    2018 Tesla Model S - Premium vs. Textile differences?

    Premium interior has a better sound system, heated steering wheel, wipers, and back seats, and the hepa air filter. No changes to the headliner or dash, lighting is the same as far as I know. Keep in mind that the "textile" seats still have a lot of leather on them.

    Cost to upgrade to FSD from EAP still the same?

    When Elon announced the price increase he said that upgrades will also increase by $2k.

    Non-Tesla recommendations for 2nd cheaper EV

    The VW e-golf is a good car if you don't need more than 125mi of range.

    Tesla removes regenerative braking strength option

    Any time you use the regular brakes instead of regen is bad for range.

    Full self driving versus enhanced autopilot

    I upgraded from EAP to FSD. A week ago I would've told you only to get it if you believe that FSD will happen. But after seeing what FSD beta is capable of, I think it's well worth it. (You won't get FSD beta now but its implications for the future are amazing).

    Tesla removes regenerative braking strength option

    Maybe so they can advertise higher range numbers?

    Battery Breather Valves

    When you make a service appointment in the app, it always first assumes that it will be done as mobile service with the address you provide. If they read the description of your problem and determine that it must be done at the SC then they will update the appointment.

    Turn Display text RED at night

    I doubt this will ever be a thing but you never know, maybe try tweeting Elon ;). You can manually turn down the brightness of the display if it's too bright for you.

    "Refresh" Headlights, separate and repair DRL?

    All on the same car. Both original headlights failed and then one of the replacements.

    "Refresh" Headlights, separate and repair DRL?

    This has happened to me 3 times, Tesla replaced the headlights each time.

    Lowest Wh/mi challenge

    I know this doesn't count since it's just for the past 10 km, but I think it's the lowest I've ever had. -37 Wh/km is -59.5 Wh/mi. It was also in freezing temperatures (easily below 0F). Pretty cool how the car didn't consume any energy at all in the last 5 km, and instead generated over half a...

    Lane Changes Not Working Consistently

    In order for the lane change to work, the cameras have to recognize both lane lines of the lane you want to change into. It's possible that sometimes when you tried to make a lane change the other line was faded or wasn't picked up by the camera for some other reason. You can easily tell if the...

    Navigation Bug

    I've had this ongoing issue with the map display for about 2 years. There are these squares that randomly appear, some are black and some are from another part of the map that doesn't belong. It's a weird bug and I figured it would eventually be fixed in a software update but it never was. Of...

    NoA blinker confusion during entrance ramp / on-ramp

    When using NOA, the car is meant to merge onto the highway on its own without you having to put the turn signal on. Just as it does for exits, the car will automatically signal and merge. This has worked for me on some occasions, but sometimes fails if the on ramp is too short. By manually...

    Tesla APP on iPhone won’t connect to vehicle

    Always worth a shot to reboot the car's computer. Hold down both scroll wheels on the steering wheel until the screens goes black. It will restart on its own. If that doesn't work, restart your phone or redownload the app.

    297 Full charge?

    Not a big deal. Mine was the same. Model S was even worse, it was supposed to be 416km and was only 403.

    Thump when AC is on?

    Happens to me sometimes when supercharging. Might be a different kind of thump though.

    Autopilot is better than you think!

    Hi everyone! I made a video explaining some of the most impressive details that most people probably missed from an Autopilot demo video that Tesla released back in February. Autopilot is the real deal, this really amazed me. Just thought I’d leave it here for anyone interested. Let me know if...

    Question on A/C

    I did experience this in my Model S when it was supercharging. Although it doesn't have anything to do with A/C so you might have a different issue.. I got out of the car to see what was happening and realized it was the fans running on full blast to cool the battery. It's very loud (especially...

    Have I locked in a price

    You haven't locked in any specific price. When you make a reservation for a Tesla, you will eventually be sent to an order page (once they start production) where you can choose your specifications and review the price. When you get that order page depends on how early you reserved. In other...

    Wireless charging doesn't work with multiple phone cases?

    You're not the first person I hear saying this.. Looks like the wireless charger on the Model Y is either weak or it has some material covering it that, when combined with a case, makes the charging coil too far.

    Cabin Overheat Protection

    If your battery is less than 20% charged it will not operate. Is that the case?

    Snow Help?!? Window Lip?!?

    Once I had a layer of ice on my rear window from freezing rain and the next day it melted just enough to be able to slide down when I opened the trunk. Trunk was full of ice. That's what we get for winter driving a car designed in California :)

    Model 3 screen went black

    While driving I don't think so but I have had it freeze a few times while driving. Just a simple reboot fixed it. I've also had the screen stay black when I got into the car, again a reboot easily fixed it. Don't be afraid to reboot while driving.

    Not sure but I would doubt it. S, X, and 3 all don't go down all the way.

    ICE Car Road Trip

    It's a funny thing. Road trips are supposed to be one of EV's greatest weaknesses.. yet they're one of the best parts of owning a Tesla.

    Tires change in Montreal.

    Mobile tires is great, they were the ones that installed the winter tires for Tesla when we originally bought them and now we go with them every year. They come to you, so you don't have to take your car anywhere. Prices aren't bad. http://pneus-mobile.ca/service-pneus-mobile/

    Model 7?

    Definitely a typo... Musk announced that model Y will be made in this cybertruck factory for deliveries in the east. Also 7 is right above the letter Y on a keyboard.

    Wow, is there no cross beam across the roof?

    Looks very similar to the model S all glass roof. I guess they did this because the model Y is a hatchback (in the model 3 the glass roof extends all the way to the opening of the trunk whereas here the rear glass is separated for the hatch).

    I can’t believe I never noticed...

    I noticed it! There's some other little cool things too. Like did you know that when you put on your turn signal, it actually shows the taillights signalling on the little car visualization? It's pretty neat

    Performance Upgrade ride quality?

    In general larger wheels will always mean a less comfortable ride. I've never heard anyone say otherwise.

    Range is missing 30 miles?

    Model 3 LR is rated at 348 miles based on the WLTP standard (that's what they use in the UK). I think the range they advertise is generally unrealistic.. EPA used in North America advertises 322 which makes more sense.

    Used 2016 AP2 90D - Autopilot Question

    The list of features that were named definitely describe standard AP and not EAP. It's very possible that they removed the EAP features to resell the car (perhaps at a slightly lower cost). It's very easy to do, they just have to install a software update. I think it makes sense that they would...

    Any way to compell data connection after exiting garage?

    Yes, it's happened to me several times. Just reboot the computer.

    How do you tell what AP functionality a AP2 car has?

    Not entirely sure about the adaptive cruise but all safety features are standard. Buying EAP will probably no longer be an option since it's not offered on new cars anymore. But FSD should cost $7000 US, or $4000 US if upgrading from EAP to FSD
  41. WesB

    How do you tell what AP functionality a AP2 car has?

    Regardless of any autopilot software on the car, you get all emergency safety features as standard (forward collision warning, emergency braking, etc.)
  42. WesB

    How do you tell what AP functionality a AP2 car has?

    A Tesla from 2017 that doesn't have EAP would not have AP at all. Back then, the only options were EAP, FSD, or nothing at all. Today, the options are regular AP or FSD. Either way, there would definitely be an option to pay to unlock it if you don't have it.
  43. WesB

    How do you tell what AP functionality a AP2 car has?

    Not all cars with HW2 have enhanced autopilot. If you want to check if the car has EAP, just go to the autopilot tab in the controls menu and check if the car has navigate on autopilot, summon, etc.

    Ever Think You're in Autopilot, but You're Not?

    I've heard people say it's happened to them, usually when the adaptive cruise control is on but not the autosteer

    Ever Think You're in Autopilot, but You're Not?

    Yeah.. but the danger is not forgetting that AP is on. But if you think its on when it's not... It can take a while before you realize you should be getting nagged
