    X-Care battery & drive unit warranty

    I rolled the dice since I've got the debut Model 3 (2018), in part thanks to a $400 discount for current Xcare customers.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    Superbottle has now been replaced as of last Wednesday. So far so good. With a desert heat wave and temps reaching 114 in the interim, this is a good test and is why I was particularly alarmed to see these errors in the hottest season.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    Between the two visits, one for the actuator and the other for the superbottle, I'm just a hair under at a little over a 1000. The only saving grace is I have an extended warranty, but there is still a deductible of $100 per visit, so that's a little less reassuring.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    I have spoken too soon. Coolant valve bad mode is now getting triggered in the alerts post repair. Is there an overarching mechanism that may need to be replaced? I think I read earlier in this thread that it's called the superbottle?

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    An update on my end, the service center replaced the five-way actuator and so far so good.

    VCFRONT a210 coolant Valve Calib

    Scary, I have an RWD and the same error. My appointment isn't until July 5th, and the service center is 2 hours away. My extended warranty may be coming in handy here soon.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I would say it depends how egregious the driving behavior is. I've never experienced it until this latest update (11.3.4) repeatedly violently merge into turning lanes on the right-hand side without warning. Two steps forward and three steps back is a hard pill to swallow.

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    This sounded attractive at one time, but not with a headaches of dealing with it on a daily basis. I'm not sure I can justify $200 a month either. With a single activation fee, I at least wouldn't have a monthly reminder of how far it falls short.

    When the car is trying to run off the road, yes, I'm anticipatory of an update that fixes it.

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    I thought I was going to get FSD for the cyber truck, but I'm increasingly not interested.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I wonder if 11.3.6 is any better. I guess I'm not on the priority list.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I agree the highway driving is an improvement over the previous software build. The city driving is so treacherous that I'm probably going to stop using it.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    11.3.4 is dangerous from where I'm sitting. It keeps making sudden turns into turning lanes when I'm clearly going straight through.

    Creaking noise from suspension - resolved!

    I had a control arm replaced after it was apparently botched by a tire change operation in 2021. My driveway is on an incline, so when I get to the bottom and begin to turn into the street, I notice a small amount of creaking from that same area. I don't notice it any other time so I'm going...

    Battery health test

    I started at 7% or 8% actually. I just turned on the heater to encourage it along. I don't think I'll try it again so as to not waste another cycle.

    Battery health test

    I tried this on a 2018 long range model 3. I got the power down to zero percent using the heater, but after at least 5 hours progressed and no charging initiated, I canceled it and started to charge it back up manually myself.

    Driving visualization temporarily degraded message

    Just great, happened here for the first time last night but cleared the following morning after a sleep. It's a very recent firmware version so it's either a regression or a cable/camera problem.

    Coronavirus

    I refuse to be anyone's slave and wear a mask. Most masks (short of maybe the N95) have no effect on stopping transmission of this flu-like virus (and the manufacturer of the most common mask even has a disclaimer as to how ineffectual the mask is against it). Abortion up to and including...

    The computer is backordered across 3 separate regional SCs, even though I'm eligible. Car isn't getting any younger (March 2018).

    Coronavirus

    Additionally, and I haven't read much lately in the last week, Sweden didn't shutter their economy and are relying upon the herd immunity approach for their population. In the long run, we'll see if the Chicken Littles were correct or not (30+ million unemployed and endless small businesses...

    Opinion: FSD, Why you should not buy it.

    The stretch of highway I drive does not make EAP enjoyable, which can't read the lane boundaries as I enter from the onramp such that it weaves back and forth (I guess this qualifies as more fun?) as it scans for the painted lanes (there is lots of "noise" on the pavement/asphalt from previous...

    Opinion: FSD, Why you should not buy it.

    $8K for EAP/FSD in 2018 was one of the more idiotic purchasing decisions I've ever made. FOMO got me good. I shudder to think if I'd fallen for the max $13K screw job a few years prior to that.

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    I have no idea how screwed I should feel anymore with all the ensuing decoupling and price adjustments that have taken place since I gleefully bent over almost 2 years ago. I paid $5k for EAP and $3k for FSD in March 2018. I suppose this puts me somewhere in the middle of the screwed pack. I...

    Percentage or Miles/Kilometers : which do you use and why?

    My annoyance that both can't be displayed simultaneously continues to irritate. This surely can't be a insurmountable request.

    Is FSD overpriced ($7,000 over AP)?

    Definitely wish I hadn't bought it with the purchase as a Tesla virgin. I should've listened to the warning signs that were being spouted by the veterans then.

    Anyone LR AWDs Showing 322 Miles Fully Charged?

    Nice feature, my 12k-mile 2018 RWD shows only 306 available. That looks to be in the median here, though I'm annoyed to have never achieved better than a 315 estimated range.

    My 2018 RWD's 80% fell to 245 estimated miles on the most recent 2 charges (just surpassed 12k miles on the odo), it was pretty solidly at 246 prior to that for as long as I can remember. *cries* I think the best estimated range I've seen is 315, and it looks like those days are behind me...

    What will happen within the next 6 1/2 weeks?

    When the topics are simply fact-based and not clouded with opinion or an obvious agenda (which clouds my own perception of Wikipedia), I confess to agreeing it's not entirely useless (and making references available at the bottom does make it possible for the reader to investigate the claims made).

    What will happen within the next 6 1/2 weeks?

    Wikipedia is only as good as the sources upon which it relies (and the conclusion at which its information gatherers/compilers arrive). Being a "random person on the Internet" has no bearing on the fact that Wikipedia is frowned upon as a research tool in most college assignments/research. ;)...

    Auto Pilot Is Dangerous

    Had a "dangerous" moment yesterday when NOA tried to merge me into a lane where a vehicle (pickup truck towing a trailer) was entering the freeway (the onramp lane was coming to an end, and they were engaging a very slow, gradual merge), and I subsequently had to wrest control away.

    It’s been 1051 days since I paid in full for FSD

    $8k was the purchase price leading up to summer 2018 as well. The silver lining is I don't have the antiquated MCU1/AP2.0 combination.

    OK, some of my reading led me to believe the early Model 3s were saddled with MCU1. I guess that discussion overlapped with Model S/X.

    poll: will you upgrade to FSD package before price increase?

    Their Marketing Department (and Elon's Tweets) have ruined a lot of good will. As an early FSD buyer (big mistake), there's nothing to show for it 1-1/3 years later.
