None. No regrets at all. Very happy with it.

Actually, Q1 2019 deliveries were impressive (see Tesla Deliveries Up 110% In Q1 2019 vs. Q1 2018 | CleanTechnica). Don't believe the FUD.

Have you tried rebooting? When I've had problems with voice recognition, a quick reboot fixes it, but I haven't seen any issues on 8.3.

I mainly use the key fob for easy access to the frunk/trunk. Avoids having to whip out the phone. I can't say that's worth the $150 but it is convenient. Now that we have a "Pin to Drive" option, maybe we'll get passive entry added as an option?

It could be a "height" issue. I, too, had failures with my phone in my back pocket. Keeping my phone in my jacket pocket (above waist) it's worked every time. Same with just holding my phone. So, it does seem finicky.

Agree. Upgrading to Oreo "fixed" the connection problems I had with my ZTE Axon 7. It was on 7.1.1 and it worked about 90% of the time. It soft-bricked a couple weeks ago (no idea why), which required a factory reset. ZTE released an Oreo update but it was not available OTA; requiring a separate...

I did a 1000 mile trip, each way, a few weeks ago, and it was one of the better drives I've done. I've driven the route a few dozen times over the years in an ICE, but the drive with EV and autopilot was much more pleasant. I normally do the drive each way over a couple days. With my model 3 and...

Mobile service replaced the drivers side light on Mon and did it in less than 30 min. I didn't watch the whole time so not sure if he did any adjustments afterward, but I don't think so. He did force a firmware update to take care of the turn signal fast blink. All-in-all, I was very pleased...

I delete the FSCK*.rec files when I get the X. Plug the USB back in and it works. No need to reformat.

I've gotten the error a few times. I noticed a few FSCK*.REC files on the USB after it happens. Those are generated when the dashcam has a write error. Delete the files and it'll work again. I keep 2 USB drives on hand. One plugged in with a spare. I swap when the error occurs. Then plug the...

I'm surprised Tesla did not include a setup option for a USB drive in the update. One that would format the drive and create the TeslaCam folder without requiring another system.

I used Windows 10 diskpart utility. It's a cmdline tool that comes with windows. It's a bit technical but you can see how it works here. Install Windows 10 from a USB Flash Drive Also, it has to be formatted as FAT32. You can use this free utility to help: Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd

I use 2 partitions on a single USB key, and it works well. Granted, I just got the update this morning and I've only done some light testing, but it does work. I did have to reformat the partition for the dashcam since I had tested the USB key before getting the update. No problem with the music...

I did this. I prepared a 64Gb USB with 2 partitions - one for TeslaCam (16Gb) and the other for music (~44Gb). I tested it before getting the v9 update and the music worked fine. The other partition mounted as well. After getting the v9 (39.7) update this morning, I tested the dashcam. It did...

I actually like and use the mirror tilts all the time. They're great for making sure I stay between the lines and not getting too close to a curb when reverse parking in spaces.
