    Child Safety Issue with Falcon Wing Doors

    Since it appears the problem remains the same as it was when this thread was first created, it seems renewed attention on the safety issue is warranted.

    Child Safety Issue with Falcon Wing Doors

    Jesus the replies in this thread… “Why don’t you try just telling your 4 year old not to do that?” “Maybe you should whip them with a belt!” The people who think the first suggestion is a solution have never had children. The people who think the second suggestion is a solution should never...

    Is A/C Coolant Covered Under Used Tesla Warranty?

    Ok so basically they lied to me. Again. Thank you. Also, since making this post, here’s another example of their insanity. *One* of the other problems I reported on this service visit was that both of the front windows squeal when rolled down. I was charged a flat $220 diagnostic fee for...

    Is A/C Coolant Covered Under Used Tesla Warranty?

    Yes I’ve had to take this car to Santa Ana a couple of times as well, and for the most part, they’ve definitely been much better. Their manager even basically admitted to me that the Buena Park manager had lied to me when they referred me to Santa Ana because Buena Park supposedly couldn’t do...

    Is A/C Coolant Covered Under Used Tesla Warranty?

    Hello, I purchased a used 2017 X (29k miles at purchase) directly from the Tesla website 3 months ago. I have scoured every used tesla warranty page I can find, and I noticed that they mention they perform a “145-point” inspection prior to resale, but I cannot locate anything that says what...

    Does anyone actually use Smart Summon?

    And yeah, regarding auto park, that is equally useless. It’s slow as hell if Where the hell do you live that your insurance is only $600/yr? Mine is more than double that, and I have a pristine 20+ year driving record.

    Does anyone actually use Smart Summon?

    Same. I honestly want my FSD money back. I got it when it cost $5k, but it’s clear at this point that an actually useable version of FSD is at least a decade away.

    Does anyone actually use Smart Summon?

    I’ve seen Elon making comments implying they’ve “solved” low speed autonomous driving with Smart Summon, so now all they need to do is to complete high speed autonomous driving. Has Elon ever actually tried to use Smart Summon? It does not work well at all, to the point that it’s honestly just...

    Trying to learn why I get Phantom Braking (video)

    I said a car that literally drives itself, not “adaptive cruise control”, which is not at all that. Adaptive cruise control isn’t a steering mechanism. Last time I checked, the act of driving requires steering. and what are you smoking if you think it takes “hours and hours” to use the...

    Trying to learn why I get Phantom Braking (video)

    I know you’re really excited to have your new car and all, and you might think you’re bestowing some amazing new insight into the car’s behavior on everyone else here, but newsflash: you’re not. There are 200+ threads on just this forum alone, spanning years, that have already discussed phantom...

    Autopilot swerving

    Im not happy with the current state of the software either, but what do you expect the random SC rep to tell you? They’re not the lead programmer of the software, and even if they were, it’s clear that the problem is more complex than a simple bug fix, else a hot fix would surely have already...

    I hate Navigate on Autopilot

    Don’t understand why there are people in this thread acting like the OP must just need to update software, or that he must not be applying torque to the wheel for lane changes. I’m currently on 2019.40.50.7 (HW 2.5), and I can confirm literally every single thing OP said also happens to me...

    Since latest update, car is swerving on AP

    @DougP - the hard reset did not correct the issue for me. I only noticed improvement with the several latest updates that have come in over the course of the past 2 weeks.

    Since latest update, car is swerving on AP

    Update on this. It looks like this was a known problem with software ver 2019.40.1.1 to the point where TESLA eventually stopped rolling out that ver to the fleet. The latest update i just took (2019.40.50.1) seems to fix it.

    Since latest update, car is swerving on AP

    ive been using AP on SoCal freeways extensively for over a year and have never had a problem with it maintaining its center like this until these recent updates. I think the code they injected to make the car more aggressive in lane swapping needs to be corrected ASAP. this thing is literally...
