    For Sale 2023 Model Y Dual Motor LR (NJ)

    Bro is data-fenced to mid 2021 like ChatGPT and still thinks used Teslas are worth more than new ones GL trying to sell it, not even Carvana will take them now

    Free supercharging vs Full self driving (POLL)

    Would love to just travel around more (for free other than time, also have put more than 30k in the Y from long distance driving in less than 2 years), so definitely free supercharging over FSD, which may or may not even become fully capable for those who paid for it.

    FS: 2016 Model X 90D FREE Supercharging

    Would love it, but still overseas. Been promising my family we'd get another used X or S w/ free SC for summer road trips. Salivating everyday as used car prices go down, hopefully by the time I get back the used car market reckoning will have full effect.

    2021.44.30.6

    It's a "software issue"...yet already rolled out 2021.4.30.7 to fix the "software issue" that 2021.4.30.6 was supposed to fix umkay we'll be expecting .8 or .9+ after that too fix the hardware

    FSD Beta Attempts to Kill Me; Causes Accident

    If FSD ever comes out of BETA, the fine print will always be "Tesla is not at fault"

    Recent heat pump failures - software issue?

    I got a reply back from NHTSA requesting more information. Hopefully they get Tesla to finally fix it instead of the usual "software" excuse (2 years in a row)

    Possible to deactivate TACC and use "regular, dumb" cruise control? Phantom braking & unexpected slowdowns

    I had a visual+radar model 3 before I decided to sell it (in this idiotic used car market) and bought a visual only MY, what a big mistake. With a pure visual approach the car practically has near 0 depth perception and no 3d map of where things/cars are in position to the car. Cameras see a...

    “Dumb” cruise control?

    I have reported to NHTSA, hopefully many others do too It's unreal how unrefined a 50k+ car is with it's adaptive cruise control system can be(heck even AP has become annoying useless with phantom brake events since switching over to visual only from radar+vision) compared to adaptive cruise...

    Recent heat pump failures - software issue?

    Some things can't just be a "software" issue, when it's happened to last year's models and this year's models that were just recently delivered (mine is barely 4 month old). I get how some people are so into "OMFG, my car just got better with a OTA update", but I'd rather that if it's a...

    2021.44.30.6

    This OTA fix feels like Texas and it's winterization fix (say they'll do something then ignore the issue until their folks forget about it) Because it's happened last year and they sent a OTA fix, and yet my MY is only delivered for 4 months now and it has the issue with multitudes of...

    Model Y heat pump issues

    So, the "grill flap" excuse that seems to be going around, can someone explain why a car that's washed daily to get rid of snow/slush build up still get the fault and if it's a "grill flap" issue, then why does the fault go away after a restart of the car (because that's the only way I can...

    Model Y heat pump issues

    same thing (4th time now) where heat/ac fails and air is ice cold (in freezing midwest weather)...usually a stop to the side of the road and restart of the car will seem to unfault whatever faulted, but I get the feeling that in the long run (for a barely 4 month old car), a heat pump/ac system...

    FSD price increase on Jan 17

    until they can fix phantom braking on visual cruise control FSD will still just be a overpriced beta user ticket

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    so a passenger gets a dedicated button to change volume jokes on them my screen tilts and a passenger surely has no driving distraction to need a permanent volume control real estate on the screen heck passengers should be the one asking the driver to change the volume with the scroll or...

    Holiday Update (2021.44.25.2)- A Big Disappointment

    funny thing is WHY did Tesla make volume control a default appearance on lower of screen...WHEN you can control volume from the steering wheel? GG rest my case at how Tesla didn't really think anything through before burying more useful controls under menus and leaving other controls that have...

    Poll on V11 interface

    I wouldn't mind it so much, IF vision only AP and/or even cruise control wouldn't be so finicky but alas, vision only AP and cruise control (love those phantom braking on cruise control when a semi is passing by in oncoming lane) makes more interaction with the screen pretty dangerous while driving

    This new UI sucks

    voice is a hit or miss, even google still has issues even though it has much much better and more complicated voice interactions and I hate speaking to inanimate programming that get things wrong at least 25% of the time or pick up every noise as some kind of command.
  18. s33t33

    This new UI sucks

    I tried to love it too, I even told myself that I'll get used to where the items have been moved (glovebox eluded me for a moment), etc... but lost patience when I'm driving and I want to turn on/off something "essential" that used to be a look and touch action (that peripheral vision was...

    Sorry, I actually like the new UI :)

    definitely fanboygasming 0 mention of how much better anything is other than purtier icons, so it's awesome While tesla has hidden most useful every day controls behind 2 layers of touch and eye coordination -window defog/defrost (if seat heaters are permanent on home screen...window...

    This new UI sucks

    also, forgot to add, that switching "user/driver" setting got tucked away too and adding on (since it's winter and even in humid weather)...window defroster and defogger SHOULDN'T BE TUCKED AWAY in AC controls (rear window defroster usually turns off after some time, so the icon being where you...

    Mother of God! Have you seen the prices on Carvana?

    I just sold a 1 month old hyundai that I bought as a beater commuter to carvana for 3.5k over what I bought it from the dealer...(18k OTD, drove it for work for a month and put 3k miles on it, then sold it to Carvana for 21.5k) this is some zillow level scary sh!t for whoever has stocks in...

    This new UI sucks

    The only thing I like is colored icons I hate this new UI -You'd have to honk to save dash cam (or go through opening the car settings to hit the recording), there's a lot of instances where I just want to save some footage without having to do some random honking...bring back dash cam saving...

    Vision Only vs Radar - Observations from a 3 year owner

    vision only AP is unusable at night now, as it requires hi-beams AND it'll still freakout/brake when oncoming headlights (not even on hi-beams) blind it

    Midwest Waiting Room

    I get that going through Tesla Financing makes everything more centralized...but there are better deals out there (for us folks that don't reside in the Tesla-friendly states AND the confirmed rumor that Tesla doesn't rate match anymore) With all the resources online, I was able to open a DCU...

    Midwest Waiting Room

    Funny, last year when I took delivery of my M3 in Chicago, Tesla said I couldn't finance through them because it's based on state of residence and not where you take delivery. Maybe things changed? Currently going through DCU for my MY soon to be delivered mid Oct (got my MVPA 2 days ago)...
  26. s33t33

    Mother of God! Have you seen the prices on Carvana?

    not just Teslas...everything going up (heck carvana is quoting my 5 year old used minivan a few thousand under when I bought it new)

    Midwest Waiting Room

    I couldn't pick up mine last month in Chicago, beginning of Sept. since I was in Texas on a trip, but good to see that my new EDD is 10/8 to 10/22...so I guess it may not be much of a loss (6/16 order) and grats to whoever got the early pick up (of mine last month in Chicago Highland Park)...

    Midwest Waiting Room

    I put in an order for a 7-seat white/white + tow package on June19th (to replace the van life), initial EDD was end of August, then went to September, now showing October...(pickup Chi-town) But no fear, I'm actually hoping it gets pushed back again and I get the new updated battery pack that...

    Wiki Teslike Model Y Survey & Order Tracker Spreadsheet

    looks like my mid-June order's delivery estimate has been pushed to October (today), yesterday when I checked it was showing beginning of September (and when I put in the order back in June it was supposed to be end of August for delivery) But I don't mind the wait, I'm hoping that my Y gets...

    LR DW in the snow

    Finally got some good snow to test winter snow storm'ish driving conditions for 2020 LR DM (no snow tires, just new-ish 4k miles so far all season tires that came with the car) It was a very good experience compared to my other FWD cars, I never really lost much traction (doing mostly 50-60mph...

    FSD - 2k Price Jump 10.26.20

    Still "BETA", so no, not worth it I'm perfectly fine with my standard AP for highway driving, and could care less for having my car being able to chauffeur me around in town in beta stay alert and alive mode

    When I think about it more, a refreshed SR+ would make a great turo car

    New configurator up. LR now 353 miles and Perf has Y wheels

    It looks like we might already have the 4.2sec 0 to 60 per AB is now stated to reduce 0-60 time from 4.2 to 3.7 sec in the app, so unless the heat pump really affects efficiency that much or they put in a bigger battery pack or better inverters/electronics or drastically reduced weight...we...

    Model 3 trade in.

    but out of Tesla or Carvana, who else (private buyer wise) is going to pay KBB's ridiculous price for a used model 3, when they can buy the newer and better one for cheaper (even if yours have FSD, it's still not worth it)?
  35. s33t33

    New configurator up. LR now 353 miles and Perf has Y wheels

    will...I guess hopefully us Q3 and older buyers get a OTA to improve power and range a bit... I was going to buy AB for my LR, but now I don't know if I want to.

    Autopilot cameras unavailable?

    Same issue for past few days now. Looks like a bad driver side camera since dash cam doesn't have it recording. 2 issues so far (front passenger door has popping noise on opening or closing) for a new 50k+ car, and Elong's teasing FSD when there's quite a few with camera issues... Only thing...

    If you had to do it again, would anyone NOT get the white interior?

    No, because even if I bought the white interior, I would've bought seat covers to cover and protect them I had some really nice clazzio leather seat covers for my last car...was kind of sad that clazzio doesn't do Tesla's yet, so I just bought some 90$ ebay leather seat covers, doesn't look...

    So easy/fun to speed

    So I was getting on the highway at those perpendicular stop sign merges behind a Lexus IS350 F-sport earlier today and was it fun handing a ass whooping to the more expensive car as it tried really hard to get me from not passing it... Had to change over to the right and abide speed limit after...

    Supercharger not charging to set limit

    oh my bad, let me rephrase my sarcasm unless you need it above 80% (maybe 81%+) so you can reach the next destination charger then there's really no benefit to stay longer at the SC and hold everyone else up there you go honey

    Model 3 Insurance Range and Companies

    I don't know yet, since I just got my LR AWD for 2 weeks and depends on your definition of difficult. I'm coming from a prius c (FWD) and a odyssey (FWD too) and have never seen the need for winter tires (in the past 6 or so years since I've lived in WI), so I'm sure with the LR being AWD, it...

    Supercharger not charging to set limit

    The charge rate drops off after 80% anyway (to protect your battery), so unless you really need your car to hit 100% so you can reach your next SC destination, then the charge rate vs time you will be stuck at the SC isn't beneficial to you or others waiting behind you (if the SC is busy)

    Do I need a 50amp outlet? SR+

    It depends if the house's panel needs upgrading for the higher amp or not as well (your $20-50 cost difference is misleading) Other than that, the charge rate difference between a 14-50 and 14-30 is not that significant as upgrading from 120v 15amp I currently use my 14-30 (240v 24amp draw...

    Getting pissed with degredation

    Most mfgs getting the flawed EPA test rating for their car... "guys we'll have to lower this # so customers can hit it without too much effort" Tesla getting the flawed EPA test rating "cha-ching" Take it as whatever you want, seeing your view is unchangeable. Like I said, it's MUCH easier...

    So I just got back from my usual 220mile round trip commute that I do around once a month (weekend warrior).

    Getting pissed with degredation

    Yes it's down to how you drive the car, but like I'm saying they're overpromising in the sense that the EPA testing is flawed, yet they still went by it's #s. I have to actually drive my LR AWD efficiently if I want the rated mileage (which is really really really hard, seeing how much...
  47. s33t33

    Getting pissed with degredation

    I think I can relate to some people talking about how they might have battery degradation because of how the computer calculates range left depending on how the car is driven. Coming from a Prius, I think it's not battery degradation, but how the EPA rating for a Tesla is kind of overpromising...

    Scratches under rear wheel wells

    I took delivery of my 3 for a few days now and saw these deep scratches/gouges while installing mud flaps. No, I haven't ran off a curb or into potholes. They're on both sides and it's much deeper on driver side. I'm assuming damage from loading/offloading during shipping. Don't know if...

    Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

    Got my 3 for last few days and when I was installing mud flaps, I noticed that there are some deep scratches/gauge in the plastic underside right after the rear bumper (looks like no other damage), which I think may be from it getting loaded/unloaded during shipping. Don't even know if it's...

    Regen Braking <3

    The Prius's don't use a traditional ICE transmission, so yes, it's safe (some people explain about it on youtube) And since the Prius C's shifter stick is like and positioned where a traditional ICE car is, it's just a natural spot to rest your non-driving hand (if you've ever driven stick)
