I did one of their test drive events; both i4 models. I agree with all of these comments ^^^. Also, it was a bit off-putting to have to order the M50 to get driving assistance features. Oddly enough, I liked the acceleration sound effects!

I had the same experience, driving only 1-2 miles a day since COVID. Tesla service even sent a PDF report of their findings.

^^^ This is why I never bought a wall connector. Tesla changes like the wind on everything, so I can totally imagine this happening. Also, way back when I got my 3, they delivered it with like 40% charge and the first thing I did was pop out UMC and charge on 5-15. In retrospect I know I...

@ScottNY Totally agree with theories on A, aware of the Phrase from C. B might be a stretch, as it’s hard to imagine someone who can afford a Mach E ( along with the 15k added dealer markup) feeling like $6 gas price forced an EV purchase. I agree that the Mach E must be a hell of a lot more...

Went out to eat last night, saw a nice new Mach E in the parking lot. Stickers on the back window in this order … A. Thin blue line flag B. Forced to buy this EV against my will C. Lets go Brandon Still struggling to interpret this combo 😂

That part I knew, they are refurbished packs with age appropriate capacity.

I mean there has to be some objective measure right? If I went and said my LR only charges to 225 miles (69%), what’s to stop service from saying that’s not the case? If there was any chance of that happening, the battery warranty is a joke right?

Am I incorrect in thinking there’s an alert in the car when it hits the 70% or lower capacity? Thought I read in other threads that people got alerts.

You can make 65 miles each way without charging on an LR model. I regularly go from Orange County to San Diego and back, which is 80 miles each way. I'm not a leadfoot, and never tried in wind or rain though.

We haven't even talked about the seeming neurosis of the price hikes; lol. $1k hike overnight, $2.5k hike days later. I feel like others may do this better. If Apple wants more for an iPhone, they time increase to feature releases and some regularity.

Spot on! The BMW i4 caught my eye when it was announced, but then I thought "dealers" and "dealer markup" which I'm sure will be at least as much as markup on the Mach-E. Forget about it!

I thought MYP at $63k might be a good upgrade for my 2019 Model 3 at some point, but not $67k. At this point, I'll baby my Model 3 as long as humanely possible. Even worst worse case of paying out of pocket for a battery failure at $15-20k seems like a bargain by comparison!

Goes without saying. Haste almost took me down with this one.

Right. My theory is MCU crash or subsystem crash. I just so happened to have mobile service coming for something else tomorrow AM, but I’m going to ask if they can dig up logs and have a look.

I do have that recall notice, but it was thinking it read like an all or nothing failure of the camera.

Sensors too, or you don’t let it get that far?

I feel like in our cars, with limited visibility out the back window, the backup guidance should be redundant (I.e. if the camera fails, promximity sensors shouldn’t). Last night while backing up, I had a scary situation that made me realize I’ve become dependent on these systems. I had to...

So these two added being 50% over car reading is normal for park plus conversion loss?

I remember reading on this site a long time back that if you set your charge limit to say 90%, car's display says you used 10 KwH since last charge, you recharge to starting point should be about 10 KwH. My car will regularly take 16 KwH in actual energy before hitting 90% in above scenario...

I was going to say there's like 2-3 chargers in SLO besides Madonna Inn! I've run into exactly two ugly line situations like that video ... 1. Friars Road in SD when they were building out new stalls. The line was 5 deep, so I left to A Street. 2. Driving south on the 101 from up north...

The Hankook 4s2 got a great rating in consumer reports and scored very high on low rolling resistance. Anyone tried it on Aeros?

Has anyone figured out where the save dashcam clips button went?

I finally figured out the culprit to the camera problem, at least in my car ... Seems the holiday update itself did not cause the cameras to fail, but running the light show prevented them from working correctly afterwards. Service remotely pushed 2021.44.25.2 install (again), and after a reboot...

Not only it is difficult to use, it broke stuff. None of the cameras work on my car anymore.

I had to call mobile service after this update, cameras don’t work at all anymore. At first I thought it was backup cam only, but it seems to have ranked all the cameras on the car.

The Christmas show was cool, but the update broke my backup camera display. Just a black screen now.

Even if you take negotiation out, the amount of time you spend with traditional dealers is ridiculous as well. Case in point ... Wife wanted a new SUV years back, did research online, reached out to several dealers for best and final price. Arranged financing through credit union, proceeded...

^^^ This. I feel like I can't go back now that I've experienced the easy way!

Thinking this through more, other companies seem to have a decisiveness and purpose with their price hikes. Unsure if Tesla's is on purpose to scare people into buying before the next hike, or they just don't have a good plan? Someone may have said: Keep hiking until factories can catch up maybe?

I'd love all the powertrain, software and drive control of a Tesla coupled with a paint job from almost any other car company; lol!

I remember when their big thing was the $35k car and making EVs affordable for the masses, save the planet and all that. The more expensive cars were supposed to pave the way for these.

Price hikes this year are ~20% right? Think inflation is ~6.9% in general right?

Not going to win a ton of friends on a Tesla forum by saying stuff like this, but here goes ... They could surely push the price for these vehicles into the high 60's, low 70s eventually but then they're getting into pricing where buyers are used to getting luxury feel, especially on the...

I'm a relatively happy Model 3 owner who's toyed with the notion of trading for a Y, but I want something else like a 4860 battery pack or meaningful updates to pay that much of a price increase.

Anyone taken delivery of a Model 3 lately? If so, is 18" stock still MXM4 or something else?

That's insane, $46,999 (pre-tax) is about what I paid new for my 2019 LR RWD back in 2019.

My cousin's husband was looking at Mach-E's because they had a perception Tesla was too expensive. They called a local Ford dealer who told them it was list + 20k because they couldn't keep them on the lot. I won't ever go back to a traditional car brand for this reason alone!

The Volta thing is good to know, but in my case it was my second stop after Chargepoint gave me trouble to try another network. Based on what I learned from you, will avoid them in the future. I don't typically use public chargers around the house, but since the adapter failed on my last road...

I did think of this, and tried every single Chargepoint station in a bank of 9 by the house (you can push "cancel" if charge hasn't started and they void the payment). Also tried the Volta at our Target, no payment involved there.

Well, that was short lived. Two weeks and replacement J1772 adapter won't charge anywhere either. Scheduled a second mobile service appointment, this time they asked for $105 for diagnostics.

That’s scary, glad you’re ok. I had an incident with a loose tire bouncing down the that mountain pass by Palm Springs. Took out a fog light, headlight, broke bumper clips.

I concur, thought it mattered on long trips, but it really doesn't. Once I finally took a long trip, realized my butt/legs needed a break before the car needed charging.

Yep and they adjusted tire pressure, topped wiper fluid and oiled something under the front wheels while they were here as well. Great suggestion!

Agreed. 20% is most comfortable for me, and 20-80% takes now time. I rolled into Goleta Supercharger at 20% a few days back, and with the mess of construction and multiple queues of cars, I was lucky enough to be able to leave and go to Montecito. Wasn't aware of the wind calculations in ABRP...

Just an update on this ... I was able to get Mobile Service out this morning, they swapped my adapter immediately and suggested we go to Chargepoint about 1/2 mile down the road to verify. New adapter had trouble as well on the first charger, but moved down one and it was fine. Tech said he...

The car's own route plan is way more conservative and useful than ABRP. I've never been comfortable rolling into a Supercharger with 10% SOC, too little margin for error.

Thanks again. I'd seen the other thread, but thought melting would be more obvious. Maybe you all can see something I don't in attachments. I'll try service appointment, I was thinking to chat and get some advice.

Thanks all. Is the melting visible? I don't see anything on mine, but I can post pics. How does one open service tickets? I tried Tesla support chat this AM, but its waiting for an agent since 8:30AM.

Unfortunately found this out during a road trip, but had backup plan ... My J1772 adapter that came with the car has never given me issues until I was out of town this past weekend. Prior to that, I'd used it successfully in Manhattan Beach Mall back in June. On the trip, went to a...

@KenC: I tried getting a picture that would illustrate clearly, but the carpet definitely masks it in pictures. @m a x i m u s: The ridge does cross the driver and passenger footwell. It’s maybe 6 inches max rearward of gas/break pedals.
