vdz132 | 23 | Tesla turning radius I ve had the Tesla Model Y for about a year our other car is a Subaru Forester and find the turning radius is super wide on the Tesla. We re able to make turns in the Subaru that requires a 4-point turn in the Tesla (like turning into our garage). Is this what others experience or is it just our car? | The goal was aerodynamics to increase range. The compromise was shallow wheel wells to avoid drag. The result is the wheels cannot turn very far so the turning radius is wide. Every carmaker has to make thousands of such decisions and they all have tradeoffs. | I came from an Acura TSX which despite being a tiny nimble car somehow had a worse turning radius. But yea the model 3 turning radius is fairly wide. | 64 | 4 | 9,706 |

At low speeds you don t even need to put your foot on the brake before hand nor do you need to be at a complete stop. That and the gear stick is right at the tip of your finger. | 64 | 18 | 9,707 |

veqrol | 149 | Tesla mobile service is amazing! Big shout out to Anthony from the Lynnwood WA Service Center! I just went to charge at lunch at the Supercharger in Lynnwood and Anthony was charging his car next to mine. I didn t even really notice his service center Tesla sitting next to mine but he said hello and asked if I wanted him to check my tire pressure. He pulled out a portable compressor and topped off my tires (my front drivers side tire was a couple pounds light) checked their wear (said I should schedule a rotation in 3000 miles) then noticed I had some water marks discoloration on my black trim from the car wash and said a Magic Eraser would solve the issue. He dug one out of his trunk and cleaned up the residue from the car wash then left me the eraser for later use. He also let me know that they did tire rotations at your home or work...I figured that would require an appointment at the service center. Some of you may have already experienced service like this but as a new owner I am totally blown away! If all of the mobile service techs are as friendly and helpful as Anthony I have no doubt that Tesla will eventually be rated #1 for service as well as having the best cars on the road! | Just had similar experience at supercharger station. Two tech was servicing the charger after they done they went through every Tesla to ask if we have any questions checked tires and top the wiper fluid. | Wow! That s above and beyond. The one s I have experienced have been more the below and beneath type. | 39 | 11 | 9,709 |

vglj67 | 284 | TIL: puddle light can affect car knowing door is closed Had a mobile service appointment for my 2021 model 3 today for issues with car not auto locking when I “walk away”. Also the window would immediately go up after releasing the door handle causing the window to bump into the top frame. Turns out a bad puddle light affects whether the car knows if the door is open closed. Tech replaced the puddle light and everything began working again. I had installed after market puddle lights and thought I had it connected properly but it came loose. Anyway if you have a similar problem check your puddle light to make sure you see it is lit up. If not you may just need to check the connection or get a replacement. Tech said this affects model 3 and Y only. EDIT: I was not trying to make a statement about aftermarket parts necessarily although there is a lot of great discussion about this topic here. I just wanted to pass along that a puddle light failure can affect your vehicle in strange ways. It never came to mind a simple light would cause these sorts of problems. This could have happened with the OEM light as well. | Good to know. I changed mine to the Tesla “T” logo and I m pretty sure all of them snapped in ok but I ll remember this. Thank you for your wisdom 👍🏻 | Thanks for the info | 35 | 4 | 9,716 |

vj2990 | 66 | If you had to purchase a Tesla for the first time with today s prices would you or would you not? Why? I see many people saying they re no longer considering Tesla due to the constant price increases. Just looking for discussion on those who justify it vs those who think the market now offers enough alternatives that Tesla isn t their only option or even considered one. | Tesla has priced me out. It was already expensive for me when I bought in 2021 but today s prices would be more than my budget would allow. | I was looking to buy a new Model 3 because I put a lot of km for work. I m not buying at these prices. Will wait and see in 1-2 years what offers are on the market. Tesla will have to bring back down prices a bit once more competition enters the market. But that s in a couple of years. I guess the price of gas will play into it as well. | 125 | 3 | 9,724 |

It was already expensive for me when I bought in 2021 but today s prices would be more than my budget would allow. | If i had the cash to drop a very large downpayment $15-20k I would still buy a Model Y. If i had to finance the full amount for a LR Model Y then no. It s a bit too pricey now. However if you factor in the cost of gas nowadays it is still within reason to make the purchase. With the Vietnamese (Vinfast) and China (XPeng) coming in hot with their new EVs Tesla will have some serious competition in the affordability realm so give it about a year and then the value will return. | 125 | 5 | 9,725 |

It was fun being a bit of a trailblazer and it really made me fall in love with the electric drivetrain. However some really compelling electric products are coming around the corner. I have my eye on the Polestar 3 and 5 Porche Macan EV perhaps an Audi offering and maybe even Lucid Gravity. Tesla have always looked like an awkward jelly bean with too much road noise and rattles for the price but the sport factor and efficiency was too much to resist. With the latest Musk shenanigans I m even more put off and will try harder to look for an alternative. I would have otherwise been looking at a new model X end of 2022-2023 but now quite far down on the list. | 125 | 10 | 9,726 |
vj2sxe | 656 | Everyone comes here to complain. I m posting to give credit where its due for excellent customer care. My wife was unable to drive this morning because the 12v battery failed in her Model Y. Within 30 minutes of contacting Tesla they had me scheduled for a mobile tech to come to the house. 2 hours later they arrived fixed the problem (for free) and we are good to go. My guess is 99 out of 100 cases are like this people never take the time to praise good customer care only come to complain when something happens outside the norm. I m not saying there isn t always room for improvement my point is Tesla s service is not as bad as people believe it is. | Mobile service is and has always been amazing. It s the service centers that are a shit show. | Guessing your location makes a big difference. Where I live there are a fair number of Teslas around but nothing close to west coast cities. Mobile appointments are almost always available in 2 or 3 days and every last time the tech has called a day ahead of time asking if he can come early. Maybe if they had a truck to sell things around here would be busy. | 124 | 25 | 9,727 |

vlxx5j | 76 | PSA - get your Tesla aligned as soon as you receive it. I m not sure if this is common knowledge but I clearly didn t know about it. I just spent about $1000 on new tires and an alignment because my Tesla was misaligned from the factory. Only had about 20 000 miles on the tires and the inside of the front right tire was bare and was causing terrible vibrations at high speed. Also a PSA to not be like me and go get your tires rotated more often. Edit - I understand this doesn t happen for every single Tesla and I m sure it happens on other brands of cars too. I just wanted to bring attention to something that can easily be checked that could save you a set of tires in the long run. The owner of the shop I went to told me he has done several brand new Teslas that were really misaligned so it clearly isn t just mine. Edit 2- okay I get it. I guess mine could have been caused over time and was properly aligned from the factory but the alignment shop wasn t surprised that I had an alignment issue and told me several brand new Teslas come in with misalignments. In my head I made the connection that mine came out of the factory misaligned. So for legal reasons I can neither confirm or deny that it came out of the factory misaligned. | Remember everyone get your tires rotated when you get your oil change!  | Picking my fist Tesla up on Thursday. Is there a way I can check this upon pickup so I don t have to pay for it? Also where does one get a Tesla aligned? Would you guys say only at Tesla or elsewhere?

Thanks for input | This is on my Model 3 2019 as part of the premium interior back then then. Now that I have it it s indispensable. The garage door automatically opening every time I pull up to my driveway is magic. My other car has no home link and it s so cumbersome. However it does have caveats. The car can t always tell if you re coming or going so. My car might be parked into the driveway and I pulled it into the garage.. the home link will still activate even though the garage is already open. I don t think there is any system that feeds back whether or not the door is already open or not. It s not perfect but it s great. | Only you can answer that for yourself.

vting2 | 898 | CONFIRMED: Running the heat for at least an hour solves the problem of air conditioning smelling bad for many people. Like many other Tesla owners I ve been having problems with a sharp musty smell coming from my ventilation system over the summer. Two summers ago I paid Tesla to both change my cabin air filters and clean the A C coils which worked well. This summer the smell came back presumably due to bacteria growing on damp coils. I decided to do an experiment and run the heat in my car for 4 hours to see if that would completely dry out the coils kill the bacteria and eliminate the smell. It worked! I talked to a Tesla mobile tech today and he said lots of his customers are doing the same thing and having success. He suggested doing it while plugged in (if possible) and he mentioned that other people are setting their cars to do it overnight using the schedule feature. He also said that most people are reporting that one hour of heat on high temperature is all we need. For those who prefer to have Tesla replace their filters and clean the coils we can now request that service through the mobile app. It is $140 which includes half an hour of labor and a can of one-time-use spray foam that the tech sprays onto the coils and lets sit for 10+ minutes. The foam then evaporates and leaves an anti-microbial coating. EDIT: When I did this I put the temperature on the highest setting set the fan halfway (on manual) opened the windows and put the car in keep mode. I did not need to leave a door ajar or put anything on the front seat to trick the car into thinking I was there. I have a 2019 M3 | Awesome will definitely try next time the smell comes back. I ve done 2-3 filter changes and coil cleanses and am getting sick of it. Also a really embarrassing problem if you have passengers that have to be subjected to the awful smell. If it s a proven solution it would be cool if they made a button in the Service menu HVAC Self-Clean or something that does it automatically. Kind of like ovens that have a self-cleaning mode that takes a few hours. Edit: also **can you confirm exact settings?** Auto or manual mode? Max heat? Fan speed (if manual)? Recirc on off? AC on off? Rear vent on off? etc. | The Tesla ventilation system really should be programmed by Tesla to automatically run for a few minutes after leaving the car but with the AC forced off. The problem arises from moisture sitting in the system post-AC running and is a ripe breeding ground for microbes. It s a very easy fix... by running the vents with the AC off for about 5 minutes it evaporates the leftover moisture. | 159 | 8 | 9,741 |

vvwv4c | 26 | Model 3 warranty up ideas So our 2018 model 3 goes off warranty on Wednesday and we have a service appointment for tomorrow to check on a autopilot not available error it threw last week but hasn t shown back up. They are also checking a hot charging plug alert and a driver seat occupancy sensor. With it going off warranty any other things you recommend they check for us? Thanks. | Ask them to complete an end of warranty inspection. It ll cost about $100 or so but could be worth it if they find things that they would then end up replacing for free | Autopilot unavailable has been annoying.

vwbg6g | 105 | Tesla Removed all my features I recently bought a used Model S yes it was from a dealer so a 3rd party. However I purchased the car with the Autopilot and EAP features included in the cost. I switched ownership and now I don t even have basic autopilot on the car. I called Tesla and they are telling me the car never had autopilot or EAP but I used it several times. I even looked at purchasing self driving once I got the car but was waiting to switch ownership accounts. Now I need to purchase $3k for autopilot and $6k for EAP to even purchase self driving. Has anyone else experienced this and were you able to get Tesla to restore your features? Thanks in advance! | You should keep pestering Tesla and speak to multiple people. If that doesn t work the dealer you bought from needs to either compensate for the advertised feature or deal with Tesla to provide proof to get your features reinstated. I would think the dealer is on the hook from a legal standpoint for advertised features. | Have you talked to the dealership you bought it from? | 171 | 40 | 9,748 |

Will I be able to drive it normally update the software and charge it at home? | I think your 2 biggest obstacles would be: 1) Lack of service center or mobile technicians: If you happen to NEED service you ll have no recourse (unless you can confirm before purchase you would have 3rd party options in your country?). You could attempt to do some service items yourself (like replace 12V which is a common fail item) but other issues you might not be able to do anything. 2) Charging options: As long as you can reliably & safely charge at home with the appropriate adapters (i.e. likely a home charger with a CCS plug & use the Tesla adapter is probably the most common unless you get the Tesla wall mount itself) you ll be fine knowing that your away from home charging options maybe be either very limited or non-existent (which might be an issue for long trips).

Too many other EVs use CCS now. The same thing happened with Beta vs VHS (yes I m old). Beta was better but VHS was more widely adopted due to patent issues. Same thing is happening with Lightning and USB-C although in that case it s debatable which is better. Edit: I should clarify I mean too many EV makers use CCS. It ll be hard to get all those other companies to change and they have a lot more lobbying groups and lobbying $ than Tesla. Even Tesla uses CCS in Europe now. | Not that this is an issue in the US but the one thing the Tesla connector is lacking is three phase AC charging. Again not that 3 phase AC is a thing in the US.

As long as you keep your vehicle as a sufficient SOC your vehicle will proactively warn you if there is an issue with your 12v. 5 weeks later while I was visiting my wife s family and during an afternoon following a morning when the temperatures dropped into the 20s my car was completely dead. The only indication of any life was a tiny little sound I could barely hear as the mirror motor tried without effect to unfold the mirrors. I took that sound as an indication that the voltage on the battery has fallen so low in the cold that it could not operate anything. Since the 12V failed the main computer (MCU) died. Because the MCU is the very thing that monitors the charge in the 12V battery and enables charging it from the traction battery the MCU was not alive to do so.

I m currently stuck on the side of the road with a 2-year-old. Are you just supposed to not get a flat tire on the weekend? They offered to arrange a towing service but I just cancelled the entire request and found an alternative. Please tell me at least one person has had a good experience with Tesla Roadside Assistance. If not I m thinking I need to sign up for AAA. | Yeah it stinks. Best situation was they towed me within two hours to a service center where we stayed overnight. I purchased the spare kit and it s been a lifesaver. And actually this last weekend I was out of town and got a huge nail in my tire. I luckily had a plug kit and was able to plug it and continue my trip. Worked out really well. It s going to be a big issue with pretty much all new cars that they don t include a spare. | What was the alternative you found ? | 178 | 6 | 9,763 |
w0ri6e | 247 | Seriously disappointed in Circleville Ohio Hilton... They have 2 Tesla chargers and two other chargers and dedicted spots for charging EVs. Per normal the chargers are powered off and you have to ask them to be turned on. I politely ask the front desk to turn the one on I m plugged into and give them my room number only to be hit with a $15 dollar charge. I decline and then I m hit with a lecture about how asking for free charging is not different than asking for free gas at a gas station. I believe this is a franchise location. AITA for expecting free charging after paying $350 for two nights? | Oddly enough it s the nice hotels that have been most likely to hit me up for paid WiFi or whatever. I think they assume you re traveling on business and your expense account will cover it. | Personally I think $15 day is fair. It s more likely to be available that way. Plenty of other threads with people complaining about getting access to the 1 free charger. I would only use it if the $15 saved me time the next day and I could avoid a DCFC. I mean the wholesale cost of that snack in the minibar isn t $7 either… | 193 | 3 | 9,764 |

So if the gym is free I d expect the chargers free too. Car charging is more like a breakfast than 60L of gas. And the breakfast is free.... I d definitely say they have to tell people there s a charge if they expect people to pay that much. I ve paid for charging but I d be pissed in your situation | 193 | 9 | 9,766 |

w2emvm | 839 | Out of warranty drive unit failure: Service Center recommends to scrap the car I m an early Tesla supporter and my 9 year old Model S is out of warranty. My drive unit failed about 3 years in and Tesla took care of it under warranty which was great. We love our car and we loved how Tesla used to take care of customers. We own one of the largest Tesla Solar installations in Colorado a second Tesla Model 3 and even multiple PowerWalls as well as Tesla shares. We have recommended Tesla to all our friends and we know of multiple people that bought one through our high praise and recommendations. Now 9 years in my drive unit failed with error code Dl\\_w126 and is no longer drivable. The Colorado Aurora Service Center manager recommended for me to scrap the car and he gave me the option to replace the drive unit for $7500 out of pocket with a 1 year parts warranty however is strongly recommended against that since something else most likely will break and it won t be worth it . As a Tesla shareholder and supporter that is concerning on multiple levels if the official message to customers is to scrap the car after 8 years when it is out of service. What should I do? What is this community s view about Tesla s stance and does this change your view on your ownership and if you would recommend a Tesla to a friend? | Fix it at $7 500 and then sell it at $30 000. | It s a 9 year old car that just had one of it s most expensive parts fail. You could opt to repair but if that battery pack quits you might be completely stuck. Another option is to buy a used part and install it but of course the service center can t recommend that. | 1,279 | 181 | 9,768 |

Buying a new Model S is way more expensive than spending $7 500. | Sounds like any other BMW Benz Audi it s an old expensive car that will cost a lot to maintain. Only difference is there isn t much of an aftermarket to support them like there are for the other brands yet. | 426 | 3 | 9,769 |

w3q6v9 | 3,644 | Things I ve “learned” about my Tesla from people who don t own one 1. The batteries need replaced every 100 000 miles 2. It takes hours to charge making travel away from home nearly impossible 3. If you get in an accident the batteries catch on fire and insurance does NOT cover them 4. Building a Tesla creates more pollution than would ever be offset vs buying an ICE car 5. The only way to charge at home is to get a special charger installed 6. Unless you have a very new home your electrical system can t support EV charging 7. Charging actually costs more than gas 8. You can t go over 100mph because electric motors can t generate enough power to overcome the air resistance 9. They randomly crash on their own 10. The government is tracking you all the time | The one I keep hearing is But where do you think the electricity comes from? and COAL POWERED CAR!! | \\#8: This goes with the uncontrollable acceleration that kills people who end up going faster than 100 and pressing the brake does nothing ? | 745 | 21 | 9,774 |

The government is tracking you all the time | The one I keep hearing is But where do you think the electricity comes from? and COAL POWERED CAR!! | Number 2 is at least understandable confusion. Charging at home *does* take many hours and home charging is what most people will be first exposed to with a friend or neighbor s vehicle. People aren t used to thinking of different speeds for filling their gas tank-- whether you fill it up from a gas can at home or at a pump the time doesn t change much. It genuinely doesn t occur to people that there might be faster public chargers. More than one person I ve talked to thought that the reason I charged at home is so I didn t have to go sit at a public charger for eight hours. Then it gets even more complicated explaining the tapering charge rate at superchargers. I usually try to cover both bases without getting into the weeds with something like At the fast chargers a full charge takes less than an hour. At home a full charge can be done overnight. | 745 | 31 | 9,775 |

wcsjst | 357 | I built a new Tesla app called Tessie **tl dr** built [Tessie](https: tessie.com) for my own Tesla maybe you ll find it useful too I was initially inspired to make it because I was forgetting to plug in at home after I bought the car. It seemed like a really easy thing to address with a push notification and was shocked that no software had it at the time. Yada yada yada a new app was born! I started alpha testing a prototype in mid-2020. The first real growth happened in just the last couple months. It s full of helpful supplementary features like that push notification. The big ones for most people tend to be drive tracking > battery health measurement > voice controls > Apple Watch app > desktop browser access. There are a lot of other features like smart alerts (rain is approaching and windows are down geofencing things like that) an automation system and Shortcuts integrations an Alexa skill and a developer API. The tiniest feature is one of the most popular: an option to not wake the car when opening the app. There are tons of love-and-care touches everywhere designed to make owning a Tesla even more awesome. Tessie tries really hard to match the greatness of the car. It s an impossible goal to achieve but I m trying. :) It s extremely important to me to build something holistically great. Included in that is my ability to sleep at night so Tessie has a huge focus on privacy - there is no selling or sharing of any data ever. Instead it s financed by people that love the app for being awesome and that s it. Tessie logs around 10 terabytes of data per day for Tesla owners so providing the features are very expensive and that s why it s not a cheap one-time payment.

wgmhl5 | 60 | If you re dealing with significant vibration at highway speeds read this! We have a 2021 Tesla Model Y with the 20 all-season tire package. The Goodyear tires have this SoundComfort Tech which is a piece of foam bonded to the inner liner of the tire that supposedly reduces noise (this will be relevant later). We got a flat tire and went through a very stressful and lengthy time to find a new tire. Due to supply-chain issues at the time we either had to wait for 2 weeks for a stock tire or get exactly the same tire but without the foam for \\~ $75 less. We chose the fast and less $ no foam. I finished getting two new tires and leaving the most worn as a spare. Fast forward 2 weeks and we get this awful vibration at \\~ 65mph getting worst at higher speeds. I immediately assumed (incorrectly) that it was related to the two new tires. I took the vehicle back to America s Tire twice and they couldn t figure it out. They would rebalance all 4x tires but the vibration remained. So I took it to Tesla Service. Kudos to the service technician I got at Sunnyvale CA. He checked balancing on all tires and noticed that the one that was off balance (one of our two stock tires) also needed a lot of steel weights so he took the tire off. And there it was! The foam was all bunched up like a rag inside a washing machine! NEVER AGAIN will I purchase tires with foam inside. Keep it simple. I hope this helps someone else! TLDR: Bought a 2021 Tesla Model Y that came stock with foam inside the tires. One of the tires had the foam fail and created significant vibration issues. It took us weeks to figure it out. | I had this exact same issue. When I had my 2021 Y with the 20 rims after about 20 000 miles there s a bad vibration above 70 mph and gets worse as speed goes higher. It was the same issue the foam came loose. Tesla tech tried to reapply the foam but the tread got worn unevenly so it didn t fix the issue it just made the vibration speed to 80mph instead. The car flooded shortly after so that s that. | I ~~f~~bought replacement tires without the foam and the tire noise was significantly louder. It can go wrong sure but for the noise difference I m never going to buy a tire without it. Just know it s something to check. | 41 | 6 | 9,786 |

wh6oij | 62 | Deaf Driver + Deaf Passenger. We have legal yes no chat method. But can t use Tesla screen. HELP? Hello. One of my friends has a Tesla. We are both deaf. In the past with non-Tesla we have an iPad holder + Notes + bluetooth keyboard. With an iPad holder and as passenger I can type to driver on my Bluetooth keyboard while in passenger seat. **FOOD EXIT IN 30 MINS?** or things like **WOULD YOU PREFER DOWNTOWN PIZZA OR THE SUSHI KING PALACE?** while we re going down the freeway or lazy road. Then with his right hand he can flash a number sign or yes no sign (in sign language) while keeping his eyes on the road. The font size is something like 50points so text is bigger than the freeway signs and the deaf driver can answer my questions in a mere 0.5 seconds because the info is a quick glance (iPad is like a programmable highway sign inside the car). It s faster to read in 0.5 seconds because the text is so gigantic and the text is stationary (iPad holder). And it is 100% hands off no different from glancing at a radio station number. I checked with the city and they said it is legal because it s hands off and the passenger is controlling the screen. Typing in passenger seat is no different than passenger typing in song search text. And the driver never takes hands off steering wheel because it s just simply Yes No answer or a number answer via one hand (in sign language) or a head nod or a pointing. But the Tesla has an amazing big screen! Can I do the same thing on the Tesla screen instead? Is there a Tesla sanctioned app or accessibility method? Can Tesla connect to Bluetooth keyboards? That way I can put away the iPad. | Simple solution is Tesla sketchpad app where you can handwrite any message hope this helps | While there s no way to do this with a keyboard directly at the moment you may be able to do something similar--though I haven t tested it. You should be able to bring up something like Google Docs in the browser and type into it using the on-screen keyboard. It won t be nearly as smooth as your keyboard setup but it should be workable. | 64 | 14 | 9,788 |

The font size is something like 50points so text is bigger than the freeway signs and the deaf driver can answer my questions in a mere 0.5 seconds because the info is a quick glance (iPad is like a programmable highway sign inside the car). It s faster to read in 0.5 seconds because the text is so gigantic and the text is stationary (iPad holder). And it is 100% hands off no different from glancing at a radio station number. I checked with the city and they said it is legal because it s hands off and the passenger is controlling the screen. Typing in passenger seat is no different than passenger typing in song search text. And the driver never takes hands off steering wheel because it s just simply Yes No answer or a number answer via one hand (in sign language) or a head nod or a pointing. But the Tesla has an amazing big screen! Can I do the same thing on the Tesla screen instead? Is there a Tesla sanctioned app or accessibility method? Can Tesla connect to Bluetooth keyboards? That way I can put away the iPad. | Simple solution is Tesla sketchpad app where you can handwrite any message hope this helps | Having experienced this world… single hand signing is still WAY faster than adding a middle solution. I m a tech guy and as of the last bit of years - we are not there. 4 people drove across a state with two hearing and two deafies - pardon spelling I can t remember the right word spelling. We spent the entire road trip discussing pitch and volume = they had never even had this discussion. I learned about them they learned about us hearing people…. We were both baffled. I didn t know their lives they didn t know mine either. That was like 8 years ago… it changed me. | 64 | 18 | 9,790 |
wi883k | 1,276 | We need to spread the word about dog mode -- Some Karen and Ken threatened to call cops on me for leaving my pup in a 70 degree car when its 100 outside Instead of going to therapy I a SV keyboard monkey created a website to channel my anger XD [http: tesladogmode.com](https: t.co eOdjaQZ81R) Here is the story: I was picking up food for my pup a 75lb cream golden. When I got out of the store some middle aged dude approached me and said: you can t leave your dog in the car like that . I replied: Oh haha it s all cool. The car is in dog mode (I was still calm at this point) Dog mode? He asked Yeah the AC stays on. Wanna try it? It s super cool I said No you can t do that we are going to call the cops on you. Huh? What part of dog mode do you not understand? Look at the fucking screen No you can t do that. This dude proceeds to repeat same thing a few more times. & #x200B This is honestly infuriating. How much brain power does it take to understand what dog mode is... Fucking oof | Ok so I do commercial property management on the SF peninsula so there are lots of teslas about. During the summer it can be daily or once a week but at least once a week someone (often our security) contacts me about a dog locked in a hot car. Now I just ask is it a Tesla? But what I have learned and why I am writing this is this. In my experience with this topic people go into emergency mode and really can t be communicated with normally. You have to keep it basic and short. The term dog mode is very foreign to most folks and they don t process it well. What does work is to say the car is on the AC is on the dog is fine. Every time I say this it immediately deescalates the situation. They you can say the term dog mode. Tell them that s what it s call with teslas. They they get it and while they still might be worked up. They are beginning to become receptive. Sounds weird I know but I have been through this already like 40-50 times over the past three years or so since the model 3 came out and is everywhere. Before it was just the S & X models and they are much more expensive so there were less of them around. Edit:some spelling and punctuation.

wis9y5 | 56 | Aero Wheels Range Improvement for SR vs. LR I can t help but notice the Model 3 SR with 18 Aero Wheels only has a 5-mile range improvement over one with 19 Sport Wheels (272 mi. vs. 267 mi. per EPA a 1.9% increase) whereas the Model 3 LR with Aero Wheels has 24 miles increased range over the same motor with Sport Wheels (358 mi. vs 334 mi a 7.2% increase). This is puzzling to me as an aerospace engineering student. Both the SR and LR seem to be identical externally so their aerodynamics should be the same with the respective wheels. One difference I can think of is the added weight of the battery in the LR. Intuitively the heavier bigger battery vehicle should be more resistant to drag (drag is constant but accounts for a smaller fraction of the total balanced force) as the LR probably exerts more force. I appreciate any help in understanding this disparity. Edit: For clarification I m wondering why the LR (heavier) car has a higher % improvement than the SR with Aero Wheels. | Are you factoring in the heavier LFP battery? | Account for weight and additional motor | 39 | 7 | 9,794 |

wkeery | 52 | Ride the Lightening: Interview With a Former Tesla Engineer [Podcast] A former Tesla engineer joins me to talk about life at Tesla during a critical time in the company s history – the run-up to the Model 3 – and how his new company could be the answer to one of the biggest concerns about owning an EV: charging at an apartment complex. [Link](https: podcasts.google.com feed aHR0cHM6Ly90ZXNsYXBvZGNhc3QubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M episode NWNiNDg3ZmItMGRiMS00Y2Y1LThiMWUtNzdmYWE2OTE5NDQx?hl=en& ved=2ahUKEwjj7bz70br5AhU1K0QIHWt1BBcQjrkEegQIBBAI& ep=6) | His new company is working on selling Wifi BT enabled metering 120v 240v plugs for apartments.
