I"m going to put my vote in that every feature that requires a driver be present, should be done under EAP. Auto Pilot is known as a driver assist feature that requires the driver to be attentive at all times. FSD should be reserved only for what it says - Full Self Driving. It says exactly...

Melania, you're on track with your thinking, but now double it and add 2 and you should be spot on!!

Wait, OP says Signature P85, does that mean this feature will be available of AP1 cars? I don't think so, but would be really cool if it was. Just can't imagine that it would be, considering the car doesn't have more than just the front camera.

Finally had a chance to look up the wheels. 34 lbs is for the 10" wide wheel. 31 lbs for the 8" wheels. 2 lbs more than the Tesla 20" wheel. But, Tesla's turbine wheel which these were modeled after are 38 pounds for the 10" wide inch wheel. So relative to a similar wheel, they right on par. The...

Heck, screw the blacked out version, I'm going with this one!!!! :p

Looks to me, if they could just zoom out on the camera, would be a better view. Looks like it's zoomed in. Can't see the hood in the video and the bottom of the screen appears well out in front of the car. Zooming out would also increase the width view. No clue if this is even possible for Tesla...

Question, is there any way to view the footage on the screen in the car?

Well, have come to the realization that it will be MY car and I'm the ONLY one that has to like it. Naturally, we all have our own personal tastes. As I originally noted, for my own personal taste, have never been a fan of Tesla's new front design language. The Model X was the first. It was...

Very observant. I had exactly the same concern and when I called to inquire about the nose and installation, brought it up. Was told that the one in the photos was wrapped with black vinyl, not painted. And no, I am not a vendor for either company. Getting a personal Model 3 and deciding what...

Eye of the beholder. That's the great thing about living in America. We have the right to choose. Ahh, freedom!! Although I will note, 2-5 years ago, very few manufacturers offered black wheels. Now, pretty much all of them do. Model S & X, if you upgrade, all you can upgrade to are dark wheels...

I see A LOT more of this in the front end than I do the Mitsubishi. Again, just personal preference.

Taking up precious space? You make it sound like they're the size of the car itself!! LOL :-) Personally, I'd keep them just in case you ever sell the car and the new owner wants them. I personally almost always do modifications to any car I buy (wheels, grilles, lowering for cars where it's...

That nose reminds you of this?????? LOL. Whatchu smokin?? LOL :-) And I understand the blacked out look is not for everyone. Probably not for most. But, just a personal preference. I like it. My post was more about the lowering springs and the 20" wheels that look factory. I think T-sportline...

I'm sure too extreme for many, but wow, T-Sportline did an awesome job on this car. Love the 20" wheels with the lowering springs. One of my complaints with the Model 3 has been how high they sit from the factory. This thing sits like it should from the factory. Wheels and springs will be going...

OK, this clicking / clunking is driving me nuts and it's only been ONE DAY! I know it has nothing to do with the phone because the car is not in my Tesla Account yet, so I can only use the key card at this time. Definitely sounds like a solenoid opening and closing. Goes in spurts. Seems to...

Another failed update in a Model 3 here. Appears there are some serious issues with this particular update. Seems like a lot of people are having the same issue. Pretty much a downer. Get all excited that the update finally arrived only to be told "wait for the next update to be sent to your...

By the way, I have a new one on order. My dad also has one on order. Just happened to be at the Tesla store and saw these. Have to admit, was a little scary to look at.

Would it bother you to know that an hour before delivery of your "brand new" $100,000+ Model S that it looked like this? Note how low the cars are sitting as well? Front plate on one. Mirror on another. These are two different cars.....

This is a "tesla" site, so I would expect this thread to go a certain direction. But will remind people that Auto-Pilot is far from perfect. The many noted auto-pilot accidents are evidence that no Level 2 autonomy is remotely perfect. Tesla's system is almost certainly more advanced, but...

i've heard of the P85+ and the P85D, but never a P85D+??? They didn't make a "+" once the Dual motors came out. Based on the badge in the photo, it appears to just be a P85D, not a P85+ as many are assuming. Nice car, but a little pricey. Tesla has several 2014 P85D's with less than 30,000...

Pretty much every Tesla instantly loses $10,000 when you buy it, due to the typical tax credits that anyone would get by buying new. Then you have an instant 10% depreciation for driving it off the lot. Tesla, in the first year, basically deducts $1.00 per mile. If you were to trade it in, Tesla...

Wow, what a difference! Never cared for Tesla's new front end styling. I know they wanted to get rid of the "grille" look since it's not an ICE car, but all they did was take out the grille and leave the space for a grille with a big bug magnet instead. The lower grille is the design language...

My lease is due to end soon as well. I leased primarily because Tesla changes their cars so often and figured it was a good way to protect against declining values. About a year into the lease, Tesla called trying to get me to upgrade to a P100D. They sent me a trade-in offer for my car at...

Hoping to find a used left door and fender for a 2015 Model S in Midnight Silver Metallic (Dark Gray). Looking for a complete door less interior panel. If necessary, can be without the glass, mirror and door handle, but would prefer a complete door less the interior panel if possible. Same thing...

Not sure it will ever be cost effective on a mass market car. A few would pay it, but to double the battery cost would be a hard sell. Yes, it would be nice to have limitless range, but it's really not necessary. Superchargers already take care of that. In a few years, there will be high speed...

Wow, this post came back to life. My post was from two years ago! Mercury doesn't want to insure the Tesla. They did for me because of my history with them, but you have to be perfect for them to insure it. I pulled the Tesla from them and found a cheap company that insured it for 6 months at a...

This I can absolutely agree with. The charging rate in the Tesla SUCKS!!! If I'm sitting still at a Supercharger and watching video on my iPad, plugged in to the car, the battery drains faster than the charge its receiving. Beyond that, I think you're lucky if you gain 10% of charge in an hour.

Question, can you open the doors still with the key fob or from the center screen if you don't have the premium upgrade package? Does not having the PUP just remove the auto open feature, but the other two features are still there? Am getting ready to order one. The auto open doors would get...

Looks like the Must Have Now factor has already worn off. per E-bay, the first few sold in the mid $70,000 up to the low $80,000 range. The last few have sold just barely over cost at $65,000 or less. Seems like there were a very limited number of people that had to have it on the first day and...

Apparently did a full video review of it as well.....Certainly an informal type of "road test".

Seems like a pretty fair article to me.

I'm pretty sure you can find an adapter cable on Amazon or elsewhere that will connect to the male end coming out of the tesla and then into your phone. Not much different than just plugging into the USB port, but allows you to have the option and take advantage of the plugs already in the car.

If you read this article about an existing owner who's driving his car and the problems he's having with it, then yes, it's certainly possible that problems with the car are turning them away. Or as I already stated, they've simply discovered that the Model 3 is too bare bones for them after...

I'm just curious, how does what someone does with the car they own result in you having to wait longer for your car? Are you saying Tesla would build cars faster if the guy that took delivery 3 weeks ago chose to keep his car instead of choosing to sell it? What am I missing? Also, how does it...

Seems strange that they would fire someone over this considering they just reduced the price of all Performance versions by around $20,000, more when you consider that the P versions now include other options (spoiler, premium package, etc). So a $30,000 discount on inventory cars only makes...

Crap, guess that means I now have to wait another year for my car!! I can live without the dual motors & performance version, but I LOVE the air suspension in my Model S and know that it's coming, it would bug me to purchase the car early and give that up. So much for being one of the first to...

Based on all the videos online of people taking a $175,000 Premium Tesla to the race track all the time, I'd say there are a million more that would gladly take a car half that price to the race track!!! But at 5.1 0-60, it won't have that appeal to the younger crowd. At least until the...

Wrong about what? Yes, that's fine if Tesla charges more for it later. That's the incentive of paying for it up front. My point however is: What if you paid for it up front, then sell your car and it was never delivered? You should then be entitled to a refund since the product you paid for was...

I don't have a problem with Tesla selling FSD before it's ready. As other's have said, just like taking a deposit for a Model 3. BUT, they ABSOLUTELY should offer refunds, at a minimum, to those that sell their car before it ever got activated. Customers are being VERY good to Tesla and Tesla...

Amazing how many call the OP a whiner for stating a fact. Blows me away at how many Tesla owners see Tesla as a company that can do no wrong, even when they are WRONG. I don't call the OP's messages, or any others like it "whining", I call it holding a company accountable for not doing what...

Car looks disproportionately high (a lot of space between the tires and fenders). More amplified being that this is a smaller, narrower car with an already tall cockpit area. Assuming air suspension is not yet available and this is a coil spring car. I hope they'll reconsider the current height...

For all of you shocked and disappointed by the lack of an announcement on the day Elon promised it, then you clearly don't know Tesla and Elon very well. I have yet to see he or Tesla meet a date they promised on anything. Unless there's a posted announcement on the Tesla website for something...

I agree, the new Prius is absolutely hideous. Good lord what were they thinking with the taillights on that thing. I guess I wont complain about the Kardashian lips on all Tesla's. Thankful Musk didn't get stupid with the design as Toyota so desperately did.

LOL. That's why we live in America. We're all allowed to have an opinion and our own tastes. I had hoped the new tesla design language would grow on me. Don't like it on the S or X and now the 3 and unfortunately, it hasn't grown on me yet. Tesla front ends look like Kardashian lips to me. I...

Crystal clear photos of the interior. Can't say I'm a fan. Still buying it, but between that dashboard looking like a Prius and the front end only a mother could love, I think they missed the boat. The rest of the car is absolutely beautiful. No gauge panel. Not a fan of that at all. Like being...

Tesla's been doing a really good job.....at upsetting their existing customers. OP's post is just another example. I sold my last Tesla and it had the extended warranty (ESA). Car is still under factory warranty. Have it in writing that it's fully refundable prior to kicking in (4 yrs/50K...

@chillaban, I think you mis-read part of the vehicle code text when you bolded "property APPLIED". Vehicle code actually says "properly "DISPLAYED". There is a difference. Where's the definition as to what "properly displayed" is? Still think you'd have a case in court. Still hoping to hear from...

My guess would be that the stickers on the Volt were the green stickers, so maybe they're harder to counterfeit? Who knows why criminals do what they do?

@skilly, you are absolutely incorrect. @chilliban, good job proving my point. I know for certain simply because I've been one that likes to keep my car looking new in some cases and therefore waited much longer to put the plates on the car. One time, I think I went about a year. Never got...

I think you're partially correct with your comparison to not having license plates on the car. However, I do know with certainty, that not putting your plates on a car that is legally registered is simply a "fix it" ticket. They cite you, put the plates on, have it signed off and the ticket is...
