Model S 100D different powertrains | Hi Im looking to buy a used Model S 100D and have a question i cant seem to find the answer to. How many different powertrains are available for the 100D Specifically between 2017-2018 Some used cars i find are specifies at 525hp some at 4xx som at 3xx I am very confused about it and want to make sure i get the 525hp model with most power and range. Also is there some models i should avoid or be aware of 2017 vs. 2018 Hope you can help out and clarify | 2021-10-27 08:59:12 | 6 | Backing up u feurie here if it s a 100D that *is* the powertrain. Tesla doesn t really publish horsepower numbers so anybody providing an estimate is basically guessing or using third-party measurements. They should all be exactly the same performance. | 2021-10-27 15:41:23 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 12,513 |
2-hourly internal temp spikes | Someone recently posted on a UK owners facebook group about weird temperature spikes that they d noticed while the car was awake. It piqued my interest although my initial suspicion was a rogue 3rd party app or similar. After running a couple of tests of my own I was intrigued to find that my own car (2021 MIC model 3 performance) does exactly the same thing. While the car s awake but unused (e.g. during charging or if sentry mode is left on) every 2 hours there s a spike in the car s internal temperature as though the car is running the heater briefly - although the API reports that climate is off for the duration and fans are at 0 for the duration. I m assuming the same thing doesn t happen when the car is asleep but it s obviously impossible to detect through the Tesla API if the car is asleep. In my tests the spikes align with 2-hourly intervals from when the car wakes up which seems to suggest it s tied to the car being online. The graph below is take from Teslamate\* during a 9hr scheduled overnight AC charge showing the internal temperature in yellow (°c). The two-hourly spikes are pretty obvious... https: preview.redd.it x27v9bldtww91.png?width=1370& format=png& auto=webp& s=639f751439dc6fb96044832e968b82268883e944 Key events listed below: * The car woke up and began to charge at 23:13. * The first spike is at 01:13 when the internal temp jumps from 13.6 to 14.2. * The second spike is at 02:13\*\* when the internal temp jumps again from 12.5 to 13.2 * The third is at 04:13 temp jumps from 12.8 to 13.6 * The fourth is at 06:13 temp jumps from 12.7 to 13.2 * Climate is off for the duration * Fan status is 0 for the duration This is a reduced-amp AC charge. I d deliberately lowered the amps to 20A to drag out the length of the charge to better show the behaviour. That s a roughly 5kW charge so unlikely to be any requirement to dump excess heat from the battery - especially considering the overnight external temp was around 11°c. You can also see the same behaviour without any charging if the car is awake due to sentry for example. Anyone got any idea what s going on here? \* The charging reports in Teslamate don t actually show internal temp but you can see this by taking a note of the time that the car was online (E.g. the start stop time of a long AC charge or sentry session) then clicking on a Drive breakdown and modifying the start and end time to match the time of interest. \*\* This is actually a two hour gap as it straddles the BST GMT switch when our clocks jumped back an hour here in the UK | 2022-10-30 09:17:09 | 96 | Any chance you have an external temperature logger you could leave in the car? I wonder if it s just a byproduct of the temperature sensor being near some chip component that cycles and warms it up a tad or there is some tiny fan that cycles on briefly to update the internal vehicle temp? In other words is it really or is it just bad data? | 2022-10-30 11:08:25 | 109 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 361 |

Once I saw the performance numbers I knew I also would want the P when that was a thing. I think a safe estimate for that will be $70-75k. Throw in the year and a half wait meaning I lease something for 24 months to get me to the delivery date (12-15k out of pocket for that) and I m now really close to the S 75D. Couple that with the fact that I ve got a gut feeling the P3D-LR will probably do 3 or 3.33 in the 0-60 (because marketing synergy and the ability to tune by software) it just seemed like a good call to get into my dream car now as the extra 1 sec in 0-60 isn t worth losing the more premium items in the S vs. the 3 IMO. *Questions* 1: Are the factory wheels necessary for things like auto-park or anything else to function properly? If not I ll probably rather spend the $4500 I have in my build in aftermarket just to be a bit more unique. (Something that matters an inordinate amount to me sadly) 2: Do any of you all have experience with just blacking out the chrome elements? If so could you provide costs you ve experienced? I m going to do research after I get the car but figured worth taking a straw-poll. | 2017-09-03 00:29:51 | 3 | Growth and Moderation of r/teslamotors | 25,948 |
Model 3 Road Trips and Car Camping | My wife and I went on a 6 200 mile road trip from Charleston SC to California across the USA in our Model 3 this past Christmas and New Years. We documented the trip on our [EV.EXplorer Instagram](https: www.instagram.com ev.explorer ). We have some [pics of our setup for camping in the car](https: www.instagram.com p Brv5HYBhx43 ) and how that worked out for us. We mostly Supercharged and would spend nights at campgrounds or RV parks and Level 2 charge. We purchased the [Exped MegaMat Duo 10 Sleeping Pad from REI](https: www.rei.com product 113720 exped-megamat-duo-10-sleeping-pad) (regular size) and found that to fit perfectly with the back seats folded down. The rear seats do not fold down flat but it s close. This does make a noticeable difference when sleeping in the car. I would up in the night and noticed that I had slid down a bit and my feet would be touching the trunk. I never did remove the back seat butt cushion but it does seem like it would be [fairly easy to do](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=GNQla0zTg1Q). We were driving for pretty long days during Winter so we never felt like bothering with it. When we do our next trip though I may give this a shot. I do think I would have slept better without the incline. I am 5 8 and my wife is 5 2 . She always had plenty of room and I was right around the limit of what I would have found comfortable. If you re over 6 0 you might be cramped. If you re around the 6 mark or taller I think removing the back seat will be a must for you. We had a tough time finding info before we set out for our trip but it turned out to be a blast. I imagine autopilot drove us for 95% of the trip. It s amazing how much better we felt at the end of the long days with AP on. It is way way less mentally taxing not having to be fully engaged while driving. If anyone has any questions I d love to answer them! I dropped pins in [geothinQ](https: www.geothinQ.com) each time we stopped to charge check out our route below. https: i.redd.it 6vg3x8od0oc31.jpg | 2019-07-26 15:23:03 | 90 | You can remove the rear seat cushions easily (with no tools) to lay flat: [https: www.youtube.com watch?v=GNQla0zTg1Q](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=GNQla0zTg1Q) | 2019-07-26 16:28:47 | 15 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 11,931 |
Charging troubles. | Hi I need some help here..I just recently purchased a Tesla and need help with charging. I was just planning on using my dryer outlet which is a NEMA 10-30 but since tesla doesn t sell any 10-30 adapters I now have a NEMA 14-30 adapter. Can I just simply buy a 14-30 outlet and swap it for the 10-30? I literally have no idea how any of this works. Any info helps. Thank you Edit: forgot to mention for those who don t know 10-30 adapter has been discontinued for awhile. | 2020-03-24 03:24:48 | 11 | 10-30 is hot-hot-neutral no ground. 6-30 is hot-hot-ground 14-30 is hot-hot-neutral-ground. There s 240v between the hots and 120v between either hot and the neutral on the 10-30 and 14-30 (6-30 provides 240v only with no 120v capability) If there s a ground wire in the box you can replace it with a 14-30 receptacle and use the 14-30 adapter. If there s no ground wire you have a few options. All of them require converting the existing neutral wire to a ground instead. If the cable run goes to a sub panel then there s separate ground and neutral busses and you need to move it to the ground one and mark it as a ground (put green electrical tape on both ends of the conductor run). If it goes to the main panel the ground and neutral should terminate at the same bus bar so you just need to mark it. Option 1: Tesla doesn t sell a first party 6-30 adapter but there seem to be some third-party options for the Gen2 connectors so get one and replace the 10-30 with a 6-30 receptacle with ground instead of neutral. Option 2: install a 6-30 as above and make or buy a cheater cable with a 6-30 plug to 14-30 receptacle with the neutral unconnected and label it prominently for Tesla use only. You will wreak havoc if you try to connect any 120 240 appliance that expects the missing neutral. Option 3: replace the receptacle with a HPWC instead using the two hots and repurposed ground since it doesn t need the neutral. If you don t have 4 conductors in the box it s against code to install a 14-30 without the neutral connected since as stated above it ll break anything plugged in that requires a 120v leg. In any event you should hire an electrician to make sure whatever solution you end up with is in compliance with your local code. | 2020-03-24 04:08:50 | 12 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 3,870 |
TM3 steering column powered retraction now (intermittently) noisy | I have a LR RWD TM3 built in May 2018 VIN 023xxx. I have 35 000 kms on the car. Last week whilst on vacation upon entering the car as the seat and steering wheel assumed the pre-saved positions for driving I heard (and felt) a low(er) frequency groan form either the power seat or the power steering wheel column motors. When I tried to duplicate it there was no abnormal noise. Three days later it did it again and I was able to determine it was the steering wheel column motor assembly that was making the groan.....only this time when the steering wheel was retracting away from me prior to exiting the car. Yesterday the same thing happened once (could not re-duplicate). Has anyone else experienced this and had it corrected by Tesla? If so was a Tesla Ranger Service involved and able to do solve the problem at your location? Thanks Cheers **EDIT: Thanks for the quick replies. Sounds like a simple issue of correct lubrication. Once it starts to do it often enough that it is reliably repeatable I ll try and book a Ranger visit. Cheers.** | 2019-09-16 11:42:56 | 12 | I had the same issue and its an easy fix. Service tech just needs to apply some more lubricant near the column motor and it will be fixed. | 2019-09-16 13:42:11 | 3 | Tesla Noise Concerns | 18,145 |
Feels like Tesla lacks several drivers assistance features other brands have had for years | First of all I love my Model 3 and would never buy another ICE car after owning it. But every time I am driving in friends vehicles I am jealous of the inclusion of obvious safety features Tesla completely refuses to add. For such a technically advanced vehicle it shocks me that there is no option for the following features: \- REAL blind spot assist. My favorite implementation of this is Mercedes Maserati with a bright red triangle in the mirror when a car is in your blind spot. Toyota and others with the orange icon are also solid. Tesla used to have an option for this to display on screen but it was silently removed because it was implemented so poorly. Nobody wants to look at a screen while lane changing put the indicator on the mirror where we re already looking. I know proper hardware for this (nor the mirror LED) don t exist so this can t really be added OTA. \- Rear cross traffic alert. Warns when cars are driving perpendicular behind you when backing up. Again no rear radars so it couldn t easily be added OTA. \- 360 camera(!). Teslas have so many cameras it feels like this would be a no brainer. I realize there are licensing requirements for this but come on. If Hundai can add it on their mid $20k vehicles Tesla has no excuse. Does anyone else feel annoyed by this? I know people have been driving for decades just fine without this safety tech but it s a shame that not even the most expensive Teslas have ANY of these features. It bums me out to see how much development time Tesla uses to add new games but doesn t address any of these basic drivers assistance features that have existed for well over a decade. | 2020-10-09 22:05:41 | 201 | Don t need blind spot assist when the car is going to drive itself Real Soon^(TM). | 2020-10-10 05:35:39 | 93 | Issues with Sentry Mode | 6,577 |

Possibility of Autopilot HW 4 being announced in a similar fashion to HW3 at AI Day Part II? | Curious what you all think. HW4 seems to have been in development for a while now (Autonomy Day in April 2019 confirmed current development) and it has been said many times that it will be in the Cybertruck which is looking likely at some point in 2023. This would probably be a great event to debut it at a high level. | 2022-08-07 01:50:07 | 39 | For cars: Low. They are aiming at a wide release of FSD by end-of-year. And they will not do a hardware revision before that happens. But there is a good chance that the hardware running on Optimus is different - less performance (fewer cameras lower speeds) with far far less power consumption (the robot doesn t have a 50KWh battery) | 2022-08-07 06:50:24 | 27 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 15,344 |
Brand New X Squealing Brakes for 3 000 miles. This normal? | So I ve had my model x back to the SC three times now (for other things) but each time I tell them to check the brakes. the first time they say it s normal for the first 50 miles. The second time they say that s normal for the first 2 000 miles. This last time they said it s normal for 5 000 miles but did a brake burn in anyhow and it still squeals non stop like a $500 jalopy. Is this just my special snowflake X or do others have this long brake break- in period? (Edit Sorry mods I d love to flair but don t have that option on bacon reader from my cell phone. Any help appreciated. I ll flair it when i get to my home computer. ) | 2017-01-07 01:18:02 | 12 | Odds are that your Regen isn t working in the cold and the car is forced to use mechanical brakes which have a slight buildup up oxidation or corrosion. The squeak may be the rubbing off of this buildup. don t own a Tesla so don t take my word. I m hopeful that a more knowledgeable person can refute or build on my theory. edit... misread your issue... thought they just began squeaking. upon reread I see they ve been squeaking the whole 3 000 miles. | 2017-01-07 02:07:19 | 7 | Tesla Noise Concerns | 3,024 |

[Discussion] Showing a Model 3 at a car show | I have started thinking about widening the ways in which I share my excitement about Tesla with others and I might begin to attend car shows so more people can see it. So I started thinking about the best way to do that. So far I ve thought of the following areas. Please feel free to add ideas or refine the ones below. **Secure the car** I think the best way to secure the car is to put the car in showroom mode ([discussed here](https: old.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 8z1r6t how_to_enter_your_tesla_into_showroom_mode )) and turn off the bluetooth on your mobile phone so the car doesn t sense any authorized keys nearby. You may also want to put the car in Valet mode to prevent anyone from seeing stored SatNav locations like Home or Work . Some owners may feel comfortable allowing viewers to enter the car other (old) threads in other forums also suggest creating a new driver profile with the driver seat in a position that might accommodate viewers (if the owner is quite short or tall). **Advertise the features** Many cars at car shows have an acrylic placard nearby to describe the car s details features and interesting facts. I think that would be a great opportunity to talk about facts like: it s made in the USA charging times range efficiency horsepower torque ratings 0-60mph times weight cost of ownership details local map of superchargers public chargers and maybe your referral link if seeing the car pushes their buying decision over the edge. Maybe you d always want to bring the UMC to show how the car connects to a charger. Are there are talented graphic designers who have made something like this already? **Defeat the haters** I imagine that every car show will have some petrol heads who believe that EVs are worse for the environment than ICEs. You can be ready for these conversations by knowing how most of the electricity in your local grid is generated (most places aren t burning coal any more) and how much energy it takes to refine a gallon of gasoline ([this thread says 6kwh](https: forums.tesla.com forum forums how-display-car-show)). | 2018-08-21 12:14:22 | 32 | Print cards with your Tesla referral code and hand them over to people who might want to purchase an eligible one for some free supercharging! | 2018-08-21 12:45:55 | 31 | Model 3 phone key issues | 24,734 |

PSA: Parking enforcement tickets cars without front plates in the Santa Monica CA Supercharger | I was supercharging in the Santa Monica supercharger and was in my car listening to music. I saw a enforcer circle around the Tesla charging stalls a few times looking around. About 20 minutes later a parking enforcer came by and started looking at my rear plates so I came out and asked if there was anything wrong. He asked if I had a front license plates since I only had rear plates. He said that you need a front plate in California. I was let go with just a warning because “he didn t see me in the car” when he came by. So if you re charging here make sure you have a front plate or stay in your car or you ll get a fix-it ticket. | 2019-02-24 18:07:38 | 158 | Why don t you just… put the front plate on | 2019-02-24 18:59:40 | 95 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,886 |
So i know i am about to ask this to the tesla reddit but i am going to be in the market for a car in the next 3-5 years or so. Why should i buy tesla over honda or other extremely reliable good brands? | To preface this...I am a teacher so my salary is not incredibly big and i am still paying off student loans as well. Is a Tesla even an option for me? Why would it be better then a new civic in the next few years? How would the charging work for me who would commute to work 30 minutes to and 30 minutes back. Or taking a road trip? Does Tesla have a way of brining up charging stations at your destination? I live in the heartland and i have only seen one public charging station near me. Sorry these could be dumb questions but i am just trying to gauge what my options are and if I should really be interested in a model 3 or not. I appreciate the time! | 2017-07-29 16:22:10 | 33 | If you re planning that far ahead I think the market is going to change a lot to the point where it s not really worth worry about yet. | 2017-07-29 16:23:21 | 45 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 17,406 |

I m genuinely just trying to figure out what s going on here based off my observations and what I ve managed to find online.* **Configuration:** Model 3 SR+ (2019) - took delivery November 2019. 18 stock PS4 + Areowheel hubcaps FSD Region: Taiwan (we get the same cars you guys do not the Chinese-made ones :D) **Conditions:** Temperature range 24C - 32C (75F - 90F) **Charging Data:** So just today I actually sat down and collected some numbers (which are consistent what I ve been observing for the last 2-3 months):Gained 93% SoC resulting in +44kWh **Consumption Data:** As an example here s what I collected from my most recent trip: < Charged to 92% SoC on Thursday 21:00> < Monday morning 10:00 stats> 151.8km (94.88Mi) travelled30kWh used199Wh km (318Wh Mi)12% SoC remaining & #x200B Now before everyone reading this starts jumping on the 199Wh km usage please note that I live in a very traffic-congested part of Taiwan (think taking 30 minutes to traverse a distance of 7km or 4.4Mi) and it was raining heavily over those 4 days so the usage was indeed high. *I do not drive at high speeds on highways nor city areas and thank you in advance for holding back your accusations of reckless driving at high speeds.* This does not change the nature of my questions which I would like to present below: & #x200B 1. **Is my car software-locked to SR instead of SR+?** Using the charging data if 44 kWh equates to 93% SoC that means that my Model 3 SR+ only has approximately 47 kWh of capacity. This seems rather off from the reports of 54.5 kWh usable battery capacity that I ve read in multiple posts reports online for an SR+ and feels more in line with the 50 kWh (albeit software-locked) of the SR. Contacting Tesla Taiwan customer support indicated that the specifications for an SR+ in Taiwan may differ from those in other countries which I suppose could be an explanation (though not a very palatable one). That said are there any SR+ owners in different countries who ve noticed a gimped battery pack with lower usable battery capacity than 54.5 kWh? Is it like Tesla to simply lock their battery packs at whatever kWh they like for different regions for the same model of car? I ve only had my car for just over 6 months and clocked around 9 700 km (6 062Mi) so if we re going from 54.5 kWh -> 47 kWh battery degradation over 6 months that seems rather aggressive. 50 kWh -> 47 kWh seems more probable but then again I guess anything is possible at this point?Also worth noting is that my max stated range is 349km. We have other owners here reporting figures of up to 371km so it does feel like there is some discrepancy going on here. Searching online and finding threads saying SR+ Owners have noticed 220Mi max displayed range instead of the 240Mi max displayed range is also rather alarming. 2. **Where did the 7.6 kWh go over 4 days?** Using the consumption data above 80% SoC equated to 30kWh consumption. If we re going off the 47kWh battery capacity in the calculations performed in point 1. 80% capacity should be 37.6kWh that means we ve dropped 7.6 kWh over the time frame of just over 3 days. \- I don t have any third party apps connected. \- I don t have sentry mode on at home (which is where it spends most of its time these days with WFH and whatnot).- Didn t use heated seats heating aircon set to 22C and fan set to 4. \- I don t keep checking my car using the Tesla App. *Is this amount of drain in line with what other SR+ owners are seeing?* So yeah basically I am trying to figure out the answer to these 2 questions. I have been having an absolutely amazing time driving the car for the past 6 months and previously before the WFH kicked into effect I had daily access to charging at my workplace. With WFH in place and having to pick up charge at superchargers these days I just find it odd how I have to make a run every 4ish days after only having traveled \~150km (94Mi). Any helpful insight and hypotheses are most welcome! Looking to get an even better understanding of the car and how to get the most out of it :) Cheers o7 | 2020-05-25 06:39:12 | 12 | How are you collecting your data? Specifically how do you know you are adding +44 kWh to your battery? | 2020-05-25 13:07:47 | 6 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 25,058 |
In case your interested in model 3 dual motor AWD 0-100 specs | I meant Performance model. 0-60m **3.5s** 0-100km 3.8s BADASS. It s not official but come on guys it s Tesla it s not going to be worse. [source image](https: imgur.com a JCwIl) Research made by users from: [source](https: electrek.co 2017 10 17 tesla-model-3-performance-dual-motor-video-spotted-test-track ) based on [video spy capture from the test track](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=_jaCOWrCE7w) Who s waiting for dual motor configuration? | 2018-02-21 08:27:51 | 41 | Just to clarify the car in the video is the Performance version not the Model 3 LRD because it has the red brake calipers which come with the P versions only. There will be a non-performance long range AWD similar to Model S 100D vs Model S P100D. People usually mean the non-performance version when they say just AWD. The Model 3 comes in 5 versions: * Model 3 SR: $35 000 (Price confirmed) [aka Model 3 55] * Model 3 LR: $44 000 (Price confirmed) [aka Model 3 75] * Model 3 SRD: $39 500 (Price estimated) [aka Model 3 55D] * Model 3 LRD: $48 500 (Price estimated) [aka Model 3 75D] * Model 3 P: $74 500 (Price estimated) [aka Model 3 P75D] | 2018-02-21 09:51:24 | 30 | Tesla Model Comparison | 9,622 |
One thing driving me crazy about my Model 3 s maps | The option to change between whether my maps are facing in the direction of the car or always pointed north is nice but whenever I navigate somewhere and close out of my turn by turn directions my navigation will always default back to pointing north which is not my preference. Anyone figure out some kind of obscure setting that allows my to keep my navigation screen pointed in the car s direction permanently? Edit: whether not weather... | 2018-06-01 00:10:32 | 51 | Filed as a bug report in April. It is in the system - support says it should revert to last setting. | 2018-06-01 00:22:15 | 37 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,381 |

Model S battery Badge | When Did TESLA start Adding the Battery Badge Identifier to the Model S. I saw one the other day without it so I was wondering when the change was made to add the 60 85 or P85+ or D or what ever it might be in the lower right hand corner of the car s rear boot. | 2014-12-12 07:28:00 | 10 | They ve always done it.

Fremont Supercharger (at store) down | They are upgrading to the new maximum wattage units until they finish in a few days avoid this charger.

How much insurance do you pay on your Tesla? | I m looking into getting a Model S but the insurance is prohibitavely expensive. It s roughly the same monthly payment as on the car which puts it firmly into the unaffordable realm. I m a 23-year-old male which I suspect is working strongly against me in the insurance demographic which I see as highly unfair because I have a great job in software I own my own home I live in a low-risk area I have several years no claims etc. So all the other factors usually considered are in my favour but beause I m a young guy they re trying to charge me many thousands of £. And I d actually have thought that with all the safety feautres and ratings and AP stuff it d actually be less risky than other luxury cars. This is very frustrating for me. How much do you pay and what demographic are you in (as much as you re happy to say)? I m pretty sure being quoted for many thousands by comapny after company is not normal. | 2017-08-18 14:39:50 | 23 | Have you tried different providers? Try Direct Line been the best for me. But the fact that you are under 25 and trying to insure £60k worth of car it s just going to be expensive. | 2017-08-18 14:45:42 | 11 | Tesla insurance pricing comparison | 8,489 |
Free Ludicrous Mode Upgrade on New Purchase for Current S or X Owners | I recall seeing somewhere on here recently that current S or X owners can get the Ludicrous option for free if they purchase a new S or X which is a savings of $20 000 but I don t see that anywhere on my account details or in my offers on my Tesla account. Is this promotion still available and if so where can I see the actual offer? | 2019-06-04 17:31:23 | 28 | https: www.tesla.com blog longest-range-electric-vehicle-now-goes-even-farther No idea how to apply it though.

Superchargers at National Parks | Has anyone at Tesla lobbied worked with the National Park Service to get Superchargers at National Parks? Gas stations are in most parks and they are supposed to be about conservation so why aren t electric vehicle charging stations in every one? There are certain national parks I simply cannot visit right now because of the charging situation. Many others demand that you pay ~$170 a night (highway robbery) at nearby hotels to charge at destination chargers (imagine asking someone driving a gas car to pay that premium?). Most National Parks have visitor centers & electricity. How is it possible this hasn t been implemented at all anywhere? We should be able to access all our national parks with Teslas! endrant | 2021-05-03 23:16:46 | 198 | I second this thought. Although as much as I would to see Tesla SCs I think the better approach would be to make universal compatible chargers so other EVs can charge as well. In fact that s exactly what you see in Yosemite | 2021-05-03 23:20:34 | 147 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 18,021 |
Option to View Forward Facing Cameras | I always hear stories of rim rash and other similar instances wouldn t it be beneficial to have a parking mode or some sort of way to view the forward-facing diagonal cameras? I feel this would be very beneficial and allow us to see just how close we are to the curb. We ve already been given the update allowing us to view backwards left and right so I feel this would be easy enough to implement and have automatically come up when the sensors feel you are close to an object while in drive. | 2021-04-11 03:16:20 | 19 | To be clear the OP meant to say the forward-facing side repeater cameras and I agree. Would be a good help for those who parallel park. | 2021-04-11 06:54:35 | 9 | Issues with Sentry Mode | 14,458 |
Unanswered questions about the Model 3: Q & A Session | It seems that despite the final unveil on July 28th there are still are some pieces of information that haven t been released yet. We can speculate all day long but I wonder if there is some concrete information out there that hasn t officially been announced yet. Here are a few questions that to my knowledge have not officially been answered: * Details related to AWD and Performance models * Summon functionality or lack thereof (only reason I can think of them excluding is to differentiate Model S X from Model 3 at least until FSD). * Towing capability option ([promised](https: twitter.com elonmusk status 716708661024804866) by Elon) * Actual battery sizes (and are they software limited?) * Compatibility with Supercharging v3 * Roof rack compatibility (spotted [here](https: electrek.co 2017 05 24 tesla-model-3-testing-roof-rack ) but unclear if production models are compatible) * How much additional range do the aero wheels afford? Can you think of any additional questions or do you have answers sources that answer any of these questions? | 2017-07-31 23:43:45 | 14 | Power seats on the standard base model. They state 12 way power seat for the premium model. Likely that the base model seats are not manual (as most think) and they are just simpler power seats (front back incline front back). Similar to the way they describe the side mirrors. I mean they HAVE to have power mirrors right? My last car that didn t have power mirrors was a 78 VW Bus. | 2017-08-01 00:12:59 | 12 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 21,683 |
Awesome Service Story from Tesla | We got our new Tesla last Tuesday and hit the road Friday for a family road trip - about 750 miles North of here to where my family lives. Everything went smoothly and I charged on a dryer plug overnight at my grandpa s house built in 1949. Got 242 volts 24 Amps so we woke up full. Next day we went to my mom s a few hours away and I plugged in there but the car stopped charging overnight. I posted on the unofficial forum a few details just looking for advice on what the problem may be. I didn t bother calling Tesla service yet I m a diy guy. I was amazed shocked when a friendly rep from Tesla called my cell the next morning and they said they d seen in my car s logs a possible problem with the charger inside the car. He offered to bring me a loner and take the car! All of this without me contacting Tesla! I have no idea how they found me and this problem but was delighted. So we drove back home yesterday (750 miles) and they picked up the car this AM just brought it back cleaned and vacuumed. Which saved me a carwash after a long road trip. Needless to say my wife was pleased (and she d been a skeptic). The trip was about 2200 miles roundtrip and was simply amazing. Every minute was a joy. **tldr ** Tesla remotely found a problem came to my house and got dirty car returned it fixed charged and clean. All without me ever calling them. | 2014-08-08 20:09:36 | 71 | And that s why dealers are afraid | 2014-08-08 20:50:08 | 79 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 2,626 |
Blink Charger Network is AWFUL! | I m on a trip and it s been my first experience with the Blink EV charging network. It is AWFUL! The stations are in terrible shape half are broken.

VIN Assigned was not what was ordered | I had ordered a Performance Model 3 without the performance upgrade package (P3D-). I was scheduled to take delivery last Wednesday. I arrived and the car looked great! Just before driving off I wanted to check that it was a performance 3. I did this by clicking on the T logo on the screen to look for the red line under dual motor. It wasn t there. I then looked for the window sticker only to find out that it was NOT a performance 3 but a standard AWD Model 3 (with a price of $55k). There s a $9k difference between these 2 cars and they were going to let me drive off the lot with it. I pointed it out to the delivery team and they then debated among themselves whether it was a performance or not. They came back and told me it wasn t and they d have to find me a new car. Fast forward a few days and after being assigned a different VIN. They proposed giving me the original car and that it was just a software change and that VIN number 2 is no longer an option. I declined and requested a new VIN (number 3). Does anyone know the real answer of whether or not there are hardware differences between AWD and P3D-? Or if there are any between P3D- and P3D+? I ve been trying to look for tear down articles comparing the 3 versions (RWD AWD and P) but couldn t find any. The best evidence I could find were the different power output ratings on [fueleconomy.gov](https: fueleconomy.gov). & #x200B TL:DR - make sure your car matches your order when picking up! | 2018-10-01 23:59:09 | 17 | I thought I had the same issue.

My delivery date is on the 30th but the service center said I d most likely be able to pick it up on Monday. However after doing a lot of research I want to switch to performance. Its just way too fun to pass up. What will the implications be? Will I have to create a new order and put down the $2 500 deposit again whilst waiting 45 days for a refund?

Tesla 8GB eMMC Recall is finally OFFICIAL! | GOOD NEWS! Tesla advised their service centers this morning that they have upgraded the previous warranty adjustment for the failed eMMC (Announced 11 9 2020: https: www.tesla.com support warranty-adjustment-program) to become an actual Recall for eligible vehicles. This is excellent news and long awaited for anyone who has had the symptoms of a failing eMMC (main screen going black or rebooting laggy interface etc) but was rejected for the eMMC daughterboard replacement because it hasn t completely failed yet . I expect a public announcement will be coming within the next few days with more details on the recall. It may be several weeks or months for the parts to become available and start scheduling for replacement but they finally did the right thing. - UPDATE: The recall notice was emailed on 2 2 2021 to eligible vehicles. Full announcement from the email in the [comments below](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments labox6 tesla_8gb_emmc_recall_is_finally_official glq5ee9 ).

This is no more Tesla doing the right thing than someone losing a lawsuit and actually paying agreed-upon restitution.

My Recent Service Center Experience | To start with my situation I have a CPO 2013 Model S purchased in June 2017 with the 4yr 50k mile warranty and it has just over 70k miles on it now. I never had any issues at all until recently but recently some bubbles were forming in the touch screen my car was occasionally making an extremely loud banging noise and I still hadn t taken it in to get some safety recalls taken care of. I live in the greater Pittsburgh area so I made an appointment at the Wexford SC for 11am yesterday. I arrived a little early but everyone there was ready for me. I dropped off my car did a quick walk around with them to document everything to protect me in case they damaged something gave me the keys to my loaner and I was on my way. They said they d text me with any updates to keep me posted with what s going on. Everything was going really well but since I had read some horror stories about SC experiences I was cautiously optimistic. Well around 4pm I was told that my car was ready to go! I went to the SC they gave me some paperwork detailing what they worked on handed me my key fob and I was on my way. They even cleaned it inside and out and everything! I couldn t believe how fast and friendly the service was just wanted to give a shoutout to everyone I dealt with at the Wexford Pittsburgh SC! TL DR: My Model S was in and out of service in five hours after having two safety recalls performed and a touch screen replacement as well as fixing a loud banging noise. The Wexford SC is awesome! | 2019-01-24 15:47:55 | 78 | Why is getting your car serviced without issues awesome ?

As anyone recently gotten the Model S rear jump seats retrofitted? | I got my 85D almost two years ago... My biggest regret was not getting the rear jump seats ordered with it. There s been instances in the last two years where I definitely could ve used them. My kids are the perfect age for them (8 and 6 years old). I m going to be taking my 85D for the annual service soon and I will be asking for them to retrofit the jump seats (if possible). Has anyone gotten it done recently? Was it still around 3500-4000 dollars? I figure it s much cheaper to retrofit than get a Model X lol | 2017-01-15 14:06:35 | 10 | Are they retrofitting the rear seats now?

Using self-parking technology at charging stations | I think Tesla should use the self parking ability introduced with autopilot to make charging stations better. If cars with autopilot could unplug themselves and drive to another place so another car could charge it would help with some of the bottlenecking at superchargers particularly those in busier areas. Here s the barriers to making that happen as I see it: - It s one thing getting a car to park itself but it s another getting a car to unplug the charger and put it back on the holder - Superchargers probably weren t built with this functionality in mind - Some superchargers might not have extra parking spots for the Teslas to park once they ve been supercharged. - Only the newest Model S s have autopilot capabilities. That being said Elon had mentioned something about wanting to make it possible for owners to park their car at the front door get out and have the car drive itself into the garage and plug itself in. And that would present similar problems. So clearly they re working on similar problems when making the car do that. | 2014-11-24 07:42:56 | 5 | Just having the car align it s parking with the plug would be nice. | 2014-11-24 08:17:04 | 4 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 21,963 |

Are Australian Superchargers being retrofitted with CCS? | With Elon s announcement that we Aussies will be getting our Model 3s in winter (June-August) has anyone seen any sign that they are fitting dual charging cables with CCS 2 at the handful of Superchargers that currently exist?

Slacker radio ambiguity with thumbs up down | I ve been unable to determine if the thumbs down button for a song only applies to the station or the account.

Question about Supercharging | How do I know if my used 2012 Tesla Model S has free unlimited supercharging or at least a thousand miles a year?

Any chance of Roadster CPO s? | Not that I have the means to buy one but are the roadsters part of the CPO program? I doubt many would want to relinquish that bad boy but it would be fun to track resell prices. | 2015-07-02 22:43:12 | 9 | They used to sell CPO Roadsters but it looks like they re sold out.

Scheduled for Model 3 Pickup tomorrow got a call today... they re holding fixing all white cars to repaint the rear bumper before delivery. | Disappointed but also happy I didn t get there and have to deal with rejecting the car on the spot (and finding a ride home). Rep said 3-5 days to repaint the bumper. He said they re holding all white Model 3s due to this issue. I m glad they re recognizing it and dealing with it this way. Anyone else get this call? Is 3-5 days realistic? Edit: picked up the car today... everything looks great! [Pics!](https: imgur.com gallery nkkH0p0) | 2018-05-15 23:56:58 | 170 | Wow how the heck did that even leave the factory. I am glad they are fixing them before delivery but that should never make it to the shipping yard. | 2018-05-16 00:03:23 | 33 | Tesla Service Experience Feedback | 16,823 |
Model 3 SR range test | This is the SR model with rated 220 mile range & #x200B Bought car in march 1000 on odometer charged to 100% switched to chill mode drove mostly 55-72 mph. 100% 212mi at start of trip. 36% 75mi range left at end of trip 136.7 mi and 27kWh at 199 Wh mi. I stopped once to pee and a second time to pick up groceries for 20 mins. AC was set to 77 central FL driving so hot and flat. 4-7pm time frame. Battery Regen braking worked right away with SR which is cool. 136.7 mi 64% of battery used = 2.135 mi for each percent of battery. 2.135 x 100 = 213.5 miles (my predicted range) My plan was to drive to 5% but I was happy enough with the numbers I was seeing. I am surprised that at 199 Wh mi I am not seeing a higher range but overall ok with the outcome. I have been averaging 235 Wh mi before this test. https: preview.redd.it 2090ufngfxb51.jpg?width=1630& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=1277ff568cfe93d69105701e38c17bd4520e36a9 https: preview.redd.it 64ajonngfxb51.jpg?width=947& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=c4ccb2a1c3fdbe92e8f2e1598fbd6a569aa2ed53 | 2020-07-20 02:50:20 | 15 | 199Wh mi? Jesus. I tap the accelerator for half a second and my P3D is already at 500Wh mi. Lifetime 288Wh mi over 12k miles.

buying one of the show room model 3s? | My vehicle hasn t arrived at my near by Tesla branch yet. There is a possibility of a lock down coming which would prevent me from getting my vehicle. Tesla called me today and stated they have the exact same build as a show room car in stock with 16 miles on it which was just the drive to the showroom. They said they d knock about $1 500 off on it. I m apprehensive but I think the ODO on the one I ordered is only 10 miles. Only difference is this thing has had a bunch of people in and playing with it. Anyone have any experience buying the showroom model? | 2020-03-23 17:33:08 | 9 | Kinda - back in Sept 2018 I grabbed a (driving) demo Model 3 with 1008 miles on it because it came with $1200 off and I didn t want to wait a month for mine to get built and shipped to Florida. There were concerns back then about the early models build quality but I assumed that Tesla wouldn t want to demo a wonky car and that car would be fine. The car was perfect and I ve had no issues with it. Back then most discounts for demo cars came in at roughly $1 off per mile driven - if you re getting $1500 off for just having a few people sitting it that s an amazing deal and I think you should take it. | 2020-03-23 18:43:31 | 29 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 25,332 |
Working for Tesla | I am moving to the Minneapolis area and looking at jobs. I see that Tesla is hiring a Delivery Experience Specialist. I had some questions about the position. If anyone has experience or could answer some of the questions it would be much appreciated. Background: I currently work sales for a Cell Company making around $55-60 000 a year which includes commission. 1. What kind of hours? Nights weekends 2. Pay for this position? 3. Ability to move up in the company? 4. Good company to work for? | 2016-05-12 21:33:00 | 7 | > Ability to move up in the company?

Soooo I just test drove the Model 3 in the UK... | Damn what a cool car it is. It was just the Standard Range Plus but it seemed very nice. It feels really plush and quiet around town. The instant response is SO NICE compared to my current Audi A4 DSG (as good as the gearbox is once moving it is notoriously slow to respond from the initial pull off). You can just pull out into the smallest gaps with ease and safely. It handles well the big screen is cool and I was really impressed with even the standard autopilot system which going into it I wasn t bothered about at all but the way the car slowed and sped up for vehicles and even cyclists in front made it a pleasure to use. Oh man I want one so bad I might have to go for it. I will say though it hasn t ruined other cars for me like some people seem to say. My Audi still felt like a nice car when I got back in it :) But I still want the Model 3 over it...a lot. Sorry this was kind of a positive rant post I just needed to get it off my chest as my mind is racing at the moment with the idea of having one! :) | 2019-08-17 17:07:44 | 105 | Try the AWD for P3D and then see if it ruins the other cars. May not but Sr+ vs AWD is night and day and P3D is 2 days away. | 2019-08-17 17:11:44 | 44 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 17,608 |
Is Full Self-Driving Honestly Worth It? | I know it s likely not an original question but is FSD worth paying $6000 more for a Model 3 (or just about the same added cost for the other models)? For an average financing scenario a non-FSD M3 SR+ is about $500-$600 per month but FSD adds about an extra $100 a month. If I lived an extremely financially flexible life I d definitely get FSD but if cost is a modest issue (enough to not try and get a Model S for instance) is FSD honestly worth it? | 2019-07-24 01:21:51 | 15 | As someone who went into it with the thought that I must have FSD it was and will be for the foreseeable future be a total waste of money. The only benefit that I use right now is auto lane change and even that is more trouble than it s worth as it makes terrible decisions and cuts off cars that are coming at you 25 mph faster than you. As far as the promise of city street driving coming in the next year I think anyone who actually has FSD knows that is a laughable idea. The way it handles things like cars in front of you moving into turn lanes that have a small gap before the line starts is just insane. And it treats oncoming cars that turn in front of you like 1000ft away like imminent collisions and brakes wildly. I ve had to press the accelerator many times just to not get rear ended. I wouldn t be surprised if FSD never becomes feature complete with the current hardware. EDIT: As a side note regular AP (TACC and autosteer) is totally worth it. If I could do it again I would just get this and skip FSD. I am fine with changing lanes myself due to the issues mentioned above. AP is included on all models except the basic SR. | 2019-07-24 02:22:40 | 54 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 9,864 |

Is my Mobile Connector going bad? | I ve been using the corded Mobile Connector (travel charger) that came with my Model Y to charge at home for the last 17+ months. I had no problems plugging it in to a 110V outlet in my garage and charging at 12A. About a month ago it started tripping the gfci about 20 seconds after plugging in to the MY. I set the MY to charge at 10A and that worked fine until this week. Now it is tripping the gfci again. Is there any way to test the Mobile Connector to see if it has a problem? | 2021-12-11 20:20:57 | 7 | I would be inclined to suspect your outlet. Try a different one to see if the Mobile Connector works there. I ve had those outlets wear out and trip for no reason. Replaced the outlet and problem solved. | 2021-12-12 03:54:26 | 21 | Tesla charging port locking | 10,030 |
How I accidentally kept the Tesla in the shop for an extra day | TL DR trust the service techs I had to get some work done on the battery and for safety reasons the techs had to completely drain it. I didn t know this so when I checked the app out of curiosity that night and saw that the climate control was set to HI I immediately shut it off thinking it was a mistake. Nope that s how they drain the battery over night! Good news is that she s home safe now. | 2014-10-28 16:42:40 | 38 | It s too bad the vehicle doesn t have the ability to do vehicle to grid or provide power via 110v or 220v power outlets. Then that juice could do something useful like charge up another vehicle. Wasting energy as heat seems so 20th century. | 2014-10-28 17:31:44 | 23 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 8,022 |
Model 3: Rear view camera takes up to 20 seconds to come on when I put the car in reverse. | Sometimes it takes a long time for the rear view camera to come on when I put my car in reverse. It will stay black for a while and I have to wait a random length of time before I can see. In some cases it takes up to 20 seconds to come on. Is this a software or hardware issue and has anyone else had this problem? I tried resetting the car (pressing both knobs down) but it didn t fix the issue after it reset. | 2019-04-13 21:50:16 | 86 | Welcome to firmware 2019.x.x try also the two knobs and the brake pedal... hold them all down for 5-10 seconds. This reboot will take a bit longer than normal. | 2019-04-13 21:51:16 | 31 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 12,483 |
Model 3 SR+ Road Trip Miserable | Frustrated a bit. DFW to San Antonio is 3 charges. Wife will never go for this again. The estimated range vs actual range is laughable. I have 114 miles to go and the car wants me to have 80% battery to get home. We ve also run into some really slow chargers along the way (Austin supercharger was 16kw) so that compounded things. Should have done the larger battery... | 2020-07-26 03:41:44 | 16 | > The estimated range vs actual range is laughable. If you mean the EPA range you re never going to match that if you are doing 75 MPH on the highway. The EPA test cycle is mostly lower speeds. My rule of thumb with any electric car is that 60 MPH on the highway should get me close to EPA and 75 MPH gets me about two thirds of that because *laws of aerodynamics.* On the other hand the energy graph where it estimates range based on your last X number of miles driven (I think 30 miles is the default) is usually quite accurate. I ve heard from several Tesla owners who set their main battery gauge to show percentage instead of miles and if they want a miles estimate they call up the energy graph. I have a suspicion (verging on superstition) that some slow Supercharger experiences can be blamed on hot weather. I think the stations tend to throttle back on Texas summer days. Whenever V3 chargers come in it should help not only with higher power capacity but also the liquid cooling. The other thing that I kind of hate to say but maybe somebody needs to is that the “SR” does stand for something and it may not the most ideal for somebody who makes a lot of 275-mile day trips. | 2020-07-26 04:21:40 | 96 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 11,955 |
Bad supercharger directions on the New Jersey Turnpike | Tesla supercharger directions on the NJTP need serious help. Tried to take me off the highway outside the toll area and to the delivery gate of two rest stops this afternoon when the superchargers were both in the rest stops themselves. Burnt up a few miles and a decent amount of tooth enamel in the process. | 2021-02-01 02:07:31 | 21 | Where did you have that problem? I haven t run into it yet and have used a bunch of superchargers along the turnpike but would like to avoid it in the future | 2021-02-01 04:14:11 | 6 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 2,669 |
Just (test) drove my first Tesla Model S and it was a P100D | I m out on Vacation from Michigan and I just wanted to give a shout out to the fantastic people who run the Santa Monica CA store. Thanks for answering all of my questions and for a wonderful test drive. I look forward to reserving my own and to hopefully the first Tesla store in Michigan. In the meantime anyone from Michigan wanna be my friend? | 2017-03-08 23:34:10 | 18 | Welcome to Los Angeles! While you are out here I suggest the following places to eat: 1) Katsu-Ya sushi. There are several locations but I like Encino the best. The have the most amazing lunch deal for $12 (its like $40 worth of fresh sushi). The special starts at 12 but only the first 15 people get it - so you need to line up at 11:30am. Its worth it though. 2) Versailles Cuban food on Venice Blvd. Get the combination platter. Buy some extra Mojo sauce to take home. Smell like garlic for an entire day but its worth it. 3) C& O Trattoria or Cucina. There are 2 locations both close to each other on Washington Blvd in Venice (one right near water). Never ending garlic knots cant be beat and everything there is good. 4) Duke s Hawaiian. Best location is the one in Malibu but Huntington Beach one is pretty good too. Cant beat the MaiTais. 5) Nickel Diner on Main st. in downtown. Little hole in the wall place in a somewhat questionable area but worth it. Great breakfast and lunch. 6) Grand Central Market in downtown LA. Lots of amazing food and various choices. If you are down by Santa Ana there is a similar 4th Street Market that is also great. 7) Roscoe s Chicken & Waffles: a staple here in Los Angeles. Many locations. Obviously... get the chicken and waffles. 8) In-N-Out. The classic California burger. Get the burger and fries Animal Style . *drools* 9) Obviously the mexican food here is amazing. I have a rule: if I call the place and they answer in english I don t go there. That s all you need to know. Find some authentic mexican food. Don t worry about getting food from food trucks - they are all good and I ve never had a bad experience food poisoning. You can look up their reviews online. One of my favorites is called Sol Agave - but that is more down in the Orange County area. 10) Speaking of Orange County if you happen to head down south farther near San Juan Capistrano Dana Point San Diego I have a whole other list of food and stuff for you to check out. There are a billion places to eat (I could list like 50+ more) and lots to do. Hit me up if you have any questions or are looking for something in a particular area. | 2017-03-08 23:51:59 | 28 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 10,366 |

What are the pros and cons of moving on from MobileEye? | I ve heard the vague description that Tesla will be able to move faster on their own as ME was developing products for all vehicles but I don t quite know what that means. Would love some examples of how this would play out what about other vehicles would cause delays? ME just produces the sensing hardware right? Wouldn t all cars have the same basic requirements? Is it really minor things that need to be done to accommodate other manufacturers but because there are a bunch of them and Tesla wants to move really quickly that minor headwind is just unacceptable? Just looking for some clarity on how the decision was made. Any thoughts on why the inhouse development will be a positive would be great too (again beyond the simple answer of just being more focused ). | 2016-07-27 20:56:19 | 18 | ME handles the hardware and some of the software layer (as they built the silicon that processes data). The problem with ME is that they also want to work with many different manufacturers - and so they essentially build a vanilla system that is cross platform. For Tesla - this can cause issues because Tesla has designs past what ME can essentially do - and Tesla has been gathering TONS of driving data. They don t want to give this data to ME because Me would then use it to the benefit of all the other manufacturers. Up to this point Tesla has been laying a software layer between ME and their own system to enhance capabilities. For Tesla to take it in house they can have complete end to end control of the design and timeline of the hardware and software. They can better integrate it and set the upgrade path. They can also integrate their machine learning data back in directly. I m tempted to use the Microsoft Windows vs Apple OSX argument here - where Windows works on many things but not always so well vs OSX is designed by Apple for Apple hardware designs - and thus runs more efficiently and more stable. I realize it s not the perfect analogy but it s the basic idea. | 2016-07-27 21:00:20 | 14 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,518 |

I want my next car to have as low maintenance as possible and am heavily considering a Model 3 because of it. How have early adopter Model 3 owners experience been? | Specifically looking for high mileage Model 3 owners! I drive up to 25k miles a year. Hello I currently have a 2017 Audi A4 Quattro I love the car but obviously as it gets older it will have more issues. I ve had to replace two door woofers a water pump and of course dreaded regular preventative maintenance. So far if I hadn t had a warranty I d be sitting around $5k in repair maintenance costs in the last 7 months. For High Mileage early adopter Model 3 owners. I d love to hear your experience. How many warranty repairs have been needed? How much would it have been out of warranty? How reliable has your car been? Any battery or motor replacements needed yet? When I do get one I want white interior no matter what with a Model 3 if I don t get an older S. So I know I ll be getting one with considerable improvements in original design. That s why I m asking for early adopters experience I basically want to hear the worst of the worst. I also wouldn t mind hearing if you ve had absolutely zero issues at all as well! For all of you nerds out there (like me) who keep track of all your maintenance costs and charging costs. How much have you spent in operating and maintaining the car? I d love to know as well. Thanks everyone! Looking forward to replies. | 2019-08-14 00:36:09 | 90 | 15K miles since January here and zero maintenance thus far. | 2019-08-14 00:38:29 | 61 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 9,284 |

Discussion - Model 3 - no drill Front Licence plates brackets | I am scheduled to pick up my Model 3 later this week which got me thinking and exploring some of the options around front licence plates - how they are stuck or mounted etc. Based on my search (mostly online and on this forum) below are the few choices that are available. These are mounted without drilling holes. I was wondering between them which one is better over the other. A few key considerations this doesn t block any sensors and the likes and importantly also the airflow to the battery underneath (seems that is a critical for the health and longevity of the battery).

To Lease or To Buy: That is the Question... | Hey guys I m pretty much set my sights on purchasing a Tesla in the next few years. I m curious to know what your thoughts are on leasing vs purchasing especially for those that aren t well-off and have to be concerned with a mortgage bills etc. A little about me: I drive around 15-20 miles a day during the week usually not much on the weekend. I don t go on long road trips. My parents live about 55-60 miles away so not very far. My initial thought is since I don t drive very far leasing might be a better option. Plus with Tesla ramping up production of the Model 3 and hopefully new models down the road it would be nice to continue upgrading after three years. So what else went into your decision when deciding whether to lease vs. purchase? And what was your ultimate decision? | 2017-02-18 15:35:23 | 16 | Buying is always cheaper than leasing in the long run. However if you re a few years out don t worry about that stuff yet. You and Tesla will be very different then. | 2017-02-18 15:45:39 | 20 | Tesla Lease Experience Considerations | 21,252 |

PSA: Anyone can get into your frunk with out any tools. | So just got back from a 10 day biz trip and forgot to plug her in before I left so when I got back car was completely dead. Called Tesla roadside and told them the situation and were going to send out someone to jump the 12v battery in the frunk so I could open the charger port but I just asked for the instructions to do it myself and they sent them over.

Kind of an emergency....anyone in punta Gorda port Charlotte FL have a charger I can borrow?? | Edit: I just found one at a Nissan dealership. Thank God. Had to make a road trip here for work. There are no Tesla superchargers but a buncha EV stations so I wasn t too stressed about it. Got to the hotel with about 23% left. Checked in then proceeded to look for a charger. I ve been to five stations four of them didn t fit the adapter that came with my model 3 and the only one that did was out of order. I made the call to say fuck it and started going back to the hotel. I should be at three percent when I get there : Guess I should have done more homework....

Buying advice: Model S (questions: new vs. used and new incentives?) | Hi All! I am considering buying a Model S and could use some advice. In terms of what specs I m considering: midnight silver tan 75 Premium interior Premium package (which now includes heated steering wheel) pano roof (not sunroof) and full autopilot package. Pricing ~ $86k from the website before incentives. I found a private sale 2016 (new facia) midnight sivler tan 70kw with 21 s premium interior (no heated steering wheel) matte woot interior autopilot 1 pano and only 7800 miles - for under $70. Owner says i can update to 75kw for $500. What are your thoughts on this - good deal? I ve heard there are some really good incentives active now toward buying an S. Going to the dealership tomorrow - but would love some advice. Used model sheet: https: imgur.com gallery cssek Thanks! | 2017-07-22 15:01:20 | 18 | 1. You won t get a tax credit on a used car 2.

Are rear-facing seats heavy? | Wondering if someone gets the rear-facing seats in the Model S about how much range does that reduce the car? Are the added seats and structural support a lot of extra weight? | 2017-10-23 22:07:03 | 6 | I don t know the exact weight but I ve folded them up down several times on loaner cars to check them out. I can t see them adding more than like 100-200lbs even with the extra structural support. I think the change in range is negligible. Similar to having a passenger in your car. | 2017-10-23 22:18:25 | 4 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 2,184 |
Pandemic Positives for EV Home Charging | One of the less often mentioned (but now obvious) advantages of having a home charger for your EV is that you don t have to go to a filthy Gas Station and touch contaminated pump handles press unsanitized buttons or keypads or go inside and stand closer than 3 feet to interact with an attendant or customers crammed into a very small space that do not understand social distancing or how to properly block a sneeze. Having your own Home Charger not only means your car is ready in the morning but that you can control how clean your BEV service equipment is-- and who touches it. Just one less worry in this chaotic world for you and your family. Thank you Tesla. | 2020-04-02 03:08:22 | 88 | With shelter in place I don t think many people are driving.

Elon confirms the Cybertruck does not meet EU spec | Thought I d post this hear as I didn t read about this being confirmed anywhere and because it might affect those of you in the EU with a Cybertruck reservation.

Summon not vertical opening garage door | Hey I wonder if its possible to summon a Tesla with a garage door that swings open instead of open vertically? In the videos it looks like the car goes forward until its a view cm inches away and than opens the door but that would not work with a swing door because it would smash the front of the Tesla. | 2016-01-12 15:43:56 | 10 | If the door swings out it can be summoned from the garage but not told to park in the garage itself. However it can be set so that it won t automatically open the garage. You could manually open your garage door then have it pull in. There is no settings as currently implemented to handle your situation while automatically opening closing the garage. | 2016-01-12 16:02:49 | 4 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 17,933 |

Cons of buying a Tesla EV? | I m new to cars in general and got really interested in Tesla s cars after reading a post about the upcoming Model 3 on the Futurology sub reddit. Everything sounds great so far! Electricity is much cheaper than gasoline you don t need to maintain an electric car like you do with a petrol car you get autopilot you get incentives (Ontario offers $14k CAD even for the upcoming Model 3!) and especially the facelift design. I really do love the removal of the front grille. But there has to be cons right? I know batteries degrade over time but I m pretty sure I can get away with not replacing the battery if I m only losing out on range. I don t go on long trips anyway. I also heard that the batteries cost a LOT to replace too. Like 30-40k to replace a Model S battery? (don t remember which battery size) I also heard that Tesla uses aluminum which costs more than steel but I also read a comment today about how tesla will probably not use Aluminum in the Model 3 to cut costs. So other than these two which so far seem to not be a problem to me are there any other cons of buying a Tesla vs a petrol car? | 2017-03-27 07:33:56 | 26 | > I know batteries degrade over time but I m pretty sure I can get away with not replacing the battery if I m only losing out on range. Early owners with high mileages are reporting that battery capacity degradation doesn t seem to be an issue. IIRC Tesla had a battery in the lab with 500 000 simulated miles which still retained 80% of its original capacity. Tesla batteries lose about 5% of its capacity over 50 000 miles [and then the curve stabilizes and the degradation stabilizes significantly with about 1% degradation per 30 000 miles thereafter](https: steinbuch.wordpress.com 2015 01 24 tesla-model-s-battery-degradation-data ) Battery costs are also falling pretty quickly which makes replacing one much cheaper in the future. > I also heard that Tesla uses aluminum which costs more than steel but I also read a comment today about how tesla will probably not use Aluminum in the Model 3 to cut costs. Model 3 will be mostly steel with some parts using aluminium to strategically save weight in certain areas. We don t know specifics of which components are steel and aluminium just yet. Honestly the cons are really the unknowns. Whether Tesla can scale Service Centers and Superchargers to meet demand if Model 3 will be released on time etc. And also road trips require a little forethought and planning although the nav system does a pretty good job of calculating routes and charging stops. And long distance trips may take a little longer due to stops but personally I m not really in a rush to get places on long road trips so that s fine by me. I just stop to supercharge every 3 hours or so and take a 30 minute break (getting food coffee bathroom etc) and I m back on the road. | 2017-03-27 07:53:37 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 4,073 |
Explaining how the rewrite works vs how autopilot currently works based on Elon and Karpathy statements. | Based on a comment from another [thread](https: www.reddit.com r TeslaLounge comments jejill what_will_the_rewrite_be_able_to_do_when_the ): & #x200B I think the current pre-rewrite version was pretty naïve in the way it was implemented (hindsight is 2020). The way Elon has explained it imagine if you were driving but had some crazy combination of narcolepsy and short term memory loss. Every half-second you fall asleep and wake up to a completely new world. You can see everything around you and recognize road markings cars traffic signals and signs just like normal but you can t remember anything from the previous time you were awake. You take some small action that you decide on based only on what you can currently see then fall asleep again. Repeat forever while trying to drive. Imagine seeing a stop sign starting to slow down then the next time you wake up it s slightly occluded by glare or a bush so you stop slowing down. Next time you wake up you can see it again start slowing down again. Starts to sound like some experiences I ve had with autopilot... The new version incorporates memory and time into the above example. Each time you fall asleep you can quickly write down everything you saw last time with reasonable accuracy and compare that to the new information you re seeing (yes I realize writing things down this quickly by hand is unreasonable). Not only can you calculate a relative velocity for things you recognized both times but if you saw something last time that you don t see not you can try to use that information to correct things. Maybe you look here you last saw a stop sign and now you see a bush that has something vaguely octagonal that you can t see clearly in it. It s probably the stop sign. keep slowing down. Write yourself a note to check again next time. This doesn t require much more on the hardware side other than the ability to store information about the last few runs some (decreasing with staleness) confidence level about them and the ability to run a classifier on a suspected object from an old frame and accept it with a lower confidence output from the Neural Net. & #x200B This is just my rough understanding based on several Elon tweets and interviews a few Karpathy talks I ve seen and my own knowledge of computer science and machine vision (I only have a BS in computer science but I took some machine learning and machine vision classes in college). Let me know if you think I m completely off base or if you think I m missing something to improve the analogy | 2020-10-20 07:11:32 | 186 | I thought the main difference was that in the new version all the camera images get stitched into a 360 panorama before being fed to the AI whereas the AI gets separate inputs currently and so has problems when an object moves between camera views. This is made worse because the AI s training for each camera has been done separately - imagine being trained how to read the left side camera by a different teacher than the one that taught you how to see out of the front. This would give the ai a sort of split personality syndrome. | 2020-10-20 07:44:17 | 57 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 6,162 |
FSD Robo Taxi Question | The Model 3 and the Model Y have interior cabin cameras for FSD Robo Taxis but the Model S and X do not.

Would like to know other people s thoughts about this | 2020-05-30 18:23:04 | 11 | S X do not have their interiors designed for FSD like 3 Y.

In 2009 Tesla sold less than 1000 cars. A decade later it sold over 650000 cars. Where do you think they will be in 2029? | The major difference is that many big automakers are now waking up to the threat at least VW and a few others. Another big difference is that several Chinese car companies are now much more dominant in EV market share than was the case in 2009. So it won t just be the old Western & Japanese Korean legacy automakers anymore. | 2020-01-10 05:13:08 | 447 | If this rate of growth can be sustained they should be able to have sold around 422 500 000 cars by 2029. | 2020-01-10 05:54:42 | 231 | Future of Electric Cars | 9,598 |

NEMA 6-20 actual winter charging rates | Hi all For various reasons I cannot upgrade my electrical panel further for higher-amperage installs like a NEMA 14-30 or 14-50. However I do have enough available amperage to allow me to install a NEMA 6-20 outlet. I can also get $500 back from my state towards this installation which is quoted at just under $500 with my preferred electrician. Contrarily it would cost me over $2500 to upgrade the panel from 100 amperes to 200 amperes and also run the 240V 14-50 circuit. I don t drive much - 20 miles round trip in a pretty even 50 50 spilt between 55 mph highway and urban city environments. One of my hurdles to purchasing an EV is the winter charging. One or two nights a week I will be responsible for driving in-town to sports practices. Not significant mileage - less than 5 - but it would disrupt the opportunity for me to charge during that period of \~2 hours. Ideally I would have availability to charge after say 4 PM and keep it plugged in until around 5 AM when I leave for work. I d plan to precondition the cabin slightly even if the house power couldn t provide 100% of the electrical need. If cold I d plan on using the set supercharger to destination trick for a few minutes to help it warm up. I ve seen a few YouTube videos of people charging at or close to 32F and still managing to get some range into their batteries. But in the grand scheme I m looking at having this 6-20 line run for efficiency and a little buffer. Has anyone a link or first-hand experience charging in a driveway or non-covered garage type of environment using 6-20 via the Mobile Connector at freezing and below freezing temperatures? What s your average net gain in percentage at the end of the charge? For example if I charge after work at 50% SOC and in the morning after 8 hours of charging I come back to 70% SOC that would be 20% gain over 8 hours or 2.5% per hour. I d also be curious to see it expressed in actual energy (kW added to the pack) since we all know the range estimate is not the most accurate due to climate controls and preconditioning. I d also like to see the test results at other temperatures such as 20F 10F and 0F. We typically don t get any colder than 0F. TLDR - Pretty sure I would be okay with charging at 120V 15A looking at Youtube videos of people in cold areas and still putting on an average of 3 miles of range per hour even after temporarily stopping range to heat the pack and continue but looking for tangible 6-20 data which I can t seem to find at low temperatures. Not concerned for summer charging but would like to know about the buffer in winter especially because my state would essentially reimburse me for the install. Thanks! | 2020-01-21 19:59:10 | 18 | I can t offer first-hand data but I want to add a grain of salt to the very negative responses you ve gotten so far (which also have no data). I suspect people are overlooking the \*\*6-20\*\* (240V x 16A = 3.84kW) and thinking you mean 5-20 (120V x 16A = 1.92kW) or even 5-15 (120V x 12A = 1.44kW). Given that 240V is more efficient I d expect you ll find the 6-20 to be more than 3x faster than a standard wall outlet. To put it in context not accounting for battery heating you d be able to go 0-100% in around 21 hours. If you re not running the battery below 50% you d be back to 90% in 8 hours i.e. overnight. Yes you ll lose some of that to battery heating and more current being available would be ideal but I strongly suspect that a 6-20 would be just fine for such light usage. Moreso since you re planning to normally have it plugged in for 11 hours not just 8. Battery heating is unlikely to consume enough to keep you from being able to mostly recharge every night and certainly not to keep you from recovering any decline over the weekend. | 2020-01-21 20:23:17 | 29 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 13,553 |
Standard Range Model 3 off-menu availability and pricing | As you may know standard range was taken off the website a couple months ago. I was really disappointed to hear that I had my eye on that option since it was announced and already started to move my finances around to prepare to buy it later this year. I m a little concerned that it may not be available even off-menu by the time I m ready to buy come September or October. 1. Has anyone successfully purchased a standard range in the last month or so? 2. Does anyone remember what the full cost was for standard range + black paint + black interior + cheap rims + full self driving? | 2019-07-15 06:16:57 | 8 | As soon as you bundle in FSD you re also required to purchase basic Autopilot since that isn t included in the price of the ~$35k SR. Basic autopilot [is $3k](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads model-3-sr-with-autopilot-35k-2k-or-35k-3k.149122 #fc-post-3567796) for the SR. At that point the price difference between the SR and SR+ is $2000. $38k + $6k is $44k for the SR w FSD... + $1200 destination and doc fee. Call it $45k. The SR+ w FSD works out to $47k after destination and doc fee. If you don t care about the features* you lose on the SR sure it s an easy $2000 to save! But if the SR goes away and you can t afford that $2000 difference on a ~$45k car then you probably shouldn t be buying a $45k car. The prices of all Model 3s could randomly increase by that much before you re ready to buy for all we know or drop by that much. So... I wouldn t worry about it. Either it s an option when you go to buy or it isn t. Neither of us can change that but its absence also shouldn t be a dealbreaker in my opinion. *What features are missing? There have been thousands of words spent on that discussion and there s very little clarity. Lots of conflicting information. Don t ask me. | 2019-07-15 07:19:04 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 17,725 |

My Non-P Model 3 Experience Roadtrip | Hey all! First-time poster here. Browse comment a lot but have never posted due to my lack of a Tesla. Well today that is not the case. Pictures of Maeve: https: imgur.com a EvkicPs Background: I picked up my White Non-P 3 on Monday 8 20 from Rocklin CA. Delivery went smoothly no major issues with the vehicle. There are minor cosmetic details but nothing that made me not want the vehicle as soon as possible. First Drive: 2 words. Christ Almighty. This car is superb. The acceleration puts a smile on my face every time. I am coming from a 2008 Lexus LS460 so this car was quite a lot smaller. But that is no bad thing. Road Trip: The following day I took a road trip to South Lake Tahoe to experience this car fully. I have to say I was blown away. The handling the speed just the whole package was FANTASTIC. I started the road trip with 76% charge made it to Emerald Bay with 33% remaining. Scuba dived a bit near emerald bay and decided to head back around 7pm. The car told me that I would make it home with 26% remaining and I thought it was mistaken. I decided to stop by a supercharger and charged up to 75%. I then made it home with 63% charge remaining (absolutely insane). I currently have about 400 miles on the car and I average 230 wh m (and this is with the road trip and MANY hard accelerations). Autopilot: I was amazed at how well autopilot worked on windy roads in Lake Tahoe. It would decelerate on turns take them near perfectly and then proceed to drive with 0 interventions. The only times I would turn off autopilot was for the fear of a computer malfunction and me driving off a cliff not for the way autopilot worked. Last Comments: This car has made me want to live all over again. It is beyond amazing and I am glad I chose the AWD version of the 3. While in Lake Tahoe many people were asking to take pictures of my car. I didn t realize this vehicle was still this rare. Thanks for reading! Feel free to ask me any other questions in regards to my car. I am happy to answer! Edit: I should probably also say that I charged up in Nevada for $0.72 at the supercharger for about 45-50% battery (30% to nearly 80%) | 2018-08-24 20:12:08 | 27 | Non-P AWD is a better title.

Estimates for how much a 2013 2012 Tesla will depreciate in 2 years? | So I am currently a model 3 reservation holder but was thinking of the possibility of buying a older used model s85 to hold me over. Does anyone have a good indication of how much the model s will depreciate over the 2 years before I sell it to pick up my model 3? | 2016-09-10 19:45:51 | 14 | Let s use past data to figure it out. The Model S [retained 57% of its value over the first three years.](http: s3.amazonaws.com digitaltrends-uploads-prod 2015 06 musktweet.jpg) That works out to 17% depreciation per year. The median price of an 2013 CPO S85 today is $59 000. If you bought that car you would lose $10 000 in value the first year of ownership. You would lose another $8 000 if you held the car another full year - selling for $41 000 in September 2018. So basically that s half the cost of a base Model 3 to be driving a Tesla two years earlier if you re an average mileage driver and depreciation trends continue. | 2016-09-10 20:15:33 | 10 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 6,053 |

Model 3 Wheel Size Considerations | With the news that the Model 3 will have 18 and 19 wheel size options can someone explain what the pros cons are? Is it just aesthetic or are there performance range improvements with larger wheels? | 2017-06-06 23:38:09 | 16 | 19s will potentially have slightly more precise turn-in on the same model and width of tire due to the lower sidewall distortion. It will come at the cost of range comfort durability (smaller sidewall = easier to damage the wheel) cost of the tires and so forth. In short 19s to feel cooler and spend more money 18s for the real world as far as I m concerned. | 2017-06-07 00:03:02 | 9 | Model Y Wheel Options | 12,050 |
Tesla Roadside Assistance is a-w-e-s-o-m-e! | Short story... 500 mile 89xxx MY has a flat discovered it in the garage. I pumped up the tire went to a rinky dink tire joint today (Sunday) to get it replaced but of course they didn t have an GoodYear Eagle tire. Decided to come home and click roadside on my app. Got a call 2 minutes later stating a loaner tire and wheel is on its way and a replacement would meet me at work or home - mounted and balanced - on Tuesday. WOW!!! I have owned Toyotas and Fords so this is certainly a premium experience I ll never forget. I wish it was in a manual orientation or delivery checklist somewhere. Anyway I m thankful!😎 | 2020-12-27 23:29:38 | 111 | You had better luck than me. They forgot about me and had to call another 3rd party tow truck. | 2020-12-27 23:44:47 | 46 | Model Y Wheel Options | 19,417 |

Business personal use in car app | For those of us who use our cars for business use I always find I don t end up utilizing apps or writing down mileage as diligently as I d like to. I think the most elegant solution would be an option to have the car ask “was this for business use or personal use” at the end of each drive. Then at the end of the year you d have a very accurate and detailed account of mileage. Would be super easy to implement too! | 2018-07-17 16:56:47 | 7 | Fantastic idea! I second this motion. | 2018-07-17 17:05:25 | 3 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 3,091 |
