I just had an accident in my model 3, and insurance decided not to cover the vehicle, Does anyone know an estimated repair cost for this kind of damage? Or had a similar accident?

Does anyone do anything different than Rennstand?

I wonder about just buying four hydraulic jacks and then making a mechanical block for the hydraulic jacks so that it can't fall down even if there is a hydraulic failure. Something like one of these:



That would be even more expensive than Rennstands though. $1,000 worth of floor jacks and $400 worth of locks for the floor jacks.

Jut seems pretty crazy to spend $900 on a full set of Rennstands to be able to safely do some basic work on your car.

So I came across this FSDb video (pretty sure it's 11.4.9) that I thought was particularly worth discussing because the FSDb not only made a dangerous maneuver but there was very little warning to the driver that it would make the move.

The navigation is set to drive straight at the traffic light. At the last moment FSDb throws up a left turn signal and makes a sudden left turn, cutting in front of oncoming traffic. My guess for why it decided to make the left would be that it incorrectly realized it was in a left-turn only lane, so it made the left to follow traffic rules. But that doesn't explain why it failed to yield to the oncoming car. The car does seem to appear in the FSDb visualization. There is a moment where the car might've been occluded by the vehicle directly in front of the FSDb (it's hard to tell because the blind spot camera pops up over the visualization). But even if it couldn't see the oncoming car, it's usually so cautious about turning at intersections, even when there are no other cars around. My guess would be a sort of race condition occurred where it entered the "make left turn" routine in an unusual way (realizing it was in a left turn only lane) that circumvented the "is it clear to pass?" routine.

I've seen some bad FSDb mistakes but this one is particularly discouraging because there was little an attentive driver could have done to avoid the potential accident. Luckily the oncoming car reacted and braked on time.

Picking up a Tesla next weekend. I have a pretty long drive back and was hoping I’d be able to use the Tesla network rather than rely on the public network. If the car is transferred to me on Sunday and I update card details etc will I be able to use the network that day? ** it’s a used car

After only 11k miles, the MXM4 rears are down to 3/32nds and they are EXTREMELY LOUD.

I had a set of Continental DWS06+ before this and they were good, but also only lasted about 14k miles on the rear. I got marginally better efficiency on the non-EV rated Contis too, compared to the MXM4 which is OE equipment I believe.

Anyone have a recommendation for a QUIET tire for the S? OK with replacing rears every 10k-12k, but I want them to be quiet at the very least. Texas car so don't care about snow or wet ratings, a general all season would be adequate.

Hallo allemaal,

Gisteren kwam ik deze storing tegen in het service menu van mijn Model X van 2020 (Raven). De auto geeft geen storing buiten het service-menu.

Iemand enig idee wat dit betekent en of ik hier iets mee moet? Of gewoon negeren? Zie foto.



Fijn weekend!

I’ve recently had a number of times where I’ve woken up to find that the car hasn’t changed overnight. Looking at the Octopus app I can see that it didn’t create a charge schedule. If I turn off “intelligent” charging and then back on again it’ll create a schedule. Anyone else seeing this?

All I can say after almost 6 years of ownership (10/18 purchase) is that it has been a great experience! This is my wife's vehicle, she is he ultimate
"test driver" and can manage to break anything over a period of time. Outside of 3 broken windshields, no major problems. 1 set of tires.
Soon to take it in for cabin air filter, tire rotation, and brake check.

Anyone know what these Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance are? Saw this new variant while checking used inventory. Slots in between LR and P?

Could be a way to refurbish used inventory to get more $$$ for them by unlocking the power output of the motors and putting the dinky spoiler on? Unsure if they have the brakes and suspension of the P (white model below alludes to Perf Upgrade). Maybe the white one is just mislabeled? Pics show vehicles with Gemini and some with Uber Turbine.

Please comment if you know more.

So I was looking up those rear tail lights from Hanshaw, evbase, etc... and they look really cool. Then I saw one video for the "knight rider" style full width tail light, that it covers up the top part of the rear camera. Granted not enough to get in the way, you can still see the street, but enough to bug me. Here's an example



So the types above sits almost flush while the other ones(below) go above on top but sticks out more like a spoiler. did anyone get the style of the other one? I was curious how much that gets in the view of the camera. There's a lot of youtubers that post the install process and how cool it looks, but not how it affects the rear camera. at least no picture or video reference except for top one.

Hi all, due to delays in delivery, my delivery date has been made available and they’ve very graciously offered me a 3 day window to pick up my car in Sydney - and I live in Newcastle. I have chosen my first day off work which is March 2.

I was due to fly out to LA for a week on March 3 which now I have now put back to March 5 so I can collect the car and bring it back to Newcastle before leaving the country.

But my concern is that if I collect my car, have 2 days of a charging routine at home and then nothing for a week while im away, am I going to mess the car up somehow by not breaking in a charging routine or having a big gap in charing in the cars early days of operation?

New to EV’s and don’t want to get it wrong on day one

Cheers

Saw this at my supercharger. Manufacturer plates, headlights and taillights look different.

Esp with the performance and its acceleration and big wheels, is there anyone with 150k to 200k miles still on the original bearings? I remember on our old family SUV gas cars we would have almost 300k miles and the wheel bearings were still fine

I’m curious since this car is heavier with a lot more power going to the wheels will I have to replace the wheel bearings every 100k miles or something? I’ve never owned a car with this much power, or does Tesla have some heavy duty bearings that can take a beating and last the life of the vehicle

I took delivery of my M3H on Friday - in general, it's fantastic. I do however have this odd warning icon on the top right of the speed limit sign:



According to the manual, this signifies a system failure, so I opened a service request - Tesla say "Please note this stays visible regardless and is not a cause for concern unless followed with other actual alerts."

I'm not really convinced by that... Does anyone else have this displayed?

Cheers,
Tim

Can't imagine this will be great news for the brand.

Hi - I’m currently driving a Model 3 long range, the car is nearly 3 years old and will return to the lease company at the end of the lease next month.

Timing wise it couldn’t be better as I’m about to change jobs and my new company buys their fleet cars instead of leasing them. They have a policy of not buying nearly new cars (less than 1 year old and less than 25,000 miles) from dealers (not private sellers) and I’ve got a budget of £48,000.

Ideally I’d like to change to a model Y and hope to get a performance model in blue with a white interior. Sadly none appear to be on the market that fit my criteria at the moment.

I need to make my choice in the next couple of weeks and am torn between 3 cars on the market currently and would appreciate your thoughts as to what to go for:

Model Y Performance, 23 reg, black with a black interior

Model Y Long Range with enhanced autopilot, 23 reg, blue with black interior

Model 3 Performance, 73 reg, blue with a black interior

They all have their benefits, so what would you go for and why? Hopefully you can help me to make my mind up!

Hello Tesla Community,

I'm reaching out to explore a possibility and gather insights from fellow Tesla owners. I'm interested in knowing if there's a way to connect other devices (such as laptops, tablets, etc.) to a Tesla's network, essentially using the Tesla as a mobile hotspot. This would be incredibly useful for instances where mobile data on other devices is limited or unavailable.

Has anyone attempted this or knows if it's possible with current Tesla models? If so, what solutions or workarounds have you found? Are there specific software updates, third-party apps, or hardware modifications required to enable this functionality?

I understand that Tesla's connectivity is primarily designed for vehicle updates, navigation, and media streaming, but extending its use as a hotspot could greatly enhance the experience for passengers and for work on-the-go scenarios.

Any advice, experiences shared, or directions to relevant discussions on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

If I subscribe to “full self driving” will I get V12 or V11? My car is 2023 built with HW4 no USS.

My wiper blades are nearing the end of life on my Y. I’ve been checking the Tesla accessories and they are consistently out of stock, usually one or the other. I just want to buy a pair to save on p&p but both are never in stock. Bearing in mind I can’t find alternatives in Halfords etc, it’s a bit poor that they can’t keep a decent Stock of replacements to purchase.

Any thoughts on alternatives that don’t involve messing with adapters?

Permits just went in for the addition of 16 stall v4 Tesla EV charging station with an address of 281 Civic Center Dr, Augusta, ME 04330. This shows as a 99 Restaurant and Comfort Inn. This is a NEVI award site so will most certainly be a V4 post build as was recently done at the Rockland Tesla NEVI site.

Given the Rockland site is done, there is a possibility this might be done by the same contractor - possibly soon although it's anyone's guess.

Post amended to include site plan info. The plan confirms a v4 traditional construction site (ie. it will not use pre-fab supercharger units).

If I’m on a trip and I use a super charger twice in 1 day then I went back home the next day and used the super charger twice again for a total of 4 super chargers in 2 days would that be considered excessive super charging?

I’m just wondering what is considered excessive as far as battery health in a time span of 1-5 days

What’s the total super charges you can do in the lifespan of the car before degradation from super charging becomes noticeable

I estimate I would probably super charge 15 to 30 times per year for trips

A friend may want my summer 2023 white Model Y. With pricing falling off a cliff (car might bring $40k max after purchase price around $50k), I’m going to be hesitant to move it anytime soon. Wanted to get some input on anyone who has driven a Y and the new Highland 3 about the following. Thanks in advance!

1. For pricing and my daily city driver use, RWD is plenty (range isn’t a concern). Will my LR Y be noticeably different drive compared to RWD 3? (Plan to test drive soon but not sure I will get to get both RWD and LR)
2. I like look of alcantara (compared to RWD interior highlights) and option of the upgraded sound system but I’m not sure that’s worth anywhere near $8k upgrade since the battery range isn’t a huge concern for me.

posting as FYI
Last week, driving down the highway, everything normal, hit with several codes and car goes into limp mode. Made it home but couldnt drive after that. Reached out to service center, had it towed up there, and this was the scope of work performed. I'm sure there are smarter guys here that tell me what they think happened, I honestly have no idea. My basic warranty is expired but they replaced the 12v battery and coolant at no charge to me.



old battery




new battery

According to several sites that track software updates, etc, it appears that 2024.2.3 doesn't have FSD - is that likely true or do they just not have info yet on the FSD version? If it is true, if I were to subscribe today when it appears that no higher version of software exists currently, would my car downgrade or would I just have no FSD until a later version with FSD becomes available to my car?
