    Accident: Hit from the side - surprising wheel damage

    Himmm TX may be different but after being rear ended in VT and MA both companies proffered payments for inconvenience and passengers being shaken up - whatever they called it.

    Accident: Hit from the side - surprising wheel damage

    Sorry to hear about this mess and glad you are okay. Un and under-insured coverage (usually for injury) are cheap and most people don’t have any or enough coverage. Thank God the four souls in the car were not pushed into a head on. USAA: 1. Should pay for a rental - amazed you continued to...

    Uninitiated Jack Mode

    @Daniellane-interesting how a prior software bug came back again. Probably why my car has awoken High a couple of times.

    Disappointing Range in P3D. Is this normal?

    Many good suggestions here. I will add your tires are probably just broken in now, you are getting used to the car and your car to you. all will be fine in time. Since regen is not as efficient, try to minimize its use by timing your progress to the traffic or light cycles such that the meter...

    Two months in ...

    Sorry for your experience that is a shame. Mine has not been perfect but best thing I have done for myself as OP said. If they keep trying to fix a safety related problem get them to buyback through lemon process and get another one.

    Unexpectedly purchasing an M3 for delivery on Tuesday

    Glad to hear your husband is ok. The M3 is the safest car on the road God forbid something like that happens again. You will love the Tesla and BEV experience and happy for you. I like the HPWC for aesthetics also don’t want charge cord hanging out of the outlet every day but I wouldn’t install...

    Just left the Dedham MA SC - People were loosing their *$@t

    Dedham is great and the people better. It is always disappointing to run into a hater that just hates - they are generally miserable people spreading their negativity and has nothing to do with car brand or socioeconomic status IMHO Whatever happened to the Golden Rule? Simple

    How reliable is your Model S?

    My Kia was rock solid, my many VWs were hit or miss (traded a Friday car in short order). At 1 yr/11k MS75D with my first Tesla and the whole family loves it. The car has been 100% reliable and gets better every day. It is funny how I still stare at her gratuitously and look forward to driving...

    Help w sticker shock over adding amp to detatched garage

    Wow - I was told the wire is the expensive part and a voltage drop was likely over that distance. You certainly don’t need 100amp, car can’t handle more than 60amp line (48 to car). Do you have any power in garage now? I was shocked (;)) to find my 15amp/240 clipper creek does just fine for...

    Dash screen died on me while driving and on AP

    That is a scary experience for sure, especially for the OP with the drive computer shutdown in addition. I have been on .42.2 for six weeks with no such incident (McU1)

    Worse car buying experience ever!

    I had a tiger striped hood delivery problem one year ago but got over it quickly, yet remember when every little thing drove me crazy so I feel your collective pain. I have had plenty of horrible (and excellent) experiences at all other brands mentioned here in purchasing over 15 new cars (BMW...

    Heated door handles?

    40 and leaving the heat on for an hour to keep cabin warm? Cabin will heat 40-70 in five minutes with app. What was the heat set at? Sounds like simple transfer as OP mentioned. 40 is short sleeve golf weather around here this time of year ;)

    Tesla 3 battery dead beyond repair at delivery

    That is a drag. Damage happens during delivery with all cars and most buyers never know, so ignorance is bliss. Knowing this I would want another vin (higher not lower) if they can get it delivered by year end for the tax credit. Good luck.

    Model 3 didnt brake / stop!!

    That situation is my worst nightmare. Sorry to hear your wife experienced it. Either rotors were wet and trying to dry (shuttering) or she was pushing accelerator (brake cuts off motors/overpowers motors). Regen brakes don’t dry rotors and regen will let go if slowing with regen and hit wet...

    Elon is asking for what you'll like fixed

    That feature does exist bc of that story - speed limit mode is pin protected. I agree with your sentiment there should be a parental control master setting, eg. No EAP, Chill, speed limit mode, phone lockout, pin to drive, early collision warning, geo fence, multiple occupant notify (more kids...

    Winter Washing

    I had this problem too - each time I put it in park the passenger door would pop open. A Tesla Ranger adjusted the handle quickly and no problems since.

    December Issue Consumer Reports

    Don’t worry all will be fine. It is normal to have all these little bouts of positive and negative anxiety leading up to your wormhole entry to the future. Once you own your car you will wonder what all the complaining on this forum was about.

    Dashcam corruption fix?

    Mine is now better resolution and frame rate by dedicating a USB port to 64GB SanDisk ultrafit 3.1. It was formatted to FAT32 out of the box. Prior problems with a 2.0 32gb drive with many music files.

    Tesla DashCam on V9

    I know - why I asked - to see if intel or mcu2 made a difference. I upgraded to 64GB 3.1usb stick and it is sharper and more fluid so must have something to do with read/write speed and camera resolution stepping up/down. Color is still yellowish.

    Autopilot trying to kill me in V9

    This has only started happening in V9 for me too. I can’t imagine why it would jerk left toward oncoming traffic when the center line breaks for turning. AP is also clearly hugging the left lane line now. Nevertheless, auto steer is still beta, only designed for highway (technically despite...

    Tesla Solar inverters

    Maybe I am missing something here but you can cancel tesla solar without penalty up to the time the truck arrives to install. 315 are black, 325 white laced panels. The local rules are crazy I agree and just put 13kwh system up and awaiting PTO

    Software Update 2018.42.x

    +1 Agree - well said. Many articles incorrectly suggest the car is more aggressive in mad max mode - it is not and executes all lane changes with the same amount of caution.

    Should I get a new Tesla?

    Based on your list MR3 is my answer. HVAC better (my MS75D) has fan that auto never quiets down. MCU1 is fine in my car but intel/mcu2 better. Two small girls gave plenty of room in M3 and MR has about same range, better core tech and new warranty with 10k off (CA 2500), net 35k

    Nail in sidewall - repair/replace? SC or 3rd party?

    I had same issue within a week of new delivery- first nail in many years. Replace. SC will match best price found. SC claimed no markup and I could not find same tire in stock or delivered for less (SC had in stick). They also added a goodwill additional discount. I would not try to save twenty...

    Tesla DashCam on V9

    Parking Ticket !!! while supercharging.

    It is their system and their rules. Sounds like an expensive lesson. I empathize- try parking in Boston. So many signs it is hard to know which to follow to then learn all of the unwritten and unposted rules of street parking that often results in 40-100 fines.

    New Model 3 -- $9k off Design Studio price -- Your design -- no gimmicks

    I am a natural skeptic like many here but there are too many opinions on this tax credit that are simply ignorant. Go to irs site and research it before assuming OP is trying to steal 7500 - it is clear he is not. Bottom line he is trying to monetize a PW2 award already earned. OP - ensure the...

    Surround vehicle display limited v2.0 90D

    It took a wile for mine to calibrate and there was a status bar on the AP settings screen. It seemed to require different roads not just miles if you travel the same road. Otherwise it must be a camera connection or dirty lens

    Renting a Tesla in Boston or Mass

    Nate are you traveling to the Boston area? If so when as your post is not clear. My experience is hertz does have Teslas but are being used as a loaner fleet for SC purposes most of the time. The one I was provided was a 60D w/ AP. I have never heard of a non-supercharge capable tesla
