    Tire Recommendation - Quietest all season?

    I bought them in March. Awesome tire, especially in wet weather. But they are somewhat noisier than my original tires.

    Mid-Range Real World Range

    My 20 month-old MR show 100% charge just under 250 miles at this point, pretty standard degradation. Real world, I get somewhat better than 250 in summer unless driving 70+. Winter, probably 180-200. Wish I had gotten Long range. Don’t think I’d be happy with even less range.

    NITTO MOTIVE - Longer Life & Lower Cost Alternative to Michelin MXM4 Tires?

    I put on the CrossClimates on about 4 months ago. Definitely noisier than the Michelins. Also worse efficiency, though I have heard that all new tires start off that way. Efficiency does seem to be getting better lately (independent of summer weather gains) They are outstanding with water...

    Model 3 Dashcam Moments - Video or it didn't happen!

    Was witness to this one a few months ago. Sedan had a nanny driving kids, so parents were relieved to see video and know it wasn’t her fault at all. re: the earlier discussion about sharing video, I waited at the crash site and gave my contact info to the two drivers once they settled their...

    Poll: Is FSD Worth the Cost?

    My wife agrees with you. She only an occasional driver and the car scares her. I don't find myself feeling at risk at all. Because I geek out on it, that also means I'm always observing it and am always attuned and responsive to anything wrong. Took about 3 months to get to that point. On...

    Poll: Is FSD Worth the Cost?

    There are 2 answers, depending why you consider FSD: For the value of today's features? No. Because you love living in the future and seeing your car do new MAGIC every 2-4 weeks? And you check TeslaFi for updates waiting for new MAGIC? And you realize they literally just started tapping...

    HW3 Covid-19 impact and should I wait to upgrade?

    I did mine this past Wed. They called the day before and outlined how to do contactless drop off and pickup. Played out pretty well, and they had sanitizer next to the Check-In kiosk. Certainly can’t claim it was essential for me to do, but dammit, I wanted cones, lights, and stop signs. And...

    Recent Software "Downgrades"

    I suspect the greater appearance of downgrades is a combination of increasing rates of HW3 deployment with a lull in new software rollout. I got HW3 upgrade on Wednesday. Was on 8.1 before chip swap, left shop on 4.1. Assume that would look like a downgrade on Teslafi.

    TeslaCam Ensures Justice After Accident + Validates Need for FSD

    Here's some additional info about the scene: 1) The driver had two guys beside him in the front of the van, so a greater chance of having a partially obscured view 2) Shortly after this intersection (moving in the direction I was headed) there is right lane exit connecting to a highway, which...

    TeslaCam Ensures Justice After Accident + Validates Need for FSD

    While driving to work this morning, a van tried making a U-turn at the intersection behind me. Unfortunately, he didn't see the oncoming car! Fortunately no one was hurt, and I let the drivers know I probably had footage. As it turned out, the left cam was perfect to help the car driver...

    Elon Confirms that the FSD sneak peak is for car with HW3 only

    My guess is that Elon will announce a HW3 upgrade timeline when this release comes out next week. Seems logical to blast through chip installs in Jan/Feb once the service centers are through the end of year rush. Just don’t know what rate they can do them at. While Elon can be tone deaf, I think...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.2 - FSD AutoSteer Stop Sign Warning and Adjacent Lane Speeds

    Fully agree. 20x processing with FSD + dojo behind the scenes + massive growth in video from the M3 fleet = something far beyond today’s AP. That said, the challenge is so hard that early FSD will be like early AP. Barely usable and dangerous if you fully trust it. But just as with AP, it...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.40.2 - FSD AutoSteer Stop Sign Warning and Adjacent Lane Speeds

    So far, so good on 40.2.1. Besides the well-documented lane changes, my keyless/phone entry finally works again. It was failing 80% of the time on all 36.x variants, so hooray for that! I also swear it handles better on normal, non-autopilot driving, but I can’t put my finger on anything. I...

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.1 update released with 5% power increase

    Not exclusively. I got it on my 3 Mid range last Friday. Post purchase FSD, HW 2.5. No EAP.

    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.1 update released with 5% power increase

    Model 3 MR in VA. Got my update Friday night. Seems a little peppier, but hard to be sure since I rarely floor it. Stopping mode takes some getting used to, especially in reverse. Not sure yet if I like it - will need a couple weeks to see. Seems a little more powerful than normal regen...

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    Good point. I will lower my expectations! The artists shown appear random and incomplete, so will need to learn how to compensate.

    V10 Impressions from those who have installed the update

    Overall, I'm quite happy with v10. Here are my main points 1a) Basic AP is way more smooth when environment changes. When a car merges in front, it backs off slowly, doesn't actively brake. It also slows further in advance/more gradually for stopped traffic. Elon said v10 would improve lane...
