Retrospective thread-summary pseudo-wiki for quick access: What is it? "Gee, I wish my Tesla, despite having access to the country's biggest quick charging network, could also charge on stations made for Other EVs too". Said no-one ever. Except... well, there are use cases for it. And with Tesla...

Typically, in a beta, the goal is to get feedback and work with testers - tell them what ought to be tested more than others, what known issues they're working on, and generally be communicative with testers to know they're actually paying attention. So far, my ~month of experience with FSD Beta...

I've searched and dug, I can't seem to find any thread about this. A bit surprising, considering the prevalence of the issue. (Before you think I'm an FSD/AP critic... I created the "I'm probably not driving" sticker & have been making as much noise as possible to get in on FSD Beta. I find it...

From the maker of Bumper Sticker/Magnet "I'm probably not driving" finally comes the natural progression... Caution: Student Robotaxi :) Magnet (3 and Y trunk lid) here for $9.99 shipped: CAUTION: STUDENT ROBOTAXI - MAGNET for Tesla Autopilot bumper sticker/decal | eBay Sticker (S/X or...

Background: I've got a 2018 Model 3 with FSD and HW3 retrofit since Feb 2020. These things: Anything that contains even a potentially flashing warning light seems to be misclassified, and reacted to, as a full-fledged traffic light. Railroad crossings (lights), pedestrian crossing (lights)...

With a recent update, there was a new feature added that sends notifications for windows/doors left open. That could occasionally be useful. The grand majority of the time, it's not useful - because my car is parked at home in the garage, where I leave the windows down. Or I'm at work, and the...

Today I went to try Summon. I went to the Tesla app, and hesitantly (with a groan, anticipating stupid issues as usual) opened the Summon page. It stuck at "Waiting for improved phone location accuracy". I go to Google Maps. Grey dot. Blue dot with big circle. Blue dot with little circle. Blue...

For a while, I thought it'd be good to indicate that I'm on Autopilot. A blue light, maybe? "You're arguing with a computer"... After lots of thought, I ended up settling on this. It matches the same font and style as the notifications in the car, because why not? Also, one in white as it looks...

I bet you didn't. I'll bet you're thinking right now, "no, that's nonsense, that can't be right, let me get in this thread and tell this idiot off". Or maybe "what makes you think that, where'd you get that data?". Perhaps "no, that's just because DC charging causes the battery to heat up"...

So, anyone else with Tesla insurance experiencing this odd quirk? I imagine it'd only be rearing its head right about now, as I got Tesla insurance just as soon as it was available (it was significantly cheaper than my existing plan, for significantly better coverage in all categories). Opened...

tl;dr: miles/kwh converter Since I got the Model 3, I've been frustrated by the Wh/Mile display. Living with a Leaf since 2012, and living with MPG and the concept of "higher is better" my entire life, the whole idea of Wh/Mile and "lower is better" is completely nutty to me. Maybe the bulk of...

Scenario: Model 3 LR/RWD. Freeway traffic, going full speed but comfortably stacked/spaced to each other. TACC set to 70, car doing 68, spacing set to "6". A car in the lane to the right signals to change lanes, matches speed, and fits nicely into the "6" spaced gap between me and the next car...

I can't seem to get the front USB ports to charge... it charges for a few seconds, then stops, then charges, then stops, then charges, then stops... like the USB supply in the car is so appallingly wimpy that charging a phone overloads it. First tried it with an Anker PowerLine 1-foot MicroUSB...
