    X-Care battery & drive unit warranty

    I rolled the dice since I've got the debut Model 3 (2018), in part thanks to a $400 discount for current Xcare customers.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    Superbottle has now been replaced as of last Wednesday. So far so good. With a desert heat wave and temps reaching 114 in the interim, this is a good test and is why I was particularly alarmed to see these errors in the hottest season.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    Between the two visits, one for the actuator and the other for the superbottle, I'm just a hair under at a little over a 1000. The only saving grace is I have an extended warranty, but there is still a deductible of $100 per visit, so that's a little less reassuring.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    I have spoken too soon. Coolant valve bad mode is now getting triggered in the alerts post repair. Is there an overarching mechanism that may need to be replaced? I think I read earlier in this thread that it's called the superbottle?

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    An update on my end, the service center replaced the five-way actuator and so far so good.

    Oh boy, getting the accompanying Vcfront_a159_coolantvalvefault on top of the one mentioned in the subject.

    Scary, I have an RWD and the same error. My appointment isn't until July 5th, and the service center is 2 hours away. My extended warranty may be coming in handy here soon.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I would say it depends how egregious the driving behavior is. I've never experienced it until this latest update (11.3.4) repeatedly violently merge into turning lanes on the right-hand side without warning. Two steps forward and three steps back is a hard pill to swallow.

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    This sounded attractive at one time, but not with a headaches of dealing with it on a daily basis. I'm not sure I can justify $200 a month either. With a single activation fee, I at least wouldn't have a monthly reminder of how far it falls short.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    When the car is trying to run off the road, yes, I'm anticipatory of an update that fixes it.

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    I thought I was going to get FSD for the cyber truck, but I'm increasingly not interested.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I wonder if 11.3.6 is any better. I guess I'm not on the priority list.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I agree the highway driving is an improvement over the previous software build. The city driving is so treacherous that I'm probably going to stop using it.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    11.3.4 is dangerous from where I'm sitting. It keeps making sudden turns into turning lanes when I'm clearly going straight through.

    Creaking noise from suspension - resolved!

    I had a control arm replaced after it was apparently botched by a tire change operation in 2021. My driveway is on an incline, so when I get to the bottom and begin to turn into the street, I notice a small amount of creaking from that same area. I don't notice it any other time so I'm going...
