Thank you SMART.. BOY. "Saying it in all caps doesn’t change anything" ... Forgot about everything and felt the need to comment on the all caps. I love my Tesla more than my BMWs and Mbenz.. but the pool of Telsa owners (some* of them) on forums compared to Benz and BMW owners seem to be not as...

EV DOES NOT NEED MORE RANGE.... a good EV need FASTER CHARGING SPEED. 400 MILES IS MORE THAN ENOUGH, if charging speed gets better and better. R&D MUST FOCUSED ON FASTER CHARGING, than just adding more batteries or enhanced energy density.

500 miles Model S means than can make a 400 miles Model S cheaper. They would still sell a 400 miles Model S in my view at a cheaper price or current price rather than offering a more expensive 500 miles range one. Tesla does not like multiple variants of the same car, and 400 miles is more...

If you've been disappointed with Tesla lately, take a look around: VW: • Invested $700M into Xpeng to jointly develop EVs in an attempt to counteract losing market share in China (you only team up with competition when you cannot do it yourself) • VW was once the biggest automaker in China (its...

Yeah let us know what will be your "next" piece of junk that will be even worse than the current one : ) ... U can label all of them as junk, but still, there are levels.... U will NOT find a better one for the same price (aka 75K or 89K) for the same reason you could not even name one now...

Long answer and still didn't manage to even reference more than one vehicle, that's even hands down a lesser vehicle from all angles except for interior packages/options. I have been owning Mbenz vehicles for two decades, and owned over 9 Mercedes vehicles, I rented the EQE as well as the EQS...

Why are you here then : ) ... Go get an i5 or Kia EV if those are better options. My Model S has ZERO rattles and cracks, has matching panel gaps all around, does not have any single design issue, the leather feels better than that in my 175K S-class. You were probably stuck with a bad...

not really, because the increase is only for the X plaid. BUT - IN CANADA BOTH XP and SP GOT A PRICE INCREASE...... In the US, the X LR, SLR and SP are still priced the same. Having said that, whether it's now or later in Jan, I still feel both the S/X LR and the SP will also get a price...

They are so good in honoring that "locking the lower price for you based on your order date", and they are also good in switching to the new "lower" price if the prices reduce. That's what I heard.. no first hand experience with that though. I would call your adviser there and make sure to...

Tesla increased the price of the Model X in the US and both the S and X in Canada; specifically, the MX Plaid in the US by $5,000. The Tesla Model X Plaid now starts at $94,990 from $89,990. In Canada, both the S and X plaids got a price increase too. Looks like we are up to a few more...

I like the front camera screen you have. Can you share what you are using and link? also how did u manage to keep it fixed there and do u have to automatically turn on and off the camera each time?

It’s simple and does not need all that Tesla manual description: Tesla system is dump!!!. In my non-Tesla cars (Mbenz and BMW), they simply adjust to the posted speed ALWAYS when I enable that option, whether it’s up or down plus a certain offset within 5 MPH…. If I manually change the speed...

I kinda disagree... It may not add that much, but it adds a bit. If I am buying a used one, and I see two identical cars one with full PPF from a top brand that looks neat, shinny with flawless paint, and another one with normal swirlk marks or chips for it's age, I would be glad to pay at...

Just tested Llumar Valor for the very first warranty claim. Easy, smooth and no issues at all. One of the edges around the taillights had a seam that looked wrinkled on the edge allowing dust to build there. Took me 10 seconds showing it to the store and issue was resolved with a new piece...

Huge respect for XPEL having presence on forums in general and looking after their customers. Even though I just got my car wrapped using another PPF brand, I really have huge respect for XPEL. This example above alone is one reason.

Yeah, I noticed the same. Sometimes** it may work on a single lane road but not always, but on highways or 2 lane roads it never works now. Certainly there is a bug... it is a shame that in my view AP is not as good as I thought it would be compared to Germans cars that I even owned in 2015...

I certainly heard some noise but it is that wind that blows for 1 second your know? Then the majority of the ride is quite.. it is quite that actually even surprised me because most Tesla people warned me about the transition from BMW and Benz to Tesla, but that Model S did really well wind...

At least am not crazy. I have been watching mine too and it is just soooo random, but most of the time simply it does NOT increase or decrease the speed. It only decrease it in a single instance which is to be no more than 5 MPH above speed, but it does not increase for sure (except on rare...

Thanks for the info. 2023 Model S here, Q3 build, no road noise at all on highway at 75-80 MPH. In fact, it is even more quite than our BMW X5.

There is no ceramic coating product that holds well on PPF. To me, I think ceramic on PPF is useless as the best approach is to do a ceramic spray application after every car wash and you should have a nice hydrophoic surface all year long without spendong too much, while also having a layer...

What is the best leather conditioner for Tesla synthetic leather? I have excellent experience with leather on german vehicles (basically real semi-aniline and other high end leather). Tesla is a vegan leather; what is the best conditioner to use? NOTE: NOT interested in ceramic options please.

To me, it’s simple…. I don’t track my cars, and the reason I got full PPF is to enjoy a scratch-free car with self-healing properties. The dark blue paint shows scratches like nothing else, and it’s really worth it for me to always look at the car and see a perfect gloss free of scratch. If I...

I use AP to adjust speed initially

So I just did more driving tests today... I can confirm that the auto adjust to higher speed only happens on certain routes only, and mostly 99% of the times only when it is a single lane type of a road. If it's multiple lanes in-town, it does not adjust up. In-town and a single lane each...

If you have a garage, I don't think that miniating the car would be a big deal even during winter. I would at least wipe the edges every 3 days via an ONR rinse-less solution and red sponge. Works like magic. Plus, if you have too many edges, then you installer knows nothing. Llumar cutting...

With Llumar Valor (SunTek Reaction), which has ceramic properties, my 2023 Blue Model S looks much much much more glossy and clean than naked paint. Even orange peel and reflection is better. They key is to get the right film. All these videos with non sense edges that are dirtly are non...

I think I might have figured it out too.. I went through a number of routes last night. I noticed, that if and when it increases speed, it ONLY happens on a single lane roads, and mostly if the car had already reduced it's speed not so long time ago too. On most other streets, it does NOT...

Yes, I'd really appreciate it if u can do that. I'll also PM u now. Also are you on FSD or regular AP and what car are you driving and model year? I just came back from a test drive and it never adjusts UP to a higher speed limit sign.

With the +5 MPH or a cruise control value matching offset, the car would only REDUCE it's speed when passing another speed sign. It does that only because AP only works if the car is cruising at a no more than 5MPH above the posted speed. HOWEVER, it will NOT adjust the speed UP. It will only...

No, I did it at a certified Llumar shop. There is no way on earth I could have done it myself…. I watched them on the cameras….. 3 people spent a whole day on it. It takes a lot of work… I am pretty well with my hands, but this is not an easy DIY. U can try, but its really hard. U can take...

Not really…. Llumar has a really good software. The PPF is pre-cut and have an opening around the spoiler. Llumar has one of the best calibrated cutting dimensions for the car, leaving a lot of edges and also a lot of installer guidance for where each piece needs to go (they leave for them so...

You said u have to set the speed correctly, but then you said, cruising 35 MPH in a 30 MPH…. Can you explain how do you get your AP to really adjust to HIGHER speed limits? Also does it work for you the same way on highways?

So does that mean if there is an offset, then it will not auto-adjust to higher speed limits? But if I set the offset to be 0, then it will auto-adjust?

I would certainly do PPF. One thing missing in this conversation about PPF, is that, it is NOT only about protection. I myself did just so that I can enjoy an (almost) scratch and swirl mark free car!. I love how it looks, the increased gloss, etc. Get a good PPF, like the new Lumar Valor...

Yes, exactly that...... on city streets, all it does it to just auto adjust so that it stays within the 5MPH delta.... but that means it would only slow down when you are cruising on AP ABOVE that threshold but it would never ever go up again later. Also, on highways, it does not do any of...

Interesting.. it does NOT seem to be changing it's speed for me. Not sure what am I missing in the setting or whatever....} I am almost certain that the AP (specifically on highways, forget about city) does NOT reduce or increase it's speed as I move from 65 mph zone to 75 mph for example. AP...

I understand what he said, but again, I am not asking about anything that has to do with (manual adjustment). And I have already set my speed limit to 3 MPH above posted speed limit and the AP automatically starts from that value, unless i am already driving above that 3MPH limit that it takes...

I don’t think you read my post carefully. I am not referring to the fact that AP adjusts to the posted speed limit when AP is engaged, I am referring to the adaptive nature (while AP is already engaged, if the road speed changes, the AP will NOT do automatic adjustment to the new posted sign...

Zero issues with mine, picked it up a few weeks ago, very recent build. Even panel gaps, they are perfectly aligned, in fact exceeded my expectations (all panels are equally spaced). As far as interior rattles, no issues at all..... even compared to my BMW or Mbenz. I can even hear the sound...

Just a bit disappointed with Tesla Auto-Pilot (not FSD). I have been driving German cars for more than a decade, and since 2016, every single one of 7 Mbenz or BMW cas I owned did Auto-Speed adjust to match the new posted speed as I pass a new speed limit sign while driving on cruise control...

Where did u get the info about a “new design”?? And what do u mean exactly?

Update: a reset of the outside fiber-cable box by unplugging and plugging in the charger fixed the issue completely! 🤷‍♂️

Yes i started to have same issue only when my phone is connected to my home wifi! Have no idea! It works fine on any other wifi but my home wifi!

I already did and that fixed a 6 months mysterious TV issues but but not yet the Tesla

So I just tried to connect from a different WIFI source. It worked perfectly fine. Something with my own home WIFI is blocking the Tesla connection….. Any idea anyone?

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

Nope… it did not, it even made it worse as now any phone with LTE can not even see the car. See my previous comment. “ “Let’s just forget about the car connectivity method because by now I know 100% that when car is on LTE and phone is on LTE too, things are working 100%. My car is on LTE...

No, that has nothing to do with it. I even asked Tesla service. Keeping the car on LTE is the best way to isolate the problem from my phone and home wifi issues. If you car is at work, and you are at HOME WIFI, you should still be able to see the car!. Anyway I tried to connect the car to my...

Not sure if I wasn't clear, but like I said, just forget about the car. The car is on LTE all the time so it has nothing to do with my Wifi. There is LTE connection to the car all the time and it's perfect. The only problem is when using the phone on Wifi (phone connected to wifi), then the...

No, it is the phone connectivity method. If my phone is connected to home wifi, I lose connectivity to the car. As soon as I switch phone to LTE, it syncs fine. It happens on both my phones.
