My A/C is finally working properly after my 4th trip back to the service center over the past 4 months. The issue was remotely diagnosed correctly before my first visit, but Tesla was disorganized, screwed up on getting parts, and did sloppy work that left me without a car for a week and then...

My USB drive on my 2021 Tesla Model 3 just failed and Tesla tried to charge me $47 to replace it. They tried to tell me it wasn't covered by warranty and that the engraving on the new USB thumbs drive they installed clearly absolves them of warranty coverage. Bullshit because I didn't agree to...

Went to use my Model 3's air conditioning for the first time in April just to find out it didn't work at all. No big deal, *sugar* happens. Scheduled a service appointment. Soonest appointment was 2 weeks out. A few days before the appointment they did a remote diagnosis and confirmed the...

My AC in my Model 3 died a couple months ago. Tesla claims it is a bad sensor causing the evaporator to always report -3 degrees. I've been waiting on a replacement part to arrive, but in the meantime 80-90 degree days + solar loads have been rough.

I have noticed the same issue with nav on a couple locations. Had to use my phone for directions.

V11 still sucks. Music interface is garbage, especially changing sources. Accessing common things now takes a ton of touches and removing your eyes from the road longer. Zero redeeming qualities overall. I still want a way to roll it back.

Glad to see Tesla taking this seriously. The falling sheets of ice can be deadly.

Statistically it only helps people over the age 65.

Yup, turn off obstacle aware acceleration.

There has been an issue with the bolts loosening on the trunk which causes this. Tesla should repair it under warranty.

When my 3rd party body shop fixed my car I got an email from Tesla confirming the parts order and giving shipping updates. I doubt Tesla stopped this. Did the shop tie the parts to your VIN when they placed your order?

I still hate every single part of it. It makes me angry every time I drive my car now. That's all, just had to vent.

Unfortunately AEB triggers falsely on occasion. I have experienced it several times over the years. Light colored cars that the old 2018 camera has trouble seeing (blends with the sky), tight radius multi-lane turn lanes, and even stopped traffic on steep hills where the car ignores gravity...

Averages typically follow a bell curve. Plenty of people fall out of that middle 25-50% and don't need additional driver aids.

You can't design a car to make 100% of people happy. Changing tire pressure allows users a degree of customization. There is nothing wrong with that.

Removing tint is a pain in the ass. Definitely have the shop do it.

"This is a firmware issue currently under investigation by Tesla as it was recently discovered due to the recent extreme cold climates. " It wasn't caused by recent cold. It was caused by an engineering oversight combined withTesla failing to adequately test their cars in cold real-world...

I agree 100%. Tesla engineers really do only design for CA and it shows. Camera systems need to be either hermetically sealed and purged of moisture with inert gas and dessicant packs, or they need to be in a heated vented enclosure.

Tell them you would like to invoke the arbitration clause that both parties agreed to when you purchased the car.

Looks like the tip of a heavy brush trimmer attachment that goes on string trimmers. I have several of these and as they wear the grey plastic cracks off and the metal eventually fatigues and goes flying...

My car gets parked outside. I always have the snowflake icon in winter. I can drive 2 hours and still not have a warm battery. This is with both a 2018 and 2021 Model 3.

They work for game controllers so the data lines must be connected?

I have been getting this error constantly on my 2021, but never got it on my 2018. Tesla just replaced my cameras to see if that would fix it but I haven't driven much yet.

^ Dude can't read. Datasheet says "Repeated bend radius". Blocks me like a child when he is proven wrong...

Wow... I just went back and read your comment a little closer. Silicone wire is great for quadcopters and other applications where soldered connections are ok and you don't need to worry about the service life. It is horrible for crimped connections which need to hold up over time. The...

Then you have been doing it wrong for decades. Plenty of cable manufacturers rate their coax for dynamic applications. For example, almost every single modern camera on a robotic arm. Or any body worn military comms antennas. Here is an example of a datasheet for coax where the manufacturer has...

Blanket statements like this are dumb. At my job we use coax in moving applications all the time. They key is to maintain the correct minimum bend radius to prevent this problem, which Tesla did not.

I had this same issue yesterday and I have never had it before. The car refused to find my friend's address. I had to use google maps on my phone to route me, and it had no problem. So after 3 years of ownership I wondering if the V11 update messed with navigation somehow? I can share the...

It does not. My wife turned on the passenger seat heater Monday and it was still on today (2 days later) so it never turns itself back off.

Mine didn't open either.

It has nothing to do with when you first get in the car. Windows fog up randomly while driving all the time due to changes in temperature and humidity.

The coolant nipples totaling a Tesla or doing $20k+ in damage has become quite common. Tesla really should spend the extra $5 per vehicle to make this a metal bulkhead with a plastic thread in nipple that can be replaced after a collision. Not doing so is a disservice to their customers.

You can't check the pressure before driving, it only reads the sensors after the car has started moving. Also, I often check the tire pressure if I think the car is handling a little funny, or after hitting large potholes, sticks in the road, driving past accident sites that were never cleaned...

I bought my car based on the features and UI it had when I bought it. Tesla took that UI away from me and now I have no way to revert it back.

Voice commands don't work well here in the boonies. Gotta have cell coverage and about 50% of my commute doesn't...

Another gripe: The blindspot monitoring is useless as implemented. The video feed pops up in a spot that is completely blocked by my right hand/arm on the steering wheel. I want to use it, but can't without taking my hand off the wheel when I am trying to change lanes... Safety hazard!

I have been saying since day 1 that Tesla needs snow guards. The sliding snow and ice will rip off gutters, damage landscaping, and can seriously harm or kill people. Every standing seam metal roof in the northeast has snow guards for this reason. A 400lb sheet of sliding ice falling 2 stories...

Jesus... I just tried to change the wiper setting in my car while driving. The speed setting is in the middle of the control menu surrounded by other buttons. Before you could rest your hand on the edge of the screen to stabilize it while bouncing down the road to make sure you don't miss the...

I don't want my car to auto-brake in reverse. I drive my trash cans down our 1000' driveway with them hanging out the trunk. Auto-braking would prevent me from backing up while taking out the trash. Also, backing into the garage or parking spots the sensors are constantly red beeping because of...

Defroster should never be buried in a menu, that is unsafe as hell.

Hate to break it to you, but your draggy is ****ed up or not securely mounted and is tumbling around. You physically can't have linear speed increase with accelerations that look like that. It is basic physics.

Seeing as how I haven't received any updates since since summer, I am not holding my breath. Owned the car for 6 months now and only 1 update... My last Model 3 I got updates monthly.

I would file a criminal complaint for the sole fact that it creates an undeniable paper trail of liability when the person is convicted. Their insurance will not be able to avoid paying out and any future hidden issues related to the accident would be harder to dispute.

Garages can be conditioned space. Mine is.

My driveway is 1000' long. I use my car to carry my trash cans to the road and never have any issues when not wearing a seatbelt (except for the annoying beeping).

Not if it is properly sealed. Tesla appears to leave it uncoated however...

In my case they are always flashing other drivers. I agree, they are garbage.

>You're still not explaining why 2% extra efficiency (current to torque) is not exactly the same as 2% more peak torque. Because Tesla software limits torque (max current).

Tesla's motor controller software is what controls the amount of current going to the motor (not your foot). The motor controller listens to the pedal as an input, but Tesla software decides what duty cycle to PWM the Mosfets with inside of the motor controller. That duty cycle is what limits...
