My Model SLR is a 2020 Model. My Mode 3LR is a 2019 Model. The Model 3 has no problems after the download.

Ever since the download of Version 2021.4.12 my Model S has experienced failure in center dash display, in the entertainment area, and now in the radio area. The Service Center advises future downloads will fix bugs. The same version did fine in the Model 3. I just have this nagging feeling that...

So far, not telling us anything about the truck. I have had pickups in the past and the F150 was a good work truck. But it also could go deep into the woods and backcountry for firewood, hunting and moving around for a week, and fording creeks and gullies. Not to mention mountain roads. I hope...

Lucid announced their car will sell for $160,000.00 and will charge off 'Electrify America' chargers. It was a short news item. I was shocked at the price tag. Did I not read that they were going to be sold for around $128,000.00? Either way, I am not interested.

I have two Teslas, and since I do consider what I am getting for my money, a Bolt, which might appeal to you, did not to me.

Looks nice but maybe I'm not into racing or care how fast I can hit the quarter-mile mark. Even after 'tax credits' it still is expensive and I have to ask...what am I getting for my money beyond just a basic electric car? If I drive from Dallas to Virginia where do I charge, and if I have a...

I'm convinced there is no customer service. I am currently having an issue with the wrong car cover sent to me. You would not believe what I have had to go through just to try and get the cover I ordered. I have returned the wrong cover..there is no issue they screwed up. But no one will answer...

Wait until they screw up your order on a big ticket item and send you the wrong item. There is no communication once you request they send you a return label for the item you did not order, and then you ask where your item is....and you don't hear nothing, and further inquiries are a waste of...

Freo you are right about having to print out a manual. There are some who advertise they will 'sell you a manual'. And you are correct the manual will change with each update that comes on the car. I did print off a command sheet, but for the life of me I can't remember if I got it off the...

I picked up my Model S from the dealer in June. After I got it home, I wanted to take my Sirius radio account off my BMW and put it on my 2020 Model S. The car came with XM radio on it. My salesman had told me that Tesla did not have XM radio. When I picked it up, and showed him XM was on the...

I am 77 years old. I bought a Tesla with having never sat on the inside of one. After I placed my order for a Model 3, I watched YouTube on anything Tesla, printed off the car manual and studied it an hour each night as if I was in school and going to have a test. When I picked it up, the...

I would like to share something from BARRON's business news today. I will quote just some of the article whose lead headline was the Musk was becoming more like Henry Ford: " Two years ago after taking apart a Tesla Model 3, I couldn't believe how bad the body was put together says Sandy Munro...

If they make any part of it in Mexico, that will kill their entry into electric trucks.

I kept looking at the pictures and it reminds me of a shoddy body repair after an auto accident, with the oversize gaps and poor paint job. For the cost paid for a new car I would have rejected it also. I can understand first model production problems, but by now the quality should have improved.

Congratulations! I tell people it is really a different experience driving a Tesla. I know it put the fun back in. I was missing my BMW I traded in, until a friend told me he had to shell out $8,000 for some mechanical work.

Shark222...you give yourself to much credit.

DZDongles You have a nice day. You made some interesting points.

If you read the analysis of how J. D Power scored you will see that they did not factor in the electric engine or drive. They did not score the computer. They concentrated on gaps in panels, paint problems, wind noise, and quality issues. They even got off on the fire issues that happened to...

With that huge J.D. Powers survey of 2100 owners out of ultra thousands, your belief in its accuracy is most assuring. I'm sure you went on to the sites I offered and did some reading. I'm not backing up anything against you and J.D. Powers because between you and the Powers survey, how can...

Jason you need to sell your Tesla. With the J.D. Powers report you defend as gospel, I am sure it is keeping you up at nights and causing you to vent your anger. J.D. Powers has shown you what a terrible car Tesla is, and using a formula the included paint, air noise, vibrations, and panel gaps...

I read the J.D. Powers report. You need to look it up and read also. They surveyed around 2100 owners by telelphone In their evaluation. Powers had no criticism with the electric engine and the drive. Their grading included paint problems, air noise, vibration, and something else which I paid no...

I have a friend who owns a marketing firm and there is a big difference according to him with marketing firms, and firms who market and do PR for a fee, and tack on handing out awards. I never ever claimed the Tesla owners were making false statements. You overreached on that. As to taking heat...

Most all patrol cars will activate their cameras when blue lights are cut on. I pass this on as a tip to others in case you have a similar experience in the future. In our area, the camera tape is removed at end of shift and 'preserved' for a three day period. This is in case of any question...

I have no issue with a reputable car outfit giving an evaluation. But J.D. Powers knows about as much on cars as I do on evaluating an airplane. I know a lot of Tesla owners have posted their problems with delivery issues and I certainly believe they have a right to state their problems and...

J.D. Powers tried to shake down Tesla for their owner records and their research on some fires years past. This group stuck it to Tesla in a hatchet job that reputable auto people have called out..especially Scottie Kilmer on You Tube who has one billion followers and a mechanic with over 50...

Last year I bought my first Tesla. The model 3 as shown in the photo (black color). I liked that car so much I bought a Model S (still keeping the M3) and we picked it up Friday, June 26 at the Brentwood Tn. Tesla dealership. This is an outstanding dealership and my second experience. The car...

All you need is a quality control team that does not answer to the shop boss, and can pull and car off the line when they find quality control issues. Yes, it will hold up production. But, in the end, the service centers will not be faced with unhappy customers, you won't need to be spending...

The one thing that has driven all auto makers up the wall ,is the fact that they spend billions in advertisements, and Tesla is spread by word of mouth, and independent writings and coverage. I can't think of any product that can make that claim.

I hope the idiot does not turn out to be a 'non permissive driver' under the terms of the owners' policy. I feel for you. I know how I would feel.

Take your car to a reputable auto upholstery shop. These guys have dealt with stains, burns, and every kind of problem. They can either fix it or tell you that you have to replace., and even then some specialty shops, that do restoration, might even be able to duplicate the section of the seat...

I will take the range over self-driving any day. I do like my self-driving feature. But if Tesla was to offer me a car with the million-mile battery( not based on a million miles) and a range of close to 500 and above in lieu of self-driving, it would be an easy choice for me.

I always thought Musk was on OUR side. He may be a genius and captain of industry, but he doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

I have enjoyed the new update. It is a learning experience for both me and the car. The only problem I had, was when I approached a red light, and the car was in full auto drive, and I needed to get over into the right hand lane to make a right turn. I pressed the brake and turned the wheel...

I tend to agree with you. I had some minor technical problems and tried calling Tesla for two days. Like you said..no one answers the telephone and no one returns calls. Finally got some help from a fellow Tesla owner, but it stopped my thinking of getting a 2nd Tesla. I have a 3 year old BMW...

We can beat numbers to death, point fingers everywhere, and carry on each day. The stark truth is that ever since 1919, we have been warned by scientists and people in world health that a pandemic would happen, and it would sweep the world. We rocked along for years, and even in the cold war...

I was actually thinking about buying a new S later on this year. I began reading posts regarding this model and asking S owners their pros and cons. I have heard from others about this loss of range, and some other issues. I thought this was the premier car of Tesla and by now should be...

I found a retired Navy Master Chief Electrician and a retired local utility lineman. Bought the separate box, the fuze, and the additional line needed, as well as the Clipper Creek charger. Bought them dinner, paid each $100, and they did a fantastic job in under 3 hours. That was almost a year...

Always call the police when there is an auto accident. Having the police write down the other driver's version, would have avoided this hassle. I tell people that if you don't, I guarantee the other driver is getting advice from someone on how to flip this accident and avoid their insurance...

Before you go off in the wrong direction just be aware that they were probably an innocent buyer of the car before they sold it to you. Having discovered it has a branded title, they have put you on notice, and if you say in any, that you want to keep the car, that relieves them of any...

For dings and noticeable dents in a new car or well-maintained car, I recommend you first try companies like 'Dent Doctor' or 'Dent's Away" for removing them with no damage to the paint and looks just as new. Over the past few years I have used companies like them and both instances were way...

It must be something from the State, I insured my Model 3 in May of this year on a telephone call from the dealership when I picked it up.

I watched the intoduction last night, and got some video feedback on riding in the vehicle. To be honest, it caught me off guard and for awhile I could not decide if I did or did not like it. Well, I do like it. I like the design and materials put into it. I am not a pickup guy and honestly have...

My Sentry puts it's files in 'Saved Files'. When I put the thumb drive onto my PC, I click on' removable disc', then click on Tesla Cam, it shows two lines..... dash cam files, and the saved files. The dash cam files show front, sides, and rear camera, I discoverd the saved file is the Sentry...

I hope there are several alternative sounds to choose from.
