Tesla is correct in their position. During the manufacture of the Model 3 a change was made to close off the mesh opening in the shelf between the rear seat and the trunk. The fact that one is not closed off is not a defect but rather a different design. If you choose to update the vehicle to...

Did you precondition the battery? Battery temp has a big effect on the charge rate.

It looks to me like he got a Model 3 with FSD. At least that's what the page he posted shows. Looks just like mine and I have FSD.

I believe it was the VCfront 552- condition detected with the controller. It cost around $800 to fix. I was still able to drive the car to the SC. Hope that helps.

Hope yours' is different. I just had my vcfront module replaced on my 18 Model 3 because it turned out to be bad. My 12 volt was only a couple of months old. Good luck.

Six years of driving Teslas has shown this to be true.

What part of Louisiana? I would think that Brandon, Ms would be closer. Tesla should take care of all that for you.

I'll have to check on that. Thanks.

Might want them to recheck that. The current info and my own quote is that the kit itself , which includes the adapter, is $450.00 and labor and tax will be added to that. So about $540.

Please don't feed the troll or he'll never go away.

Did you miss the memo that Tesla is no longer providing loaner cars? Anything you get is unexpected.

I am amused that folks are upset with a car that Tesla doesn't have to provide them. There is that saying about looking a gift horse in the mouth. Perhaps they would be happier with no loaner.

looks good , but do the driving dynamics still suck the soul right out of you?

Looks just like my powder coated and machined original Tesla 19 in alloys, but mine were designed and tested for the Model S.

Unless you bought FSD. That's not done.

Does anyone know if the government settlement agreement with Volkswagen requires them to install a DCFC system that can actually charge electric vehicles in the long term or just install chargers until the required fine is met?

I have a 17 Model S and you can most assuredly run the ac while supercharging.

Not true. BEVs will prevail for one reason, they are superior to ICE vehicles and consumers will make the choice. This can already be seen in the marketplace. The government had nothing to do with the shift from horse and buggy to ICE.

The rear fender is steel and any competent body shop can fix it for you.

Sounds like the experiences I've had with other GPS navigation units ( Garmin ETC )

Try telling your spouse that.

I have a 2017 S 100D that I summon in and out of my garage all the time and it works without incident. Sorry I can't help you.

Then why is Tesla outselling them in the rest of the world?

No one asks if there were enough gas pumps to support the adoption of 100% ICE cars in 1900. Yet we made the change in @ 10 years. The implied assumption is that there will be no change in the grid. Build it and they will come.

You are exactly right. While I understand that Tesla has every right to choose which cars they allow to use their superchargers, I don't understand how they think they have the right to prevent drivers from doing business with another company (ie EA or the like) to obtain DCFC.

Mine stuck at 50% so I rebooted my wifi router and it finished the download right away. Isn't technology great?

That's what Tesla is counting on. They're playing out the clock so that they don't have much hardware to upgrade because of the FSD.

Something that is not mentioned is that to swap batteries you need more than one battery for every ev out there. For an industry that is battery constrained that doesn't work either from the parts or the economic standpoint.

This is good GM logic. Your vehicle goes the same or less distance than the competition so rather than make your vehicle more efficient you install a second charging port so your customer can pay twice as much and charge in the same time to go the same distance as the competition.

Well yea, they can.

I have a Gen 1 HPWC that I'm not using. PM me and we'll see what we can set up.

Given your point of veiw please explain what is going on in Scandinavia and Europe.

A European court has ordered just that.

This is the same way my Hyundai auto high beams work.

It's pretty obvious that the OP doesn't own and hasn't owned a Hyundai in the last five years.

What year and particular model are you trying to charge? I have had my 2017 100D causing a random over current situation resulting in the connector going into an error state and quit charging. It has done it on 4 different wall connectors on two different circuits one circuit hardwired and the...

I wouldn't get too excited about this wiper as Elon has said it isn't the production wiper. Remember that Tesla patented an electromagnetic wiper that goes from side to side.

Louisiana comes immediately to mind.

In some states having your fog lights on when it's not foggy is a ticket-able offense.

Folks need to state which MCU they have . It would be interesting to see if those not getting FSD Beta have MCU 1. I know we were told the MCU doesn't matter, but we were also told the cameras didn't matter. That changed.

You'll notice that the article is talking about recirculation mode. That is not what is being addressed here.

How do voice commands work if you have no cell connectivity ?

Because the cars aren't wired for them.

A step in the right direction. Now they need to more than double that commitment. By 2030 new ice vehicles will be outlawed in many markets.

I guess I'm the exception then. The 4 Tesla's I've owned and the two that my son has have been good quality, reliable cars. I've been driving for 54 years and they have been the most reliable cars I have owned. This includes BMWs Mercedes, Audi, VW, and American brands. A big difference between...

I think Consumers reports anti-Tesla bias is showing. Tesla is so terrible that they have sold every vehicle they can make at least thru the spring. They are so terrible that they have the highest owner satisfacion rating of any car. Tesla must have a lot of people fooled.

It will be interesting to watch Teslas' hipocracy on this It is not their car once they sell it. I would be interested to know the theory under which they are preventing a cars' owner from doing business (fast charging) with another company such as Electrify America. Their decision to disable...

How is Tesla insuring that non-Tesla cars are not salvaged and are "safe" to fast charge on the supercharger network now that they have opened up the network to non-Tesla cars?

You can't just reposition the wheel it's keyed on the shaft. Schedule a service appointmet with your service center. They have to do a complete allignment and if you tell them that the steering wheel is off and by how much they will fix it at that time. A bunch of the threes were shipped this way.

Elon has stated that The MCU has nothing to do with FSD. I'm beginning to have doubts but I guess we'll see. If it is needed they will have to supply an upgraded MCU at no additional charge.
