No I haven’t. A difference I just noticed is the IP address it says I’m browsing from is an IPV6 address whereas I used to be assigned an IPV4 address. Here is the message text (I’m leaving out the animated robot and I also concealed my actual IP address): OOPS!! Looks like Tesla Motors Club...

I've been following this forum for years now, and I recently moved to a new home only served by AT&T DSL service. Probably not coincidentally, I now am often greeted by the "Site temporarily unavailable" screen which indicates I've been blocked by some sort of security service that the forum...

Once I had the yellow arcs during a drive as well. It wasn't due to a curb, as they were completely stationary on the screen for miles. I did not reboot - during my next drive they were gone and I haven't seen them again.

ok I had to turn the beep back on to test it again today. And I found that we’re both right, sort of. If you press the accelerator right after the light turns green, within a quarter of a second or so, you don’t get the beep. But if you wait until you see the green light on the car display...

That is not true in my experience. If you press the accelerator even a little bit before the 1/2 delay is up, you get no nag.

I have to agree with OP on this one. I found myself deliberately creeping before the light turned green just to avoid the warning chime, so I just turned it off because that's a bad habit. I'd be happy even with 1 second which if I'm watching the light I can easily beat. Even 2 seconds would...

I'd wait and replace it after you get a crack in it. It's almost assured that if you replace it just because it isn't perfect, the replacement will get a crack in it a couple months later ;)

I purchased the upgrade from EAP to FSD when it was offered for 3K a few months ago but hadn't pushed for a retrofit because I didn't want to take the car to a SC. But the mobile service handles the upgrade just fine now. I requested the service this past Tuesday and it was installed today! I...

I just bit the bullet today and went for the EAP to FSD upgrade. That gets me the HW3 computer (I have 2.5 now) and keeps the AP improvements coming. Without HW3 I don't see too much room for improvement in the quality of the EAP functions, and I want my car to keep surprising me. Besides...

Elon's is a specious argument. Viewing cars in a purely economic sense ignores the deeper relationship that 95% of car owners have with their rides. The type of car we choose to own reflects on our own personality, and through familiarity gained by years of ownership of one car we know its...

Delivered to my home in Dec. 2018 and I've never been to a SC. Did have mobile out once to fix the broken wiper button which started out intermittent and eventually quit working. Back then you really needed that button to work since the auto wipers weren't as refined as they are now. But...

How about something you just can't do with any other vehicle: engraving. I could see at least a small market for CT "tattoo" shops for a personal, permanent statement.

Ugh, this sounds like a terrible idea. I'm already annoyed that a lot of software these days is paid for by subscription only (i.e., you cannot buy it) and don't get me started on streaming music vs. owning your own media, but if Tesla starts making me subscribe to horsepower I'm outa here.

If the subscription to some other service was included in their definition of "Premium Connectivity" when you purchased that option (which I did, it was included in the LR AWD feature set), then when you start paying $10/mo for "Premium Connectivity" to continue it should work the same as it...

I remember those aftermarket alarms that would give a verbal warning "Step away from the car" or something to that effect. When I heard those, it made me want to key the car even though that's something I would never do. I think the same applies to the current sentry mode - it treats innocent...

Funny thing, just the other day I charged my car to 80%, slider was on that mark. But when the car stopped charging it showed charge of 83%! I had recently taken it down to near zero (1% I think) so it may have recently recalibrated. I’m not sure if this means I lost range or gained it, but...

Yes! I can’t tell you how many times my kids or other passenger pushes one of the media or fan buttons while I am backing down the driveway and I have to manually reactivate the backup camera. I’ve almost got them trained but that touch screen is just too tempting. It would be a nice option to...

Setting speed to current speed makes a lot more sense to me, although I can think of one scenario where you would not want this - say you were not using TACC and the traffic slowed to a crawl. You enable TACC because it it makes it so much easier to deal with stop and go traffic. Then traffic...

When getting into the car, the radio and a/c are already on just as I had left them the day before. Once the car door is closed I feel like I'm in a different, quiet, uncluttered place and I arrive at my destination relaxed and ready for anything, regardless of traffic or other external...

The very first time I activated TACC on my new 3 was on the freeway at night in the rain (I know probably not the best choice of situations to try a new thing). But I expected it to work like a regular cruise control and set my current speed when activated. Unaware of the nuances, I was...

I'm curious, when Tesla says the battery coolant is "good for the life of the car" I read that to mean "Foregoing replacement of battery coolant won't cause any problems during the warranty period, so don't clog up our Service Centers with this kind of work". Maybe I'm being cynical, but I'm...

I tried it last night and after watching the spinner for 15 minutes it had categories up, but no songs. I lost patience at that point. Hopefully it will cache the song metadata at least, so that it only needs to load the actual songs later.

After enough mods maybe the cars start looking like their owners. This is the Tesla Grin.

I owned an ‘82 Trans Am and put one of those on it, trying to look stylish. Looks silly now. Mine was painted aluminum though, no warping problem. Those were outlawed due to cheese grate effect if you get rear ended by a motorcycle.

Yes I did. You’re right it’s a beautiful place. A bit spooky the day I was there though. Just me and the barista most of the time, no more than 3 cars charging. She told me it wasn’t unusual for a weekday but it was like a speakeasy the day after a raid.

It's fine with me for my wife to know where my car is. The reason I won't give her access is that I know she would mess with me. Cabin temp would be up to 90 degrees, speed limit would drop to 40 mph, and the horn would honk randomly. All in good fun of course. (Do those functions actually...

I've only done one trip requiring supercharging so far, it was from San Diego to the Bay Area and back. For anyone not familiar with the I-5 on this route, there are really no towns but rather roadside clusters of restaurants and gas stations at the highway intersections. I had never noticed...

If you only need another inch or so of clearance, why not just drive the car onto a couple of pieces of wood before jacking?

I've been lurking in this forum for a while (bought a LR AWD in Dec. 2018) and am sometimes horrified at some of the stories in here. But my experience has been nothing but awesome, with only one minor factory defect that was fixed by the mobile ranger at my home in about an hour. Having my...
