Never had FSD until this trial (way too expensive for something that I (a) don't need, and (b) doesn't function very well.). Because if the trial I have been using it, mostly in city driving setting, sometimes with little traffic, sometimes with traffic. Being an engineer and understanding how...

This has been happening to my Mar 2021 MYLR, and I have had no damage or repairs in the area. First time around, mobile service replaced the power strut. The problem did go away for quite some time, but eventually recurred. So, more recently, about 1.5 months ago I had them come out again. This...

I did not have to negotiate, but the tires were like 2 days old, that may make a difference. Also, this was Mar 2021, so it makes sense for prices now to be higher, but perhaps not $220. Also, I don't know what role location plays, but here in CA tires are not likely to be subjected to...

Including taxes, fees, etc. $111.20 for MY LR with 4 x Good Year Eagle F1 on it

Yes, I have a plug kit, for when it happens with no alternative like this. But not needed here and prefer the complete approach.

When I got my MY LR in Mar 2021 (only a 3 day wait!) I went to AT and bought tire certificates for all four tires. I don't drive that much, so far only needed one rotation (free), and then Sat late discovered 22psi tire. Found screw in repairable area. AT closed for the day on Sun, so booked...

On a small trip today my Nav was doing some weird things. First of all, it seems to propose an odd route to my destination. I started driving, but where it made sense I deviated from the route to what I would consider "normal" and routing adapted, but it kept suggesting weird things. See...

Got mine a few days ago. No locking pin, and requires a little bit of a push to be inserted. Tested last night on a 50kW station and worked just fine, charging at 44kW.

Americas Tire. I bought warranty certificates from them 2 days after taking possession of my MYLR in Mar 21. Total cost was $111. Because of these I have free tire rotations and protection against damage. Just had my tires rotated, for free indeed.

Based on the fact that your car can show you separate versions for firmware and navigation data I am going to say that the database for the road network is on-board (local). This map contains all road segments (between junctions), and more detailed data for each segment (so you can follow curves...

In another thread it was observed, and discussed, how at least for some, parking the Tesla in a garage can cause it to lose its position, or decrease the accuracy of the position. If this actually happens to you it may be the explanation is that car could then "think" it is not at home. It would...

Also, lets not confuse free SC included in purchase, vs. those acquired through the referral program (which has ended). I ordered and took delivery in Mar 2021 and at the point there was no deal for free SC included, so I got none. I did use a referral, so I did receive 1,000 miles worth...

As I mentioned in my tale: Tesla is actually not acknowledging this as a warranty issue when they do it for free. They were very careful to state all the same things (as designed, etc.), but then list it as "goodwill". This, no doubt, is an attempt to avoid it being forced into a warranty issue...

Mar 2021 MYLR with repeater flare in right side camera. Black version replaced for free, but refuse to call it a "warranty" defect.

It all hinges on the decision that when you open the app, it presents the main screen with the controls. That screen requires contact with the car, and thus causes the wakeup. The immediate contact is required because: * Display current interior temp * Display location * Display version...
