uhfkdv | 27 | 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. | Official Tesla supercharger queuing system When it is detected that super chargers are full like it does now in order to tell you there s a wait. Activate Queue mode In queue mode when you approach the super charger station (0.5 mi away?) you are prompted in the car that this super charger currently has a queue and given a button to join the queue. When it is your turn you get a notification in the car and on the app telling you which charger number to use. You have 5 min to start charging or you lose your slot. If someone else tries to charge there when it is your turn they can t charge. If you drive away you are automatically dequeued. You can manually dequeue. Once the queue is complete and there are free chargers deactivate queue mode. Super chargers operate normally when not fully booked (you drive up and plug in) | Better WiFi LTE handoff. I ve learned to never fiddle with streaming music while I m in my driveway — I either need to do that in the garage or after I ve driven away from the house a bit further. A minor annoyance but something that regularly affects me. | 63 | 2 | 9,606 |

Car should turn a better 60ft than 1.7s add some functionality to track mode even if it self limits based on heat. Crazy you can squeeze better times out of the car by airing the tires up to 45+psi at the drag strip to decrease rolling resistance with zero chance of tire spin. Screw FSD I can drive. Need more performance without yanking parts off the car. 11.0-11.2 1 4s should be easy. | 63 | 3 | 9,607 |
ui9wws | 38 | Anyone have luck Rodent proofing their Teslas? I am on Wire harness #3 ruined by squirrels... Wire harness 1 and 2 were killed with in 8 weeks of each other and this one died 4 months later... I ve tried sprays and other things.. but wondering if others have found ways that actually protect their Model 3s or Ys from hungry rodents...

Maybe an outdoor dog cat or a [pet hawk](https: factsking.com animal-facts predators-of-squirrels )? We need sentry mode to detect animals and make noise. | 45 | 3 | 9,608 |

uig01r | 95 | 12v Replacement I m right at the two year mark (model 3) and I have read a lot of horror stories in regard to the 12v battery especially around this milestone. I know it s hit or miss on the low battery warning vs just walking outside to a “dead” car. I figured I would go ahead and be proactive and have the 12v battery replaced. Scheduled mobile service and got the estimated price. To my shock they covered it under the limited warranty. Just wanted to pass on the news and may be something to consider for those still in warranty. | I m 4 years in and 60k miles... original 12v battery | I ve heard of people carrying a spare one with them in case it dies. It s an easy swap if it does so if you re up for it that that s an option too. | 74 | 3 | 9,611 |

Mobile service replaced it under warranty in about 15 minutes two days later. They must have remote diagnosed some problem in yours for them to warranty it. | 74 | 28 | 9,612 |
ul3xog | 501 | Feature suggestions: push notification at right before bedtime for “your car is at home but not plugged in”. I did it again yesterday. Busy unloading the car and forgot to plug it in so it could charge overnight. It occurred to me how easy it should be for the app to notify me at a selected time say 8pm that my car is at home but not plugged in. And have a toggle switch to turn it off for people who do not find this useful. Someone who has a twitter should tweet this at Elon haha. | TeslaFi (and friends) can do that. The advantage of an API is that there are many different apps services that can better support the needs of everyone. Better than adding every single feature to the one app. It would look like the iPhone settings... Because some only want it to notify on some days when the battery has less than certain percentage notify be email sms not just phone notifications.etc. It s a whole configuration screen not just a single toggle. I get an email at 9pm if not plugged in. | Yes I would love that!! | 90 | 2 | 9,613 |

ul51ii | 276 | It s been two years. Why are we still confirming green lights? It s unsafe. Car starts slowing down immediately for a green which can be a problem if behind you not paying attention. I understood it at first because Tesla said they needed confirmations to help train the system but it s been two years!! | Because it still use the old AP code instead of FSD Beta. | Absolutely agree. I ve never seen it mistake a red light for green. If it were to go through on a red light I d be paying attention like always and stop it. God knows it screws up enough in other situations and I have to save it s bacon. | 191 | 2 | 9,616 |

ul83ew | 36 | Model Y Long Range vs Performance I am intent on buying a Tesla and visited a dealership to test drive and Model Y. I was convinced I wanted the performance version however the Tesla rep really pushed the long range. The argument was the performance model is for the track and is not a good fit for daily driving. Anyone with a performance model want to share their experience? Should I stick to the LR version? The 21” pro wheel looks very slick. No doubt I need to buy some all season tires any other considerations? | The performance version is fine for being on the road but the salesperson isn t wrong. The huge beautiful rims are also easy to curb and transmit more road imperfections into the cabin. You also lose about 10% range which can matter too. But OTOH the Performance models are prioritized for delivery have matrix LED headlights etc. I would say if you re used to big rims sporty cars you probably are well prepared for the P models. The problem is a lot of buyers come from large Lexus SUVs that are like floating on a pool toy in a cruise ship and feel very unsatisfied with the ride and act surprised that they can ruin a set of tires by driving into a pothole at 50mph. And if that s you there s almost nothing you can do to “undo” the decision to get a perf model. The bigger brakes don t even fit with any of the OEM smaller rims. | Up to you for me at the time I wanted all the upgrades that came with the performance and at the time the gap was 7k and no wait time for the performance. | 79 | 3 | 9,619 |
ulaenv | 111 | The #!!!*#%^!!! beta Intermittent Wiper Feature I live in one of the wettest places on earth where we get over 300 inches of rain a year. I have tried - I really honestly have tried to get used to the beta auto windshield wiper feature on my Model S and I have finally just turned it off and kept it that way. I read someplace awhile ago that it was supposed to be self-adjusting and self-compensating via the neural net but I ve arrived at the conclusion that it s more Elon-speak for vaporware . When I activated it the wipers turned on when there were just 3 or 4 drops of water on the windshield and it would cycle about one wiper pass every 2 or 3 seconds but even encountering light mist they would suddenly go from an occasional wipe to full tilt hurricane drenching speed and stayed that way. Frankly I m surprised that one of the enterprising young Turks out there specializing in hacking into everything electronic hasn t come up with a mod that eliminates that useless beta and replaces it with an on-screen slider that allows the driver to select his or her own appropriate windshield wiper speed. It s obvious by now that Tesla won t do anything about this the only thing about the car that I *really don t like* because it is **completely useless**. **TESLA**: either fix the algorithm that sees rain density on the video cameras or drop the beta feature altogether - it s an embarrassment for an otherwise amazingly well-designed product. | Hate them as hell auto wiper is shitty in every way especially with small droplets and on the night I use it manually for 3 years now | Auto wipers work “ok” for me most of the time but there are times where it s so bad that I need to quickly adjust speed myself. As a solution I ve picked up the buttons that allow me to cycle through wiper speeds at .5 increments and mounted one on the back of the steering wheel. There are a bunch of other customizable functions you can set but they are pretty pricey for what they are. Overall I m really happy with this solution though. https: abstractocean.com products s3xy-buttons | 50 | 5 | 9,620 |

Must be true as they haven t done enough testing of this feature. But it does seems like it could be improved with an algorithmic update. It senses the rain and intermittently wipes but it is usually afraid to kick into constant-wipe mode. It will frequently will get to the point where it pauses for about 1 second but at that point it should just go into constant-wiping mode. | 45 | 2 | 9,621 |

ulbcwj | 32 | Tesla App could be getting some new features soon. Hello I have been playing around the different Tesla API endpoints and discovered one for users app config . It gave me some interresting data I though I d share. It is about the different app pages from the mobile app. This is just speculation from the somewhat cryptic names but some are easy to make out. List of discoveries: * Shop Giftcards * Redemption? * Vehicle Configurator * Shop Burst Mode * Shop Locale Selector * Help option? * svCurrLocOptimize? (No guess here..) * otMobileApp? * Auto Pay Consent feature? * Insurance Quotes (related to Tesla Insurance) * isFulfillmentCNEnabled (Maybe Tesla Insurance aswell?) * Bidding in the Shop? * Shopping Cart Link to PDP? * BML? * BML Security? * Tab Management Re-arranging the different tabs like Climate and Controls in-App & #x200B API Responses in order of the list { enabled : false name : shopGiftCard } { enabled : false name : isRedemptionEnabled } { enabled : false name : vehicleConfigurator } { enabled : false name : shopBurstMode } { enabled : false name : shopLocaleSelector } { enabled : false name : help } { enabled : false name : svCurrLocOptimize } { enabled : false name : otMobileApp } { enabled : false name : enableFinalAutoPayConsentCaptive } { enabled : false name : enableInsuranceQuote } { enabled : false name : isFulfillmentCNEnabled } { enabled : false name : isShopBiddingFlowEnabled } { enabled : false name : isShopCartLinkToPdpEnabled } { enabled : false name : bml } { enabled : false name : bmlSecurity } { enabled : false name : manageTabs } | I just want it to wake my car instead of the endless spinning wheel of death | - svCurrLocOptimize This is probably something related to changing your preferred language so the app UI matches the car UI. | 32 | 3 | 9,623 |
ulslf5 | 303 | Why is there no speed indicator on in dashcam footage? Wouldn t this be a helpful proof after an accident? | Indicating the speed can only harm your case. In some jurisdictions being over the speed limit yourself makes you partially at fault. If it s not in the video there is a presumption that you are driving a legal speed and you have to make an extra effort to deduce your actual speed. | I m not sure either because the car most definitely would have the data. Also saw someone else post something like this previously also stating that they should provide your location in the recording too along with speed! | 365 | 4 | 9,624 |

un9efg | 34 | Suggestion-- Tesla install sensor to detect cut charging cables and enable status updates . I would like as a user driver to see the status of tesla charging stations to include if they have cables connectors that are cut or damaged to the point of danger non operationality. | They would already have this. The handles have temperature sensors so if that sensor stops responding the station would know there is an issue. | If they do end up implementing this and don t end up removing the cables altogether I hope this kind of data would also be used to alert guards when more than one cable fails in a short period. | 30 | 3 | 9,627 |

upylq8 | 956 | Did I just win the lottery? Okay so a little background. I have been following tesla for a few years now and after a few long weeks of consideration I finally pulled the trigger on a model 3.

Mind you I had gotten a base model with a different exterior color so it wasn t anything out of the ordinary. My estimated delivery window goes from **August - October** to **May 25th - May 28th!** I thought there s no way it has to get pushed back. So I call them and wait for over an hour on hold just to speak to someone and he said Yeah I ve never seen that happen your not getting it that early...

uqeh9h | 22 | Is the WiFi implementation boggy on purpose? So my 4 year premium connectivity trial ended. Decided not to buy it because I could connect the car to my iPhone subscription. But the pairing is a pain. Car not finding my hotspot. Once connected dropping the connection at random moments. And shutting down WiFi every time you go from park to drive… why? What am I missing here? Almost looks like the WiFi implementation is done bad on purpose to force us to get the premium connectivity. Edit: turned out to be an iPhone issue.

ur8q5t | 162 | Put on a set just released Goodyear ElectricDrive GT tires on Model Y A few months ago GoodYear announced a new tire designed for the Y. Press Release below. Well they released them a few weeks ago and as I had 25k miles I had used up the OEM tires. (19 inch wheels) First impressions: The tire has foam on the inside. I noticed that it was far more quiet on the ride home. The ride was a bit hard I ve found that s always been the case with the Y this was a noticeable. My understanding is the tire is designed with the torque of the Y in mind so I suspect the sidewalls are stiffer than the OEM. They may soften a bit as I ve driven them 25 miles.

I did a scrape of the Model 3 docs after signing up but I m sure you can use it for other models with a slight tweak. The code is on GitHub: [https: github.com AnsonLai TeslaServiceManualScraper](https: github.com AnsonLai TeslaServiceManualScraper) It s 2.2GB in total took about a half-hour to download the whole thing. About 1000 HTML files and 8000 images. I did a quick google search it doesn t seem like anyone else has this yet so I thought this community would appreciate it. | I don t know whether it s against the ToS but couldn t someone just upload the whole scraped sites as compressed 7z or so?

uwwy3u | 26 | Trying to decide between a new Model S Long Range and a new Model 3 Performance I realize this is a bit apples to oranges but my current Model 3 Performance is leased (hindsight is 20 20) and will be up in September of this year. I want to get my order in for my next car and am having a really hard time deciding between the Model S and another Model 3 Performance. Since I can t test drive a Model S and Turo is INSANELY expensive for a single day I thought I d ask for some advice here. For those who have had the opportunity to drive both how does the Model S compare to the Model 3 Performance in terms of handling? is the steering wheel a total nuisance? Does the Model S handle like a boat compared to the 3? Does it have more or less body roll? Things like that. Hoping to get an order in this week or next. Doing my best to convince myself I don t need the Plaid. Edit: Autocorrect typo. Also edit: Anybody in the Los Angeles area who s willing to trade a coffee for a quick spin in a new Model S? | I went from a 3P to an S LR and the S LR is much quicker feeling but also isn t as nimble in corners.

ux9rgo | 71 | How much does it cost to charge your car? Since purchasing a Tesla 3 about 4 yrs ago the #1 question I get consistently asked is how much does it cost to charge your car? It was fun in the beginning to explain gas vs. electricity is like comparing apples to oranges.

I explain that I was paying $0.07 km (or $7 100km) for my Honda Jazz s fuel and I m paying about $0.04 km (or $4 100km) for my Model 3 s electricity. The two cars have similar cargo capacity (Model 3 has slightly more volume Jazz has greater utility) Model 3 is just a nicer car to drive.

uyyxwe | 1,656 | My license is getting indefinitely suspended because of Tesla and their customer service doesn t care I leased a Model 3 and absolutely loved the car. I think Tesla is doing great things and I own many shares of Tesla stock which I m planning on holding on to for a while. However I need to get this out of my system and share my recent experience with others here. It s important for these things to be made aware of and addressed. Here was my experience with returning my lease: - I called customer service to schedule my lease return since the website wasn t allowing me to for some reason. I m guessing it was a bug. - I got the early lease return approved but Tesla told me I couldn t actually return it until they scheduled an appointment for me to do so and that would have to be done through email. - Tesla s team was so slow at responding to emails that the early return approval was expired by the time the appointment was scheduled so I had to get it approved again. - It was also so long that it went into my next payment month so I had to pay another month just because of Tesla taking so long to respond to emails. - Customer service gave me mixed stories about which location I could return it to. In the end after speaking to several different people they said the nearest location they could accept it at was a 6 hour drive into my neighboring state. - When I returned the car the Tesla guy told me he would be surrendering my license plates and I wouldn t have to do anything else. - I called Tesla and said I didn t think I should have to pay the last month s payment just because they took weeks to respond to my email for scheduling an appointment. The rep repeatedly said I would still have to pay then eventually said she d talk to her supervisor and ask. She then emailed me and confirmed I would still have to pay it. - A month later I get a letter from the DMV telling me I need to surrender my plates or else they will revoke my driver s license. - I call Tesla and the customer service person says they are going to give my information to someone that deals with that kind of stuff directly and rest assured they would take care of this. - A month later (yesterday) I receive a DMV letter saying they are going to indefinitely suspend my license very soon because I failed to surrender my plates. - I call Tesla and the customer service guy shows zero interest in looking into this. It was the laziest most infuriating call I ve had with a customer service agent. He told me it was my problem and I should talk to the DMV myself. After I repeatedly told him Tesla lied to me multiple times and said they would handle this he didn t want to do anything on his end. He told me he had experienced a similar issue himself and that it was his fault for not surrendering his plates. I am at a loss for words how bad this experience has been. At first I was simply shocked that I would have to drive 6 hours into another state to simply return a lease.

v161rs | 83 | Tesla Service Center Refuses to Fix Factory Defects **tl dr:** Even though I was promised by the advising and delivery staff that they would fix any problems that came with the car from the factory the Tesla service center is not cooperative at all giving pathetic excuses and avoiding all work. Looking back at my Tesla experience so far it really feels like this is intentionally anti-consumer by design which I will explain with my account below. I m not sure what to do now and would like some advice on what I can do next. Is there any way I can get the service center to actually work on my car? If I decide to return how do I even do that? I can t find anything about a return policy besides a 7-day return policy that was silently removed in 2020. --- So I just recently got my new Model 3 in northern California and I ve never quite had such mixed feelings about a car and its automaker. Firstly I d like to go over some things that I like since this post will be mostly negative but I just want to emphasize that I m not a Tesla hater… I mean I did decide to buy one after all. There are so many things about the car and experiences around it that I love so here are a few highlights: * The experience in the car and the app takes it all to the next level for me. This car handles better than anything I ve ever owned. The software it provides is useful and convenient. It does take a bit of time to learn everything that it has to offer but once you get used to everything I found that this car is stupid fun to play with. Yeah there are a few missing features that most gas cars have today that I really miss but factoring everything together still places this car above its competition for this section. * This is my first EV so finally not needing to deal with gas is huge. Dodging the recent gas price hikes has already saved me a ton of money and my location has plenty of charging stations so I never need to worry about running out of battery. While it does take longer to charge when compared to filling up gas having lots of entertainment options available makes up for it. Plus filling up gas takes more time than usual these days if you re going for more affordable gas options like Costco due to higher demand causing much longer lines. * The shopping experience has been great. I love not having to worry about dealers and while I understand that there are significant trade-offs in this I have to admit that just ordering through an app and not worrying about a dealer is so streamlined and convenient. I waited about 3 months to get my car and that timeline was pretty reasonable for me given my circumstances. I also got a few car accessories from the official Tesla shop and all the items shipped to my place in just 2 or 3 days. I was also able to return some items that I ended up not needing and Tesla was quick to refund me promptly which I appreciated. So now onto the bad things… ## Exploitative Delivery Let s talk about the delivery to start things off. I didn t get to choose my delivery day. When time neared the delivery range in the app it messaged me saying that the next steps were available. I saw the notification but I was busy so I ignored it and the next day when I actually had time to go through the delivery form I checked the app and saw that it was already scheduled for me. I shrugged and didn t think much of it since the chosen time worked for me anyway and honestly I was just happy that I was going to get my car soon. Delivery day comes and I get a text saying “Your Model 3 is on its way to \\_\\_\\_\\_. You ll be notified when your car arrives.” I m stoked and just as I m about to do something else since I assume it will take a few hours to get here 5 minutes later I get another text saying “Your Model 3 has arrived at \\_\\_\\_.” I was quite surprised! It s weird that the text messages came so close together but who cares! My car is here! So I walk around outside and I m expecting a tow truck to be somewhere but I eventually find my car in a reserved area that I m not allowed to park in and I see the Tesla delivery staff awkwardly looking down at his phone next to it. I realized that he probably drove the car down from the factory which I was a bit surprised by. It would ve been nice for it to get towed just so mileage isn t accumulated and that the car is less exposed to the elements as it gets here but honestly it s not a big deal for me. I greet him and he immediately starts apologizing about the fact that he didn t notify us that the delivery was in progress sooner and then he takes a microfiber cloth and starts frantically wiping down random dirty spots on the car. I tell him to relax it didn t cross my mind that it was an issue and then I open up my app to try and get in. It s here I realize that my app is still stuck on the “delivery is scheduled” screen so I ask if he can unlock the car for me or if he could give me the key cards but he says no and points out that the key cards are inside the car. The delivery staff s Uber ride pulls up and he s like “Sorry I have to go.” I quickly ask what happens if I find defects on the car. He says service will handle it afterward just contact them. Finally I ask if he can tell me who to call for help. He shrugs and says he doesn t know. Now I m left just standing there next to my new illegally parked Model 3 that I can t get into. So while I m locked out I start inspecting the car and find that there are some significant issues with paint dents scratches and misalignments with panels and badges. I don t consider myself a car person but even for a casual person like myself I find that these defects are extremely noticeable and unacceptable. To put it in perspective I m not going to be overly picky about small things like panel gaps or anything like that. I care more that my car is relatively symmetrical for a casual person s expectations and it s pretty far from that when my grandfather can even notice problems. Eventually I manage to contact a Tesla advisor who takes a while to unlock my app so I can finally drive. I take some time to find more defects inside the car and then I request a service appointment as soon as possible to ensure a concrete report of all the defects is documented within 24 hours after the delivery. In hindsight I think that all of what happened to me was intentional from Tesla s end because I m sure that they are aware that some of their cars do have defects from the factory. The key things to point out are: * By specifying my delivery for me they forced me to avoid the factory pick-up option. It s a lot harder to deny the car when it s already driven to your property and being at the factory makes it easier to deny the car if it is found to be in an unacceptable state. * The short timeline on delivery alerts is meant to catch customers off guard so the Tesla delivery staff can make it out as fast as possible. The best-case scenario for them is that the delivery staff never even sees the customer. That way it makes it difficult or ideally for Tesla impossible for the customer to ask questions identify factory defects deny the car etc. This is probably why my delivery staff was nervous and more concerned about looking at his Uber driver s progress on his phone rather than talking to me. * Tesla service must be heavily booked because it takes a while to get to your service appointment. My hunch is that they re probably getting a ton of appointments related to factory defects. The earliest service appointment I could get was 3-4 weeks after my delivery date and this long wait time benefits Tesla as the longer your ownership is the more reason Tesla has to say it s too late for returns. I can t even find anything about Tesla s return policy with its cars. It seems like there used to be a 7-day return policy but that has since been silently removed in 2020. ## Wrestling with the Service Center So even with the issues around delivery I would honestly be willing to put that all past me if the service center would just follow through with Tesla s promise to fix factory defects. I bring my Model 3 to the service center and proceed to point out the issues to the service staff and for every one of them they deflect it somehow so they don t need to perform any real work. For example on one side of my car there s a severe panel misalignment between the roof rail and the trunk. They told me that the solution is easy “Just adjust the bump stops at the top corners of the trunk lid.” They take 20 seconds to do it for me close the lid and say “Hey look isn t it better now?” And I m a bit at a loss for words... It s clear that it didn t do anything and there s no way it would do anything for this particular misalignment because the panels are offset laterally. The bump stops can only affect the height of the trunk lid. And this is pretty much how it goes the entire time. There s a paint defect scratch or dent? They can t see it. Can t think of any other excuse? This is within spec nothing is wrong here. So after we ve gone through all the problems with no solutions they want me to leave. I ask to see if we can look at other Model 3 s to compare to and the service employee says “That s going to be hard because we don t have any other Model 3 s at the moment.” I look at the parking lot in front of us without saying anything… I kid you not there are at least 20 Model 3s out there. He notices me looking and he says “Okay let s see if we can go find one ” and we start walking. As we re inspecting each Model 3 I m pointing out how they have examples of how my car should be. The service employee finally says “Yeah… I m starting to see what you mean a bit… but we can t do anything about it.” So I ve scheduled another service appointment that will come up in another few weeks and I m not sure what else I can do to get them to fix the car. If it goes unfixed I don t think the car is worth it anymore so does anyone have any experience with returns and how that goes? I m really at a loss here and any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. | Try a different service center? Sometimes you get a dick employee. I ve been fortunate that I ve only had to take my car in once for a cracked windshield at the Vallejo SC and got some shady vibes but they ultimately covered it. The rest of my appointments have been through mobile service and I got pretty good folks who came out. Those guys were based out of the Berkeley SC. | I just sold mine after 3 months.

v382sk | 462 | My robotaxi driver (FSD) is rated as a poor driver (53%) by the State Farm App With all the talk about safety scores I think it s always important to continue to rate the source. If robotaxis are to become a thing and they will all have the same driver that driver needs to be a good driver. I don t know the best app to use but State Farm has one that appears to be good and free so I tried using that to rate FSD as a driver. I ran the first one this morning which was a 2 mile commute from home to my office. 10.12.2. The 2 mile commute has two left turns one at a stop sign one at a light and two right turns one at a stop sign and one at a light. 7:30 am moderate traffic. In that short trip I got 9 alerts. 4 rapid acceleration 3 hard braking and 2 sharp cornering. One really pissed off driver in another car. 53% score. While I appreciate the focus on complicated unprotected left turns and other sexy AI problems I think the autopilot team needs to address simple things like not freaking out my family and the other drivers around me. I looked this up before posting and see only posts on Tesla s Safe Driving Score.

I just arrived at the service center and my car drove from my driveway 9 miles with zero disengagements and the drive was very smooth and enjoyable. The only imperfection was where it waited a bit too long at a clear right on red but it eventually took it without intervention. I d be pretty shocked if this ride was rated poorly unlike my service experience that keeps getting worse with every visit. I m gonna set up this app and try it out when I pick my car up in a day or two. If FSD driving gets a 53% my aggressive driving likely gets 20. | 61 | 7 | 9,677 |

Hopefully this will work for you too if you experience this issue. | > Finally I honked the horn just to make sure that the car would drive safely.

v3dgsv | 209 | My thoughts and analysis after using the CCS adapter for a few days Received my official CCS adapter from harum.io the other day and have been trying it out. So far I m beyond happy and very glad I bought it. Here is some of my thoughts and analysis on it. -It cost me 309 bucks exactly. Ordered on the 15th and received 15 days later. -The adapter worked with every station I ve tried so far. Tried at a few cheap free 50kw CSS stations and would sit around 45-49kw charge rate. Was able to get 46kw(about 60% charge 20% to 79%) delivered to my car at for $2.50 thanks to MG& Es special charge program in Madison WI. That is DIRT CHEAP about 5 cents per kWh. -I also tried an Electrify America 350kw signet unit and peaked out at 185kw and it stayed pegged at that from 14% to 33ish%. Charged to 84% and it costed me $7.27(13.9 cents per kWh) Way cheaper than the cheapest off peak rates near me which are about 11.8 cents per kWh standard kWh rates are 14.8cents per kWh here. -There is NO way currently for you to precondition the battery for fast charging at non superchargers. You will be coldgated and won t get good speeds at all until the battery is warmed up. The two work arounds for this are to either put a nearby supercharger into your navigation or I also found that after driving for an hour or two on the highway going 80-85mph in 90 degree weather made it so the battery was warm enough for a full charge rate from an EA 350kw station. -350kw EA stations are definitely faster than V2 SuC and within two or so minutes of V3 charging times. Normally on a road trip I ll arrive with 0-5% left in the pack charge for 10-15mins until the charge rate starts to drop below 120-100kw leave with 50-65% and then rip it for 2-3 hours until the next charger. V3 can get me from 5% to 50% in 10-11 minutes. 350kw ea station got me from 14% to 50% in 12 minutes and V2 SuC does that in about 20 minutes. -I don t have a place to charge my car at my apartment currently until I move in to my new place in August. This means I m very reliant on public L2 charging and DCFC for my MYP. It s really not that much of a hassle for me to charge my car no more so than a gas car even without being able to charge at home. I either leave my car parked at a nearby L2 charger and let it go for a few hours or if I need my car more immediately I ll go DCFC. If I m DCFCing all I m doing anyways is sitting and watching a video for a few minutes going to the bathroom and grabbing a snack quick grabbing groceries or eating a meal. There are still issues with having to do this. One is the obvious lack of convenience of having your car charge whenever you re not using it and waking up to a charged pack every day. This will eventually be a non issue for me once I move as my new place will have a charger. As time goes on this will be come a non issue for most apartment dwellers since way more L2 charging will be installed in the coming years. -The second issue I have with no at home charging is cost. Superchargers generally are half as expensive as gas but they re still way more expensive than charging at home(~31 cents per kWh where I am) Half of the reason I bought the CCS adapter was to help me save money in the long run. I drive over 35k miles a year so fuel costs are big for me and a large reason it made sense for me to get an EV. The more I m able to save the better so being able to have the ability to charge at 3x-6x cheaper(5 to 14 cents) than a supercharger is a no brainer. -This CCS adapter will be my main form of charging until I move most likely. If I were still driving my 2014 CX-5 I would be paying nearly 600 bucks(and climbing) per month on gas. Now thanks to the CCS adapter I should be able to keep charging costs well under 100 bucks if I want to and have access to every DCFC I could need. That 500 buck per month savings means my Tesla payment + fuel + insurance is cheaper than my 8 year gas cars payment fuel and insurance not to mention maintenance costs. Just simply amazing stuff. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about it. It works and it works well. I don t see tesla pricing this very much cheaper when it comes out than the $309 from buying direct from harum.io(Im expecting it to be more expensive than that honestly) so there s no point in waiting to get your hands on one if you ve been eyeing it. It s definitely a game changer for me but I m in a unique situation. Some majority of people that charge from home almost exclusively and only need to DCFC a few times a year to see family won t benefit as much as the supercharger network probably serves you great already. TDLR: Works well charges fast saves money more flexibility with charging buy it if you want it. | Given this post a helpful reminder is that not all Teslas are CCS compatible. Go to Controls > Software and tap Additional Vehicle Information and check if your car says CCS Adapter Support: Installed . If it doesn t you can t use an adapter. There is not clean date when this happened. It s been theorized that one of the delays to a US based adapter is Tesla being able to update cars to be compatible if you buy one. | All the Electricity America rates I saw were within 10-20% (lower) of what a Supercharger bills per kWhr.

If you want to precondition have you tried entering a supercharger as your destination and just… not gone to it? Idk if the preconditioning bases the process on proximity but if you know where you re going and don t need nav may be worth a try?

val84e | 32 | Tesla FSD vs Mercedes Drive Pilot I keep hearing about Mercedes level 3 autonomous driving system the Drive Pilot and that s they about to start selling using it in Germany. How Tesla s FSD stands against it? Can Drive Pilot navigate in urban environment with traffic lights unprotected lefts roundabout and other complications like FSD Beta? Have you seen any comparisons between the systems? I doubt that Mercedes is taking the same approach as Tesla with neuro networks and vision only and solving the general AI. Please share if you know more. | The two systems are quite similar for highway use the only difference is that Mercedes will sometimes take responsibility for the vehicle in a very constrained scenario (daytime dry weather below 37 mph following a car in germany and on specific roadways etc). FSD is more capable but remains a level 2. Drive pilot can t navigate urban environments. It is basically traffic jam driving and AP anywhere else. | I ve not experienced MB s Drive Pilot level 3 system but what I ve read (which matches the definition of level 3) is that is fully autonomous in specific cases. It s similar to autopilot but is constrained to certain roads and does not require the user to be attentive but may require them to take over. So the Drive Pilot is drastically more reliable to make it to Level 3 but FSD is drastically more capable as it s unlocked everywhere (but does sometimes try to kill you) | 62 | 12 | 9,694 |

Tesla autopilot could easily be deemed a “level 3” system if the criteria is in bumper to bumper highway traffic. And I said basic comes with every Tesla autopilot. Not this ridiculously expensive Mercedes add on. Navigate on autopilot could also be level 3 under this ridiculous low bar standard. This is *not* a technology issue - it s a regulatory issue.
