    What to do with FSD?

    I have FSD beta. I jumped through the hoops and have had it for a few months. It's cool; it's a novelty. I use it when I can. I want to use it more; I want to help Tesla get more data feedback ... but at what cost? My concern is my fellow drivers: If there is someone behind me, should I allow...

    Beginning of November, I started my trek with a score of 94. It took about three weeks to get to 98. I shifted into 99 for several days. I finally got the FSD Nov 30.

    98 Score - Got FSD Beta?

    I moved from 98 to 99 about a week ago. No email. No FSD. I have a model 3 dual motor LR. I am going out of town and won't drive the car for 2 weeks. I hope I don't miss out because my car will be parked.

    How Efficient is Tesla at Processing Title Work?

    I don't understand why this cannot be automated via computers. Mine was a very frustrating experience. If you live in a state like mine, Louisiana, you will not get a temp tag. If you don't have a temp tag, you cannot drive your car. If you trade your car, then you new Tesla is "bricked" until...

    Road Trip secret strategies

    I just completed my first road trip (New Orleans to Colorado and back). I have a dual motor long-range Model 3. I have returned excited, yet I still do not understand the limitations of the car when traveling long distances. The car was magnificent on the road. I enjoyed the frequent stops and...

    On Ramp - transition from autosteer to FSD navigate howto?

    I enter a destination - leave a starting point. I am on a road (two lane highway) with "Auto steer" (two blue lines). I approach the highway exit which brings me onto the Interstate. The autosteer will not bring me onto the Interstate, so I must disengage, or manually take over and force the...

    Range question - how does traffic effect range when travelling long distances?

    I am taking my first trip (New Orleans -> Colorado - and back) in my newish M3 (a few months old). I just came back from NOLA -> Austin, TX in an ICE vehicle. We got in bumper to bumper traffic through Houston. It added 2.5 hours to the journey. How would that have effected the range? Would it...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    The reasonable most honest thing: you get your packet in 7-10 days. The 30 days bill of sale is not clear from my search. Is it a "notarized bill of sale"? And how are you going to get that? And if you get pulled over ... honestly ... I have not met many cops who know the laws ... even if...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    If the Tesla was my only car, I would NOT own one. I am expecting issues. If I used any logic at all regarding this purchase, I would not have bought it. I cringe at the thought of servicing this car ... even if the NOLA service center opens tomorrow. I had to wait a full forty days to get my...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    Email/contact your delivery guy the minute you get your car. Ask them when you will get your packet. Don't give them the added 7-10 days. Tell him that you cannot drive your car in Louisiana. Tell them that not having a car is causing a hardship. Start with as much pressure as you can, because...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    If you look at my original post, it was dated August 13. They have had my money and my perfectly good car since then. If you don't know, my car has been "bricked". I cannot drive it because I don't have a temp tag. Anyway, I got my DMV packet on Monday. I am going to register the car today. I...

    How do you get status of title paperwork being mailed out?

    Mine went like this ... Understand that in Louisiana - no temp tag will be issued without the DMV packet. My car is essentially bricked until I get the packet. I gave up a trade on the assumption that I would get a packet in 7-10 days. Tesla is misrepresenting this and should be HONEST with...

    My terrible ordering experience. Anyone else go thru this ?

    If you search the forums you can find the checklists Tesla Model 3 Delivery Checklist: Detailed and Complete | Torque News I think the checklist is only going to help you BEFORE you take delivery. The truck driver is only going to offload it for you. Once he delivers it, it's yours. I did see...

    My terrible ordering experience. Anyone else go thru this ?

    I'm not sure i you are taking delivery in Houston or it will be delivered by truck. If it is delivered by truck, contact your delivery person as soon as you get it. Then converse with them about the DMV packet to get them to send it out immediately. Maybe you can get ahead of the game. I would...

    My terrible ordering experience. Anyone else go thru this ?

    NOLADriver, I am also a NOLA driver. If you are not a patient person, buy a different car. The ordering process is the easiest part. Me? I ordered and had to cancel my order because of the referral. Then I reordered. Car was delivered to Houston where I did a full inspection and drive before it...

    Delivery time to DMV package receipt

    I'm going through delivery hell - but - I have my car. It has been sitting in my garage parked for 3 weeks. I can't drive it, I can't sell it. It was funny, but it's not so funny any more. I think this problem is more common than I thought. Tesla won't return my emails. My state will fine me if...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    I was hoping I could write about a great experience. Buying a Tesla for me has been an exercise in patience. I took delivery three weeks ago (offloaded from the truck - drove home and parked in the garage). After seven days Tesla was contacted to check the status of my DMV packet. Tesla...

    Trade In

    I am purchasing a Tesla and am awaiting delivery. I live in a state where there are no delivery/service centers. Because of this, I wanted to inspect my vehicle prior to shipment. I asked, could I drop off my trade when I am inspecting the vehicle? The reply was no. They are collecting the...

    rather push a BMW than drive a Tesla

    I have had three (3) BMW's since 2003 325, 328, and Z4. The first one, I drove it and donated it to charity after repairs got too expensive. The second one, the same as the first - and I wanted to only own two cars (it was a third car). The 328 is getting traded in for a Tesla. I will be BMW...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    There are Tesla's in Louisiana. There has been a Service Center claiming to be opening in NOLA for the last two years. Not sure when it will open. Anyway - I really wanted to hop on the band wagon. And I am retired. And I have a second vehicle and a scooter. I'm not saying that I will be happy...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    Tesla Model 3 Delivery Checklist: Detailed and Complete | Torque News The Houston Tesla center was not a problem to do the inspection. The guy who was helping us was a "delivery guy". He was busy doing "delivery stuff" so he left us alone. He was helpful and offered us whatever we needed, but...

    New Tesla Owner Experiance - Louisiana

    I ordered my first Tesla incorrectly. I had a referral code from a fellow Louisiana owner. I ordered through the website and not thru the link. I attempted to get Tesla's assistance to manually enter the code. I also had typo's in the registration info. After two weeks of no help from Tesla (I...
