    Tesla now keeps all the SRECs [SREC = Solar Renewable Energy Credits]

    I live in NJ and am late to this discussion. I’m confused about how Tesla calculates the value of available incentives. According to its website, 14.40 kW Solar Panels $30,384 Cash Price $30,384 Federal Tax Credit -$5,017 Solar Renewable Energy Credit -$11,088 Price After Potential...

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    I agree that station is surprisingly good. It’s difficult to find I’m Too Sexy on it, but it has a lot of other good dumb songs.

    Slacker downgraded to free slacker?

    Worse is that I think Slacker is intentionally burying the requested song now. At first with my Model 3 (2018), the voice requested song would play 90 percent of the time. I believe Elon touted that capability at one point. It was a fantastic feature. Couldn't successfully voice request the...

    "Play [music]" voice command brings up search results and no longer starts music automatically

    This is very annoying. Also not that easy to tap on the top result - I’m tall but it’s still a bit of a reach while bouncing around a bit driving. This is a significant backward step. It doesn’t seem like it should be that hard to fix so the fact that a new major update came out and the...

    Error message: “Autopilot Safety/Convenience Features Unavailable”

    “Autopilot Safety/Convenience Features Unavailable” Probably need to recalibrate radar.

    Tesla glass: corners were cut

    I’m with OP. After 30 years of driving and never requiring windshield repair, within a few months of having my Model 3 I had one small chip on the driver’s side that grew into a massive crack overnight necessitating replacement, and then soon after the replacement another chip that thankfully...

    playing songs from voice control in v10

    Same for me. Hoping this change isn’t permanent.

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    I haven’t been updated yet but once Netflix and YouTube revert to WiFi only (instead of the current free LTE), when you are not in a WiFi area you should be able to tether from your phone so you can watch things on the big screen, correct?

    How many Teslas you see a day?

    We’ve really hit a tipping point on Model 3s in central/northern NJ. From when I got my car in July through maybe 2-3 months ago, I saw very few. Then maybe 1-2 a day. But over the past month or so there seems to have been an explosion and I’m seeing about 10 a day now. Which strikes me as...

    PSA: CAREFUL--Autopilot sudden braking

    This has happened to me 5 or 6 times recently while using AutoPilot. I’m on 2019.8.3. In each case I think the shadow of the car ahead of me in the adjacent lane freaked the system into suddenly braking. It probably thought those cars were coming over into my lane even though they weren’t...

    Will the Model Y have third row seating?

    European Model 3 owners: How do you like the vehicle so far?

    A few translated via Google Translate: Acceleration is faster than my old S85 of course. And the Model 3 feels somewhat tighter / sharper / more direct / nervous than the S. Not necessarily better for my taste, but different. Finishing (inside and outside), I think look fine, but am not someone...

    Lifetime Wh/mi

    Lifetime 232 wh/mi over 4,000 mostly highway miles with my LR using aeros. I drive @75-80 mph when I can (when the commuter traffic relents). I’ve reset Trip A a couple of times and over longish stretches, it also has ended up at 232 wh/mi. I guess 232 is my destiny.

    Tesla backing away from "Phone Key as primary key"

    With over 3,000 miles now my Phone as Key has worked as intended exactly once (without me having to do anything except walk up to my car). Every other time I leave the phone in my pocket, the car completely fails to recognize it either to unlock the doors or to put the car in gear (if I have...
