Couldn't agree more. I also have a Volvo whose adaptive cruise control works fine except for stationary cars. In those situations my wife just can't trust the volvo and always brakes on her own. While I don't brake with the Tesla I have my foot hovering over it in case it does not brake. I...

I think thats a good description of how it is to be used and how it is useful.

There are no magical solutions obviously. I am always looking to see if Autosteer and TACC are working fine, almost like I am observing them to see how they work. That's just me though. Only once did I make the error thinking autosteer was on when it wasn't. 7 months and 14000 miles in. Maybe...

Yep. Clickbait headline.

I'm watching this thread. Bought the black vue dash cam before the Tesla and now it's been 6 months, still not installed. Wasn't sure where to go.

I don't even know where to begin. Soon enough is not now is it? For now AP is a driver assistance feature. And we all know the way autopilot is now, there is a chance of things going wrong at any time. You are talking about a hypothetical scenario where FSD is here. If and when FSD is here...

The only other difference between S and 3 would be free supercharging. Although wouldn't matter to you if you were using X as the long distance car. I have a 75D right now, and it works fine for trips. We will get the Model 3 after the other ICE car's lease is up. The question would be should...

Shorter post here. The more you drive, the bigger the cost savings from Tesla. And if you have AP that commute will be awesome. Only thing I will say is that commute in temps of 40 or so and less may need a rated range of 280 or so depending on the speed. In San Jose and with charging at work...

Gives me an unknown error. I guess down again?

Thank you very much for this post. Very useful to me as this could very well have happened to me. I use it as an assistance and not Level 3 but I still feel in relatively slow traffic like this I would not have been super attentive. Good learning example for me. I would have thought AP1 or AP2...

Thank god I am not such a stickler for paint and stuff. Can't imagine putting in 10hrs on that. Good for you though. Must be very satisfying.

I had thought of leasing but went with financing. In hindsight I'm glad I went with financing. 6 months in already at 12k miles. Leasing would never have worked for me.

You probably know this but just in case you didn't, the forum has a sub-forum for private sales: Tesla for Sale

Exactly what I do. Forget about traffic and all Right most lane, set it to whatever speed. Forget about it. The only thing I'll say is that it's the adaptive cruise control part of it which is the game changer. That's obviously not necessarily unique to Tesla. Had it in my Volvo S60, 2.5 hr...

Update: I left it in the open long term parking. Lost 11 miles in 4 days.

Thank you. Very very useful for me. Leaving it in BWI for 5 days. Clearly not much of an issue.

Charged there last night. White car was still there. The supercharger was showing up on the map too. Interestingly I was getting higher charge rates after a few minutes.

Slightly confused. Is this in Lewes or Reheboth?

Just so exciting..... Sounds a little unrealistic but even if those numbers don't pan out, still super exciting. Better start saving....

Yes indeed.

AP 2 since Sep here on .42. 4000 miles so far. Just coming off a 1000 mile round trip. 99 % autopilot. I'm more than happy with where autopilot 2 is. Based on what I read AP 1 is better visually and had rain sensing wipers. My recommendation is to enjoy AP 2.0

If there is a hard cut off like that, even more reason to get the 100D. For example I just did a 1100 mile round trip in my 75 D. Supercharged about 6 times. If I had the 100D my charging times would be lower and number of sessions would be lower. I could have gotten away with 2 supercharging...

Yeah that is true. I was comparing to summer but clearly getting very busy anyway.

Looks like it's coming along nicely. How long before we can expect it to be open? Just wondering. Obviously nobody is rushing to reheboth in this weather.

Yeah, same with mine. Too many loading errors and cant play songs and buffering. Just when we are going on a long trip tomorrow. Awesome.

Didn't think of it but now that you say it, I am hopeful it will help. I find autopilot/TACC aggressive with its acceleration every time whether it be from 15 to 60 or 55 to 60. Hopefully this way is less aggressive, smoother and more efficient. I appreciate the acceleration when I join freeways...

Happened to me just now. Resolved with the above steps. Thanks for that. Question is what's the significance of it? Did it happen to you guys again after it resolved? Do I need to take it to servicing? Problem is I have a big family trip to Ohio coming up next Thursday. Can't take chances but...

I guess this slightly off topic cuz I am talking about perpendicular parking but the other day it did such a poor job I was afraid it was going to bump the car. It probably would have stopped but I am not going to take a chance. Today it did a much much better job. But both times I had to keep a...

Any blackvue/dashcam installers near Philadelphia or Annapolis?

I didn't mean to suggest AP 2.5 had anything to do with it. I am pretty sure I saw it display a motorcycle once. I remember it cuz I remember trying to show my wife, who couldn't care less. At least that's how I remember it.

AP 2.5 here. I have seen motorcycle image once. It was actually pretty cool.

My 2 cents. I have AP 2.0. I have a 1 hr round trip commute to work on freeway. For a month now, absolutely no issues with it. What I say is it works well 95-99% of the time, which is why you still have to pay close attention but totally works fine for me. I agree with @RogerHScott above...

Same here. I am a fairly avid reader of this forum but somehow missed the discussion when I ordered it 2 mnths ago. Went with 75D when I had a 90D available for 4000 more. Would have gone for that had I known this was the case. Nothing I can do now.

I have asked twice for a model S without any issue. I have to correct myself. First time Brooklyn store, no issue. Second time, called King of Prussia store (very busy, big store I think) said can't do it. Then I called Devon store where they arranged it within a week. Maybe you have to...

I have wondered how it decides not to do a lane change. Let me explain. The freeway where I cannot do auto lane change is more of a local freeway with 55 mph limit. The one where I can is a more of a freeway without lights etc with speed limit of 65. There are stretches of that where the...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll leave it as is and get it repaired after I come back. Do you guys think it will be a repair job or replace the door deal?

1 month old Model S. First incident/accident. On a ramp onto a freeway, I was going at about 30 mph. Saw a deer cross and next second 2nd deer hit the car from the right side. Not a big accident. (Saw deer run away in the side mirror) But the damage is there. Rear passenger side door dents. I...

As an FYI, Tesla sells 14-30 adapters. I bought one. Took 10 days to arrive. That's my daily charger. Chargers at 17-18 mi/hr.

What exactly do you mean by that? I'm going on a 10-12 hr trip myself in a couple of weeks. I had planned on using evtripplanner or abetterplanner.

Thanks for that. The FM transmitter I'm using works fine to play music from my phone. Problem is with calls. I can hear the other person fine but the other party keeps hearing echoes. I know the thing to do is to switch phones. Another option is something like the jabra Bluetooth speaker for...

That's the behavior I've seen. Works well on the major highway I take but not so in the smaller highway. I was under the impression it works on any highway but I guess not.

I have been using it in my tight fit garage for 2 weeks now. Couple of times it almost hit the hand rail of the stairs in the garage. It may have stopped but I stopped it on the fob anyway cuz I didn't want to take the chance. Backing into the garage I can do it myself, but I feel with summon...

I think they are just stretched thin with the expansions of Model 3 and now the semi.

Similar issue for me and a friend. I took delivery of Model S on Sep 25th, signed paperwork. About to drive off the store, turns out AC didn't work. They gave me a loaner and fixed it in 2 days and dropped it off. 1 week later again didn't work. Again gave me a loaner, they picked it up, fixed...

Going to sign up shortly. Just saw this whole group thing. Otherwise would have met you guys tomorrow.

Weird thing, auto present is on but they are not really auto presenting. Anything else needs to be turned on or something?

Great thread. I had disabled the autopresenting handles for fear of failure later on. This thread has given 2 possible solutions: 1. Just touch the handle, no need to take the fob out. 2. The exit and park profiles are clever too.

So the transmitter I ordered works fine. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FQHZCT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 First time I used, got a lot of static. Changed the Fm channel and now its fairly clear. Definitely works for me. Still has a little bit of static when...

Just remembered another thing. Sound system keeps going mute. By which I mean music is playing on radio but no volume. Will come back when the car restarts or if I reboot the MCU

Did you have passive entry disabled? Cuz I think that's why it keeps happening.
