    New Tesla/EV owner and first-time FSD beta user - is this a joke?

    TACC and AP for single lane highway use or very infrequent lane changes worked much better for me before FSDb. The distance pacing and lane change frequency (even with 'minimal' selected) make it borderline unusable IMO. Not the mention the phantom braking frequency uptick. I get the...

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    People love to ignore the literal words of the Tesla website (which have fluctuated wildly since 2017) with regards to FSD.

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    Bad faith is never going to result in real answers to your questions, if that's what you're actually looking for.

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    Elon Musk has one of the highest social media followings of all time. He was crazy popular even before Tesla really took off with Model 3 production. Comparing his outreach to the CEO of BMW is disingenuous at best. Heck you don't even have to leave this thread to see that many are drinking...

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    I wasn't but the response is wild nonetheless. I just can't believe we live in the same reality.

    Growing FSD liability could be massive.

    When I purchased FSD the website looked exactly like what Matias just posted. Please enlighten me on how most of those promises have been delivered?

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Adding a data point: June 2018 LR RWD, 17k miles, 242 Wh/m lifetime, down to 293 miles full charge. I have stopped using TeslaFi but at last log in I had the worst rated range of their population which was ~120 vehicles.

    No range loss!

    Don't worry man I'm doing my part to bring down your contribution to the avg. There are only 3 cars on TeslaFi worse than me.

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    Yes it was. So at least you got 4 years covered.

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    Possible he was just saying stuff to make me feel better. It's also possible his experience in central FL is skewed with very hot temps.

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    I was faulting the 7 day schedule for simple battery swap, ICE cars do not have that issue lol. I'm not grandstanding about EV's or unique design, just Tesla's service issues. If this problem really did take 7 days to fix you're darn right I would have sold the car. To update the thread: A...

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    I do not have any non-Tesla accessories in or attached to my vehicle, aside from a USB thumb drive. Should have mentioned I was planning on going to the SC today regardless, if the car starts anyways. This morning I received a text that a mobile tech "may" be able to fit me in between...

    12V Battery Failure Experience

    Walked out to my vehicle after work today to find it totally unresponsive with a blank screen. The windows and locks worked (extremely lethargically) but the phone app indicated that there was no connection. Attempts at restarting did not work. Luckily I had a jump starter battery pack in my...

    Regenerative braking reduced message appeared while driving

    I'm getting 5-6 dots intermittently at 80% range and 80 degree weather lately. If the dots are there I definitely feel the regen limitations. Something is definitely not right.

    If Tesla restarted selling the LR RWD model, what would its range be?

    My LR RWD on 40.2.1 is getting 297 so...
