Wondering if there has been any news about this. Last I heard they were talking about March.

i was glad i was driving an EV instead of ICE with a tank full of gas. I know there is no path to ground but that lightning was right on top of me. But I suspect it might have been an EMP from the lightning that knocked the screen offline and changed the temp setting. I wasn't using the...

I took it out again later and it seemed ok. But when I got home and plugged it in, it said it wasn't plugged in completely so I tried again and then it seemed to be ok. Time will tell. Haven't checked on how much it has charged. Should be full cause it was only down 2% or so from the max 80...

Going South on Power in thunderstorm and a super loud crack of lightning / thunder right on top of the car. Screen went black for a few seconds but then came back on. Had temp control set to 75 and air on. Noticed it was blowing hot air and the temp was now set to MAX. Adjusted the slider...

thanks for the replies. Never thought about the frequencies.

I have a 2019 M3 with radar Autopilot. Yesterday on the 202 I passed 2 cops running speed traps and I was doing 77 in Autopilot. Neither one came after me. I wondered if my cars radar could interfere with their radar.

When I first heard about this I was pissed. I considered radar superior because it could see through rain or fog, etc. But, after thinking about it, I realized it would be very stupid to rely on ANYTHING during heavy rain or fog. So it really doesn't matter whether it uses Vision or Radar...

The other day I was going through a drive thru fast food and as I was a the order station, a guy pulled in behind me with a souped up car that sounded like a nitro dragster. He kept revving the engine and making lots of noise. Made it difficult to talk to the kid taking orders. After I pulled...

Well I guess it didn't happen. Perhaps it was only a dream. I can't find the pics showing the handles now. If I come across them again I will return with them.

I see new models have an assist handle over the door to help getting in and out. I really miss that. I have a 2019 M3 MR and am wondering if those assist handles can be installed now.

What will happen to people with Teslas that have radar now? Will Tesla upgrade us to the new Vision system? Are we stuck with an old system that will not be updates anymore?

I'm wondering why they changed to Vision. How is that going to work in fog or heavy rain? I don't see how it can if it is relying only on optics. And, for those of us with older 3's ( and other Teslas) will they just disable our radar AP and FSD? How can they get away with that for those of us...

No, I was leaving the driveway and I back in because it is safer when pulling out. So the front of my car was pointed at the street and there were no vehicles in front of me.

The other day my 3 suddenly started beeping at me and put up the warning to TAKE CONTROL IMMEDIATELY. Only problem is, I wasn't using cruise control or Auto Pilot. I was already in full control. I have a feeling my sensors are defective. Hmmmm. I get warnings like this and similar quite...

I've seen quite a few complaints about the ride in the Model 3 and I've seen posts where people changed the springs to lower the car. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to change the springs and / or shocks to get a better ride. If it is, why haven't people been doing it?
