    2017 Model S or 2018 Model 3?

    I just posted about this in a similar thread. I like the look of the S but I’d choose a 2018 in a heartbeat. We have a 2022 rwd 3, 2019 100D and 2024 X LR all purchased new. Model 3 pros over 75D: 1 pedal driving Much more efficient Better tech and faster computer (screen) Faster charging...

    I've always wanted a Model S.

    We’ve purchased a 2019 100D new (inventory), 2022 model 3 RWD custom, 2024 model X LR custom, and have driven an older loaner performance model 3 for two weeks and now a model Y 2020 from Enterprise for the past month. We have family members with 3/Y’s and my old neighbor is an an engineer for...

    Refresh S/X instrument cluster customization discussion

    Yes but navigation and speedometer are the only options you have on the instrument cluster. Nav is on the big screen as well.

    Refresh S/X instrument cluster customization discussion

    Our new X LR has been in the body shop for the past few weeks so I've been driving the [Legacy] 2019 MS a lot more. The more I drive it, the more I long for the old instrument cluster customization options (especially the energy graph and tire pressure). Does anyone else here eagerly wait for...

    Likelihood of increased accidents due to the stupid horn?

    Yeah thanks. The horn button is fine for most driver alert applications, just not emergency situations... Which I suppose is the very purpose of a horn. Sigh.

    Likelihood of increased accidents due to the stupid horn?

    This happened to me last week. We live on a narrow hill and the car ahead of me decided to reverse right into my car in order to let an oncoming truck pass. 15 feet away I assumed driver would notice my car at some point and stop. I didn't feel it was necessary to immediately honk at my...

    2017 Model X vs 2023 Model X

    Have been using the new fob for a while and you just have to double tap the top.

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    So it’s been a few weeks since I posted this and I have a few updates on what I think of the car. We’re giving our 2022 model 3 lfp away to my parents so there are some things that I’ll miss about the 3/Y design. refresh X vs. 3/Y seats (update): While the seats in the X are still...

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    Mostly quirks about the touch button haptics. The turn signals don’t always work when I try to press it while turning the wheel and sometimes I have to press it multiple times.

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    The handling is substantially better on the S I'm noticing a few more flaws and quirks on week 3 which I expected would happen. Are you coming from an older S/X as well?

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    I completely agree with every statement Carsly2. I still love my non-performance S and it feels even zippier and more nimble after driving the X haha. Say, do you ever miss the X windshield now that you're in the S? I was driving in downtown LA the other day and it was quite enjoyable driving in...

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    In that case I would just override the selection by swiping up to go forward or select the D on the digital gear selector. It’s not perfect but works most of the time.

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    We have a standard chaimberlain garage door. I’m not sure which model it is.

    2017 Model X vs 2023 Model X

    Good read and I mostly agree with what others have said. Coming from a 2019 pre-raven S, I too prefer the vertical screen and USS front doors for summon but every time I hop in it just feels old, slow and outdated. Also, I can't directly compare the old and new model X headlights but the new...

    First Impressions 2023 Model X LR

    We recently took delivery of a 2023 Model X LR 7 seater and here are my first impressions so far after 1 week of use including a 200 mi round trip in Southern California. I'll preface this by saying this is our third Tesla (currently own a '19 MS 100D and '22 3 Standard LFP) and that purchasing...

    180 kW peak at L3 Supercharger 100D

    I was pretty surprised to see my 100D peak at 180 kW and stay above 90 kW after 200 miles of charge. Not that impressive for 2020 S owners but just thought I’d share. :)

    Costco or Tesla Mobile Service for replacement tires

    I just got my first flat tire today from a nail on the highway. I reached out to Tesla roadside and they were quick to respond and will be providing a loaner wheel while they determine if the damaged tire can be patched or needs to be replaced. I needed to get my tires replaced soon anyways...

    Legacy S owners, how many are upgrading to new LR or Plaid?

    Yup I would do it in a heartbeat. More model S’a than Camry’s in my neighborhood.
  28. Bixby MS

    Legacy S owners, how many are upgrading to new LR or Plaid?

    2018 100D with sunroof and lifetime supercharging. LR/Plaid interior refresh is striking but for $95K I’d rather ball out with a Taycan if I’m looking to upgrade and have something special on the road.

    What's your S 100D range at 80%?

    I saw this question from a 75D owner. Asking the same thing for all S 100D owners out there. 2018 (Dec) 100D w/ 28K miles. 80% SOC - 250 Miles

    2022 LFP battery on Low SOC

    Tesla's recommendation of charging an LFP-based Model 3 to 100% and improved battery degradation in LFP batteries were the reasons why we changed our order from a LR to RWD. We own a pre-raven 2019 Model S that went from 335 miles to around 315 miles when fully charged, so I'm currently getting...

    Cancelled Y Reservation for S Long Range

    That’s great. I love the layout of the Y, it feels so open. I love the S, it’s comfortable and I like the trunk space. My mother in law has the 3, it’s a fun car as well. To each their own.

    Phantom breaking getting worse on 2020.36.3.1

    2018 S 100D EAP 2020.36.3.1 MCU2 HW 2.5 My wife and I just came back from another SF-LA road trip and the phantom breaking was getting out of hand. I try to manage my expectations when using nav on AP for long road trips and anticipate phantom breaking when the car detects shadows or...

    Increase in phantom braking past 2 weeks?

    36.3.1 Hey OP, yes I just came back from another SF-LA road trip and experienced three pretty aggressive phantom breaking incidents. First two were at night with perfect line markings, only one car in the right lane as I was going 70 in the middle lane. No shadows or overpass, just changing...

    Suspension changes displayed on Instrument Cluster

    A few days ago I noticed a display notification on my instrument cluster in green that my suspension had either raised or lowered (one or the other). I don’t remember seeing this notification in the past and I haven’t had a software update since last month (2020.28.5). Today, I tried to manually...

    Land Ends Merge Left/Right

    Overall, I’ve been pretty pleased with NoAP and the lane-keep assistance functionality of EAP in general, however there are a few areas that I feel could use some fine tuning, especially on longer road trips such as how the AP system handles merging lanes on the highway (not to be confused with...

    Question on 2018 Model S differences between months

    @DadtoTwo It looks like you’ve already done your due diligence regarding the hardware (MCU/AP) differences between the 2018 100D made before and after 3/18. I have a Nov 2018 100D and to my knowledge, the 4/18 and 9/18 builds have identical hardware. If by software you mean software versions...
