Actually I don't and I suppose that I can just step on the accelerator to speed up a bit. However, my hope is that the software in the future can do two things better, 1)be able to more clearly identify objects (for example when my dog sticks her head out the back passenger window, the display...

By the way, another safety trick to use in town is to look at the pedestrian lights that will count down so the pedestrian knows whether to start across the street. As a driver that will tell you whether you will make the light or whether the yellow is imminent (there are campaigns out there to...

Yes we have had false positives. There can be some very good reasons why someone may want to hug the side of the road and yet when I do I get the "screech", "screech", "screech". For example, when an emergency vehicle is approaching we are required by law to pull over to the side of the road...

What provisions have they made in case of an earthquake?

I have tried the AP trial twice and have gone back to just the plain Cruise Control. There are a couple of reasons. First, the AP wants the car to stay in the middle of its lane. When passing a semi I want the car to give more room on the right and less on the left. Sure enough when we were...

My guess is that towards the end of Q1 they started sending cars to Canada, thinking that Q2 would be when the 200,000 M3 would be sold. That was assuming that the production rate would be approaching 5,000 per week. That didn't happen so now Tesla will, with two pauses in Q2, slip the...

You have one advantage over those of us receiving our vehicles now. Tesla will have time to work all the "bugs" out of the cars. Much ballyhoo has been made of a few cosmetic (and some cases of functional flaws). However, I have not seen any true statistical sampling done on the 20,000 Model...

I agree, the 18" wheels are less prone to damage from potholes than the 19" because there is a little more rubber between the wheel and the pothole.

People today are looking for "sound bites". I would suggest that before the car is driven each day, that it displays a menu of 30 second (no longer than a minute) topics covering just one feature apiece. Of course there would be an "opt out" button to send these topics to a folder somewhere in...

One trick perhaps you haven't tried is to lightly touch the brake pedal so that the tires can move while the steering wheel is being turned. When the brake is depressed hard as in a full stop what you've said is exactly true. Thus, by releasing some of the pressure on the brake pedal should...

I have a 40A 240V circuit connected to an AeroVirnoment EVSE. Its rated output is 30A, thus I'm getting around 7.2 kW which translates to 29 miles per hour of charge. As many have said, that is plenty. I calculated my requirements based on my driving habits. As it turns out 10 hours of...

We just received and configured our Model 3 this afternoon. We are in AZ and reserved on 3/31/16 just after the Model 3 was revealed. A minute or so after the cover was off the car, we reserved. Obviously we are on-line, and non owner. We configured, red, RWD, PUP, Aero and no autopilot...

I would think that if this was a new piece of equipment that there would be a schedule for the installation so that workers would have some time to get ready for a week without a paycheck. However, that being said, I also can see the possibility that some engineer has come up with some sort of...

Just wondering, has Troy altered the estimated delivery spreadsheet to account for this latest delay?

Perhaps Tesla is favoring the 19" wheels in order to squeeze out just a little more margin.
