Don't bother with service as they'll do nothing for you. The feature is working exactly how Tesla intends it to - wipers are set to auto when engaging TACC or Autosteer. Not a bug, a feature. The problem is Full Self Wiping is garbage and probably always will be given Tesla's now 8-year-old...

Yes, so far so good… I usually charge lower than the max ~11kw rate to match my solar output, usually 6-7kw. That might help overall.

I have an external wall connector installed in almost identical conditions to what you describe in internal California with summer temps regularly above 40C. No problems to speak of thus far. If you did notice throttling, I think any sort of temporary shade you could provide the unit to keep...

Opinions aren’t really important though in this instance. There’s nothing wrong with running a lithium battery very low, and the “mid 20s” is a complete non-concern. On the other hand, studies show that calendar based degradation increases measurably above ~55%, so plenty of good reason to...

Model S sales are a tiny fraction of the 3/Y. Much smaller potential market for aftermarket companies to design parts for and make money from.

They have FSD so they’re “discounted” if you believe FSD is worth anywhere near $8k. But I generally agree those prices are nutso. @justinishere , are you not eligible for the federal tax credit? If you are, I would 100% buy a new car with a full warranty and without FSD, then subscribe to...

No.

That would be pretty ridiculous indeed.

There are no “lease terms” that prohibit you from charging any car to 100% every single day if you want to. That’s not a thing. They aren’t.

How many MuskHuffers are still willing to defend the company’s actions as calculated and rational after today and the leaked supplier email? This is the result of an egomaniacal billionaire amped up on ketamine receiving pushback from a woman and showing the world who’s boss to preserve his...

Did you send an "email" to "[email protected]" like instructed to do in the warranty document and arbitration provision if you have a concern or claim? (I'm not particularly convinced this will get you any further, but it IS what they ask you to do, not send "registered" letters to Elon)...

Because it remains their largest competitive advantage and sells lots of cars... something they're having some challenges with at the moment? Also, since when is Tesla not "the private sector?"

No, I had a 2016 S75. Sold September of last year for $20k. 175k miles. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/dec-2016-model-s-75-original-owner-sc01-fusc-mcu2-ap3-eap.310275/

My experience was great as a seller. They were fast, communicative, and everything went off without a hitch. They knew the buyer was interested in the used EV credit and asked me clarifying questions to confirm eligibility prior to completing the transaction. I registered with Keysavvy and...

Ahem, Tesla calls those "shift leads"

My understanding is that service center staff were hit pretty hard in the first round.

Tesla has no independent board. They’re all hand-picked Elon apologists and relatives.

Yeah dawg, you lost me there.

I don’t think that term means what you think it does. Referring to you as a white knight is literally in reference to your argument and the position you are maintaining in constant defense of Musk. “How stupid do you have to be to blindly defend Musk in spite of so much evidence to the...

The white knight rides again… apparently @KelvinMace ’s direct words and intentions are up for debate and dissection but those of the CEO of the company being discussed are off limits. A mountain of tweets amplifying unhinged racist theories and antisemitic tropes are now “hearsay”… 😂

Head of HR has apparently left the company now too…

That’s exactly why. It’s a must-stop site for most on a major east-west thoroughfare, right in the middle of two major metropolitan areas, and it’s been a problem during peak holiday travel times in the past.

There are no threats of violence or mob mentality on display here. Your assertion that there is is another tell of the white knight. We know what happened, it's plainly obvious and reported on by countless sources at this point. The only way you can maintain your feigned neutrality is to place...

Willfully ignoring reams of evidence that suggest an ongoing escalation of an alarming pattern doesn’t automatically give you the moral high ground or claim to the voice of reason. The problem is it’s very difficult for anyone paying attention to see such “neutrality” as anything other than...

I wasn't talking about "investment" in your evangelical and narrow interpretation of what that implies, as I clarified later in my post. You seem to be stuck on the idea that how you buy your cars and only use cash and only buy used except when you don't minimizes your exposure to the...

Nobody mentioned "investment" but you... The ability to charge, service, and maintain my cars with the backing of a reliable, functional, and long-term viable company has a material impact on my finances. Not just because I bought a car, but because reliable and serviceable cars are material to...

Once again, "be ignorant and pretend something isn't happening that has a material impact on you and choices you have made" is not a serious response, just a dismissive sideshow to the actual problem being discussed.

Judging from your signature close to but not quite as many as you, yes.

This is naive and unrealistic when the individual at hand has a material impact on financial choices I've made. "Just don't pay attention and pretend it isn't happening" isn't a serious solution to a serious problem.

If the “stuff the CEO is doing” is actively imploding the company and their ability to support my charging, service, and maintenance needs, then yes. Although I suppose the safest car is the one you can’t drive, so maybe you’re on to something! The only thing I generally hope for in this...

That much is obvious, given the contortions in this thread by the cult of Elon to explain it away as intelligent and calculated. 👍🏻 Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

Are we sharing this example as rationale? Firing *everyone* in a rage fit because a woman manager pushed back to protect her staff tells me just about everything I need to know about the guy.

The presence of a LDU at all should confirm it’s a P, as the 85D has two small drive units…

Truer words... ;)

I agree with this. There's no way Tesla signed contracts with all these other manufacturers that compel them to keep running the network or expanding it in any way.

It kinda blows my mind that there are still people vehemently defending this as calculated and logical.

Most notably Musk. This has ZERO tells or hallmarks of a thought-out plan. It’s pure emotional reaction from someone with increasingly unhealthy and unhinged emotions.

You will be very hard pressed to get any reasonable ROI on a single powerwall, so don’t make it a financial decision. Will Tesla sell a PW3 right now without their own solar? I kinda assumed no since the inverter is built in.

That'll be ~$1800 please https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/power-conversion-system-pcs-failure.200198/

Looks like one of the Branch Elonians left the TSLA shareholder thread compound to spray a bunch of downvotes 😂

Hmm, good question. Hadn’t thought of that.

Here's what I'd try: Set the S to your local profile and let the seat adjust to your preferred setting. Switch to the cloud profile and immediately stop the seat from adjusting - if you provide any input to the seat controls it should stop trying to adjust to whatever the stored position is...

I think this is exactly the right sentiment... "in spite of". There were a lot of early years where Tesla survived because of him, but that's just not the case any more. The company would be better off without him in 2024.

Hard to read this as anything other than yet another knee-jerk reaction by an increasingly unhinged and mercurial leader. Man oh man do I hope shareholders wake up and shoot down his criminal $55 Billion compensation plan.

Did you fix the seating position in the S and save it to the cloud profile? We have a 3 and a Y that we both share, both with cloud profiles, and it remembers the correct seating position and settings for each car. Adjusting the seat in one car does not affect the other. Seems to me your...

S/X remain relatively complex and expensive to produce. For all the minor improvements they are manufactured more or less the same way they were a dozen years ago. I don't think they could hit a $55k price target - that would also maintain a margin that would make it worth their while -...

I kinda assume every used performance car has a graph that looks more or less like that.

This is really the way… it’s the only option to ensure reliable fast charging across a range of devices. Charging pads that don’t have alignment mechanisms are necessarily going to be a compromise because of varying phone form factors. My iPhone 13 Pro charges reasonably well on the Model 3/Y...

Dash cam footage rolls over pretty quickly unless you save a clip by tapping the icon on the screen. I also recommend enabling the automatic save on honk option - then a clip will be saved any time you use your horn.

Setting aside the rest of your rant - if you need more range, charge more. This argument that your range is lower because you refuse to change above 80% is nonsense. If you need more range, you have it literally any time you need it. As for me - I put almost 200,000 miles on a 2016 Model S 75...
