    Front Bumper Camera

    Given the (baseless) rumor around Model X getting a front bumper camera (a pretty significant update in my book as it gets us many steps closer to a true 360 view with practically no area left in the dark all around the car), would you wait to buy a Model X for this rumor to play out or not...

    2020 Model X LR+ w/FSD 40k miles for $48k - yes or no?

    We are looking for a big SUV for the tall household that we are. I recently came across a Model X (I had never driven one before). It is owned by a private party. It is a 2020 model and found it to be very spacious, sort of exactly what we are looking for. I would have ideally liked it to be a 6...

    2nd EV...Model X or Y? Year '20 or '21?

    BACKGROUND: Fine people of this community, can you please help me make a decision? I owned a Model 3 for five years but sold it in the quest of getting a bigger (higher) vehicle as it was starting to give me back issues (6'4") and an addition to the family quickly made the Model 3 in need for...

    Braking for obstacles when in reverse gear?

    I heard that in the latest firmware, Model 3/Y now automatically apply brakes when an obstacle is detected when reversing? Is this true? Will this somewhat alleviate the absence of RCTA?

    Any help is greatly appreciated with this noise that’s driving me insane!

    Service Center apparently fails to reproduce it but it’s very apparent if they try an ounce harder to actually take a test drive. Two visits and they have refused to fix this issue. I have opened the door panel, put sound absorbing material wherever I thought there may be a wire hitting the...

    Growing increasingly wary - front left visibility

    I’m in my second year of owning this car (SR+). I’ve mostly come to terms with the disappointing rear visibility because of the upward angled shape of the car. I’ve made it as good as it can get by adding a 240mm flat Broadway mirror, and I live with it. The side mirror visibility is nothing to...

    Charging more than the set percentage - v10 big?

    For the last two to three days (almost immediately after the 32.12.2 upgrade), I have been noticing that the car is disregarding the charging percentage I’ve set and charging a few percents more. I’m setting the limit from my iPhone app. Thankfully it’s not under charging but anyone else...

    Post-accident experience

    As we start seeing more and more Tesla on the road, unfortunately and inevitably more and more will get involved in accidents. I am trying to create a one-stop-thread where the unlucky but experienced owners can at least share their story in the format I am suggesting below. It’ll help the...

    Air conditioning unit stays on after exiting vehicle

    Most likely a bug in 16.2. Anyone else noticing it? I made sure that the option to keep the climate on is set to OFF. I’ve noticed on several occasions, the AC does not turn off even if you exit the vehicle and lock it. This is especially true if I’d set it on via the app before entering the...

    Here’s what Immersive Sound does in SR+

    I was really curious to find out why the music sounds the way it does when I toggle the Immersive Sound so I did a couple of quick tests. Several people think that nothing really changes when Immersive Sound is on or off but that’s simply not true. Hopefully this will help settle that...

    EXPERIENCE: 2400 miles trip Model 3 SR Plus

    In the first week of April, I bought a Model 3 in white, rear wheel drive with 18 inch wheels, Partial Premium interior, standard range plus (240 miles EPA rated range), and Autopilot. I want to share some experiences as I am living them in our first ever one way trip to Reno, NV from...

    Registration question

    sorry for posting something generic - Picked up the model 3 on Saturday April 6 in Pittsburgh. I am aware that the title takes a few days to arrive in the mail. However, we are leaving Pennsylvania for good and moving to the west coast starting April 27 (driving the Tesla there). I do have a...
