    New FSD beta testers (June 2022) - First experiences

    Hey all, I got FSD Beta on June 7th (finally!). I have to say that there are several ways that FSD Beta does not do well here in Minneapolis. 1) There are a lot of onramps/offramps with short but wide merging areas and FSD does NOT like them at all, intervention every time. 2) We have...

    Hi from Minneapolis, ask me your cold-weather EV questions!

    Hey Thanks ! We get very similar weather to Minot, fair bit of sub-zero every winter, sometimes we go a month below freezing. If he's got a garage or a plug available it's super easy. Honestly it runs as well or better than any gas-powered car I've had. At 0F you do lose about 25-30% of range...

    Rock chip in glass today

    Mine is moving along quickly. After checking with the local windshield glass repair company they redirected me back to Tesla, and tomorrow it'll get replaced if all goes according to plan. I'll end up paying Tesla and being reimbursed from insurance. Total cost of around $1200. I can't speak to...

    Hi from Minneapolis, ask me your cold-weather EV questions!

    Hey Ludedude, I think if you got the chance to drive both it might be an easy decision for you. They're very similar cars in a lot of ways but the big difference of course is that the Y does have a lot more room inside. I rented one on a trip recently and I was really surprised at how roomy it...

    Charging during cold months

    I'm guessing that by now you already know that you can drive off in your freezing cold MY, and it will warm up as it can! I've hopped in my M3 at around -15F when I forgot to precondition, and while it's not as pleasant as when warmed, but everything works, and honestly it works better than a...

    Hi from Minneapolis, ask me your cold-weather EV questions!

    Hey everyone, I'm Greg from Minneapolis. I bought my Model 3 Performance (Midnight Silver Metallic, black interior) back in late 2019, it is considered an early 2020 model. I only wish I had invested in Tesla back when I bought my car! This is still my favorite car I've ever owned, and I fully...

    Rock chip in glass today

    Well, I got a rock chip in my glass today driving down the freeway. Already checked and it's 100% covered by insurance. If you've had your windshield replaced were there any issues? For instance, I couldn't tell at-a-glance if the camera assembly is attached to the glass or just to the car. I...

    FSD Beta 10.12

    I finally got FSD Beta on June 7th (10.12.2) and I have to say I'm surprised at how poorly it does on Minneapolis streets. In the areas around my neighborhood I am lucky to make it a single block without an intervention, some serious. I took a 140 mile drive yesterday and it did a lot better on...

    FSD Beta and Dashcam Clips

    For what it's worth, I "used up" a couple of USB thumb drives before I switched to a USB solid-state disk which apparently can be written to many more times before giving up.
