    2022 MY performance for sale. Fort Myers FL

    can't transfer the reservation directly from Tesla. Tesla has even canceled orders of people who have tried to do this. Even though Teslas are selling for higher than the original value, I haven't seen any go for that much above the Telsa price. On top of that, it's the top trim model y...

    Model S nearly caught fire--should I be upset?

    I might be taking the unpopular opinion here but I don't think this is Tesla's responsibility to cover the cost. I think that it's not unreasonable to ask and as a gesture of goodwill, they could definitely do those repairs; but on the subject of responsibility, I don't think it's theirs. A...

    Mobile Connector no longer included with new cars [posted 04/16/2022 - Tesla confirms adapter included with cars ordered before 04/17/22]

    You really must have trouble reading. I put one short sentence about being disappointed that they aren't giving the mobile connector because I would like one. I then went on for multiple paragraphs on how i don't actually need one and it's reasonable to believe that many others probably don't...

    Mobile Connector no longer included with new cars [posted 04/16/2022 - Tesla confirms adapter included with cars ordered before 04/17/22]

    My entire post is about not really needing it. You took one sentence out of a long post and just assumed the entire post was about that. I WANT the mobile connector and then I talked about how I and many others don't really NEED it. Learn to read.

    Mobile Connector no longer included with new cars [posted 04/16/2022 - Tesla confirms adapter included with cars ordered before 04/17/22]

    A big part of me is upset because I want the mobile connector. However I do also have to realize that despite wanting it a lot myself...I won't have my model 3 until may-june when it is delivered and I already have set up accounts for EV charging companies and I already installed the Tesla wall...

    Why pay for PPF & ceramic coating when you can just repaint?

    For me I don't really want to drop a large amount of money on a car that, while amazing, isn't really the kind of car PPF was made for. People on here have said time and time again; PPF was made for cars that cost as much as a model 3 just to paint it. So really I would ask if the original...

    Don't Count on Tesla Roadside Assistance

    Tesla didn't have a spare, it happens. I've been to a coffee shop once in my life that actually ran out of coffee, i've been to a subway that ran out of bread, i've been to many stores throughout the years that have run out of something important. This however...is running out of loaner tires...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    I don't recall anytime i've updated any device to be told that the system might become slower. This isn't something that any company that I know of has ever put as some warning before clicking the update button for any product. I'm not saying don't be upset or annoyed, *sugar* sucks, the world...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    It was stated in this post that the update in question was optional. Also no one is saying that replacing the car is necessary, just the MCU hardware. Also even a computer doesn't NEED to be replaced after 5-6 years, if someone takes it to a computer shop or is good with computers...

    Model Y 2021 Purchase

    Honestly I disagree with the post. No 14-50 adapter to me is fine because I understand that lots of people have different charging methods. I don't need it and my friends that have Teslas don't need it; we bought wall connectors. Sure, not everyone gets the wall connector and some will...

    Canada - Looking to buy a Model 3 reservation.

    i'm a little late to reply but Tesla doesn't allow this. There was just a post recently about someone who bought an account that someone had not even put in their information into the app, but when the new person did, Tesla Canceled the reservation because the new information didn't match the...

    Tesla cancelled reservation that I bought from a person

    Thank god Tesla is on top of this. No offense for OP, but I don't see why someone should be able to buy someone elses reservation and jump infront of me in line. I'm especially happy to hear this because I preordered my Cybertruck a long long time ago but i'm still not even in the first...

    My $250 deposit [why can I not get my deposit back?]

    pretty much everyone here sided with Tesla because it's a very obvious non refundable fee, also an obvious estimate. I still don't know why you think that because Tesla wasn't 100% accurate with their ESTIMATE, that they should give you back the non refundable fee. Actually let me use your...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    Of course not forever, but it is nice to know that keeping a Tesla feeling like new is definitely possible for a long time with upgrades, which could be easier than switching to a new car. Also while I do believe that there might have been another issue for the person who started this threat, I...

    10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

    I kind of see Tesla's point here. While it is a car and not just a computer, something we buy and hope to drive for a very very long time, it is also now a computer. If I bought a computer 7 years ago and keep updating it, I understand it needs more and more upgrades to keep it current. An...

    Bad Service Center Experience

    Yeah I am not going to read through every post. I'm simply giving my opinion and experience on the matter. Simple solution, if they are refusing to even take your money to look into it, which i'm going to side with Tesla on this one since there is no way to actually get their side of the...

    Bad Service Center Experience

    So you are saying you aren't someone expecting them to fix it for free, just under warranty, which you are saying it is under warranty, so you are asking for them to do this work for free. All i'm saying is that if the problem can be recreated, they will fix it and if it's under warranty, it...

    Bad Service Center Experience

    So speaking as someone that has worked in shops and have tons of friends who became licensed mechanics. What do you expect them to do if you can't replicate the rattle? Do you honestly expect any company to just randomly take things apart looking for something that might be causing a rattle...

    At Home Charging costs vs. Superchargers

    It's almost certainly going to be cheaper to charge at home than a supercharger, the amount will vary depending on your specific electrical rates. The important thing to most people isn't the couple dollars saved doing home over supercharging, but the time saved and the convienence. I don't...

    My $250 deposit [why can I not get my deposit back?]

    But there is no evidence of it being 'indefinitely delayed' or even actually delayed at all. Yes the estimated date was pushed back to May and it's even likely from what i've read on other threads that it would probably be pushed back, but the original estimated date was March and they canceled...

    My $250 deposit [why can I not get my deposit back?]

    Supply chain issues have been going on for quite a while and have been somewhat unpredictable. While i'm sure Tesla is doing their best to meet the estimated delivery dates, it's really not possibly for them to know what will happen. Personally if I absolutely needed a car with no downtime...

    Walk Away Door Lock - Helpful or Hurtful?

    How would a keypad be more advanced than me walking up to my car and simply getting in? Also i'm still waiting on my car to be delivered, but i'm pretty sure i've heard that locking when walking away is an option. if this is difficult for you, you could turn that off and lock it with your...

    Having second thoughts

    If you aren't too focused on the Tesla features, no home charging takes away probably the biggest perk of having an EV. I would also consider with a Model 3 is that they are truly built to last if you don't mind changing the MCU when it gets slow, and the battery/motors down the line when...

    Tesla denied warranty for Upper control arms because of Aftermarket Suspension

    I agree with Tesla here. It doesn't matter if it's a known issue, it's something you modified. It would be different if it was every car due to a specific part, but it's not every car, it happening just in just enough cars for it to be a known issue but that doesn't mean that it's not due to...

    Best Financing for FSD Post-Purchase

    Wouldn't put the full amount on a credit card. See what sort of financing options you have available at a lower interest rate. Also consider how long you will have the vehicle because that will affect the resale of the FSD. A lot of people do the basic math of 'FSD costs 12000, so my resale is...

    When Tesla will catch up with Waymo and Cruise at delivering L4?

    All I know is for things like robotaxi or similar concepts, other companies might be ahead and that's great but it's not what i'm looking for. When I think about how great FSD could be when it's done, I think about being able to go anywhere on public roads and switch it on. I want to be able...

    Is FSD really worth the $10k?

    Right now it's probably not worth it. The differences between FSD and autopilot aren't really that important to the majority of people for the majority of their driving. That being said, I'm very excited for my Cybertruck and I am 100% getting FSD. I made my preorder when it was $7000, but...

    Cybertruck Width is 82"

    Also the Cybertruck has the additional lights that are required. if you look at the Cybertruck video when it first came out on stage, their are 5 amber lights across the top light bar. The rear also appears to have 5 brake lights within the brake light strip, it's hard to see but if you look...

    Someone ran into my new Model 3

    Was expecting something entirely different from the title. I've had people admit fault to me and lie to the police and insurance, and i've had people try to do a hit and run. Never have I ever had a good experience after an accident, I think if someone damaged my car, took responsibility, and...

    Police charge Tesla driver who was going 90 mph on AP while asleep

    So you are saying that you can drive drunk better than autopilot can? I highly doubt that since drunk driving claims over 10,000 lives per year and it's not something that should be taken lightly. You either don't know what you are talking about or you have done it and you only assume that you...

    Police charge Tesla driver who was going 90 mph on AP while asleep

    Your definition of a lucky coincidence is a lot different than mine. I've been in Teslas that have gone well over 200km before we reached our exit without a single intervention on the exact same road that this arrest took place on in Alberta, very close to where I live. I watch videos on Tesla...

    Police charge Tesla driver who was going 90 mph on AP while asleep

    How can it be a lucky coincidence. The car isn't designed to drive in a perfect straight line and the road just so happened to be straight. It was a system designed to keep the car in lane and it functioned successfully. I'm not saying it would do this enough times to be considered perfect...

    Cybertruck design/features

    So the ability to put it in with a forklift or a crane would basically be a requirement unless you had it in several pieces that connect togethter. Further, this wouldn't reduce the cost or even make it a similar cost to the trimotor. To do this you would need to have some way to connect it...

    How can this be?

    How can this be?

    Maybe he had autopilot on but his foot was resting on the gas pedal in his sleep. Although, while a lot of people are probably reading this and thinking how dangerous it is. I am reading this and acknowledging that a Tesla successfully drove at 150km/h steadily enough for two people to take...

    Door and Panels not aligned properly

    The reason why this is a common problem is because Tesla doesn't work the way a traditional manufacturer does. If you buy a car from another company, you go through a dealer that will place the order for you and inspect the vehicle when it is delivered to make sure everything is right. This is...

    Summon problem

    The Tesla being out of range of wifi will almost always be easy to connect to. The problem seems to be that when the car is in the garage, it has a strong connection to your home which makes it easy to use, but when it is outside it is probably still close enough to connect to your home network...

    How to Survive without Home or Work Charging?

    Just want to point out that you shouldn't use the Oculus Quest in direct sunlight. My friend damaged his by doing that, was only a few times but now he has some troubles with his. I have used mine when in the car with some privacy shades put up when I had to wait for a few hours.

    I do like the concept of mobileye but I still think they have a lot of work to catch up to Tesla even if it does mostly come down to mass release / broad testing. I am excited to see how they do as they seem to have at least 6 manufacturers that will want their systems in their vehicles. One...

    How to Survive without Home or Work Charging?

    There are actually 3 supercharging stations expected to open in Hawaii before 2020 ends. Although I wouldn't recommend always using superchargers unless you need to charge up quickly. Superchargers are mostly intended for longer drives when you need to charge up quickly and continue on your...

    How to Survive without Home or Work Charging?

    You shouldn't have much difficulty if you only drive 10 or less miles per day. That will still give you plenty left over at the end of the week. My advice would be to plan some shopping or any other errands next to a level 2 charger once a week. I would expect less than a couple of hours...

    I don't think many there are many systems in the world that come close to the amount of places that Tesla can drive. Since you can turn on Tesla Autopilot anywhere that their are lane markings. Openpilot is the only system that can be used as much, from what I seen in a video, it could even be...

    New stop sign and green light features in 2020.36 for FSD only?

    Not sure if you were replying to me, but my Cadillac is fine, I was just mentioning that I got the gap insurance for next to nothing compared to the extremely expensive dealership price. I hate Dealership scams, thank god Tesla doesn't sell out of dealerships I wasn't saying that the police...

    This won't help in this situation, but next time you buy a vehicle, while the dealership might want to charge a lot for gap insurance, your insurance might add it for a fraction of that cost. For example, I bought a new Cadillac and I financed most of it because I keep the majority of my money...
