Good thread. Video does show it might have been a bit closer than a cop or ordinary drive liked to be cut off. This time it was a coincidence that change of lane happened when the car behind wanted to accelerate and that car was a cop. Good luck in court, unless you hire a pretty good lawyer, i...

I agree, I keep my cars past warranty but before they become scrap. Usually after 1-2 major repairs, is when i start looking for a replacement. Tesla is still a young company, so hard to tell when the death will near. I am myself is also nearing 2 years of ownership, been delight for most of...

It seems could be worth making appt for morning and hopefully car is ready by evening. It is harder to get appointment and HW3 part.

Haha, Telsa said no parts available, appointment cancelled, try in a month. The wait game is strong with Tesla

I got email in my Tesla app inbox that i can make appointment for HW3 service upgrade, made an appointment for HW3 upgrade in couple of weeks. Looks like i will have to drive to Tesla service Center, not sure if mobile service will roll to my hood since i am 2-3 miles away. Excited to test this.

very nice parking job, i like this feature.

This seems reasonable, 15,000 miles you will need around 4,000 kWh. So if you know how much you need for your house, if you add those up, then you will know total you would want to offset your house and car if roof size, budget, permits, main panel permits this. In your case, its around 3,000kWh...

That is indeed a good experience. Funny enough i had the same problem. When going on freeway at higher speeds, I would hear this whine noise. Made appointment, brought in the car. Tech went on a test drive with me, noise was kind of there but not too apparent. Left car there and got Uber...

This makes sense as its the easiest explanation here. Salesman made a mistake EAP VS AP thinking EAP was still part of the package at that time frame. @rdskill - I feel your issue. If you believe you paid for something and you did not get it from Tesla, contest it. Otherwise it feels like you...

some buy touch up paint so it won’t be noticeable. I think amazon has it, it’s under ford brand

Either choice will be a correct one.

If there is better coverage from a different carrier, does Tesla allow swapping SIM cards? I had home alarm with poor cellular coverage, so they sent me a new SIM with a different carrier and it helped. One can try to contact a carrier and ask them to installer equipment for better coverage as...

yes that. I drive that section almost on weekly basis and it’s one of the few local freeway sections where I won’t use AutoPilot. Lanes are not clearly marked, old markings are still there and no should. Basically, if construction I drive. Tesla is a bit too risky for that so far.

Don’t know, somewhere early 2019. @Knightshade might know or there is a thread on motors here somewhere

so you paid for model 3 long range AWD and it looks like you got performance one aka stealth aka P3d- ? That’s awesome. Quit contacting Tesla and enjoy your nice jam. Some might wonder what rear motor your got. Likely 980 as your got it September, 18 when there was the same motor in AWD and...

@AAG1 might be cheaper to replace two front seats instead of selling it. If you look at market forum, used model 3 go for around 20% off or so. Majority of those sales are lower end model 3 because owners got an itch and wanted model 3 performance. There is a lumber support that some missed out...

If Tesla figures out with 100% certainty what caused it then you should be fine. If they say, we think it is this, then you got a problem on your hands as a problem can return. This is not like paint damage and whole car has to be repainted or getting a whole new battery which requires whole...

How often do you copy and paste this similar response? my ideology with Tesla is buy hardware and don’t pay much for software upgrades as possibly likely Tesla will give those out for free or a discount. Tesla plays around with prices fairly often. Changes price of a car then changes price of...

good point, I forgot that detail. Then to achieve similar range maybe motors are weaker compared to model 3 or Tesla did its technical magic and able to squeeze efficiency even more so.

A lot is unknown about model Y. It will me made and delivered this year. If Tesla follows pattern like model 3. First Long Range RWD, then AWD models and maybe followed by standard range down the line. place your money now and you can change your order right up until you get VIN on your...

my uneducated guess is that Model Y is likely a bit longer, so longer wheelbase therefore it can fit more cells to create a slightly bigger battery. Now Model 3 long ranger is aliens 75kWh of usable battery so maybe new model Y is closer to 81-83 (10% more) my guess Spring is when we will see...

Some owners get Steath Model 3 performance. It comes with 18 or 19 wheels, no bigger brakes (without performance upgrade package) and everything else is the same (track mode is often there, not sure). They like it more because they did not wanted 20 inch rims which tend to get bend and also...

good info. To me it means using camp mode while actually camping without external power source is risky at running out of battery power.

what is asked does not mean that they will get that price. There is another thread here taking about high prices for used model 3s. Why? Not enough supply

Thanks for the photo. It looks like, as i read somewhere, that Tesla changed the trunk opening. Now it seems there is quiet sharp edge at the trunk lip. In the article below is what i am talking about. I like Red color trunk, less change getting your head gushed There Are Two Types Of Tesla...

Interesting, i got 19 with Continental tires. Perhaps I need to lower my tire pressure. I have it set at 45, i read some members here have it at low 40 or even like 39 PSI.

Seems some people find their cars quiet while others are not. Maybe newer models are better or some people have better hearing. In my AWD model 3 it’s ok during normal driving I hear and feel the road especially at higher speeds. If I smash on the panel, noise from front is fairly noticeable...

Sweet! OP - looks promising unless Tesla just wanted to finish USA orders from last year and now have to wait until overseas orders are completed

There is this photo and article. It does appear Model Y is close to Model X when comes to height. I hope Model Y will be closer to Toyota RAV4 and Honda CRV rather than their smaller CUV counter parts like HRV and CHR. One segment sells very well, the other not so much in USA Tesla Model Y...

Thanks for the twitter link! I like those photos. Too bad twitter dude Zach took heat for taking them but it was in public space so yeah...

If one sets to charge car to certain percent, let’s say 80% then if an owner starts driving down hill right away that means no more regen will go into battery as limit is set? Just curious as it relates to SR/SR+ where Tesla sets software limit at 220, but will regen our extra in?

I use for the same thing, charging equipment, tire pump, tire repair kit, tire pressure gauge and a hoodie. I like it, this way I keep trunk for more often used space clear.

Could make sense that GF3 was already built with Model Y in mind and would be easy to start producing there compared to Fremont location. But this month? And they just starting to make model 3 there. There has to be a reason to madness

Getting SSD or thumb drivers should be the very first item you install in your car as there is a real benefit from it. I, living and driven in Los Angeles, am surprised at this. More often I get younger adults trying to show off their cars and race me in their loud as cars. I don’t have time for...

Have you tried to reboot the car? Pressing two scroll wheels on steering wheel? Can’t say I have had this problem.

I agree once Model Y comes out later this year, will help to lower Model 3 prices. Also leases only started last year, so will take 1 or 2 more years. also at 40K budget, why not go for SR+ to get a brand you Model with smaller range? as we see Tesla holds best used prices for any EV.

Nice. I often do the same with autopilot pace other cars and be calm. But sometimes a little gremlin wakes me up and I find myself going 80-85 with ease and smile. Otherwise, Tesla does make me or help me be a better/safer driver.

why would 980 vs 990 motor reference is important here when getting acceleration boost? Should both return the same result as Tesla promised? Sure likely 980 is binned, but still. Just curious and congrats

Never happened to me. Car works and operates as I expected with desired options selected. Hopefully this won’t turn into a Toyota fiasco with sudden acceleration.

Likely you read this article about EA Electrify America Talks Charging Network Problems, Has Solutions It will take years until some sort of universal payment system will be in use other than credit cards. I. As a Tesla owner is happy with SC for now but would be great to be able to charge at...

It will take a while. Tesla might sell off Supercharging network to a third party to manage and operate which might become kind of like Mobil or shell gas stations. At around that time there will need to be add CCS plug for other cars and a screen to pay with credit card or some kind of app...

some time in 2019 Tesla stopped including certain items with a car such as car hooks, mats and 14-50 charger adapter. if you are to buy used Tesla from Tesla, they often remove FSD. So if we it had before and you buy it, you will likely have to buy FSD again if car had HW 2.5 to upgrade to...

This is where I believe Tesla went wrong by having vary ambiguous naming structure. Could potentially be difficult for new buyers to tell a difference as many see Model 3 as just one trim. Here is hierarchy of Model 3 (Likely i am wrong, as doing it from memory), feel free to correct it SR...

Great idea, maybe we can stretch her 2008 rav4 until end of the year, otherwise find something short term. We were this close at buying RX a week ago, just could not find a deal and right combo (of course I also had to spend my time on this) Now that more sightings are coming around and possible...

Great read indeed. I like my model 3 on long drives because I can use autopilot which makes a drive very relaxing mentally and some physically. Also when my passengers say look there, I can actually look and see what they are talking about without accidentally swerving and such.

that would be good timing for Tesla to start producing Model Y. How many GF is Tesla’s goal? They don’t want to over built but rather have continuous strong demand.

correct, as I mentioned battery size difference between SR and LR models.

If bank reverses the charge, do you think Tesla will remove FSD? It should right, otherwise some people might take advantage of this. @Stel - this is understandably disappointing to hear about Tesla. Hopefully situation gets resolved to your liking

Looked really busy. From one perspective it’s great to see demand. From glass half empty seems like a crappy way to buy a car. Usually you have salesman chasing you on the stealerships haha. Thanks for the photos
