Yes I did that more than once. I also tried two different superchargers. The problem was with the car somewhere.

Hi, I had the same experience, they could not duplicate the issue. After that, it did not happen again, though I only had it for another three weeks. While I was there I test drove a new one, and decided to sell mine and buy a new ultra red one. Solved that problem in the most expensive way...

One thing I found interesting - my replacement battery - a reconditioned one - was actually better than my original battery. At 90%, it showed about 8 more miles available than my original battery did when new. I also noticed that the replacement battery would only drop about 8% of the battery...

Both my 2019 performance X, and my brother’s 2019 performance S had our HV batteries replaced within a couple of months of each other last fall. We bought them in the same month, August. 2019. Mine has about 44k miles, his less than 10K, (he also drives a new Corvette). Took a month at Orlando...

I went down to West Palm to check out the red. Just got my VIN for a silver, changed it to the red, worth the delay. This one had A black interior, otherwise I would have bought it. Beautiful color.

Thanks!

So my 2019 dual motor X died at a supercharger last weekend and had to be towed. Tesla is saying it needs a new HV battery, but can’t give me an estimate on how long it will take. They have had it a week now, Anybody gotten a new battery lately?

Yes, but the supercharger did not work either, as I stated in my second post

It did not yesterday, as I said in my 2nd post, but when I got home, the wall charger suddenly worked. Drove for a short bit today, and the wall charger worked again, so I suspect a supercharger will work as well, but I should test that.

No, I don’t have it on a scheduled charge time. I just took it to a nearby supercharger, and got the same message, port turned blue, stayed blue. Drove it home, now 22% remaining. Plugged it in again to the wall charger, lo and behold it’s now charging. I just updated to the latest V11 the night...

2019 X dual motor. Plugged the car in at home after a trip to West Palm. Battery is at 30%. Light turns blue at the charging port, stays blue. Car says ready to charge, check charger power (Tesla home charger), but the light is green on the charger. Reset the breaker for the charger several...

While there certainly are some haters out there, there is no doubt in my mind that EV’s will someday be the standard. I’m from the boomer generation, live in a generally conservative area, and everywhere I go, kids give me thumbs up, and I regularly get questions in parking lots from adults of...

I don’t have the shudder, but I do experience a knocking sound from the front when hard acceleration is used. Had it for a couple of months now. 22,000 miles. Thinking that’s the beginning. 2019 Performance X, August delivery. I’ve kept the suspension on low since that option was offered. Once...

You are right. My wife just showed me this video, and I had no idea automation was so advanced. I take it all back.

You have no idea what you are talking about, and I’m not particularly interested in correcting your misconceptions. Good day to you.

Been flying highly automated aircraft for over 40 years. I will never feel comfortable not monitoring my car, level 5 or not. It will never, ever be 100% foolproof. Computers screw up all the time, programming is done by humans who are fallible, machines break, unforeseen circumstances that...

Yes, I believe you are probably right about the latter.

I never said make it mandatory. But I think they should offer it. I have absolutely no idea how many people decline to read manuals or training, because my experience on that is very different than yours, at least in my profession. Just because you believe most people ignore training is not a...

I think a live person would be nice if only answer any questions. I spent a lot of time watching videos and reading the manual before I picked up my car, and still had a small list of questions for my agent on delivery day, and they did spend some time with me.

Coming from a professional pilot career, and after watching many of the videos of FSD in town autopilot, I am beginning to feel as the autopilot becomes more capable, and if they release city FSD with the “confirmation” required in many instances, Tesla should institute at least a rudimentary...

I know next to nothing about the details of internet service types, but I can tell you you that water supplies are not generally run to rural areas. In rural areas the vast majority of water is supplied by wells dug on the property. Sewage is handled with holding tanks and drain fields, also on...

I am one of those folks with crappy internet service. We depend on a tower in our neighborhood to beam to another tower two miles away, and then I believe another tower several more miles away before it gets to a hard system of cable, or whatever it is. It’s better than Hughes net, as weather...

I haven’t watched all the videos, but I am curious if there have been any where a four lane road becomes two lanes, and the right lane that disappears is a must turn right lane. I travel a road like this every time I go to the grocery, and always get in the left lane very early, as there is very...

Autopilots are not used for takeoff roll, it's up to the pilot flying that leg when to turn it on. They are usually turned on once the aircraft is stabilized in the climbout, but it varies pilot to pilot. I like hand flying, so I might keep it off a little longer. Autopilots are used in most...

I don’t know how you can make that comparison unless you have personal experience flying in a Blue Angel aircraft, and also have experience using beta city FSD, this is purely conjecture on your part. That’s fine, you are entitled to an opinion, but without real world experience in both, it’s...

I have to respectfully disagree with your second sentence. Monitoring a system is not anywhere near as much work as doing it all yourself. I spent thousands of hours early in my career hand flying commuter aircraft, shooting approaches to minimums in all kinds of weather, no autopilot...

No doubt Elon may have said this, I admire him very much for what he has accomplished, and his vision and commitment,I truly believe he is one of the greatest visionaries we have seen in the last two centuries, but I do take some things he says with a grain of salt. I doubt the pilot was...

As a professional pilot for 45 years, I love this stuff, and can't wait for it to come to my car, but I will never think of it as anything more than workload reduction software, no matter how sophisticated it becomes. I've been too long in cockpits staying prepared for anything and everything...

I have been the beneficiary of a modest generation skipping trust for going on 40 years. The trust pays income to me, but the principal will go to who I designate in my will, avoiding any inheritance tax. The trust is held at an established, fairly conservative institution, with an approximate...

Yes, it surprised me at first. The fact is, the car itself convinces folks to pay attention, I know up until I took my first test drive, I kind of thought it was not much more than a faster, larger golf cart, even though I had already done some reading and research, I had no idea what they were...

I live in a very rural and pretty conservative area. In the year I’ve owned my car, I have gotten mostly love from the pickup truck crowd, (I have one myself) wherever I go, and asked many questions, especially from the younger guys. I haven’t lost a “comparison” yet, and almost always get a...

Today my car is one year old, well ownership-wise anyway. It would have had a lot more miles, had this pandemic not come along. I have a 2019 Performance X, with FSD. it was delivered with 5 miles on the odometer. At 90% charge, my mileage indicated a range of 270 miles the day I picked it up...

Why stop there? We subsidize all kinds of poor behavior in healthcare. Heart disease kills the majority of Americans, if someone walks into a McDonalds, shouldn’t they sign this form too?

Then you are making the assumption that taking down active cases means they have recovered, when the article states quite clearly the DOH has no good definition of recovery. You are just having fun with math.

For those who were posting about the lack of recoveries in FL, I can’t go through this morass to see if this has already been posted, but the DOH here is not tracking recovery data. Why don't we know how many people have recovered from COVID-19 in Florida? An explanation

I picked up my performance raven X on August 1, it had 5 miles on it, and showed 270 range @ 90% charge. It now has 12,750 miles, and shows 269 miles at 90% charge. I have supercharged about 10 times, never above 80% when supercharging, gone on a few trips that took it as low as 13%, but all the...

My 90% was 270 miles when I picked it up Aug 1, 2019 with five miles on the odometer. About 3 months ago my 90% dropped to 269 miles. Today, at 12,300 miles and nearly seven months, it’s still 269. I have never charged to 100% (haven’t needed to), keep it plugged in at home, set to 90% charge. I...

I will never buy another car with a regular windshield. I love that X windshield. I get claustrophobic in my truck, or any other car, when I drive it now. I keep a baseball cap in the door for the sun when the visor won’t get it.

Been thinking about putting a “drill, baby drill” bumper sticker on my X just to watch everybody's head explode.

I just hit the music icon at the bottom of the screen, and the music controls go away leaving only the map. Don’t know how to default it not coming up in the first place, but this gets rid of it and takes but a second. It stays down for me until I shut the car off.

That’s odd, mine is a July 2019 build and does have HW3. I have cones and visualizations

As a former competition aerobatic and airshow pilot, I will say the G’s effect on the human body in a car is much less likely to cause one to pass out than in an aircraft, for the simple reason that the blood is not pulled out of the brain as badly in a car because of your seating position. In...

I was enjoying the new visualizations today, and when leaving the grocery was turning left onto a two lane road with a large divider in the middle, and limited vision of the traffic coming from the right because of vegetation in the divider. Which got me to wondering, will the car be able to...

Back to you, why do you feel any standards need to be set, when as far as I can see, all efforts of EV manufactures are already to already get the best possible MPGe they can? That’s a part of getting better range in EV’s, not so much in ICE EV’s and ICE vehicles are very different, and...

No, I believe it’s a slightly different situation, for a couple of reasons. I could be wrong on some of this, it’s not my area of expertise, but this is how I see it. Range is far more important component to EV ownership than it is to ICE vehicles. Perception of the lack of EV range (the FUD)...

Why do you feel government intervention is needed here? It’s in all EV manufacturer’s best interests to provide vehicles with as much range as possible, as that will draw more people to buy their product. So far no one has matched Tesla in this respect, but the competition among manufacturers to...

Cool. Glad it’s worked great for you. I really didn’t want to move after the hurricanes, though perhaps I could find less expensive insurance costs elsewhere, I like it where I am. So you are right, my choice of staying here led me to have much higher insurance rates than you. This article is...

How long have you lived here? Do you live in southern Florida? Have you had hurricanes directly in your area? I have had two, a cat 2 and a cat 3 pass right over our neighborhood, 3 weeks apart. What are your deductibles? How much extra stuff to you have insured besides your house? How much...

Thought this was well said. I have a reservation for a tri-motor.
