The Tesla service center just sent me a text. They said their tech reviewed the logs from my car. What I experienced was automatic emergency braking. They said the car is operating as intended. So, now I know.

Do you get any type of info alert letting you know that AEB activated? I get alerts when I get out of my lane and it has to correct the steering, so I assumed it would.

I believe I was within 1 car length. I was stopping on my own and would have came to a complete stop within maybe 1/2 car length. It was close, but not what I would consider 'danger close'. I just got a text from Tesla service asking me details. They said a virtual tech was going to review it...

I have had this happen two times now in the past month, and have a service visit set for 20-Jan. I don't know if it is a braking failure, or AEB kicking in. In both instances, Autopilot is not engaged, I have been coming up to a redlight where the car in front of me is slowing. I let off the...

I saw a video posted of someone doing a 0-60 after the boost upgrade. With me using my ultra scientific stopwatch held next to the computer screen, I timed it four times and each time got right around 3.6 seconds.

Thanks for your feedback. I got my 2019 LR AWD a few months ago. I wanted a Stealth, but there were none available and I didn't think anymore were going to be made (according to the Tesla SA's), so I settled. I knew then that I would have buyers remorse if any more Stealth's hit the lots, and...

Go test it out and report back on your seat of the pants feel.

Ok, so this car new (pre 2019.36.2.1 software) was listed as 4.4s. Then after the 5% increase from the software update, the posted 0-60 times never changed, but how could they not have with a 5% increase? Now, with another upgrade being offered for $2k, what is the real world upgrade? It...

Please send me a contact as well. My wife is so on board that she told me this weekend to just go and get the regular Performance model. Any other time I would have probably jumped on the opportunity to get something while still claiming the ability to say "but you said to just go get it"...

I am likely ordering a new LR AWD tomorrow, but saw that used Performance model and stopped long enough to ponder it.

Great, I really appreciate the candor. Thank you!

The only thing I think would make a difference is if it had full self-driving enabled. Agree or disagree? Thanks for your feedback.

I'm looking at a used 2018 Model 3 Performance. It has 19k miles. Red exterior with white interior. The price is $49,600. I don't know yet what AP version (AP, EAP, FSD) it has yet but I am going to find out tomorrow. Would it be worth $49k if it was just AP? What would you do? Buy or pass?

He said they were all gone in the US. It's unknown if and when they'll be back.

This is good to know. Do these cars get released in batches on any type of schedule or is it just ad hoc depending on demand for certain areas?
