    FSD computer Needs to be replaced outside warranty

    Once you're out of warranty they'll charge you down to the bolts. Its ridiculous. I went there today for another issue and now they're trying to blame it on water damage from rainfall when the issue has happened before under poor inclement weather conditions. Its just the same thing where the...

    Lifetime Premium Connectivity pre-July 2018

    Similarly if you had put down a reserve order since 2016 and changed it any time after that date to even upgrade to M3P with all options they still claim you "ordered" it after June 29, 2018, which is technically correct, but a nice little burn for someone who helped finance the car even existing.

    Might be returning AWD 3 (advice request)

    I apologize about that misunderstanding. Fair enough then. Still if he is rapidly accelerating to 80 that would consume far more energy than a gradual acceleration. But you are saying he is pretty much crusiing at 80... I hate to say that with the HVAC on auto at 71... for that amount of time...

    HW3

    Most likely because the jump from AP1 to AP2 involved almost a total rewrite of their AP code. AP1 utilized MobilEye EyeQ3 which Tesla claimed was slowing down FSD progress. When AP2 first came out, it didn't even have high beam support or auto wiper support. Things quickly progressed from...

    No-confirmation NOAP is here for the masses!

    Did you see the road lines themselves curving or moving on the display? This is something I have noticed frequently in .3 where it tries to establish the center of the road. It could be a camera alignment issue or maybe, literally, require recalbration. Try driving 40+ miles with no AP at all...

    5% power increase

    Check out also here: 2018 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor vs. Performance Dyno Results I have not seen a dyno test after the latest update, but someone will no doubt do it, and will probably reflect an improved torque curve.

    Sales Calls in the Model 3, Gas Verses Electric

    I do not have this issue but I am also accustomed to wearing sunglasses when driving during the day. I have found doing a windshield tint on any car to turn out to be an absolute nightmare for night driving whereas there aren't many street lights. Its like wearing sunglasses at night, just not...

    Tesla M3 Nearly Tangles With Semi (Dashcam video)

    It is legal to cross a solid white if it avoids an accident. Or, you know, let the giant truck over instead of trying to wiggle your way into his blindspot, instead of thinking about the dozen cameras on your car protecting you.

    Might be returning AWD 3 (advice request)

    Since I also live in the same state, I am wondering where the speed limit is anywhere near 80-85MPH... Not saying he shouldn't regularly be driving at that speed, but yes, saying it, since its an accident waiting to happen. If not otherwise posted, the state speed limit is literally 55MPH. I'd...

    Might be returning AWD 3 (advice request)

    If he doesn't like the car with its current range with AC on, is he really going to like it in 7 days? Can he handle supercharging more than he may like? If not, return.

    Serious question 20" Tesla alloy wheels vs. TSportline 18" Forged

    Thanks I appreciate your response. It may serious influence what I do going forward. If not now then maybe even a year from now.

    Might be returning AWD 3 (advice request)

    If he put in a reservation 3 years ago like I did, many people, including Tesla itself, claimed that the range difference between AWD and RWD would be negligible. Not to mention, many superfans made the comment that AWD efficiency had been improven on the S in prior updates. I am not attacking...

    Car heating up when parked upwards of 90 degrees farenheit

    With any electronic components what you really need to worry about is dogged humidity and not necessarily heat. If the cabin is like a greenhouse filled with vapor when you open the doors I'd turn on the climate control just in case... but if its dry heat, I'd say nothing to worry about.

    Serious question 20" Tesla alloy wheels vs. TSportline 18" Forged

    I own the Tesla Model 3P+. I went all out on this car. Yes, I went crazy on this car. All options. I have a bit of a soon-to-be-serious or never serious problem. Upon closer inspection, very minor wheel bending was noticed on my 20" perf. wheels from Tesla. Damn. Its not the end of the world...

    2019.8.2

    Its 5% peak power meaning the car can use more power. It doesn't mean the car is 5% more efficient in using that power. On the RWD LR they did change the calculation of rated mileage as it has been found to have better range than AWD variants. And the rotating magnet in the rear has increased...
