    Spiderguy SF bay area roadster drive 11/13/2021

    Good turnout for another fun Roadster drive from SF Peninsula to the coast and back. Medlock & Sons brought in some special modified roadsters with wild paint (wraps), and other great mods like race ready suspension upgrades.

    Parts swapping / "cherry picking" during service

    I am dismayed to hear anecdotal stories about Roadsters sent in for service only to be returned with bad parts unrelated to the problem for which they were sent in. There are signs that some shops may have "robbed Peter to pay Paul" by pulling a good working part out of a car that was brought...

    Ongoing annoyance with "button" states on the touchscreen

    I don't know if others feel this way, but I find it annoying the way some "buttons" denote action they will do and some denote the current "toggle" state of the item. Take for instance this screen: One way I can interpret the above is: "My Frunk is OPEN!" & "My Trunk is OPEN" & "My car...

    Phone app button improvements - states & actions

    This is probably covered elsewhere, but: I continue to be annoyed about some inconsistencies and vagaries with the main function buttons in the mobile app. ( I currently have version 3.10.3 of the Tesla iOS app. ) This is the usual set of buttons I see when I open the app away from my car...

    Info on small rear corner window break-ins

    There is an ongoing epidemic of small rear corner windows on Teslas being broken into so thieves can check in the trunk area for backpacks and luggage. We had a big thread on that that eventually got locked due to complaints about some content in that thread being inappropriate. I am going to...

    No AP or Cruise control today

    So far today my car has not offered any AP or Cruise Control. I don't get any steering wheel symbol on my display. I tried the screen "power off" and dual-scroll wheel reset, but still nothing. I am planning to give it another day before requesting service. Have others had this problem?

    Time for conventional advertising ?

    Stock price down. Sales down? Tesla has resisted conventional advertising and relied on ‘word of mouth’ to generate sales. Maybe it is time for TV commercials and billboards to get more people interested? I think the ‘early adopters’ got their cars and now Tesla need to attract more people...

    Dashcam captures a scary moment

    This car pulls up along side me, then just starts changing lanes into me basically running me off the road. You can see in the right repeater how he drifted into the lane to his right, then can swinging back wildly into my lane. Maybe falling asleep or something.

    EAP="Enhanced Auto Pilot" or "Early Access Program"

    I think Tesla may end up confusing people by effectively saying that "people who bought FSD will now get free access to the EAP." The EAP acryonym has already become common vernacular for "Enhanced Auto Pilot", but Tesla's latest blog tells us they want it to be used for "Early Access...

    Fog / moisture in left tail light housing

    Stuck with "Loading..." spinner?

    Have others been running into problems where the Model 3 screen is "stuck" where it just shows two spinners and says "Loading..." ? This happened to me today, and I couldn't get any audio to play. Radio stations wouldn't tune, USB & streaming wouldn't play. The nav and other functions still...

    Dashcam: Tesla built-in vs Vantrue external

    I got a Dashcam before Tesla started offering the built-in one, and decided to compare the video from both. Here is a sample from the Tesla built-in dash cam: And then the same drive using the Vantrue external dash cam: I find that the Tesla "zoomed in" view (they use the distance camera...

    Lane-splitting motorcycle stoplight drag-race dilemma

    Generally motorcycles are quicker than most cars. Many Tesla cars are quicker than most motorcycles. So we end up with a situation. You are lucky enough to end up first in line at a stoplight, ready to have fun with that low end torque. Just as the light is about to change a motorcycle...

    Tesla: The CURE for range anxiety

    Having owned a couple of short range EVs before, it didn't sink in how much big battery, 300+ mile range Teslas erase range anxiety. Between the long range, easy quick charging, comfort, smart navigation, and just general driving pleasure, it more than erases range anxiety. Now that I have a...

    TSMR vs TESL vs TSLA

    So we know Tesla's Stock symbols is TSLA On my (California) DMV paperwork it says my model 3 is a "TSMR" vehicle. On my insurance info it says my model 3 is a "TESL" vehicle. (looks like they both expect a 4 character maker code.) Is one of those more correct and I should ask the other to fix...

    Lexus IS300 vs Tesla Model 3

    No, not a drag race. The Model 3 would easily out accelerate the old IS300. I bought an IS300 new in 2001 and have been waiting for a suitable replacement for a long time. It has been a nice (if you can call anything gas powered nice), reliable car for me, and so I had, I think, a somewhat...

    April Fools: P-AWD model announced with specs

    Saw on another forum that the P-AWD version is going to be available for configuration starting today. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds, and 400 mile range due to improve battery chemistry. Of course they chose April 1st to make this announcement. I would be ordering one, but I can't configure yet.
