    Loss of Steering Control

    Ok so if it's a safety feature and not an anomaly, I'll leave it alone. Thanks for the advice.

    Loss of Steering Control

    I might have been taking the off ramp curve a little too fast. I get the same two loud beeps if a car cuts in front of me a little too close. It's the steering wheel freezing up that's got me a little concerned.

    Loss of Steering Control

    I just experienced a momentary loss of steering control while exiting a freeway off ramp on my 2022 M3LR. The computer beeped twice and the steering wheel froze for about one second, and then went back to normal. The touch screen didn't indicate any malfunction. I'm curious to see if this has...

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    Thank you for that confirmation! I thought I was being singled out for not complying with the Tesla dealerships so-called policy for needing two checks.

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    I went through my CU because their interest rates were lower than the dealerships. So I guess according to the responses I've been getting that not too many people are using Credit Unions for financing, and the dealerships can't provide a good valid reason why they need two checks instead of...

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    The Credit Union combined my down-payment with the amount I was financing and cut the check for the full amount to the dealership. It made perfect sense to me, and I know that's their policy for many other new car buyers. I agreed to the terms of their financing which was 29 K and it was a done...

    Software Updates

    I just got software version 2022.16.3 installed 4 days ago on my 2022 M3LR which previously I had 16.2. My friend who has the very same car went from version 16.2 to 20.5 about a week ago. I'm still waiting for my 20.5 to load. Is there any logic to figuring out the software upgrades and why...

    Phantom Braking

    My biggest fear is getting rear ended in LA traffic. When you're cruising at 70 mph and suddenly the brakes come on to slow you down to 50 in less than 2 seconds with no obstacles in sight, I consider that a pretty big hazard. So from now on I won't use auto pilot at all until Tesla can come up...

    Phantom Braking

    Does anyone know if Tesla will return to using Lidar radar to solve the phantom braking problems while in auto pilot mode, now that the cost of Lidar radar has come way down to like a $1000.00?

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    I talked to the Tesla dealership trying to get a valid answer as why they want 2 checks instead of 1, and the only answer they provided was that it was for Tesla's records. My response was what does it matter if the buyer puts 20% or 80% down on the vehicle as long as they get paid in full there...

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    If this is how Tesla dealerships want their payment, then I will take what you've said literally to the bank and show them. I'm not sure why other dealerships are flexible as far as the payment options go, since my coworker had no issues submitting one cashier's check for both the down-payment...

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    It would seem to me that after the Credit Union had established the finance amount, they simply take my funds and combine it with their funds to produce one cashier's check to cover the cost in full. The Credit Union couldn't understand why two checks would be necessary, and thought that the...

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    Maybe it's a Credit Union policy to cut one check for the down-payment and the financed amount. Both myself and my coworker went through Credit Unions for our new car loans because the interest rates were lower.

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    Since I'm not familiar with this new car buying experience, I went back to my bank today and talked to a finance person. They said that's how they handle all of their new car purchases. They provide the dealership with one cashier's check. I also talked to coworker who recently bought a new...

    Tesla Delivery Center requesting two checks for delivery pickup instead of one.

    I talked to the Tesla dealership while I was at the bank getting my financing done, and I explained to the dealership that I was putting a down-payment of a little more than half down for the car. The dealership said fine just take a photo of the bank's cashier's check and email it to the...

    Wall Connector will not connect to Internet

    I just talked with Tesla and they said that the phone internet disconnect is normal when the phone connects to the wall connector it switches off the internet to make the WiFi connection. But you can still connect to Tesla's IP address 192.168.92.1 without typing in the http:// preface to get...

    Wall Connector will not connect to Internet

    After scanning the QR code for my Tesla Wall Connector and selecting connect to the Internet I get the message "checking the quality of your Internet connection", then it asks if I want to "always connect " which I select, then it gives me the message "connected without Internet". After I go...
