Replaced mine pro-actively on my M3D prior to 2nd cross country winter trip in Dec. 2020 (@ approx. 39K miles). Had heard of folks being stranded without warning, so pick-up replacement on my nickel from Tesla service and installed myself...cheap insurance. The OEM M3 battery continues duty in...

I had to message them and ask for the tech to call me before I'd show for the scheduled appointment. The tech called me the day before my service appointment and we briefly discussed my requirement for same day repair or a loaner vehicle, and that the needed parts had arrived. Perhaps I...

Sorry for your problems. Yeah, when things get disassembled extensively as was your HVAC case, the odds of something getting damaged or reassembled incorrectly go up significantly. It's disappointing that Tesla didn't get you a loaner or at least Uber credits. Perhaps you could attempt...

Hope we don't have to wait for Karpathy to return before we get any more updates...starting to seem that way for me (2021.44.30.21). I figure there's no need for me to report disengagements (push camera icon) anymore since I'm using an obsolete version.

Why wouldn't Tesla cover the repair?:rolleyes: This clearly falls under the extended powertrain warranty even if not a recall item?

My M3 is a 2018, so I hope they fixed the underlying problem on newer models. There is a service bulletin for the earlier models, to add a field installed electronic "filter" to help prevent false "passenger restraint system fault" messages. So it shouldn't cost anything if it's covered by a...

Sounds like you will need to bite the bullet and install it the like the commercial installs...Tesla sign optional.

Yeah, I never say the update either on my 2018 LRD. My indicated range at 100% charge at delivery was 308 mi. and today at 62k miles it indicates 280 miles.

Yeah, it was the HV battery breathers (vents) replacement (SB-19-16-010), which supposedly helps with battery banging during cold weather charging or regen. Had it done just to see if it would make a difference but not sure how much it helped.

Wow, that's the same 100% battery range reading I get at full charge (283miles), but I've only got 60K miles including two Washington to Florida round trips. I have replaced OEM Michelins at 24K miles with X-ice on the 18" aero rims and put 19" VMR wheels and Continental tires for summer use...

If NHTSA or any regulatory agency really was concerned about auto safety, all they'd need to do is make cell phone providers disable the phones while moving at greater than 5 mph. Most of the new auto safety systems would not have been needed prior to the era of socially acceptable...

And back to FSD 10.5! My experience with FSD 10.3, .4 and .5 has me believing that each version is showing improvement. Yes, some phantom braking is still in 10.5, but not nearly as bad as 10.4. My experience is that 10.5 no longer unexpectedly "dives" into right or left turn lanes as...

So as bad as it is, 10.4 in Chill mode with NOA, beats Waymo in head to head drive. Tesla FSD 10.4 VS Waymo

As much as we bash it, FSD beta 10.4 in Chill mode (& NOA) beats Waymo in Phoenix. Tesla FSD 10.4 VS Waymo

AI DRIVR just posted a pretty impressive 10.4 beta drive in San Francisco FSD BETA (almost) handles San Francisco . It makes 10.4 look pretty good, and perhaps it's optimized for the Bay area.
