    What's in your (f/t)runk... RIGHT NOW!

    My ex-wife.

    Will the Cybertruck Float?

    Float on water? Pfffft, It was just leaked that it will actually drive on water, feed millions with a single loaf of bread, and heal COVID-19 (or any other disease). For surely it is the Son of Musk, and who shall believeth in the CyberTruck shall live forever.

    Updating a 2020 Tesla vs 2020 Updating a Land Rover - A lesson in WTF

    If you can't get your Tesla to connect to your router then the issue is with your router - if you need help why not ask - there are many of us with networking expertise that are happy to help. And take it down a notch there, cowboy, no one is saying that Tesla is the "be all and end all of...

    Updating a 2020 Tesla vs 2020 Updating a Land Rover - A lesson in WTF

    Negative on the flyby there Maverick. There are VERY few things that I'm willing to tell my wife what to do - and telling her to get in line definitely ain't one of them. Becoming a Tesla only family just happens to be ONE of those few things.

    Updating a 2020 Tesla vs 2020 Updating a Land Rover - A lesson in WTF

    So, on Thursday my wife's 2020 Landrover Discovery popped up on her screen that there was a map update available. That was the first update since I bought it back on January 6th. So I thought that this is a great time to compare the software updating process of Tesla vs LandRover. First Tesla...

    Anyone reconsidering their order after seeing how Elon is reacting to COVID-19?

    If Musk were just some inconsequential CEO of some inconsequential car company (they're all pretty much inconsequential now aren't they?) then I'd be inclined to think him a fool. As it were, Musk has proven himself to be one of the great creative minds of our time, I dare use the word genius...

    Don’t use hand sanitizer on your 15” screen

    I put a N95 mask on my screen so I no longer need to rub it with hand sanitizer.

    Model 3 power frunk UI questions

    So I gotta ask. You're OCD about handprints yet you bought a car whose only interface is a 15" touch screen...

    light hearted request... your car name? - and why

    TK 421, after the long lost stormtrooper from Star Wars Ep.4 who was not at his post guarding the Millenium Falcon, but is now guarding my garage.

    Am I the only one with a (nearly) flawless overall experience??

    100% flawless experience with the Alpharetta, GA team From my first test drive in July at the Tesla store, through ordering in January and great communication with my SA, delivery schedule was ahead of the anticipated date, and the delivery day 4 weeks later in at the SC was quick and...

    Autosteer problem with "Super Street" U-turn Lane

    Not to be flippant, but autopilot follows lane markings. With that in mind, I'm curious as to what you thought that it was going to do in this case?

    Leaving new M3P in garage while on cruise

    Wow, I was not aware of how popular Teslas were with old wash women. We're looking forward to our Disney Cruise out of Cape Canaveral on July 1st. Too bad about the lack of chargers though - but thanks for the heads up. We're going to drive down from GA so I'll just super charge it before we board.

    2020.8.1

    I always wondered. Did you mean the Jack kind or the Phat kind?

    2020.8.1

    So far: Track mode has more tweaking capabilities - front/rear bias and overclocking the cooling compressor to prevent performance fade - warns it will reduce the life of your compressor. Bluetooth waits until your phone is actually IN the car before it transitions your phone to the in car...

    Pedestrian Noise Maker Retrofit for 2017/2018 Models

    Mine (picked up Feb-8) makes no noise going forward either. I actually bought the removal kit, but I actually like the UFO reversing sound. My Club Car electric golf cart has the same requirement where it makes a warning noise in reverse but makes no sound going forward - it has a top speed of...

    Is there a way to load custom spotify playlists into the Tesla Account?

    Yes, when you sign into the Tesla with your Spotify account it has everything synced - if that's your question. I just wish they had crossfading on the Tesla player.

    Racing stripes on model 3?

    I saw 24" spinning chrome rims on a BMW M3 once. I equate that with racing stripes on a Model 3. BUT, if you do, make sure to bolt on a loud muffler, and a huge rear spoiler to complete the effect.

    Any hack to remove the autopilot nag?

    This is a REALLY long thread to say - NO, there is not.
  20. WarEagleX

    Oh Deer.

    Is it possible to harness the power of the high voltage batteries to fashion a rudimentary plasma weapon to vaporize threats like these?

    2020.4.2?

    Yep, just updated mine today. Mine was still on the factory build.

    How many of you still carry keys?

    No Tesla Key, Garage can be opened from my phone, and all home door locks are Nest locks. The only thing that has a key is my golf cart, unfortunately, and it is so weird because now I just get into it and expect it to begin operating then I have to go back inside and grab the key.

    I’ll get roasted but here goes anyway

    I was just musing yesterday how much I love not having a keyfob in my pocket. That will be one Tesla option which will go unpurchased.

    Tesla coercing software updates!?!

    Okay, then. Obviously, if property law and purchase agreements cover you as you say - then why are you wasting time posting here when you can be seeking class-action relief in court? Why hasn't ANYONE sued Tesla for this practice?

    Tesla coercing software updates!?!

    This is a lesson for everyone. IF you want a "car" don't buy a Tesla. Tesla is a lot less "car" than it is a computer with wheels. It will need to be updated, features will be added and removed, security updates may be mandatory, and ultimately the direction of the technology will be mandated by...

    Does a Rear Spoiler Keep the Rear Cleaner?

    Actually, more downforce increases the efficiency of the transfer of power from the rear motor to the pavement. It acts like vortex generators on an aircraft wing which reduces drag. The problem is that for any of this to matter you have to be driving at high speeds - speeds well beyond the most...

    Automatic WiFi Connection

    My 2020 supports 802.11ac which is both 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz. I don't know about older models. And yes, if it didn't support 5Ghz you would not see the SSID unless it was broadcasting in both bands on the same SSID.

    Let's talk software versions - stuck on 2019.35

    My new P3D+ with FSD has version 2019.35.106 f83b666. I have switched to Advanced but it is showing up-to-date.I'm connected to my Wi-Fi and have an access point in my garage specifically for the cars. I've even tried the much-disputed holding the Advanced button, or hitting it 5 times - but...

    I think I just wasted $7,000 on FSD?

    I took my P3D+ out for a two-hour shakedown ride on the highway and I had so much fun that I realized that I will seldom use FSD - no matter how cool it is. The reason is that this is indeed a driver's car - and I consider myself to be a car snob having owned Porsche, BMW and Benz - and having...

    Walking on My Model 3

    As an aside - I travel to Silicon Valley all the time but never go to San Fran. But late last year a client had an event and put us up at the Fairmont. Sitting in the Uber from SFO I couldn't believe the desolation and human carnage. I kept asking the driver if we were in the Mission district...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I did my door handles too, but I did them in the white pearl to match the body, so the door handles would "disappear" I think I like the effect. I'm waiting on the carbon fiber turn signal shells now. Speaking of wrap. The dealer highly advised to do a clear wrap for the front of the car. He...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I did. I've put in the carbon fiber wrap for the console, the wireless phone charger, and did some wrap overlays so the Tesla T's are red. I'm gonna do the badge delete tomorrow and then chrome delete this weekend. The wife keeps walking by and shaking her head. Only thing is I can't get the...

    Performance Waiting Room

    Picked her up today. Mind you I'm coming from a 2017 Benz AMG C43 and my other car is a 2020 Land Rover Discovery Landmark - so its got a lot to live up to. With that said -To be clear, this car is every bit the luxury car as my Benz or the Land Rover. It's every bit the performance car as my...

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    I would tell you the same things that I tell couples who are arguing. Keep your dirty laundry between you and the other person, stay off social media, and don't disparage the other person to your friends - no matter how bitter the dispute - unless you're positive that you don't intend to go...

    Performance Waiting Room

    You know - THIS is exactly why I don't gamble because generally, the only luck I usually have is bad. So, finally, I have my pickup scheduled today and today is the day ONE DAY of the entire year that it picks to have a frikking snowstorm here in Atlanta. Not one flurry all winter, and BOOM...

    Apparently no NA model 3s are being produced

    Just pulling your chain of course. :p But on a serious note, when I first got my VIN I admittedly panicked because of rumors of bad quality at the end of 2019 as Tesla supposedly rushed cars through. The first thing I did was check the spreadsheet, my expectation was that I would get a 650xxx...

    Come on - don't do the Alan Dershowitz thing, you did say that! :D

    Apparently no NA model 3s are being produced

    I don't think your postulation is correct. This is a perfect example of the sample size being too small making your confidence interval too large to be significant. My VIN number is 642xxx and it is verified by the SA that it is just now coming from the factory in Fremont California on a...

    AutoPilot and merging traffic

    Even fully FSD capable cars will have issues with merging until the advent of car-to-car communications. Merging is perhaps one of the most complex dynamics of driving because there is a lot of "instinct" involved on your part as you act on subtle hints of the oncoming traffic to anticipate the...

    ...aaaaaaand it's over. I just got the text to confirm my delivery date. I'm 2/11 at 12:00 noon. That will make 5 weeks from the date of the order. It's been fun waiting with you guys. Soon it will be time to go over to the other forums and become a jaded M3 owner like everyone else LOL! If...

    Jerry, I was told today that it will be when you have a delivery date. You can then pay everything online and upload proof of Ins with the correct VIN.

    Performance Waiting Room

    Give them a call at (470)-415-7902 Ext. 4. They were really nice and confirmed all of the info in my account. They even made sure my name matched my paperwork and driver's license so there will be no delays on delivery day. My Owner Advisor is Barry Ross and he sent me a long email when I...

    Performance Waiting Room

    I called my DC after having received the VIN in source code on 1/26. They said that the car was on the train from the plant in Fremont, CA and will go to the railhead in Birmingham, Alabama. From there it's on to a truck to Alpharetta. He said that its a safe bet that it will be here by NEXT...

    "Remote Start" without cellular signal?

    If you don't have AT&T reception and your building Wi-Fi doesn't reach into the parking lot you have one alternative. Buy a prepaid cheap android phone on a carrier that has reception in this area. Use the wi-fi hotspot on that cell phone to connect your Tesla. Keep that phone in the car and...
