No, they didn't, and here is why I know: I left the wheel with them, thinking a shop with "Tire" in their name could at least competently remove a screw and repair a tire. 1. They used clamp weights on my rim, even though it is aluminum and they removed the tape weights. 2. They scored the...

I took my wheel in to an independent garage to have a tire patched after running over a screw. I told them I didn't bring the whole car because I didn't know if they worked on Tesla vehicles, The mechanic said "Oh yeah we work on Tesla's all the time....except for the brakes, because of that...

I think if I crashed my Tesla I would have a hard time turning on too. It should pass once your mood improves.

I can say for a certainty this is patently false. I have owned my Tesla for about 18 months and my phone has not charged anywhere but the Tesla since I started driving the thing. Hell I don't even know where my phone charger is right now. I have a 30-35 minute commute to work each way, and...

Sounds like a lot of the date reviews I got in high school.

My driveway is 160' long, but I cannot figure out to get it to save auto raise in the garage. Since the vehicle is already at max height, and currently in a saved raised state, it does not give me the option of saving it twice when returning home. Then in the morning, when I manually raise it...

This a very irritating feature. My garage has a slope, when exiting to the driveway, that is steep enough to scrape the center of the undercarriage when backing out. This doesn't happen when pulling in, because the end of my driveway has a slight bump, and I have it set to auto raise to max...

I'm still living in fantasy land that someday Tesla will sell me that third motor upgrade. From what I have seen from the teardown, it just bolts in, plugs into another available battery port, and then a software version change. Maybe someday when it is out of warranty I can find an after market...

Sounds like your experience and opinions are very similar to mine. Except I hit a racoon going 85....and ran over a dead deer doing 60...and someone crushed my backend in a parking lot 3 weeks after I bought the car....and someone backed into the front of my car 2 months ago...and I had to...

It's going to be -4 F here tonight. About 20 degrees lower than their test. I'm just hoping it gets me home. 😂

As far as I know the charger monitors current and has built in fault protection. This sounds like the ID.4 is tripping fault protection over and over again. Maybe look to see what the blinking blue light represents. EDIT: Per the user manual for the charger, a blue light indicates...

I agree with you. My point was that he was saying the yoke makes it too different from other vehicles when there are MANY things that are different on a Tesla. The 2 second reference was for its 0-60 time...

Try loaning a Tesla to someone who has never used one. Where's the start button? How do I lock it? How do I turn it off? How do I put it in gear? How do I open the door? The yoke is the least of your worries if you are loaning out a 2 second vehicle.

It's not a new design. Formula 1 cars use yolks, go karts use them, and this isn't even the first Tesla to have one. There are plenty of other examples of yolks in vehicles. Granted the turn ratio should have been adjusted, but I suspect people in general are too stupid to use an adjusted turn...

😂 No the first time was a few weeks after I took delivery. A guy backed in to my rear bumper while I was parked. I was standing right next to it. It felt like watching your dog run out into traffic. $9000 in damage and almost a year before it was finally resolved. Second time I turned left...

Doing great. My car has been hit twice since I bought it. :( Dashcam and Sentry mode saved me from fighting over who was at fault. I plan to write up a post soon about my experiences over the last year and a half of ownership.

LOL, you finally got that name changed. :cool:

You keep mentioning you have a "locked in" price because of when you ordered. Are you sure about that? Look what happened to this person a few years ago. Dealerships are scandalous.

Hey if you married a dude that's your business. 😂 Just because the average Tesla owner is a 54 year old male doesn't mean ALL Tesla owners are. Plenty of people buy things outside a companies targeted audience.

Not that I am saying the MSP doesn't handle better, but you really cannot compare the older MS to the M3P. The refresh handles far better than the older S. I got to drive both and I felt like I was driving a 90's Lincoln town car when I switched from my refresh to a 2018 S. I still don't...

In the MS there is a setting to choose whether all doors or just the driver door unlocks. For the S, I think this setting is to reduce wear on our door handles having to present each time, but I would check to see if your MY has a similar setting in the options menu. One thing that is...

Roundabouts are not an issue. The yoke has a really useful raised edge on the upper outside area that allows you keep pressure on the yoke while turning. I usually rotate the yoke past 90 in slow moving scenarios (like a roundabout) with just my pointer finger on the side of the yoke rotating...

I read everyone else's post but that wall of text on the original post needs some formatting. I test drove the 3, but the cockpit felt claustrophobic for my size. I also had a hard time buying a car without an instrument cluster in front of the steering. I was sold on Tesla based on my Model 3...

This was your first dealership experience. It's not just the Mach E. All dealerships are a pain, full of misinformation and friendly atmosphere until they get the sale. We just bought my wife a new Toyota Highlander and she wanted to crawl under the desk with how I was handling the person...

I did PPF on the front of my car. Someone backed into me. Turns out PPF won't protect against a RAV-4. Still, I bet if I pull the PPF off those dents will look like new.

I would gladly give up a horn entirely if they would just give me a front bumper camera.

We have a few roundabouts in New England, but people are so confused by them that everything moves slowly through the roundabout.

Only the turnpike. Difficult to do hard steering inputs when everyone is doing 100 MPH

I meant for driving. I've turned it past 90 in parking lots, and u-turns are slow maneuvers that don't require any reaction time.

Parking lot accidents maybe, but for road driving after 16 months, I have yet to need to turn the yoke past 90.

The penis drawn on the hood is a nice touch. 😂

I've always liked my yoke, but the blinkers took significant time to get used to. Now I effortlessly use the blinkers like it was always the way to do things. The horn is still a problem. Even after 16 months of driving, every time I try to hit the horn in a panic I can't find it in time. This...

I was driving back from Baltimore to Rhode Island. Charged in New Jersey and my car said I can just go home, arriving with 5% battery remaining. I manually chose another charging stop in Connecticut. I drive way to aggressively to trust a 5% estimate. Plus I absolutely refuse to drive with that...

I figured out this problem, at least for me. My 2021 Model S makes a high pitch whistling sound around 80 MPH when it is cold outside. On some days it is so loud it drowns out the music even when the volume is up at 9. I called Tesla about this and they said they cannot not verify the problem...

Tesla Model 3 Saves Driver In Destructive 75-MPH Rear-End Crash Yikes

If it stops vibrating you have to put more quarters in.

It's not their steering wheel. It's been around since the automobile.

😎

Fun fact about the new remote live camera microphone: I tried playing with it while standing next to my car. When I activated the live camera, the music that was playing when I left the car started playing from the external speaker. When I pressed the microphone button, I could speak, but it...

Does that include my two key FOBs Elon?

I just spoke with USAA again. My VIN is simply listed as a "Model S". Originally they had it listed as a Model S Performance. They said they do not have the ability to change what the vehicle is called. They input the VIN to determine it's name, and what they are fed is what they call it. That...

He's last year's model now so his thread count is old news. 🤣

I keep getting an error saying my SSD is not plugged in, and I cannot figure out how to solve that problem. This is apparently a common issue with Tesla. So right now I would say I am not satisfied. 😛

How have things been? I missed the last 75 pages. I got hit with Covid and spent 5 days with a fever over 101. Finally able to function again. My Tesla misses me. I can hear it quietly sobbing in the garage.

That would be painful as hella ella, ella, eh, eh, eh.

Now when they offer me a third engine upgrade...

This isn't about stopping faster. This is about brake fade from repeated application.

That Plaid thinks it's so cool with that third motor. Why don't you put that third motor down and race me like a man!

Hey Elon, Where is my pay to play acceleration unlock?

I would disagree that someone would not buy the LR for a track car, considering the significant price difference, but I WILL agree that anyone who does that definitely does not have $20k for brakes.
