    Buying a used FSD car from Tesla, first hand experience

    Several months later update....the car is awesome, love it. I had lots of work to get it up to speeed. The mobile ranger’s been to my house 4 times to sort out various small issues it had. Its first owner wasn’t kind to it. One wheel was cracked, so I had that prof repaired and amazingly Tesla...

    If fsd isn’t a firm requirement id strongly recommend buying new instead.

    Buying a used FSD car from Tesla, first hand experience

    Yeah! lots more I won’t go into. Bottom line I think it’s worth it—in order to get fsd. Buying a used car from Tesla wasnt a good experience overall in my opinion. It’s going to take several weeks and multiple thousands to get the car right enough.

    Totally correct. The instant it appeared on my phone app I scheduled it. Hw3 goes in Monday at my SC.

    Buying a used FSD car from Tesla, first hand experience

    What is full self driving capability? Does this used car have it? If so, why would it still have hw2.5? Why won’t they install hw3 for me? Hope this helps someone in the market as it’s confusing for sure....I bought a 2018 MR a couple months ago from Tesla, and had it shipped to my nearest...

    Driving Down I-5 - Seeking temporary solution for protection again rock chips

    Just get a roll of 2" masking tape, the blue stuff. I've used this method for several long distance drives in the days before clear bra was a thing. $5 or so. 10 minutes to apply it. Comes right off so long as you don't leave it there for months. Doesn't look awesome but it'll protect the...

    "Hold" mode regeneration in new SW

    Same! Love it. I’m ready to saw off the brake pedal entirely and abandon it. Push the accel to go, have the car stop if not. Don’t need the brake for 99.9% of driving. It’s really just for emergencies. It drives like a video game car now. Love it. Thanks Tesla!

    Anyone else think the new Hold mode is TOO smooth?

    I totally love it--hold mode rules. It remedies my lone complaint of the car. For me, it was 99% of the way there. if you dislike the decel, just keep your foot on the accel just a touch and it'll decel a bit more slowly

    Newb Q--why must I use the brake pedal at all?

    'member this??? back from the dead....Hold mode is 100% exactly what I asked for. Thanks Tesla! I just took a test drive with the new software. No need to use the brake pedal at all anymore for me. I realize others won't/ don't like this and think it's possibly even unsafe as I somehow may...

    What sound do electric cars make?

    No. Only sound it makes is the tires right at the limit of losing traction

    Order agreement legality

    I actually had paid for my whole car and had the price subsequently raised. I then paid the difference. In better news, the car is totally worth it.

    Downgrade SR+ and get $2000 back?

    I've personally talked with both service and sales this weekend. neither know yet what it will cost. I even scheduled an appt to upgrade, as Tesla's email to me asked me to. They cancelled it and said there is no such process yet.

    SR downgrade finally coming!

    After receiving the email, I scheduled a service appt, as the email from Tesla asked me to. They just called and cancelled my appt. The service center said they do not yet know how to undo the SR regression, and they also don't know what to charge me even if they did know how. They did say...
