Tesla need to make service as important as engineering. I cannot understand why the want people to leave their cars when they know they cant do the work for days. Surely it just adds to the chaos in the service center when they many times more cars in there than they are actually working on.

If autopilot would at least allow a manual lane change when you signal and then continue in the new lane, I would actually use it. I find it easier to just drive manually than constantly overide ut then re-engage. Most other lane keeping + cruise control allow that. I only use it on long haul...

I have these and they look great autailors custom fit all weather floor mats

My guess would be the Police would need to do it. Surely they would need a warrant for Tesla to be able to release any information about another car.

I have experienced this a couple of times, it has always been the phone that is the problem. First thing to try is reboot phone

100% activate the PIN to drive feature, so if you ever do leave a keycard in there it still could not be driven away. PIN entry on the glovebox too!

It really isnt much work, it's going to take about 5 minutes to hide a battery, and a lot of people already own battery power packs as it is way more convenient than having to ask a stranger. You can buy them at costco for less than $100. Living in Vegas, the desert heat ruins lead-acid...

This seems to be the best strategy. 1. Hide a 12v A23 battery behind the tow access cover, so you can open the frunk if your car's 12v is dead. 2. Keep a battery jump starter in the frunk, to allow you to start the car and drive to a service center,

One thing I haven't seen mentioned, and competitors are already doing, is the ability to use the car to charge other cars and power devices that require more power than a USB.

I still havent experienced this, I guess it may be living in the desert, the dry air means the AC dries out fast enough to not cause a problem.

It is pretty pathetic that this has been an issue for so long. I just cannot understand why Tesla hasnt fixed it. I am beginning to think they are burning almost all of the development resources on FSD, and neglecting the rest of the software. If they are not careful the Android Automotive will...

It would be unwise to base any decisions that depend on anything being passed by congress

For owners that bought prior to the official change, my guess is that Tesla will not be able to remove radar, a class action suit would be guaranteed.

I would think that would leave tesla vulnerable to a class action suit. The new owners have to agree to the lack of radar if they ordered before the change.

Exactly. I understand the point that vision is more detailed than radar. But what I dont get is the lack of a failsafe for basic safety features like emergency braking, when a camera system is so easily disabled. I live in sunny vegas, and regularly see the Camera is Blinded message. I wonder...

I have a suspicion that this may be a problem for Tesla. The problem is a camera can be easily blinded, thereby redering a critical safety feature useless. Sure they can give us a warning that said critical safety features arent working, but that's the issue; are you supposed to immediately pull...

I have the center console shell from Abstract Ocean in white, and it looks exactly the same as the white dash. The only small downside is the weight prevents the phone cover from raising by itself, you have to lift it.

I also park in a tight garage, and here is what I do. Set the mode to Creep, it is WAY less stressful to control the car using the brake vs the accelerator. You still virtually have 1 pedal driving, the car slows down in exactly the same way except for the the final 1mph. Then you tap the brake...

I have high quality 35% ceramic tint on all windows and sunroof, and air70 on the windshield. With that I havent found a need to also use a sun shade.

In LA, the heat pump will make almost no difference. You can buy wireless charger accessories. You can have a after-market power trunk and frunk fitted if you really want it. None of those seem like a good reason to switch...

Another disadvantage is if you do get a flat and drive on the runflat, it is not recommended to repair it, so new tires...

Unfortunately they are correct. The Tesla maps are really Google maps, and there is nothing the service center would be able to do about it.

In what way do you think it is advantageous? I struggle to think of anything

It's pretty normal for these kickstarters to have long delays. I backed this one on indiegogo, my assumption is there is a risk the company fails and I lose my money, and an absolute certainty that thif they are successful it will take them much longer than they first thought. Just have...

Just sell it, tesla used values are pretty good. I am from the UK and also lived in Spain for a while so I am very used to driving on both sides of the road. You really want to have the steering on the correct side of the car, overtaking is literally dangerous on a undivided road due to the poor...

I believe they dropped homelink due to the growth of smart garage door openers, lots of people just dont need it so its better to be an option and make the car slightly cheaper. I also think that a 360 view is possible with the current cameras, and will be added in a future update.

I agree I dont like the new black trim, for me the best looking is either chrome or the same color as the rest of the car. Black just looks like cheap plastic...

Interesting idea if you dont like having glass roof. I would not do this for the heat though, top quality ceramic tint on all of the glass takes care of that.

Once you get the accelleration bost, the LR is very fast, the 0-60 (1ft roll out) is 3.5secs. At higher speeds the cars performance gets even closer to the performance. Your main decision points are these, Cost - the extra on the initial price + you will need to get winter tires and wheels. If...

I have my car set to Creep, mainly as I have to park daily into a tight garage spot. It is so much easier to inch into tight spots when controlling the car with the brake pedal.

One of the biggest differences is the wheels, mostly on ride comfort. If you value a more comfortable ride go for the LR, you can also get the acceleration boost bringing your 0-60 (with rollout) down to 3.5 secs. Trust me, the LR with AB is already fast as hell and capable of smoking most cars...

See if you can find a nema 5-20 outlet - google it if you dont know what it looks like, it looks like a regular outlet but has an extra horizontal notch. This improves your charging speed enough for it to be perfectly acceptable unless you are driving a lot of miles. You can buy a nema 5-20...

I tinted ceramic 35% on sides, rear and sun roof, and air70 on the windshield. I would highly recommend, doesnt get hot in the car even in the desert summer sun.

I got these all-weather floormats and they look amazing autailors custom fit all weather floor mats | Autailors I also love the blue footwell lights and brighter trunk lights. They are easy to install. Also the M3 performance aluminum pedals... Model 3

Here is what I have done. First, think about how much you will normally be driving. On a normal day I drive about 50 miles, the most I will drive would be 100 miles (not including any long trips out of town) Then think about how long your car is normally in the garage and will be plugged in. I...

Suggestion for Tesla, put wifi at every supercharger....

I had a similar incident, though less damage. Tesla body shop estimated approx $2000 based on photo, and wanted to keep the car for 2 weeks. I had a local private tesla workshop take a look, and they fixed it up by touching up the paint damage on the bumper, and PDR the quarter panel. It isnt...

Amica added under $200 to mine, the M3 was replacing a 2012 Jetta!

I did buy the acceleration boost as a compromise for not getting the M3 performance. I wanted the nicer ride of the 18" wheels, and the boost gets you pretty close to the M3P. I would not pay even $8k for FSD though, let alone $10k. IMHO it is far too much for what it can do, with no guarantee...

For paint, I like the red, blue, and white, they all look really nice. I went for white mainly because I live in Vegas and it helps a bit with heat, and it was free. The white interior is really nice though, you can also buy a ceramic coating for it if you have any concerns about stains. I would...

If you want all-weather floormats that are a bit different, check out autailers.com I have these in my model 3 and they look amazing. Autailors

I went for the model 3. It is better car in terms of performance, handling, and looks (it is marginal though, the Y is also an awesome car). There is a decent amount of storage space in the 3. I also could not fit the model Y into the space I have in my garage, and I dont really need that much...

Just lift the wireless charging pad (it is on a hinge), you will find the wireless charger is plugged into the usb-c on the left. plug your micro-sd adapter into the usb-a on the right

The ID3 looks like a pretty decent car, the main criticisms look like cheap interior finish. I dont think it is directly comparable to a model 3 though, the only reason people are is because there are still so few EVs around. The ID3 is a small european style hatchback, so compare it to a Golf...

Anyone who ordered earlier in quarter 3 can attest, there were zero inventory cars until the last week or so. Anything now in inventory must have been made in the last couple of weeks.

I live in the heat of Vegas where 12v batteries fail without warning in any car. I intend to replace the 12v every 2 years, and wouldn't expect it to last more than about 3 years anyway.

It's hard to describe how awesome this car is. The tech, the minimalist interior, and holy crap the speed and responsiveness. So.Much.Fun

My vin was only visible after I received the 'your model 3 will start moving towards the las vegas delivery center soon' message. Delivery was 4 days after that

I only called in to book an appointment on the day I picked up. There is the potential of having a paint issue that would mean you need Tesla to address it before you could get the PPF. The PPF takes the whole day to do, so they will want an appointment made and possibly a deposit, as you will...
