I have a 2018 Model 3 that I am considering moving to Puerto Rico. It looks like there are now some superchargers on the island and a service center. I see plenty of Tesla cars in PR. I presume the car's cellular connectivity and maps would still work. Tesla will gimp models moved between...

I am coming up on 3 years of ownership of my Model 3 and getting tired of waiting for FSD to be usable. Autopark is a joke 5 years after introduction. FSD is not anywhere near what was promised (pending validation and regulatory approval). Will I have to wait 5 years or maybe 10 years for...

Now that the Model 3 is refreshed when will we see the new features on the Model Y and what would you like to see? Here are the things folks see on the horizon: Updated center console Dual paned/laminated glass in side windows USB port in the glove box for sentry mode drive Single casting...

Looks like the ID.4 cute-UTE from VW will be out around the end of the year. Pre-orders start next month. 2021 Volkswagen ID.4 electric car: Everything we know in advance of full reveal Things we can expect over the Model Y: Apple Carplay / Android Auto (w/o a $10 charge to use media and map...

On the gap issues only three were worth noting: Right tail light not installed properly at delivery. Right rear door misalignment. Hood not aligned with bumper. Various paint defects at delivery including: Near front driver and passenger hinges on body Around driver door striker plate...

Not my order, but Tesla is now charging $100 to have the privilege of buying one of their cars. Those that put down a $2500 deposit are presumably not have to pay that on top of the purchase price, but Order Fees to not go toward the purchase price. My state doesn't charge sales tax on...

The proprietary nav from Tesla forces us to use their limited streaming services (e.g., Spotify or Tunein) for podcasts presuming you have the Premium Connectivity. For podcasts, both forget where you left off in your playback and have other issues. Most resort to Bluetooth playback from their...

Looks like the Model Y got a range increase to coincide with these 19” rims becoming standard. The stock 18” ones that were on the Model 3 are gone as an option. Does that mean that the Gemini would be the most efficient even with their larger diameter?

Starlink begins commercial launch in 2020 as does the Model Y. It would be a perfect way to test the satellite Internet. Teslas are spread across the globe as is the Starlink constellation. Paying $10/month for Premium Connectivity will pay for the constellation quickly. Plus, EM loves to...

Rumor is that the Model Y will get rid of the PTC heater in favor of a heat pump with a significantly redesigned cooling system. I have always wondered why Tesla didn't follow the other brands who offer a heat pump for us who love cold weather.

Since the time that many ordered their Model Y, we have seen many options be pulled from the Model 3. Is it safe to presume the same happened with the Model Y orders? For example, no Homelink, free Nav data for life, frunk carpet, 50 Amp 240V adapter for portable charger, etc. The order...

It has been almost a year since Tesla released their first version of silicon. Typically, development cycles are about a year in frequency. I have a Model 3 and paid for FSD, but only have the AP 2.5 hardware. I think waiting for a couple more design iterations on their hardware makes sense...

Tesla has been overselling and under-delivering full self driving (FSD) for years since AP 2.0 was introduced. Self parking is pathetic and advanced summon is a joke. The lane keeping and adaptive cruise of autopilot are near perfect on the freeway, and okay off the freeway. Then we have a...

The Tesla supercharger network is getting to be unusable when you need it most (i.e., holiday weekend travel). Europe has a CSS adapter that allows charging with the non-proprietary networks (https://electrek.co/2019/04/03/tesla-ccs-adapter-first-look/) for $190. These folks sell a CSS (NA...

Tesla hasn't really delivered that cheap model for the masses. Markets like China, India and the third world would explode with a very small 4 seater econobox. If it were $20K or so with large range, Tesla would have an unstoppable lineup. Making that in China would probably make that a...

Now that Tesla is monetizing software updates, what would you pay for? In your comments maybe say how much you would pay. I think Tesla is moving to a model of selling one configuration of car with all the upgrades available for in-app purchase.

Not positive this is from Tesla, but consistent with their new design language (i.e., Cybertruck). Prototype is fiberglass, but expect stainless for the production version.

Just one more thing as EM had two fingers out was the best part of the reveal. We need to start a new forum for the CyberATV please. Agree?

Tesla just upgraded the motors on the luxury end of the line-up to match the Model 3's efficient motors, but still Hyundai can beat Tesla with a compliance car no less? Seriously, with a ground-up design what is wrong with Tesla. They are getting close, but should be lapping the field. Tesla...

Autopilot now only has adaptive cruise and lane keeping. Summon, lane changes, parking, etc. are now gone with that being part of the Full Self Driving (FSD) package presumably with other assistive features. It seems to me that the Autopilot label is a farce now and Tesla should just call it...

Of the 7 Tesla's I purchased, three of them had issues. Two had very small dent and one had excessive scratches in the paint. Tesla would not write up a Due Bill on the two most recent incidents in the last year. When I asked for an e-mail at least, no luck either. Bizarre as this is...

I went to pickup my black Model 3 this morning and there were a few swirls, a rub mark from shipping, a dust spot on the trunk lid, and a couple of deeper scratches visible in the cleanly detailed car. Most paint damage was on the bumper. They said they could swap out the bumper with a painted...

My AP1 Model S hasn't received any software updates in months. When will we get autofolding mirrors, dog mode, etc.? Maybe none of that will happen for those without the latest hardware.

Is Tesla done supporting/upgrading the AP1 software stack? Perhaps just working on the existing features and getting things out of perma-beta? Will we see blind spot detection, autonomous driving beyond lane keeping and adaptive cruise, navigate on autopilot, freeway exit nav, autonomous...

The last two times I went to my car at the beginning of my day, there was a window open on the display saying: Enhanced Autopilot Trial Software Update in Progress Please leave car in PARK and release the brake pedal. This may take a minute. It stays like this forever and I cannot use the car...

I noticed that on my 2016 Model X, the headrest no longer moves up and down with the seat going forward and back. One headrest is fully up, while the other is fully down. I was selling the car and didn't get around to Tesla looking into it. I was driving in a friends 2016 Model X and...

Very rare Founders Edition Model X Ludicrous AWD in the three row (7 seat) configuration w 28,500 miles. This was a $150K sticker price with the maximum configuration with every possible option (many of which are no longer even available). Ludicrous mode gets you 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds with...

Your Model S can be stolen with a few hundred dollars of off-the-shelf equipment if you didn't buy in the last few months. Cars sold before June 2018 have this vulnerability, but not any Model X so Tesla has had the solution available for a few years without bothering to update things on the...

Phase 9 was particularly confusing as it overlaid the end of phase 8. Orders between May 19 and June 15 counted for both phase 8 and 9 to provide double counting so long as the car was delivered! Phase 10 started September 28, 2017 with different prizes. Any prizes from phase 9 not locked...

I utilized the referral program to get a quote going to upgrade my solar system. With all the EVs we drive, our system designed to cover 80% of our usage is below 50%. After providing utility bills and specs on the current system, I was told that they will not install on homes with an existing...

Tesla did hardware improvements to get to a 4.2s 0-60 MPH acceleration time in July, but older cars can get to 4.4s just with a software upgrade. Tesla is doing this upgrade on the cars that they sell, but current owners or those that buy used from third parties are not getting this "love" from...

I am thinking about cancelling my reservation. Initially, I thought I would downgrade my Model S to a smaller car, but a Model 3 will probably be about the same price of what my Model S could bring. No money would be saved by dumping my land-yacht Model S. I hate that it barely fits into my...

I won these for my Model X, but already have a set of rims. These are a $5.5K upgrade over the standard wheels and $6.8K when bought on the Tesla Gear site. Keep your 20" stock rims for the winter and use these in the summer or just to look good all year long. These are waiting to be installed...

Tesla is structuring the supercharging into two tiers. The below 60kW tier must be reserved for the Model 3? Similar L3 charging rate to the Bolt and LEAF.

Let us know about your reservation for the FF91. I did a Standard Reservation on day 1: 1/03/2017 because why not. My booking number is FF-424J-GRPY.

Anyone notice that Tesla's web site no longer claims Blind Spot Detection or Lane Departure Warning as a feature. Advertising was prominent in describing their autopilot and was in their press releases, but now the site is mum on these features. Tesla marketing 101: overpromise to pump up...

I wonder if it is the Bolt, 2017 Leaf or Model 3 pushing down pricing, but this is ridiculous!

I pulled these from my new Model X with less than 500 miles on them. These are a $5.5K upgrade over the standard wheels. When available on the Tesla Gear site, they are expected to cost $9K with tires and pressure sensors, but you cannot even buy them yet. Keep your 20" stock rims for the winter...

The configuration tool to buy a new Model S doesn't show a way to upgrade your S60 model to a S75 anymore. Did they start making 60KWh battery packs? What will happen with those folks that ordered a S60 expecting to upgrade capacity later to 75KWh?

The AP 1.0 has a limited sensor package and still remains in beta. Only take this survey if you are a current owner with AP and experience actually using it. Some think that even with software upgrades, many of the features will never work great and perhaps the AP will remain perpetually in beta.

My wife has a Model X and we sold her Model S. Currently there are many features standard on the Model X that are missing from the Model S. The price delta is relatively small, but I hate the FWD of the Model X. I have a Model S on order for November delivery and my hope is that many of the...

Every car I have driven in over the last 10 years has an adjustable shoulder strap for the front seat belts. This avoids the belt from cutting into your neck. The Model X has adjustment and I presume the Model 3 will too. Why not the Model S? Tesla needs to have adjustment as I call the seat...

The latest referral program ended on 4/15 as they announced the new front bumper. All prizes are from a random drawing so I bet the chances of winning are very small. Presumably the drawing can take place already since delivery before that end date was required. Does anyone know anything or...

There are already photos floating around of a classic Model S with the new bumper. Perhaps that was just a mule or an aftermarket offering. Will Tesla allow us to upgrade? Bonus question: How much would Tesla charge for that?
