    Model Y Perf or BMW X3M?

    As a previous BMW owner, 330, M3, X3 my warning to you all is NEVER AGAIN. I will never buy a BNW again. My family will never buy a BMW again. Today’s BMW is not the same company. The products are defective. Your timing chain will fail. Your engine will fail. BMW will look the other way. Just...

    Seats and steering wheel that move out of the way for easier ingress and egress, request to tesla

    Imagine just for a moment how much easier ingress/egress would be just by having the steering wheel move out of the way from your normal driving position.

    Seats and steering wheel that move out of the way for easier ingress and egress, request to tesla

    The feature should have toggle so if you don't want it, just don't select it. Thanks to the tesla trolls in the tesla fake news/troll cubicle farms for voting no. This is a feature that should not have any Detrimental secondary effects on the car except for making an engineer write 20 extra...

    Seats and steering wheel that move out of the way for easier ingress and egress, request to tesla

    This is a very handy feature. Most mercedes-Benz have this feature. Tesla uses Mercedes-Benz steering colum, and the steering column and seat position is electrically controlled and remembered by the car. So Tesla, why don't add his handy feature to the cars on your next software update? Is a...

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    Apologies in advanced. Too lazy to read the 80+ pages so far in this discussion. 1. Please define for me what constitutes a hard launch that counts for the limiter to take effect. Is stomping hard on the accelerator from a complete stop count as 1? 2. Is the P85D-L included in this hardware...

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    Please forgive the stupid question. what is the cost of the ludicrous upgrade for customers who made the deposit within then 6 month window? $5000 + tax? Initially, a labor cost was mentioned, then removed. How much have you guys paid for It? Thanks

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    in my case (and I am sure this is not unique), I'm not automatically logged in when reading the forums and only log in to post. Therefore, until I log in, I'm a "guest". This must explain the observation.

    7.1 AutoPilot Nag

    I said this before (hope someone from Tesla reads this). Could the software just introduce the vibration signaling it's time to touch the steering wheel instead of muting the audio system? This will wake up the "nappers" and be less intrusive than ruining the driver and passenger listening...

    7.1 AutoPilot Nag

    Today, the nag drove me crazy. Same major highway I drive everyday, mostly straight. Was "nagged" every 2 to 3 minutes for more than 20 minutes. No relation whatsoever with driving conditions. I'm so disappointed, makes me sick to witness how Tesla lawyers have ruined the experience. Cant...

    How can it be so hard to allow the owner to set when she/he wants the car fully charg

    There is no need for advanced mental math to be applied, and I appreciate the advice of our friend the good ophthalmologist. The car achieves its full charge as always, then starts to slowly loose charge, if the software is made aware of time the car will hit the road, then restarts charging...

    Shortage of Superchargers in mid America

    Frustrating non the less. We are unable to visit our son in college (Nashvilele) from our home in St Louis with our Tesla due to the lack of ANY super chargers in such an important route. Too many gaps, appears as if Tesla is slowing down with the deployment of the super chargers, or at least...

    How can it be so hard to allow the owner to set when she/he wants the car fully charg

    Question for Tesla engineers: How can it be so hard to allow the owner to set when she/he wants the car fully charge? even Porsche allows the owner to set this up. Easy: Owner wants car ready to go at 7am with a FULL 90% charge Owner therefore selects in the same screen where the option for...

    The big question. Nag or No Nag?

    I believe there are at least 2 types of "nags" 1. The software is uncomfortable with the information gathered from the road ahead. 2. Lawyer driven random nag to protect Tesla against liability. The nag appears to show a message on the screen before muting the sound system with the alert. Who...

    The worst part of AD "NAG" is

    I wonder how much Tesla pays the pro-tesla trolls? Is there an office with dozens of cubicles filled with "interns" trolling the forums to extinguish any Tesla customer complains? Or do they work from home? "I loved being nag" "it's wonderfull, the best thing since sliced bread" "I wake up in...

    The worst part of AD "NAG" is

    Obviously you are not, however, you got to agree the implementation needs to be improved. One thing is lawerying up the car/company, other is making the whole experience of driving the car a frustrating mess!

    The worst part of AD "NAG" is

    Well, the frequency of AD "NAG" has definitively increased with 7.1 The most annoying issue with the nag is that it overlaps/silences the audio of whatever you are listening to (Audiobooks, news, NPR...) For some reason, it always mutes the key phrase within the broadcast (lost forever) or...

    Tesla Lease offer 70D: reasonable or not?

    Based on my own calculations, Leasing vs buying from Tesla (in order to insure the "buyback guarantee") come out very close. My conclusion, based on no business deduction advantage: Leasing: Peace of mind that you return the car and walk away. Monthly payments are less. Less upfront money to...

    Lease vs finance

    If there is no business tax advantage, does anybody, assuming the above, see an advantage of leasing from tesla vs a loan with buyback guarantee from tesla? (I believe the risks of new technology warrants the sacrifice and extra cost compared to the better rates you'll find with a credit union...

    Lease vs finance

    Ran the numbers 100+ times The difference I'm getting in total cost of ownership after 3 years between Leasing from Tesla and obtaining a Loan from Tesla with the 3 year "buyback guarantee " is less than $1000, assuming in both situations the car is returned to tesla after 3 years. Assuming a...
