We have not had a recurrence of the lights or music issue yet, but today my wife saw two warning messages when she parked the car. One of them was something like "auto emergency brake disabled." She can't remember the other one. Based on some other threads here, I'm wondering if these issues...

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! We are on the latest software - I know this because our delivery specialist was noticing new things as he showed us the car (on-screen owners manual, different wipers interface). We are going to reboot and see...

Just picked up our Model 3 today and we're having some odd issues. At first, the volume kept turning up on its own, as though the car thought left scroll wheel was being activated. This stopped after a while and hopefully will resolve itself. Next, on more than one occasion the lights stayed...

Same thing happens to me all the time. I used to manually bump it back up to 40 but it always reverted. The power at my house is dodgy on its best day so I'm not surprised there are fluctuations. Fortunately, even at 30 I still always have plenty of time to get a full charge overnight, so I...

That's probably it. Thanks!

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I tried to search and did not find anything. Lately (past few days) the car has been randomly changing my streaming source with no input from me. I may not have pinned down the exact pattern yet, but I think it has switched from USB to a TuneIn...

I got 8.0 a couple days ago and spent some highway time with it yesterday. The differences in AP seem subtle to me, but generally a bit improved. I like the new AP display and especially the white border nag. I saw it every time and never heard an audible nag. Very nice. Lane change seems faster...

I guess it's thunderstorm season! I, too, had the opportunity to experiment with AP in a very heavy storm last weekend. There wasn't much traffic on the road, but everyone was slowed down to 35-45 and many cars were pulled off to the side. I was amazed how well AP functioned under these...

This has been said before and it will be said again, but it can never be said enough. If you simply use AP in the manner it is intended, it works GREAT. The vast majority of complaints and concerns arise from treating AP as something that it is not. I, too, have experienced the uncomfortable...

I went with the 19s with no regrets. My car looks and handles great. I think it mostly comes down to your aesthetic preference, though the above comments about wear and blowouts with the 21s are consistent with previous discussions here.

So... I had no intention of reserving a Model 3. I just wanted to watch the event online. But... the reservation for was right there, calling to me, so... In for one.

Same here. I test drove a 90D but ordered a 70D. I spent the whole delivery wait worrying that the 70D would be sluggish. It's not. You can still blow the pants off of virtually every other car on the road.

Got mine today. Not on wifi.

I just took my first long road trip in my 70D. Before that, I'd experimented with AP but not used it for an extended trip. Thus, I don't know if my observation is specific to 7.1 vs. 7.0. But dang, that thing sure wanted to get up close and personal with trucks as I passed them. Maybe it's...

I just got back from my first road trip with the family. We really enjoyed the breaks. We rarely "had" to wait much at all, but usually chose to give ourselves a little extra buffer charge. This is not the way I'd want to travel in a hurry, but if the journey itself is part of the trip, it's a...

What do you think about the capacity of the SC network once the 3 comes out? We are already seeing occasional backups on heavy travel days. I'm concerned what that's going to look like once the Gigafactory is up and running and the production numbers really ramp up. The obvious answer is to...

My voice recognition has gone completely to crap. I just got the car in November. For the first several weeks, the voice recognition worked flawlessly. REALLY impressive. Much better than Siri for me. Now? I literally can't get it to do anything. For a while it spent inordinately long...

I don't see myself fitting neatly into any category. I've been following Elon Musk's career since PayPal. I halfway considered buying a roadster but it simply would not have been responsible at the time. I can VERY close to putting down one of the first deposits on the Model S - literally had my...

Modest range boost wasn't worth the money for me since 95% of the time I drive under 50 miles per day. Certainly I can understand "range is king" for folks who use the car differently. I was worried a bit that the 70D was going to feel sluggish - I need not have worried about that. It's at least...

2015 70D showing 210 at 90%.

Thanks everyone! Lots of great tips here and I really appreciate it. I'm pretty dorky on this stuff and I don't mind running the calculations myself. I mostly just wondered if there was an elegant solution out there. I guess not! I think we're going to be fine. My wife's a little nervous, but...

Good tip on using the 60 setting. I agree it appears to be useful. I just wish it could factor in charging time like the Tesla nav system does. A combination of the two might be ideal. Thanks for your response!

Hi all - apologies in advance because I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but I promise I've done my due diligence in trying to answer my question by referencing Google and old threads. I realize this means my due diligence may not be as "diligent" as it could be, and I am comfortable with...

Funny, I thought of this thread today. I drove our ICE minivan for the first time in a long time and I'd completely forgotten how to do it. I turned on the wipers while trying to put it in Park, then tried to hop out with the car still running, in Drive (fortunately I somehow managed to put the...

Thanks! Mine was bumping down to 30A at my home and I did not know why. I checked out FlasherZ's FAQ (thank you too!) and realized it was going to be a while before I got motivated to do a full troubleshoot. Since the car fully charges overnight at 30A anyway, this wasn't TOO pressing an issue...

Thank you for answering the question I came here to ask. I went on my first road trip a couple days ago and the nav KEPT routing me to superchargers I didn't need or want. I was not able to override it, but your comment suggests there is a way. I will look harder!

The lack of fob-specific settings surprised me, too. The service advisor who delivered my car seemed a bit sheepish when I simply assumed this functionality existed. So far I've addressed the issue by "forgetting" to show my wife how the car works, so she's afraid to drive it. Somehow I don't...

They were great to me. It's basically a big empty car-dealership looking building and parking lot, but everyone I met there was very enthusiastic and professional. I highly encourage scheduling a test drive. That's what pushed me over the edge, for sure. I hear you. That's why I started the...

Well, I took delivery of my 70D today! So far it seems just absolutely perfectly fantastic. I've been nervous for weeks that the 70D might seem sluggish since I'd test driven a P85. Much to my delight, I confirmed that the concept of "fast enough" works exactly as planned. The car is...

As a middle-aged man presently driving a minivan (awaiting 70D delivery any day now) I would never challenge a Tesla. I bet those who do are car lovers who just want to see what it can do.

I don't understand how this would matter. If a buyer is choosing between two Teslas, the model year would be "apples to apples" and provide accurate information. If choosing between a Tesla and some other brand, the differences between the cars themselves is far greater than the difference...

That looks completely accurate to me.

In the photos it looks like a P85 badge is on the back of the car.

Heck, mine's obsolete and it hasn't even been delivered yet! Based on what I'm reading around here, it's par for the course of being a Tesla owner.

Thanks. I'm in!

You'll be seeing a titanium 70D tooling around Plaza Midwood and Dilworth before long. Possibly within a week. No firm date yet, but my service advisor says (wait for it) "soon."

Hi everyone, noob here. Need a pep talk. I've followed Elon Musk's career with interest since Paypal, and was extremely excited when the Roadster came out. I thought the focus on world class performance was exactly what was needed at a time when hybrid and electric cars were universally...

I am awaiting delivery of a very similar Model S. Only differences are that I got the pano roof and black interior, without the cold weather package. I have a very short commute and a ICE minivan for long trips, so I was not concerned about extending my range. I figure this is going to be an...

Congrats OP! I ordered my 70D in late September and I'm told I should expect delivery in early/mid November. Can't wait! I got the Titanium metallic color but I agree with those who say the blue is gorgeous. This is really exciting. I've been yapping about Tesla since the Roadster days. I...
