    FSD now $99 a month

    That’s wayyyy too deep for me. For me, it’s what I’m willing to pay for within EAP ($20/month) that makes it more enjoyable….auto lane change. Period. Summon will add another $5 when it works…same for banish eventually. I’d pay $30/month. Repeat, I LIKE to drive my car.

    FSD now $99 a month

    First of all, I’m a Tesla lover (not a hater). It’s an absolute joy to drive my car…and that’s my point…I enjoy driving it! EAP…worth 20/month IMO. FSD…not worth it…period. It’s a fun trick to show friends, especially on roundabouts with no traffic (“hey guys, look, my car can drive itself”)...

    5/32 tread depth on 12850 miles

    I just replaced my Michelins mxm that had 27k (lifetime wh was 240 over 8 seasons here in Indiana) on them. Was down to 2/32 all around. I never rotated…not even once. Go figure. Went with conti dws06 plus. Was between those and pirelli pzero elects but contis were cheaper (900 vs 1075) and...

    Why rotate if wear is even?

    Happy with those all things considered?

    How much are you willing to pay for FSD V12?

    Makes sense. Hey, if it works for you and you are comfy with….use it! For me, when I have a car behind me…left turns are just no good (impatient drivers). Here in Indy we have lots of “circles” or “roundabouts” and the tech just isn’t there yet. And the random jerks and twists here and there...

    How much are you willing to pay for FSD V12?

    Fair points. As an infrequent renter, I find… 1. it’s not bad on the highway, even with traffic. Has its quirks for sure. 2. it’s halfway decent on empty city streets or when there is no traffic. 3. it’s basically useless (to my palette) with city traffic or anything non-standard. So, Sunday...

    How much are you willing to pay for FSD V12?

    Take it from somebody that rents it every few months just for fun and see how close…or far away it is. I just rented a few days ago…first time in five months. I mean, it’s fun, it’s impressive, but we remain YEARS and 1-2 hardware upgrades before it’s hands free.

    Update 2023.20.7 received today... Software hack??

    After sitting and then disappearing for me earlier tonight, it magically reappeared and was ready for install (download completed). I’m certain it disappeared (on both the app and car screen too) for a bit but just leaving it alone somehow restored it. It is what it is.

    Update 2023.20.7 received today... Software hack??

    I think that’s the new norm. I also cannot tell what’s different with 2023.20.7 or .6 for that matter (from 2023.20.4.1). If bug fixes the release notes don’t say, and neither does teslafi.

    Why rotate if wear is even?

    Had my first mobile service…It’s coming up on two years so I decided to change the air filters. While mobile tech was here I had him check tires since I only put air in as needed…no other tire maintenance performed….ever. I was surprised with the even wear….fronts listed as 4mm left and rears...

    Scheduled for tinting in about 2 hours

    It’s illegal here in Indiana but I did 80% on full windshield and glad I did. I did 35 on sides and while I personally can feel a difference between the two (just feels hotter coming through the windshield), I’m happy with both. I cannot tell windshield is tinted when looking at it. Looking...

    New Tesla Model 3 2024

    Yep. Tesla just called me (I requested a call) and confirmed no EAP freebie (even a day before quarter end) and that they wouldn’t even xfer my acc boost. I get it. I knew it going in 18 months ago. Agree that the 3P is a great deal. I think I’ll wait 3-6 months and get me a sure thing model...

    How much are you willing to pay for FSD V12?

    Agree. I did not buy at 10, 12, and certainly not at 15k. I rent the service once a year just to see the improvement….200 a month that is just for entertainment and curiosity. Nothing else. I still believe autonomous driving remains 5+ years away, with HW5 and other enhancements. I do not...

    New Tesla Model 3 2024

    My 21 is paid off but their email trade in offer was 26-31k. I’ll lose my acc boost (2k) and window tint ($750)….and I think I’d buy a 3P…but only if they threw in EAP. Anybody got experience with the inv models being given something (free) like that based on situational circumstance?

    Tires - does this seem right? What to do?

    ‘21 AWD M3LR with stock Michelin mxm tires…just passed 20k miles. First few thousand miles were definitely spirited, but last 15k I drive it like a normal car. Anyway…tire tread report is “3” on both fronts and “6“ on the rears. I have never rotated or had any tire service and keep inflated...

    330 Wh/mile av. over 20K miles. Isn’t it high?

    LR with acc boost, along with stock 18” mxm tires. Driving is about a 50/50 mix of city and highway (77 mph typically) and I removed those ugly aero covers. Regardless of outside temp I keep the “fan“ setting at 1 or 2. Personally I’m quite pleased with my performance but I’m sure the mostly...

    330 Wh/mile av. over 20K miles. Isn’t it high?

    Here’s a data point for ya. In Indiana we have four seasons so there is a mix of hold, cold, and mild. Car is garage kept at home and kept plugged in…so it preconditions on AC power when needed. Windows are tinted (35 on sides, 80 on windshield) which helps some I’m sure but I never saw data...

    How to charge when leaving Tesla at airport -- want to be polite

    My home airport (Indianapolis) has several and I called to ask about details. They told me to just message them before I arrive and they fully charge and preheat them…and that they just rotate them as needed... but as part of that I have to leave them a “key”. I’ll pass…can anybody say Ferris...

    Is FSD Beta going out to cars with 2023.2.0.5 ?

    I just came off a one month subscription trial. I enjoyed it. Wife did not. In fact she forbid me to use with kiddos in car (oh she of lil faith). When I did sign up I immediately was granted beta access. It ended this AM so back to basic autopilot. I‘ll be sure to try again in maybe 4-6...

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Same as everybody else’s. I have been playing with smart summon and for me, it’s worked perfectly every time. I mean it is slow and “deliberate”, but from parking lot spot to restaurant lobby is kinda fun, cool, neat, and slow…all at once. Would be better with 3 or 4x range. But otherwise, I...

    Question about different versions of software

    Go into the restroom of your choice (boys or girls), look in the mirror, slap yourself silly, then return to your normal daily activity. That ought to explain all you need to know about Tesla and their version logic.

    Found a 22 M3 LR .... Something is up.

    You left out the most important detail….price. I’d buy it, for about 35k. Worth the risk at THAT price.

    2022.44.30.5

    “Long time listener, first time subscriber”. Got it two days ago assuming it would be a one month trial only. OMG I cannot believe how amazing it is. Two things will prevent me from renewing: 1. Wife does not like or trust it, so can only use when driving solo (no wife or kiddos). 2. I miss...

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Congrats. I did the same and got it today as well. I already can tell it’s going to be a fun one time use but I highly doubt I’ll renew. I already miss driving 😉

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Whelp…did it. Now in queue for beta. First drive….20 miles mixed highway and city yielded a perfect 100 safety score. Next four weeks will determine renewal decision.

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    Even after reading all the negativity and “it’s a waste” comments, for the first time in 15 months of ownership I have an urge to rent it for a month or two. Even still, I already know what I’ll think of it. My true fear is that I’ll get stuck in the perpetual “oh, just keep it for one more...

    Trade ins are super tempting right now!

    Yea, that too. I only owe 20k, but it’s at a sweet 1.24% rate. I’d either boost another LR or buy a P…at a higher rate. I love my car so I’ll keep as is.
  33. CDennis100

    Trade ins are super tempting right now!

    I tried all the usual online places and my quotes ranged from 22-30.5k. Granted I had an accident with a 20k repair eight months ago. Otherwise, yes, I would have traded my 21 M3LRb in for a ’23. I’d have paid 5k….but no way I’m trading in at this rate…I’d want 38-42ish to pull the trigger.

    Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?

    Traded in my 21 Tahoe for a 22 Tahoe a few months ago. Made 2k to essentially roll 16k miles off the odometer. It mostly sits idle in the garage next to my Tesla…only coming out when seating for 6 is required. I do like the idea of one ICE and one EV…for now and at least a few more years.

    Overcharging set charge %?

    Just started happening to me in the last few weeks….2-3% over my usual set point. Prob started with .7 or maybe .8…I didn’t track that closely. I home charge using 14-30.

    10k review (M3LR).

    Windshield tint expectations

    Gotcha. Had it done two days ago but it’s been in the garage and hasn’t “baked” yet. I’ll take your advice and let it sit idle for a full week. Wondering if others have had the same success over time?

    Windshield tint expectations

    Ok, finally got the windshield done. Pics don’t do it justice but I’m not sure the site did their best work. I have several very small bubbles, mostly on the passenger side. I estimate there are about six visible bubbles. Small enough to see but not significant enough to tell in photos. I‘ve...

    Is anyone interested in an Enhanced Autopilot Subscription?

    Nope. I was in a Tesla provided rental with FSD for three months and that experience proved that ONLY auto lane change was valuable beyond basic AP. I’d buy that as an ala carte option for maybe….$500. That’s it. I’ll be damned if I get into a monthly subscription for EAP for anything beyond...
