Apparently one can with sexy buttons. Been wanting to try but need $180 to put the first button.

This is why I bought these... Uber passengers really appreciate it. TIKSCIENCE Door Handle Protector for Tesla Model 3 2017-2021 Pull Door Handle Warp for Tesla Model Y 2020 2021 Door Handle Cover https://a.co/d/fWDGtMG

Still no progress Jan 16, 2024. I really need this done ASAP as I drive uber and this spot for charging would be clutch. Wishful thinking it will be done by eoy 2024.

Thanks for reporting on this. Hopefully no long term issues keeping it open so we can all make plans around it.

I just called the main number: 1 (888) 518-3752. It took a little bit to get through. Called today again, still looks like it is down and they still maintain it is an utilities issue, whatever that means.

So I decided to bite the bullet and be on hold for 30 minutes, but finally got through to someone at Tesla. The site is down due to a utility paperwork issue. This is likely an oversight and they escalated the issue. Weird thing is, when you look at super chargers in the U.S., in your car, it is...

Any update? this is crazy to be down so much. I need it if I'm to do SCCA at Grissom! :)

I'm not surprised by your experience and opinion on the matter. Hopefully they will give you a refund. Tesla needs to be upfront about how far away their FSD really is from implemented. By the time they deliver what they promise They will have raised the price to over 20 grand.

Then let us buy it for that 2k difference. Better yet, since acc tech was on my 2010 acura, make it default for any damn Tesla at this point.

Saw this post about relying on 14-50's to support a day at a track and thought I'd share my experience.... Having spent a day at GingerMan Raceway, MI last summer, I found that charging at the max 12 kw or 48 amps @ 240 v, utilizing facilities Tesla wall charger, wasn't enough to keep up with...

Definitely v3. Attached is the data plate for chargers. Each post gets 250 kw. So 400v*631 a ~= 252 kw. It also appears v3 is sharing 4 posts per charger box with total of 575 kw DC output. This mean probably sharing of 575 kw per the 4 posts. So if 1,2,3 are being used by low SOC model 3's...

Your response is a great example of why people should wait on speculative purchases. It would be nice if Elon tweeted that all our cars will get a software/hardware update to HW4.0 that will initiating their self flying features as well :) Honestly though, when you see regulation flying onto the...

Tesla is innovative as hell, but that doesn't mean they've solved machine learning--camera only AI with an order of magnitude superior safety margins relative to humans yet. I'd say they are less than 10% there. I think they need to amass orders of magnitudes of data more than today before...

I think most who buy it probably did it for similar reasons. Sucks that you cannot use even the basic stuff in UK. I specifically bought the car without any advanced features that didn't do what their name suggests. I bought because I wanted the raw sheer performance of power train since I track...

If I wanted FSD, today I would need to spend $10,700 (with taxes) to get it due to buying my performance model 2 weeks too early (Mar 2019). I probably would've spent the $2,000 price bump to add AP it at the time due to base price adjustment to make AP standard, but I agree with you, now it...

Moderator note: This post and the following one were merged from a different thread. Thought I would drop a few photos from a supercharger construction site. Glad Tesla is getting this done!

Well, that actually is a bit careless, but point is, once you attach a trailer, especially run of the mill 27 foot rv trailer (big wind parachute), your range will take a dive. See this test the guys at TFL did recently with their Model X . I think they were trying to stay at the 70 mph speed...

True, I'm really more interested in Ford's electric answer to Tesla as a better comparison. I love the competition this is bringing out in Chevrolet too, can't wait to see which truck will actually tow 14000 lbs any significant distance at 75 mph. I really want to see a tow rating along side the...

Well... not one rev if more than a single cylinder engine. firings = #cyl/2 for 4 stroke, so a 6 cylinder would've fire 3 times per rev. I would be interested in the lag times of commanded torque vs actual. In addition, the controller can retard cylinders very quickly, but no where near as...

Original post was focusing on a lab setting, my second post ("To be fair, to do exactly what I'm saying outside a lab setting, would prove difficult by the average consumer, but a responsible attempt by an unbiased test between the two trucks") really meant to address that a real world test...

That wasn't at all the point, but yes, the consumer is not setting up the test in the video (which I believe it to be a pathetic attempt to win over the uninformed). To win over the average truck consumer (i.e. that may have performed in tug-o-wars, towed heavy trailers or driven light in the...

They will decline until they have their full electric platform ready to show to the world. Then it won't be an easy win for Tesla. Think about if the trucks had exactly the same weight over each tire, tires being the same type, pressure and ultimately patch area, the same amount of distribution...

Bump...! I would really be interested in an updated dyno run with the latest power update (~500hp). Anyone have new data out there?

Yes, it will still open, I was mentioning that because I think it is a side case not handled properly by Tesla. I'm not saying it is a big deal, but I don't believe it is a great implementation since it could easily be solved by simply increasing time before auto lock occurs or implementing it...

I agree with this as well. I finally received a response from Tesla that states what the release notes failed too. " Hi, Thank you for contacting Tesla. At the current time, the Homelink button is only in the application for vehicles that have AutoPilot or Full Self Driving. I will certainly...

With a locked garage, I'm not worried about car being stolen either, but the main reason I would like to control the distance this autolocking occurs, or adding a time delay is simply to better the implementation of the locking. When I walk around the front of my car (even 2 ft away), it...

My apologies for not research the latest on this before posting because you are quite correct... Tesla changes return policy after Elon Musk’s contradictory tweets In my case, I had purchased the car (Mar 1, 2019) before policy was clarified officially (for which I missed). When I went to...

Well, maybe not brake pad replacement, but the disks might rust away due to brakes not scraping them clean once in a while??

I think this hold mode would be better if Tesla allowed for brake blending adjustment. For example, instead of waiting until ~0 mph, allowing blending @2, 1 or 0 mph. The other improvement I could suggest to handle the car going in the opposite direction is to arrest any motion by...

Love the story, however I would caution people in officially.test driving one from Tesla. If you do, you will loose the 7day return window. While this will not be an issue for many since they will be happy with car, it can could come back to bite. I actually returned my first model 3 purchase...

Tesla needs to change out to the ports to heated versions :)

If you were ever needing to do this, at least stop the EVSE first!

Me 2.

Update: I've been working with the local car wash. The regional manager was good enough to let me inside the track area to help identify/document the issue. I found several bolts, that attach the 'banana peel' (yellow plastic surface that the inside of the wheel is designed to rub the entire...

Well, when they are constantly being gouged, the enamel plating is being ripped off as well. This is definitely not normal wear and tear and the local car wash is now investigating after I filed a damage claim. All of my rims have been affected as I've rotated them throughout the year, however...

Thanks for the tip. The inner rim lib is gouged in hundreds of places over this summer. Since there will be massive salt during these heavy winters in Indiana, I'm wondering what is the right sealant for repair to being back to factory spec. I'm not sure touch-up paint will solve the problem...

Hello all, I recently swapped my wheels for my other set of race wheels for an upcoming event and to my dismay, I found the front driver side wheel to have extensive damage to the inner rim lip. After considering the location of damage and frequency of local car wash visits, I believe the...

So, Off the cuff, probably the right equation for Musk statements to actual delivery dates is F(ETA)=2(ETA)*current_musk_ego^PI

This is causing unnatural selection. Should this guy now be charged with impaired driving?

That is very awesome. In Indiana, they tax electric during registration to punish going electric (it costs me a few extra couple hundred annually to register since my Tesla). They claim it is because I'm not paying fuel tax at pump. It is amazing how some states hate the idea of electric and...

You can totally fit 265 (I test fitted), I decided to go with 255 35 19 stock width aftermarket setup to stay in BS and maintained sharpness since I also track car I didn't feel loosing 4% in PAX to be SM was worth doing 275 and slightly wider rims. So far I've been first in PAX every event with...

Nice! I've thought about replacing brake pads and fluid to help. On the straight I was hitting 135 ish every lap, but that only happened every two miles instead of back to back drag strips. Also Gingerman is like 15 turns or something so lot more regen setting up for long corners. Funniest...

You can basically run the M3P without any significant de-rating. I never noticed a different in my laptops at Gingerman Raceway, even after 8 20 minutes sessions throughout the day. The brakes go before any issues with battery or cooling system. Use heavy re-gen whenever possible and save the...

That is awesome! I too have been doing very well as stock M3P utilizing track mode and aftermarket rims (stock width of course to stay in BS class) with 255 /35 R19 RE-71R's. Every race, but one this year, I've been 1st in PAX and 2nd raw. These M3 Teslas do absolutely amazing. How much were all...

Hey all, I was on a road trip from Maryland to Indiana recently and found some Beats 3 earbuds laying on the ground at a supercharger. If anyone is missing a set of these. They are black and beat up a bit, but I will return them to anyone that can provide the correct serial number. I/M me and...
