I've had this exact thing happen to me. I'm not 100% sure of what the exact conditions are, and if it requires a car in front of you, but there are scenarios where you are in hold, can have your foot on the break, etc. and then you think you are shifting into drive but you are activating TACC...

We have a Model 3 and have been pretty happy with it for about 2 years. However recently my wife has been dealing with some back issues that have made all car travel a lot more difficult. The 3 is a little more sporty than some of our previous cars, and some of that ride is part of the issue...

How much do you drive every day/week? Any chance of charging at work?

I will have to try from brake hold in controlled circumstances. I don’t think there was a rejection of TACC activation. I don’t remember the sequence of events well enough to say if I put the car into drive a second time, just that something unexpectedly accelerated the car at a time when I...

definitely had to unlock the car, or at least I did it before I stopped because I knew I was going to be stopping on the street and wanted to make sure she could get in quickly. I don’t really remember hitting drive before I started up again but that is the only explanation I can think of. I’m...

I had something happen yesterday that I could imagine happening to others, and while it didn't end in any problems for me it was startling for sure. I have thought about it, and I'm pretty sure it can be explained as not a 'bug' or car failure, but it might be an instance of bad design and...

I had this happen one time on my charger, my wife had plugged it in. I think she didn’t push the charger plug in quite enough. Nothing wrong with the car or the plug in my case. Unplugged it, plugged it in again and never happened again.

My wife also has some back issues that sound similar, she has found the Model 3 to be better than her Subaru. The car is very easy to drive, which has helped a lot, and has allowed her to reduce/avoid some of the painful motions that go along with driving. When I'm driving with her in the car I...

I'm loathe to further inflame things, because there is no way to know some of this for sure, but with modern logistics and testing in the silicon world, it's very achievable to take and as part of the manufacturing process run a series of tests on the silicon and motors themselves right at the...

This had never happened to me before, but a bunch of things got scrambled with 28.3.1. It coincided with me mapping keys to profiles, with a bunch of settings (NOA, chill mode, steering preference) all getting changed.

I would actually like sort of the reverse of this. We have a parking spot that takes a bit of maneuvering to get into and tucks in close to a wall on the drivers side in an ideal stopping point. It would be great if I could identify the spot and through a combination of GPS and camera reference...

I had this happen once after a trip. I decided to use the frunk to store a bunch of frozen food in a cooler. Went straight from the freezer to the car. Frunk was sealed the whole trip. I think the seal on the frunk is very tight, and so any moisture that gets in there stays in there. In our...

Bellevue, Wa service center last month, $585 for parts, $200 labor (plus tax). On ours they only performed "Pre-calibration of forward camera" and left a note that said we will need additional driving before calibration was complete. Took another 30 mins or so of driving before it finished.

Seems very inconsistent, after getting a big crack from a rock hit this weekend, scheduled for service at closest service center and was told no ETA try again August 30th, tried at a different service center 10 miles away and they confirmed my appointment for tomorrow. My insurance company sent...

I supercharged a couple of times last week on a trip and noticed > 500mph charging a couple of times, it displayed for sure on the mobile app, and I think the screen matched, but I don't have a screenshot to prove it.
