High lights of 2nd day of driving FSD: No super critical interventions, but there were two worth noting. This is after about 3 hours driving on a two lane hi way, city driving, and freeway driving. 1. while on FSD I signaled to make a right turn at the next street, instead FSD attempted to turn...

if and when we eight point niners get it will it start with the latest 12.3.6 or whatever is the latest.

I'm on 2024.8.9 Will 2024.8.9 need to be updated to something else via over the air update? Will I get an email? Do I need to check for it on the Tesla website? Will there be a Tesla app message? Will there be a message on the screen and where will it be? Will I not get it because I've...

A lot of people question the popular climate change narrative. And sustainable energy is too far in the future for them to care. But the one thing they/we are certain of is cancer among our friends and family. To be honest the term sustainable energy/ future in my mind I just associated it...

I don't see this as a problem for a couple of reasons: . 1. If electricity is out we are not getting gas either unless gas pumps are running off of generators. 2. We have a 12,500 KW generator with a big propane tank to fuel it.

Having just watched a lengthy documentary about the Game Stop situation in early 2021 its concerning how much big hedge fund companies can negatively influence stock prices. In consideration of how the success of Tesla can absolutely devastate auto companies and energy corporations I'm...

I've just learned that the Tesla cybertruck at this time does not have autopilot. One speculation is that it is because the CT's steer by wire innovation. Thinking about this further it could be autopilot software is more complicated because of CT's variable turn ratio. That is just driving down...

seems like it stopped when an upgrade said that the driver would be notified if its location was asked for on an app.

it would be good to have a tutorial about all the ways to prevent battery drain while being parked. Case in point parking at airport parking in the summer. Had to drive my gasoline car 140 miles roundtrip in Houston traffic (ba Humbug) because I could not trust Tes sitting for two weeks in...

Had to put some gas in the truck which I seldom drive any more and was shocked that it cost $40.00 for only 11 gallons of gas, to fill it less than half. Down here in Texas thats probably cheap compared to California and other places. Some day soon I'll get around to calculating how far my...

There are earlier adopters and there are "never adopters". I live in oil country where virtually everyone is a "never adopters" including friends, family' and everyone I run into. Now that the media is back on the FUD I've re-evaluated my strategy when explaining why I have a Tesla. First...

Seeing some recent YouTube videos of how well FSD is working and from my own limited driving on a one month subscription I'm wondering about continuing with a subscription or buying it outright for $15,000 for future reselling of the vehicle. I know predicting the future is difficult but lets...

I've often wondered what the Tesla stock price would be if the detractors were not manipulating the stock price to keep it down. Granted, some were just doing it as normal day trading activities. But, it seems suspicious that on days of Tesla successes the stock would go down.

Is it possible to increase the speed that Tesla will emergency brake. On the long stretch of freeway speed limit is 55MPH while traffic is consistently around 75MPH. It is ridiculous to drive only 60MPH in this situation, but above 60MPH (55+5) I get the warning will not Emergency Brake...

Is it possible to get auto lane change without paying the full $199 price of a FSD subscription?

I have concern that the extra large, nearly horizontal windshield will let in too much heat in these hot 100 degrF heat summer days. Anyone else concerned about this

On the far southeast side of sprawling Houston in League city there is a new showroom that is replacing a BMW facility. Is this a sign of things to come? well maybe, but I like it. Particularly it beats taking your life in your hands to travel 50 miles in congested houston freeways and all...

I could not get sentry mode turned off from the app, tried about a dozen or more times with no response. I was called away so I left it and forgot to come back. It was about 4 days. Car was in my garage and I was in there frequently during the day, probably triggering it. So, what happens...

Never thought of it this way before: it used to be said that people don't think about how much a car cost in terms of the total price but rather how much they have to pay at the end of the month. I'm retired and don't do a lot of driving but still I'm seeing about a hundred dollar saving per...

My Y road trip would have kept me guessing as to whether I could make it to to the next Tesla supercharger, so I overcharged and made more stops. The problem was that I couldn't trust what the app said would be the SOC at the next Tesla charger. I never let it get lower than about 40%. I...

Has there been any enhancements added to the basic autopilot in the last year? It seems like auto pilot has done some things that have made driving safer. I'm thinking that with all the knowledge and developments gained from FSD some may have been added to basic auto pilot strictly for safety...

would/could FSD beta lull one into being inattentive? I know in order to get Beta we are challenged to be hyper alert and paranoid about it. so here is the potential example even with only Auto Pilot. You can engage auto pilot while following the car in front and if that car stops for a...

every time after wife drives, the seat position goes to her profile. Seems to me since Tess senses its me cuz my phone is what allows access it should go to my profiled seat position before crushing me up into the steering wheel. I know, it goes to easy entry first which is good. But after...

As I pulled into the carport and my wife's phone conversation from inside the house came into the cars audio system. Carport is adjacent to the study where she was. Also when I got into the car her profile came up and I had to switch it to mine on the screen. I did have my phone with me...

If I change paint color to white will I go to the end of the line? I understand the price will increase to whatever it is now.

Is anyone backing into parking spaces in order to have better cross traffic vision by pulling out instead of backing out?

I see there are a lot of videos of accidents that have been avoided by Tesla automobiles. In these videos it is unclear if either the auto steer or traffic aware cruise control was engaged at the time. I did a quick cursory look in the model 3 manual (hundred something page pdf) and it was...

I've read that sound insulation that one finds in a luxury vehicle adds extra weight of around 200 lbs. Also that Tesla did not install good sound insulation materials because it would penalize the range. Now that the range of the X is 371 miles perhaps the extra weight of good sound...

has anyone removed the inner side of the door or seen what's in there? I'm trying to see if insulation can be added to reduce traffic noise. it sounds like I'm in an open cockpit driving on the freeway.

why do model X windows lower half an inch before door opens?

I could order a tri motor if it is the 1st to be produced and maybe get it before my November 24 2019 dual motor. current estimate of delivery of the dual motor is January of 2022.

I am a big fan of Tesla. But.... after test driving both the Model X and Y the question is why is there a lack of insulation to deaden the sounds of outside traffic? To be clear, it is not wind or road noise, it is cars and trucks passing on the city freeways. It was so bad that the...
