    Will Tesla ever give the RWD a performance boost ?

    Probably not. It would take a lot of grip to accelerate harder with just RWD. More power would likely just trigger the traction control more often. AWD is your friend.

    Touchscreen tint

    Okay... I'll try something more obvious next year for April Fools day

    Touchscreen tint

    After I had my side and rear windows tinted, I decided it was time to get the touchscreen done, too. It used to be way too bright in most situations, but now it's not distracting at all anymore. The "expert" recommended not to use more than 30, but eventually I went with 5. Look at the...

    Rear view camera is blurry

    FWIW, I just replaced the rear facing camera on my 2020 M3 LR AWD. The image was quite blurry, but now it's fully restored. The cost was $125 CAD plus tax, and it took me about 20 minutes to replace the part. I also tried to polish the lens (pretty sure it's plastic), but to no avail. This is...

    Auto wipers no longer mandatory when using AP?

    I have them pretty much every day. I made it a habit to turn auto wipers off as soon as I engage TACC. I just wish they'd leave the setting alone when I engage AP. If the wipers were really necessary, then why is AP even available while I'm driving with my wipers turned off? That doesn't make...

    Can you Walk-in and buy a Tesla Model Y on the spot? Inventory shows Immediately Available

    I bought a Model 3 for my gf in Dec 2023. That was in Ottawa, ON. We looked up the car we were interested in, and the only holdups on site were that I obviously didn't have a bank draft available (that can be arranged quicky unless you are dealing with an online bank) and that they were unable...

    Alberta imposing $200 EV tax starting in 2025

    Not enough to matter. According to Fourth power law - Wikipedia. , the road stress ratio of truck to car is 10,000 to 1.

    Model 3 Window tints acceptable?

    I got my windows tinted early in 2023. There's about a 3/64" gap at the edges. It's barely noticeable with the doors open, and not noticeable at all while driving

    Feature Request - Eco-Mode Air Conditioning

    This thread is about a feature request and therefore refers to future models (all current models already haave heat pumps), unless you are expecting Tesla to retrofit older models.

    Tesla blesses other cars blocking two stalls due to short cord

    It doesn't seem to be an issue at any of the CCS stations I've seen so far. Using longer cables to keep the number of blocked stalls to a minimum is a cost-effective solution.

    Tesla blesses other cars blocking two stalls due to short cord

    Should be fun with a Ford parked sideways and two Teslas boxing him in. I think opening the SuC network is an incredibly dumb move until they replace the charging cords with longer versions so that every car can use the charger they're supposed to use in a specific spot.

    Summon and FSD require more camera calibration

    Not in my experience. I agree with you when it comes to basic AP camera calibration, but FSD camera calibration (which this thread is about) takes much longer.

    Summon and FSD require more camera calibration

    This thread is about FSD, not regular AP. I got another M3 RWD in December '23 that came with a 3 months FSD trial. It took more than a week before FSD was finally available. Took me less than a week to turn it off for good, but that's another story. AP, however, only took a few miles before it...

    The Vehicle that Convinced Me to Go Electric

    Don't get me started with that crap company. I never thought I'd go back to gas, but now I enjoy my BMW K1600GT. Zero is dead to me.

    Feature Request - Eco-Mode Air Conditioning

    You won't get any support because you are not making sense. Since you have already made it clear that you are resistant to education, I am not going to waste my time rephrasing what others have tried to explain to you. 'nuff said
