    This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

    My experience pretty much mirrors yours. Won’t be paying for it after the trial.

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    What do you think is causing the limited tow capability of the new Cybertruck?

    The Rivian is a much smaller vehicle. It’s actually smaller than a ½ ton pickup.

    Am I the only one bothered by this?

    I came across an article about car manufacturers selling anything and everything they can get from your cars data stream. Tesla got the worst ranking but every car manufacturer is doing this except cars sold in Europe where they actually have privacy laws. Tesla is only the second product we...

    December deliveries

    Does anyone have any info on how many CT’s Tesla plans to deliver in Dec?

    Cybertruck launch

    **c I am told they also used a base 911 Porsche. I think it’s about 350HP. It’s not a car for acceleration records. Put them both on a track and the Cyber truck would be left far behind.

    Sad about Plaid? Attention past or present Porsche 911 Owners!

    I have a model Y performance. Great car and our daily driver. I have also had 3 911’s over the last 12 years. Currently hav a 2013 911S cab. I bought all 3 used and had zero depreciation When the first two were sold. Maintenance, knock on wood has been a 220 dollar oil change once a year. All in...

    Release of Cybertruck November 30 is now stated

    I find it odd that no one seems to actually care how far off the CT is from all the promises. Not just off but way off!!

    Cybertruck launch

    So the cyber truck is 50% over the promised price, has 32% less than the promised range and tows 20% less than promised. Am I missing anything? Maybe the Hollywood show was to distract everyone from the facts.

    "No Reseller" clause for Cybertruck

    Plaid owners ... let me know ... please

    If handling is truly the priority you need to look at non Tesla options. None of the Tesla’s have great handling and the Plaid models are horrible under braked.

    So how do you finance? Hi, I would like a vehicle loan. We can help Mr Smith. How much is the vehicle? Well, somewhere between 50,000 and 150,000. Not sure yet!

    Are the Cybertruck's looks growing on you?

    You just can’t fix ugly! The Pontiac Aztec is however now breathing a sigh of relief! The performance and build quality plus price are all going to need to be excellent to offset the extreme ugly!

    HV battery change in 7 hours!

    Reworked battery seems to have added a bit of range. Now showing 284 at 100%. Old battery was about 265. Happy overall. Just did a 210 mile round trip to the mountains. Started with 84% and ended with 9%. 4000 foot elevation gain going up and sat overnight in 30 degree temps. Mostly driving with...

    Thoughts on current available 40amp mobile charging units

    I don’t know what speed you tow at. If you have 150 miles usable range I suspect you are staying below 60 mph. I have towed a 9000 lb load with a F150 at 65 to 70. We got 11 mpg with a 23 gallon fuel tank. I routinely tow a 5500 lb boat with a BMW X5 and get 14 MPG with a 21 gallon tank. That...

    HV battery change in 7 hours!

    I did not ask but they have to match a rebuilt battery in both configuration and mileage. I assume that Tesla used batteries with some differences. Gained a bit of displayed mileage so happy with that.

    HV battery change in 7 hours!

    They changed the battery. He said they had the proper configuration in stock and the swap takes 5 to 6 hours. There are so many battery configurations tgat he said tgey tell everyone two weeks in case they have to order.

    HV battery change in 7 hours!

    I got the dreaded range reduced battery issue code and scheduled a service visit. On arrival they handed me a loaner and said it would need a battery replacement. Estimate was 2 weeks. Notified at 5:45 pm battery change complete and car ready for pickup! Is this some kind of record or the norm...

    TuneIn hacked my credit card

    Tesla is a absolutely involved in this and needs to get that QR codes out of the cars ASAP. They are providing a link to a fraudulent website. They have been made aware of that fact. They can fix it or any court will hold them liable for damages.

    " The current price for a Y performance is only a few dollars cheaper than I paid in 2021. Let’s not use the price cut to justify the poor resale compared to ICE vehicles.

    Rolling Resale Value Thread

    I guess if it’s the new norm for Tesla it’s pretty good. Almost every other two year old car is holding value much better. It certainly should be a purchase consideration. 10K buys a lot of gas!

    Rolling Resale Value Thread

    I have not been following the Tesla used market much lately. Decided to take a look at trading my 2 year old Y performance for a model X. I was a bit surprised to find the resale value has cratered. The car is worth about 60% of what I paid for it. My 2 year old BMW X5 is worth 80%. I realize...

    Tesla approved Collision centers in and around Charlotte NC

    “Dumb” cruise control?

    Mine does both things the one poster mentioned. It phantom breaks on two lane roads and hugs the centerline. In addition it often drops its speed limit on Interstate 77 to 55 MpH and rapidly slows despite there being no change in the actual limit.

    Autailer mats for 2022

    My mom wants to use the same Autailer mats that I have. Her model Y is a 2022 and Autailers website states the mats designed for June 2021 and later builds won’t fit the 2022 Y. Other manufacturers don’t state that. Anyone know what the changes might be if any at all?

    Phone key issue

    Kind of basic but the app has to be running open or in the background for the key to work. If you shut your phone down or closed out the app it will not work.

    Take your time with your acceptance inspection (photos)

    If however you wait to pay until acceptance you keep your money until the next car arrives. You could also elect not to purchase a Tesla and your out only 100.00. Based on nightmares posted here about getting refunds ect. From Tesla I would not pay until acceptance.

    Had an accident..

    I doubt visibility was a issue. I looked up the stopping distance from 40 MPH and it’s about 70 feet. From 60 it’s only 118 feet. I really saw no evidence in the video of hard braking at all until just prior to curb impact. It almost looks like the OP planned to just pass her in the right lane...

    Had an accident..

    I watched the video multiple times. There is no doubt that from 40MPH and even 50 there was plenty of time to stop. Stopping distance ftom 40MPH should be under 100 feet. The woman enters his side of the road with him at least 200 feet away. Having said that she is still certainly at fault. The...

    Don't keep the Tesla app on your phone open.

    My car will not open away from home without the app running in the background. At home I have the car set to not lock so off course it opens. It won’t however start unless the app is open or running in the background. Tesla confirmed this is required.

    Hard braking for no reason

    My Mar 2021 build phantom brakes on Interstate 77 often. The displayed speed drops from whatever I have set to 50 MPH. I was nearly rear ended yesterday. I am guessing this has happened a dozen times. I saw something about sending a report to Tesla but can’t figure out how. Anyone know?

    Airport 10%+ drain daily!

    My Model Y sees only about a 1% drop per day. You need to turn sentry mode off. Also make sure you don’t have any third party software keeping the car awake.

    Blog Report: Ford Doubles Production Target for F-150 Lightning

    When you discuss towing range for the F150 lightning keep in mind the Tesla is a very efficient vehicle that gets its range in part ftom excellent aerodynamics. One reason range drops so fast while towing is the dramatic increase in aero drag. The F150 on the other hand starts out as a barn door...

    There are no words - Irresponsible driver crashes Model Y into building

    Law suit to follow, Tesla willfully put sales ahead of safety and allowed my client a test drive who was clearly not qualified to drive the car unsupervised resulting in a accident that has caused my client to have PTSD among other medical issues. We are suing for 10 million dollars and a model...
