    Tesla autopilot punished me for going too fast

    It has happened to me in other states on a x-country drive, not yet in CA. Reason why mine occurred is using the auto passing system my car moves out to pass and someone is speeding and coming up fast. There is a real lag in any acceleration when passing and as a result someone coming up a bit...

    His and Hers Tesla's

    We are a retired couple who have a Signature Model X and a LR Model 3. Love both cars but use the Model3 on road trips as it has extended range. Just completed a 4k driving trip in the western US. We have owned an EV since 2011 with the first Leaf, went to the ModelX and then now the 3.

    Model X 12 Volt battery exploded

    The question about disconnecting the battery was indeed a good one as it turns out. Once the 12v batter has been disconnected, as you might guess, everything is off. Moving the vehicle is impossible. The battery was working ok when I moved it out of the garage so the tech could change it so...

    Model X 12 Volt battery exploded

    A few days ago I received a 12 volt warning on the dash panel. Replace 12 volt battery. I thought it would recharge as it had been setting. Two short trips and warning remained. Used the app to arrange for a new battery. Schedule for three days later, good news. Last night my wife and I...
