Really though any of those cars are a great value and joy to drive. Pick the one you can afford.

The Cyber-3-highland

There is no better service than when Tesla insurance covers an item (like glass) that Tesla is also repairing. In the app “use Tesla insurance?” Popped up… I clicked yes. The Tesla insurance adjuster sent 3 texts: I’ve received your claim. I am covering your claim. Your car is ready and Tesla...

I had this exact problem but I’m in Phoenix. I think it is the glass roof but there are some easy solutions. When I get in my car it’s jacket weather every time now (Phoenix joke - 65 degrees). 1. Tint to state legal maximum on all windows and get a battle tested windshield sunshade. I didn’t...

In Phoenix the dash will reach 180 degrees regularly, and my interior just hit 163 degrees. There are many climates where it’s not a necessary feature, but socal, AZ and Texas are a must. No-ac leaves my interior around 125 degrees in direct sunlight. That’s night and day when getting into the...

In Phoenix two days ago my interior was 163 degrees and I only noticed because the sentry mode kept kicking off. I use no-AC cabin overheat protection and it stays about 125 degrees which is tropical paradise compared to anything that the sun touches (cement is 215 degrees). It isn’t all a...

I always tip $5-$10 depending on the distance. I’ll do 20%. I don’t want to go back to cabs.

[WORRY NO MORE] I set it to connect to my phones hot spot and then to NOT remain connected while in drive so I don’t use my phones data for everything else(I pay for premium connectivity). It downloads the updates once the phone is in range and they download fairly quickly on Verizon - usually...

Got excited and put the TSportline 18" with Michelin Pilot sports in the card plus the accessories. I dunno $3600 just seems to be a lot for a downgrade. The tires are almost double what tire rack is charging too. Ah well, Ill hold off I guess.

How much is your time worth? Switching to a different charger due to slow or broken status even once a month would not be worth any difference in price. How much is peace of mind worth? If I ever fear getting stranded even once, it's worth the entire price of the vehicle. If I had to worry...

I did a road trip in my friends Rivian. He is frantically looking for chargers ahead and reviews to see if they work, and does math in his head based on wh/mi to see how far he can push it. I looked at him kinda dumbfounded and said... "Wow, you don't know do you?!" Tesla automatically daisy...

I thought that too and then got rid of the ICE car eventually because spider webs covered it. I would go through A LOT of inconvenience in my Tesla to never deal with ICE crap accelleration, bad braking, worse safety and pay multiples in expenses. I'd think about it and maybe rent a phev for the...

I installed a charger at work (20 amp) and my parents house (11 kw). Have to go to a supercharger for a few minutes and watch Netflix once per month, instead of from my couch. I would watch Netflix 2 hours a week in my car instead of my couch if it meant I never had to wait for 3 hours for a...

It cant possibly make economic sense to maintain a huge network of 4 stall chargers.

Windshield wipers are annoying with a near full self driving car, so to protest your going back to a non-self driving car? Why not manually drive your Tesla with the wipers off? Also, it's not the bugs... clean the inside of the windshield in front of cameras on a non-humid day every 6 months...

Dunno if it's already been mentioned or not. Hand inside the yoke in parking lots. Spin the wheel 270 degrees right and left rapidly with much more control than a round wheel. Left hand: Grip top of yoke on the inside for rapid right. Bottom on the inside for left.

Heckler and Koch or choose to be a victim. Similar choice to every other public place. It’s not an engineering problem, it’s a public safety problem.

Imagine selling your Tesla because "mad at Elon" and going back to $600 a month in gas and insurance. Ya showed him!

I bought 3 Teslas in 2022 that got rocked by this. Being in the car biz most of my life, I can't understand the thinking that your used car somehow retains value. Yeah, nice while it lasted before Tesla scaled up... but we all knew the scale up was coming.

I bet less than 1% of the population would ever power their house with their car. Why you'd want your $80k-$160k supercar to be used like that instead of a $300 generator escapes my comprehension.

You have to pull up on the broken chargepoint latch button to start charging (yes the opposite of what seems reasonable). All these other charge companies were given huge incentives to INSTALL chargers, not maintain them. They are crap but there usually is a work around like this.

Either sentry mode is on or someone who drove the car "5 times" left the defroster on one of those times for days.

Three Teslas with FSD here. It works fantastic. 1. Read the manual. 2. Pay attention. 3. Anticipate the obvious and predictable times where more intervention is required. Overtime number 3 has become less and less. If you are the guy who put on FSD, folded your arms and started yelling in your...

People should be disengaging it fairly regularly for a few seconds at a time. It's a beta program. If the lines are all over the place or missing, construction workers are walking out around the cones, crazy drivers being unsafe, the car should not be left too guess what to do at this stage. FSD...

I live in a place that doesn't snow, and I use it >95% of miles I drive. It's not ready to drive in the snow or on ice yet. FSDbeta does take some learning, and then it becomes very predictable. Starting off in the middle of winter is gonna be tough; wait for a clearer day and road (I used to...

I have 3 Teslas, 2 with FSD and none with radars. I am very satisified with my level 2 driver assist and have no concerns. It's helps out 95% of my drives. The times it shouldn't be used is very obvious. The only concerns anyone should have with the technology is drivers who recklessly take...

The performance models, in some markets, maintain 7-10k in value over the base/LR. Its free money!

My 2022 Model Y performance FSDb has this issue. Every other mintute autopilot disengages at night. Oddly enough, my 2022 Model 3 performance has no infared emitters and has no problems at night with FSDb, go figured.

The biggest thing is to make sure she understands that if anything looks weird (lanes disappear, construction, police halfway in the lane), simply disengage it by taping the brake. I use my stalk as easily as a turn signal but that takes some learning. Best advice is to drive with it with her...

My wife's 2022 Model Y performance FSD needs a couple interventions per drive. My 2022 M3P on FSD is impressive to say the least. Maybe I'm just lucky but it has done a fantastic job and seems ready to send to the regulators...

Mine doesn't have a radar and it gives me that message.

I have a Model Y performance. Hard ride? WTF are people talking about, have you all owned marshmallow Chevy Malibus or something? I've had Mercedes and BMWs, the ride is comparable to their equivalent S-line, /m series. Why the Tesla is a no brainer - you've been conditioned to think you have...

I used to be very nervous like this and its totally understandable. EVs are very reliable at measuring power use and requirements. Very. What ya end up being like after 6 months of EV Lyfe: 150 mile trip. Left at 30%, supercharger for 18 minutes, arrive at destination Hotel at 10% and charge on...

You aren't beta testing the autopilot unless you drive around with your hands off the wheel. It doesn't rip the steering wheel out of your hand. If it does something I dont agree with I will simply drive... hands already on the wheel. The car will stop much faster than you will so the braking...

I always broke in my new ICE cars at Firebird raceway... Did the same with the Tesla. No negatives. :)

When I get a gift and or a box I don’t open it right away because I love the anticipation of getting it as much as getting it. I think that serves me well with the EDD changing one day back every day. 😂

I’ve used autopilot 95% of drives. Works surprisingly well, especially with red lights and winding roads. I keep both hands on the steering wheel still of course and there are places and situations it’s not gonna work - if you stay attentive these are easy to recognize. I thought I’d start using...

The Shea and 101 chargers work great. I love 250kw

After being reassigned Septemberish, after two days it switched back to August 5-19th. Final Stages. I guess they randomly reassign later dates sometimes.

Blind spot protection? Lol I drive with the car in autopilot 95% of the time. Plenty of time to look for cars. The Tesla doesn’t have it because you don’t actually need it if you use the full capability.

I’m a car guy, dad builds race bikes. We are dumbfounded in love with this thing.

Back to 1 month :(

The secret to happiness with the order process is low expectations. Fortunately, I love the cars. I bought a model Y and we parked our other gas guzzler mercedes and haven't driven it since.

6/17/22. Hopefully it does I was starting to get excited.

My Blue/black FSD M3P just got pushed back from Early August (2 week range) to September/October!

I got rid of my Sirius subscription last month after 20 years or so. Tune in is a lot better - the music doesn’t repeat as often and I can still get cnn/CNBC too.

^^^mayo -chargers installed

I went by there a couple days ago, it looks ready to go. One is bent like someone hit it.

My drive shaft on my BMW broke without warning. Jammed up the rear wheels and it came to a sudden stop during rush hour. Teslas are radically innovative works in progress - it took gas cars 100 years to really perfect the system. Tesla has done a really good job in the years they have bene...
