    87 Tesla Multi-Car Light Show

    Hey All, Just thought I’d share a cool event with you. My son and I were honored to be asked to help design a Tesla light show for a Make-A-Wish event. The Utah Tesla Owners Club was invited to help make the event extra special. 87 Teslas showed up!

    Light show security

    Not a silly question at all. I create light shows and also sell custom USB drives that people can put light shows on. I also have a background in cyber warefare (military). While the actual files that are used in the process are relatively simple (and easy to scan) it does bring up a very...

    2 20" Model Y Induction Wheels Only

    I'm selling two 20" Model Y Induction rims. They do have center caps, but no TPMS. Great shape, no curb rash. They do have a couple minor scratches where the tire guy, in his infinite wisdom, stacked the rims on top of each other. Great for a spare or if you rashed or bent one. These are...

    UI Rant

    Tesla UIs are like the the weather in Florida (or... er... Birmingham for OP?). Don't like it? Wait an hour and it will change.

    Anyone else having trouble using the turn signals?

    If you press only to the first detent, it will blink 3 times for lane changes and then turn off. I feel you though. I've had this happen to me, too.

    Is safety score attached to car or user account?

    Should be tied to the VIN, but regardless, you could just "opt out" and it resets your score.

    10.3.1 FSD visualizations disappearing

    If you disengaged by pressing the brake or pushing up 2 detents on the stalk, this is expected.

    10.3.1 FSD visualizations disappearing

    Mine does the same thing. I believe it's to show a clear difference between being on FSD versus TACC. When you "break out" of FSD by turning the wheel, it still keeps you in TACC. Same behavior should happen if you push up one detent on the stalk to cancel FSD, but stay in TACC. I'm on 36.5.3

    Tesla Vision's Autopilot speed limit reduction from 90 -> 80 MPH has been a pain roadtripping across the country.

    I know you can toggle off FSD, but I don't know if it would give you the "old AP" speed limit of 90 if you do. Might be worth a try for a mostly highway trip.

    Mysterious speaker in passenger footwell.

    It's not possible that it could be for both? Did this info come from Tesla? How do you explain the "eCall emergency call system requires service" above?

    Mysterious speaker in passenger footwell.

    This looks like a future "OnStar"-like system. Speaker would be dedicated to the operator incase your battery/main sound is dead after a collision? Operator: "Sir/Ma'am, first question: were you on FSD Beta when the collision happened?" Driver hanging upside down: "Ummm.. yeah?" Car: "Self...

    Safety Score

    I hit 100 miles mid day on day 4. Didn't get FSD until late (9pm) on the 5th. Just a data point.
  14. cgiGuy

    Safety Score

    I'll answer my own question, as I really didn't have anything to lose by trying it. I "opted out" of the FSD Beta program by hitting "the button" and selecting "opt out." Then I went for a few minute drive. Then I opted back in and went for a few more minutes of driving. It basically just...

    Safety Score

    Has anyone tried opting out (turning off "the button") and then back in? Does it reset your score? I made the mistake of trusting that AP wouldn't count against me on 200 miles of driving the first couple days and must have had following on too close. Got me a lot of miles at 85-88 score...

    URGENT: if were plugged into a wall outlet with 0% can we can make it 3 miles after charging an hour

    I wouldn't put that to the test unless it really was an emergency. This an anecdote about a 2015 Model, but mine actually shut down on me with 3 miles still left on the range. It's posted on here somewhere..

    URGENT: if were plugged into a wall outlet with 0% can we can make it 3 miles after charging an hour

    Better at a 110v with a working heater for couple hours than on the side of the road! Also, the red face of your significant other will probably put off some pretty good heat. ;)

    End of Lease Purchase Gone for S/X Now?

    I was chatting with a sales advisor on the US site, and asked what the purchase price would be at the end of a Model X lease. Was surprised when she told me that Tesla offer no more option to buy on any cars now. I knew that was the case for the 3/Y, but this is new for the S/X, right?

    2013 Tesla Model S 60, Dallas Texas, 7300 original miles, original owner

    Sorry for your loss. I had a 2013 60 and loved it. Some things that may help you sell it are posting some more details about the options. You can find them on the window sticker if you still have it, or you can ask Tesla and they should send you a digital copy. There is value in the free...

    Hi from Cornwall, UK

    I've never lived that far from a service center, but always at least an hour drive away. I can tell you, I enjoyed driving the car enough that the distance never bothered me for a service visit. You're gonna love it. Congrats!

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    Please be aware of your surroundings while doing "tests" with FSD. I appreciate James Locke's videos because if he sees that FSD is affecting other drivers, he over-rides it immediately.

    Used Model Y's now available on Tesla's website

    Because they're under the "new" search criteria. ;) In your example, it would have to have been returned prior to being titled in the buyers name, which I assume Tesla would wait at least 7 days to do (back when they had a 7-day return policy). This is really no different than any of the...

    Used Model Y's now available on Tesla's website

    That's because they're "technically" not used. They are inventory vehicles used for test drives or loaners. So, they still qualify as new, at least to the US gov't. They also qualify for any incentives offered by US states.

    Clouds/stars reflection in glass roof easter egg....

    Not really an Easter egg. Easter eggs don't "appear" unless you do something to find them. Like when you used to be able to get to a "flight simulator" in Excel 97.

    2014 Model S pricing

    A 2014 85S will have just about the same or less range than a brand new Model 3 SR+. Hard to say what other features the Model S has, but you're guaranteed the latest tech and the ability to add FSD. The 2014's didn't have any autopilot hardware at all until Sept. AP is standard on all Teslas...

    Tesla Model Y Windows Shatters on its Own

    So what part of the sound of a glass breaking don't you think qualifies as a "sound"? You can even hear small glass particles fall to the ground a few seconds after the initial break sound (which admittedly sounds weird, but that's probably because the mic on the cam is dynamic and it was dead...
