    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    I completely disagree. You get into a rear-end, police comes, they find the rear vehicle at fault, their insurance pays, end of story. Admitting fault in an accident is a huge liability and financial risk, and if you say your car acted erratically (which you'll need to for the media to get...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Not very likely, because it would cost them money. Your car phantom breaks and the car behind you hits you, what incentive do you have to say it was a phantom break, therefore admit fault, get a ticket, put the claim on your own insurance, and raise your own rates? They can but they have a...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Why would anyone voluntarily go to a government agency and say "that rear-end accident, that was my fault, not the car behind me", and end up having their insurance rates increased?

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    The following is not relevant to the topic of this thread... But, in the video you linked, it says "you can request a copy of your data". Believe me as someone that tried, that is a lie. I did make a request, and it was promptly denied - Tesla said they only provide vehicle data if they are...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    "I would say you should do some research...but I don't think you care about research." "Now, if you want to just whine and complain about something you don't like, real or not,..." "Lots of people complain about PB, ok fine..." When you say things like the above, people stop taking you...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Doesn't Tesla already have access to your vehicle data, and aren't they already aware of virtually all cases of phantom breaks (software reduces speed, person presses the gas pedal)?

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    If you have 10,000 reports of phantom breaks (an extremely dangerous thing while driving) across different software versions and situations, Tesla should acknowledge the issue and VERY CLEARLY inform drivers of this specific risk at the time of purchase and whenever Autopilot/FSD is engaged, and...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Your persistence on seeing more data and calling this a situation-specific issue that requires case by case analysis sure makes it seems like you are trying to redirect the conversation from "consumers have a reasonable expectation of predictable behavior from their cars" to "what happened to...

    Major Phantom Braking Issues

    Asking for more data is inappropriate. The mere reporting of the issue by consumers is sufficient. Unless you work at Tesla, and you're trying to use this forum as a place where you detect reproducible bugs for your software. Which is also inappropriate. The point here is that it's...

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Thank you; will do this. Part of me thinks they'll play gotcha and point out the wording @Daniellane highlighted "Access to this feature varies by location"; but let's see.

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Right. That same paragraph starts with "As part of putting you in control of your data and privacy"... but as you mentioned and the email response shows, it looks like the existence of this page has nothing to do with caring about customers, rather, it's just there to satisfy minimum legal...

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Yes, which makes it disingenuous. See below for their response.

    Data privacy request denied - need advice

    Hi all, I submitted a request to obtain my vehicle's data from Tesla (duration of 1 week) on Tesla's data privacy request page. It was denied within a day, with a massage saying Tesla is only obligated to provide data in the State of California, and the European Union, and that their records...

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    All great points, thanks a lot! I ended up ordering two used M3P wheels from eBay for a reasonable price (since not using insurance and not sure how much longer I'm holding the car, wanted to go with the most cost effective option), waiting for them to arrive to have the tire shop mount and...

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    One more question - found the following and while mine are Silver so colors don't match, they are s other option. It does say they are for Front only. Are M3P front and back wheels different? New 20" x 8" Tesla Model 3 2018 2019 2020 Factory OEM Wheel Rim 96318

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    Thank you, great points. I didn't know about AAA's 200 towing, will definitely look into that. I thought I'd be covered by having insurance, but these past few days I found out that hitting a pothole is actually considered an at fault collision accident and making a claim would raise my...

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    Thanks a lot! Given that any shipping will take a long time to deliver - is there a huge benefit for going with a forged wheel as opposed to say TSW Sebring? Wouldn't either option reduce the value of the car because, third party? PS the local supplier is not really local, they're shipping...

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    Thank you. Inclined towards this option but two things is holding me back - 1. apparently putting third party wheels reduces car value for trade in or private sale, is that true? 2. I can't find any references if folks having used Sebring or any TSW wheels on their Tesla's. Are these...

    M3P tire question - two blown tires

    I'm in Panama City Beach, Florida. Discount Tire was saying the bending on the wheels were severe so the chances of them could crack while being repaired are high - they're highly rated in reviews so I'm inclined on believing them. The local wheel repair shop wanted pictures (which I don't...

    Bent wheels, 3rd party wheel advice needed

    Hi all, I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with two bent wheels and limited options. I have a 2018 M3P with PUP. Local tire shop, Discount Tire, has TSW Sebring in stock for $350 a piece (replace all four), and also has a supplier that can send refurbished used Tesla wheels for $560 a piece...

    M3P tire question - two blown tires

    Thank you; they don't have the T0 specs unfortunately, not much of an option at this point. I don't think the SC also uses T0 necessarily. That said, the variant that ends with AC, even though it's not marked T0, appears to have acoustic tech / foam in it. So notwithstanding thread depth...

    M3P tire question - two blown tires

    Thank you all for the great feedback. I'm traveling and there's no SC here, and out of all the tire shops here only Discount Tire can get the tires in within the next few days. Tire Rack did have the option of ordering the T0 variant but they are backordered until February. According to...

    M3P tire question - two blown tires

    Hi, I hope everyone has had a wonderful New Year's day. I have a 2018 performance+ model 3 with Michelin ps4s 20 inch tires. Last night I had a roadside accident and had two of my tires on the passenger side go completely flat and had to have the car towed. I am traveling and need to stay...

    WTB: Model 3 in Cincinnati OH

    Hi, I know you ruled out Performance, but I'm located in Cincinnati and wanting to sell so figured I'd gauge your interest. I have a 2018 Model 3 Performance (with performance package, not stealth), with very low miles (11,600). Color is red. In-service date April 2019, so about two years of...
