I wasn't aware of that but that is interesting. Of course, we shouldn't have to dig around for any list of voice commands regardless of which vehicle model. we are talking about (pun intended).

In the past I tried to collect a list of voice commands, unfortunately however some no longer seem to work. Also, I am guessing some new commands have been added along with the software updates. Anyone have a voiced command list that they believe is current? Seems like this list should be...

You can just label me paranoid but whenever I travel long distance, which is often, I throw a covered spare behind the driver seat. I also carry a very low profile jack, low profile pucks, and a torque wrench. I assume that if I get a flat somewhere out in south Texas Tesla is not going to be...

Agree, you would think this could be an additional low risk (for Tesla) profit center. I'd much rather for my money (and peace of mind) go to Tesla than some third party auto warranty company.

Proactive battery replacement, I'm with you. After spending close to $60K on the car I felt proactively replacing the 12V battery was a good idea. So how much was it worth to me to not get stranded somewhere? Well for me the risk of not getting stranded is worth much more than the cost of an...

My 2018 Model 3 warranty ran out in March and while at present I am self-insured (but I might buy a third party policy) I would prefer to purchase a Tesla plan. Why would Tesla, which now offers full auto insurance coverage in my state while also offering extended warranties on the S an X, not...

Not sure why but after almost four years of Model 3 ownership I now seem to be getting further and further behind on my software updates. Oh well no biggie right? Anyway last night I finally was messaged that 36.5.1 was available. I happily complied and started the install and as usual after...

Historically, If you bought from an individual and the car had FSD, it remained with the car. If you buy used from Tesla FSD will likely be removed unless you pay for it.

Here's my $0.02. Well I often do long distance trips (about 325 miles) and I would say the answer for me anyway is no. My 2018 Model 3 LR RWD theoretically gets 310 miles of range but since during much of my drive I am travelling between 70 to 80 mph and often into a slight headwind I cannot get...

I like the idea of that display (though the Apple car play feature is not worth much to me) but it would need to cost about half the current price for me to be willing to pay for it

I have used iPhones (6 and 6S) with my March 2018 Model 3 for more than 2 and 1/2 years with no problems. Recently however, we upgraded to iPhone X and iPhone 12 and have encountered problems. Seems the phones on occasions can become disconnected from the car. Not sure if this is an Apple...

Sorry, correction, meant to say, Is Toyota a reliable brand, hell YES (not no)!

My 2004 $86,000 (and I'm sure that would be more in 2020 dollars) Porsche 911 stranded me with less than 7500 miles on it after only a handful of months of ownership - had to be towed. My top of the line 1990 (it think I remember the model year correctly) Acura Legend LS failed so many times in...

Hmm, can't speak to Montana but here in TX I use Superchargers on my many trips to the valley in south Texas (315 miles). I just looked at my history and the average charge for about 40 minutes of charging after driving about 150 miles was $5.25 miles. My wife's Prius gets 42 mpg and that would...
