    Dan O'Dowd’s 2023 Super Bowl Dawn Project Commerical

    The child was moving toward the street so the motion may have made the difference. Still impressive.

    FSD Ripoff or Not?

    Was proud of my Tesla today, had it on FSD and while going 40 mph, it abruptly slowed down to about 15 mph. There was nothing in front of me so I thought it was a mistake, then I saw a boy between two city garbage cans next to the curb, all I could see was his head. Tesla had seen him before...

    Anyone else lose auto park after latest FSD update?

    Got the holiday update but did not fix the park assist. I cleaned all my cameras (that used to be the problem) and still no P icon. I use it fairly often and would like to get it back.

    Light Show not working

    After slamming all the doors again, it finally started working. Must have been something with the door sensor.

    Light Show not working

    My 2018 M3 light show was working fine as of 12/16 and now is not working. I get message that it is ready, I close all doors and hear a thump but windows don't lower. Windows work fine from switch but won't lower with light show. I have checked trunk and frunk, all good. I have rebooted...

    DC Charging a rebuild title Tesla

    Supposedly it's not just about reputation it's about safety and burning the superchargers and anything near them. Regarding mythical Chevy bolts I don't know what the usage rate is but I know that Tesla opened it up to them in spite of their reputation for catching fire. What is mythical is that...

    Tesla to have salvage title supercharging reinstatement process by the end of the year, no s or x.

    I understand what they claim to be a safety issue, but when they allow me access for 3 years under a salvage title, then finally get me banned, the safety issue is no longer relevant, I have proven over a pattern and a practice of use that safety is no longer an issue. If they fail to ban me...

    Salvage Car Owners Support Group.

    New to this group. I have a 2018 M3 salvage title. No air bags deployed, minor damage that for some reason was declared total loss and salvaged. For 3 years after salvage, I had access to superchargers with no incidents. Then I was banned, no warning, almost stranded after a long road trip...

    2018 100d Rebuilt-Salvage

    Sad but true, except the part about Elon Musk, less than a 50/50 chance is more like it.

    Tesla to have salvage title supercharging reinstatement process by the end of the year, no s or x.

    I hope that's true. I have a 2018 M3 with 2019 salvage title that used superchargers for 3 years without incident and suddenly got banned. Should be on a case by case basis. I almost got stranded with no warning that, after 3 years, I was now lumped in the scum group because I happen to have...

    Can anyone help with enabling supercharging?

    I have heard that somebody took it to court against Tesla and won. If true, maybe somebody is more familiar with the details

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Then why don't they ban Chevy Bolts that have a reputation for fires and that could kill others and damage infrastructure? Have there been any salvaged Teslas that have caught on fire at SC? Mine has safely used SC stations for 3 years while branded, and no incidents. It should be handled on...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Not only do they not know anything about other brands and models of cars, not only do they not know if they are branded, tampered with, modified or whatever, but they also don't know what has happened to a Tesla. The Tesla may have been modified by the owner, had the battery damaged or in other...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Not sure the nature of your question, but yes, they are banning all salvage/branded titled Teslas from using superchargers, forever. No reason has ever been given, it is just the way it is. This one size fits all policy also bans hail damaged cars that have been totalled, and does not look at...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    "IT'S THE SUPERCHARGERS, STUPID" In this video, the father and son team show why the Tesla supercharger network is the competitive advantage and why having a Tesla is better than other EV's. That is why I will not let my complaint go, I will continue to make noise about it until the policy is...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Like Twitter, they can do as they please, or like Netflix they can do as they please, but at what cost in the court of public opinion? It is not just salvage titled cars being banned from SC but accumulated stories of bad customer service that will eventually catch up with Tesla, regardless of...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Well, if it is true that they don't care about their customers, then let's get the word out. Banning a Tesla owner from the Tesla network of SC for arbitrary and capricious reasons is extremely serious, just like Twitter banning free speech is extremely serious and should not be tolerated.

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    This love it or leave it philosophy is wrong. Just like Twitter's policy that its their product, they are a private business, and can ignore free speech and the 1st amendment is wrong. I had no idea that a salvage title vehicle would be banned from Supercharging. Now, after 3 years of...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    I would hate to resort to a legal action because I still want to give Elon and Tesla the benefit of the doubt. However, legal action would give us a platform and access to the court of public opinion. We would get widespread press coverage that is not in the best interest of Tesla. Of course...

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    Absolutely agree, and that was the purpose of my post, to get a group of people who were banned from SC for no good reason, and no reason has ever been given. Safety has never been given as the official reason by Tesla.

    Salvage cars: Tesla permanently disabling SC from supercharger

    I am not focusing on the legal aspects, I held Tesla and Elon in high esteem. I was their biggest advocate and they do this to me. This is about doing the right thing, not the legal thing which are often polar opposites. Insurance adjusters often salvage a car as a favor to the owner who...

    DC Charging a rebuild title Tesla

    Have there been any salvaged Teslas catching fire at supercharger stations? I have not heard of any. Tesla is now allowing Chevy Bolts to use their chargers, and they do have a reputation for catching fire. My Tesla used the SC 100's of times as a salvaged vehicle and had no issues...

    That makes no sense, because buying a used clean title Tesla from a private owner means the same thing, no money for Elon.

    Yes, I would be interested in a class action response. This policy by Tesla makes no sense, safety or otherwise, is no justification. See my post: Why Tesla's policy on banning Superchargers to salvage title Tesla owners

    Can anyone help with enabling supercharging?

    Tesla says there are 60,000 FSD Beta testers now

    Autopilot also can be glitchy, and risky. But that should not keep it from a general release to those who paid for it. The benefits far outweigh the risks. And the concept that a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us, is not a justifiable reason to not release the FSD to those who paid...

    The unofficial "when do I get my FSD beta update" FAQ

    Agreed, arrogant comes to mind. Any way you cut or slice it, we paid for the FSD years ago, and we should be able to participate in city/town driving FSD. I have no problem being kicked out if I am driving unsafely but give us a chance. If it is fear of the almighty government regulators that...

    FSD Beta Revocation

    I really don't get it. I am a good driver, no accidents or tickets in many years. What can someone expect with a 85 score that is a result of driving on a congested freeway with people who can't stand to see more than a car length before they cut in. I have mine set at 7 car lengths and still...

    2018 M3 no dash cam icon, format button inactive

    If this has already been addressed in another thread, please point me to it. My issue is that Tesla Support had me reboot the car using the two steering wheel buttons then had me do a power off. This brought up the dash cam icon and I was able to format my SD 128g high speed which worked for a...
