    Experience with Tesla Maps

    I went on my first long trip in my 2022 Model 3 Tesla. We drove from NJ up to Toronto and then Ottawa, Canada. Most of the time the trip mapped out by the Tesla map worked well, but on the drive home from Ottawa to NJ, it picked a route that went through a bunch of back roads where there wasn't...

    Issues with maps navigation

    I've had a few issues using the Tesla map for navigation. I searched for McDonald's and the map showed a list in order of closest to furthest. The closest one was claimed to be 4.5 miles, but when I selected it the actual distance was 15 miles! How could there be such a large difference in...

    Tesla window and child lock question

    On the touchscreen you can lock the back windows and doors (child lock). But what about in an emergency if somehow the touchscreen is damaged and we can't disengage the child lock. Is there a manual override of some kind?

    How Best to Use Autopilot

    I've had my Tesla Model 3 for about 2 months now. I've had mixed success with autopilot. It seems to work best when I'm driving on a highway where there is light traffic.

I will get in the car and step on the brake, but it won't switch from Easy Entry to my driver profile. When I try to use the touch screen it will be frozen. I will have...

    Tesla Charging in NYC

    I’m struggling to find good places to charge my Tesla in NYC. Most of them are in parking garages which will charge you a parking fee. I found this one that will only charge you $5 to park and charge for 1.5 hours: Atlantic Center 625 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217: Atlantic Center | PlugShare...

    NYC Parking Garage and Damage to Vehicle

    Over the weekend, I drove to NYC and parked the car in a garage. It was valet parking, so the attendant had to actually park the vehicle. When I got home, I noticed that my front bumper was scraped and some paint was chipped off. Unfortunately I didn’t notice this until I got home, so I can’t...

    Autopilot Questions

    I’ve only had my Tesla for 5 days now, so autopilot is a new thing for me. I drove from NJ into NYC and hit a lot of traffic on the highway. Autopilot made the stop and go traffic a lot easier to take. My old car had cruise control, which is useless in stop and go traffic. I’ve tried autopilot...
