My internal camera is not working and it is prevents Autopilot from being enabled. It has glitched in the past, but usually was working after a few minutes. I scheduled service and got the estimate. Does this say that they are going to have to replace the windshield? I would have thought...

Hi all! I’ve been having some intermittent 12V issues on my Tesla as I was getting messages on a couple of drives that my 12V was disconnected and cabin camera was disconnected over the last week or so. I had planned to schedule a service appt if they continued, but it seemed to be a few days...

Here is the Morning Brew's Guide to Autonomous Vehicles. It seems to try to be objective. I found the SAE levels definition interactive useful.

I came across this bit of bad press coverage for Tesla from December. It is too bad that Tesla couldn't support this idea more in terms of service to keep these guys happy. The successful press alone would have paid for any additional cost. Tesla in taxi trouble in Holland - electrive.com...

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I thought I would create a new thread that can document some of the AP fails that we see on a day to day basis. Would be great to see these hopefully all go away once FSD is released. This one was a first when following a truck that was pulling a trailer...

I had an encounter last week with a small deer driving through a rural area west of Chicago. The deer ran across the road right in front of me from right to left. I hit the deer only the far left side and when I surveyed the damage, I did not see any major body damage. Two of the parking...

I had a wall connector installed in my home back in July, but only recently noticed that the electrician installed a 50A breaker instead of a 60A breaker in my panel. I remember reading that there should be around a 20% buffer between the breaker and the connector output. I have been using it...

I had new winter tires that I purchased from Tesla installed today at a local service center. On the 60 min drive from work, I received the error message: Tire pressure monitoring system fault. Sensors unable to measure tire pressure. I couldn’t access the TPMS settings while driving, so when...

When I purchased my Model 3 in June, I received 5000 supercharger miles via a referral. I assumed that they would last forever and I have used them sparingly, only when needed, about 440 miles in 6 months. However, I saw on a thread related to the premium connection costs that supercharger...

I just saw on my Tesla app that 40.2.1 was downloading to my car. I have normally gotten updates once they start to roll out to the larger group. When I checked on Teslafi, I see that there have been 3x the number of installs today versus the past three days, so maybe this is the start of a...

This is just a data point for those interested to know if scheduled charging works during the day. For the last two days, I have set up a scheduled charge at work. I plug in at 8 am and set it to charge by 4:30 pm. On both days, it has completed the charge (to 80%) at exactly 4 pm. At 4:15...

I had been keeping an eye on this company, and happy to see that they seem to be growing well in their space. The owners are huge advocates for EVs and their model may help build out a lot more charging stations across the US. Being able to charge for free is a great bonus. I haven't...

I picked up the car Monday and by Tuesday evening, I already damaged by car thanks to the Homelink auto-close. I had read about this happening, but it still didn't prevent me from enabling both auto-open and auto-close, since it sounded so cool. Not so cool and now I am sick to my stomach...

I just took delivery yesterday of my Model 3 LR AWD and am VERY happy with the car. There were no issues that I could find with the car other than a slightly scuffed front under panel. I've put 300 miles on it so far in the Chicago/Rockford area and a lot of that has been on autopilot. I have...

I had placed an order for an M3 LR AWD with FSD at the end of April but asked that they hold the match until the end of May since I was moving from an apartment to a house. I hadn't seen a VIN for a week, so when I asked the advisor, he copied in the delivery team and a VIN showed up on the...

I was wondering if anyone has experience with using a variable electric plan. I am in Illinois and I read that ComEd will come out to install a new meter to provide variable electric rates at no charge in order to get lower electricity costs at night. My (my wife's) concern is whether the...

I am a new owner (almost! order placed) of an M3 AWD LR - 18" wheels with dark silver ext and black seats. I live in northern Illinois and commute 120 miles daily almost all via freeway. I currently spend almost $7000 in gas & oil per year driving 30,000 miles, so I was excited to move to...
