lo6rn2 | 926 | Stable Ev charger filter for Airbnb [Here is the updated version](https: airbnbase.com ev-charger) of ev charger filter. It does not break when you move the map and can be used from a mobile as well. Before it was a bit tricky to search the filter was coming off when moving or zooming the map and didn t work from a phone. No it s stable and works on mobile | I was so confused for the first few seconds and pulled a uncle roger. “Whyyyy da hell do you need an EV filter” Like how does it work and why and then I realized it was a filter for finding locations not an actual filter. I need coffee. | Thank you. | 100 | 6 | 8,106 |

lopowz | 125 | To anybody who may offer their Plaid S to Doug Demuro PLEASE show him NavonAP. Doug releases [this video today](https: www.youtube.com watch?v=AhthZ5rxQJs) praising Super Cruise and frankly their system _does_ deserve praise. It s a great competitor to autopilot. With that said this whole video gave me the vibe that Doug has never really used autopilot extensively! More specifically it sounds like he s never used Navigate on Autopilot. For where I live I can t imagine owning a car without NavonAP. The automatic overtaking of slower cars and the automatic interchange handling and exit taking is second to none. There is no other company offering these features and it s been a massive time saver to myself when traveling in an area I m unfamiliar with. I never miss an exit. I really hope u Doug-DeMuro sees this post or has an owner that can give him an in-depth autopilot review. I ve been a looooong time follower since before he had a Youtube channel and this latest upload just feels so misleading to somebody who doesn t know much about either system. I feel even r selfdrivingcars subreddit would agree that NavonAP is far more advanced. When the Plaid Model S is delivered and if he reviews one I hope it s somebody here that can show what Autopilot can really do. **Edit: Ugh not bashing Doug and nobody here should be either. It s constructive criticism he gave. My point is in my opinion NOA is far superior in features. Enough so that keeping a hand on the wheel is not a dealbreaker.** | IMO Doug will never fully like Tesla because as he s stated before he hasn t had a great experience with the Tesla community. Whether he personally thinks so or not I believe this tarnishes all of his Tesla experiences. I also am confused why he is *so* focused on being able to use Super Cruise hands free but your eyes are tracked to be forward facing anyway. This seems way more annoying. Not to mention that Super Cruise may indeed be superior *now* but it s a temporary bandaid compared to the system Tesla is developing. Edit: I feel like I need to clarify based on some of the replies here. I know Doug likes the Model 3 Y a lot. I ve seen all of his videos. I was simply pointing my opinion that I think his experiences with the Tesla community take away some of his feelings with anything Tesla. | I m also eager to see him review cybertruck I hope it ll at least make his opinion more positive | 79 | 4 | 8,109 |

To me he s been the most open to Tesla amongst all the “normal” car reviewers online. I don t want to see “TeslaIsGod99” review a Tesla I want some objective opinions. Doug s Tesla reviews are good. For his FSD video I feel he was saying that while FSD may end up being more advanced GM s self-driving may be more convenient for car owners. Maybe it is a hot take but there isn t some correct answer here either. Tesla isn t perfect. | Doesn t SuperCruise still only work on GM Approved Highways ? | 32 | 2 | 8,111 |
lpt9nm | 708 | PSA if your state has personal property tax. Buy FSD AFTER delivery. As someone who has the privilege to pay tax on a vehicle I already own (a whopping 4% a year at that hello VA residents): If you plan on buying FSD buy it AFTER the car has been delivered. The state personal property tax is based off the sticker price. For example: 4% tax on a $50k car (no FSD) $2k year 4% tax on a $60k car (w FSD) $2 400 year Waiting to buy FSD until after delivery will save you 400 year ~$35 month in taxes as the $10k is not factored into the value of the car come tax time. I m still kicking myself for not realizing that earlier! | Note to myself NEVER move to Virginia. This is absurd. | Could vary by state but the sticker price should be for the base price not any add-ons. My “sticker price” in Massachusetts for my Performance Model 3 was something around $50k (at the time I paid $72k) and basically charged me for the long range dual motor version but not the performance price increase or EAP FSD. You also pay sales tax on FSD if you buy it after delivery which could be quite a bit if you don t have cash on hand (where you could incorporate it into an auto loan). I recommend everyone check their local laws and doing some research before deciding what works best for them. | 473 | 6 | 8,112 |

lpv2l5 | 200 | Introducing Tessie for iOS & Android: Make life with a Tesla even better When I bought my Tesla about a year ago I noticed that the Tesla app and third-party apps and websites felt way less impressive than the actual car did. So after pouring in a lot of love I m excited to announce Tessie ([https: tessie.io](https: tessie.io )) for iOS Android and soon the web. There are a lot of macro and micro improvements to the digital Tesla experience too many to list here. Suffice it to say I ve tried to improve every missing piece and sharp corner that I ve come across as an owner while making it all as beautiful reliable and elegant as possible. Tessie tries (and is trying) hard to live up to the sophistication of the actual cars. I m not sure this will ever be fully obtainable but that s the goal.

I hope you find Tessie valuable. If not hopefully we ll get there! | This is really good. Thanks! Comments so far: The main screen has six buttons but on my 12 mini with display set to zoomed only four are visible without scrolling even though it looks like you could probably fit all six if you were to remove the blank space in the buttons. See... https: imgur.com a naEjnIj The weather display is cool and the app looks great in both light and dark mode but some screens use the blurred weather background and others use the solid light dark background. I get that it s lists vs display screens but it feels a bit inconsistent visually. I like the use of Face ID but it would be cool if the app could optionally wait to lock after a couple minutes instead of instantly. Would just make switching back and forth between it and another app a bit smoother. Otherwise really slick! | Downloaded. Nice work! | 29 | 2 | 8,115 |
lpwx2k | 55 | Spotify HiFi Spotify just announced HiFi. I m an Apple Music person and I prefer Apple Music - interface integration with everything etc… - but I found this interesting nonetheless: [Five Things to Know About Spotify HiFi — Spotify](https: newsroom.spotify.com 2021-02-22 five-things-to-know-about-spotify-hifi ) I know Spotify s integration with Tesla in the past has been iffy but got a major upgrade a few months ago. I m curious what you guys think of the possibility of HiFi being supported in a Tesla. That would make the monthly Premium connectivity subscription more useful and would sound amazing I think. | ❤️ Spotify. It s just seamless and works everywhere. I very much doubt this makes any difference thought.. | They really want me to go ahead and take delivery of this car. First the price drop now this? Also I have never heard of someone preferring the Apple Music interface over Spotify I feel like I ve spotted a unicorn! | 40 | 10 | 8,116 |
lqd3tp | 92 | My 5 month 9000 mile review of the Model Y I ordered my Model Y sometime in July 2020. I was told I would get it before Q4 of 2020 : which they were technically right. I ended up getting it on the very last day of Q3 September 30 2020. My VIN was 50xxx. Here s my experience. Upon pickup the car had really big panel gaps where the rear doors met the trunk. The T Tesla logo on the trunk was very crooked 2 of the 4 door handles were really sunken in and there was a tiny chip in the paint on the trunk as if it had been opened and banged against some kind of ceiling. I wasn t expecting to be picky but I mentioned all of this to the service people and they set up an appointment to fix everything. Within the first 2 weeks I took the car in and they fixed all of the problems except the paint chip. They said paint isn t done here it s done at another location so you ll have to make another appointment with our affiliate to get that fixed . The size of the paint chip wasn t big enough to where I really cared enough to make an appointment to fix it but that s kind of shitty that I got a brand new vehicle with an imperfection and was told I needed to go to a separate body shop to get it touched up. The car itself is a ton of fun to drive. The handling the acceleration the autopilot (when it works). We installed a roof rack to tie a dog cage to for a 100lb German Shepherd but we discovered that the cage actually fit in the backseat behind the seats so we didn t even need the rack. The amount of storage space in this car is insane. We went camping in the car prior to our road trip and I bought a mattress that contoured to the shape of the vehicle with the seats down. Me my wife and a big ass dog were able to sleep in the car comfortably and I was able to sleep in a t-shirt and shorts while it was 30 degrees outside because of the temperature control. Just need to make sure you re near an outlet RV plug overnight so you don t drain your battery while you sleep. Anyway I live in a cold weather state so I didn t know how owning an electric vehicle would go but as far as charging goes it hasn t been much of a problem for daily driving. I was ready to install a 220v outlet in my garage but the slow drip charge of a 110v has been enough to charge it over night for every day use. The fact that regen braking is nonexistent in cold weather does kind of suck especially since I got the car when it was warm out and the driving mechanics dramatically changed after a few months. When I bought the car I was able to drive completely with one pedal using regen braking but as it got colder outside the regen went away and it coasted just liked an ICE car and I had to use the brakes like any other car. I had just gotten my wife used to the regen braking and then the car essentially disabled it since it was cold outside and she had to go back to using the brakes like a normal car. I m not saying using the brakes is a problem but it s weird to get used to the new system of one pedal driving and then having it taken away from you overnight. Once we traveled to a warm weather state the regen came back and we were suddenly back to a different style of driving. I absolutely love the one pedal driving but I wish I could use it year round not just when it was warm outside. We decided to take the car for a road trip across the country. There were good and bad circumstances to this. We drove from Michigan to Kentucky to Florida to Louisiana to Texas to New Mexico to Arizona to California and then back through all those states to Tennessee and back up to Michigan. Somewhere in Arizona I decided to clean the windshield with a squeegee at a charging station and when I pressed the squeegee to the windshield it created a huge crack. I was not pressing hard at all and there were no prior chips or cracks the temperature outside was 65 degrees so it wasn t super hot or cold (the cleaning water was sitting outside so it was the same temperature). I called the nearest service center and they said well if we can t find a chip it s a free replacement but if we do find a chip you have to pay for it . Fair enough. I looked everywhere for a chip along the crack but I could not find any chips at all just a clean smooth crack across the glass. They of course found a chip but wouldn t show it to me because they already started to repair it and I had to pay over $1200 for a new windshield. My insurance deductible was $500 so I only had to pay that (lesson learned buy the glass coverage) but i was kinda pissed they wouldn t show me the chip in the windshield. My insurance guy said I d be surprised if it were over a few hundred dollars I had no idea Tesla windshields were almost $1300 to replace. There were 3 employees that inspected the car and they all came to visit me in the waiting room to say yeah yeah definitely a chip yep you had a big chip yeah but they never showed it to me. Anyway windshield incident aside let s talk about charging. We used the built-in GPS navigation on the car to get us to all our destinations and usually it was about 2-2.5 hours from charging station to charging station. Sometimes the car would try to get us to arrive at a charging station with only 5% battery remaining but during the drive it would say Drive under 75mph to arrive at your destination then Drive under 70mph to arrive at your destination then Drive under 65mph to arrive at your destination . Well...the speed limit in Texas is 80 in some parts so sometimes I would be driving 15mph under the speed limit just to reach the next charger without running out of battery. We eventually had to start looking up other superchargers on the route that the car wasn t routing us to and that meant stopping every 1-1.5 hours. Also when we arrived at our Airbnbs I was always scrambling looking for an outlet on the outside of the house because we would arrive with around 10% battery. Luckily most of them had an outlet that I could use but sometimes I had to ask the landlord to use them because some people think it costs like $50 to charge an EV over the period of 2 days. Some of the houses didn t have properly grounded outlets and apparently the car won t charge without a grounded outlet so I had to go drive to and sit in a Whole Foods parking lot for a few hours to get some charge because I couldn t make it to the nearest supercharger and there was no usable outlet at our Airbnb. This kind of stuff is just an added annoyance. Most of the superchargers took 25-30 minutes to charge so we let the dog out to pee got ourselves something to eat etc. and we were on our way. A few of the stations charged slowly and took 45-50 minutes though and those were kind of annoying. We had already been on the road all day and having to wait almost an hour just to charge the battery made the trip seem a lot longer. An 8 hour drive turned into a 10-11 drive. A 12 hour drive turned into a 15 hour drive. We knew the drives were going to be longer with this car but once you ve stopped 6 or 7 times to charge on one trip you start to get a little antsy. Can t argue with the price compared to gas though each stop was between $6-12. But if you re following someone with an ICE car during a roadtrip just tell them you ll see them tomorrow because you won t be able to keep up. Cold weather. The first time I started to slip on ice was scary as hell my vehicle started to turn sideways as I was going down hill because I let off the pedal too quick. I realized that letting off the pedal in this car is equivalent to aggressively braking so I quickly learned from my mistake. However the next time I started to slip on ice I was calm and collected and barely let off the pedal only to find myself still turning sideways again. I was able to gain control of the vehicle this time but I couldn t help but picture my wife driving the car and hitting a patch of ice. Guess i need winter tires? I dunno doesn t seem super safe in these conditions none of my previous vehicles lost control this easily even without winter tires. Autopilot. Dammit I want to love this feature so much and I do but I just can t trust it anymore. On our way from Florida to Louisiana I let autopilot drive almost 8 hours and it was nearly flawless so I started to place a lot of trust in it. However after that it started to seriously falter. Almost 50% of the time I was driving past a semi it would SLAM on it s brakes for no reason. If you looked at the screen it showed the semi jumping all around swerving into my lane (which it wasn t) and just getting a bad read on it s real life position. I thought the cameras were dirty so I cleaned them but it didn t help at all. It got so bad that every time my wife and I would start passing a semi we would both nervously look at each other and wait for the car to slam on it s brakes which like I said it did about half the time. One time it slammed on it s brakes and there was a car behind me that also had to slam on it s brakes and that car had another semi right behind it. It literally almost caused a horrible accident and after that I couldn t use it anymore unless there were no cars around the vehicle. This is a seriously dangerous feature until they can work out where the actual cars around you are in a 3D space without them jumping around. This is coming from someone who was thinking about buying the $10k FSD upgrade but after seeing how the autopilot handles highway driving there s no way in hell I would ever pay to trust this car to drive me around in complicated city intersections. Anyway I do love a lot of aspects of the car but it really does have an enormous laundry list of problems in it s current state. I m going to keep it for now and I don t plan on going on any more roadtrips anytime soon but the bloom is definitely off the rose. Here are some quick opinions on things: PROS: - Acceleration. God damn it feels good to hit that pedal - Interior. Seats are comfortable there s a TON of space in this car. The minimalism coupled with the screen is aesthetically pleasing (to me). Compared to other cars this thing feels like a dream to drive. - App. I love that I can set the temperature charging capacity see where the vehicle is via GPS etc from the app. Also control all the windows trunk frunk whatever. Very cool. - Toys. All the little easter eggs and sound effects are fun to play with. Obviously not a selling point but come on...you can t play Cuphead on a Jeep while sitting at a gas station. CONS: - Autopilot seems incredibly dangerous unless you re driving in daylight with no other cars around you. Random braking on a highway is really not cool. It can t accurately detect that cars next to you aren t coming into your lane they jump all over and the car reacts to it. - Cold weather. Living in a cold weather state means you don t get regen braking during the winter months and your battery charges slower. Also the stock tires suck ass in snow ice. - Rear view mirror + rear window is tiny and tinted(?) making it hard to use during night driving. - I have to open the Tesla app on my phone every time I approach my car to unlock it (it doesn t autodetect that I m near) even though I ve reset my phone keycard a dozen times. I wish the car just knew I was close and unlocked so I didn t have to pull my phone out and open the app. - Windshield glass strength. I know some people will be like you definitely had a chip in your windshield or you pressed too hard or something but I didn t. I m scared to even use the windshield wipers for fear of cracking another windshield. Never had this fear with other cars. Anyway I was really excited to get this car after a few test drives but after putting it through its paces on a long road trip I don t know that it s all it s cracked up to be. I m going to give it a while longer before I make any big decisions but I m not sure it makes much sense to own as a daily driver in a cold weather state. | I know it s too late now but it s the responsibility of the dealer to show you why a part under warranty is not covered due to outside influence. The way to do it is to take a ball point pen and run it down the crack if it stops you know you found the chip once you find the location it s easy to see it s a chip. It takes the bite right out of a pissed client because it becomes clear which is why we do it right in front of them. With that being said I would have not paid that bill if they didn t show me the outside influence before repair not a chance. | Non-Tesla owner here. Regen breaking doesn t work when it s cold? Why not? | 67 | 13 | 8,117 |

My insurance guy said I d be surprised if it were over a few hundred dollars I had no idea Tesla windshields were almost $1300 to replace. There were 3 employees that inspected the car and they all came to visit me in the waiting room to say yeah yeah definitely a chip yep you had a big chip yeah but they never showed it to me. Anyway windshield incident aside let s talk about charging. We used the built-in GPS navigation on the car to get us to all our destinations and usually it was about 2-2.5 hours from charging station to charging station. Sometimes the car would try to get us to arrive at a charging station with only 5% battery remaining but during the drive it would say Drive under 75mph to arrive at your destination then Drive under 70mph to arrive at your destination then Drive under 65mph to arrive at your destination . Well...the speed limit in Texas is 80 in some parts so sometimes I would be driving 15mph under the speed limit just to reach the next charger without running out of battery. We eventually had to start looking up other superchargers on the route that the car wasn t routing us to and that meant stopping every 1-1.5 hours. Also when we arrived at our Airbnbs I was always scrambling looking for an outlet on the outside of the house because we would arrive with around 10% battery. Luckily most of them had an outlet that I could use but sometimes I had to ask the landlord to use them because some people think it costs like $50 to charge an EV over the period of 2 days. Some of the houses didn t have properly grounded outlets and apparently the car won t charge without a grounded outlet so I had to go drive to and sit in a Whole Foods parking lot for a few hours to get some charge because I couldn t make it to the nearest supercharger and there was no usable outlet at our Airbnb. This kind of stuff is just an added annoyance. Most of the superchargers took 25-30 minutes to charge so we let the dog out to pee got ourselves something to eat etc. and we were on our way. A few of the stations charged slowly and took 45-50 minutes though and those were kind of annoying. We had already been on the road all day and having to wait almost an hour just to charge the battery made the trip seem a lot longer. An 8 hour drive turned into a 10-11 drive. A 12 hour drive turned into a 15 hour drive. We knew the drives were going to be longer with this car but once you ve stopped 6 or 7 times to charge on one trip you start to get a little antsy. Can t argue with the price compared to gas though each stop was between $6-12. But if you re following someone with an ICE car during a roadtrip just tell them you ll see them tomorrow because you won t be able to keep up. Cold weather. The first time I started to slip on ice was scary as hell my vehicle started to turn sideways as I was going down hill because I let off the pedal too quick. I realized that letting off the pedal in this car is equivalent to aggressively braking so I quickly learned from my mistake. However the next time I started to slip on ice I was calm and collected and barely let off the pedal only to find myself still turning sideways again. I was able to gain control of the vehicle this time but I couldn t help but picture my wife driving the car and hitting a patch of ice. Guess i need winter tires? I dunno doesn t seem super safe in these conditions none of my previous vehicles lost control this easily even without winter tires. Autopilot. Dammit I want to love this feature so much and I do but I just can t trust it anymore. On our way from Florida to Louisiana I let autopilot drive almost 8 hours and it was nearly flawless so I started to place a lot of trust in it. However after that it started to seriously falter. Almost 50% of the time I was driving past a semi it would SLAM on it s brakes for no reason. If you looked at the screen it showed the semi jumping all around swerving into my lane (which it wasn t) and just getting a bad read on it s real life position. I thought the cameras were dirty so I cleaned them but it didn t help at all. It got so bad that every time my wife and I would start passing a semi we would both nervously look at each other and wait for the car to slam on it s brakes which like I said it did about half the time. One time it slammed on it s brakes and there was a car behind me that also had to slam on it s brakes and that car had another semi right behind it. It literally almost caused a horrible accident and after that I couldn t use it anymore unless there were no cars around the vehicle. This is a seriously dangerous feature until they can work out where the actual cars around you are in a 3D space without them jumping around. This is coming from someone who was thinking about buying the $10k FSD upgrade but after seeing how the autopilot handles highway driving there s no way in hell I would ever pay to trust this car to drive me around in complicated city intersections. Anyway I do love a lot of aspects of the car but it really does have an enormous laundry list of problems in it s current state. I m going to keep it for now and I don t plan on going on any more roadtrips anytime soon but the bloom is definitely off the rose. Here are some quick opinions on things: PROS: - Acceleration. God damn it feels good to hit that pedal - Interior. Seats are comfortable there s a TON of space in this car. The minimalism coupled with the screen is aesthetically pleasing (to me). Compared to other cars this thing feels like a dream to drive. - App. I love that I can set the temperature charging capacity see where the vehicle is via GPS etc from the app. Also control all the windows trunk frunk whatever. Very cool. - Toys. All the little easter eggs and sound effects are fun to play with. Obviously not a selling point but come on...you can t play Cuphead on a Jeep while sitting at a gas station. CONS: - Autopilot seems incredibly dangerous unless you re driving in daylight with no other cars around you. Random braking on a highway is really not cool. It can t accurately detect that cars next to you aren t coming into your lane they jump all over and the car reacts to it. - Cold weather. Living in a cold weather state means you don t get regen braking during the winter months and your battery charges slower. Also the stock tires suck ass in snow ice. - Rear view mirror + rear window is tiny and tinted(?) making it hard to use during night driving. - I have to open the Tesla app on my phone every time I approach my car to unlock it (it doesn t autodetect that I m near) even though I ve reset my phone keycard a dozen times. I wish the car just knew I was close and unlocked so I didn t have to pull my phone out and open the app. - Windshield glass strength. I know some people will be like you definitely had a chip in your windshield or you pressed too hard or something but I didn t. I m scared to even use the windshield wipers for fear of cracking another windshield. Never had this fear with other cars. Anyway I was really excited to get this car after a few test drives but after putting it through its paces on a long road trip I don t know that it s all it s cracked up to be. I m going to give it a while longer before I make any big decisions but I m not sure it makes much sense to own as a daily driver in a cold weather state. | I know it s too late now but it s the responsibility of the dealer to show you why a part under warranty is not covered due to outside influence. The way to do it is to take a ball point pen and run it down the crack if it stops you know you found the chip once you find the location it s easy to see it s a chip. It takes the bite right out of a pissed client because it becomes clear which is why we do it right in front of them. With that being said I would have not paid that bill if they didn t show me the outside influence before repair not a chance. | Yeah autopilot isn t good enough to warrant me upgrading to fill self driving. Model y driver here. There fact that it relies almost entirely on the cameras for autopilot is scary. Sometimes the sun shines on the cameras and it disables it. The random braking is happening now more and more for me. | 67 | 18 | 8,118 |
lqv9ni | 1,151 | I sold my Tesla after one year (an honest review) I bought a Tesla Model 3 last year and I just sold it (well in Jan) It was an AWD LR. Over 30 000 miles on it. What I liked about the car: * Acceleration * Silence while driving * Not having to deal with transmissions shifting * Comfort of the interior - seats felt nice on very long road trips * The software updates: car did not have Netflix Hulu when I bought it * Sound system is fantastic * Voice navigation song selection worked very very well * Big beautiful screen that never lagged * One pedal driving * Not having to deal with sales people What I really didn t like: * Glitchy shit * Backup camera - weird colors weird lighting lags * Bluetooth calling - it worked they broke it it worked again they broke it in December LOL * Auto wipers - totally useless * Lack of real blind spot monitoring (doesn t work almost at all) * Lack of cross traffic alert * Self parking sucks * Auto high beams suck * Phantom breaking on Autopilot sucks Overall though: **Drivetrain:** 10 10 **Quality:** 6 10 (little more weighting here) **Overall:** 7.5 10 **So after spending the last 3 months of test driving cars in anticipation of this sale what am I going to get...** A *2021 Tesla Model S*. HUH **Let me explain:** You see it s like going from an iPhone to something shitty like a Blackberry. I test drove literally dozens of cars. BMWs Audis Mazdas etc. I test drove all kinds of cars with all kinds of powertrains and performance levels ranging from $30 000 to $90 000. No matter what OEM I d leave the dealership with the same thoughts: * God that transmission jerking is freaking awful - feel like I m waiting for clutch engagement and then downshifting at higher speeds * Man it s awful listening to that exhaust * It sucks having to keep my foot in the brake * Wow - the MPG numbers are pretty crappy - I m going to have to pay hundreds in gas each month * The screen is so tiny and laggy how the hell can anyone see anything on this thing * You mean I have to connect my phone for media and I just can t request a song * I can feel the engine shaking while holding the steering wheel * Damn these dealers are trying to screw me with nitrogen filled tires and fake paint protection BS * BTW\\^\\^\\^I was nearly ready to buy a couple of cars (glad I didnt) but the pure amount of BS from car salesman made me think buying a Tesla and putting them out of business was worth it alone. Bottom line - once you drive something so game changing like a Tesla - it s incredibly difficult to go back. It really feels like you are driving old news something that s outdated. I will say I ve considered repurchasing a Model 3 instead of an S but I would need to wait until there was enough of a difference for it to be worth it. Hard to say what that timeline looks like and with the 4680s that may be the next big step there. It was by no means an awful car. Again lots I really liked things that annoyed me but I have other needs as well now (space cargo) that I didn t before. I also didn t consider the S X before given their price points and aging looks. As far as other EVs go I test drove the Ford Mustang Mach E - the interior is nowhere near as nice as the Model 3 Y s. Not to mention it doesn t offer the same kind of features. The Leaf looks fugly and the Bolt looks fugly. I m hoping with the Model S including the new battery pack design real world range is closer to 350+ miles and the comfort level in terms of road noise is a big step up with noise cancellation. | Reading this was a roller coaster of emotions.

lrj0w6 | 25 | Wife got carsick while test driving a Model Y. I was convinced that a Model Y was the car for our family of 4. We just needed to do the test drive so my wife could experience the awesomeness of Tesla. The kids were already sold. I drive an 911 so my wife would be the primary driver of the Y. Test drive went well other than my wife got car sick half way through the test drive. She said the regenerative braking was so strong the stopping motion made her sick. As the test drive went on she was able to adjust the throttle so the drive was a little smoother. By that time she was already car sick and ready to return the car. Needless to say she is no longer interested in the Y. Tesla was willing to give us a weekend loaner to help learn how to properly drive a Y. Unfortunately she is no longer interested in the car so I declined. Has anyone else had this issue? I m also concerned about the regenerative braking locking up the wheels on the icy roads we have during the winter. Is there anyway to just allow the car to coast? The range of the model Y is plenty for our needs. I don t need the extra mile of range the regenerative braking will give me. I would prefer the freedom to choose especially given road conditions. | My significant other had the same issue. Largely it s just learning to properly one pedal drive. You won t be 100% after just a test drive. | You get used to the driving feel. More or less. My wife drives a Model 3 and says when she is driving she isn t sick but rhwn I m driving she does. When I first got the 3 and used autopilot I got motion sick for about 3 months of driving it. Then I adapted. My wife gets sick as a passenger if from too much regen braking. But you do get used to it overtime | 129 | 9 | 8,123 |

So this is a about as informed and unbiased as you are gonna get. Not only will she adjust (and quickly) she will also quickly grow to prefer the one pedal driving. Whenever I get in a regular car and lift my foot off the gas now I feel like the car is careening out of control if only for a moment. Seriously this is not the reason to pass on these cars. | When I first started driving EVs that are set up well for grip I made myself carsick! It does get better once you re used to the torque though. Reminds me of how those turbo diesel cruisers from Germany used to feel.

lrsqoo | 34 | Tesla Does Not Cover Unexpected Vehicle Noises Under Warranty Hi all! I wanted to leave some information here regarding my experience with Tesla Service. I have had my Tesla Model 3 Performance since August 2018 (back when they were selling for \\~$78K fully loaded). I brought my car in for service numerous times primarily for cosmetic issues but occasionally for rattles and noises. In the past they tried addressing the noises and were partially successful. Recently some of the rattling noises have become more pronounced and annoying. After making a service appointment I was told that noises are not covered under warranty and I would have to pay out of pocket to have them addressed. Tesla said any work done to fix noises in the past was a courtesy. I am shocked that a luxury car brand would act this way. I love my Tesla but am becoming increasingly frustrated with quality and customer service. *I should add that this is my family s 5th Tesla and that I have driven every currently available Performance Tesla except the old roadsters.* | Honestly after 3 years of wear and tear rattles are not going to be covered. I haven t really heard that with any brand. It depends on the underlying issue. | Most companies have a rattle warranty. Volkswagen and Audi s are around 12k miles. This isn t uncommon unfortunately. | 63 | 7 | 8,129 |
lruokp | 42 | Transporting Model 3 across the country by common carrier would Valet mode be a good idea to turn on? Son is shipping his car home. Would the valet mode allow full power but not speed to allow it to go up the ramps of the truck? Is this a good idea? I know if I got my hands on a Tesla I d like to see what it could do. | Yes and put the speed limit on. I do all this when I give my car to anyone I don t know. | Car transporters move all sorts of cars. I wouldn t over think it. | 55 | 19 | 8,130 |
lskq32 | 165 | Someone is pretending to be with Tesla Insurance and trying to scam me for my VIN number. PSA for those that have Tesla Insurance. Hi there I hit a raccoon with my Model 3 on December 21 and my body work was completed by the first week of January. Everything went super smoothly and Tesla Insurance was great to work with. Anyway starting Monday I have received numerous calls and messages from someone claiming to be from Tesla Crawford insurance and they keep asking for a picture of my VIN and the after-body work photos to complete the virtual inspection I called Tesla Insurance and they said that there is nothing on their record they would never send text messages like that and the case has been closed. So it s definitely a scam. Questions I have: how did they get my information and what could they do with my VIN number? Use it to get inside my car or something? I didn t give them anything yet. Has this happened to anyone else? I also want to make others aware of this in the event it happens to them too. Please call Tesla Insurance Crawford before sending anything to anyone especially via text message. It sounded believable through messaging but when I spoke with him on the phone everything was suspect after that. [Here s a screen recording of my chat with him](https: imgur.com a lj2QP7h). | Is it definitely a scam? Knowing Tesla it s possible this is the right hand not talking to the left hand. | Unless they re getting info from tesla it seems very odd that they were reaching out within days of a real insurance claim. I m guessing there s a less than < 50% chance that it s legit and tesla is just stupid unaware of it or it s their partner. Not saying that s high enough to blindly give it out but seems like a bit of a coincidence. | 85 | 14 | 8,131 |

Has this happened to anyone else? I also want to make others aware of this in the event it happens to them too. Please call Tesla Insurance Crawford before sending anything to anyone especially via text message. It sounded believable through messaging but when I spoke with him on the phone everything was suspect after that. [Here s a screen recording of my chat with him](https: imgur.com a lj2QP7h). | Is it definitely a scam? Knowing Tesla it s possible this is the right hand not talking to the left hand. | Maybe they re trying to list your car and scam someone on Craigslist or something. | 85 | 20 | 8,132 |
lskq32 | 165 | Someone is pretending to be with Tesla Insurance and trying to scam me for my VIN number. PSA for those that have Tesla Insurance. Hi there I hit a raccoon with my Model 3 on December 21 and my body work was completed by the first week of January. Everything went super smoothly and Tesla Insurance was great to work with. Anyway starting Monday I have received numerous calls and messages from someone claiming to be from Tesla Crawford insurance and they keep asking for a picture of my VIN and the after-body work photos to complete the virtual inspection I called Tesla Insurance and they said that there is nothing on their record they would never send text messages like that and the case has been closed.

lt9i3k | 146 | Confirmed: 2021 Model Y s produced after Feb 7 contain 82kWh packs I just finished test driving a Model Y LR here in FL and while walking out to the vehicle I asked the Tesla rep when the Model Y would be getting refreshed with the 82KWH pack. He stated all Model Y vehicles manufactured after Feb 7th have the new intelligent headlights interior console refresh as well as a currently software limited 82kWh battery pack that will be opened up via OTA update.

ltnotx | 28 | PSA 2021.4.10 doesn t fix cam and yours might not have been recording for months Some months ago we stopped being able to able to see video s in the car despite having usb since 2019 European delivery of our model 3 but it still showed everything normal as far as we could tell. I know others are experiencing the same. Giving that only recently one of us started driving to work again we didn t mind having to take it in manually if it ever came to issues. But we where wrong. Even 4.10 didn t fix our issue as it s something completely different: what I suspect is all USB drives stopped working after a 2020 update I can t figure which and if you didn t notice the cam icon which is not the sentry icon disappeared you can t tell. Now this happend while many owners like us is working from home most or all the time so like us I suspect many don t even realize today if they like us didn t check videos religiously every time. I suspect it might be related to certain 2020 changes that per Tesla standard was communicated poorly. We must have sone at least 2 soft reboots in 2020 for other reasons but kept hearing cam viewing was a bug not usb related. So we didn t dig too far into this. It s fixed by soft reboot and reformatting the key. TL:DR you have to see 2 icons with sentry enabled: sentry and a small cam. This is important for older owners especially 2019 and earlier might believe its recorded but have to reformat perfectly working USB disk for it to actually work. Ours was not working for months before i dug into this. | As others are saying it s an issue with your drive choices. Endurance microsd cards with an adapter or a ssd are your best choices. Standard usb drives can t handle the constant writes and fail. Edit: I Created a small table with some of the commonly used recommended drives and some data on them. It s also worth noting that in extreme temperatures even the endurance cards have reduced life. Sandisk specifically calls this out at 100 cycles on their endurance cards if operating in extreme temperatures. I really believe that this is why many people see early failures on drives in general as the non-endurance memory modules likely aren t going to stand up to anywhere near 100 cycles. https: docs.google.com spreadsheets d 14y96Wkme79LP2q8TpZnJ_Vw7CpGCVrcSq2Q4ro6kQ84 edit?usp=sharing I switched to a Samsung Endurance card about 1.5 years ago after blowing through a half dozen other drives in the first ~1.5 years of ownership and haven t had a failure since. It s worth noting that sentry wasn t even a thing initially when I got my car so those ~5-6 drives I went through were all in a relatively short period with them averaging a few months apiece of continual writes. The T5 s lasted the longest for non-endurance for what it s worth. Edit2: Also worth noting that if you do go with the MicroSD route try and get a reader that only has 1 slot. Mine s a dual slot reader so I can t format the card in the car when it fills up. | 2021 Y with the Tesl provided USB stick would stop recording every few days. Discovered that I could simply unplug and replug it vs formatting or rebooting. Finally got annoyed and tried a SSD with a $7 USB to SATA adapter from Amazon and now it s 100% reliable. Have had zero issues since. | 36 | 2 | 8,137 |
lu3b2v | 308 | Ford F-150 Hybrid with Pro Power Onboard Charging my Tesla Model 3 A friend just got a new Ford F-150 Hybrid with the Pro Power Onboard feature which is a 7.2kW inverter. It provides a L14-30 receptacle (along with four NEMA 5-20 receptacles). So of course this test \\*had\\* to happen. -) It would be a great way to rescue stranded EV s. [Ford F-150 Hybrid charginig my Tesla Model 3](https: preview.redd.it t2pwhy8ro4k61.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=67371847d916e8d41105030b6b3c70f23c21dd2a) It looks like neutral and ground are bonded together inside the F-150 which is good as the Tesla will refuse to charge otherwise (easy to accomplish though if needed). [L14-30R receptacle with adapter to NEMA 14-50R so I could plug in my UMC Gen 2](https: preview.redd.it afm11lyto4k61.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=b37b7e15e7969a7619d0e747f4b414221b3bc703) The truck idled at about 1000 RPM. Way quieter than a portable generator! [I took it right to the max of 30a it only dropped a couple of volts to 236 volts](https: preview.redd.it pgddrfg1p4k61.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=ce117fb908f18b5eb658a9e8bcb5cc31d6d72645) I am curious if the Ford would put up with hours of charging at this rate? Technically EV charging is always considered a continuous load under NEC and so you are supposed to only pull 24 amps (80%) on a 30a circuit. But I don t know that NEC even applies here as it is not a structure? The truck says it is rated for 7.2kW so why not? [The Tesla says it is drawing 30a @ almost 240v](https: preview.redd.it m1mufrz5p4k61.jpg?width=4032& format=pjpg& auto=webp& s=1fcf434fffb84f71520b4fe6a11a95406f32a64f) So we are loading the truck right up just about to its limit. I would be curious if it would put up with doing this for a full charging session? We just tested for a few minutes to prove it was possible. -) I have a video of this as well but Reddit does not yet support video. | Now that s what I call a write up! Good information with good pictures! Thank you for this! | This is really neat. Awesome feature for ford to add! | 85 | 25 | 8,138 |
lu53sf | 731 | Renewing my Toyota RAV4 lease.... or how I bought a Model Y. Bear with me... it s long and I need to get it out! I have a month left in my Rav4. My Toyota s have been ridiculously reliable. The Rav isn t anything fancy and today I went to just lease another one. I wanted the same model keep it simple. My old neighbor is the salesman or should have been had he not gotten Covid and is still recovering. No big deal he will call ahead any make sure they take care of me. Tells me to see Sam. I show up and ask for Sam. He hands me to someone else (strike 1). This tool never gives me his name (strike 2). I m already fuming I ask for the same model but want to test drive because Toyota put an electronically controlled continuous variable trans in it ( had one in a Chevy and it was horrible). I drive it... it drives like crap. He gets me a hybrid model with more bells and whistles to test this drives really nice. I ask him how much. Come back with $598!! It wasnt that nice! He says “well my manger want to know what number is good for you”. It s a lease!!!! Since when do they attempt to deal on a lease!! He starts all the typical car salesman crap (strike 3). I m done. Tell him I ll get back to him. They offer the find the model down that s cheaper but want $500 to do that. I leave. My wife knows I want a Tesla. She convinces to go look at least. We show up to dealer no pressure from the get go test drive the 3 and Y. It drives 100 times better then the Rav. He goes over everything I ask. There s no pressure to buy no pressure to upsell. He already convinced the kids. I m sold. The buying process simple the worst part is the wait but that s only a week. I didn t care about color and they had a long distance Black on the way to the dealer this week. It s now mine. In the end I m paying $50 LESS then the fancy Rav4 and I m getting more features. I didn t get the FSD but outside of no Apple CarPlay it s has MORE. So I m think I m going to be happy and you are still reading thanks for listening. I needed to vent!! Edit: thanks for the comments and awards! You people are awesome. | As a soon to be Tesla owner it was really shocking to me how reasonably priced the 3 Y are. The standard range are a CRAZY amount of value for the feature set you get. | Make sure you have an electrician install the charger ASAP. Don t use the one that comes with the car if you are parking outside. You ll have to buy the other one that is meant to handle the elements. I wasn t aware that my car that I only drive outdoors couldn t charge using the included charger outdoors (without premature failure). The service tech who came out gave me all this info. | 131 | 5 | 8,139 |

So I got all the glass done (sides roof and trunk) with a ceramic film (ATR Series 15 50% heat rejection) and it s awesome. I even noticed a significant difference in the heat coming through the side windows (which you d get in any car). Cost was around $300. | 93 | 29 | 8,147 |
lus5b1 | 66 | It appears paid FSD is depreciating quickly in used cars I ve been searching around a bit for a used Model 3 and I ve noticed that the best deals seem to be the ones that include FSD.

You ll generally pay the same at a dealership for a FSD car vs an AP car - they re clueless. As a result private sellers can t really price a car $10k more because it has FSD. | Doesn t matter if it costed less then it s the same product you d have received if you bought it now. If the m3 hasn t been retrofitted you can just make an appointment and have it done. Plus most cars aren t even in the beta of it so I m not sure the correlation.

luw7cp | 28 | Usb C ports on New Tesla model 3 LR Hello everyone I just took delivery of a 2021 model 3. It seems my car was configured a little different from all the videos I ve seen. On a positive note I have a heated steering wheel. Looks like tesla took away all usb A ports. I have 2 usb type C ports inside the center console closest to the cup holders. I was expecting the 1 usb A and 1 usb C in the back of the center console under the screen. Also have the 2 usb type C ports for the passengers but I already knew about that update. So USB type C should be faster but I m getting less than a 1 amp charge to my iPhone. I ve tested on multiple adapters and cables all consistently under 1 amp. I m going to submit a service request and see if this is expected. Besides that I m loving my Tesla! update: i ordered a USB C to lightning port (power delivery supported) and I ll update results of tests. | There is one USB type A in the glovebox where the memory stick is. I find the wireless charger is quite slow. But my type c to lightning cable charges my iPhone very fast. | Have you checked both ports? I m wondering what the charging protocol is for each one. | 35 | 2 | 8,151 |
lv2f9s | 127 | Feature request: change the order of loading software when starting up the car (M3) I regularly go and re-park my car. I have pin to drive activated and everytime I enter the car and try to enter my pin on the screen after pulling the drive stalk there s a huge delay (10-15s) before it responds to input. Consequently my colleauges in their ICE cars will drive off and repark before I m able to even though they drive last century s technology. This is a minor annoyance I ve had everytime getting into the car but I don t want to disable pin to drive for safety reasons. Please make the part of the software managing user input for pin to drive load before music nav and other apps. M3 LR AWD Dec 19 HW3. | Recognition: 100% I get into my car hit the brakes PIN pad activates. After entering 1 number: boom calendar on top of the PIN pad. Calendar activates navigation. No more PIN pad.... In the end: hit the brakes again to get a second run to enter your PIN. & #x200B Tesla should REALLY keep the PIN pad on top having focus. The calendar & nav should either wait until PIN is entered OR launch in the background. This behavior has deteriorated some after recent updates. | Just curious do you have sentry enabled when where this happens? It sounds like your car is in sleep mode or something my model S always runs sentry and I can put in my pin and put it in gear within 1-2 seconds. Last time I updated and had sentry turned off it did take longer to get the car to wake up etc. | 90 | 21 | 8,152 |
lvyqju | 92 | How high does the monthly subscription for full self driving need to be to make the $10 000 one time price a good value? So more and more reports rumors are coming out that Tesla is launching a pay-as-you-go subscription for FSD before Q2 wraps up. Assuming the feature is as good as advertised and is out of beta when the subscription option hits the street: What monthly rate does it need to be to make buying the $10k FSD option today a good buy? First as of now FSD is tied to the car not the owner. Therefore the FSD option only has value so long as you own the car. Second at least through Tesla FSD has zero trade-in value. So $10K is essentially a one time non-cancellable subscription for your ownership of the car. If the subscription costs $100 mo then you d break even at around month 100 which is 8 years and 4 months of ownership. Me personally I m guessing I ll have upgraded or at least strongly considering it by then. Not included in that math is the tax and interest which is charged on the software when you buy it up front which will vary from person to person. Also there s the opportunity cost of not having that $10k in your pocket for those 8+ years. So where do you think Tesla needs to price the subscription to not infuriate the people paying $10K for it? Will anyone be willing to add that much to their monthly bills to add the feature? | I think everyone would be stunned if it comes in under $200 month. That fits the “being more economical to have bought it outright” however not having it tethered to the car adds value. Personally $200 is my max budget for it but $150 would be incredible. $10k is also the peak I see for FSD. I feel pretty confident the take rate is terrible at that price point. | FSD for Tesla is marketing fraud. Germany already clamped down in them. If FSD is thesis for owning Tesla stock it s built on fake foundation. | 88 | 8 | 8,153 |

I only have ever used FSD features for auto lane change on the highway (even then I turned off the auto - I just enjoyed not having to brake change lanes changes lanes again and then turn back on autopilot). So with that said unless Autopilot features like auto lane change self park become 20x better then meh I wouldn t bother subscribing either. If I did subscribe it would only be on road trips anyway. For city driving - it s more of a hassle to trust the car and be extra alert not really knowing what the thing is going to do next than it is just to drive. I m good with driving my own cars for another 10 years which I d say is the optimistic case for real world 99.999999999% reliable self driving tech. The sensors in the current Teslas cant even tell when there is a parking bump in front of your car. No where near ready for true FSD. | I am worried they will put more features behind the FSD paywall once subscription services occur and even modify our current Premium Connectivity by creating various tiers of services similar to how OnStar works. To be honest I have FSD on my TM3 because it was how I could obtain HW3 and I had originally thought it would be beneficial on trade in. It never has been worth the price they charge and they have modified what they promised over time to where they have effectively clawed back expectations. Worse just try to understand what you get when you don t have FSD because the base features are no longer listed and you have to go search their site for the actual information its not shown when buying a car. So what do we have see below but realize even Tesla is not clear on all features and where the line is draw. Missing from their charts are features listed in the manual include speed limit sensitivity and recognition of those signs. However some of the FSD features are no longer unique to Tesla especially parking features. **Autopilot** * Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Matches the speed of your car to that of the surrounding traffic * Autosteer: Assists in steering within a clearly marked lane and uses traffic-aware cruise control **Full Self-Driving Capability** * Navigate on Autopilot (Beta): Actively guides your car from a highway s on-ramp to off-ramp including suggesting lane changes navigating interchanges automatically engaging the turn signal and taking the correct exit * Auto Lane Change: Assists in moving to an adjacent lane on the highway when Autosteer is engaged * Autopark: Helps automatically parallel or perpendicular park your car with a single touch * Summon: Moves your car in and out of a tight space using the mobile app or key * Smart Summon: Your car will navigate more complex environments and parking spaces maneuvering around objects as necessary to come find you in a parking lot. * Traffic and Stop Sign Control (Beta): Identifies stop signs and traffic lights and automatically slows your car to a stop on approach with your active supervision * Autosteer on city streets | 69 | 2 | 8,154 |

lw87lw | 110 | The best service experience of anything ever I just experienced the best service experience of anything I have ever had serviced in my life. I have had some (understandably) mediocre services and some good ones but the service appointment I just had could not be better in any way. It was as painless as never having the issue in the first place. I have an older used 2016 S70D and 2 weeks ago I got the 12v battery needs replacement soon message. I groan get home open the app and book the appointment which is 99% autofilled as it prompted me with the warning when selecting the reason for the service. Painless enough. Estimate comes in 0$ covered by my used car warranty without any questions asked. 2 weeks go by without any issues (car ran fine) 15 minutes before the appointment I get a call that the tech is on his way. \\~20 minutes later I get a ping on my phone that the car is repaired and my 0$ invoice. Literally the only thing I had to do was tap my phone a few times and receive a 10 second phone call. I spent more time giggling about how insanely painless this was then I did dealing with the issue. I really hope that they maintain this level of service for everyone as this is how you keep a customer forever. | Best ever? But I am told by most of Reddit (a huge portion of which does not actually own Teslas) that Tesla service is the worst ever. | Where was the service through? Which service center? | 35 | 7 | 8,156 |
lw8trn | 47 | Pearl white...just wow So I m getting close to ordering my M3P (I make car decisions months in advance of actually purchasing one) and I ve been set on getting it in blue ever since I started seeing that the paint issues have been fixed and I wouldn t be almost required to get a wrap. I love the color blue my Camaro was blue and man was it gorgeous and Tesla s blue looks really nice in the pictures. However I was at a gas station the other day and a brand new Model Y LR pulled in to get a drink or something and I was floored at how good it looked. The owner had specced the pearl white color with the black turbine wheels and damn. It still had the temporary tag on it so I know the black trim was factory as well. I m sure a ton of people on here already know this but if you haven t seen pearl white in person go check it out its not just plain white like you see on a lot of other cars. Its almost got this slight halo pearlescent effect that really makes the lines on the car pop. I just couldn t believe how good it looked in person especially with the black wheels and black trim pieces. Pictures do not do that color justice. I m actually kind of shocked how much I like it I m absolutely choosing white over blue now. It s kind of nice too because that basically makes my cost the same as what I was planning for before the $1k price increase! I do intend to get a clear protective film on the parts most likely to be chipped but that s a hell of a lot cheaper than a whole body wrap! | I ve never even considered a white car and when I ordered my Tesla I didn t even consider any others (ok maybe the red for a minute). Tesla s look great in white. | I agree that the pearl white looks really good on the curves of a Tesla. For years I was tired of seeing white cars (plain white not pearl) and was amused at Jeremy Clarkson s description of a Lotus they drove as “toilet seat white.” But Tesla s pearl white is definitely beautiful. | 44 | 5 | 8,157 |

ly0rso | 185 | 2021.4.11 - Allowing full regen in cold weather I recently installed 2021.4.11 and noticed that even with a snowflake (cold soaked) battery I was receiving full regen with no dotted regen bars and full regen strength. On one hand this is awesome if this is intentional by Tesla and they had enough data to suggest full regen in < 32*F weather is OK for the battery but I worry that this is a bug and that this could be hurting my battery long term. Is anyone else experiencing this on 2021.4.11 or is isolated to my 2018 LR RWD Model 3? It happened right after the update so I have to assume something changed with it that enabled full regen even in freezing temperatures. | Yes! I m in Toronto and just noticed this too. I didn t even consider it could damage the battery... | Interesting. I usually get very little regen in overnight 35-45 degree weather so I will watch tomorrow and advise if I notice an increase in allowable regen (I usually preheat for a few minutes anyhow so that will bias my experience). | 45 | 7 | 8,159 |

Lower SoC also has higher regen available so there are scenarios where you can see a snowflake but also have most full regen. As of a few updates ago all regen did cut off below 0°C though and I would be surprised if that changed significantly. [Here s an analysis I did](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments kq39dy model_3_factfinding_winter_edition_effects_of ) a couple months ago so the data s not that old. **EDIT:** There might be something to this. [Here s a drive I took this morning](https: imgur.com JY1s82K) on 2021.4.11.

lyb97n | 84 | Tesla Needs to Go Back To The Future! When I purchased my Model 3 in April 2018 Tesla was considered a small company and a startup and everyone said to give them slack when issues arose. However the service was first rate. You could call the service department directly and speak to a knowledgeable person make an appointment if needed (usually within 2 days) get a loaner (usually a Tesla) on arrival or an UBER chit to use as needed that day. They bent over backwards to address any issues and there was no reluctance to make repairs under warranty. Now Tesla is a Fortune 500 company appointments can only be made by computer and talking to a human is a herculean effort. Sometimes almost impossible. Appointments are weeks or months away and no loaner is provided. Additionally the company will do everything in its power to not do a repair under warranty and disallow things that should clearly be covered by the warranty. The battery warranty we learn now requires such a huge loss in charging ability that they know they will almost never have to replace a battery as if only getting 80% of what you bought is an acceptable situation. Tesla needs to go back to the future and provide what they did when they were a small startup. Ford is already starting to eat into their market with the Mustang and when companies like Mercedes that provide excellent service enter the market in a serious way more market share will be eroded. The excuses about being a small startup just don t apply to a Fortune 500 company. | You re just describing what happens to every company that goes from small to huge. Also they do still give loaners. And if none are available you can ask for a rental car (non-tesla) and they will get one for you. | No one has a warranty on their battery forever. The service being done on the phone is what allows them to offer what service they have. The cars are cheaper so they can t give people warranty repairs if they aren t deemed necessary. And the FUD about the mustang. That s a new car that just came out a single cherry picked month and Tesla s market share decreased but their sales still increase. | 60 | 3 | 8,162 |

My concern is more the need for service.. I think they get an A+ for the innovative parts and then for the regular car parts like a D. I got a used refreshed 2016 model s with 35k miles in October 2019 from tesla.. Car now has 42k miles on it.. Just looked at my app: - 7 mobile service appts - 3 service center appts Most are about door handles or windows things I ve never had to get service done on any other car I ve ever owned cause they made them too complex vs reliable. And the numerous mobiles are partially due to them not bringing the right parts and having to come back. The last 3 mobile appts are all the same problem report. the most recent service center appt is the pump for the battery thermal management going out which limited car operation until fixed. So yeah. I m 18 months into this and while I like the car still when my 4 year warranty is up (didn t they now get rid of that also on used cars?) I am likely not to want own this when I m paying for all these appts.. hoping by then there are appealing options.. or maybe by then most of my car will be new parts lol | 60 | 5 | 8,164 |
lz2mng | 66 | Thoughts from people who went from Model 3 to Model Y? I have a 2019 Model 3 with the performance speed upgrade and it s coming to the end of its 2 year lease in June so I m starting to plan on what s next. While I m slightly considering the S I m not sure how the timing will work out and it s also considerably more expensive. That brings me to looking at the Y. My only real gripe with the 3 is the roominess so thought the Y might be a nice upgrade for a bit more room. I d get the LR if going that route (not performance as I don t want the bigger wheels etc). My local Tesla branch confirmed that you can add the performance speed upgrade to the Y. Any Model 3 owners upgrade to the Y and care to share their thoughts? Thanks! | I ve got both a 3 and a Y. The Y feels roomier for sure but it s not a drastic change. There s a bit more head room and you sit higher which gives a different feel to the cabin but it s subtle. Most of the added space is in cargo areas. Give one a drive and see for yourself but I wouldn t expect a huge difference in feel. | I went from a 2019 Model 3 Performance to a 2020 Model Y Performance and I couldn t be happier. The cargo room is awesome! Handling is a little better in the 3 but overall the Y has been great and I m glad I made the change! You won t be disappointed. | 60 | 21 | 8,165 |

While I m slightly considering the S I m not sure how the timing will work out and it s also considerably more expensive. That brings me to looking at the Y. My only real gripe with the 3 is the roominess so thought the Y might be a nice upgrade for a bit more room. I d get the LR if going that route (not performance as I don t want the bigger wheels etc). My local Tesla branch confirmed that you can add the performance speed upgrade to the Y. Any Model 3 owners upgrade to the Y and care to share their thoughts? Thanks! | If you are a typical American the Y is your choice. I am European I like small cars that handle the best. The Y is a small SUV with those ugly plastic trim pieces around the wheel wells. And it is MORE expensive than the 3. 21 M3P and could NOT be happier...911 performance on beer budget! | > My local Tesla branch confirmed that you can add the performance speed upgrade to the Y. This will get you faster acceleration but not up to the speed of the performance model. > (not performance as I don t want the bigger wheels etc) Was the biggest concern for me. Now after owning the performance it is no concern and I m super glad I went for performance. Would have regretted going LR (not that there s anything wrong with that just make sure you wont miss the speed from the 3). | 29 | 3 | 8,166 |
lz32z0 | 31 | Will basic AP get an improvement from FSD SW? FSD will offer massive improvements on the freeway and city. So when will standard autopilot owners get to see an improvement? Since it s only used on a single lane in the freeway there s lower risk for error. Tesla should release FSD SW improvements to standard AP owners eventually right? | No official work or software confirmation for these that I know of. But it does seem expensive to maintain two codebases. So one possibility is that basic AP and EAP become feature-reduced versions of FSD. | I think production ap is already getting better because of the beta fsd testing when driving on city streets. There s definitely incremental improvements with each update. | 46 | 12 | 8,167 |
m0sbte | 27 | Why get a home charging station? I m just now looking into getting an EV and the clear choice for me is the Model 3. Now I m working out the more mundane details. A question that popped up is why get a home charging station for $350 (30% tax credit on $500 base price) when I can just plug it into a 240V outlet? My understanding is the included cord can provide 32A using the Nema 6-50 or 14-50 adapter for $35 or $45 respectively plus the cost of the outlet if you need to install it (this is all also 30% off). What is going on with the home charging station smarts-wise that might be a value proposition? It seems like a glorified extension cord the car is doing all the scheduling and converting. - The home charging station can go up to 48A off a 60A breaker so that s one reason right there but lets assume I m happy with 32A. - I see they can power share if we ever end up with two Teslas but that would be several years out (when there is a minivan equivalent that isn t $100K). - They have wifi but I don t know what that is used for. One would presume the car could tell you anything the charger box can. - You don t have to have a second charging cord or load unload you single charging cord all the time. It seems like splitting hairs over what amounts to a $325 price difference (after tax credit numbers for the adapter vs charging station) but I have a 240V 6-50 plug for my welder sitting right there by the garage door so it s hard to justify unless the charging station actually does something beside light up and look cool. | Unpopular opinion I m sure but if you can afford the tesla you can afford the charger. That said: 1) it s faster 2) it s more convenient because you can keep the mobile connector in the car 3) it s aesthetically pleasing to have in your garage | Here s a charger made in Canada that comes with a Nema 6-50 outlet and is $399. Sometimes they put free shipping in as a perk. [Grizzl-e Nema 6-50 Charger](https: grizzl-e.com product usa chargers-usa grizzl-e-classic-nema-6-50-2 ) It s rated to 40 Amps or about 10kw capacity. So with the fed tax credit that s $279.30 for a spare portable charger and the convenience of just plugging in when you get home. | 32 | 2 | 8,168 |

m1rwui | 66 | Is a Tesla able to avoid a crash even if the autopilot is not active? Hello guys my M3 2021 long range will arrive in a couple of weeks and I can t be more excited. But I have a question about safety I saw a lot of videos where the car was able to avoid a crash with the autopilot on but what if the autopilot is off? Thanks a lot :) | Just a word of warning I would recommend against trusting AP to avoid it collision on its own. If you sense that a collision is imminent take control immediately. There are some videos circulating of AP avoiding accidents but it is not entirely clear in a lot of the videos if AP was on or if the operator instinctually took control and avoided the accident and couldn t recall what happened in that split second. AP is very capable and very good at lane keeping but in some instances VERY dumb. Tesla vehicles do have Automatic Emergency Braking and Side Collision avoidance but don t overly rely on those features on their own to prevent an accident. [In this example](https: twitter.com greentheonly status 1365131783965192194) you can see how AP doesn t react to certain traffic conditions and doesn t really understand context like how the minivan was attempting to cross multiple lanes of traffic at the last second. It also did not realize the minivan had entered its lane until the vehicle was already mostly in the lane. [And another example](https: twitter.com greentheonly status 1360622235053133829) where AP is a tad bit slow to react to a vehicle slowing down rapidly in front. Remember to be vigilant and ready to take over control on AP if something doesn t feel right. Safe travels and enjoy the new car! Tesla AP is really great just remember it is a driver assistance feature and essentially autosteer and adaptive cruise control mushed together. Don t rely on it to get you out of dangerous situations. | It has various active safety features that are on by default as well as various passive safety features (such as collision warnings alerts).

m292im | 28 | If Tesla vehicles should not be charged and stored at > 90% SoC why can Powerwalls? If I understand correctly the battery cells used in both their vehicles and the residential Powerwalls are the same cells. So why can a Powerwall be charged to 100% safely and potentially not discharge for a long period of time but we re not supposed to do that with our cars? Do they have different BMSs which keeps the fully charged cells healthy in a different way than vehicle BMSs operate? | **Short answer:** One battery has a car around it the other doesn t. **Longer answer:** Cars operate in a very different environment than a powerwall. Extreme temperature change extreme charging and discharge speeds vibration shocks... All things that a powerwall is unlikely to experience.

It s not often they remain at 100% in actual use only during storm watch do I see it remain at 100% for more than 6 hours in a 24 hour period due to how solar and home load needs balance out. Also the cooling is pretty good on the Powerwall and runs all the time and I think the main issue for an EV is having the cells fully charged and insufficient cooling causing the dendrites to form. | 110 | 12 | 8,180 |

m2vo70 | 84 | One feature your Tesla has that you cannot live without in your next car Now having my Model 3 for nearly 3 years there are a ton of features (big and small) that absolutely make the ownership experience different that most cars. Autopilot updates no gas stations ease of charging... just tons of unique features. I believe the feature I enjoy the most (that I didn t have before in previous cars) is one pedal driving with auto hold braking at stop lights and stop signs.

But the car constantly dramatically slows and changes the setting because it thinks the speed limit is 50 mph whenever it sees a Rt 50 sign. | Why isn t Tesla just updating their maps using data collected from all the cars driving around seeing speed limit signs? | 78 | 17 | 8,191 |
m48x9i | 27 | Easy way to enter long passwords? I want to link up my Hulu Netflix etc. accounts but my passwords are ridiculously complex thanks to my password manager. Is there any way of entering my passwords other than using the touchscreen to type (e.g. copy paste from phone wireless keyboard etc.)? | I had a backslash \\ in my wifi password and the keyboard in the car does not have that key (I checked several languages) . You can also not paste into the password window. I used the speech recognition and said baskslash while the password window was open. Tadaa a backslash was written inside the input field. I felt like a hacker 😂😂 | Agree. I wonder if one could plug a keyboard into the USB port :) Seems that wouldn t be too hard for them to support given they obviously do game controllers...

m4mhw0 | 430 | Disorganized Launch of the Model S Refresh All I would like to preface this by saying that this is not a rant this is not a complaint but rather an essay into the disorganized launch of a product that was mentioned to us but once and never followed up on. **January 28th 2021:** Tesla announces the Model S Refresh. I visit the showroom the next day and put my deposit down. I figured if I see the yoke wheel and like it I can follow through on my order. I requested a Trade-in on my current Tesla and received the same amount as I paid (that however is a different story entirely). My delivery date is set for March 1 - 31. **February 8th 2021:** I receive a phone call from the Tesla Delivery Team. They advised that if I do not fill out my registration information my place in line would be forfeit and my wait for the car would be pushed to May 2021. I then filled out the information called them back no answer and sent to the overflow team out in Las Vegas. They advised that my profile looks good and I should be okay. **February 9th 2021:** I receive a text message from the Tesla Delivery Team. This time they are saying the same thing over the phone but it s in regards to insurance information. I told them I do not have a VIN and that I cannot fill out or upload anything. She advised to upload ANY insurance. Tesla prioritizes those with all information filled out. I was told again if I did not someone else would be prioritized over me and my car would be pushed to May. **February 10th 2021:** I get a phone call from Tesla Delivery at my local service center. They advised that all my information looks good but guess what. I need to apply for financing. I asked how long the approval would last and they told me “more than enough time as your scheduled to get the car starting from March 1st”. I told them I was uncomfortable with applying for a car when I did not have a VIN. She told me that she understood and that if I wanted to push delivery off I would now need to wait until June. The “demand” she said is “through the roof”. **February 11th 2021:** I apply for financing. My credit is pulled 4 times. **February 12th 2021:** I am approved for financing from Chase and Wells Fargo. Financing team chose the one with the better rate. I now have ALL information filled out on my profile. **February 13th:** My delivery date of March 1-31st has disappeared from my Tesla Account. There is no information just the “-“ by “Estimated Delivery Date”. **February 16th:** My attempt to reach my local sales center is in vain. On all attempts I am forwarded to the overflow team in Vegas who have been nothing but nice and patient with me. Unfortunately their knowledge is limited. They advised that they still see the delivery date of March 1-31st and that they would ping my sales advisor. **From that day on until now:** My Sales Advisors know nothing (not their fault). Overflow center maintains their stance of a delivery of March 1st - 31st but their optimism wanes as we are almost half way into March. My financing expires on April 12th and with each day that passes my Sales Advisor becomes less and less available as he does not have any new information to report. I have emailed “[email protected]” thinking I would reach someone outside of my Sales Advisory team but that email was just forwarded to him. Tesla s lack of care and lack of communication has turned me off to the point that I am left with a bad taste in my mouth. On my Tesla Account I have a Model S two Model Y s one Model 3. I have a Model S on order and a Model X on order as well. I am not here to brag and I am not here to complain about a company that has provided great service up until now. I have all but exhausted all of my options. Calling yields no results. Emails just get bounced around with no communication regarding my order. People are pinged by other people and my issue is passed from person to person until someone calls or texts me saying that “I ll get the car when I get the car”. I would not be writing this if they hadn t used the “Do this now or else” tactic. Especially when it effects my credit. I understand that I am not the only one who is in this predicament. There are other people who are in similar if not the same exact situation. My hope is that someone here can see this and enable Tesla to release some kind of communication regarding our orders. We know Tesla is capable of deliveries and keeping up with great customer support but this should not be allowed to happen to me or anyone else. If Tesla is to remain the great company that it is they should work to improve and we as customers are here to remind them. | Several comments about how the “wait” is typical or expected for a premium car.

m58cc6 | 614 | Just pushed my 2020 Model 3 to the absolute limit. I drive a 250mi range model 3 I was on a road trip and had secured enough charge for the trip according to the internal computer. Well I had 5 people total plus a car full of luggage averaging about 85mph the whole way. Needless to say I hit 0 miles left about 10 miles from my exit and 15 miles from my house. As I got off the exit I started to notice my speed couldn t go past 55mph. Then as I got closer and closer to my house the speed diminished. As I pulled into my neighborhood the car said turning off please find a safe place to park as I pull into my charging spot. I got about 15 miles after 0%. So I guess that s roughly what the reserve is. It was intense as hell. * Edit- for those wondering the car is running fine today and battery is still at same capacity. This was not intentional and was a very stressful experience. I m extremely proud of the car and how it was able to still get us all home safely. | 85 is an incredibly inefficient speed. but welcome to the club of 0% ers. | I feel like everyone should test this in their neighborhood so they re prepared for it to happen and know what to expect.

m6gegu | 26 | Dashcam USB failed during hit and run My wife was just in a hit and run guy sped off couldn t get plate. She went to click the dashcam icon and it wasn t there so of course it didn t record. Any idea if there s any other way to retrieve it? I called Tesla thinking they might have a copy but they told me because of privacy laws they d only be able to help me if I was in California. This is the 2nd time I have been let down by the dashcam function in my model 3 and now her Model Y. The USB was formatted correctly even had some recordings on there from last month but apparently it hasn t been working since then and we never noticed. It s just so flakey. Not even about the money damage at this point - it s the fact this guy hit a mom and 2 kids and now just gets to get away with it - after hitting a Tesla with the dashcam setup. | File a police report have the police submit the request to Tesla for the footage. | Alright first did the dashcam have space?

m6mrri | 22 | Does autopilot have trouble determining location of semi-trucks? I have a 2 year old Model 3 with FSD currently running 2021.4.11 software. I have noticed for about as long as I have owned the car that it has trouble locating semi-trucks. On the display they often jump from two lanes over to the adjacent lane and back.

m6yk16 | 216 | Has anyone successfully Convinced their property manager to install charge points at their apartment building? I m thinking about buying a model 3 but my apartment building does not have any charging stations. My apartment complex has outdoor shared parking with plenty of empty spaces and hundreds of units so I would imagine I wouldn t be the only one interesting in a charging station. Has anyone tried been able to work with their property managers to get a charging station installed? If so what was the process for your situation like? | I am a residential apartment developer. I managed to install two ChargePoint stations at a community we built in 2018. Part of the reason I was able to do that was my city was offering incentive for clean fuels and it was a new build. they have worked great. only recently did I have an issue with one of the charge points stations and had to get it fixed with charge points support. Ever since then I have tried to convince people in my company that we need to retrofit stations at some of our older communities. I have gotten quotes and proposals to install more ChargePoint stations or even simple clipper creeks or tesla wall connectors for residents. it always comes down to money. I m not very good with financing and accounting and so I have a hard time coming up with a return on investment for if we were to charge people money to plug-in. personally I would like to just offer charge stations for free. That s what I m doing at the current two charge stations that I have. it makes it a nice apartment amenity. other than that it s really just money and effort. We are making an effort to put them in to new builds but retrofitting is always way more expensive. And I think right now the older folk in my office don t see the need to spend the money. When the impending EV revolution is definitely on the horizon. The simple solution is running clipper Creek or Siemens stations to some parking spots. But those are “dumb” and not “connected” really to a network. charge point is pretty attractive in that aspect. But each CT 4000 is like $5000 not installed. But I m still pushing! | I did but they wanted me to pay for part of it... retrofitting is tough for most existing buildings since they generally don t have capital set aside for this. | 107 | 13 | 8,205 |
