Keep your eye open on Reddit. Those guys post every “first” everything. Every time someone sees a cybertruck for the first time, it gets posted. Every first highland sighting too. Every VIN assignment. Etc.

Can’t believe how many people mourn USS. I have a 2022 and they have them but I am almost completely unaware that I do. Not super useful imo.

Have a reservation. Probably won’t get one. Won’t fit in my garage and I don’t want it parked outside. It will be far more expensive than the initially stated price. Probably well more than the ford lightning. Make me a Honda Ridgeline size ev and I’ll be more serious about it.

A lot of people really trust the data that Tesla reports for cases like this. As a way of refuting the drivers claim. I’m not saying tesla is fudging the data. But if there were a flukey glitch that caused acceleration - (I dunno, a faulty sensor or something) wouldn’t the data logs show...

I mean if I go on a long trip, say 400-500 miles I usually encounter phantom braking once or twice. It’s not nearly as frequent or treacherous as the overly dramatic internet would make it sound. It’s not a full brake slam experience… its more of an unexpected slow down which is easily...

AC doesn’t hit nearly as hard as heat does so I don’t think you’ll be too bummed in July. Let us know what you see. Spring is around the corner.

Didn’t read entire post but even mild winter temps will affect your range. If you bounce back to say a 300-350 mile km range in warmer months will you still be outraged? Also cabin heat usage is not hidden from energy efficiency stats while you are in drive. Only parked / preconditioning...

Yes! I was so sick of fumbling to find the trip menu and then hiding the main panel. Trip cards is what I missed most about prior UI.

You’re replacing your EV with a 16 mpg impractical, inefficient, high maintenance car toy. Would have respected a decision to go to another make EV. You aren’t just going back to ICE. you’re going back to the worst class of ice. Why not just get an f250 diesel W dualies, w coal rolling...

Your frunk issue sucks esp since happened in mid road-trip AND. it somehow disabled FSD features. But you mention many issues I’ve never had. Frequent bad routing? Difficulty locating superchargers/off-ramps? my timezone on my 3 updates before my phone does. Some of your issues look to be...

This is a little frustrating. Tesla only has finite money to build its own nationwide charging infrastructure. Would you prefer 1/3 the locations but with posh facilities and bathroom attendants? Op calls it a dealbreaker. He‘s probably not got the right temperament right for early adoption.

It’s probably a decent market price. I recently traded same config w 50k miles, directly to tesla for $41k … I’m sure they resold for higher than $47k. i personally don’t think it’s a value … over say a brand new 22 LR w/o FSD. For not that much money you get a longer range, heat pump, awd...

the screenshot attached says it’s a model S, doesn’t it?

So confused. It looks like you’re responding to and even arguing with yourself. Did you sell your reservation already?

Not even a ticket scalper. He’s standing in line at the box office and wants to sell his spot in line. I am curious if anyone ends up paying $5k for a configuration they don’t even get to choose. Its not like the 3 is as rare as in 2018 when it was brand new. Keep us posted op.

I recently replaced my 2018 RWD with a LRAWD 2022 January build and my new one has matrix lights (USA). It is not life changing. If I could swap it for heated wipers, I would.

… The charge report from Electrify America states the max charging speed was 192kW. I never saw the car report over 185kW though, unless I missed it after plugging the car in and getting in. Impressive that you can get over 150kw at all. I bet the difference between the 192 and the 185 is...

No way in hell. It will be fine for 3 years. In my mind ppf is for people who are worried how it will look 5 years from now. Edit: oops I actually read your real question. I don’t think they’ll care or even know you’ve done it. I’m just having a hard time understanding why you want to do...

Used to be. I think in 2019 they stopped including it.

Ok here’s a workaround. Add an like a 15 minute appointment to your phone calendar that starts when you need to arrive at work - you should be able to do this using a recurring appointment. Include your work address on the appointment and make sure you allow calendar syncing on your car...

Sorry mate I thought I saw your ending SOC was 48%. Well you must have had sentry and other standbys on that is way more drain than I’ve seen. Anyway curious to know if it’s slowed down now that it’s hit 20%. Try not to check it too often cause that also drains prevents “sleep.” But I know...

your car is normal. This is what they call vampire drain. A small amount of energy is being used to monitor things and maintain your battery. Your rate of drain is actually slower than most people who inquire about it. Less than 2% per day will last you quite a long time. And as someone...

If I agreed with his opinion I would not like the car either and I would sell it. Like he should do. Doesn’t make us kool aid drinkers. Not sure why you would disagree with that. If you hate reading posts from Tesla supporters this probably isn’t the best place for you. Goes the same for...

Good grief. Hope that was therapeutic. You hit every negative point I’ve ever read about teslas. Then you took everything that the model S had that the Y doesn’t, and presented those shortcomings as deal breakers. (Bio weapon defense … I’ve never heard anyone lament the loss of that)...

Phantom Breaker on the left. Phantom Braker on the right. (Sorry, couldn’t resist)

Hmm is possible the temp in your garage is warmer than the exterior temp when you were charging? I have woken up with a higher % than I went to sleep with but usually because I was out and about in very cold weather and my garage is relatively warmer. (Im actually thinking you may not have a...

There’s a subtle feature he’s trying to tell you about. You click and hold the navigate button and drag it downward one time. When you let go it will automatically set your navigation for work. It almost doesn’t get easier.

Am I completely misreading th fair enough, apology extended. I misread your quote “an SR+ is more than lively .. even if not as quick as the LR.” If you skip the the word EVEN you can see how that could sound like the Sr+ is as fast as a LR. #readingcomprehension lol. My bad mate

It’s peppy compared to most ice cars. I’m only countering your position that an SR is as quick as a dual motor. The op has now tested both that and noted that the SR was only “slightly more boring.“ If he were locked in chill the difference would have been mind blowing.

No way man. Rwd (sr) 0-60 in 5.3 seconds If you got last years model. if you have this years model it’s even slower. The dual motor is like 4.4 seconds. I’ve owned both … it’s a noticeable difference.

I am surprised the audio sounded bad….I thought the SR+ had the same sound system. You probably drove one with traditional batteries. The battery you would likely get if you’re just now ordering is LFP which has its advantages, but a notable disadvantage. It’s even slower than the model you...

I said it doesn’t handle AS well (as a 3). I mean, how could it? we’re comparing an suv to a sports sedan. But it’s fantastic in its own class of cars.

Ha well I think it’s worth $3k just to have auto lane change on the freeway. I don’t mean the feature that automatically decides you’re in the slow lane and bumps you over. I mean when the driver initiates the lane change with the signal, and the car does the rest. I miss it so much. Also...

I think the op said their garage door was not compatible with homelink. If that’s true it’s probably also not wifi enabled so I’m at a loss if they don’t want to use the clicker.

I think it does if you use navigation. I know people know exactly where they live but using navigation can be useful for that reason (you can turn volume off so it isn’t annoying). Navigating home is as simple as click-holding the navigation button and dragging it straight down. Also...

Meh, just give me a ccs adaptor. I‘d rather keep My tesla connector, over those clunky ccs monstrosities. It will be rare for me to find an EA station more convenient than a supercharger anyway.

Makes sense. That would be an improvement. Do any automakers do auto high beams well?

So it’s clear a lot of people are excited about this. Why is this so life changing? I don’t really have trouble seeing at night. I get it that once everybody has these lights there will be less glare/blinding … but what does it do for the owner to have these lights?

Is it only Perf models? I have a 22 LR m3

Are you saying some of us already have these special headlights in the US but they are disabled …and all we need is an ota update?

I was able to make final payment after I inspected car (Ohio - January 22) Leading up to delivery day I dealt with my local sales advisor via text mostly. I just asked if I could pay with a check on delivery day after i inspected. They said they preferred an ACH payment which was fine with me.

I just agonized over this same decision. I’m not a track guy so I don’t care about track mode or brakes. But I love the acceleration and I wanted to own the best in class for once in my life. I love the look of the turbine wheels. But the accel boost would get me under 4 secs 0-60 and not...

I’m from Columbus and work downtown. Is that really needed? I wouldn’t think that would be a convenient spot to stop if you’re passing thru Columbus. Goodale really isn’t strained is it? I’d rather see a supercharger halfway between Cbus and Cincy. In Columbus I’d rather see more L2...

The more ev owner complain about this, the more popular it will get.

Interesting … your numbers make ops math pretty spot on. Can you tell us what your car measured during those 1500 miles in terms of wh/mi consumption? We could infer that the difference between the 530 and the cars figure would be combined charging loss and phantom drain.

NHTSA Reviewing Tesla Phantom Braking After Complaint Count Spikes I can’t believe beta drivers are complaining about California stops. For me one of the biggest reasons for me to disengage fsd beta, is its been too cautious and slow, with concerns that drivers behind me get irritated with my...

I think you’re kind of double counting phantom drain. You’ve added 30% to your cost, and then also reducing your range to 250. One of the reasons we don’t get the rated range on these cars is phantom drain. I’d take the 30% out of your calc.

sure…not trying to make a profit but would like to get my money back. Here is the kit: https://kenriko.com/collections/frontpage/products/tesla-model-3-chrome-delete-kit i paid $144 for it …I opened the exterior box to verify contents but haven’t opened or disturbed the sub containers. If...

i still have it, pm me if you’re interested

Look I didn’t agree or disagree with what the SA was reported to have said. I‘m saying it’s incredibly unprofessional for a “Sales Advisor” to say “you don’t get quality with tesla”. That is a fireable offense in my opinion. That is what is suspect. He could say ”we’re trying to make...
