    FSD Beta - Geographic Differences?

    Perhaps. I just recall AIDriver or one of the CA testers stating that their drives have gotten boring. My few Wisconsin drives so far have been anything but that.

    FSD Beta - Geographic Differences?

    I just got the Beta in the “100 Score” wave. I am located in the Midwest. It functions pretty poorly, and far differently than most of the videos I’ve been watching on YouTube. I think Elon recently tweeted that functionality in locations outside of California would improve as more data...

    Sleeping in MY

    It looks like I may need to sleep in my MY next week at a party. Not having much time to prepare, I'm looking for some help-- 1. I'm 6'3". Should I fit? 2. Will a Thermarest or similar basic camping pad be sufficient? Or should I plan for something more robust? 3. I don't expect camp mode...

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    It would be interesting to see one of the Beta testers recreate a video from a Beta 1 drive where the car had moderate difficulty and rerun the route on Beta 10, and post both videos.

    Jack for trunk

    Can someone point me to a good jack to keep in the trunk to help with a roadside tire issue? I seem to recall some people recommend a jack with a rubber point for the car to sit on. Thanks.

    Extension cord - 25' vs 50'

    Here's the one I ordered. I'll let you know how it goes after this weekend's trip. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SQF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BM0oFb4T67V9Q

    Extension cord - 25' vs 50'

    I think I answered my own question. Based on the calculator below, voltage drop at 50 ft would be 1.9V and at 100 ft would be 3.8V. That means that charging rate would be 1,417w vs 1,394w, assuming all else equal. That's negligible, which suggests that one longer cord makes more sense, even...

    Extension cord - 25' vs 50'

    I am planning to pick up a 12 gauge extension cord for some destination trickle charging at 12A/120V. I dont know what the outlet situation will be at the destination this weekend or at other destinations in the future. I am debating whether to get one 50' cord, or both a 25' and a 50' cord...

    Wh/Mi info

    I'm trying to get a better sense of energy usage. A few questions-- I've previously read that the historical usage statistics on the Energy tab only tracks energy used to power the motors, but ignores energy used to power AC etc. Is this correct? If so, do the projections adjust over time on...

    Picked up MY today

    Thanks everyone for all the help on this board. Tesla messed up my loan paperwork, but I took it in stride after everything I've read here about their lack of organization in some respects. Everything worked out fine in the end. Delivery went well all in all. The car is amazing. I went...

    Touchless delivery questions

    So if you use touchless delivery, and you notice some issues that need fixing once you get home but before the 100 mi / 72 hour deadline, how do you get a "due bill" to get those things fixed?

    Price Adjustment Gone Awry

    I must be missing a couple brain cells -- I cannot find how to chat with a Tesla rep. Can someone provide the link?

    Price Adjustment Gone Awry

    I am scheduled for pickup this Saturday. Earlier this week, my contact at Tesla via text was kind enough to adjust the price to reflect the recent decrease. However, they also changed the loan amount so that it now equals the gross price of the car (around $61k). After trade in and $2500...

    Thank you both. Very helpful.

    Touchless delivery questions

    I have touchless delivery scheduled for this Saturday in Highland Park, IL. Tesla confirmed via text that they will update my pricing to reflect the price reduction, but other than that there's not a lot of info coming from Tesla. A few questions on the process: 1. Tesla originally connected...

    Plastidip 19" aero covers

    Has anyone tried plastidipping the covers on the 19" wheels? Curious how it comes out.

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior Waiting Room

    I hope not. I don't think the MY is being shipped overseas. Therefore, July deliveries should still all be for the U.S.

    SSupercharger - Milwaukee, WI (Showroom and Service)

    Per Google Maps, it looks like it might be open tomorrow. Where'd you pickup your Y? What build?

    MY Accessory List

    Now that MY have been out for some time, has anyone developed a good list of accessories to consider, as well as the better options for each particular item?

    Anyone not get the text blast yesterday?

    I decided to send a text to a Tesla number from which I previously received a text. I asked about delivery ETA. The response was very non-committal: "Currently right now we are more so of a step by step process with providing ETA's as we continue to recover from the pandemic." Translation...

    Anyone not get the text blast yesterday?

    Did other people not receive the text blast yesterday about 2-4 week or 10 day delivery/build estimates? I did not, but I don't know if others are in this boat with me....

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    Model Y Reservation Analysis (conjecture?)

    Here's a calculation of the number of Model Y pre-orders as of the end of last year (12/31/19). Let me know your thoughts. Footnote 11 to the financial statements in Tesla's 2019 10-K (released Feb 13, 2020) has the following information: "Customer deposits primarily consisted of cash payments...

    Deposits in Europe and China

    Do orders placed in Europe and China currently require a non-refundable order fee (like in the US)? Or is there a refundable deposit required at the time of order?

    Data on Cold Weather Range Decrease

    These are great. I'd love to see some more examples, and maybe I'll compile a spreadsheet. Thanks.

    Data on Cold Weather Range Decrease

    Is there any compiled data on range loss at various temperatures? I've read some horror stories about significant range loss when its cold, and I'm trying to understand what is normal. I'm waiting on my MY and want to better understand what the range limitations will be next winter for road...
