What s in your Frunk? For us it s mostly hats and hiking shoes. Lightweight outdoorsy stuff that s most convenient when kept with the car but dirty enough to be worth keeping separate from our other stuff. What about you? Just wondering if there s a more optimal choice. Edit: Thanks everyone that s really interesting! Seems like: smelly gear or food useful emergency equipment and car care grocery bags groceries and sports equipment are the primary choices. And plenty of “nothing” as well. Edit 2: So many useful ideas I really appreciate it. Gonna upgrade our frunk game! One guy has turned his into a ball pit which is hilarious.

This may be a weird question… how secure are Tesla s computer systems? In other words how likely is it for a hacker to come along and mess stuff up within my car? I m not a tesla owner yet. I m a few years off before I can afford one but it s my dream car. So naturally I m daydreaming about my ownership of a tesla when I remembered Elon musk saying that Tesla s cars are more or less big computers on wheels. And he s right it really is. So I do a little research and I learn that tesla uses some drivers analytics to improve self-driving and stuff like that. I would imagine tesla has access to nearly all the information about their cars from its exact location to driving habits and frequent locations stuff like that. Do they handle this data with care? Moreover I m curious to see if there s an option to opt out of driving analytics and location tracking if someone doesn t want their info being shared with tesla. To all tesla owners do y all know of any settings in the car pertaining to this? Those are my only two questions. Thanks in advance!
I ll try to address your concerns in 2 points 1) Physical vehicle security There were a couple of security researchers that demonstrated ability to take partial control of a Tesla vehicle. In order to use the exploit they needed physical access to the vehicle. I believe Tesla quickly patched that vulnerability and I haven t seen any news of actual hackers exploiting Tesla s in the wild. Like any modern system I m sure there will could be new exploits in the future but I doubt someone smart enough to exploit a Tesla vehicle would be stealing them for a living. Also keep in mind that Tesla s are one of the least stolen vehicles…so overall the physical vehicle risks are fairly low when compared to traditional cars. 2) Data Like many vendors Tesla heavily relies on the cloud for data storage and processing. Even if Tesla is secure they have to rely on their partners to be secure. No one (including Tesla) throughout their software supply chain is invulnerable. But Tesla seems to have taken security very seriously up to this point and I only see them continuing to be a leader in this area. So what does it mean for consumers? I don t think we can completely opt out of telemetry data so you re out of lucky there. But know that our data is in good hands and that they re continuing to do their best to ensure data and platform security. I hope this helps.
There is an option to share or not your data in the car. Easily accessible.

2021.24.12 has me taking completely different routes to commonly visited spots I have several spots that I navigate to daily weekly etc. Been navigating to them for over a year now. After 2021.24.12 it is clearly taking different routes to get to these locations and seems to be preferring to take surface roads over highway interstate where it would save or be of equal time. I though it was a fluke the first time to avoid traffic but several regular trips later have resulted in the same outcome. Seems pretty interesting. Is anyone else able to notice this?
So keep in mind that GPS suites tend to favor routing people towards protected turns. If the GPS can route you to a destination and allow you to arrive in such a way that you make a right turn versus a left turn it ll do that. Also keep in mind that the Tesla maps *do* appear obey changes in OpenStreetMaps.org in relation to construction zones and such. So if there s a road under construction and it s marked as such in OSM then about 24 hours after the change the car will see the construction and route around it. *No it doesn t! What proof do you have??* I used to work near an area that went under heavy construction where they were building a parking garage. I eventually got tired of the Tesla routing me through the closed roads so I updated OSM to reflect the roads as under construction and that no through traffic was allowed on it. The next day the car stopped routing me down those roads. *I ve updated roads and never seen that behavior* Not all road updates exhibit that behavior. Putting roads under construction though does appear to exhibit that behavior. Also note that I ve had the car route me around trains that are stopped on railway crossings. That one was funny. I basically ignored the navigation until I got to the tracks then took the turn the car suggested to go around the train. As a general rule now I just obey the car s navigation. It seems to know what its doing in most cases.
Might be taking a route with a lower chance of a traffic accident

Just got a Model 3 never drove an electric car before I ordered a Model 3 Long Range on 8 10 with red paint and a white interior. I picked it up on the 9 18. My previous car which I traded in was a 2017 Mazda 3 2.5. I got into Tesla after watching so many reviews on Youtube. I also wanted a faster car since I can be immature and need to satisfy that side of me. I live in an apartment and the garage doesn t offer charges however a somewhat near Walmart has a WaWa with 150kwh chargers so I can shop real quick and get charged up. I also installed an outdoor 6-50R at my sister s house though the GFCI breaker is tripped every few hours (something I ll have to play with) Accessories: I got a cheap Frunk mat on Amazon I ordered a trunk and interior mat set from Taptes and a month before I got the car I ordered a spoiler similar to what the 3 performance has. It was only $120 and fake carbon fibre (glossy plastic) but it went on great and looks fine. Problems: I was super worried about problems with the car because of all the internet chatter. The only thing I noticed were swirling marks on the trunk lid paint in one spot like it was cleaned too much. The gaps on the trunk panels and trunk lid bigger than my old car but it s consistent which I m fine with. I also realized I never examined any new car I purchased in such detail before. I think all the news about Tesla is causing such a critical eye that problems present on all new cars to some extent are being pointed out. Things I love: \\- Red paint - It s not maroon or bright red it doesn t have that pull me sports car look to it. The $2000 extra cost is annoying especially since the white multi-coat is free but I m happy with my decision. \\- White interior - I can see how annoying it is to keep clean but I don t care it s so high end looking \\- Performance - I purchased the $2000 acceleration boost when I picked it up. I was even thinking of the ingenext module that turns it into a performance but I think this is enough. So many people have complained about the lack of exhaust note but the feeling of movement is everything to me. You push the pedal and it just explodes off the line. It s not shocking after 70mph but honestly that s probably a good thing I don t go to drag strips or race tracks. \\- General driving - The steering is great the car goes where you want it feels planted to the road as if it s on a track (rails). \\- The stock 18inch tires look really good (with the $60 caps). I know the Aero hubcaps get you 10\\~miles of range but I m not a fan of them. I do consider this a positive because they give you the option if they were being cheap they could have used basic steel rims under the hubcaps \\- The options available for customizing the car not just the infotainment system. You can change so much and I think Tesla is forcing other car manufactures to start upping their game. Some stuff that s annoying: 1. On the infotainment system sometimes text is slightly greyed out but it doesn t mean off not selected or unavailable . I m much more used to how software uses grey as an indicator of state. For example on the graphic of the car it says trunk in a light gray and below that it says OPEN in a somewhat darker gray. It makes me think Is the trunk disabled or is the function to open it disabled? . 2. You can t adjust UI window sizes or minimize some parts of the UI. If you aren t self driving I m not sure how useful the car s detection view is (the left side that shows what the car sees). I would love to full screen the map full screen the audio etc. 3. The navigation isn t as good as Google Maps. 1. You can t set a default zoom level or a preset levels based on distance of next navigation and It doesn t zoom far enough in when you are going slow or when a turn is coming up. This is annoying in cities. 2. I can t find out how to see alternative routes. Sometimes there are easier highway routes that might take a few more minutes but are an easier drive. Google maps shows you those routes and the time for them it even performs time updates as traffic changes. 3. On a drive from Long Island NY to New Jersey it suggested a route through Manhattan (NYC) that has a $6.50\\~ toll and heavy city traffic driving instead of an alternative where you only are in the city for a few miles on one street. The times were either the same or a few minutes more. *For those that are curious Route 1 was LIE -&gt (TOLL) Midtown Tunnel -&gt city streets -&gt Holland Tunnel. Route 2 was LIE -&gt 278 -&gt Manhattan or Williamsburg bridge-&gt Holland Tunnel.* 4. On the app icons represent either actions state or description and it s not consistent. There are three types Trunk is text and says open and close (Action). The charging port is an icon of a lightning bolt grayed out means closed bright means open . The door lock is a symbol that represents state a closed lock means it s closed open lock means it s open 5. If you are near the car (connected with bluetooth) it shouldn t warn you when you want to open the frunk. I get that if you are away from the car you should get a warning but I should be able to disable while connected with bluetooth. 6. I wish the windshield wipers were on the wheel stalk but I m not as upset now because I didn t realize you can hit the button a little to have it operate once. 7. I m having so much trouble getting used to the turn single stalk. The amount of force required to get past the marker for making a full turn is weird to me but I m sure I ll get used to it. Overall I m so happy with my purchase maybe I ll get a license plate that reads S00TLIFE Edit pictures that were requested https: ibb.co Bwkn0c9 https: ibb.co x6nHfdL https: ibb.co rM2VsSm The spoiler is plastic from China $120 on ebay

Don t worry about what you read on the internet. Most of us have no issues.
Unless your electric code requires it the circuit breaker shouldn t be a GFIC. The EVSE works like one as well. I have heard we re others have similar issues with a GFIC breaker.

This version is oddly only pushed to vehicles with 2021.24.5 or 2021.24.5 etc. Not many cars with 2021.24.10 or 2021.24.11 seem to be getting 2021.32.x yet. They are getting pushed to 2021.24.12. At least according to TeslaFi. No idea why that is.

I m still waiting for holiday update part 2 of 2
Has anyone got driver attention monitoring on a radar-equipped SR+? Reading release notes online I was expecting to get the cabin camera attention monitoring with 2021.32.10 but on my 2019 SR+ I only got the immersive sound update.

I hope it isn t but only because mine is in the shop after someone rear ended me on the highway. My wife drives 102 miles a day and uses FSD for nearly 70 of it and would gladly use it for the other 30. We can t wait! Going to ask the advisor to press the button for us haha

Parking at the airport I m leaving my M3 LR at the airport for a week and was thinking of setting up a driver profile “Low-Draw” to include settings. What should I turn off or lower? Thanks
I ve left my car at various airports many times including in the middle of winter in Toronto. The key is to let the car sleep and plan your arrival SoC correctly. Turn off sentry mode and summon standby adjust the settings on any third party software you use to not wake the car up budget for -10% week in the winter plus 20% cold soak lockout and preheat don t check the app often and you ll be fine. The most recent time for me was in June - I left my 3 for 8 days at the shuttle lot at JFK. It was at 82% when I took off and at 80% on return.
I have parked my LR for two weeks at an airport and did not adjust any settings. Like someone else said just leave Sentry Off and don t get in the habit of checking in on it on the app. The app basically wakes the car up from deep sleep every time that happens

If everything s turned off and you don t wake the car via checking the app every hour the car will go into deep sleep I think. No sentry mode cabin overheat off that s about it.

My wife does not want me using FSD when she s passenger in my Model 3. Do I fight for joint custody of the kids or just visit them on weekends?
My wife seldom uses autopilot but when I m driving she insists I use autopilot. It seems to me she thinks she s better than autopilot but doesn t think I am.
If you re on FSD why are you even in the car?

I had to show her I knew exactly when FSD would have problems and that I was ready to take over. Spend enough time alone so you are 100% sure of what will happen.

Has anyone with MCU1 gotten the button yet Wondering if the visualizations are required for the beta (or for production release). It seems it would be important to monitor for safety.
MCU1 is EOL. Won t go beyond 2020.48.37.x. There s debate on whether they will actually get FSD because the Tegra can t do the same UI stuff
I didn t think MCU1 cars can upgrade to the recent version

How long did it take to learn to trust autopilot? Just got my model y today. Turned on autopilot on the way home.. found myself white knuckling and hovering my foot over the brake. How long does it take to finally relax?
After about a day. After 2 years I still treat it like a student driver. I m still the driver.
Uh after the car properly stopped due to traffic ahead a few times while on autopilot I felt confident it would keep doing it But I don t trust it around construction or poorly drawn lines on the street.

Hover over the gas not the brake. Phantom brake is far more likely than not braking.

I ve never once used the brake due to autopilot. I hover my foot over the accelerator if anything. I was white knuckle at first but now I trust it enough to drive 250 miles with no disengagements. So relaxing. It took me some time but after 25k miles using it I white knuckle if I have autopilot off. It s so much safer

Noticed a new behavior after pressing The Button My model 3 seemed to go much longer without a nag while operating under autopilot on the highway HOWEVER when I started fiddling with my phone I got an audible warning to apply wheel pressure after about 15 seconds. I moved the wheel without looking up and got another audible warning to move the wheel about 10 seconds later. I put my phone away and didnt get any more nags. I m guessing that the car is using the eye tracking camera now?
For your own safety and that of others around you please try to stay off your phones when driving. If nothing else when the car is moving. I ll end my PSA now.
I noticed it asked for my hands on the wheel while at long red lights. Even if I was behind other cars.

Request: Bike rack mode. In the off chance an engineer or product manager reads this subreddit. Tesla should introduce a “Bike rack mode” to be used by those with hitch mounted bike racks that can only be enabled and disabled from the car itself (Like car wash mode). This should do the following whenever enabled: - Disable remote opening of the trunk from either the screen or a phone. Trunk can only be opened by pressing the button on the trunk. This is to allow racks to be angled away extended away from the car before it s opened preventing damage. - Disable the rear proximity display while driving forwards. Right now my car just shows a permanent red line behind the vehicle as I drive. Whether there are bikes on it or not. - Disable the proximity chime of the sensors aimed directly behind while reversing. Leave the other ones running to prevent curb rash on wheels. - Obviously disable the ability to reverse via summon We already have a tow mode. These changes are mostly software so I don t see why they couldn t be deployed in a similar way like how they fixed the windshield wipers or joe mode.
It s in the queue right behind waypoints and Apple Music. s
Couldn t agree more. This is my most wanted feature as I await my Model Y. My Subaru has a small dent and scratched rear hatch from remote opening while rack was in use. The sensor issue is just plain annoying!

Thank you post this. I just installed a tow hitch to my 2018 Model 3 and this was the exact my thought during our first bike towing. All your suggestions are good and easy to implement. To go a step further: Have the back camera ignore the back rack so the existing algorithm for back warning can still be used. This is not trival but should be possible with some photo video filter at least when there is no bike on the rack.

Time-bound supercharging!?? Does anyone know what this means? I just received my vehicle back from repair shop I noticed after super charging I never was billed. I decided to check me acct and it s listed as time- bound supercharging til oct 8.
They re just nice and gave you free supercharging for a while
I don t know but I m curious. I m guessing that the service centers will supercharge the car for their own purposes and just use a code while the vehicle is in the shop to prevent the owner from being billed? And in your case the fumbled the date?

Pillar Camera Film? Or did I just do something terrible? I noticed that a film was peeling back on the underside of the pillar camera area so I pulled a little bit and it came away really easy. Like the same kind of protective film found on the center screen and mirrors when I first received the car. Only issue is that there s an oily adhesive smelling substance underneath and now I m not sure if I did something stupid. I tried putting it back and you can see how well that worked. Acquired the car in June and this film has been in place since then and I noticed some swirl marks around the cameras too. Is this film supposed to come off? Feeling stupid either way with this thing. Edit: [before pic with some slight peeling and haziness](https: i.imgur.com HDrDiDI.jpg) [After removal and attempt at reapplication](https: i.imgur.com bRW5Y9Q.jpg) Noticed the same thing on the [other side](https: i.imgur.com sEKx5s9.jpg) as well
Film is supposed to come off. They forgot to take it off at delivery.
It s fine. Just clean the oily residue with soap &amp water. This is common I had the exact same thing. Now my pillars look great too.

Unpopular opinion: Safety Score is the best thing Tesla could of done to get FSD to production and you shouldn t be mad about it *Could have* . Lots of hate on the scoring system for fsd beta entry. We should know what the score for entry is and the statistics that will weigh heaviest. That said we paid for production FSD. This is beta and beta of any software has restrictions of use and specific use cases for it s testing. Yes we paid 5-10k depending for it. It will get widely released. You re free to drive the car how you want but participation in a beta where all regulatory eyes on them needs to have restrictions of whose going to be responsible enough to TEST report this product. How many videos are there on YouTube tictok Instagram etc of idiots sleeping while driving on the highway? If you want fsd to never come to fruition having an open non regulated beta is how that happens We need to keep in mind these are very heavy very fast killing machines. Don t take the responsibility lightly of monitoring them to not murder some kid playing in the street. This is my opinion and I m not hating at all but If the driver can t handle a week of cautious driving then they can t handle that responsibility. In the past month we ve seen more ticktok morons driving outside of the seat 2 diff occurances of drunk drivers and more 16-22 year old greenhorn drivers in teslas. Doing something Tesla hasn t really done in the past (be cautious) is the best move Tesla could have made to widely release a very much beta software. I m prepared to be downvoted to hell but even if I m not picked for the beta I m happy that Tesla is being careful and it s one less thing the press and regulators can say to give Tesla a bad name.

Unpopular opinion: Safety Score is the best thing Tesla could of done to get FSD to production and you shouldn t be mad about it *Could have* . Lots of hate on the scoring system for fsd beta entry. We should know what the score for entry is and the statistics that will weigh heaviest. That said we paid for production FSD. This is beta and beta of any software has restrictions of use and specific use cases for it s testing. Yes we paid 5-10k depending for it. It will get widely released. You re free to drive the car how you want but participation in a beta where all regulatory eyes on them needs to have restrictions of whose going to be responsible enough to TEST report this product. How many videos are there on YouTube tictok Instagram etc of idiots sleeping while driving on the highway? If you want fsd to never come to fruition having an open non regulated beta is how that happens We need to keep in mind these are very heavy very fast killing machines. Don t take the responsibility lightly of monitoring them to not murder some kid playing in the street. This is my opinion and I m not hating at all but If the driver can t handle a week of cautious driving then they can t handle that responsibility. In the past month we ve seen more ticktok morons driving outside of the seat 2 diff occurances of drunk drivers and more 16-22 year old greenhorn drivers in teslas. Doing something Tesla hasn t really done in the past (be cautious) is the best move Tesla could have made to widely release a very much beta software. I m prepared to be downvoted to hell but even if I m not picked for the beta I m happy that Tesla is being careful and it s one less thing the press and regulators can say to give Tesla a bad name.

I don t think your opinion is unpopular at all I completely agree with you and the others here that have made points about safety and the responsibility of operating a vehicle AND supervising FSD strongly to keep ourselves and others safe while creating a strong neural net for the future.

My issue is it sets a very bad precedent and our liberties is being eroded at a very rapid rate. To your beta point the wipers are in beta anything can be called beta. Next we re going to get DLC. Fast forward a few years and Tesla s software updates will no doubt be monetized. Now that you ve opted in what happens when they start selling your data to your insurance company? All these corporations do not have your interests in mind. As cynical as it sounds I never let myself forget that.

Safety Score only shows for the primary owner s account If you still can t see your Safety Score in the app... Husband and I pushed the button yesterday took several trips upgraded the app to 4.1 via APK Mirror logged out and logged in tried it on an iOS device etc but still couldn t see our Safety Score. Then I found [this post on Tesla Motors Club](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads safety-score-not-showing-up-in-app-it-could-be-this.241495 ) that solved it - we hadn t logged in with the primary owner s account on the 4.1 app. Logged out and logged back in with the primary account on Android still didn t see it but then cleared the app cache and force-quit it. Upon re-opening it was finally there.

PREFER Highways I m throwing this out into the void in the hopes that it gets some traction. I d love to see an option in the navigation menu to prefer highways. I find that my Tesla will often choose a winding road with lots of turns and intersections because it s technically 2 minutes faster or just a tiny bit shorter of a drive. Most days I d rather just get up on the highway kick on autopilot and let that car take it from there while still paying attention of course. I ve gone back to using my phone to find the route to the highway and then kicking on Tesla s navigation once I m there just to make it an easier drive. I d love to eliminate that extra step.
I would like to add that maybe navigation would give you the 3 best routes to choose from. Like most map programs.
You can set it to adjust the route based on X time gained.

The wait is over tens of thousands of Model 3 and Y get their first update today! For more than two months the vast majority of new Model 3 and Model Y cars have gotten no updates (I literally mean none these cars had factory firmware). Some of the earliest ones from this group passed the 70 day mark on factory firmware. Around 3:30 EST today the update finally came and we all got 2021.32.21 22! The IC shortage micro-controller cars have merged with the main branch! That s everyone with 2021.3.104 105 106.x 107 2021.11.101 102.x 103 etc with deliveries from mid July to present. Even the prior wave of cars that had been on 2021.4.21.x for a while are getting it. While the beta button rollout a few days ago was much larger in scale this was no drop in the bucket. We also look forward to getting our beta buttons soon! EDIT: ~~The button is in 32.22 not the one we re getting. We re still looking forward to that one but the islanding is over. Not sure if any vision-only cars have the button yet.~~ Edit to the Edit apparently 32.21 does have the button? I don t know I don t have FSD. EDIT 2: I listed the software and date ranges guys. Cars delivered before this period were not affected by any kind of delay and cars delivered very recently with newere 2021.11.x versions will probably get included in a few days.
Vision-only model 3 updated beta button pushed.
I noticed that seemed to be one of the fasted rollouts I ve been apart of. I never get updates quickly and I got .22 2 hours in. (Note I m only 1 year Tesla owner. So my bar is pretty low)

Camp mode unlocks the car and keeps it unlocked disables the car alarm and keeps inside AC and screen active for any use. Dog mode just keeps AC on and screen locked on got message so people know the animal is ok.

The screen dog mode keeps graphic on screen entire time. Camp mode it goes away after a while and not bright blinding white. I think also sentry mode is turned off on dog mode (idk why) but with camp mode can keep it on. Past that I believed they re roughly same. One being for people the other for pups.

Why is Tesla so quiet on the Model X Delays? Refreshed Model X was supposed to follow the Refresh S earlier this year (February for S and March for X). The Plaid and LR Model S s have been shipping for a while now yet there s been zero new Model X s produced. Musk has refused to answer direct questions on this and wondering if anyone has input on the delays. Surely it s can be a chip shortage since it most of the electronics from the model S. Was planning on trading my Model S for an X and worried that the original timeline keeps moving forwards months at a time! &amp #x200B Thanks

I m at a service center today and asked a sales rep about the X. He said it was looking like Dec or Jan for deliveries. [Always keep in mind SRs don t necessarily know more than people on Reddit. But it s an additional data point for our wild speculation.]

Spent A Total Of $120 After Driving My 2018 Model 3 LR RWD For The First 50 000 Miles \\-My house is on Tesla solar which covers 105% of my monthly needs including charging the car. \\-I spent 70 dollars on cabin filters cleaning foam \\-I spent 50 dollars on supercharging \\-Never rotated my tires never had an alignment(both over due)..probably not the safest but whatever \\-had a few service trips to Tesla service which was all covered under warranty. This included the controller arm needing oil which led to a squeak at 49k miles and a new charging door cover at 40k miles I just spent 700 dollars changing out 4 tires +alignment (Barum brand from discounttire) at 50 200 miles
I mean yeah if you neglect to do the one thing that you still have to do (take care of your tires) of course it s going to cost you nothing.
Reading the title I thought you splurged on something nice after you hit the 50k mark 😏

Do you guys think the police should replace their vehicles for electric motors? I wondered about this because the engine is much quieter and could be used for a wide array of situations with just that perk with electric cars for law enforcement
Absolutely especially while cars are idle. Far less wear and tear and can supercharge between shifts.
The Model S Plaid would be a hell of a police car. Especially if they put special bumpers on it for pit maneuvers. Try to outrun that thing lol.

When people ask how long it takes to charge the battery… I ve started to dread receiving this question because it takes so long to answer. What do you guys say? Anybody get it down to under 5 minutes? Lol
I say it s nice waking up to a full charge every morning instead of having to drive to the gas station to fill up.
My answer is 2 hours. While I m sleeping. People often think that filling up their ICE cars takes only 5 minutes. But it doesn t. How long is the drive to the gas station and from the gas station? I m in bed dreaming while I fill up .

The hype is real. I recently drove my friend s new Model 3 Performance and holy shit the acceleration in that car. I always knew the performance of these higher-end Teslas were ridiculous but it wasn t until I felt it for myself that I realized just how fucking quick these things actually are. It s honestly almost violent how fast it accelerated from a stop. I can see why Tesla spends so little on advertising (do they even advertise?) as the cars simply just speak for themselves. I can only imagine how launching a Model S Plaid would feel. I still love German performance cars but this thing… this thing is something else. The hype is real.
The test drive is always the first mistake
I d love to see a hot hatch Tesla with somewhat higher ground clearance and automated wheel camber adjustment. Like you could drop it into a sport mode for extra handling or keep it a little loose for bumpy off-roading. Manual driving controls so you can still access them while bouncing around. That would be a mind blowing upgrade for me.

What features do you miss on a specific Tesla model (or all Teslas in general)? Are there specific functions and features that other cars have that you miss on Teslas? I miss: * HUD * A second dedicated drivers display for model 3 Y *  CarPlay Android Auto * (Seats with better adjustable head rests more up down and Back forth - in the 2019 Model S it squeezed my neck lower back) * washer for the rear camera These are the things that I miss and yes some of them are unnessecary but I still miss them. Do you miss something from other cars?
Blind spot indicator shocked they don t have this on the GUI. They could make the camera angle to show a bit more behind you or turn the lane lines red like it does if you have fsd on. Cross traffic indicators when you are backing out of a parking space.

Not having CarPlay was the biggest impediment for my friend when considering a 3. For me I miss a rear wiper but do appreciate the exterior look without it. I agree with the above comment about a hud. I didn t like the S steering column display when I had a loaner but my last two MINis had a glass that slotted up and displayed the data softly in front of the windshield. I d love to see it projected to the windshield itself. Two features I like in the S that I d prefer in my Y are a central display that can show more elective data and an operable sun roof (unless I m misremembering it having that.) however again I appreciate design choices that precluded them like the cleaner floating display in the 3 Y and the full glazing of the Y roof. So… I wish the tail had an operable window like my 4Runner just for my dog s experience tho! My list is pretty short!

White exterior low maintenance comes with all accessories and Full Self Driving both highway and city roads. She s yours for $50K or best offer. Meanwhile I need to work on my score.
50k for a real life forever friend seems like a great deal to me. Can I schedule a test drive to make sure she handles well before I commit?

Pictures would help. Make sure to include some of the undercarriage.

Awesome! This post is so controversial it just earned me an invitation to a Reddit Controversial Club. I didn t even realize this was a thing but I just received [this message](https: i.imgur.com 2VQSDLn.jpg). Jokes are hard. lol 😂

My wife really wants a Tesla. She recently changed jobs and is making a considerable amount more money and is really wanting a Tesla. She s not overly picky except that she wants a long range variant. I m kinda pushing for the Y. What are say 5-10 things that a first time Tesla or any fully electric vehicle for that matter owner should know so it s not a complete shock to the senses moving from a regular car?
My wife and I went through almost the same thing. I just asked her about the first time we drove it and here s what she told me: **1: ELECTRIC MOTOR TORQUE:** So this is something that has been discussed ad nauseum but there s something that s not often mentioned. Sure you can launch the car and do the 0-60 insanity but there s more. You ll really have to get used to the control and precision you have when doing 60+mph and having the ability to instantly lane change and get to where you need to be. It s very easy to get to 100mph without even thinking of it. When you do this for a while and go back to an ICE car you will probably get yourself into trouble because you will think that level of power is there but it won t be. **2: REGENERATIVE BRAKING:** Despite the fact you can slightly modify it the Tesla s regenerative braking is harsh regardless of setting. In a normal ICE car you can take your foot off the accelerator and coast before you stop. That s way way more severe in the Tesla and you ll really need to get used to it. Both of us agree that at first doing the Hold mode with one-pedal driving will be really awkward but once you get the hang of it you ll love it. Watch out for this. It takes some time to get used to. **3: NO PHYSICAL BUTTONS**: This is something we both agree on and still is kind of a pain in the ass. Any controls you want to modify are on the touch screen hidden behind menus. It s OK from the passenger side but more often than not if you want to do something you re really reaching out and fiddling while driving. It s extremely distracting in some cases and if you suffer from fat finger syndrome it will take quite a bit of muscle memory to get used to it. Another thing you re going to do is constantly push the right driving stalk for either turn signals or wipers. That stalk is your gear selector so get ready for a lot of warnings. *Fun fact: A lot (but not all) controls can be modified by using the voice command feature when you push the right button on the steering wheel. It s easy to forget it s not there but give it a shot. When it works it works really well.* **4: SUPERCHARGING:** The biggest thing that we were initially concerned about was going from 2-4 minutes to full up an ICE car to \\~20-30 mins for the Tesla when on a longer trip. This sounds crazy at first but it s really not bad at all and with the features the car has it s actually a really cool thing despite adding time to your journey. There are tons of superchargers all over the place so with the exception of really remote areas range anxiety really isn t that much of a thing these days. **5: ROOMINESS:** The Model 3 is good but the Model Y is kind of astonishing in how much space it has. It s really tall yes but between the frunk trunk and the cubby s - there is a TON of room. Way more than you might think. You ve probably seen a bunch of videos with people camping in the back of the car. This is legit and pretty awesome especially with the glass roof. **6: WINDSHIELD WIPERS:** OK a few things here. If you live in a place that often has inclement weather you re going to have to get used to this. Tesla s are really designed to keep the wipers on Auto for everything. Manually triggering them is done by pushing the button embedded in the left stalk. It s not obvious. The wiper fluid sprayers are also not placed on the hood frunk but actually embedded in the wipers themselves. It s pretty cool but YMMV in terms of how effective they are depending on where you live. **7: DOG MODE:** Got pets? Dog mode is awesome. It really works and is a really nice touch. **8: AUTOPILOT FSD:** OK I m not going to spend too much time here because you ll find a ton of info and opinions elsewhere but Autopilot works really well but get ready to be totally freaked out when you engage any form of self-driving especially at speed. If you re not used to it letting go of control and watching (and feeling) the car drive change lanes etc... by itself really takes some getting used to. Finally don t just rely on the Tesla test drive. Go to a car share app and rent a vehicle for 2-3 days to really get used to it. We did and literally placed the order for a MY the day we returned it. Have fun!
Couple I know bought two. They love them. I got a used Leaf. I was also anxious about changing. I loved that Leaf! You will notice zippier acceleration. You will wave and chuckle passing stinky polluting gas stations. As long as you can charge at home you will love it.

I swear you all had me worried about service... So my month old Model 3 had an issue where the front-right camera went black which disables autopilot. After reading all the negative service experiences I went into the app and scheduled service with some real dread. Day before rolls around and I get a text from Tesla in the app with the gist of hey we know you are all busy. If it s easier for you just drop the car off ahead of time in our 24x7 lot there s a drop box out front. Take the envelope write your 6 digit VIN on it and we ll get to work on your car ASAP! So I show up at 10pm the night before drop the car off pop the key in the drop box. My 8am appointment time rolls around and I get a text at 8:01am got your car working on it now! and an hour later your car is ready to pick up! I show up later in the day my car is parked in the lot where I left it key card in the frunk. I walk up get in test the camera go into the app and confirm the repair sign the zero dollar invoice and drive home. Never saw or talked to anyone outside the app. Honestly I don t know if it could have been any smoother or easier? Oh and they gave me $500 in Uber credits to use while the car was dropped off!
Not all experiences are bad just people who have had a bad one are more likely to write a thread about it. Kudos to you for showing the good side.
My service experience has also been smooth. I assume the majority of experiences are positive but people are more likely to post on the internet when the service is bad.

$500 Uber credits for one day? Crazy! My service center gave me $100 of credits for one day that was 20 miles from the city center.
I ve similarly had nothing but good experiences with Tesla SC s and mobile service. Super quick and easy.

Feature Request Megathread Hey Everyone! If you could try to format feature requests by model if needed with a small description and scenario. Also while trying to keep it realistic within the software realm and currently known hardware realm. These will post every 2 weeks.
When a turn signal is activated turn on respective side camera. This should come standard.
Headlights should turn on when the wipers turn on.

Model S. I use the right steering wheel control for temperature. Whenever I get a call I usually use that same button to hang up but if the person hangs up just before me I push that button and end up turning the climate control completely off. Perhaps a slight delay with the HUD menu showing call ended where the button will not respond during that delay? Keep the home link button showing while the backup camera is on and close to home or just make the home link accessible from the backup camera window. Sometimes if you click the screen before backing up the home link menu goes away and is not available until you completely exit the rear camera screen. Bring up the phone application when you make or receive a call. Sometimes I am on a call that requires pressing the keypad. This requires me to bring up the phone menu which is 3 clicks away. Not a huge deal but definitely a slight distraction while driving.

This is a small one but fix the overlay issue on daytime maps. If I m driving some where and the town or neighborhood is at the top it can make the top text bar unreadable. Plenty of options to make this less ugly and more reasonable.

2021.36.x spotted Just saw [this post](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads 2021-36-x.241352 #post-5976190) over on the Tesla Motors Club forums. This is the first mention I have seen of anyone receiving 2021.36.x firmware versions. Looks like it adds * Yoke Behavior Changes * Cold Weather Improvements * Language Support * Bioweapon Defense Mode It *should* also add the capability to adjust charge current scheduled departure scheduled charging and bioweapon defense mode from the app (per the iOS app 4.1 release notes). Note that this appears to be a Model S Plaid based on the user s signature and the mention of the yoke. edit: [release notes picture](https: i.imgur.com gcxhE17.png) edit 2: credit to Atomadam on TMC forums edit 3: [here s another TMC post](https: teslamotorsclub.com tmc threads refreshed-ms-lr-plaid-firmware-status.237302 page-15#post-5975905) with more detailed screenshots of each feature credit of Spyderman09 edit 4: looks like it s starting to show up on [TeslaFi](https: teslafi.com firmware)

I really hope they bring those turn signal changes to the rest of the fleet I think it d be useful if it automatically turned off after a lane change or merge. I shouldn t need a yoke to have that feature. I always thought 3 blinks on the momentary switch was too few and this sort of solves that problem. I still think they should let you customize the amount of blinks but I d take this update in my M3 and be happy with it!

Has anyone purchased from Carvana and had FSD come on the car? I ve heard good things about Carvana but none of the specs are Tesla specific on their used cars.
We got a used Tesla M3 recently from a Kia Dealership. They thought it was a Model 3 Long Range. Turns out it was a performance with the FSD on it. They had no idea. I think many car dealers don t quite understand the difference between autopilot and full self driving or they don t acknowledge the FSD feature yet since it isn t technically a public feature on the cars as of right now. Not saying Carvana or other used car sites are bad or anything just sometimes whoever gets to post the listing of a Tesla may not understand what car they have and what features it may contain. So as another individual commented the best thing to do is see if you can view the screen where the info is displayed. Definitely don t trust the site to know what they are saying and don t trust the badging on the outside of the car either. It s not unknown for people to mess with the badging.
FSD is tied to the car so if previous owner bought it it will be included. Best bet is to get in it and look at the info screen

Oftentimes in Carvana they will post screenshots of the info screen in the car that will show Autopilot FSD under Included Package . That s how I confirmed standard autopilot was included before my purchase.

I bought my model 3 from carmax and it ended up coming with far more than advertised and I got lucky. The car had a full body clear wrap a custom front bumper from unplugged performance and enhanced autopilot. It s a dual motor long range 2018 with 3 000 miles and I ended up paying $41 000 for it so it was a steal! https: i.imgur.com vCAXhRq.jpg
I wouldn t trust carvana or any online advertisement that sells a Tesla and claims it has FSD. Most of the time the people responsible for putting these ads online don t know a damn thing Teslas. I have personally seen a carvana ad claiming a preowned Tesla model 3 was a long range but in the description it clearly said RWD. Because of the way it was priced I knew it couldn t really be a LR. Ive seen other ads that claim it has FSD but don t actually confirm this by showing pictures of the menu screen to confirm its not just the standard autopilot. Unless you can see the car in person I wouldn t assume anything because dealers lie and some just don t know any better.

Flowcharts for Safety Score Beta and notes on improving Safety Score I ve created a few flowcharts (below) to distill the information provided in the Safety Score [FAQ](https: www.tesla.com support safety-score) page to help understand when and where a driving event is counted for or against the Safety Score. A few notes on how to improve your score based on these diagrams and my own personal experience: * **Forward collision warning:** All miles traveled (including on autopilot) are counted in the denominator. However FCW events occurring while on autopilot do NOT count. I can personally verify this because I had an FCW event a few days ago while on autopilot (someone cut me off) that did not show up in my Safety Score. Like the FAQ mentions its best to keep a safe distance to minimize the frequency of FCW events. * **Hard braking:** Note that autopilot braking events are not counted in this metric so it means that it s best to manually brake for traffic lights slow traffic. I ve been using an accelerometer app on my phone to better understand what it physically feels like to be slowing down at different rates. The goal is to stay in the sweet spot between 0.1 g and 0.3 g for as long as possible. It is possible to game the system by periodically slowing down while cruising along the highway but this is considered a dick move in bird culture (especially if cars are behind you) so please don t do that. * **Aggresive turning:** This has a similar flow chart as for hard braking. Again I ve been using an accelerometer app to get a feel for cornering G forces. I ve been able to use that information to calibrate how quickly I should take certain turns that I regularly encounter on my daily commute (most notably curved highway on off ramps). The goal is to stay in the sweet spot between 0.2 g and 0.4 g for as long as possible. * **Unsafe following:** Again note that autopilot following distances DO NOT COUNT. It doesn t matter what following distance you set for your autopilot. I ve seen some folks set their following distances all the way to 7 after Safety Score got introduced. Just keep it where you normally would because it doesn t matter anyways. During manual driving the goal is to stay in the sweet spot between 1 second and 3 seconds of headway for as long as possible. To game the system I ve been driving manually and following cars at a safe distance on certain stretches of highway where I would normally be using autopilot so that I can boost the denominator as much as possible. To avoid an excessive amount of cars merging changing lanes that result in unsafe following distances it s advisable to drive on the inner lanes as much as possible. That said I often get dinged for unsafe following when merging into a highway via on-ramp or when I need to change into lanes with a lot of cars. If you have EAP FSD like I do then theoretically you can avoid these situations by using the automatic lane change functionality but I personally think that the auto lane change algorithm is overly cautious and buggy in heavy traffic and would cause me to miss my exit more than half the time. * **Forced autopilot disengagements:** This one is pretty obvious so there s not much to say here. Just pay attention while on autopilot. [Flowcharts for forward collision warning and hard braking metrics](https: preview.redd.it s18fm2hyo2s71.png?width=1017&amp format=png&amp auto=webp&amp s=c791e0d643c9d3f846f92a32f64a4fd5fb5434fb) &amp #x200B [Flowcharts for aggressive turning and unsafe following metrics](https: preview.redd.it 2v0mp8uf83s71.png?width=756&amp format=png&amp auto=webp&amp s=5bf964d6d1ec282608a44cdd83d7d58dfa001ef6)
So today I m going 80 on autopilot and see traffic stopped ahead. I know that autopilot will not stop with enough advance distance so I disengage and brake at a rate required to come to the new flow of traffic ~20mph. Get dinged hard for aggressive braking. Same when a light turns yellow in the city right at the point where I know I can t go through the intersection before it turns red. So far my experience is that if I touch the brake peddle at all then I will get dinged. It s a terrible metric as none have been “aggressive” braking.
With 0.1-0.3 g as the recommended target to help with Hard Braking do you recommend ‘Low or ‘Standard Regenerative Breaking? Thanks!

AFAIK for Hard Braking and Aggressive Turning there is some sort of minimum speed that it applies to (I believe it s over 17 or 18mph or something like that?). It is really easy in a parking lot maneuver to exceed 0.3g s but I ve yet to be dinged for any of them.

Wholesome moment at a Supercharger last night Last night I was Supercharging in Burbank CA when a Model 3 came up and pulled into an adjacent parking spot head-first. After a bit of confusion and bewilderment I noticed the driver (a slightly elderly woman) get out of the car and try to figure things out. I said: You have to back in to charge here the port is on the back side of the car Woman: It won t reach? I can t back in don t know how. Me: Yeah it s not going to reach. Woman: Would you do it for me? Me: Sure! I got out of my car and squished myself in (the seat was set *very* far forward) and inside she was with another slightly elderly woman in the passenger seat and their small dog. I proceeded to turn it around and back in to the spot showing her the guide lines on the camera display and how easy and smooth it is to line them up when backing in unlike other cars. Then there was some kerfuffle with the passenger trying to open the charge port with the screen (I assume this was the only way she knew how to open it) while the driver was outside pushing on the port to open it. After a bit of back and forth I told the passenger: Don t worry she s got it! You can open it by pushing on the door itself. And then showed how to just grab the cable plug it in and watch the LED + screen messages to confirm charging. They mentioned they got the car 4 days ago and were driving down home to San Diego. I told them that most Superchargers require you to back in but there are a select few that have pull-in charger locations where they re either at the end of the parking spot or on a piece of land concrete that wraps around the side of the parking spaces. #TL DR I helped a slightly elderly woman back her brand new Model 3 into a spot to Supercharge and taught some basics of ownership charging. Pretty wholesome moment!
Hope you scored a Werther s Original for your trouble.
I taught this dude at a SuC how to close the frunk. He was just slamming it down like an ice hood. He had just picked the car up. Told him to actually read the manual or watch the tons of YouTube videos.

kudos to you! amazed at how little tesla does for the folks that are less familiar with these cars at delivery. a couple next to me in kisco NY at my delivery had such little clue how to do anything that my friend went and asked a tech to do the right thing and take the time to give them a run down
