Every so often, I see posts with questions about the best way to wash your Tesla Model 3. Just thought I would share my preferred car wash routine for my 4-year-old 2018 Tesla P3D. Total wash time is 20-25 minutes and uses 4-5 gallons of water.

I basically do a rinsless wash using ONR or P and S ...

I'm sure this will be a sticky on all of the vehicle forums shortly:

NHTSA Recalls Every Tesla Equipped With 'Full Self-Driving Beta' Over Crash Risks

The safety agency is requiring a software update to Tesla Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, saying FSD Beta "may allow the vehicle to act unsafe."

After owning a few Leafs, Smart EV, Model 3 and Model Y as my daily driver, I decided to convert (or in my case acquire) a classic EV.

I own and have owned many classic cars over the years and knew that I just drive them around town, never very far, and so any limitations regarding range didn’t b...

Sorry for the TL;DR

Over the last few months, I've been curious about charging efficiency for my Model 3P and so I decided to do a small test:

My wife has a very consistent driving schedule with it and so if you tracked from day to day and week to week, the charge level of the car (as well as the ...

Not a bad job covering the rollout of the semi in this 16 minute video:

There are some views of the mega charger cabinets and dispenser. The dispenser looks like an urban supercharger, but you can see that is is larger than the person standing next to it. Cable is pretty chunky too. They say 7...

TLDR:
It is hard to make a direct comparison between these vehicles. They are both good at different things. If you want to offroad or get adventurous in your car, go with a Rivian. If you already drive a truck and want to get into an EV, you should probably go with an R1T. If you want incred...

Took the delivery of my first electric car, Tesla model YLR on 2/4. After almost a week with the car, here are my impressions.

-Coming from busy instrument clusters of Audis and BMW’s, the interior is plain and simple and has grown on me. I still think there should be at least a small screen in fro...

There have been a lot of debate threads over the Yoke and in general I prefer the Yoke. But I don’t recall a discussion of Yoke in the context of FSD (Beta). If there has been, mods feel free to merge this.

I recently started using the FSD (Beta) and found the Yoke does NOT play well with it all. I...

2021 Model Y owner, love the car but hate the suspension. Ordered a 23 for the comfort suspension as soon as the major price drop happened and just test drove one locally ahead of upcoming pickup. Very disappointed in both the ride quality and build quality of the newer car.

Hey all, first time starting a thread. I recently picked up my 2023 Model Y, and one of the first things I wanted was to hardwire my phone mount charger. I like the clean look and convenience

Tomorrow makes the begining of week 3 and I've noticed a few things - figured I'd share.

I sold my 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 AWD Cabrio two days before delivery of the M3P -very fortutuious when it came to paying for it. Delivery was a pita and Ive told that story elsewhere but its all ok now. '...

Mobileye published a blog that details their new proposed taxonomy for autonomous driving that they introduced at CES.

They propose 4 axes:

(i) Eyes-on/Eyes-off
(ii) Hands-on/Hands-off
(iii) Driver versus No-driver
(iv) MRM requirement

You get 4 categories that can be actual products:

Hi all,

I know it's been talked about a bunch over the past couple years, but I wasn't able to find a thread discussing the DIY repair method for these two errors.

Recently my 2015 S 85 started reporting the above two errors. After having my wife stand outside the car and cycling the car between P...

After years of waiting I finally got my FSD Beta! After 6-weeks I turned it off.

I found the promise of the FSD Beta to be overblown. Yes it is very cool that the car will navigate on city streets to a destination. But the car is far too timid to be usable. It is worse than driving with a student d...

Thought I'd post this as it may be helpful for others. Especially if you can DIY and don't want to pay Tesla many £1000's to fix these air compressor/suspension-related issues.

I started to hear my air compressor turning on a lot more than it used to and it was getting a lot noisier than it used to...

I'm starting this thread to analyze incident reports that Tesla files with NHTSA regarding crashes involving cars that might be related to FSD or AP or NOA. Note that Tesla has to report any incidence where the crash happens even if AP/FSD/NOA was engaged within 30 seconds prior to the crash.

Here's one interesting thing I've noticed since activating the FSDb option last month:

My Tesla's speed readout used to register significantly high, like 6% or more. If the speed readout claimed 45 mph, the real speed was typically 42 mph. I noted this based first on my own judgment, then confirmed...
