    Cool EV Bumper Magnet - Patriots Drive EVs

    Can't use in my area, vehicle would be vandalized by Jets or Giants fans.

    Buyer beware. Buying a CPO Tesla feels like a SCAM.

    Our family had two Model 3 reservations. Both received configure emails. One was cancelled at the time of the Alcantara switch. Tesla was told it was not because of the material but because of the way that the change was handled and they needed to improve their communication with customers. The...

    PAST EVENT: Join Florida Tesla Enthusiasts & Tesla for a Cars & Coffee at Ace Cafe Orlando

    Are you still planning to bring your Model 3? I can't attend but my wife will if one will be there. We have an invite to configure but are on the fence having not seen one in person.

    Speculators speculate! Monthly subscription for Autopilot eventually?

    El gusto es mio! (in Mexico at the moment). You are right, AP will be as standard as seat belts. However there will still be some who prefer driving without it just as there are a few of us still driving manual transmissions.

    Speculators speculate! Monthly subscription for Autopilot eventually?

    Maybe by the time I am 80 AP will be safer than I am. What you are not getting is how I drive compared to how AP does. I constantly analyze the road ahead and avoid situation that present danger and avoid them. I will not go into the various scenarios but will give one simple example, I may see...

    Speculators speculate! Monthly subscription for Autopilot eventually?

    First tell me how you know a system that has had many reported errors (sudden braking, abrupt lane changes, straying out of lanes, etc.) is safer for me to use than my driving without it with a record of 30 years of driving without an accident. This is your claim. "Humans > AP Humans + AP >...

    Speculators speculate! Monthly subscription for Autopilot eventually?

    If you are not alert and attentive, you shouldn't be driving with or without AP.

    Speculators speculate! Monthly subscription for Autopilot eventually?

    Clearly we have never met. I drove a Model S with autopilot and do not want it. I am a very conservative driver with an IT background. My last accident (hitting a deer when a group of six bolted single file out of bushes across a narrow road) happened over 30 years ago and AP would not have...

    Speculators speculate! Monthly subscription for Autopilot eventually?

    Monthly subscription is doubtful. Free trial makes a lot of sense. No downside for Tesla I can see and lots of upside. Not this year but when it is a more polished product I would not be surprised.

    Model 3 Rear Drive Unit Failed?

    You were lucky you were located near a service center. Think about poor Starman when his battery prematurally died. "Starman and his electric-car-turned-spacecraft were equipped with cameras that live-streamed the car’s journey as it floated through space. Unfortunately, the Roadster’s...

    If you leave your phone inside your car, your car never locks

    Just to be clear if for example I go to the beach and want to leave my phone in a locked Tesla 3, I can log out of my Tesla account and the car will lock? I realize I will need to keep the card with me to enter.
