Me too. Completed the upgrade tonight and got the email about the 30 day trial. Will try it out on my way to work in the morning.

News about the FSD trial for those of us on 2024.8.x FSD v12 coming on 2024.8

I guess I still don't understand. So cars with FSD are always running an older version of the software? What happens if someone with 2024.8.9 tried to subscribe to FSD through the app? They wouldn't be able to use it until FSD catches up to their software version, or does their software...

I'm in the same situation with my 2020 model 3. It updated to 2024.8.7 a day or two before the free trial was announced. Evidently FSD is not compatible with 2024.8 so we have to wait for FSD to catch up and maybe we will get the trial later. Seems a lot of people are on 2024.8

Sorry, that wasn't the best chart to post. That was number of vehicles upgrading to that version of the software each day. Here is a better chart to post. It is the current software version of every car using Teslafi. (Of course only a small percentage of Tesla owners use Teslafi, so look at...

So maybe it is just random (bad) luck that some of us got the upgrade to 2024.8.7 right before this FSD trial was announced. Teslafi shows a sizable number of vehicles on 2024.8.7. (Blue line, while 2024.3.10 is the green line).

What does 24 branches mean? My 2020 model 3 is on 2024.8.7. Does that mean mid-April I might get the FSD trial?

Not just NM and TN, I'm in Indiana with 2024.8.7 on my 2020 Model 3 LR

I'm in the same boat as you. 2020 M3 LR USS. 2024.8.7. My car updated to 2024.8.7 one day before the free trial was announced. For reasons I don't understand, FSD is only available on 2024.3.x so we are out of luck for now. Our cars have upgraded beyond what works for FSD, so I guess we...

So you went backwards to an earlier version? I'm currently at 2024.8.7 so I'm hopeful I will go to 2024.3.x to get the trial.

I have 2024.8.7 on my 2020 model 3.

Me too. My 2020 model 3 updated to 2024.8.7 last night. No notification of a FSD trial.

What about not having a gear shift stalk? Is that done on the screen, or are there buttons somewhere?

Everyone gets it. You can track its rollout on TeslaFi... TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker

I don't know what this "silver" is you speak of. Unfortunately, the Model 3 is no longer available in silver. But I sure wish it was...

Tesla thought about doing this early on. Here is a demo with Musk... YouTube video

It's not. The handle of it looks similar, but the end that plugs into the mower is different... Video showing Ego mower charger

Kind of reminds me of a "Michigan Left". Depending on the intersection to go left you either (1) go straight through the intersection, make a U turn, then turn right or (2) turn right then make a U turn. Michigan Left

Agreed. I have had my Model 3 for three years and take it to my local tire shop where I have always purchased tires. There are many Teslas on the road near me. My tire shop is very familiar with how to lift a Tesla (they have the lift pucks) and what torque setting the lug nuts should be set...

So how does that work in Italy? Cars entering the roundabout have the right of way and cars circling the roundabout have to stop to let them in? Seems like traffic would come to a stop in the roundabout, blocking all the entrances to the roundabout and causing everything to come to a standstill.

The swipe on the screen is for forward or reverse. If you are asking about turn signals, those are buttons on the steering wheel.

My car is early 2020 and doesn't have the heat pump but makes this noise.

Sounds normal to me. When the temperature is hot and the car is inside a closed garage and I open a door to retrieve something, the car will make this noise for a little while. The car is three years old and has always made that noise.

What do you mean by small claims court? Who can you sue for this?

Taking your eyes off the road to fumble with a touch screen IS much slower than reaching for a physical lever, knob, stick, stalk etc. And, while you are doing that you are not looking at the road!! It's a matter of BOTH not not being able to change directions quickly and not seeing what is in...

In both your examples, you can do it by touching something physical without taking your eyes off the road, just like using stalks. You have missed the point. The problem with removing the stalks is you have to take your eyes off the road and fiddle around with a touch screen.

Yep, especially those of us driving around in fricking electric cars!

Yes you can disable the gear shift chimes. I can't tell you where to find that setting however because I used another new feature to turn them off. Use the new search feature (at the top of the main screen when you touch the car icon in the bottom left) and enter "chime" into the search box...

Sounds great. Anyone have a photo of the large font vs small font?

Your question reminds me of Sister Gertrude, one of my grade school teachers. She was a mean nun who taught us religion at St. Anthony Grade School. Whenever we would ask her if we HAD to so something, (e.g. Sister do we have to do all this homework? Sister do we have to go to mass every...

Based on what I have read on this board, Tesla doesn’t give you a new battery. They can give you a refurbished one that has range >70% of what your vehicle’s original range was. That’s not nothing but don’t expect a brand new battery if yours meets the warranty criteria for replacement.

It might help the resell value of your car. I for one don’t like the new front end and missing fog lights. Those are just cosmetic concerns, but if it has a yoke or stalkless controls, I would really be reluctant to buy the new version. A 2022 with the old design would be desirable to those...

I have had my M3 since May 2020. Delivery experience was great, the car has been great, and my one interaction with service has been great. My pickup experience was not typical because I picked up in Chicago (1.5 hour drive from my house) during COVID. I did not see any Tesla employees...

Do you know how much money Tesla is saving by eliminating temperature sensors? About $5 per car. Thermistor (EDIT) Oops... That is for a pack of 5. So I guess it's more like $1 per car. Yep, kudos to Elon for keeping Tesla profitable!!

He could be a US Senator. STS-134 was the second to last shuttle mission and current Arizona Senator Mark Kelly flew on that mission. He is also a Tesla owner per the linked article. Tesla owners in Congress

That's it? Just "ADA accessible" on the charging sign. Is there a wheel chair symbol painted on the ground? To me, this is like the extra wide stalls in public restrooms: save it for the handicapped unless it's the only option and you really have to go.

I have not used it, but others here have recommended a splitter called "Dryer Buddy." It allows both plugs to remain connected but power only goes to one device at a time.

Right button on the steering wheel. Not button on the right stalk.

You should have told them, Chevy Bolt. $125.

Did you receive a notification that parts were available and then you scheduled a time for them to come out, or did you have to keep checking the app to see when it would let you request the recall be completed?

Mine had disappeared from the service section of the app leaving just the CCS retrofit, but now it is back. When I select it, I get a message that I will receive a notification in the Tesla App when parts are available. I'm wondering if anyone has received such a notification or if we just have...

The ad aired in Washington, D.C.; Sacramento; New York; Austin; Tallahassee; and Atlanta.

MPP = Mountain Pass Performance. I've never used them, I just have a stock M3, but many people here speak highly of the mods they offer.

I believe the RWD model does not have fog lights, does not come with floor mats, and does not have the premium sound system (it has 8 speakers rather than 15).

This advice might not be popular but I wouldn't look at a car as an investment. I would buy the one that suits my needs best and make sure I can afford it. After making the purchase, I wouldn't stress out about resale value. I would take good care of it, keep it for several years, and expect...

I also have a 2020 and my car uses sensors to display how many inches away obstacles are when I'm parking. Are you saying newer cars don't do this? I have heard that radar has been removed from newer cars and autopilot only relies on the cameras, but I assumed the sensors used when parking are...

Update: Well, for the past three days, it is now closing immediately without the blinks and beeps when closing automatically after I back out of my garage. Not sure why for two weeks it was doing the blinks and beeps.

Have you checked the "Charge Stats" section of the Tesla mobile app to see how many kWh per month you are using? I drive about 9000 miles per year and typically use about 250 kWh each month at a cost of about $35. Unless you are driving a couple hundred miles per day, something is wrong with...

I do not have Homelink. It blinks and beeps for 5-10 seconds then closes. It just started doing this. The first two weeks after the Holiday update, it immediately closed without all the blinking and beeping.

When I manually close the garage door using the close button on the Tesla screen, it doesn't blink and beep. It only does the blink and beep when auto closing.
