Phantom braking changes for me every software release. My wife hates the braking - scares her all the time (although it's usually just hard braking, NOT emergency braking). I was hoping the beta FSD would be better but it seems to just change when it does phantom braking. There is an option to...

My service center said they wouldn't patch tires and recommended discount tires. Discount Tires fixed it for free and also later rotated tires for free. I'm becoming a big fan of them.

Yes, it's pretty neat seeing the backs of vehicles light up with red lights. At least is does that for me in the FSD beta.

I just wrapped a little tape around hitch and that solved the issue for me. It rattled slightly more than my xTerra before adding the tape (but both rattled).

There is not an adjustment. This issue changes with every new software release. I think it's gotten better the last couple of releases, it doesn't happen much anymore. I too am very concerned about getting hit from behind but so far there has always been enough distance behind me.

I can send directions from my iPhone to a Lexus NX200t but it's very clunky/difficult to do (you have to do it from the Enform app). The Tesla way is awesome - I use it all the time.

I have a Lexus NX200t and a Model Y. The Lexus is a few years old and WAS my favorite car for long trips - comfortable although a little cramped since I'm 6'2" (the NX200t is small). We now only take the Y on trips. I've done about 7,000 miles of highway driving in the Y. I feel a lot better...

I asked about this very issue for my last service and was told to just schedule a service and then send a text message from the services section of the app requesting a mobile visit. I just did that and all went well (although the mobile service was about 2 weeks later than an appointment at the...

Sometimes my passenger door didn't close correctly after delivery. It was annoying because unless you looked at the window (partially down) or screen you couldn't tell it wasn't closed. Each time I had to give it an extra push or really slam it hard. Made an appointment with the SC and now the...

I picked mine up on Nov. 7. I pointed out a few issues - I think they had worked on the car at the service center since a panel was missing under the fronk (said it was the first time THAT had ever happened). There were some scratches on the rear bumper and a chip in the paint. They fixed...

Thanks! I'll look into that. Probably just wire one into the MY though.

Oh, I didn't know the beta label is everywhere. Good to know! We didn't have a lot of time to look things over - I was there shortly before closing because we thought we were getting an overnight test drive. I know the Performance MY is not the fastest Tesla but it was enough acceleration to...

RE: first test drive The performance MY just seemed super sensitive to everything and I definitely wasn't expecting it right out of the parking lot. Not sure what all was configured with the beta software but it sure surprised me...especially since I wasn't told it was I was driving the...

I had full regenerative braking for the second test drive. It was a little strange at first but not too hard to get the hang of it. Even worked well in towing mode and was fun to drive without the boat. It had autopilot which convinced me to add that to my order. The dry hull weight of the boat...

Long post, hope ya'll don't mind... Out of the blue I got a text asking if I wanted to test drive a Tesla. After doing some follow up I said yes to the service rep (Ashton). I was nervous about the whole thing - but he knew I had ordered a Cybertruck and the address of the pickup was the "new"...
