    Tesla is capping batteries again to get more sales?

    it's actually one of the best strategy out of Tesla so far yet IMO. They can slowly increase battery capacity as it ages so the owner won't experience reduced range. And You can charge to 100% all the time where in reality is only say 80% of full battery capacity (slower battery degradation). I...

    Sun visors annoyances

    my passenger side visor works well, but driver side sucks. It's the typical Tesla crappy quality issue. It works great when it does, and doesn't when it doesn't. The driver side always come off whenever I flip the visor down. I have never have so many little things/issues with any of my...

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    2023.26.7 seems to revert back to zoom at fixed level even if you are not navigating. This is so crappy. I might've figured out what caused this. It's the "default" state. If you change the map view (doesn't matter how) that caused the upper right corner "N" symbol to go from solid black to...

    Hold map in one spot

    Yeah, that's the trick I've been using since reading this thread. But needing to do this on a 50k+ car is just wrong. Just allow us to disable dynamic zooming. Most if not all of Tesla's "We know better" features turn out to be just crap. It really feels like the coders don't actual use the...

    Hold map in one spot

    The dynamic zooming is really annoying. It practically makes navigation useless for me. I'm considering cancelling the premier connectivity all together and just use my phone for navigation moving forward. It's amazing how Tesla gave us a huge screen and somehow make it useless at the same...

    Extreme battery loss on Model 3 (˜10% per day) since 2023.20.4.1. Contacted service and told this is normal (more info below)

    Just sit tight and wait for a class action lawsuit. This is the best way. Remember the Apple throttle gate? They lower CPU performance for older phones to "preserve your battery power to give you a better experience". If enough folks experience the same thing, there will be a lawsuit to...

    Does Cabin Overheat “No A/C” mode work for anyone?

    for me it doesn't seem to do anything. no A/C mode under direct sun light about 80 outside temp would get my car interior above 130 without A/C. I even tried to turn the feature on/off just to compare. The interior temp doesn't seem to change without A/C.

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    nope. not for my use case. still a giant middle finger in navigating mode. but I’ve discovered a new voice command though.

    Refresh Map Auto-Center/Auto Zooms with 2023.6.8

    Tesla SW is just crap. I want to zoom out a little bit during navigation so I can see the up comeing turnS. Not just the immediate turn. I keep pinch zoom out and voice command "zoom out". 5 seconds later, it zoomed back in to show me the road that I can see with my eyes which is going...

    AC on Manual but Recirculate keeps reverting to Auto

    I'm seeing the same thing and it's frustrating as hell. When I leave my hvac in manual it means manual. All these "we know what setting is better than the driver" crap is just killing the whole driving experience. I just need a modern EV instead of petro car. I don't need a smart car. Can...

    Most requested features list

    Charging range. A sliding window with adjustable size so I can configure say 40% - 60%. All I need to do is to plugin my car every night and it'll start charging when the power dropped below 40% and charged up to 60%.

    Cabin Overheat...or Not?

    I understand a feature has its intended usage. It doesn't mean I as the consumer (paying owner) couldn't use it for my intention. Apolo 13 landing module wasn't intend to be a life supporting module either. Having a car sitting under hot summer many years cause interior to degrade much faster...

    Cabin Overheat...or Not?

    I started to enable it just few weeks ago and encountered bunch of weird configuration issues. I have subsequently settled to just air and no AC. Lowering the cabin temp down to around 105 degree F is overkill IMO. With outside temp about 80F, my cabin gets to 130+F. I think it's not...

    Garbage GUI design

    Just to report that after new FW update. The car was back to the funky state where enabling cabin overheating protection automatically enabled schedule departure after I pressed the "schedule" button in climate control. Once I proceed to set the schedule time and then disable the feature...
