Don’t patronize me about the difference between EV and ICE car. ICE car does not do the same thing under similar circumstances. The ICE car I had all these years(20+) never had to do any services specific to winter. Sometimes my car drove for less than 500km in a month in winter, nothing...

Just wonder why those would be problem since ICE car never need such attention. The only difference I can see is the salt causing rust.

If salt buildup and rusting are the main reason for the service, I think getting a car wash season ticket and wash the car thoroughly at least once a week should be enough to mitigate the concern and keep your car look good at the same time.

This thread is becoming a bible for stuck wheel removal.

Seriously if someone had any second thought on you simply because what Elon said and you own a Tesla, that guy shouldn’t be your friend at all.

I admire your optimism in the face of slavery and miserable. Feel free to seek such excitement if you see fit

There are people selling stickers online

Absolutely. We are not slaves to our cars. In my case I never have to go out of my way to keep SOC low. It just suits my usage. If your situation requires you to charge full or use fast charge more frequently, no need to try too hard to avoid it to the point of making your life more miserable...

On the contrary to your perception, maintaining low SOC is good for battery health is exactly defined by physics, whether you like it or not. The number is real, and whether the number is negligible is just another personal preference.

Of course all batteries degrade over long term. The difference is how many percentage will be lost. Going up at any point is better than going down.

I have been charging my battery to 50% -60% since I got my car and my battery capacity is actually increasing over time in TeslaFi report

it’s worth it if you are willing to spend that kind of money and put your life and wealth on the line just to have a chance, not guaranteed, to be a beta tester for Elon.

It’s just amazing that even after so many times people praise how amazing it was after a new version of FSD came out, FSD is still so amazingly far from practical. It kind of tells you how an amazingly big gap there is between reality and promises. The more you say “this version has improved...

It’s simple, garage floor is typically neither level nor flat

Let's talk after you try parking outside guided by vision only with everything covered by snow

It’s a ridiculous move as camera only solution would be useless in a lot of situations. What happen when there is snow? It’s white everywhere and how can any AI system tell what is what, let alone distance? It’s like trying to interact with this world with a single sense which makes absolutely...

May as well watch YouTube to learn how to do the parking by yourself 🤣🤣

Don’t hold your breath

I like no service needed more :)

QA in Tesla is getting worse and worse to make the number of car sold in the fiscal report looks better, but it comes at the price of customer satisfaction.

My Q7 weights around 4700 lbs, much higher than MSLR’s 4500 lbs. Suspension tuning is not as straightforward as you might think. Smaller wheel will definitely helps. Different tire will help as well. You should avoid sports oriented tire, go for the comfort/luxury type.

I can feel you. My 2022 SLR has 19 inch wheel. I have an Audi Q7 with air suspension and 22 inch wheel. Still the Q7 drives so much smoother and much more comfortable. I guess you can be advanced in motor and battery technology but when it comes to tuning suspension the big old brothers still...

Until FSD is fully functional and Elon is taking full responsibility for whatever decisions the car make, you should always keep your eyes on the road. Forget about diagnostic purpose or whatever excuses you give yourself, if emergency does happen you should even more focus on the road rather...

You can tell them you are not ready to take delivery. The last time I did this my delivery was postponed for 3 months. Another thing to consider is interest rate. Who knows what sky high rate we would have in 2023. Do a calculation of how much more interest you have to pay if it rises another...

The fact is not all cars are capable of updating software by OTA. A recall is just a legal term that mandates a defect that must be fixed free of charge. So in the case there is a hardware problem when the manufacturers can send a technician to your home to do a “mobile service”, are you guys...

The black screen was most likely because OP was using satellite map so it’s not able to update when reaching new area not previously visited.

Oh I remember now that you need the CCS module to use the adapter.

I hope retrofit means adding a CCS port right next to the existing Tesla charge port.

Just saw that location is an issue. In that case if you can afford it then keep the Tesla.

I'd say Uber is a better choice if you only need a second car once or twice a month.

My less than one month old 2022 LR S had a oil leak and they had to replace the front drive unit oil pump and heat exchanger. The loaner they provided to me during the repair turned out to be not working on the spot at the service center. They didn't even know their car was broken. Before the...

The one thing I don't like in the yoke is, with round steering wheel, after making a turn I can control how fast the steering wheel returns to its natural position depending on how strong I hold on to it. Now I have to move my hands to keep it in control and it's not as smooth.

This is the most ridiculous 100K+ car you can buy with all the missing equipment etc. And they won't allow you to pay less until you receive those missing pieces. This will definitely be my last Tesla.

In my opinion, it's most likely they found some issues with the car and couldn't fix it in time. Take a note of the VIN if it ever changes. They are supposed to check the car for defect first after arrival and before delivery. If it's delayed they shouldn't wait till last minute to notify you.

If you are financing, the interest rate could skyrocket in 2 months.

Call them to change your options, like color, wheel size etc. But with the interest rate rising so fast I'm afraid you may lose more money on higher rate.

So still no conclusion after 3 months?

It was in Vaughan. It's already gone beyond that range.

You got some "notches" but in my case the whole ring is off 😩

It turns out I jinxed myself. Just made my first night run outside and found the outer edge LED of my left headlight was busted already. Not sure it's not on since delivery or simply crap quality issue. You may want to add headlights to your check list during delivery o_O

Finally took my MSLR delivery yesterday. Alignment problems almost everywhere inside and out but since they are not sticking out too much or making a scene I simply chose to ignore them. So far no complaint, yet.

I guess you are right that I was lucky to dodge a bullet in the sense that maybe because the original damage was turned out to be too bad in the body shop so they gave me a new VIN.

Just found out that the VIN is gone from my Tesla app and delivery date is changed to June/July. Hope that means the decision is made for me and there will be a new VIN.

That's the thing. With the rate rising like crazy I don't know if I should take the loss now, or reject the VIN and wait for next one with higher rate which most likely cost me a few thousand dollars more interest anyway.

Still waiting for update from Tesla

I was told that there was a stone chipped paint on the door during the transportation. What a bummer.

I already called the insurance company to cancel the policy

I was expecting the delivery of my MS LR tomorrow. Then got a message at 6PM tonight that they discovered "an adjustment" that needs to be made on my car by a certified bodyshop so my delivery was postponed! What kind of issue would require an adjustment by bodyshop?

I waited 6 months for my MS LR and was expecting a delivery tomorrow. Then got a message at 6PM tonight that they discovered "an adjustment" that needs to be made on my car by a certified bodyshop so my delivery was postponed and they didn't even have an estimate at this point how long it will...
