It is only 4 months away. I don't think Tesla is coming out with a new model for robotaxi such as a new model 2. I think Elon is just planning to put in a more advanced version of FSD in slightly modified Model 3 or Model Y and send these out into the streets to compete with Waymo.

I ordered a 16 kW solar panel system with 3 Powerwalls from Tesla. But the project has been on hold because PG&E would not approve it unless we relocate the electrical main panel to another location, which will cost more than $10K (Several others in our neighborhood were told to do the same...

I recently had to have my 12V battery replaced. My Model 3 did give me a warning that the battery needed to be replaced, but I did not know that I have only few days to replace it before the car shuts down. Tesla Mobile Service came and replaced it under warranty. He told me that as soon as I...

I received the same warning about my 12V battery last month. I continued to drive the car. And about 3 days later, my Model 3 bricked in my garage. I could not get into my car to get my stuff out and I was too lazy to try to jump it. I scheduled for a next available mobile service appointment...

My wife accidentally smeared some hand sanitizer on our Model 3 back leather seat. Now the area smeared by the hand sanitizer is darker black. I tried to rub it off using a microfiber towel with water. I got some off but I can still see the darker color from certain angles. Any advice on a...

Thank you everyone for all your inputs. Now I feel very paranoid with the main electrical panel right next to the gas main. I most likely will go forward and relocate the main electrical panel. I am not sure if we can disconnect the gas. Our furnace, water heater, oven, range and dryer all use...

I ordered a 16.32 kW solar panels with 3 PowerWalls from Tesla last November. I just received an email from my project adviser that PG&E is requiring that I relocate and upgrade the main Panel. The cost will be between $10,000 to $20,000 and will take about 12 months longer. This is the email...

Thank you for sharing your experience. Is your DCC-10 paired with a NEMA 14-50 outlet or with a Tesla Connector?

I am currently trying to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet or possibly a Tesla Wall Connector. However, my sub panel is pretty full and cannot accommodate a NEMA 14-50 outlet. The electrician is recommending installing a DCC-10 EV Energy Management System between the sub panel and the NEMA 14-50...

We have one Model 3 now, but my wife may be getting another Tesla, probably a Model Y. We are finally going to have an electrician come and install a NEMA 14-50 outlet (right now, I am still using the 110v outlet to charge). Our electrical panel can probably accommodate at most one NEMA 14-50...

Electrek just reported that Tesla is going to offer bird's eye view with FSD: Tesla to offer bird’s eye view through Autopilot camera in FSD package - Electrek I read in previous posts that this was not possible because the cameras on Tesla do not cover all the angles to produce bird's eye...

I received an email to make appointment to upgrade to FSD HW 3.0. Can this be done by Tesla mobile service? Or is it better to get it done at a Tesla service center?

I understand that the driver is always responsible and in this case the driver is at fault. But I still cannot understand why Tesla programmed the collision avoidance assist to apply the brake only enough to slow down and minimize the impact instead of bringing the car to a complete stop when...

Are we sure that the upgrade is going to improve the 0-60 mph acceleration down to 3.9 sec? is this a verified number? Isn't the performance 0-60 mph acceleration rated at 3.5 sec? or is it 3.2 sec now? If this is the case, 3.9 sec is still not as good as the Performance number and might not...
