Replaced mine pro-actively on my M3D prior to 2nd cross country winter trip in Dec. 2020 (@ approx. 39K miles). Had heard of folks being stranded without warning, so pick-up replacement on my nickel from Tesla service and installed myself...cheap insurance. The OEM M3 battery continues duty in...

I had to message them and ask for the tech to call me before I'd show for the scheduled appointment. The tech called me the day before my service appointment and we briefly discussed my requirement for same day repair or a loaner vehicle, and that the needed parts had arrived. Perhaps I...

Sorry for your problems. Yeah, when things get disassembled extensively as was your HVAC case, the odds of something getting damaged or reassembled incorrectly go up significantly. It's disappointing that Tesla didn't get you a loaner or at least Uber credits. Perhaps you could attempt...

Hope we don't have to wait for Karpathy to return before we get any more updates...starting to seem that way for me (2021.44.30.21). I figure there's no need for me to report disengagements (push camera icon) anymore since I'm using an obsolete version.

Why wouldn't Tesla cover the repair?:rolleyes: This clearly falls under the extended powertrain warranty even if not a recall item?

My M3 is a 2018, so I hope they fixed the underlying problem on newer models. There is a service bulletin for the earlier models, to add a field installed electronic "filter" to help prevent false "passenger restraint system fault" messages. So it shouldn't cost anything if it's covered by a...

Sounds like you will need to bite the bullet and install it the like the commercial installs...Tesla sign optional.

Yeah, I never say the update either on my 2018 LRD. My indicated range at 100% charge at delivery was 308 mi. and today at 62k miles it indicates 280 miles.

Yeah, it was the HV battery breathers (vents) replacement (SB-19-16-010), which supposedly helps with battery banging during cold weather charging or regen. Had it done just to see if it would make a difference but not sure how much it helped.

Wow, that's the same 100% battery range reading I get at full charge (283miles), but I've only got 60K miles including two Washington to Florida round trips. I have replaced OEM Michelins at 24K miles with X-ice on the 18" aero rims and put 19" VMR wheels and Continental tires for summer use...

If NHTSA or any regulatory agency really was concerned about auto safety, all they'd need to do is make cell phone providers disable the phones while moving at greater than 5 mph. Most of the new auto safety systems would not have been needed prior to the era of socially acceptable...

And back to FSD 10.5! My experience with FSD 10.3, .4 and .5 has me believing that each version is showing improvement. Yes, some phantom braking is still in 10.5, but not nearly as bad as 10.4. My experience is that 10.5 no longer unexpectedly "dives" into right or left turn lanes as...

So as bad as it is, 10.4 in Chill mode with NOA, beats Waymo in head to head drive. Tesla FSD 10.4 VS Waymo

As much as we bash it, FSD beta 10.4 in Chill mode (& NOA) beats Waymo in Phoenix. Tesla FSD 10.4 VS Waymo

AI DRIVR just posted a pretty impressive 10.4 beta drive in San Francisco FSD BETA (almost) handles San Francisco . It makes 10.4 look pretty good, and perhaps it's optimized for the Bay area.

I think folks who want FSD beta and don't have the safety scores needed to get it are in for a rude awaking. Being a beta tester is hard work and the testers have to be very vigilant when using beta because it can and does make mistakes at the worst times. However, it is improving...

I need to try this cause I get too much help controlling my speed from my significant other😉

I thought until single stack is implemented (FSD 11.0), that NOA controls limited access freeway behavior, not FSD.

I've also encountered similar praiseworthy passing of parked cars. But regrettably have had a greater number of it trying to pass cars rightfully stopped at signal lights, etc.. Yesterday FSD Beta attempted to pass a stopped car at an occupied crosswalk, by using the right side parking...

10.4 slightly better for me, as phantom regen braking has been reduced. For me it: still stops at empty round-about yield signs, still stop well before stop signs, still prefers the the center of unmarked two way roads even with oncoming traffic, still make a right turn at intersection...

I don't know if it's been discussed, but I prefer the lane change process/screen visualization of the NOA over that provided by FSD. With FSD you just get a vague representation of the path tentacle dancing to the adjacent lane at the extreme extent of the visualization. With NOA it's...

Wow, sorry to hear of this mishap. I would agree the car should be totaled, but realistically it looks like it could be salvaged by someone with body shop experienced as the drive train and mechanical elements don't look damaged.

I would guess it cost the deer it's life. As for your lovely Model 3, I'd guess close to $6K, but that's why we have insurance. Don't forget claiming the cost of replacing the required PPF on the front end.

I hate the implementation of the FSD reporting button "camera icon". :mad: It only works half the time, and you need to use it after disengaging FSD, therefore the car is under your steering control while you quickly try to hit the button without selecting the "driver profiles button"...

Is the rear glass laminated also? My glass repair shop said they wouldn't repair the rear glass claiming "it's tempered glass, not laminated glass":(

Yeah I experienced this on an similar acute angle intersection, but fortunately for me no cross traffic was coming when the car decided to proceed without creeping from 25 ft back of the intersection and with limited visibility of any cross traffic due to the crest of the hill...really sketchy

New beta tester with 10.3.1 (SS 99) and I am impressed, but it's got a ways to go. Took a 100 mile drive today, and it completed the first 10 miles segment without a disengagement. Then went on the two lane highway and noticed I couldn't effect following distance change with the thumb wheel...

Removed since 2018: no frunk hooks or mat no door pocket lights no 14-50 plug included with UMC

Nice mats...However I went with the competitor's that didn't have a logo.

I read that updates of existing apps on the Google Play can usually get released within hours. Is it too much to expect a tech company like Tesla to get this done before they release the Button? Better yet why isn't it available in the car?

Great news...now us Yanks can make it up to Banff from Idaho without resorting to level 2 changing or buying expensive level 3 adapters :) .

Great news, thanks for the updates! Maybe they will wait to complete the paving before energizing, but it looks done otherwise :) .

I replaced my 18" OEM Michelins tires at 24K miles, and they were pretty tired. Put on winter Michelins X-ice tires on the aero rims and they work great for the wet, snow, and ice. In the spring I've put on 19" rims with summer rims with Continental PureContacts. Both sets holding up well...

You say you drive modestly, but "when you have it, you'll want to use it". So I'd plan on replacing the OEM tires at 25K-35K. I replaced my OEM 18" Michelin’s with winter tires at 24K and the next spring upgraded to 19" summer wheels and tires. For replacements you could try tires with...

I had herd these stories of leaving folks stranded in the middle of nowhere, so I proactively replaced my 2018 M3 battery last December before starting a 9K mile cross country road trip. I now use the original M3 battery in my 2006 Mazda Miata (direct fit), and it's still going strong, albeit...

Great news, Now I will be able to refill the charge on my Tesla and my BBQ propane tank at the same time ;)

I needed to get my passenger window replaced in July after a dump truck thru a rock into it. Fortunately the window tint film kept it from showering the passengers inside with glass fragments. I shopped different Service Center to find the one with the soonest appointments. You can use the...

Thanks for the update...looks like I'm rescheduling my Labour Day trip to Banff anyway due to Covid concerns, so hopefully it will be done before I make the trip later this year or next.

Anyone been by to see if any construction has begun?

What! Tesla stated they changed to Pure Vision to eliminate the integration problems of radar. I'm not aware of any Tesla rep. indicating parts shortage as a reason for the change...your source?

For the record, there is a companies that rents the CHAdeMO adapters as a business. I haven't used them yet, but am considering renting one for my Labour Day week trip from Coeur D'Alene, ID to Banff, BC (If none of the three new SC's along the route are finished.)

Hopefully they'll install the new modular Supercharger stations and be up and running by Labour Day :)

Yeah, but Elon says every two weeks, that FSD-City Streets will be released in 2 weeks:rolleyes:

I am long on Tesla and hope to be wrong, but Plaid Reveal did not inspire confidence with Elon's silence on the 4680's, FSD, Version 11 to the fleet, or any other new program/project other than the Plaid, (which were largely known specs.) If 4680 ramp and FSD are going well, they certainly...

I guess the Plaid + is a victim of the 4680 battery ramp problems. Next will be additional delays of Semi, Cybertruck, and Model Y (structural pack) in Berlin and Austin:(.

For me nothing satisfies the senses more than a top down roadster (e.g. S2000, Miata, BMW M3, Porsche Boxster, etc) in the twisty mountain roads. :)

That will all but assure you never have this problem again ;)

If it's a weekend car, you want something that is as reliable and cost effective as your Tesla. Nothing beats the Mazda Miata for getting your visceral fix for sound, feel, and "wind in your hair", of a top-down roadster. All this in a near maintenance free car, and as an added bonus, the...

So I assume the screw in the tire caused a slow leak. So did you get any TPMS alerts while driving, or did it go flat while parked? I assume you don't have a emergency tire inflator/slim kit, or tire plug kit? Might want to consider some or all of these for road trips, along with a...

They are Tesla certified right? Have them make it right...No excuse for that quality of work. I am surprised at how expensive it is to repair Tesla's. I think in the long run were going to see higher insurance rates as insurance companies begin to realized.
