I just picked up a new to me 2017 90D a few days ago and of course two days into ownership one of the rear seats gets stuck down. I figure, hey, this is now an 8 year old platform. Surely someone has fixed one of these. And it would appear that no, that is not the case. The official word from...

You're acting as if this car doesn't already exist in the world and thus, is impossible to value. In reality, there are plenty of cars just like yours and the market has established a pretty clear value for such cars. Long term value propositions like the ones you keep repeating, are...

Respectfully, it's not about averages. It's about edge cases and if you can't solve for every edge case then you don't have full self driving. What you have is this new made up nomenclature that Tesla calls Autosteer on city streets, which most people seem to think is full self driving when in...

Before anyone calls me a hater, I paid and upgraded to FSD/ HW3 this summer in my Model 3. I'm excited for the promise that has been made to me but I was also excited for the same promise when it was made to me 5 years ago after Tesla's sudden split with Mobileye forced them to create their own...

Duplicate post. My apologies.

Hey all, it's been a few years since I've posted regularly but it seems like this isn't the place to go for used Teslas any longer. Am I wrong? Back in 2015 - 2016 there'd be posts from the same day on page 4. Now it seems there's posts from 3 days ago on the first page. If this isn't the place...

Remember everyone grabbing FSD to get smart summon? These cool looking features end up being parlor tricks. If owners are being honest, I would posit that an overwhelming majority used smart summon several times upon it's release and have used it a handful of times since. It's legit embarrassing...

With all due respect, it's not about how astounding the odds are or what a difficult problem this is to overcome. I don't think anyone doubts that it's a difficult problem to overcome and that's the point. Surely Tesla knew the same thing in 2017. So were they incompetent or were they...

Also FSD is a complete farce and I can't reasonably bring myself to upgrade from EAP given how comically poor the car performs in just about any edge case. I don't think we'll ever see true level 5 full self driving with the current hardware suite and I LOVE Elon Musk but I think what Tesla has...

You're old fashioned or (and I know this might be a shocker) human beings are nuanced and not everything is black and white. I live in Southern California. We have some of the best driving roads in the world. We also have some of the worst traffic in the world. There are plenty of opportunities...

I've always loved this color. Just sent you a message.

I turned in my P85D in March of 2019. They gave me a 10 day grace period. I made an appointment, they quickly inspected it, billed me for additional mileage and that was it.

That was my thought as well. That's why I really want to get a meter on it but was hoping there was some other common issue.

I’ve owned and worked on salvage Tesla’s before. I’m not new to the game and already chased down and fixed a bunch of issues on this car. I don’t have the car in front of me to troubleshoot though and thought I’d ping the collective experience of others to see if there was a well known reason...

Hey guys and gals! I'm looking at a salvage Model 3 and have a few questions. Things appear to have changed a lot since I had my last salvage Model S in 2015. The car has a 12v battery warning despite having had it's battery replaced with a new one the owner bought from Tesla. Is this is a...
