Actual model 3 length is 184.8"

I was spot on according to the estimator (with tax credit included) :) : Cost of roof - $58,500 Tax credit +$12,600 Upfront cost: $45,900 Value of energy (30 years) + $40,600 Net cost over 30 years $5,300

Elon dodged answering the question. He does not want to reveal the feature this early. I believe HUD or something similar will be available as a paid option. The same feature will be available in X and S before Model 3 arrives.

I have to reboot nearly every time I want to listen to a podcast... otherwise I get a Loading Error.

I had something like this happen on my car. I did not feel it in the steering wheel, but heard a click. Issue was happening when driving slowly in near full lock. Service center replaced some bolts with the updated shorter version, which solved the issue. It does not sound like your exact issue...

Pay-per-use was not an option at the time.The $2000 extra that people paid for unlimited charging also can't be directly compared to the pay-per-use charging, especially if it would not include the 400kWh yearly credit. I agree that some smaller fee to "activate" the hardware would make sense...

There is no technical limitation of supercharging 40kWh cars. The 60kWh battery would just stop charging at 40kWh.

If the owner has not yet enabled unlimited charging already (3 years later), they are very unlikely to pay $2500, or even $1900 to enable it. They do not need unlimited supercharging. However, they would benefit from occasional charging when in a pinch or on a very rare trip. If the 40 can't...

Original 60kWh buyers were given an option to purchase unlimited supercharging for $2,000, while 40kWh were not given the option at all. All of the cars that did not purchase supercharging actually have the necessary hardware. Now that pay-per-use is implemented, it would be a great gift for the...

I made a dongle myself, but it does not seem to work with TM-Spy. I am not sure if it is the app, my bluetooth adapter, or the cable. I am using ScanTool OBDLink LX.

I was entertained. Is this from The Onion? :D But really, why would someone care enough to do this?

I am waiting until Model3 arrives to sell the 2011 TDI Golf to VW. We reserved at store opening on March 31st. Hopefully Model3 is not delayed too much.

It would be really good if the Tesla roof maximized output during partial shade. This can be achieved using microinverters with conventional panels, but I don't see how that would work with the tiles.

By the way, the BlackVue cameras have a firmware design flaw that makes them run hotter with faster cards. This makes the faster cards fail even quicker than they are designed for. I would not use any cards with write speeds greater than 25MB/s. BlackVue 550 also run much hotter than 650.

I agree. Have been using this exact card and it works well.

Not when you have a 80-ft long driveway you have to back out on. The GPS location is messed up until the next time that the car sleeps or is rebooted.

8.0 still has not fixed the offset-GPS bug while reversing that plagues all older non-AP cars! It has now been broken for 8 months. Try it yourself... put the GPS on top panel and camera on the bottom panel. Zoom in the map on the car position as much as possible. Drive a bit in reverse and see...

Will the older 60kWh and 40kWh cars that were not purchased with supercharging now be able to charge using credits?

Will the older 60kWh and 40kWh cars that were not purchased with supercharging be able to charge for credits?

The savings vary greatly depending on the cost of electricity in your region and your consumption. Here is my wild guess for a 2500 sqft roof: Assumptions: 2000 sqft single story 3br house, Midwest, natural gas air and water heaters. Roof Assumption:10kW solar roof Cost of shingle roof (very...

bigger battery, dual motors for faster acceleration and better regen, glass roof, supercharging unless offered as pay-per-charge, autopilot (will probably wait to pay for full autonomy)

I am obsessed, but still punch it on on-ramps whenever possible. My 40k mile average is only 273Wh/mi! The key is staying close to the speed limit on the highway. I rarely get under 300 in the winter though.

@Jdeck I have a 40kWh model, so can't possibly charge to 90% since my limit is 68%.

This GPS reverse issue is still not fixed! It has been there since February 7.1 (2.12.22) firmware update

It turns out that the Gyro was disabled on my car to "fix" the issue instead of actually fixing anything; however, the service center has reproduced reverse GPS issue on their loaners so the ticket will definitely get some attention from development.

Can anyone recommend a nice frame for the 8x10 print? Preferably in Tesla Red with actual glass window.

I was actually seriously considering the Leaf. The lack of active cooling was one of the main reasons I bought the Tesla instead.

This is a big disappointment for me. I have had Range Mode enabled since delivery 3 years ago. I had no idea it affected battery temperature management at the high end. I am now at almost 40,000 miles and the degradation appears to be around 6%. I really wish Tesla documented their features...

Mostly perception of quality. I look at my phone app with aerial image overlay and see the car parked sideways in a parking spot... How would you feel showing that to someone while demoing the app?

The orientation and position should rely on not only GPS coordinates, but also wheel/ motor speed sensors and steering wheel orientation to provide accurate output. GPS history is not needed at all.

My gps position is definitely fixed, but not the right way. I drove backwards on the driveway and it shows the correct position. The orientation of the arrow is still not right after reversing. It shows sideways or backwards after reversing. It corrects itself after going forward though. I...

2.17.37 finally fixed GPS inaccuracy bug while reversing! I really wish they would test the releases on the classic cars more.

2011 VW Golf TDI

My guess is that it will be just under 60kWh. It will have more reserves at both ends as general public will be less tolerant of degradation and running out of juice at 0mi. 215mi * 250Wh/mi / 90% usable = 59.7 kWh

Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed in newest firmware? I am still stuck on an older version. STL Service Center opened a ticket with engineering but have not heard back.

Yes they are pre-autopilot.. and even pre parking sensors :)

Not sure if anything like this was posted before, but I made some comparison gifs. Note that the rear seat headrests and rear chrome applique were changed pre-redesign.

Mine has the 10000 offset

It looks like the door unlatched with just a press, no pull of handle

So the door opens automatically or just unlatches with the press of the handle?

That will probably be $8,000 or less... definitely not $18,000

Confirmed that this is indeed what is causing the location to be off. I didn't catch it before since I never look at nav screen while backing up because the rear camera always blocks it for me. I backed up a good amount before going home and parking and the car showed that I was in a different...

Thanks Kalud, sounds like this may be the problem. I have noticed GPS location even moving sideways at one point, but thought that was just a temporary bug. I back out of the garage and back in to a charging spot at work every day... so I'll pay attention and will report back.

My GPS has been about 100 feet off after the 2.12.126 (or maybe 2.12.22, it was only a week prior) I contacted ServiceHelpNA, and they said that they forwarded the issue to the service center, but I have not heard anything. Restarting the console fixes it temporarily, but goes back to being off...

Awesome! This means that it will be Noon Central Time (if they actually meant PDT of course) P.S. just got my lottery invite too!

At what VIN did they stop putting in the crossmember on non-RFS cars?

336.5V was not an accurate number as it was still trickle charging because of HVAC. The total voltage was 326 when not charging.
