Looking at an used tesla. 2017. Dealer says FSD is included, but the previous owner said when he had it, it wasn't active. Anything I can check on a test drive to make sure everything checks out? Any other suggestions beside FSD of things to look at that are common issues?

Don't lie about your tesla I suppose is the lesson - but does Tesla collects and stores the sort of data presented to court in their servers (which presumably they had to hand over under subpoena)?

Not a lawyer but if the data is stored locally in the car then hypothetically the driver should not be compelled to hand this over (self-incrimination)?

Currently have a M3 2018 MR. We also have another EV (Nissan Leaf) that is primairly used as a commute car. We like the EAP and have taken road trips in M3, but due to the low range, it is inconvenient to keep charging it.

We would like to get a Model X, but don't want to spend the money to buy a brand new car. So we are considering used Model X.

Our priorities are
- range
- fast charging
- FSD
- quiet

Not our priority
- performance
- color preference
- AWD

Budget would be $60k out the door that limits our options. I have briefly looked at the used inventory on Tesla and Carvana (link), and seems like we could find some options.

I haven't researched all the versions of model X out there, but is there a specific config that would be better for us?

We are quite set on buying the Model Y after a few thorough drives. While we briefly check out the M3 Highland at the sales centre, we didn't consider it as good value as the price are pretty much the same. I've not been a fan of gen 1 Model 3 due to its build quality. However the refreshed Model 3 has seen positive improvements. However Tesla just dropped the M3H significantly and it got us re-thinking our choices. The Tesla will be an additional car. We also have a BMW wagon that we will keep. Therefore I am thinking maybe the M3 Highland might work out as our primary commuter vehicle. Looking at RWD variants for both models.

I feel the MY with the additional space would be nice for family trips and hauling stuff. Although the latter can be done with our Bimmer. Also I feel it looks a bit more upscale than the M3 tbh. However it is an aging design with Juniper probably landing next year. We can enjoy the M3H now. Damn Tesla for dropping the M3H price that much!
Thoughts????

Just spotted a new location at the Stoney Casino gas station and truckstop between Calgary and Canmore. They should take a lot of pressure off of the Canmore superchargers. The design is interesting as well I have not seen these yet. Picture attached. Someone let the folks at supercharge.info to add this to their construction list on the map

I am attaching a picture of the carfax.

Hello, I am looking at purchasing this 2022 Tesla Model 3. The carfax shows 2 owners. The 2nd half of the car shows, "Dealer took title of this
vehicle while it was in inventory". The first owner drove to 9,670 miles.

This is all under Owner 2: It shows new owner reported (2 owner) on 12/22/2023. On 1/30/2024
at 9,670 miles it was serviced at AutoNation. On 3/21/2024 it shows "Vehicle Purchase Reported"
in Montana. The vehicle where I am purchasing is in Texas. On 3/26/2024, it shows title issued or updated in Montana with 24,012 miles with "Dealer took title of this vehicle while it
was in inventory. Does this not look extremely weird or concerning?
fnot, can someone explain to me please? How such a huge mileage jump 1/30/2024 to 3/26/2024? What's the "Dealer took title of this vehicle while it was in inventory". I am not
purchasing it from AutoNation either.

Hi,
I'm paying cash for my car, the Tesla app is giving me details to wire them the final payment but my bank has a transaction limit of 25k which is not enough. Has anyone else had to deal with this? Did you do 2 payments? the bank(Nationwide) say I can do a CHAPS payment for the full amount but need the company(Tesla) address details etc that aren't in the info in the app. Anyone have experience with this situation?

Hi

I have used Tesla 3 with expired warranty. What roadside assistance, if any, will I get from Tesla eg for tyre blowout?

There is the crack on the roof glass.
No impact from outside

I asked the Tesla service at Parramatta.

They gave me the estimate $3520.

They can do the inspection. But they never done this problem under warranty.

I really do not understand Tesla's policy.

O'Brien glass , they do not Tesla roof glass.

Do you have this same problem ?

What is the best solution for this problem ?

Bought a nice looking 2013 Model S with 140,000 miles today for under $9k at auction. It was sold with an auction guaranty to be free of major defects. I go to test drive it and its in a reduced power mode and there are messages to get it charged immediately. I'm able to limp it to the charger at the auction going 5 mph. Of course they are occupied and it's after 3 pm now. You have until 5 pm to submit a claim, but it will be a few hours before it's charged up enough so I can even take it for a drive. I was able to convince a manager of the issue, that I can't even drive it, and she said that after it's charged in the morning, they will check it out and go from there.

Ideally, the seller brought the car there without enough charge, and all it needs is recharging and then it will show there is no problem. I can't fathom anyone bringing a car in like that to sell. My pessimistic thoughts say there is something wrong with the battery or electronics on the car. What's the track record of these early Teslas? I have always read on the internet that the batteries are good for at least 20 years or more and the car should be able to go over 500,000 miles on the original battery. Any early Tesla owners here with insight?

Let’s gooooooooo!!!!!!

EDD: May-June

The cost of enthusiasm - I knew I should have waited. LR now $67,900 in WA (down $4k),so qualifies for $3,500 rebate. Performance model on sale for ~$14k more drive away (EDD July to Sep).

Hi all, there has to be others out there with Tesla Solar/PowerWalls of course, that are highly interested in PowerShare coming out soon. It was mentioned that it will be coming in 2025 for all Teslas, and it's rolling out now/soon with the Cybertruck it seems. Look forward to seeing that working. It also seems that there are two setups:
1) new owners/customers without existing Tesla systems need to get the Gateway v3 that integrates with it very easily.
2) existing solar/powerwall owners also seem to easily do PowerShare as well, with software controlling it and your existing bidirectional (Tesla Universal charger as of now) charger that is hooked up at to your whole home/system panel, at 50 amps (60 amp breaker).

I'm on the fence as have a CT on order but for example would probably prefer to get an MX with PowerShare instead as an SUV.

Creating this forum to really share with others that are waiting for the same to become available, share news around PowerShare becoming available on all models and CT reviews of it if first, and best practices around how it works/integrates overall. In the future hopefully/likely to non-Teslas as well.

I stayed at a hotel that has a supercharger 3 miles away. My car had been sitting in the cold all night so the first thing I did after waking up was to precondition the car and set the supercharger as the destination in the navigation. After breakfast I drove to the supercharger and was disappointed with a very slow charge rate (battery too cold). How do I force the car to precondition the battery for charging before departing?

2016.5 Model S, paid for FSD at purchase, still can't get it. But, even though we went "bare bones" on wife's (second) Model Y a few months ago (no upgrades other than color), she has FSD in her car and it works great (although the free subscription ends soon). Tesla service is telling me that the pre-paid FSD "complete program" is "not available at this time" (no idea when it will be), and the "FSD Supervised" program is not yet available in MCU1 (will be in the future, no idea when). My only real option is to pay $2,458 for the MCU2 upgrade for the privilege of paying a monthly subscription for something I paid for at purchase. This is my second Tesla and my family's fourth, and we love them, but I sure am feeling left out and cheated for something that cost over $10,000 at time of purchase. Should have bought TSLA with the ten grand instead!!!

Now appears to be live on UK configurator

328 Miles Range
0-60 in 2.9sec
163mph Top Speed
Bespoke Styling (which was already spotted several times)
Adaptive Suspension
20" "Warp" Wheels
Track Mode V3

Looks to still be called performance, but had the ludicrous badge in the render as previously seen.

My 2018 M3 Mid Range keeps receiving the same software update. When I click on 'install', it gets stuck at 10% for hours. After resetting it using the wheel buttons, the update doesn't complete, and the system keeps prompting me to install the same version. I submitted a support ticket, and they removed the update more than once, but after 24 hours, the same version, 2023.44.30.14, reappeared without downloading. When I try to install it again, it starts at 10% and gets stuck. The car continues to display 'Software Update Required', and in service mode, I see two alerts for 'APS Mismatch Version'. is there any solutions

I knew this day was going to come one day and told myself, no big deal we will just deal with it and all will be well.....but one of the things Elon talked about when you purchased one of this vehicle was the long-range and owner could get of our this vehicle. My car currently has 155k miles on it and I just can't believe this battery has died on me! I am beyond disappointed and to be honest, a bit pissed off.

has anyone else found a better option than to replace this freaking battery? Not ready to spend 15k on a new battery?

I've heard of an option of fixing maybe a dead cell?

any input would be great.

Here's a thread for speculation with little or no evidence!

Why is Tesla putting in extremely large supercharger sites like Quartzite, Arizona? This is a very rural area with a major interstate freeway. There were 36 v2 & v3 SC's here already before Tesla put in a huge 84-stall SC site a few blocks away. I've been there twice and seen it in a lot of road trip videos. There are never more than 5-6 cars charging there.

Frankly, it would take a local total eclipse plus opening the SC's to all other brands to fill this SC site. So why? Why here, and why now?

Someone somewhere mentioned that it could be to per-emptively freeze out competitors. Basically the 'Walmart in small towns' theory. Put in something so big that it dominates and prevents other competition from coming in.

For example: Why would Electrify America come in and put in 4-8 stalls now? What's the chance for a competitor to put in 16-24 stalls and have anyone show up there?

Hi
Does anyone know what's going with the service centre in Edinburgh?

I bought my 2022 M3LR on the 23rd of April.

Noticed a few issues so logged them in tbe app.

Mobile appointment comes back as the 2nd of April.

Pretty good I though! On the 1st they rescheduled to the 11th due to staff shortages.

On the 11th no one turns up and no one responds to my messages in the app. I call the national service number the following day. They look in to it and I get a message in the app late Friday apologising saying they will rebook ASAP.

A week later I'm still chasing to get rescheduled. Eventually I get a call saying the soonest they can do is the 10th of may.

I tell them I'm away at that time and back on the 14th. I'm told I will need to reschedule from the 10th in the app as they have already booked it in.


So now I've just tried to reschedule. I put my address in and select first date it gives me, except it keeps booking me in to Tesla Belfast and it's not possible to book a mobile service again. So, I called tesla again and now I'm told that the soonest date is the 23rd of May.

So that's 6 weeks from an appointment they missed.

Coming from a Kona EV I can't believe how poor the service is in comparison.

Is this considered 'normal'?

It's incredibly frustrating.

Thank

I recently had my model y vinyl wrapped and now the front parking sensors are no longer working. The back sensors still work.

From looking online, some people are saying to cut around the front sensors on the bumper. What exactly does that mean? Do I leave the vinyl on inside of the circle, and just trace around the outer edge of the circle?

It's strange how some people have their car wrapped and don't have any issues, and some do.

Weet er iemand of er nog meer verschillen zijn dan dit ???

- aandrijflijn en motoren (duh)
- carbon interieur en carbon buitenspoiler voor de plaid
- high performance remmen voor de plaid (whatever that means), dit zijn niet de remmen voor de max. snelheid >300kph
- betere sportzetels (net aangekondigd denk ik)

Ben net gaan testrijden met een nieuwe plaid om het verschil te voelen met mijn 2017 100D.
Geen fan van de Yoke (zeker op een rond punt), ook niet van de richtingsaanwijzers met de knoppen (heb tijdens 1 uur testrit zeker een paar keer dubbel moeten drukken en niet omdat ik er naast drukte). Carrosserie maakt wel minder lawaai, acceleratie is waanzin. Scherm is prima en supersnel. De testwagen was wel beperkt tot 140kph.

Nu nog testrit met de Taycan2 4s+ en de i5-M60...

Sorry, question that looks like it’s probably been asked to death but hopefully not the usual question(s).

My M3LR goes back soon and I always planned on getting an MY after. Not bothered about waiting for the potential refresh, would rather have stalks, etc.
So quotes from salary sacrifice lease company are really high - significantly more than M3H even. A PCP (or even PCH & HP) through Tesla direct is significantly cheaper, assuming due to the low APR, so I’m tempted to go down this route.

However, is there anything else I need to consider when comparing the overall costs? I’m comparing net monthly payments on SS, I don’t have insurance through them as it’s cheaper to arrange it myself. The only other thing included is servicing/maintenance and tyres. Only needed 2 new tyres over 4 years on my M3LR and obviously minimal servicing so feels like they’re not a big deal. I am repaying a student loan so going private would increase those repayments, potentially to more than I’d save which is the only thing that’s got me thinking. Is there anything else?

TIA
