    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Having used FSD beta for about a week, I’d say that it’s gonna be several years before I get comfortable relying on this tech. It’s basically overly confident in areas where it shouldn’t be and extremely indecisive in situations where confidence is critical. I don’t think I’ve gone 1 min without...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I got approved earlier this week but my score was a 93. I wasn’t expecting to get approved and just completely forgot about the score for the last 3 months. I do have to say that FSD is a bit nerve racking. Making turns at intersections are so slow and choppy.

    I can anyone is interested or sees a same issue

    Door handles keep going in/out

    This recently started happening to me as well. Strangely it’s only on the right side of the car and it even happens when the car is in park and I’m sitting in it. Perhaps it has something to do with recent software updates?

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Hoping someone can help with this. I started having some random issues with the right door handles this week where they present themselves randomly while the car in in park. Today I sat in the car (drivers seat) with YouTube running and saw that the right door handles (both passenger and rear)...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I think the question is more what “can you do”. Option 1: cancel and reorder now - I wouldn’t do this. Option 2: change your vacation dates: seeing how the delivery dates will most likely change again, I would not recommend it. Option 3: stick with it. My delivery dates changed like 25 times...

    Just saw that the Tesla model s mudflaps are available through the app again. I know there’s been some comments about it scraping the ground, but better than nothing?

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I seem have this issue where my side mirror (passenger side) always points in some weird direction, especially if the auto tilt is enabled. It rarely goes back to the profile settings and I have to touch the profile name again for it to reset properly. Is that a known issue? I put this into...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I’m curious how you are doing this since I didn’t really understand it when it tried to use the feature. I see two options for summon: 1) summon to yourself and 2) summon to a target. Are you setting it to go to the target? Also, there’s an option within the car to not require holding down the...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Yeah I think this makes sense. I think I’m at the point where getting the actual FSD isn’t worth the hassle of trying to get a good score that caters to Tesla standards. I do have to keep an eye on what autopilot does on the local roads. And like you said, I interrupt it relatively frequently to...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I actually get most of the dings on a regular road with autopilot, not on the freeway. I did get one hard braking issue with autopilot in the freeway but then resolved that by changing the cruise distance to 4 or 5. Almost all of the issues are from some sort of hard braking, mostly when using...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    I gave up on the safety score. It dings you even if Auto Pilot does some wonky phantom braking or when it can’t anticipate a problem coming. After several weeks of enabling, I found that almost all of my “red” marks came from instances where autopilot was engaged. If you want the beta FSD, I’d...

    Washington State: Model S Plaid/LR waiting room

    Adding a few pics after a quick wash. Front and back mats are from Tesla, trunk is from Tesmanian. Overall a great looking car with very minimal paint issues. Again the only big issue is with some of the panel alignment and also the rear quarter panel where it houses the tail light, which...
