1) Suspension: I'm coming up to a speed bump in traffic and want to adjust. How do I do that without going through menus? I thought I could assign a long-press of the left button, but it just says "raising suspension unavailable" or something like that. 2) Follow distance: In my Model 3...

Can anyone confirm they can repeat this in a stalkless model S? Sit in the car, buckle up with the auto-shift feature on (where you just have to tap the brake and the car guesses if you want to go forward or reverse). Now launch a browser and go to abettertheatre.com and launch something in...

My 2019 Model 3 didn't have this. This 2023 Model S has me going, "hmmm" So it shows a speed limit icon, and then sometimes (not all the time) another one pops up overtop of it but offset slightly up and left of the original. It shows the exact same speed, so I don't think its trying to...

Sorry, I would normally be doing my own research but I'm on the road with a tiny phone and spotty connectivity. The 2023 used staggered 255/45R19 and 285/40R19 I believe. I need winter tires and I see a lot of listings for 4x 245/45R19 Is this a suitable setup? Facts only please, but...

It isn't quite as simple as the title suggests. My M3 was written off. I have two insurance policies. The first already paid me what they said the depreciated value was. The second pays me the difference between whatever I buy, and what the first policy paid me, up to the value of a black...

It is just insane that I'm asking this on a forum... but I can't seem to get hold of anyone at Tesla, so here I am. I have been super disappointed with the sales experience this time round (compared to my 2015 and 2019 experiences). Anyway, this time what enticed me to pull the trigger now was...

I bought a 2015 Model S and the purchase, delivery, and service experience was so very good. I bought a 2019 Model 3 and the purchase went fine, but the delivery was so meh. Service was ok. I'm just now trying so hard to buy a 2023 Model Y and it is OMG like pulling teeth! Firstly: out of...

My 2019 Model 3 was written off. I have a mobile charger for it still though. I assume it will work fine with a 2023 Model Y so I can forgo adding that to my order, correct? Thanks.

I'm leaning toward the black and white seats. My wife says they'll get marked and old quick. Anyone regretting their white seats?

I'm a little confused on the loyalty program. It seems to suggest I have to initiate the purchase through the App. The App, as far as I can tell, doesn't show inventory items. The browser website does, but then do I get the loyalty bonus? Anyone know?

I looked at inventory last month and I don't recall the prices being any different from a custom build. If I'm right, then there are some nice discounts right now. But what I don't get is why one example has a different price from an identical other example. For instance, can you tell me...

This may have been discussed ad nauseum, I'm just looking now since my 2019 Model 3 was written off and I'm considering a Y to replace it. Tesla Canada's website reports Model Y long range Dual Motor AWD as having EPA estimated 497km. The same car on the USA site says 330 miles. 330 miles =...

My Model 3 just got written off and I'm considering buying a Y. I have a set of Model 3 winter tires/rims. 18". Are they compatible with the Y?

Tesla says the range of the Performance is lower than that of the Long Range. Is that an assumption because it accelerates faster, etc? Or is it a fact because of the different equipment inside? Put another way: If I drive a performance like a grandma and I drive a LR like a grandma... do I...

I was doing a bit of research into various EVs availably in Canada, and one thing I noticed was the implied exchange rates and how Tesla penalizes Canadians more than any other manufacturer. As like-for-like as I could manage, this is what I found (in all cases I selected as similar options as...

I just learned that my 2019 Model 3 is "not economical to repair". I'm outside of the replacement cost coverage period, so I'll be getting actual cash value, which I'm curious to see how they'll do that with so few FSD vehicles for sale in the area (none, actually. I found one a couple...

I'm just trying to remember if that page showed Canadian dollars and kms, or was it the same as the USA one:

So where I live, the default speed limit (the limit unless otherwise posted) is 50kph. Am I right to assume it must be 25mph in California? Because my car always slows to 40kph on the many, many, MANY roads where the system doesn't seem to know what the speed limit really is. Google tells me...

I've had FSD for about a year in my 2019 Model 3. I had joined the beta, waited patiently, and struggled to keep a high-90's Safety Score (at the time, the rumor was that you had to have 100 to get selected. I couldn't get above 98. I eventually got tired of driving like a grandma and gave...

Admittedly, I stopped my daily paying of attention toward all things Tesla like 2 years ago. My Model 3 had an update a few minutes ago, and it said I could opt-in to FSD beta and gave some simple instructions for doing so, which I did. It seemed to suggest that I'd see a safety score in the...

TL;DR version: Car serviced to add HW3 computer; after picking up, car smells like poop for first 30-60 seconds from the vents This is driving me nuts. About a month ago I drove 4 hours to Tesla Vancouver to have my computer swapped out. They took the car in and it sat over night and they...

Hi peeps. I bought my Model 3 on March 16, 2019 and I'm curious about difference in the Sales agreement between then and later. I'm hoping some fellow Canadians might be willing to post pages 2 and 3 from the document titled "Model 3 Motor Vehicle Order Agreement" (page 1 has personal...

I've wondered this for a while now... is this normal, or is it just me? I thought it was normal until I took the car in for some slight body damage and the bodyshop guy made a comment that my screen was doing strange things. I really had no idea what he was talking about, but then I wonder if...

Not super exciting. But I was impressed with how it handled it. I engaged AP slightly before the beginning of this video and disengaged it right at the end. I didn't expect it to do as well as it did, especially at the beginning.

So just now, I get a notification on my phone from the Tesla App saying "VESA" has an update. Unsure what that meant, I clicked it. it opened up my Tesla App and tried (and failed) to connect to a car called "VESA". I have no idea what that is. In my App settings, I see "Switch to Phoenix"...

Just decided to hit the "save" button on my dash cam to show this. Not a big deal, and nothing dramatic, but this is just a bit of evidence that Autopilot in its current state isn't ready for the streets of my town, at least. The dream of "full self driving" seems painfully far away when a...

I remember how range anxiety was a thing. Charging infrastructure and charging times were my primary concern when shopping for an EV. And I don't want to say it isn't important, but... Our house burned down last July and we've been living in a rental. We can't install a 240V circuit and we...

Hi all. I fully expect to get flamed for this, because... well... that's what happens. But I've got to vent. I'm pissed off. First, a bit of background: I had a Tesla Model S P85D that got lost to a fire last July. I've been dealing with all that crap for the last months, and there's a LOT...

I am sad to report that the Tesla family has lost a member. At least I think so. I've been traveling since the start of the month, having visited Paris and London and currently in the Scottish Highlands. A couple of days ago, we had just finished visiting Edinburgh Castle and were having a...

I drive my friend around in my Model S and he's looking at buying a Model X and he asked me an interesting question that I thought I'd pass on to you guys. Of course, we could just ask Tesla... but I'm curious what you think. He wants a fairly base one, but definitely needs the range of the...

Moderator note (bmah): The first 18 posts of this thread were moved out of the following thread: Firmware Update 2018.14 Lol, so Tesla owners just make up their own acronyms, even when they are describing similar things? No, MCU doesn't mean "Media Control Unit" as per that website. It has...

Please, I'm looking for knowledge, not guesses. I'm planning a trip in a couple of weeks to a friend's cabin, and I'm wanting to know what happens in "worst case scenario". First off, I can't make it from the nearest charger (Tesla or other public) and back again. Just not possible. So I...

Hi there. [TLDR version] Proximity audio alerts not working in my profile only. Visual alerts working. Did resets. Called Tesla and they are stumped. Thoughts? [/TLDR] A few weeks ago, my wife left the car in the snow covered driveway and asked me to back it in because the rear camera was...

In the app, I have preheated my S almost every day this winter, yet I've never seen this icon until today. I'm not known for my powers of observation, so it is possible that I somehow never noticed it, but I don't think so. There appears to be a deliberate little line to the right of the box...

Our other car hasn't gotten much love (or use) since getting the Tesla. Today I found the battery dead enough it wouldn't start. Can I hook up jumper cables from the Tesla to the Honda to jump start the Honda? If so... How? Thanks.

I have an appointment tomorrow at the Vancouver store on 4th. I'm coming from out of town and the car says it'll arrive with 16% charge... not enough for me to get home. I'm assuming they can charge my car while it is being serviced, but I'm not sure I should be assuming. Anyone know for...

The three white ones are all belonging to the same taxi service. They are ALWAYS at this SC. I've not once been here where there hasn't at least been one. In this occasion, I charge very slowly and I can't help but to wonder if it's because of the number of cars. It just has me questioning...

On the day it was announced, on a whim I put in a reservation for the semi. I immediately got a PDF invoice requesting that I send $5000 Canadian dollars to reserve my spot. Unlike the model 3 reservations, these appear to be serialized, and it looks like I'm number 8. 8 in Canada, most...

When I first got my 2015 P85D, I was curious why Tesla would make it so only the rear exterior door handles were illuminated and not the front. Seeing as both my fronts were devoid of lights, I assumed it was a design decision and didn't give it much more thought. Then yesterday I'm sitting at...

I have to acknowledge that it is possible this comes down to coincidence, but hmm... I've never had an update since taking delivery of my car a couple months ago. That didn't bother me except after hearing about the "chill mode" update I got curious about how many versions I was back, and...

A few times I've come across posters mentioning a "hard" reboot vs a soft or normal one. Some go to painstaking detail in outlining the crazy voodoo steps required to engage this magical hard reboot. Some even purport to say there are times when such a reboot is "necessary". I say it is all...

While making a call to Telsa this morning, I couldn't help recalling several incidents where a driver's account differed from Tesla's (here's one example). Generally, it seems, whatever Tesla says happened is taken as the truth. And I believed that too... until this morning's call. I was...

I got my car 6 weeks ago, roughly. I've never had an update that I'm aware of and I'm at version 2017.34 2448cfc. According to teslafi.com, only 2% of cars are on this version (1.6% with AP1). I've read that there's no known way to "trigger" an update, so when can I expect to join the other...

Last night I went to get into the car and it didn't open on the first try. It worked on the 2nd and I didn't give it much thought. But today it happened several times, and at one point I thought I was locked out because it failed 6 or 7 pulls in a row. Eventually it opened. When I got home I...

Summary: If you've installed a proper 50 Amp charging circuit in your home and you have a newer S or X and only get 32A when using your UMC, safely and easily bump that up to 40A by getting an American adapter. Longer Version: I'm writing this for those that might not know. I certainly...

I bought a 2nd hand Model S recently. One thing that managed to escape my eye pre-purchase was that the frunk doesn't appear to close all the way on the driver's side of the leading edge (passenger side does). I figured I'd live with that, but today I was looking at the car and noticed...

I can read and calculate all I want, but nothing competes with experience, so maybe I could ask for some advice? I'm going from my home in West Kelowna, BC to my mother's house in Abbotsford, BC... a trip of 312km but that's through very high mountains and at relatively high speeds (120kph...

It must be a metric thing*, because Canadian Teslas are limited to 32A on the mobile connector while Americans get 40A (don't know about the rest of the world). * Sarcasm What I'm wondering... does anyone know if it is the charger that is limited to 32A? Or the car's programming? If the...

If you just want to know who I'm giving this 5 star review for, go ahead and click the button: I've wanted an S since Day 1, thinking they were the most beautiful cars from the most forward thinking company working toward my goal of ridding at least my roads of fossil fuels. I couldn't afford...

Three part question: 1) Am I missing it somewhere? Can the cruise control not automatically adjust when a new speed zone is identified? The manual seems to indicate "no", but there's been several points I've found where the manual doesn't meet with reality so I figured I'd ask. 2) Assuming...
