    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    I feel for you. But also for myself. Purchased a MY this week. I would have definitely purchased a MX if I had known. I contact the sales people to ask if I can exchange (and of course pay the difference) since the car is only 3 days old. Answer seems to be a resounding no. I don't know if I...

    I got HW 4.0 but NO FSD Beta

    I am in the same situation. Reading this and other forums seems to contain a lot of conflicting information on when we can expect a software update to enable FSD. Has anyone who transferred from another car to a MY, presumably all of which have HW4, gotten the software update and have FSD...

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    I was planning on ordering and picking up a MY that shows in inventory as soon as possible, hopefully early next week. I have a buyer who has been patient and is very anxious to close the deal. I understand that I need to be in possession of the MY before I transfer the title and registration to...

    2018 M3 AWD LR, FSD, Blue on white, 19 inch wheels, 43,000 miles

Includes installed Tesla roof rack (if you want), brand new, unused winter mats, in addition to the OEM Tesla fabric mats. I also have winter wheels and tires at my home in Salt...

    Salt Lake City superchargers

    I know what the unit price is of each time I charge. But is there a way to determine before charging what the price will be? Also, is it really possible that the prices per kWh varies so much for different charges a mile apart?

    Salt Lake City superchargers

    I am in Salt Lake City for a few months and rely on supercharging. There are 3 locations, all within a few miles of each other. I was looking at my account and the price/kWh for charing in the three locations varies dramatically. The unit price at the new V3 charger on S 300W was $0.32/kWh; at...

    Calculating Safety Score - TACC

    I live up a very steep 1500 climb from the valley. My driveway is also a 20% grade. There are lots of turns, and several stop signs. I cannot get my safety score above 90, even if I go 10 mph on the way down the from the foothills to valley floor. Gravity is not to be defied, especially on...

    inside sidewall tire damage

    Any suggestion for new tires, other than the OEM contis? Tire rack is pushing Bridgestone Ruanza QuietTrack, but worried about efficiency loss, and slightly lower speed rating (V instead of W).

    inside sidewall tire damage

    I also have had bulge damage on low profile tires on my BMW. But never a cut like these. So, hopefully the engineers at Continental will have some explanation.

    inside sidewall tire damage

    I have turned off the Sentry mode setting that disables it at home. But I do have security cameras and did not pick up anyone in my driveway. So, I really doubt it is vandalism, and local cops report no similar incidents. Also, as I said, it would be strange to make the cuts on the inside of the...

    inside sidewall tire damage

    The car has been parked in a few locations, but not at work, since it was the weekend. Also, the cuts are on the inside of the tire. I guess it is possible for someone to lie on the ground and cut the inside with a knife. But that would be even more bizarre. I do have Sentry mode, but it is not...

    inside sidewall tire damage

    Yesterday both the front and rear interior sidewall on the left hand side of my car had a clean cut, around 3/4 inch long. It was perpendicular to the rim. Both the cuts were identical. I did drive over a rough patch of road and was aware of going over a manhole cover that was raised above the...

    Replacing cabin air filters without using Evaporator coil cleaner spray

    I have changed my filters but occasionally still have a bad smell. Tesla said they want $105 to sanitize the system, which does not include changing the filters. Are others having the sanitizing done under warranty? The filters are of course a wear item, but it seems that if these cars routinely...

    Cross Country NY to LA road trip with V9 FSD

    Good idea. I actually started looking into the possibility today. It's an expensive proposition, driven in large measure by the exorbitant cost of insurance (for what is a pricey bike) which puts the shipping price at a few hundred dollars Fedex air. But still may do it. One downside is that I...

    Cross Country NY to LA road trip with V9 FSD

    I am driving from Salt Lake to upstate NY, leaving over the weekend in my LR. I recently did the drive from SF to SLC, with a bike on top. I had to stop at almost every supercharger. I am struggling to get everything I need to transport in the car this time, including the bike because the loss...

    Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3

    I am completing my second winter with the R3s. I live up in the canyons outside of Salt Lake where snow is usually (not this winter) a daily occurrence. I will not go into performance issues since I've posted about this elsewhere. But I can tell you that I will be only getting around 15K miles...

    Car transport companies with Tesla experience

    I have shipped my M3 across the country 3 times with 3 different brokers. Best experience has been with Red Carpet Transport Solutions. Ask for Erik and Tanya. If you want, please tell them that David referred you -- not that it really makes any difference since I have not financial or other...

    Tilted bikes

    There is no left and right. And if you look at the racks, they certainly have a significant grade of a few degrees. So, nothing wrong with the bike racks and their installation. They have been on several cars with level cross bars and don't lean.

    Tilted bikes

    I did move them closer, and found there was little improvement. I did not move them as close to the center as possible, since first, there is a fair amount of lateral movement (probably 3 inches), and certainly did not want to run the risk of them touching handlebars, and second, when they are...

    Tilted bikes

    I have Tesla bars and mounted my bikes on my Thule racks. It was a little worrisome that they are very slanted, owing to the slip on cross bars. The rack hasn't failed, but I would be happier if they were level.

    Trading Model 3 with FSD for Model Y with FSD [complaint about FSD pricing].

    I agree that this is not a surprise, and is consistent with some (although not all) other high appreciation luxury cars. Anyone who gets taken in by Musk's nonsense about a non-appreciating asset is fooling themselves. It's just another car with a high rate of depreciation.

    Favorite part about 2020.48.26... changing the charging threshold

    Yes, same thing happened to me. I woke up the morning after the update and car was charged to 95%. Annoying.

    Trading Model 3 with FSD for Model Y with FSD [complaint about FSD pricing].

    I also considered my 2018 M3 AWD LR with FSD (also payed 7K) with 16000 miles for a comparably equipped Y. They offered me $42000. So the price difference to upgrade would be 20K, not including additional tax on the price difference. Also, noteworthy is the depreciation on the car. Netting out...

    Cross Country Tesla Shipping

    I have shipped my car twice to/from east coast to CA on an open carrier. It has cost me $1500 or $1600. The two experiences couldn't have been more different, in terms of the care of the car and the communication from the driver. I think the main issue is to find a broker you can trust. Many are...

    Ticket for Lane change

    I pleaded not-guilty to the ticket and it was dismissed by the district attorney without a trial.

    Our Model 3, 2 years later

    I check this morning. Exactly what my range showed: 272 at 90%. That being said, my mileage is only 13,000, and the car is 18 months old. Not great, especially if the range loss continues at this pace. Is range loss more a function of time or distance - understanding that there are all sorts of...

    Ticket for Lane change

    I absolutely did not cut anyone off. The vehicle was changing lanes, not abruptly, to pass the car in front of me, when the cop came up on me at a speed far in excess of the speed limit. The lane change was a result of the slow speed of the vehicle in front of me. Furthermore, after passing the...

    Ticket for Lane change

    I am definitely going to go after the dash cam. As I said (in the revised post), she was definitely moving far faster than the speed limit with no sirens or lights.

    Ticket for Lane change

    Yes there was a car in the right lane in front of me going far below the speed limit. Additionally, in reviewing the the car had the left turn signal on as it was switching lanes and at a leisurely pace -- again moving forward at the speed limit -- and the cop comes barreling up the road at...

    Ticket for Lane change

    It was after midnight when I very agitated that I was sharing my story. There is only one small revision. The citation states: MOVED FROM LANE UNSAFELY. Having reviewed the attached rear and side view videos, it is really not clear what she is referring to since there are two lane changes from...

    Ticket for Lane change

    OMG. Found all the clips. The car behaved impeccably. I have reviewed all the cameras. The car never got anywhere near cutting her off. She was not in the right lane when it moved from left to right. The car was always perfectly centered in the lanes, and took a very sharp hairpin exit and never...

    Ticket for Lane change

    I was driving up on a two lane divided highway with Navigate on Autopilot activated (I have FSD) and in the left a lane as I was approaching my exit. The car rather abruptly changed lanes so it could exit. After we exited, I was pulled over by a State Trooper who said I cut her off. I was given...

    Model 3 HW3 retrofit questions, wait time, issues

    I recently upgraded to HW3 and on 2020.16.2.1. There still is no recognition of stop lights or stop signs, even though I have FSD. I thought that after the upgrade I would have at least seen these visualizations.

    Drop in range after update to 2019.36.2.1

    Since the update, my LR AWD range at 80% has dropped from 241 to 237. This implies that the range is only 296. Any idea why, has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned?

    Winter issues, frozen windows, door locks, seals, etc.

    I am also storing my car for winter (but for a different reason having put 10K miles in the snow last winter). I am curious about the choice to leave the charger plugged in (instead of, for example, charging to 80 percent, and then recharging once it gets to 20%), and more specifically, why you...

    Vampire drain/losses are high again

    Loss is a strange phenomenon, but I just got back to my car after sitting for 12 days and lost 9 miles. During the winter I often lost 20+ miles when the car was parked outside in 30 degree temps.

    Lost FSD earlier this week

    I purchased FSD for 2K option, having previously purchased EAP. FSD has never appeared on my account.

    Winter tire wear

    My car is AWD. I put the snows on December 2 and removed them April 13. Anything short of that would be crazy given where I live. This year we received around 650 inches according to the snow stake which is up around 500 foot above the elevation of my house, and it is currently snowing. My...

    Winter tire wear

    I appreciate the concern over temps. Living in Salt Lake City and driving daily down from 8500 to 4500 feet in elevation results in a wide range of temperatures. But, the reality is that I am on snow covered roads several time a week from late November to mid-April.

    Winter tire wear

    That is disconcerting. Even assuming I rotate the tires, I will get less than 20K miles from the tires at this rate. I know the car is heavy, but I thought the weight was quite evenly distributed. I should also note that my use of the car is for the most part quite gentle.

    Winter tire wear

    I just removed my Nokian Hakka R3 snow tires mounted on dedicted 18 inch OEM Tesla wheels. The tires have 8,000 miles. The tread depth on the fronts is 10/32 and the rears is 7/32. Both front and rear have perfectly even wear. Tire inflation was always exactly as recommended. I am astonished by...
