    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I applaud what you are doing, but putting 100% into TSLA is what affected the sustainability of future scholarships. Please diversify. The TSLA gravy train of the last few years was never going to last forever.

    2022.20

    In my experience the green light chime has worked well, I'm happy with it: When stopped at the front of a light, it chimes when it turns green (if I have not moved after about 1/2 second) When behind a few cars, and the light turns green, it chimes when the car in front of me starts moving...

    Supercharger - Redding, CA (LIVE 11 Oct 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    When multiple sites around Redding get superchargers a lot faster - how many years has this been in the works now? - Then it is not ”so-so logistics on Tesla’s end” that is at fault. Unless there is some mysterious Tesla logistics dampening field installed in Redding. 😉 It is either city or...

    Cruise Control

    Is it certain that the non-FSD TACC uses the same software stack as FSD Beta? Because I am very skeptical that is does… So a FSD Beta user saying it works well does not mean that the experience is the same in a non-FSD TACC user.

    The secondary street color in dark/night mode was already fixed (or vastly improved) in 2022.4.5 or 2022.4.5.1.

    The original poster has posted his thoughts on the Ionic 5 several times in this thread, with more coming hopefully - did you miss them?

    Model Y rolling / being pushed off assembly line

    They're checking the oil level. Perhaps one of the conditions of being allowed to open a factory in TX is that they have to make an ICE Model Y. ;)

    Since we are posting crash stories…Plaid S Idiot

    As the saying goes: "money can't buy taste". It also can't buy common sense, demonstrably. So any assumption that rich people know better should be thrown out the window.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Same here... I was able to find a CHAdeMO adapter, and I got it for peace of mind when road tripping. An expensive peace of mind, but still... 🙂 If you need it, 50kw is a heck of a lot better than the 5-10kw you will see at most L2 chargers. That of course assumes that the charger is...

    Sold my Model S, bought an Ioniq 5

    Thanks for the initial write-up of your experience @Sances! As someone who is very interested in an Ionic 5 (or EV6) as a potential 2nd EV in the future, I am very interested to hear of your continued experience as someone coming from a Tesla. 👍

    ioniq 5? too bad its a hyundai.

    Yes, I have no idea what the OP means... KIA / Hyundai have *very* reliable and great cars - I own two Kias and we are very happy with them. And we just passed down a Hyundai to my daughter. If I was in the market for a new EV (and a Tesla was not a practical option), I would have no hesitation...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    If for one have used the "email when item is restocked" functionality many times in the Tesla shop, but I can only recall being notified ONCE through email that an item was back in stock. So it definitely isn't working 100% of the time. Or they send out staggered emails and I've just happened to...

    Phantom braking survey

    My own personal anecdote - I did a long drive last weekend, with about 24hrs driving total over 5 days: The phantom breaking seemed slightly improved, but that may just have been different lighting conditions compared to the same route a few months ago. On normal (undivided) highways it still...

    Supercharger - Red Bluff, CA (LIVE 27 Nov 2019, 8 V3 stalls)

    I forgot to mention... Not only this this location a dump metaphorically, there is LITERALLY a dumpster placed in the middle of the superchargers! What were they thinking? 😄 See attached picture. (from PlugShare) Ok maybe I am being too negative, this supercharger has saved me on more than one...

    Supercharger - Red Bluff, CA (LIVE 27 Nov 2019, 8 V3 stalls)

    I certainly hope not, the current site is a real dump... One of the (if not the) sketchiest supercharger locations I have visited. It never fails to unimpress. :D

    Supercharger - Santa Clarita, CA (LIVE 6 Apr 2018, 24 V2 + 8 V3 stalls)

    Was there this weekend, the navigation software led me here... For someone travelling on the 5, this was an odd location. Pro tip: Don't get there after 8pm if you plan to do any kind of eating or shopping, virtually all businesses were closed for the day. (or permanently, hard to tell) Only...

    Supercharger - Glendale, CA - Harvey Dr (LIVE 25 Jan 2022, 16 stalls)

    Maybe I was just lucky, but I had absolutely no issues getting into the lot at 5pm yesterday. 🤔 There were lots of people in line to In-n-out, wrapping around The building, but they seem to manage the line pretty well.

    Supercharger - Glendale, CA - Harvey Dr (LIVE 25 Jan 2022, 16 stalls)

    I dunno, visited here today - very busy. Only one or two stalls available. So it seems like a popular location. Or maybe the navigation software prioritizes newish superchargers. 🤔

    CCS Adapter for North America

    But they promised no such feature. There could be any number of things in the pipeline that some cars have that they might hope to enable in the future, but they have not promised it. I certainly want CCS support ASAP, but Tesla does not OWE me CCS support as it was never a promised feature.

    Huge update, V11...thoughts? and any hidden features found yet??

    Yes it is colder now, but not that much colder. I live on the coast. And I have my car in my attached garage so it stays pretty warm. (no colder than 50F) Although come to think of it, I did drive it today and there was no warning, so it may be more sporadic than it seems.

    Huge update, V11...thoughts? and any hidden features found yet??

    On my MYLR that I only charge to 81% every night, this holiday update always seems to give a warning about reduced regenerative braking - although I don't feel any difference. I assume that this is a bug, because previously I only saw it when charged over 90%. I did a quick reboot but that did...

    Indeed! I would recommend both this door PPF and mudflaps… unless you live where there are perfect roads with no dirt, and no bad weather. 😊

    Phantom braking survey

    Has anyone noticed any improvement in the phantom braking severity/frequency with the holiday update? (2021.44.52.x with the new UI) I have not had time to make any drives to test it, but I am curious if the supposed FSD phantom braking improvements have carried over to for us non-FSD traffic...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    …Which is why it is important a list/spreadsheet tracking this makes a distinction between “not supported” (pre 2020) and “not installed” (post 2020). One can NOT be upgraded to support CCS, the other can be upgraded. At the moment, it seems like “Enabled” only shows on cars in a 2020 to...

    Huge update, V11...thoughts? and any hidden features found yet??

    Yes but that kind of defeats the purpose of the driver profile linked to phone. And normally it works fine. But if you travel in a car with someone else with phone-as-key (like your spouse), it sometimes picks the “wrong key” and selects your spouses driver profile. It happens at least once a...

    Huge update, V11...thoughts? and any hidden features found yet??

    I hear you, I like some things, but dislike other things. I suspect some things will come back in the next update. Because there really was no need to hide the driver profile display and selector up top… after all the space isn’t used for something else! (my biggest gripe) If they are allowing...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    You should be more specific… as far as I can tell, there are 3 options the UI will report for CCS adapter support: “Enabled”, “Not installed” “Not supported” @tps5352 you should update your graph to show the 3 possibilities.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    I just got the new software update (2021.44.6) on my October 2021 build MYLR, and I was disappointed to see that it shows "CCS Adapter Support" as "Not Installed". 😐 Hopefully installing the support hardware in my car will not be too expensive, once it - and the adapter itself - is available...

    Supercharger - Redding, CA (LIVE 11 Oct 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    It won't be ready for Christmas, it is several months away since no construction has started. You might have to go to Red Bluff to supercharge, I know I had to when visiting. Otherwise - If you are staying at a local hotel, two of them have Tesla Destination chargers, that might be your best...

    New tweet from Tesla: will sell their own CCS adaptor “soon” in North America

    In many more "backwaters" areas (like where I live), there are still a substantial amount of CHAdeMO chargers (although CCS should pass it soon if it has not already). And those areas tend to be ones with more limited Superchargers as well, what a coincidence... ;) So CHAdeMO adapters would...

    Cruise Control

    Yep, had a 5hr drive today, and cruise control is close to unusable on an undivided highway. If you see a truck coming towards you, you can be 80% sure the car will slam on the brakes. So frustrating. Please, Tesla, if you aren’t going to fix it, add a setting in the menu that can turn it into...

    Phantom braking survey

    I had a crazy number of phantom brakes happening today on a 5hr drive from SF to Eureka. (Vision only 2021 MYLR with 2021.38.8 - no FSD) Want to use cruise control on an undivided highway? Good luck… it slams on the brake 80% of the time when encountering a truck in the opposite lane. With or...

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    I wrote it was “sufficient”. But I hold Tesla to a higher standard than doing the bare minimum. What you are doing Is the equivalent of defending a hypothetical slow accelerating Tesla as “but it moves forward, what else do you need?”. 😀 Relax. It is OK that the Model Y is not perfect.
  39. SpaceShipDrvr

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    There’s no need to be defensive about the Model Y. I love my MYLR… BUT … the rear visibility (and mirrors) of the Model Y are objectively bad compared to almost ANY car on the market. Certainly every car I have ever driven over 20+ years. There are so many low-hanging fruit efforts that Tesla...

    Supercharger - Redding, CA (LIVE 11 Oct 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I really hope this thing gets built soon. It does not affect local residents much since they can charge at home, but for visitors to Redding it is a royal pain. I arrived in Redding today with not much charge for the weekend (coming from the coast) staying in a friends apartment, I had to...

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    It’s crazy that I ordered my MYLR in June, and the price has risen $6k(!!!) since then, less than 5 months ago.

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    Huh, it certainly should not change after order. (Which is what people are calling “locked in”) Are you sure you didn’t forget about a $1k option you added? But check your email. The day you ordered you should have received an “order agreement” PDF with your selected options and price. If it...

    2022 Model Y, tesla forgot to install type c ports in the center console

    No, they did not forget. They appear to be short on parts. Some were told about it. So you really weren’t told/notified about it prior to accepting? That is shitty if true.
  47. SpaceShipDrvr

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    That economy of scale won’t really kick in until Austin AND Berlin are going at full capacity. (Which will double Model Y production numbers) That is likely a year away. I don’t see any price decrease until that happens… and even then they will have a 9 month backlog to go through. Demand far...

    Available in Tesla Shop: OEM Model Y PPF

    I bought and installed their mini-rocker PPF - since the Tesla OEM was out of stock - and it turned out well. The instructions were a bit fuzzy, but the end result was great and pretty easy to install. (the instructions weren't very clear on when the tack spray was to be used, but it worked out)...
