    Eclipse Trip: Supercharger Saturation?

    Hey gang, My wife is saying we shouldn't take the Tesla for an upcoming trip. Leaving Atlanta the afternoon of April 5th and traveling to Hoover, AL for the evening then leaving Saturday late morning for Benton, AR. Staying around Benton until Wednesday April 10th and driving all the way back...

    Talk me off the ledge.... No door handles?

    I think Elon has said the door handles will be deleted and there won't be any door handles. This is concerning to me in crash scenarios where the occupants may be in danger but incapacitated. Using the jaws of life on thick gauge steel and glass that is made to not break seems like it would...

    Could Tesla change the CANBUS signaling from FW to FW?

    Hi All, I'm running into an issue where my lightbar has stopped working and I'm wondering if it could be a change to Tesla's CANBUS signaling? Have they ever done that in the past? Change how things are signaled over the CANBUS? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7187688/ Thanks!

    Stupid FSD question

    Planning a longer road trip soon. I already have EAP with HW3 and love it on road trips. Thought about subscribing to FSD for one month to test out FSD beta and see how it performs on surface streets since we'll be in the car so much. Then it hit me that I would likely never get to touch FSD...

    Pure vision and live dashcam

    Does anyone know if the AP3/MCU2 Model S/X's are using the pure vision AP stack yet? I remember once Tesla went pure vision Elon said that the older cars with radar will keep using radar for a while, but have we made that transition yet or not? Anyone know? Also, does anyone know why the...

    Sentry live can't enable?

    Hi all, I got 2021.40.6 on my 2018 Tesla MS. I can't seem to find the enable Sentry Live mode toggle bar under the safety and security section? I have HW3 with MCU2. If I can't find that button to toggle it on in the car, I won't be able to get it to work in the app. Thoughts?

    Model 3 windshield wipers vs Model S

    I've had the opportunity to drive a model 3 twice now. Today on my way up to the service center it was raining and my wipers were super noisy (and they're almost brand new). Then I get into this dingy Model 3 service loaner and drive home. The wiper blades are absolutely silent. It was night...

    FSD Upgrade: How long did you have to wait?

    All, I'm considering ponying up the $5k for the upgrade from eAP (I'm on HW2.5) to FSD. I'm curious, 1. How long after you clicked the purchase button in the app did you have to wait before getting your upgrade? 2. Did Tesla contact you proactively to setup the appointment or did you have to...

    When will EAP w/ HW2.5 stop getting better

    I'm still seeing improvements but I'm wondering we'll get these code improvements where Elon says the system is moving from 2D to "4D" (e.g. 3-dimension tracking + time) I'm hopeful we'll see EAP continue to get smoother/better but we just won't have the surface street goodies. What do you...

    Model X redesign: What's the chance of it having no FWDs?

    I would rather have an SUV, but not with those falcon wing doors. What chances do you guys give it? I think it's low - too much of a change and retooling the line... but I hold out hope... Better yet - What about the chance of a cyberSUV?

    paper/marble dash?

    Does anyone else think this looked weird? Is there no glove box? All that space being consumed jutting out into the cabin and no storage anywhere inside it? Hard angles too? How's your face going to feel in an accident if you hit that? How's it going to hold up to wear? Moisture/spills?

    Uh oh... v10 and Tesla Waze might be tough

    Has anyone figured out how to get the Nav on top with browser on the bottom like it was before v10? The new v10 behavior appears to only let you run the browser in near full screen, which blocks the built in nav. Attempting to resize/drag the browser to only take up the lower half of the...

    Car damaged by detailing guys.. how would you handle?

    Team, I'm wondering you would handle this? This looks repairable if I got the part myself, but then again I didn't damage it (the detailing guy that cleans cars at our office park did it).. He's agreed to fix it on his dime... So how would you handle it if you were me? 1. Book a service...

    AP1 vs AP2(.5)

    I'm on 5.16 and have pretty much stopped using AP unless traffic is very slow stop and go or free flow with no one behind me. If I get a car following me at any reasonable distance I shut it off because it is now HARD phantom braking at random places and could cause an accident. I had an AP1...

    100D motor LOUD

    Hey guys, I'm looking to potentially buy a 100D loaner from Tesla. I'm driving it right now but the first thing I noticed was how loud the motor (I'm assuming the front based on feel/direction)...

    P100D loaner won't charge on my mobile charger

    Team, Looking to pick your collective brains on this one. Tesla has kindly allowed me to do an "overnight" with a P100D loaner (good lordy this thing is fast)... When I got the car they didn't provide any adapters or a mobile charger.... Luckily I have mine at home. I have two 14-50 plugs in...

    Why do so many inventory models have the glass roof?

Those 3 options are the ones I care about the most and...

    Center screen.. Why not flush?

    Thoughts on when we'll see a CPU/GPU upgrade?

    I've been holding out on upgrading for quite a while. The facelift+AP1 and later AP2 hardware made things more challenging to stay strong but I'm thinking what will really make it tough is when they upgrad the center console screen and/or CPU/GPU with more modern gear. Anyone care to speculate...

    Tire rotation/balance at Tesla

    Hey everyone- I was told by my service tech manager that the 21" Continentals need to be rotated around every 3k miles. I was planning to do it more like every 5-7k... The first time I had them rotated was at the service center for my annual check-up, which was probably around 12-13k miles...

    All-Weather Model S Interior Set in Tan?
