I got this warning when my 2019 was about a year old. They fixed it with a "service kit". Fast forward to 8/2022 and now at 50067 miles, I received the same error again. I just dropped it off at the service center this morning and after approving warranty work outside the warranty period (67...

As mentioned, using the car's navigation system is seamless. It will tell you when and where to stop, and when you are ready to leave so that you make it to your next charging stop or your destination. But that is only going to get you there. If you plan to drive around the area you are...

Mine is the opposite. About once per month for a couple of days the interior cabin temperature reads low. The car can sit in 100F temps in direct sun for a couple of hours and the interior temp only reads about 95F (in app) while the actual interior temperature is closer to121F. This means Cabin...

I bought these for my 2109. No problem with fit. They work well with the added shade to prevent any light fromcoming through.

Service tried to lube mine ('19 Model 3) after a year and it didn't work so they replaced the entire column. Fast forward to now and the second one is acting up. Tesla lubed it which worked for about a month but the problem is back. The car is approaching the end of the warranty so I am going to...

These are all guides and cannot predict the actual conditions that you will encounter. 225 should be easy but if you have 2 passengers and luggage, rain, a headwind, you leave at 4AM and want to use the heater because it is chilly out, and you don't fell comfortable driving under 20%, you will...

It is not a unique stretch of road.

251 after 15 months and 17K miles. LR RWD with 19s (39 PSI) and climate control always on.

Main difference is the Tesla has more wind/road noise and the ride is not at sophisticated comapred to a C-class or 3-series. IMO

I just posted this in another thread: A mobile ranger literally just left my house after attempting to fix this same problem. Software updates and reboots didn't work it so he replaced the appropriate hardware with no luck. So I have to bring it to a service center. He thought the problem was...

A mobile ranger literally just left my house after attempting to fix this same problem (but neither side works in my case). Software updates and reboots didn't work it so he replaced the appropriate hardware with no luck. So I have to bring it to a service center. He thought the problem was...

I believe you might be able to make a long stop in Baker that will allow a round trip back to Baker without a charge in Vegas. You'd have to plan it to check the possibility.

Eliminate phantom braking.

I love cruise control and use it all the time. It is an important feature to me. But the Tesla TACC's phantom braking makes it nearly unusable. After every update I give it a go to see if any improvements have been made but I usually experience phantom braking again the first day and I abandon...

Yes. In a perfect world when all cars are FSD. But we are decades away from that.

As it evolves into tru FSD I don't see how it could be any other way. Self-driving cars are going to be the menaces of the roadways.

I use Liftbars Liftbars for my 911. The same principle would apply here so maybe someone makes something similar already?

The loop side of velcro may work.

Tesla would benefit most by offering current capacities at a lower price point.

I'd rather see advances in charging speeds and lower costs for existing range.

I'm fortunate to own the best EV and the best 911 (997).

I prefer percent. I'm rarely in a situation where I would find myself at very low levels so it does not seem important to know how much range is left. Although when I am or intend to be, I prefer to use the Energy screen as it provides real-time range and range based on my recent consumption...

On the bright side you didn't have to deal with a crappy dealer experience.

Test 3 is not so bad. When you take the 12% remaining and 8% lost due to vampire drain and you'd be close to 300 miles.

If you are buying from Tesla, it doesn't matter. But from another dealer or private party you will have the opportunity to test drive the used car you are buying. For me this is a big plus.

I would return it. Tesla walks a fine line. They take their lead in the EV segment for granted and continue to deliver substandard vehicles.

Yes energy consumption is the key. If you are punching it at every start, or driving above 75 on the interstate, your range will suffer. I'm guessing you are in the 330 Wh/mi range based on the info given, which is high.

I second this. They did a great job on my car. Dropped the car off at the appointment time, walked to get some lunch and ready to go when I returned.

FSD will go the way of 3D TVs. Unless infrastructure is updated to accommodate it, and cars can "speak" with each other, it will never happen in a meaningful way.

People are lazy when it comes to returning carts. You can see them parked 10 feet away from the corral in the middle of the parking lot at my local grocery store.

Bite the bullet. You can figure it all out later. You only live once. You won't regret it.

I would definitely tint the windshield and roof as it makes a big difference in heat. I was a bit shocked how well it worked,

Try the California forum. There was a discussion about this (although opposite direction) but there are some on Turo willing to accommodate one-way requests. Tesla rent in San Francisco and return to LAX

I don't think 35% will be too dark. But my suggestion is to do all the glass (especially the windshield) simply for the heat protection.

You won't need anything special for your car. I use this on both my cars with good results and easy to use: S100 13700W Carnauba Paste Wax https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GZQP08/ref=psdc_15718371_t1_B002LOP5E4?th=1

You should asked them to explain in detail why they believe tint is the cause. Tinted glass in front of the camera? Water damage? I think they are blaming something to blame something. Why would you need to replace the windshield?

Love Chill mode!

I think your assessment of Tesla is spot on although I think 5 years from FSD is a overly optimistic. I am still going with my 2050 prediction which assumes that no changes to infrastructure are made to accommodate it, and no laws are created that make self-driving standards lower than that of a...

I would like to remove these too. They should at least go away after a certain period of time. Perhaps you can be the guinea pig and continue to add stations to see if there is a limit. Maybe once this limit is reached it will allow you to get rid of them.

This is correct. All the videos I have seen regarding the wheel indicate that the wheel can only be installed one way. If it is cock-eyed, it is not because it was installed incorrectly.

You are charging to 100% right? What is your typical Wh/mi reading? It needs to be 230-ish to achieve maximum range. To help try to maintain a constant speed. Use Chill mode. Accelerate slowly. Use the brakes as little as possible. Max tire pressure. Aero wheel covers. I imagine you are mostly...

A quick calc and I am guessing you are 295ish Wh/mile which is high but not unreasonable depending on terrain and temperature. And that includes the 1% loss between drives. You'll need to be in the 230s to achieve the rated range. In the summer your range will improve without doing anything and...

Fender liner?

I use this guide for my 911 and Tesla. Might not help but good info regardless. Porsche Racer Shows You How to Set a Perfect Driving Position I find the seats comfortable.

The fact that you can't (or choose not to in this case) charge at home would be a deal breaker for me.

The nature of the beast. The first FSD cars will be the most inconsiderate menaces on the road.

If you document the damage and repair, and it is really only a rear bumper cover/sensors/paint at most, I am not sure there is any measurable loss of value. Sure some will pass over a car with a damage report without investigating, but in these cases the repair could be $1000 or $20000 and it...

Try the Electrified Garage https://electrifiedgarage.com/ This is Rich Rebuilds from YouTube's venture. They have worked on many salvaged Teslas.

The least expensive option is an SR which you will have to order at a Tesla store. It can't be ordered online. I believe that this does not come with Autopilot standard. You can then add Autopilot, FSD, or SR+ upgrade (more range) individually later on.

They should be up-selling like crazy.
