When pulling out of a tight parallel parking spot, it will work far better to turn on the indicator before beginning to crank the steering wheel hard to exit. I suppose this maneuver can be learned, but it will not come naturally (at least for me).

Bumping this again. Has anyone discovered (1) why the deck hole is now gone (simply noise reduction?) and (2) whether those of us with older builds can fill in our deck hole with no negative consequences?

I believe both extra weight and less efficiency due to the additional front drive unit (unlike when the AWD model S was superior in range to the RWD model S). Why did Tesla kill the RWD model 3 — too much competition for model S?

Are they still switching the 'free' color from black to non-metallic white? If so, that could create some temporary demand at current prices.

More votes for: Blind spot monitoring lights in the side view mirrors. (Yes, I have my mirrors positioned correctly bu I prefer an alert.) Cross-traffic monitoring Reduce road noise New ones? Use supplemental side view camera for parallel parking Better quality paint job Lower prices for...

Any update on this issue?

IMO, if you can afford it and can charge it without stress, go ahead!

I’m on board with on line sales as long as Tesla dramatically improves descriptions of the each model and feature. For example, we should see good photos of the new cloth seats and the new manual seat and steering column adjustments.

How are Model 3 gen 1 vs gen 2 front seats different? Thanks in advance.

Tried using NoA for three consecutive days commuting to work and unlike Autopilot which I love to use, NoA is scary and unpredictable. To me, it is too stressful to monitor. Be hyper vigilant. I’m giving up until I read consistent reports on TMC that it is working great and a true...

Super interesting topic (to me). Once engine, exhaust and transmission noise are eliminated, all of the remaining sources of noise are highlighted: tire/road, wind, squeaks and rattles. IMO, Tesla should do more work on these remaining noise issues to further amaze potential customers. Can...

Wow, that is clear and convincing evidence that the screen visualization does not always work in identifying cars in the blind spot! To me, relying on the turn signal to activate the red line on the screen is not ideal either (assuming it works), as it requires glancing in the wrong direction...

Leasing shifts the risk of obsolescence to Tesla (away from the buyer). EV technology is still improving rapidly. We know that, at a minimum, autopilot hardware is going to improve in the short run. Over three years, the cumulative improvement can be large.

Mine seems to generate a corrupt file when the car goes to sleep. The first image shows the how the drive contents look on a Mac. The second image shows the files inside the TeslaCam folder. The last file in this list won't open. This occurred when I parked at work. My work around will...
