    Tire recommendations w/tread to reduce stone throwing?

    Just switched back to my summer wheels/tires (20” uberturbines on stock rubber) and was quite surprised at how much debris the stock tires tend to kick up. It’s night and day versus the snow tires I had on my 19” winter rims. I barely ever heard that happen on the 19’s where every surface I...

    This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

    You know that you can go to the autopilot settings on your car and disable FSD, right? I took longer to type this post that it does to revert back to AP

    $99 FSD take rate

    I'm torn on it. On one hand, since getting the trial, I use it every single day! It removes nearly all my commuting stress which is worth the price of admission alone. I can see myself subscribing, at least for the summer months, but the rub is that it doesn't do a good enough job avoiding...

    NTSB update for Autopilot has me looking for an anti-nag device

    interestingly enough, I've found the TSL6 device and FSD works fantastic. It has barked at me a few times to pay attention which I believe were legitimate nags, but for the most part, I never have to intervene unless it's to disengage FSD for a mistake etc. I do wear glasses though so maybe...

    Buffalo, NY service center?

    darn, just made an appointment for Rochester. I saw Buffalo listed but assumed it must of been a mistake. Good to know for the future BTW. Does anyone have a recommendation for shops to get my model 3 inspected in WNY? I was really hoping Tesla did them, but I learned that they do not... and I...

    Tesla Mobile charger amps reduced to 16 (from 32) from heat.

    Thanks for the information! This is something I didn't even know existed. This whole experience has me wanting to just swap the receptacle with an actual wall charger that's hard wired. I'm thankful that the mobile charger could sense the heat and reduce amps to prevent a fire, but still...

    FSD now $99 a month

    I’m pretty darn happy about this as an owner and an investor. They’ve made it so much more attractive but I do think the price is still too expensive, at least for personal use. Despite the price drop, it’s a difficult thing to justify on top of premium connectivity for a lot of owners that...

    Tesla Mobile charger amps reduced to 16 (from 32) from heat.

    yup, you nailed it. I actually have a box like that but didn't mount it (yet). Guess I know what's happening this weekend. I'm still amazed that such a small gap could cause that resistance, but I can't deny the proof. Thanks for the feedback!

    Tesla Mobile charger amps reduced to 16 (from 32) from heat.

    Hello, I have a 2023 Model 3 Performance and charge at home occasionally when I can't fill up at work. I had a professional electrician I found via Tesla's website install the receptacle and run the wiring in our garage. He suggested using the NEMA 6-50 over the 14-50 mostly due to cost and it...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    So had a few interesting experiences with 12.3.3 I was on a 4 lane road approaching a group of cars stopped at a red light with me being in the right lane approx 4-5 cars back from the intersection. A woman had stopped short in the left lane to allow someone to cross in front of her/me into a...

    What's the pointy piece underneath the rocker panel for?

    I've often wondered the same. Assumed it was related to the aerodynamics

    FSD beta v12.3 pulls the ultimate April Fools joke

    I'm extra vigilant for this exact reason... if I even get the hint that it may curb a wheel (or hit a pothole/debris/etc) I disengage until after I pass the hazard and reengage FSD. Not taking a chance after seeing this happen to several users on here and twitter
