    Strange HVAC issue since windshield replacement

    Yes. Tesla repushed the same update I am on (in my case 24.3) and after the update my vents are back to normal. It seems like just doing any update fixes it. The tech was able to do so remotely before my appointment so now I don't have to go to the service center. He said he conversed with other...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    Just a data point for anyone wondering. My Y is now over 9 months old. I don't use car washes, just hand wash with chemical brothers foam and chemical brothers citris wash, same as I did my 3. Just checked and there's no discoloration on my trim. Those touchless washes are really terrible...

    Yes, happened to me yesterday.

    2019.20.4.2

    It's a good question. The short answer is likely no, for whatever use case a game might need (could just be saving high scores, or progress, tiny amount of data not written often). The issue would be with recording video to flash, those are large files that touch a lot of memory. Could also be...

    2019.20.4.2

    Hey guys, for any interested, I found the 'critical bug' that this update fixes. Stumbled upon it quite by accident. A few days ago I pulled my TeslaCam drive out to get some footage off. I completely forgot I removed it, then received the 20.4.1. update. Then I went on a road trip. Before I...

    Can Someone Explain To Me Why The LR RWD Is Going Away?

    1 That's rated range which is largely made up. Actual testing shows it's more significant than the rated range increase. I've had no issue in rough roads with mud and snow in my LR RWD. This ain't ICE traction control.

    PPF And Ceramic Coating Look Amazing

    I have CQuartz finest, it is great, really shines and keeps car looking cleaner. Have PPF on front bumper and headlights, it's saved a lot of damage when hitting an unavoidable loose bumper on the highway. For washing, I use a foam cannon and pressure washer, combined with 2 bucket wash if car...

    FSD With Purchase Or Wait

    Had my Model 3 a year. Bought EAP, added FSD after purchase but since I have EAP won't see a benefit until initial FSD features. I have used Navigate on Autopilot extensively. It is already worth the money IMO if you do any long distance highway driving. I've used it a lot more than the average...

    Blog Tesla Shareholders Ask for Better Public Relations

    As someone with experience in the matter I can guarantee you it buys you positive spins in media articles and even guides the media in terms of which articles they pursue. This is far from a utopia, companies and individuals are motivated by money, whether you want to call it a bribe or not, its...

    Blog Tesla Shareholders Ask for Better Public Relations

    You've mostly got it but didn't touch on the media bias due to the advertising. The reality is it influences the stories that the news runs, above and beyond just the ads put out by competitors. So not only do they get the ads they get FUD articles by biased media thankful for the ad dollars...

    And just as I was posting my reply, someone who actually understands.

    Blog Tesla Shareholders Ask for Better Public Relations

    So far Tesla and nobody posting here seems to get it. I understand that demand already exceeds supply. However, the media is biased as hell against Tesla. What nobody seems to grasp is the media is typically friendly to it's advertisers. If you don't spend advertising dollars, don't expect...

    AC odor removal and cleaning

    Thanks so much for this fix, I've also experienced this smell and figured it was A/C condenser but wasn't sure on the location. Bought the cleaner and will try it out!
