    Please help connecting to Wifi

    Hi, I am trying to connect to wi-if - either my home WiFi (which extends to my garage) or my phone hotspot. I read on the Tesla site “Touch Controls > Wi-Fi icon at the top of the Controls screen. Model 3 begins to scan and display detected Wi-Fi networks that are within range.” On controls...

    No connectivity

    Yep, I have had the exact same issue for the past 6 months or so. I did mention when i was in getting a service and they didn’t see a problem and it hasn’t been fixed. I just canceled premium connectivity because there is no point paying when most of the time I don’t have connectivity!! I...

    What did I get for EAP?

    I purchased EAP for my 2020 M3 when it was made available last year. I don’t do a lot of highway driving so I’ve questioned whether it’s been worth it. Summon was a one time use party trick, and other than indicated lane change I’d never know I’ve got it. I live in Austin and needed to go on...

    Is $10K too much?

    For my lifetime of using a Tesla - NO, but per car because it’s not transferable- YES. I wonder if the other car manufacturers will starting adding FSD features free or cheaper to eat into Tesla’s EV lead - it’s a clear and obvious way of differentiating against Tesla. Even if they only offer...

    Why is FSD not transferable to your next Tesla?

    Great question. Bottom line is that it is the ONLY thing preventing me buying FSD. I will likely own a Tesla for the foreseeable future, but it won’t be my current M3 SR+, so paying $8k (now $10k) extra for every car is like asking me to pay a stupid tax.

    Enhanced Autopilot is BACK!!

    Does anyone know if EAP will continue to get improvements or will Tesla only add services to FSD?

    Advanced Autopilot question

    Thank you. Can I just confirm what you mean by “limited highway”? Also, would the car make 90 degree turns with FSD?

    Advanced Autopilot question

    Hi, I have a M3 that had autopilot included, and I just paid $4000 for advanced autopilot. I wanted it for navigate on autopilot. I tried a drive today. I put in “Home” on the map to navigate to and then turned on autopilot. I assumed it would follow the route on the map, but I came to a...

    Just turned off sentry mode

    I parked at a hotel and took advantage of their free J1772 charger. I stopped my car charging (via the app) at 235 miles at about 9 pm, this morning it had 223 miles and by midday it was down to 216! I switched off sentry mode and it’s staying around 215. Sentry Mode is not worth it, too much...

    Several Questions on Sentry Mode

    On a related note - I get 3 or so Sentry Mode events every time I park in a car park. I guess it is sensitive enough that it triggers even if a car parks next to me? I was expecting Sentry Mode to only trigger if my car touched or jostled. With so many ‘false alarms’ it’s frustrating.

    Collective wisdom - anything I am overlooking before taking delivery??

    This is common, I had to wait a few days for my first update. Switch updates to “Advanced” and just wait... ;-(. I’m surprised Tesla lets their cars leave the delivery center without the very latest update - imagine buying an new iPhone that is on IOS 12!

    FSD pre vs post delivery - cost, tax and insurance questions

    I ordered on Oct 20th and my account showed $6k price for FSD, along with “$6000 if added after delivery” (I took a screenshot), all the way up until delivery date of Dec 1st. It did not change to $7k after Nov 1st. Thanks for the tax comment - this isn’t clear during the delivery process, so...

    FSD pre vs post delivery - cost, tax and insurance questions

    I can appreciate this POV - personally I’d like to think buying a car is a more stable process than buying on, say, eBay - we shouldn’t have to hit “refresh” to check the price is still the same. Anyway, I’d just like to have this conversation with someone at a higher level of support within...

    FSD pre vs post delivery - cost, tax and insurance questions

    Hi, I ordered my M3 SR+ in October and FSD was a $6k option. On my account page it continued to show $6k price for before AND after delivery even after the increase to $7k. Since the before and after delivery price was the same I decided to wait until after delivery so I could evaluate basic AP...

    Service center was sold out of 14-50 adapter, fastest way to get one?

    I gave up on my 6-50 adapter order after a month of waiting (and no response to emailing the store) so I was about to order from EVSE Adapters – Electric vehicle charging solutions, adapter cords for EV, RV, welders, and more. Charge anywhere. (for a similar price), but decided to try the local...
