    2025 Roadster per Elon

    As long as you're willing to limit your speed to 15 MPH, you should be able to hit that!

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    It's never going to be "bug free" (no software is). I'm not sure what bugs you're worried about at this point I do a lot of things while on AP that I shouldn't, but have yet to get a "strike." I really don't understand what people are doing to get these. Yes, I get the "Pay attention to your...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    I couldn’t disagree more. I’ve got 87,000 miles on my car and 90-95% of them were while on AP. The only thing I didn’t like about it was having to disengage/change lanes/re-engage (with chimes that disrupted my music). But I picked up EAP when it was on sale a couple of years ago and that...

    Charging door closing immediately after opening

    For some reason, the only way I can get the door to close is to have one person hold it and then a bunch of us have to pick up the car and swing it around the door. Really quite inconvenient.

    Only 1x USB Serial Bus for data? "UI_a112 - USB device malfunction - I/O Error"

    I am a fan of this. I have a 1TB Samsung T7 and I highly recommend. I have it partitioned at 700GB for music and 300 GB for TeslaCam FWIW, I had two 256 GB SanDisk Cruzer drives for over 2 years with zero issues. I honestly believe that your SOURCE for the drive is equally as important as which...

    How can we save seating positions without Tesla app?

    This is not true. All she needs is a PROFILE with her seat settings. At that point, it doesn't matter who's key (or phone) unlocks the car. When we took a road trip last year, my wife and I would swap who was driving. Since we would often make the swap without changing who's phone was...

    Only 1x USB Serial Bus for data? "UI_a112 - USB device malfunction - I/O Error"

    I can't answer the question about the number of buses, but I can tell you the car CAN handle multiple data sticks. I actually have three data drives running in my car: A Samsung T7 partitioned into two volumes: one for music (just under 13,000 tracks, a large number of which are FLAC files) and...

    No Navigation, Camera, Camera

    So, there are three levels of "rebooting". The first two are in the NA Tesla Model 3 Manual. Restarting the Touchscreen - Hold down both scroll buttons on the steering wheel until the touchscreen turns black. Despite what the manual says, can be done while driving. This is commonly referred to...

    What's the best Wh/mi you've seen?

    Take everything posted in here with a huge grain of salt. There are SO many variables that affect it. I think the biggest factor is self-judgement of the driving. Someone could average 70 MPH on the freeway and think they're driving too fast and others will be doing 75 MPH and think they are...

    LA area: Borrow car ramps/help with replacing damaged bottom aero shield?

    For anyone reading this in the future, look into having Tesla do the replacement for you. It literally was just a few dollars more and a LOT easier than doing it myself (granted, I work just a couple of miles from the Irvine Service Center).

    The Lightning is in it's infancy with less than 50,000 out there (don't know the real number but I feel confident it is less than 50K). When it was just the S and then the X, it was standard to give a loaner. As the numbers grew (there are about 5 million Tesla's on the road today), this became...

    250wh per pile to get performance rated range of 315 miles

    I had something interesting on this topic yesterday. Was driving up through Central California and was on the downhill side of the Grapevine (a 6% grade for 5 miles). According to my car, even though I was at 15% SOC (it dropped right after I took this picture), my car was still saying I would...

    Software update 2024.2.7 - battery condition update

    If you're doing things properly, you are setting the Supercharger as a destination in your map and it will pre-heat the battery on the way there so that it starts charging right away.

    Sure there is: often I don't signal when changing lanes because if I do, the A-hole I am moving in front of will speed up to cut me off.

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    So is staying below the speed limit and a host of other actions where people commonly break the law: it certainly doesn't mean people don't break those laws. I would say, on the freeways when you aren't in traffic, more people are above the speed limit than below. My suggestion is always, don't...

    How and Where to request new features

    You can already do that (turn off auto high beams). On newer (stalkless) cars, it is in the manual. On cars with stalks, I know you can go to Menu > Lights and disengage Auto Headlights. Not sure if a "press and hold to bring up the menu" works on a stalk car like it does on a stalkless as...

    Not to anyone with a basic knowledge of cars. First, your car had aftermarket wheels (that happen to look like ones that ones could get on a 911), an aftermarket spoiler, and a few other visual queues. Well, that and the fact that the 911 is a two door sport coupe and the 3 is a four-door...

    Can I do a software update via flash drive?

    Have you tried just connecting your car to your phone's hotspot? It is how I have done every single upgrade since I got my car. Most updates (besides maps) can be accomplished on my 22 mile (with some traffic) commute - MAYBE needing to finish on the next trip.

    Call me weird, but I like having a car that DOESN'T look faster/sportier/meaner. I like surprising people: way more fun.

    No LTE connectivity

    It looks like I found the answer to the "location" question. Just not sure it is something I want to do myself (I could - just a little too much liability for my preference). https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-A3CA654B-267B-4979-873B-0C8A980284CE.html

    Thank you so much for the info! It sounds like the modem is user replaceable? If so, where is it located? Did you happen to get a price to have Tesla replace it?

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    It is still the only way to get lossless music into the car. (I have a significantly upgraded sound system in my car.) While the Tidal Hi Fi + plan is better than most streaming, I am not getting as many "HiFi" tracks as I would like.

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    There are many things on a Tesla that are not on par with 20-year-old technology. My biggest pet peeve is the USB music UX. And this would be a MUCH easier fix than the wipers.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    But as soon as someone has to bring their car in to Tesla to get the update for any recall requiring a visit to the service center, it IS the owner's problem. Not sure about others, but my time is one my most valued resources.

    This question is akin to "did you rape the woman before or after you hit her?" @Knightshade has clearly answered your question: you just keep choosing to ignore it since you persist on asking it over and over, pushing for a "gotcha response that you can exploit.
