    what is FSD 12.3 expected to do when it arrives at its destination?

    I’m also puzzled about what to do when FSD reaches its destination. Used the system to navigate home this afternoon and decided to not disengage upon arrival as I usually do, but just see what FSD would do. As home approached, nav displayed I had arrived and the car pulled to the curb near our...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    I activated FSD on Tuesday last and set navigation to the Auto Museum in downtown Reno, where I volunteer three days a week. A 15 mile, 25 min trip including several miles of freeway. The experience was utterly amazing, but as others have observed, there were as expected, a few issues. On a...

    2024 Suggestions for Improvement

    Recent reporting indicates she was 3X the legal limit. And yes, I always strive to “Pay attention to the what gear you are in.” 😀.

    Tesla Model 3 2021 Accident

    No doubt your estimate is preliminary and there likely will be additional discoveries as the repair proceeds. How high does the cost need to go until the car is totaled?

    What do you do if you need roadside assistance and your phone does not work?

    I’ve survived without a cell phone for a long time. The “kindness of strangers” has yet to disappoint.

    How can I get my safety score?

    Looks like no one came forward with an answer. So many folks discussing their scores and no one able to provide details on finding it? You and I must be the only ones in the dark. All I could find is “go to the Safety Score on the app”. Nothing like that on my app on iPad.

    Touch up paint

    Following up on my post. Essie Marshmallow 024, is an excellent match for the Pearl White Multi-Coat on my sons Model 3. Only downside is application. Sags on vertical surfaces are difficult to avoid, even when applying multiple thin coats (I used a toothpick) but from a few feet, who cares? I...

    Touch up paint

    Hello PedramGh! I’ve been scouring the interwebs for several hours in an effort to find suitable touch up for my son’s 2021 pearl white Model 3 and your post from a few years back came up. You said Essie has 4 shades of white and their Marshmallow color worked for you. Heading to Target...

    Micheline Crossclimate 2's on a 18" Model 3 LR

    Just got off the phone with Michelin Customer Service (after holding for a little over 15 minutes and being reminded every 15 seconds that an associate would be with me soon) regarding what I feel is excessive noise from CC2’s on our 2020 M3. A heavy foot on our Long Range Dual Motor resulted in...

    Aero Shield Panel

    I can guarantee Tesla won’t install aftermarket equipment. I had mobile service out to do my cabin filter and asked the tech to install the improved fastener I had purchased on the interweb, which makes filter installation easier. The tech apologized and said they were not permitted to install...

    Tesla Model 3 Accident - Why didnt Airbags Deploy?

    I volunteer regularly at Tire Rack Street Survival events and part of the program is to activate an airbag on the parking lot. They fly into low earth orbit 😱. OK, would you believe 100 feet! 😀

    Interesting cell phone event

    We’re retired and my wife and I share our M3, although I usually drive it mornings to my volunteer work at the National Automobile Museum in Reno. A better option than my elderly Alfa or our diesel pickup. Weather has been volatile in our area, with significant snow expected later today. I have...
