    Audiophiles, what gives better sound quality? Apple Music via bluetooth or the built-in Apple Music app?

    I agree. However Tidal definitely sounds better when connected to the car is connected to WiFi and you are streaming in lossless quality.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    That’s correct. They are ”free air” subwoofers. I’m concerned about this implementation as this type of subwoofer requires great sound dampening and will expose any rattles in the trunk area. I’m starting to think Tesla went the cheaper route in terms of speaker quality on the highland. More...

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    We don’t know if the sound system is better. More speakers? Yes. Better quality speakers? That is still to be determined. It is entirely possible that Tesla is using less quality speakers.

    200 miles review: Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

    Is there a better option for range that can handle some snow?

    200 miles review: Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

    How do these compare to the Crossclimate 2 in terms of range and snow performance? I live in the Chicago area. For reference I have been totally fine with the MXM4 in the snow so range is a bit more important to me

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    If sales continue to slow, they could release the new Y before Q3.

    Highland Model 3's new 17 speaker soundsystem

    This type of subwoofer typically requires the car has good sound dampening and tightly installed parts to reduce rattling, distortion, etc. Hopefully Tesla delivers quality sound….

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Agreed. No radar but it will have the harness in place for a possible retrofit like the Y

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I mean… is he wrong? It’s been almost a year and Tesla has not delivered summon, auto park and accurate distant readings on cars without USS.

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I would have traded in a 2019 Model 3 LR RWD. I am in a similar boat in NJ (9k tax credits). I have 2 kids under 5 and 2 dogs so the Y, like you, makes a lot of sense. I could use the AWD as well. Ultimately, I think the FSD transfer offer will continue or come back. They built the process into...

    2023 Model 3 without USS and proximity functionality [park assist / summon not available]

    I’ve made the decision. I backed out of my purchase (with FSD transfer) and will wait to buy a refreshed Y or a car from another manufacturer. I’ve driven the 23 Y a bunch of times. Great car but the lack of USS and front camera is awful. The 2023 models will be the only models without USS...

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    I think Tesla doesn’t want to advertise the camera because it will point to the fact that Vision may not be fully capable on the 2023 models. Smarter to be hush hush about it, for now.

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    That is basically what they just did.

    New Tires for 2019 Model 3 LR RWD

    What are the best All-Season or All-Weather tires for this car? I am in the Chicago area so I will deal with some snow (although we will use our Volvo mostly on snowy days). Are the CrossClimates2 compatible with this car? I don't see them as an option at Costco. I see BFGoodrich G-Force g-Force...

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    7500 (federal) + 1500 (state). To be honest, I’m actually going to cancel the order and wait for the front camera to be introduced to the Y or refreshed Ys. The 2023 Tesla models will be the ugly ducklings when it comes to Vision and Parking

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    This was my biggest fear and it clearly is going to be true. Just watch when they release S/X with front camera in Q1.

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    I think they extend the transfer to end of year. And likely bring it back at some point next year. They need sales.

    I’m actually somewhat impressed. Excited for these changes to come to the Y.

    200 miles review: Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

    What is the overall consensus on these tires? I’m considering these or BFGoodrich g-force. It is unclear to me which perform better in terms of range.

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    I bit the bullet. MYLR black with 20” rims and hitch for 49,720. Fremont build. No tax in NJ and 9k in incentives. I wanted to wait.

    Odds Vin 853xx from Fremont has HW4 and Matrix lights? I need to travel a bit to get the car so I want to make sure

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Makes you wonder if the Model Y refresh is coming sooner than we think or they need more sales to hit EOQ and EOY goals

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Yup, I’m on the fence on a 23 Y or waiting to see what the 24 Y or refreshed Y brings with the front bumper camera. Parking sensors are important to me.

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Have you noticed any improvement to Vision distance readings?
  27. J

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    It also impacts distance readings when not using those features. That’s my larger concern. USS is helpful when parking in/out tights spots, garages, doing u/k-turns, etc.

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Any sign of auto park or summon? Has Vision accuracy improved?

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    On the bright side, you still have FSD enabled on a car that can actually use it!

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Has Elon clarified if summon and parking features will return prior to 6 months? 2023 Tesla owners will have the least capable parking cars in the fleet without USS and a front Camera to make Vision more complete. I feel terrible for early Cybertruck owners. It is going to be fun parking...

    FSD V12 Elon Demo

    I’m curious if his HW3 Model S has radar enabled I’m very curious about this as well.

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    Considering Tesla put effort to build some of the transfer process into the Tesla App, I am willing to bet they will offer the transfer again.
  33. J

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    it also lacks summon, parking, etc features. It’s unclear if it will take 6 months for those features. At this point, I’m assuming 6 months. Ridiculous.

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Agreed. I’m about to cancel my FSD transfer for a new Model Y.
  35. J

    Do any HW4 Vehicles have FSD Beta activated ?

    Where does Elon state that HW4 cars will get FSD? To me, this seems like a new development that HW4 cars won’t get FSD for 6 months (at least)

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Does this mean HW Model Ys aren’t getting FSD for 6 months?

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    That’s not good news for HW Model Ys

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I’m curious if his HW3 Model S had radar enabled as part of v12. Was this asked Or addressed during the live stream?
  39. J

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    I don’t think anyone knows the answer but the reduction in RAM and Storage is almost definitely due to cost reductions. However, it is possible that the Ys and 3s don’t need the extra RAM and Storage for their infotainment system as they lack features like dual screens. I think it is a...

    Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3

    Definitely following the above! Hoping the FSD promotion runs longer

    Review of my first EV after 10 days and the first roadtrip (2023 Model Y Performance)

    I love my 2019 Model 3 and I enjoy AP/FSD but other brands are just as good and sometimes better depending on the situation. The gap in driving tech has been greatly reduced. There are many owners who feel this way and many reports stating the same. However, for what it’s worth, Tesla FSD is...

    Should I take delivery of this model Y?

    Ask them to fix and then accept the car. It’s a fair ask. Like dealers, they will pressure you to accept first but stand your ground and make them fix it.

    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    Tesla is going to have a mess on their hands with all of the different variations of their cars if they do choose to re-introduce Radar (which they clearly are) and USS. The common buyer will have no idea that their car lacks these features when older models have these features. I need a new car...

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    What is the latest on the HW4 in Model Y? Is it definitely stripped down? Do we know if it is stripped down because the Y doesn’t need as much horsepower as an X/S?

    Matrix Headlights on LR Y?

    What is the best method to confirm if a VIN has matrix?

    Model Y Standard v Performance

    How does the Performance model perform in chill mode in terms of range compared to the LR?

    Order Process for FSD Transfer

    Are any of you concerned that HW4 Model Y will have inferior FSD capabilities (or none at all) and parking capabilities due to lack of Radar/USS/Front bumper camera?

    Audiophiles, what gives better sound quality? Apple Music via bluetooth or the built-in Apple Music app?

    Agree. Definitely better than Spotify. I thought Apple was streaming at lesser quality compared to Tidal (not using Wi-Fi/download)? I suppose I’ll give Apple another try.
