    Anyone else SOLELY relying on supercharging?

    I have free SC. One of the reasons for getting a Tesla is because my family has started doing road trips almost every weekend (40+ a year). I usually SC once going up and once on the way back. I have a home charger, but most of the time I don't have to other than topping off the morning of our...

    Autopilot nag "Apply light force to steering wheel"

    If it's any easier, any input from the steering wheel gets the nag to go away. Some people move the volume up, or down one click and it does the same thing.

    What the chances Tesla cars will be self driving in 3 years? Why do you think that way?

    TBH I think it would be amazing if in the next 3 years we achieve level 3 autonomy as defined by the SAE Level 3 ("eyes off"): The driver can safely turn their attention away from the driving tasks, e.g. the driver can text or watch a movie. The vehicle will handle situations that call for an...

    Autopilot disengagement, driving etc. out of main.

    I may be in the minority, but I appreciate that Tesla has the nags. In previous years there was no nag, or the nag time was greater and people took advantage and did dumb things (remember the orange/grapefruit and other nag defeating devices). As the system improves and there's less need for a...

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    To be honest, other than the edge it looks really good. Wasn't a fan of the way some of the aftermarket ones looked. Unless you look really closely and from certain angles most won't notice, but still shouldn't be having these issues.

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    I got my P3D spoiler and badge earlier this week. They didn't mention the defective spoiler when I dropped my car off. When I got it back I noticed the far right corner edge wasn't holding like the left. I could actually see the adhesive pulling off vertically a tiny bit (maybe the thickness of...

    Supercharger charging speed... what do you get ?

    It may be the winter. Temperature plays a major role in how fast you will charge. A week out of the month I travel a bit for work. On the way home I use to supercharge near my hotel and I'd get less than 25kW, even on urban superchargers. Tesla ran diagnostics and said my battery was just cold...

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    Can't wait for it to makes its way to the Bay Area! Thanks to the people getting their spoilers and dealing with the growing pains as Tesla figures out how to streamline and QA this. Use to drive a P90D and ever since, S and 3s look unfinished to me without them (personal opinion).

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    I've heard of Dual Motor badges being available, but not the Performance badge with the red underline. I'm assuming the P3D+ cars in China with the spoilers are for test drives and media? Does it say if it's the preorder cars? In the US they made plenty of P3D+ cars with spoilers and Performance...

    Most favorite part about driving the M3?

    I've noticed this too. I have friends and family with chronic back pain and the first thing they say when they sit down is that their back doesn't hurt. They're utterly amazed.

    Most favorite part about driving the M3?

    My favorite part is that it's an amazing car everywhere. During the week it gets me through my commute, on the weekend I get to go into the mountains. Friends and family feel very safe and comfortable in it, my friends at work sporting an challenger, M4, 911 and Lotus are blown away by the speed...

    What's the deal with ceramic coating?

    Ceramic coating is basically a longer lasting, hard wax. There are several different kinds from the DIY, to pro stuff. I'm in an expensive part of California and professional stuff goes from $600-$2500 at the top for Cquartz Finest Reserve. The expensive stuff should come with paint correction...

    Discount for demo vehicle?

    The discount they give varies on the spec and reasons for the discount. The more expensive the car, the more margin there seems to be. I got a demo P3D+ with 64 miles on it, not titled and never owned/sold. On inspection the left side mirror looked perfect, but I could tell from the feel it had...

    WHERE is our Carbon Fiber Spoiler and Badging!?!?!

    Saw one case of a new AWD delivery having the AWD badge on it. No word on P3D badges, or spoilers though.
