of what they were trying to do. The @AskLiberty rep said everything was a mistake and they “fixed it” and begged me to take down my original post. Asked me to keep the policy which I wanted to do (they were awesome handling the repair and didn t try to nickel & dime the repair costs agreed to everything the body shop asked for) after I took down the original post they still raised our rates. (from $3200 per year to $4000 per year) This year they cited that accident again (Loss History) as the reason they will not renew our policy. I contacted @AskLiberty directly so they would have a chance to fix it. They have accident forgiveness right? Wrong. This is a direct quote from their email (mis-spellings included): “Accident forgiveness ensures you do not get surcharged for your first accidnet. You were not charged anything additional for that accident. Your policy was reviewed by multiple levels of management and every appeal was denied. Unfortunetly we will not be able to overturn the decision. You will want to secure new insurance prior to 01 12 19” So I again warn anyone considering Liberty Mutual insurance or the InsureMyTesla program which uses Liberty Mutual don t do it. They lie and make up reasons to cancel your policy. Accident Forgiveness is a Marketing gimmick only never comes into play as they will not renew after 1 claim and put you in a high risk pool for insurance… I just retweeted this whole story again (It won t be taken down regardless of outcome this time) and I m posting here too. I wonder how long it will take for them to apologize this time? | 2018-12-18 02:10:10 | 27 | I don t understand what s so terrible here. I clicked expecting to read about a refusal to cover repairs insistence on incompetent repair people being overcharged or something. But all that happened is they didn t want you as a customer anymore? There are plenty of insurance companies out there go find a better one. There s no right to be insured by a particular company. | 2018-12-18 02:42:59 | 60 | Tesla insurance pricing comparison | 22,238 |
Anybody notice a dramatic change in maps? | I was driving last night and noticed that the maps displayed were dramatically different looking than they had ever been before. Roads appeared wider and my vehicle triangle was properly placed inside the road s width. The lines marking roads also seem heavier (fatter). I found a section of road that still appeared with the older styling just to make sure I wasn t going crazy. Then I thought maybe it was something to do with the road s classification. But there s an offramp from a state highway (101) that leads onto a road with more lanes (Kilton Rd.) and is very heavily traveled. Here s an image showing the differences. [Map Image](https: i.imgur.com a7OxeDb.jpg) My nav data version is listed as NA-2019.20-10487. | 2020-01-13 17:38:10 | 82 | I ve had 10487 since I received my car in June 19. What you are most likely seeing is data driven overlay. All the time I see new restaurants and stuff pop up on my screen. Although I haven t payed enough attention to the lane separations. | 2020-01-13 18:13:17 | 19 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 1,816 |
[Discussion] Reason for falling Model S X sales? | I ve been thinking about falling S X sales and most folks seem to believe it s because they re stale. Or technologically behind the 3. I m not sure I agree with these thoughts. I think it s due to the price increase. I m an S owner and you used to be able to buy one starting at $74k cash (before savings). The lowest price for an S NOW is $85k cash and the US tax credit is down by $4k. So these cars are effectively $14k more expensive. The higher price shrinks the total addressable market and would naturally reduce sales. So I think this is really what s going on. Get rid of the 75D and sales fall. There IS a valid question whether there should be price separation between the cheapest S and the highest price 3. While I m not super educated on car market segmentation my conjecture is that S and 3 buyers are different segments. The S buyers want a big car. The 3 is nimble and more affordable. I DO think you d want some overlap and let buyers in that price range choose which benefits are best for them individually. I d think the margins on P3D and low-end S would be pretty similar. BTW - As far as technology goes I don t think the S is behind the 3. Isn t the MCU in the S the same as the 3? Same with AP? So these are comparable. A big difference is the battery cell size and pack. This creates lower $ kWh (for the 3) at the price of cooling (better in S due to smaller cells). Any chemistry changes would go into both cells. So I think this is equivalent too. The motors in the S are older induction vs switched reluctance. So this is one thing that s clearly better in the 3. The S has air suspension. Thoughts? | 2019-04-04 14:27:56 | 30 | The vast majority of auto sales are down across the board regardless of manufacturer. The exception appears to be Model 3. If someone has the money for a Model S X and they want an S X they ll still get an S X. | 2019-04-04 14:33:58 | 40 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 24,703 |
Tesla does not take trade-in of Model 3 | I wanted to trade-in my Model 3 and get the performance version. I call the local dealer and they said they will not take a trade-in of the model 3. This struck me as a very weird stance since they stood by the model S resale value and they will take a trade-in of any other car including Tesla just not the 3. Anyone have a different experience? | 2018-06-28 15:00:39 | 63 | Maybe I can just buy it from you? (dead serious) | 2018-06-28 16:42:13 | 103 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 19,778 |
Tesla called me regarding my Model 3 Reservation | Tesla called me regarding my model 3 reservation and gave some disconcerting info... The representative I spoke to saw that I was a reservation holder and tried to sell me a Model S 75 D for around the same price as the model 3 would cost and give me a salesman pitch of how it s pretty much the same as Model 3 . The rep was reading me prices from the website and tried to word it as an exclusive price offer. I was shocked that Tesla operatives their business this way. Tesla agents calling reservation holders to try and convince them to buy an older vehicle. This questions my faith in the company. Has anyone else received calls like this? Is Tesla in over their head? Should I take the Model S 75 D and negotiate a better price?

Having been fascinated with Tesla since the press release for the original roadster came out (roughly 2006-2007 when I was about 13 or 14 years old) I have always viewed Tesla as my dream car. Owing stock even just a single stock has been a way for me to “own” a Tesla until I can eventually own a real Tesla. | 2017-12-24 16:28:18 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 25,989 |
Evtripplanner speed multiplier | When you have the speed multiplier set to 1.0 what speed is that in mph? How much does it increase when you increase it by .1? | 2017-06-27 20:57:57 | 10 | I don t have a connection to them but I know a little math. 1.0 will be 1 times the speed limit so just read it as the speed limit on that road that google has on record 1.1 is 10% faster than the speed limit. So speed limit times 1.1 Examples on a 65MPH road: 1.15=115%=74.75 MPH 1.1=110%=71.5 MPH 1 = 100%=65 MPH .9=90% = 58.5 MPH .5=50% = 32.5 MPH This is just a way for you to tell the website that you drive a little above the speed limit or a lot above the speed limit or you let your grandmother drive. One thing to be aware of this is for the average even if you drive 75 in a 65 zone you rarely will actually average 75 | 2017-06-27 21:07:07 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 6,102 |

So I accidentally slammed on the accelerator instead of the brake today in my Model S. | First off this was totally my fault. Not the cars. I was pulling out of a shopping center and there were some shrubs blocking my view. As I creeped out slowly I saw a truck coming down the lane I was about to pull into. They were moving quite fast so I slammed on what I thought was the brake. It was the accelerator. My car went flying out and across two lanes. I did not wreck likely because the acceleration was so fast I wasn t in front of the truck for more than a second. I was also lucky that there wasn t anything in the other lanes. FREAKED me out. I can totally see how these strange accidents into buildings occur now. I used to think the drivers were just idiots. I guess I could still be an idiot. The weird thing is I can t remember ever doing this in any other vehicle. It doesn t appear that my Tesla s brake and accelerator are different than any other car. I guess it was just a strange malfunction in my brain. Won t be doing that again. I hope. | 2016-09-29 00:09:21 | 212 | Glad to hear no one got injured. It s definitely not just a Tesla issue as people have been making that mistake since cars were invented. Hopefully we ll get to a point soon where the car will prevent drivers from being able to make tragic mistakes. | 2016-09-29 00:26:47 | 95 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 17,364 |
Just ordered a new Tesla | I own an old S85 without AP which I m selling soon so ordered a new inventory S85 today with AP next gen seats and everything except extra seats and air suspension. On the one I own from before I had air suspension and I really haven t tried coils but in the last year I haven t used it more than 3-4 times so figured I didn t need it now. Any thoughts on this? Also I now got beige seats and white pearl multi coat. A bit skeptical about the white when it comes to dirt but I ve seen several before that looks good when they are clean at least.. | 2015-11-02 18:12:16 | 18 | > I really haven t tried coils but in the last year I haven t used it more than 3-4 times so figured I didn t need it now. Probably not. I ve driven my car (no air suspension) and a couple with it. It s a cool gimmick but that s about it for the kind of driving I do and you re probably the same. > A bit skeptical about the white when it comes to dirt Don t be! Fine scratches in the clear coat show up as white under light but if your car is already white they re far less noticeable it just becomes less shiny. Most actual dirt is light grey so as your car gets dirty it ll get less shiny and start looking grey instead then you wash it properly (see r autodetailing) and it s back to beautiful. White is the second-easiest color to maintain. Silver metallic is the easiest since any scratch just blends in with the metallic finish. Black is probably the hardest since there is no dirt that doesn t show up looking white and obvious against a shiny black car. | 2015-11-02 19:31:12 | 6 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 10,492 |
(New?) Model 3 Production video from Tesla FAQ page | https: www.tesla.com support model-3-reservations-faq Might be old news but a few of the sequences look like new content we haven t seen before from design to production and driving. Quick way back machine search shows the Model 3 FAQ page was updated sometime in the last month with this video replacing the older Model 3 photos. Interesting that promotional content like this is being created but intentionally relegated to back pages instead of front and center - the undersell continues. | 2017-11-23 16:42:20 | 61 | I ve seen it not sure if it has been posted.

Tried out a part of v8.0 briefly - Noticable improvement to autopilot braking when two cars in front | Tried out an aspect of v8.0 very briefly today. Radar now helps track two cars in front from under the first car (with the camera having difficulties to see the second one) and braking was noticably smoother when the cars in front started braking. With 7.0 autopilot would always slam the brakes at the last moment and this seemed like a big improvement.

3D Maxpider Model Y all-weather floor mats (Canada) | Is there any place to buy all the mats (front and rear seats frunk & trunk) which is 7 pieces altogether in Canada? I was about to buy these on Teslarati but it s coming out to $534.96 + an extra $120 for shipping in USD. That s like $850 CAD.

Soonest I could book service - 1 month out * The service to repair the center console failed - the replacement part was even more damaged than the part to be replaced. Another month until it might be fixed. * Tesla corded mobile charger arrives the next day broken. They will not accept a return until a technician verifies that it s not working so I m looking at at least another month to wait for that appointment to verify that the broken charger is in fact broken only so I can return the charger and hopefully get a working one this time.

1500+ round trip road trip over three days in MY | Going into this trip I thought the stops to charge were going to get tedious but was really surprised by how pleasant the overall experience was. All our luggage fit in the frunk and below the rear floor so our dog had the entire cargo area to himself. Autopilot took all the stress out of the drive. This entire drive was all on v2 or slower chargers as well. Doesn t appear to be any v3 for Missouri or Kansas. At least on our route. Only downside is the 23 cents a kw adds up pretty fast. Need to do some math but I m guessing the efficiency is similar to a good hybrid. Efficient with the wind and colder temps definitely dropped below 70% at times granted we were driving 80-90 whenever possible. | 2020-11-16 17:08:16 | 27 | > 23 cents a kw Just wanted to clarify that it is kWh. | 2020-11-16 17:12:49 | 15 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 301 |
Can all Teslas roll backwards and forwards with the phone app or is that limited to the autopilot pack? | Hi all I m thinking about pulling the trigger on a Model Y and I ve seen the videos where owners control their vehicles backwards and forwards with the app. I have a very tight garage so that d be a useful feature for me but not quite worth the 7+ grand they want for the full autopilot pack so I m wondering if all models can do this or if it s restricted to the expensive option. Sorry if this is perhaps a basic question but I don t seem to be able to see a definite answer anywhere.

Opinion: Tesla should build beautiful solar roof canopies at their supercharging stations as a eye-catching showcase for their solar roof tech. | I think that with a distinctive design it will also make the supercharging stations easier to find and more pleasing to use (in the shade). | 2016-11-07 17:08:34 | 285 | I fully agree - I suspect a big impediment to this is zoning permitting. I think they often have a hard time as it is convincing property owners to let them take up the space and install the chargers.

Lease vs Buy model S? | Really want to lease but 4.8% interest + a terrible buy out option (they add $7500???) seems to really make it a bad way to go. Any tips?

Can autopilot be used on country lanes? | I know this is probably very obvious but can AP be used on winding country lanes? Where I live (rural England) there are many shortcuts connecting the town s in the area that use winding single car roads that tend to have big hedges on both sides (but not always). Can AP be used on unmarked roads and would it be able to see through the hedges (a human can see movement and colours through the gaps in the leaves enough to know if a car is coming but I d understand if a sensor couldn t). | 2017-06-12 09:54:13 | 9 | Yes I m pretty sure it would turn on but not sure I d use it in those circumstances. AP2 does ok on a narrow road with a decently defined edge but will wander on anything wider than a single lane. The system really needs well defined lane markings gentle curves and little traffic in the opposite lane to function well on secondary roads. I would not use it on a single lane unless it was a long straight stretch with good visibility and no traffic. | 2017-06-12 10:32:15 | 7 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 3,444 |
SoCal Edison Customers: EV Rebate has increased to $1000 for vehicles purchased after 1 1 2019 rebate of up to $1500 for L2 charging station (+meter) available if you switch to TOU | Current rebate is $450 per vehicle so that s a $550 increase. Pretty decent and makes up for some of the Federal rebate loss after 1 1 2019. Switching to TOU is a mixed bag and I recommend running some numbers for your own situation. The rates are pretty high during peak hours but not much worse than Tier 3 pricing.

How does NOA handle carpool diamond lanes and Fastrak lanes in SoCal? | Hi I m considering getting a Model 3 SR with FSD in November. However I am curious about how the Navigate On Autopilot handles routes where the quickest path is using carpool lanes and fastrak. For example I commonly use the 105 carpool -> 110 fastrak exchange and vice versa. Does NOA have settings to include these options? Any info about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks | 2020-06-15 00:05:59 | 6 | You need to enable HOV lanes (it s in settings). Once you enable them no problem. It even knows to take the dedicated Fastrack HOV exits.

Have a Taptes wireless charger (gen 1 I think) - seems to be slow? | I have an iPhone X and the 1 gen taptes charger ordered around May. I feel the charging is fairly slow - for example yesterday I started at 31% iPhone battery level and maybe 10 minutes later or so it was at 33%. The side of the charger I have the phone on uses a stand-alone USB port with no hub. I do have a very slim spigen case. Is that normal? Wonder what everyone else s experience is.

Mainly want Auto-pilot should I buy now? | Auto-pilot is the main feature I want but it says in the next 3 months. I love how Tesla upgrades features with SW updates in the field but since auto-pilot is dependent on the sensors... is there a chance Tesla would upgrade sensors in the factory line (like they did before they announced auto-pilot)? Basically would people recommend waiting to see how the bugs shake out or buy now? Given Tesla s track record with customer service are they likely do hardware upgrades (not bug fixes but adding more sensors) to those that are early adopters? | 2015-04-29 05:11:28 | 6 | I don t see any hardware updates coming to the model s in the near future especially not on the auto pilot features but maybe you should wait for model x which is said to have much more capabilities in terms of autonomous driving (more powerful computing platform and more sensors cameras) But this would also include a loooong waiting for the X if you d don t have a reservation yet. My advice: get one! | 2015-04-29 05:43:28 | 4 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 11,312 |

My first plan is to see what Tesla will give me for my 2015 Wrangler and see what their loan rates will be. If they don t look good I ll try for possibly selling the Jeep to my local Jeep dealer and look for some local credit union rates. They are all around that 3.99% from what I can tell but I found a few at the 3.49% range. Unfortunately there are no CarMaxs or Carvanas near me (rural Southwest Virginia) so I ll have to deal with taking a hit for the Jeep rather than run all over the state. Any advice is welcome...

Model Y Performance with coilovers - My experience | While I didn t mind the firm ride of the MYP my wife noticed it was pretty harsh and wasn t as fun to cruise in for road trips as my old 2016 Model X. I decided to install the Mountain Pass Performance Comfort coilovers and lower the car about 1 while I was at it. It made a noticeable improvement in ride and looks. If your going to do this a couple of things will help. 1. Jack up both front wheels and or back wheels at the same time to take load off the sway bars. 2. Get a through hole socket set. Some bolts like the front sway bar links and removing the top hats from the front struts require holding the bolts with a torx bit while turning the bolt with a socket. 3. On the Y you don t need to remove the entire upper control arm mount to get the strut out. Just 3 bolts. 4. If you lower your car you ll need adjustable camber links for the rear for sure and maybe for the front. I ran out of adjustment on the front arms so I still have about -1 degree camber. The back I was able to get to factory specs. 5. Mark Myers created an excellent DIY install video on his Model 3 here: [(36) Lower Your Tesla Model 3 - Mountain Pass Performance Coilover Install - YouTube](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=OB-bw2K7DmQ) 6. It will be helpful to have an assistant to move the control arms down to get the struts out and the coilovers in. The back is much easier than the front. If you can change oil or replace brake pads you can do the install. Its not particularly hard and makes a great day long project with your son while you listen to 80 s music :). Tesla did my alignment afterwards. They didn t seem to have any issue with the aftermarket parts but did pause because the ride height was different. I asked them to do their best to get the factory alignment settings but at the current height which they were able to do for all except the front camber which is dang close. Of course this was completely separate from any kind of warranty work so I happily paid shop labor price and they were excellent to work with as always (I ve always had good service experience with Tesla). The change in ride is very noticeable. I adjusted my compression and rebound settings to be 1 click softer than the MPP recommended and the car now feels like a cross between a BMW X5 and a Lexus. You still feel bumps but the harshness that made you cringe when you saw that you were going to drive over railroad tracks is gone. I should note that I also have lightweight forged rims. I would rate my changes in ride quality like this: 1. Factory MYP ride with 21 Uberturbines. Very firm and harsh but its a performance model so what did you expect? 2. Swap 21 Uberturbines for 19 rims & tires. I did this for the winter with a set of T-Sportline TST and Sotozero tires. Noticeably smoother ride than the Uberturbines but not night and day like I expected given how many people claim swapping rim size is the solution if you don t like MYP ride. 3. Switch to Lightweight rims. After winter I went back to my summer tire setup but this time used Signature SV503 forged rims in size 21x9 ET25 21x10 ET32. Each of these rims is 14 lbs lighter than the stock Ubertrubines!! With these wheels and the factory Pirelli tires the ride was smoother than the 19 winter setup. 4. MPP Coilovers. These are expensive but they work. I ve been analyzing the ride a lot to make sure I m not just telling myself that so I won t feel bad about the cost. There are several bumpy test areas where I feel is the ride now at least 50% smoother if not more. I don t know how else to explain it other than I no longer constantly scan the road and carefully pick my line to avoid manhole covers and rough patches of pavement. I don t think they decreased noise in the car very much but I didn t really expect to. (I did install a solid cargo cover from [ModelYShelf.2 (weebly.com)](https: teslastuff.weebly.com modelyshelf2.html) which did help a little with that) Overall I highly recommend the MPP Comfort coilovers. The customer service at MPP was excellent and they quickly responded to all of my questions. If you re wanting to smooth out your MYP ride give them a look. & #x200B https: preview.redd.it rq1lobnd5a571.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=4438c300a1329af43e40379ab5b7dde7712fa4d6 & #x200B https: preview.redd.it acswkzqh5a571.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=0a82ce818b6dae8642b648a3f1cf87fe53026ba1 & #x200B https: preview.redd.it d5h1thli5a571.jpg?width=3024& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=1ebd4cf3ade620d186c651b8553835ff579cf4fb & #x200B https: preview.redd.it sxzqqx6k5a571.jpg?width=2048& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=5260b9c6daeffebfc6510ac40613c56908ab273e & #x200B https: preview.redd.it 29kqpyil5a571.jpg?width=2048& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=9d6d2967878dbe5fd0fc3087d33510ac7d927665 & #x200B https: preview.redd.it kjjam1em5a571.jpg?width=2048& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=b5cfd454f71370918972f28e53427bf2a31d2260 & #x200B https: preview.redd.it vcu7ta4n5a571.jpg?width=2048& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=90471c7e35de31562b0dab84a30e88126c22e33d | 2021-06-14 19:17:59 | 78 | That must be so rewarding. It s satisfying enough when I changed the LED bulbs in the boot and added the center console wrap. Something like that has got to hit the roof on the fulfillment scale. I d be tempted to do the same on my Model 3 but last I checked there was some downside. I can t quite remember what it was - I think it d lower the car by a bit (which I don t want) or I wouldn t easily be able to adjust the height or softness hardness feel. | 2021-06-14 23:12:42 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 12,946 |

Horizon UK Coverage of Driverless Cars: Hugely Disappointing | So Horizon UK just aired “Dawn of the Driverless Car” on BBC 2 and I really expected to see Tesla mentioned at least once but nope... nothing. I appreciate as a huge fan I m biased towards Tesla but the entire show was geared on how the future of Driverless cars is coming and literally had almost every other car manufacturer with some form of future vision. A lot of focus was even given to MobiliEye and Nvidia but still absolutely nothing to Tesla.

I don t know what market research Tesla has done but I m skeptical that many people will be willing to do that with their daily driver rather I expect robotaxis to be mostly be dedicated commercial fleets. The new Beta FSD looks very promising (though I m a quite doubtful it will reach Level 4 5 anytime soon). Level 3 appears reachable and that will a game changer. 10k is too high for a lot of people hence the low uptake. I suggest that there be two tiers: FSD without robotaxi for say $4k upgradable to robotaxi for a further $6k. This is similar to many other SW products where there are seperate licenses and prices for personal vs commercial use. Clearly until robotaxis are real few commercial licenses would be sold but I expect the increased uptake of the non-commercial license would cover the reduced per-unit income. 75% uptake at $4k beats 25% at 10k. What do others think? | 2021-01-07 17:09:18 | 144 | This is one of the better ideas I ve seen here since it actually makes sense for both the company and the consumer. Far too many ideas posted here boil down to I don t want to pay this much for something that there is clear demand for at the current price. Here s much less than others are willing to pay for it. Gimme. | 2021-01-07 17:42:42 | 57 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 15,636 |
Roadster owners how s the Roadster? | I m just curious how the Tesla Roadster is ageing so far? I had heard before that originally they were a little thrown together ? Of modern times the Roadster gets little to no recognition which is a shame. Obviously Tesla is working on the Model 3 but I wonder if there will ever be a new Roadster? Or even factory upgrade the Roadster with lovely modern tech lol. | 2017-06-25 16:17:20 | 24 | > I wonder if there will ever be a new Roadster? * [2019](https: electrek.co 2016 05 16 tesla-next-gen-roadster-faster-bigger ) > Or even factory upgrade the Roadster with lovely modern tech lol.

Tesla city owners... are there any? | How do Tesla owners who live in a city deal with having no regular parking spot? How do you keep your car charged and where do you charge it? I live on [this street](http: i.imgur.com HSh9oun.jpg) which has no reserved spaces for each house. It is more often than not necessary to park on another street let alone outside my own house. As such even if the council permitted an EV charger to be placed outside my house it would be unlikely that the space would be reserved for just myself. Is it simply a case of needing to factor into your week a trip to a nearby charging point for a coffee shopping trip? EDIT: And there are 4 parking spaces at my office for 50 people... so I don t drive to work. | 2016-08-26 08:03:09 | 6 | I talked with a Tesla rep at the store in Red Hook and he said that they partner with a service that takes your car to a garage and charges it for you. Then when you need it meets you at your house apartment. Long-range primitive Summon I guess. | 2016-08-26 12:30:29 | 5 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 19,738 |
Electronic Payment for Tesla | Hey all put in a down payment for $10K via the electronic payment option on myTesla portal on 2 15 and my bank is not showing any withdrawal activity.

There are few Tesla destination chargers and other level 2 chargers scattered around Scottsdale Quarter but no superchargers that I ve seen. I was there ten days ago to watch a movie and didn t see anything new in the way of charging but I wasn t looking either. Also supercharge.info does not show a supercharger in Scottsdale.

One of the most interesting points in yesterday s shareholders meeting for me | was the combined facts that 90% of new registrations were not from reservation holders and that the majority of trade-ins were from entry-level cars. The first means that we can now look at the sales numbers as unadulterated and compare apples-to-apples with other car manufacturers. The second as Elon said means that people are starting to get how it is financially sound to pay a premium for cheaper running costs. These two points above all are key for Tesla s development and are excellent news. As far as in France where I do ride-sharing with my TM3 many people are actually surprised by the math and leave the car with some serious food for thoughts. | 2019-06-12 12:14:04 | 228 | I think the biggest reason is tech people and engineers buying. These people upgrading from entry-level cars are often people making more then enough money to purchase luxury cars but were never into cars in the first place. From my experience personally every person I have met at work (I am a computer software engineer) who is into Tesla has never been into cars before ever and still are not into cars. They are into Tesla. These are people making 180k-300k and drive around 10-year-old Hondas and Toyotas (my old boss drove a 90s Saturn). I have a \~2-year-old GTI and I have one of the nicest cars in my parking lot. The average income in the parking lot is certainly over 200k a year. & #x200B Tech car brings in tech people. This is not people realizing EVs are cheap this is tech people buying a luxury car when they did not care in the slightest about cars before and honestly still do not. They just like tech. It is an extension of them buying new phones every year and upgrading their computers every time a new chipset and video cards comes out. Engineers have a lot of money and narrow interests it s why vintage magic cards actually sell for tens of thousands of dollars. They have the money and the interest. Edit: hearing everyone s story was really interesting. From the massive feedback I get the assumption that I had the correct feeling about this sub overall. I can only imagine Tech will continue to bring more people to cars. | 2019-06-12 16:01:17 | 155 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,373 |
Suspension in Very Low | The auto-lowering on highways does Standard to Low. I know the launch mode on performance variants mandates a Very Low setting.

Ford River Rouge Complex | During the Gigafactory Q& A the other day Elon was asked why he would succeed and why he thought Ford River Rouge Complex failed. He declined to comment saying that it would get him in trouble if he said why it failed. Has Elon ever said or even hinted at why he thought it failed? Anyone have any ideas what he would have said? | 2017-01-13 20:27:07 | 5 | I had never heard of it but from Wikipedia it was a giant complex manufacturing all sorts of things including war equipment. There was some violent fight between the company and the union. But production there seemed to have long outlasted Henry Ford.

I ordered an S70 a couple weeks ago and really regretting missing out on the S60. Any reassurances? | Like the title says I ordered my S70 a couple weeks ago (18 days ago in fact). It s an S70 RWD with a couple of the bells and whistles because I want it more for the luxury features than the performance features. I drive a Leaf right now and the 100-mile range is plenty for me -- so the S60 s 200-mile range would have been plenty. I m feeling a little burned that I apparently ordered at the exact wrong time. I emailed my delivery team and was told that because my car entered pre-production before the announcement it would be built to the original configuration. It entered pre-production on Tuesday the announcement was Thursday. Needless to say I m pretty frustrated. So I m curious: * I noticed the 70 is no longer even in the Tesla designer. Did I just effectively buy a car that was immediately discontinued? Is that going to have any negative ramifications for it? * What s Tesla s cancellation policy for cars in pre-production? The web site just says to call which I ll likely do just to ask but it s easier to ask here. | 2016-06-10 13:51:36 | 21 | Welcome to Tesla ownership.

MY driver side mirror range of motion fix can now be done by SC | The issue was reported elsewhere such as [here](https: forums.tesla.com discussion 179777 my-drivers-side-mirror-wont-adjust-up-enough). I had this same issue on my 96XXX MY with auto dimming mirrors. Went in to SC and I was told that the issue is a design flaw of the mirror assembly so if the SC orders a new part it will simply have the same issue. Many SCs are not yet familiar with this issue which is surprising as it was already circulating the interwebs and I took delivery on Dec 31. At the SC the rep just removed the tabs and readjusted the mirror a 5 minute fix. Apparently the tabs are there to create spacing between the heating elements and the mirror housing but unfortunately do not account for a wide enough variety of body types and seating styles. I am 6 0 and sit with my head closer to the B pillar (though I don t consider this an aggressive lean by any means it s just what is comfortable to me). If you re getting this issue I recommend calling the SC ahead of time and having them ask around including the SC manager. Previously this fix was not official so many places were not aware and even if they were could not do it as a sanctioned repair but the guy told me that as of a few days ago it is now an official fix. Technically you could do this yourself but I recommend against that as you will probably void your warranty and want this repair documented with Tesla. Thank you to the SC team for making this a safer much quicker and less painful process for me! | 2021-01-05 19:46:15 | 77 | I just had a service tech come to my house to repair this yesterday and he said he is only allowed to trim 3mm off the spacer to make it 5mm.

The smartest idea Elon ever had was making Tesla into a tech company not a green company. | One of the biggest problems for many alternative energy environmental companies is their focus lies on how their product is going to save the world. All the customer has to do is buy the product and they will save the world!!! Everybody gets to feel good pats on the back envrionment is saved. They forget humans are selfish bastards. We got this way because we humans are greedy little monkeys. We want the coolest toys the biggest guns the tastiest fruit. In addition most of the monkeys are going to die before the world burns up. It s hard to care about something that will not affect you at all (this is why we have conservatives). So take your greedy little monkeys and put them in front of two cars. One is marketed as: (: environmentally friendly :) !!!fake leather!!!No animals were hurt in the making of THIS car!!! 0-60 in 5 seconds so you don t waste any energy!! The other is: wrrrraaahh me soo tuff. When you drive me you are faster STRONGER better. Big ICE STRONG. Buy our cars and YOU get laid. It s all about YOU. Our greedy monkey is going to buy the second one. The monkey cares about themself first and others second. This is how Tesla is winning. Instead of focusing on the EV portion and how buying a Tesla will help save the planet they are focusing on what the monkey wants. Cool gadgets full glass ceilings falcon wing doors auto-pilot. They are making an EV car for a greedy little monkeys. Monke s 4 tesla | 2021-05-06 14:55:54 | 3,268 | Tesla means a lot of things to many different people.

According to TeslaFi 3x as many Model 3 s are above firmware 2019.5 than S X | We re all excited that Tesla is delivering Model 3 in huge quantities and the sales numbers will continue to help push their mission of a sustainable future. I m excited to see more superchargers more Teslas of all kinds on the road and greater acceptance globally of Tesla. That being said as a Model X owner I couldn t help but wonder if I felt like the focus for firmware updates has gone to the Model 3 over the S and X. I looked on TeslaFi and according to their fleet tracker the Model 3 has far more vehicles on 2019.5 and above than Model S and X combined. Today of all the Model 3 s on TeslaFi 92.1% are on for was re 2019.5 or higher the majority on 2019.5.15. Of all the Models S and X in TeslaFi only 28.4% are on 2019.4 or higher. 11.2% are on 2019.4.3. 58.6% are on 2018.50.6. I think it s great that Tesla is fighting to continue delivering a great experience and growing it for the new owners of Model 3. However I feel like these numbers represent a disparity in the attention the vehicles are getting right now. The lack of ability for people to simply Check for Update and get the newest firmware shows they still have a way to go but this disparity specifically doesn t help keep S and X relevant. **UPDATE**: Lots of posts last night about how 2019.8.3 was seeing a big push which I saw on TeslaFi since last night when I crunched those numbers. 5 new S X cars were updated above 2019.4 while 9 new 3 s were updated above 2019.5. Looking at the numbers a few S X s were downgraded from 2019.9 8282d10 to 2019.8.3 da116a6 and the total number of S X on 2019.8.3 da116a6 went from 27 to 221 (as of this writing 9:15A PST). That s a great growth at first glance however we don t have VIN tracking so looking at the other rows that lost S X vehicles on previous firmware updates I think most of the cars that were updated were already in the 2019.4+ range. Only 5 new vehicles jumped above 2019.4. Meanwhile Model 3 already had a lot of vehicles above 2019.5 and only 5 new vehicles were added to 2019.5+. Lots of point releases between 2019.5 and 2019.8.3 were removed (assuming upgraded but no way to verify). | 2019-03-25 20:07:14 | 41 | Your probably right but you could make the case the firmware on the S and X is still more feature complete and less buggy. Heck Model 3 didn t even have the ability to adjust vehicle distance in autopilot. Geez. | 2019-03-25 20:09:45 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 1,218 |
My local Volunteer Fire Department asked the community to see Teslas so they could see them in person and be equipped to deal with emergencies. | The Indian Harbour Beach Volunteer Fire Department (Space Coast FL)organized an event with local fire fighters to view and learn about Teslas and EVs. 2 weeks ago one of the Fire Fighters asked the community for volunteers to bring each Tesla model in on one of their training days for them to check out and learn EV safety when it comes to crashes and rescuing passengers. He gave a presentation on each model and the different safety aspects of each (battery cut off popping the hood where to cut etc) and after let them interact with us owners and ask questions about the car. This was a great night and I hope more Fire Departments are just as forward thinking about the future as EVs become more and more mainstream!

Welp I m out... Great car bad bad customer service | Had issues with a loan earlier in my journey to purchase a car and even posted about it. Well since then I ve had so many mistakes and unanswered questions that Im Walking away the car seems great but there is no way I m going to be a customer if this is how customer service is going to be. I ve received 3 separate Vin numbers 3 separate delivery dates scheduled and now I m sitting looking at a delivery date of of the 12th and no way to pay whatsoever on the site. A Tesla rep said that a scheduled delivery date doesnt mean I m scheduled to pick it up....... Not kidding serious to my face.

Color options for the Cybertruck | Stainless steel can actually be tempered to create different colors. I think that the Cybertruck has a great opportunity to be naturally colored by heat tempering the steel. * Faint-yellow – 176 °C (349 °F) * Light-straw – 205 °C (401 °F) * Dark-straw – 226 °C (439 °F) * Brown – 260 °C (500 °F) * Purple – 282 °C (540 °F) * Dark blue – 310 °C (590 °F) * Light blue – 337 °C (639 °F) * Grey-blue – 371 °C (700 °F) & #x200B All of that can be done before assembly and won t compromise the integrity of the vehicle but will produce a color that doesn t require paint. & #x200B [https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Tempering\_(metallurgy)#Tempering\_colors](https: en.wikipedia.org wiki Tempering_(metallurgy)#Tempering_colors) | 2019-12-17 21:33:48 | 204 | That would only work if you tempered the steel before cold-rolling it otherwise you lose the strength. & #x200B I don t know if the steel will keep its color if cold-rolled after tempering. & #x200B That being said I d go for 590F or 650F: [https: upload.wikimedia.org wikipedia commons thumb 8 89 Tempering\_standards\_used\_in\_blacksmithing.JPG 1024px-Tempering\_standards\_used\_in\_blacksmithing.JPG](https: upload.wikimedia.org wikipedia commons thumb 8 89 Tempering_standards_used_in_blacksmithing.JPG 1024px-Tempering_standards_used_in_blacksmithing.JPG) | 2019-12-17 22:00:09 | 103 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 3,987 |
To what degree will Tesla allow install companies to make money off of their solar roofs? | Hi folks! I ve been turning this idea over in my head all day. I live in Pueblo Colorado. The city has about 105 000 people and is largely industrial and we have one electricity provider - Black Hills Energy. The people in this town *hate* BHE. Hate hate hate to vitriolic levels. Reasons for this are typical of why anyone would hate a utility corp they keep driving up prices but offer no real additional value. This got me thinking a lot about Tesla s solar roof product. I want to be involved in the solar industry like none other. A career in this industry would give me real purpose in an area I am passionate about. But to what degree can I be involved? I would ideally like to run an installation company that works just like a regular roofing company (but obviously with skilled electricians) but could I advertise and approach potential customers with Tesla s products? Tesla historically has been in favor of the word of mouth concept but obviously something like a roof is a totally different animal product wise to their cars. I know there s no real data yet so any discussion is purely speculative. But I would like your thoughts nonetheless. Has anyone else considered taking this path? | 2017-03-18 21:11:27 | 18 | There s a lot of labor involved so even if you were forbidden to mark up the price of the product there would still be a lot of money in it for you. Tesla probably would think care about your labor rates as long as your charges are honest and you aren t giving them a black eye by overcharging or unjustified up-selling. | 2017-03-18 23:57:22 | 6 | Issues with Tesla Energy Installation | 21,295 |

Who installs SuperChargers | Just out of curiosity: does Tesla have a in-house team that travels and installs Superchargers everywhere or is it an industrial electrician in every state country? | 2016-12-12 17:33:34 | 13 | Tesla has an in-house team that determines locations and works on the contracts with private property. They then hire a independent contractor in each state and provide them with specifications for installation.

[Discussion] Silly reasons support gave for slow supercharging expected rates in moderate cold | 1. You set your charge stop point at 80% so it goes slower. 2. The state of Illinois limits it to 60kwh. Look at this page about supercharger tiered pricing. 3. The supercharger cable was cold. It s common knowledge around here that Tesla phone support is not very helpful but come on now. It doesn t take much training to know that those are silly answers (I don t know with certainty about #3 but that doesn t pass the smell test). These came from two reps in consultation with people not on the phone. My issue was I had a 20-25% charge on a Model 3 it was 31F 0C outside charged at home at 32 Amps for 30-40 minutes with full regen and no snowflake icon before leaving then drove 45 minutes averaging 30 mph before getting to the charger. I was the only person there touched 80 kW for a handful of seconds and then never went above 62 kW. I just want to know if that is an acceptable rate given all the variables or if I have an issue. I m going on a 2 500mi road trip in a couple weeks and I m worried. This was my third experiment and I ve never gotten a sustained rate over about 60 kW (my first two experiments weren t as controlled but I did try different stalls). | 2018-11-18 19:46:47 | 16 | It s because mercury is in retrograde of course And the position of the moon effects the tides of the electrons pumping through the cable. Sometimes depending on where Jupiter is it can actually start pulling electrons out of your car back into the supercharger | 2018-11-18 21:17:31 | 7 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 24,736 |

Smart summon visualisation in Canada | In the US there is a radar like view that shows up the phone. Here in Canada it seems to be missing. Does anyone know why? Actually missing isn t technically correct... Today a bunch of owners were safely playing around with smart summon in an empty parking lot and one person s iPhone app reported connection lost while summoning. He back arrowed out of summon screen and back to the main Tesla app screen but in the top third of the app it was showing the radar view for about 10 seconds. Try as we might we couldn t duplicate things and never saw the radar screen again. If we were all just morons (YEP) and not doing something right I d love for someone to point out what we should have tried. If it really is missing in Canada why and doesn t it seem extra odd that we were able to see it for a few seconds? EDIT: while it doesn t explain the glitch my friend experienced turning on the summon standby mode was the missing element. | 2019-10-13 01:35:55 | 10 | Do you have standby summon enabled?

Best way to voice call someone with multiple numbers? | I m amazed this is not easier than it is unless I m missing something. If I have a contact in my phone (iPhone X) with multiple numbers and I say “call xyz” it pops up with that stupidly small scrolling window that only fits about one and a half numbers on there. The order seems to be random because it s not matching what s in my phone it s hard to see while driving it s tiny you have to scroll and it disappears if you don t choose something within like 5 seconds. It s basically a hazard. What s worse is that the car recognizes each number for what they are mobile home etc. but even saying “call xyz mobile” still just does the same as described above. All these new features like Mario Kart are great but is there really no better solution to this problem yet other than creating separate contacts in my phone? | 2019-07-02 12:00:47 | 36 | Call James Smith Mobile Call Bob Jones Work & #x200B It doesn t seem to give me any trouble. | 2019-07-02 12:45:58 | 32 | Spotify Integration Analysis | 2,869 |
Model 3 Seat Stiching | I have a model 3 that is coming up on it s 1 year anniversary in July. The stiching on the driver s seat is coming a part and now I have a small hole because of it. I called Tesla to schedule an appointment to have this repaired under the warranty. Tesla responded that it was not covered under the warranty and would cost me $750. I read the warranty and don t see any where that seat stiching is excluded. Has anyone experienced this? | 2019-06-22 06:18:49 | 18 | Is loose or faulty stitching covered by warrantee? I agree with OP Tesla should admit the fault in the stitching and do the right thing here. --- If you want to stop fighting Tesla over this get a quote from a local auto upholstery place. They might be willing to stitch up your seat for $20. | 2019-06-22 06:26:24 | 18 | Tesla Service Experience Feedback | 11,969 |

Tormenting my fiance from afar with the Tesla App. | I am in Ohio for some company business. I miss my Model X which is back home in Los Angeles. While I am gone my fiance has been driving the X everyday while I drive this cruddy Chevy Cruz rental. However I found the best remedy to this affliction is by spamming the Honk Horn button on the app whenever she least expects it. This means when she is sitting at a Supercharger. Or when she gets to work and just parked the car (using the location to monitor the car). Even better...we have Canary cameras in our house. If I see her on the couch watching TV honking the horn makes her jump. She also jumps when the app tells me the HomeLink was activated when she gets home and I give her 30 seconds to finish parking the car and gets out to plug it in and I happen to honk the horn. It is hilarious. She says she will get her revenge.... | 2017-01-29 21:54:56 | 421 | holy cow. No secrets in that relationship lmao | 2017-01-29 22:54:19 | 192 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 21,357 |
Now a Tesla family! | Quick backstory my parents already have a reservation for the Model X and with the news that they are delayed a bit longer they wanted something to tide them over. They looked into the usual vehicles Leaf Volt etc. but were not impressed with what you got for the price. And then... they got the email about the current sale Tesla is offering on showroom loaner test-drive vehicles ($1 off per mile and 2% off for every month they owned the vehicle). We went to the new store in Decatur GA today (only open 4 days) to check out the list of the ones that would fit the sale. There were a few to choose from and one that my mom liked. It took a little convincing from me but she put the reservation money on it and now are waiting to get it shipped up from Florida. She ended up with a 2014 Pearl White 19in wheels black roof tech package and the textile upholstery. Not the fanciest and probably the cheapest available but still a Tesla. Certainly good enough to tide her over until they can get their Model X. Upon leaving they gave her a little Tesla bag with a small plastic Model S that was recycled from the scraps of plastic parts on the Model S. I ended up buying a coffee mug myself since I can t afford an S (waiting for the 3 for my wife and I). Sorry for the long post. I m beside myself with excitement right now. TL DR: Parents took advantage of Tesla sale and just ordered a 2014 Pearl White Model S! | 2014-11-25 21:45:36 | 12 | Did it have 3 279 miles on it and did the VIN end in 47023?

Not being able to adjust regen braking on Model 3 is straight up dangerous in snow | I live in a cold and snowy climate and often drive up to our cabin in the mountains in winter. They plough the roads here but do not salt and it is a legal requirement to have winter tires. Often at higher altitudes and on gravel roads there is still some standing snow on the road. When driving last weekend the car would fishtail often whenever the regen braking kicked in which is almost impossible to avoid. I don t know why they removed the option to adjust it but at the very least it would be great to have a Snow function where things like regen are dialed back for safety and chill mode is turned on. As it is right now it performs worse than our front wheel drive ICE car with winter tires and is seriously pretty sketchy to drive at times. Edit: I have the 2021 Model 3 Long Range Edit 2: This kinda blew up. 1. If it wasn t clear in my post I have winter tires which were ordered through Tesla. 2. The counterargument here seems to be that Tesla drivers should feather the throttle . That works fine in mild winter conditions in my experience under ideal driving conditions. Where it doesn t work well is driving on roads with standing snow. If you are driving on an empty road where you can slow down well in advance you can manage to deal with it. But if for example a pedestrian or other obstacle is on the other side of a blind corner this is extremely dangerous. 3. This seems to be yet another example where 50% of Redditors put 100% of the burden on the driver and the other 50% are trying to hold Tesla accountable for basic safety features. This dynamic drives me kinda nuts to be honest. What s the harm in pointing out obvious issues for a car that promises to be constantly improving through software updates? Edit 3: you heard it here first folks I m coining a new term “Telsasplaining”: the art of blaming all QC issues safety faults and other obvious Tesla flaws on the driver rather than the company who makes the cars. | 2021-01-04 14:40:56 | 2,692 | As Teslabjorn has said a few times they need a snow mode. | 2021-01-04 17:06:42 | 1,214 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,172 |
Are the used 2017 Tesla S sold by Tesla directly capable of full autopilot 2.5 and 3.0? I really want to be sure of the autopilot feature is capable of 3.0. Is it correct that the 2017 Tesla S 75 with autopilot can be upgraded to the equivalent of the latest autopilot with the $2500 MCU upgrade? | Are the used 2017 Tesla S sold by Tesla directly capable of full autopilot 2.5 and 3.0? I really want to be sure of the autopilot feature is capable of 3.0. Is it correct that the 2017 Tesla S 75 with autopilot can be upgraded to the equivalent of the latest autopilot with the $2500 MCU upgrade? Alternatively should I just get a new Tesla 3 but I am not particularly fond of the look. | 2020-11-11 22:40:13 | 5 | Some early 2017 cars still had HW2.0 which have different cameras vs HW2.5. Both versions do offer the FSD option but if given a choice I d get a later 2017 one that has 2.5 with the cameras that can handle more colors. You will get the HW3.0 computer for free if the car has the FSD option with it and you don t need to pay for the MCU upgrade to get it. Though the MCU upgrade is a huge improvement in performance and I highly recommend it and you will gain more FSD visualizations but Tesla is saying its not necessary for the actual driving FSD capability features. I like the looks of the S but have a hard time recommending a used one vs a more modern Tesla. Currently have a LR 3 and P100D X full loaded and have driven many different S s. I think the 3 is an incredible car its pretty common in CA but I feel I would go for a new LR 3 over a used pre raven S. The new 3 charges quicker has much better range vs a 75 S. Handling on the 3 is more fun due to its size. Interior passenger space isnt all that much different in a S and 3 but you do lose trunk space. I actually prefer the pop out screen of the 3 vs the built in screen of the X because its easier to reach while driving but the con is that it doesnt have the sleek integrated look. New 3 Y would be my recommendation. You really want the most range you can get a 75 S will struggle to get over 200 miles in real driving range. If you need more space the Y is a practical choice the only major thing you give up vs a 3 is the handling doesn t quite compete. | 2020-11-11 22:49:51 | 11 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 2,200 |
Request: Last mile directions on Supercharger locations and or tall logo signs | I ve been to 57 different superchargers in 14 states and I ve found that it s not always readily apparent where the supercharger stalls are going to be. There are some patterns that you notice after a while like that Meijer or Kroger tends to be where the superchargers are in the non-urban midwest but other times it s a bit of a crapshoot as to where you re supposed to be looking for those white stalls. There are two improvements that I think can be made to provide a better experience: 1. Last mile directions that provide visual landmarks above and beyond directions to an address. Think of things similar to on the 5th floor of the Maxwell parking garage (Chicago Canal) on the 7th floor of the NEWCITY parking garage (Chicago North Halsted) or behind the Perkins (Butte MT). PlugShare has this kind of information but we shouldn t have to rely on a 3rd party app to find Superchargers. 2. In non-urban areas tall logo signs would be very helpful. Think of the ones used by gas stations hotels and fast food chains next to highways that give you a general idea of where that establishment is. All you d need is the white T on a red field (similar to this subreddit s logo) & #x200B I ve included two drone photos from my most recent trip to illustrate places where logo signs would be useful. In both cases the superchargers were in mall parking lots and under tree cover (which is an asset in the South for sure) so just a bit of additional guidance would make things easier.

It s *sometimes* present when you tap on the supercharger icon on the map but I gave up on trying to find one charger in particular because the instructions were too vague and were impossible to follow in the dark. Weirdly though I cannot remember for the life of me where that was. Definitely room for improvement! 2. Again these SOMETIMES exist. Kettleman City CA comes to mind.

Autopilot isn t on Idiot - Feature | I was driving today and tried to enable autopilot on a back road without lines and it rejected me. Right after I started to drift a little too close to the edge of the road and my Model 3 screeched at me and jerked the car back into the middle of the lane. It appears to address an edge case where a driver tried to engage autopilot and it can t engage but then the driver somehow thinks it IS engaged and lets the car drive and it starts drifting. The car reacts by drastically jerking you back into line and yelling at you as if to so “NO... I said I m NOT driving for you!” This isn t a behavior I d observed before so I renacted the scenario for you here: https: youtu.be Ex_gXNleJLU This is not a behavior I ve seen described on here before either so I thought you d find it interesting. | 2019-04-10 03:41:53 | 249 | That s a pretty damn good feature. | 2019-04-10 04:00:33 | 83 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 2,557 |

[Discussion] Thoughts on how the Software Lock on Model X works? Also would you pay the $8k to upgrade from 270 miles to 295? | I m about to buy a new Model X and am considering the 270 mile range vs the 295 mile range. I was surprised to learn that they are literally the same battery and it is just software locked. Because it s the same battery does this mean I ll be able to take the battery closer to 0-> 100 for charging since 8% of it is automatically locked away anyway? Any thoughts on whether there may be deals in the future to unlock it for half price? What do you guys think generally on paying the extra $8k for the 25 miles? I want the 25 miles but $8k for it seems insane... and if it s just a software lock shouldn t I be able to pay to unlock it down the road? | 2019-02-18 02:41:43 | 17 | I would not pay the $8k for those extra miles. Honestly not sure why Tesla even offers that (I think Tesla just had to reduce the base price of S X). Unless you really really need those 25 miles for some reason. It s pretty poor value for miles cost. And 25 miles of extra range probably won t make a huge difference anyways. Even without the upgrade it s still 13 more miles that the previous flagship Model X 90D. I would spend that money elsewhere on Autopilot or some other option. And yes you can definitely charge to 100% each day as it s not really 100% of the battery due to the software lock. | 2019-02-18 02:47:23 | 37 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 24,829 |

In the process of buying a model 3 and I m a bit apprehensive | Ok I m new to reddit. So excuse me if this whole typed thing is wrong. I m in the process of buying the model 3. I nearly bought it today. My whole life I ve only been exposed to the “traditional” car. And this technology is just more advanced than anything I thought possible for a car. So to those Tesla owners or supporters of the technological advances that Tesla is making is it a good investment? Truly? The salesperson made it sound so good that I questioned why most people wouldn t go for a Tesla. (I m from Texas so you don t see many Tesla s in my city (which isn t a small town)). In the long run would you recommend it? Does it really make a difference in your life? What are some negatives if any things like that.

I really hope so because that feature is amazing. I manually do this when I see those shorty cars trucks polluting in front of me. Sometimes I m not fast enough and I get skunked. | 2018-07-24 13:48:57 | 16 | I just drove through Yosemite which has a massive forest fire burning nearby. About halfway through the park the air was thick and brown with smoke maybe 20 feet of visibility almost panic inducing it was so thick - but I couldn t smell it in the car. Pretty amazing really. | 2018-07-24 14:21:55 | 11 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 5,539 |
Supercharging Access Blocked-due to unpaid fees | Today I charged at a super charger and after leaving the super charger I got an app notification and an email saying that Supercharging Access Blocked due to unpaid fees. CC on my Tesla account is current and active I recently charged on a super charger 3 days ago and had no issue. When I log into my Tesla account and view charging history I see all the fees paid except the latest charge that prompted the notification and email. The latest charge has the pay now button which I select and bring up the CC on the Tesla account to use as payment. The payment goes through with no issue and now the latest charge has been paid for. Has any one experienced this before? Was there an update to the charging screen in the car that you have to authorize the payment when done charging...that I missed? Or was this just an odd glitch at the specific supercharger? Thanks! | 2020-09-01 04:31:14 | 36 | Odd. Ever since updating to 32.3 on my S100D with free unlimited supercharging the SC UI has an angry PAYMENT REQUIRED red label even though I have no outstanding fees. So far it hasn t cut me off yet. | 2020-09-01 04:59:16 | 27 | Tesla Referral Program Issues | 18,032 |
Model X vs. Model S (?) - Comparing them and why you would buy one over the other | Hey All curious to know what made you decide to buy a Model X or a Model S when compared to each other. In my mind it comes down to these factors: Model X 1. Model X for people hauling (up to 7 adults) 2. Model X for higher seating position Model S 1. Better Handling Dynamics & Performance 2. Better styling 3. Practical cargo capacity | 2016-04-27 15:51:42 | 6 | I originally put down a deposit for a Model X 1.5 years ago and then they announced additional delays so I switched it over to a Model S. Right now if I was comparing the two... I d probably still get an S. I m not a huge fan of the X look (cross overs not my style IMO it looks like an angry fat prius) the Model S has more cargo room (especially with my RWD and giant frunk) and I prefer the lower seat position driving. Also the X is more expensive of course. My wife would go for the X. | 2016-04-27 16:02:40 | 8 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 12,874 |
Model 3 hardware | How do we know what hardware our model 3 has? What is the time of manufacturing that or vin number range that it changed? I guess it will be obvious if I do not have updated driver visualizations when I get the new software. Just would like to know what I got. I have vin 38xxx and took possession July 2018. | 2019-12-24 17:26:17 | 13 | If you ve got a 2018 build and haven t been upgraded you re on 2.5.

What did Elon mean by the Reign of Ramses II comment in the shareholder video (2018) | https: youtu.be VZ4IHfUqGVU?t=8m46s he mentions something about energy since may 2018... does this mean tesla is making more energy next year than all of history? I dont understand 100%. can someone clear this up? | 2018-06-08 16:35:08 | 11 | You could say from ten years ago until May 2018 or you can say from Ramses II until May 2018. They went with Ramses II to be funny. | 2018-06-08 16:39:18 | 29 | Musk's Tesla Take-Private Saga | 22,581 |
FYI for anyone with an Amazon Prime membership Jeremy Clarkson just reviewed the Model X on The Grand Tour (Episode 10 Oh Canada ) | Said that Tesla is fast becoming a major automaker and can no longer be ignored (they hadn t planned on reviewing another after the Roadster lawsuit). | 2018-02-08 23:47:15 | 572 | I was under the impression that Jeremy Clarkson has an anti EV bias. Hopefully this means he is becoming a bit more open minded. | 2018-02-09 00:40:21 | 95 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 6,295 |

Abandoned by Delivery Advisor | Hello All Turing to this wonderful community for help as my delivery advisor seems to have abandoned ship. I was scheduled to take delivery of my P3D (Day 1 Inline Reservation) yesterday at the Fremont Delivery Hub but never received the signed purchase agreement needed to pickup the financing check from my credit union. I ve been reaching out to my delivery advisor via email phone and voicemails (literally tens of calls a day!) without any response and now my VIN has also disappeared from my account.....feeling fairly frustrated and abandoned at this time. Now trying to reach Tesla through customer service to figure out what the hell is happening. Any advise is greatly appreciated. | 2018-09-09 18:31:33 | 47 | If you can t reach your ISA then definitely call Tesla s main number and ask those folks. | 2018-09-09 18:42:32 | 38 | Tesla Model 3 Delivery Experiences | 1,154 |

Phone Charging Issue - Model 3 | I upgraded from the iPhone 10S Max to the iPhone 11 Pro Max recently and now the Model 3 s dock charger isn t working. The phone will constantly light up as if it is initiating a charge but then the charging stops. This cycle repeats over and over while driving (roughly every 20 seconds or less). It s hard for me to say whether this is a phone issue or a V10 issue because I got both around the same time but I didn t have this problem on V9 with my old phone. I suspected that this might have been caused by the new Optimized Battery Charging option in iOS13 but the issue happens with it on or off. Should I report this to service or is this an issue with my phone? | 2019-10-24 11:49:51 | 19 | Have you tried swapping the cable to see if it s that? I d also try the USB ports in the back of the arm rest with the same cable to see if they give you any issues? You could also see if the problem is fixed by using a wireless charging pad? A screen re-boot could also help (hold scroll-wheels in at the same time until you see the Tesla logo on the screen). I believe I was having a charging issue one time from one of the ports I did a hard reset on the phone and also rebooted the car and that fixed it for me (no problems in 6 months). I d try everything before contacting service. It will limit the amount of time you would have to spend troubleshooting. | 2019-10-24 12:45:48 | 7 | Tesla charging port locking | 15,151 |
