I'm curious about how those that've had a model 3 for a long time and driven it a long way have been fairing. Like how the battery holds up in the multi-thousand mile range. So far my 2018 model 3 is at 75,000 miles, and still going strong, but I'd love to hear other's experiences! Back when the...

I'm trying out camp mode in my 2018 model 3, to, well, camp. I've encountered a few behaviors that I didn't expect based on what I've read about it. For one thing, the rear USB ports aren't getting any power, which is surprising since everything I've read about camp mode specifically mentions...

I'm curious when (if ever) you expect Tesla vehicles to be capable of (and approved for use with) Level 3 or Level 4 autonomy on highways, allowing the driver to, for example, read a book as the car does the driving. Also curious if you think any existing hardware (HW3 or HW4) will be able to...

Seems an Australian engineering student is aiming to make a relatively universal and affordable ICE to plug-in-hybrid conversion kit, as described in this article by New Atlas. It's a clever proposal, installing the motor between the wheels and brake disks. Given the early stage of the project...

Before Slacker streaming is discontinued at the end of the month, is there any way to export all our favorited songs, so we can transfer them to Spotify or some other streaming service? Especially if there's a way to export the songs most frequently picked for the playlists, that would be fantastic!

Given the general consensus there seems to be that FSD is too expensive for most people at the current $15,000 price, but that's often justified by the claim that once it's complete, it'll be fully capable of functioning as an autonomous robo-taxi, and thus pay for itself, it seems to me that...

My family have shared a single model 3 for years, but will be getting a new one (in addition to keeping the old one, not replacing it) in a few days. Currently, we're both logged into the same account (but with multiple driver profiles), and everything works fine. As far as I can tell from the...

I know this isn't news or anything, but I need to vent a bit. At my apartment complex there are, theoretically, 3 chargepoint chargers. 2 of them (on a single stall) have been out of order for at least 6 months, initially the station appeared to be partway through the setup process, but now it...

It's been big news today, a new California law is requiring ride-sharing companies to treat their drivers as employees, not contractors, and apparently Uber and Lyft have both decided to stop service in California instead of complying with the law. It's a little early, but if Tesla can start...

First of all, a disclaimer that I haven't experienced this personally, but only 2nd hand from my mom. But since the 2020.20.12 update apparently our model 3 (with FSD and HW3) has been behaving weirdly. Yesterday, the car (in autopilot) changed 2 lanes at once while on the freeway (which it...

I've been toying with the idea of trading in my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD for a model Y, but have some questions on how the trade-in is valued. AutoPilot: Is FSD autopilot transferable to the new car? If not transferable, is it taken into account in the valuation of the trade-in car? If it is taken...

I just got my car back from getting the upgrade to hardware 3, and found that apparently all my progress on Stardew Valley, Beach Buggy Racing, and Cuphead has been lost! Why is there apparently no way to backup the progress and restore it, or to transfer it over to the new computer?? I can't...

I'm curious about what Tesla does with the AP2.5 computers they get from doing the HW3 upgrade? Do they throw them away? Use them for alternate computing tasks? Keep them as spares for repairing non-FSD cars? Install them in new non-FSD vehicles? Collect them in a warehouse somewhere? As the...

I was messing around with the Tesla's browser yesterday, as well as the alternate variant of it that can be accessed by clicking a link from within the youtube "app". I happened to jokingly go to Lyft's web-app, at ride.lyft.com, and was shocked to see it pinpoint my precise current location...

I was looking for something similar to this, does anyone know of a similar product or guide for providing more power than the existing ports do? My current setup is a taptes dual wireless charger for my phone, and a 1-to-2 usb splitter thing for the flash drive for dashcam. When playing...

I'm surprised I haven't found any threads on this already, but has anyone done any testing or comparison of Smart Summon with the HW3 computer compared to HW2.5? Is there any difference in the performance, speed, or accuracy of the routing between the two systems? Also I recall reading that...

I'm curious to hear your theories on how a scenario where traditional automakers abruptly and strongly focus on transitioning to a all-EV lineup might play out. Regardless of the cause (potentially government regulations, fossil fuel shortages, impending climate disaster, everyone suddenly...

I was wondering, does this kit for the model X/S work for the model 3? If not, is there any alternative method to see the front view when parking? Why is the kit only advertised for use with the model X and S? Is the model 3's camera different in a way that breaks the system? I'm getting very...

I hate to be another person asking what probably seems to be a pretty simple battery question, but most questions I've seen seem to be from people asking the opposite perspective. I have a LR RWD Model 3 (the cheapest one that was available when I ordered in June). I almost never charge above...

Given that apparently the 250kW charging rate is only sustained for a few minutes, and only when at a low state of charge, I feel like it would make more sense to have the V3 chargers be shared, where even when shared they could provide the full 120-ish Watts of the v2 chargers, which is...

From Toyota’s vehicle comparison, I found some funny results. Apparently things that are “best” in a Prius compared to a tesla include “variable valve timing”, and “standard audio system” :rolleyes:. No thanks, I’ll take the “not best” model 3 please :p

As the title says, why did or didn’t you get EAP?
