    FSD experience

    Also using the one month upgrade. I live in the country with unmarked roads. It refuses to turn onto my road where I live, even though it displays the road clearly on the screen. You can see it evaluate the turn a few times, then reject it. Also does not recognize a few speed signs that are...

    Can I add my wife to my purchase agreement and title after I took the delivery?

    I had a similar situation (I think). I paid cash for our MY and wanted to make sure my wife was on the title (I was cleaning up my estate plan to ensure she had easy access to everything). Since you have your title, look at the bottom for a "Rights of Survivorship Agreement". At least in Texas...

    What is the dumbest thing your Tesla does?

    The dumbest thing.....slaming on the brakes at 70 mph when the car thinks the shadow under an overpass is a solid wall.

    Phantom Breaking on recent road trip

    Many similar stories, but I just have to vent. My wife’s 2021 MY has 18K miles and she loves it (but never uses cruise). I use cruise all the time. Last month we were headed home around lunchtime, on cruise, at the 75mph speed limit on the 4-lane-wide interstate. I usually keep my foot on the...

    Phantom

    Love our MY with 18K miles. I was driving home at lunchtime last week and relaxing on cruise at 70 mph. I was headed North of Dallas with very few cars on the 4-lane highway. As I approached an overhead bypass bridge (4 lanes wide), I am guessing the car saw the large black shadow under the...

    What do yo do for a flat tire?

    Thanks. Another question please...Rather than welding on the Rennstand pad, is there adequate material on the M998 stud (that fits in the lift hole) to just file/grind down to the correct diameter? I use the Rennstands for rotating the tires...love them.

    What do yo do for a flat tire?

    Thanks, great list. Quick question please....The M998 hummer jack minimum "appears" to be about 6 3/4 inches. Any clearance issues to engage lift holes when tire is flat?

    Could someone answer my question on my MYLR’s range please?

    Thanks everyone. I will track watt hours per mile and see if it makes better sense. Appreciate the updated information....still learning on this amazing machine!

    Could someone answer my question on my MYLR’s range please?

    Not sure if this thread is the best spot, but since we are discussing range degradation, I would appreciate your thoughts. I have two questions: 1) MYLR has just hit 7k miles (delivered June 21) and max range has decreased to 302 miles. Should I be concerned about this? (Usually home charge...

    TxTag Placement?

    I mounted sticker vertical on my wife's car. It worked great......except going thru DFW airport entrance gate...would never read. Remounted sticker and problem went away!

    iPhone 12 Pro Max and charging

    Ken, do you have the newer center console? If yes, how did you remove the OEM charger? My charger has never worked, and I want to disassemble it to ensure it is connected to power.

    Car died at 14% on the highway, module has high discharge rate?

    Oriah, Suggest you read the following thread (not sure how to link it...newbee). Over 700 replies, including battery repair vendors. Very educational. Will take some time with over 700 replies, but worth it. Service says $22k for new battery on 2012 Model S

    Jeda V4 Wireless Charger

    Bob, my 12 Pro Max fits fine without a case. But with my case on, it is very tight. However, my wife's same 12 phone with her thinner case fits just fine.

    I am still not receiving ANY wireless charging from the MY OEM charger. I am wondering if it was ever connected. Does anyone know how to remove the OEM charger? Thought it would be worth checking. I have the newer console.

    Any confirmation to the Cybertruck statement: .......The Tesla Cybertruck will now offer a previously undisclosed quad-motor variant, rear steering, and a crabwalk function, CEO Elon Musk revealed on Twitter today. Not only that, the first Cybertrucks produced will be exclusively quad-motor models.

    Gap insurance?

    I am with USAA as well. They offer "Car Replacement Assistance" If your vehicle is declared a total loss, they'll pay you an additional 20% of actual cash value. Does not cost much in premiums. I see some Teslas totaled with what appears to be less-than-expected damage. I am thinking the...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Tax credit

    Looks like they consider the tax credit as part of a US protectionist policy (only U.S. built vehicles would be eligible for the $12,500 credit after 2027, under a House proposal). MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A proposed U.S. electric vehicle tax credit is "discriminatory" and Mexico is analyzing a...

    My wife called in a panic! I broke a wheel!

    No damage to the rotor that I could see with flashlight. The brake cover serves to protect the back side of the rotor. You have to flex the cover away from the rotor in order to dislodge the gravel. I had to flex it a number of times before rocks would finally fall to the bottom of the cover to...

    My wife called in a panic! I broke a wheel!

    My wife called in a panic! While driving her 4-month-old MY, her rear wheels suddenly started to scream at her. She pulled into a parking lot and called me. When I arrived, I had her back up slowly to listen to any noise. Wow, it sounded almost as if one of the wheel bearings had...

    . . . but what do you miss from your old car?

    Yes, for Jeep Wrangler, Ford Escape and Mustang. I usually keep my cars for 12-15 years and do all my own maintenance after warranty runs out. Total cost of ownership plays important role in my purchase decision.

    Battery cost MY

    Thanks, and at the high level, I am sure you are correct (plus we love our MY). However, our annual mileage will deplete the battery warranty in about 3 1/2 years. Reading past threads demonstrate a variability in battery life for a variety of reasons. I am very comfortable with gracefully...

    Tesla refusing to transfer ownership of Model 3 [of a vehicle tesla deems unsupported]

    quak, I am so sorry you are having to deal with this, on top of the fact that the Model 3 is such a great car. Sometimes these things can just drink you down emotionally and physically. Sounds like you are on the right path. Please keep us informed as we can all learn from your experience.

    Rimetrix Model Y Aero Cover Availability

    Tire rotation

    I think I understand your concern. When I rotate on MY, I use two rem stands (front left and back right) at the lift points. I then use two modified Porsche 944 scissor stands to provide support under the remaining two lift points. The MY is rock solid on all four points and I remove wheels...
